Bernard Gross, the man accused o.
criminal intimacy with his daughter

Mrs. Gross corroborated this story.
When Gross said the girl was not his
daughter, abe spoke up and said: "Iou
are nay father; you know you are!"
Gross denied thgt he had ever had
improper relations with the girl, aud
said that on the special occasion on
which he was accused in the warrant, he
spent the night hunting a policeman.

Astonishing Growth Of the Habit-Rs:
mprhnble Statement from n D~enler.
Wheeling does not neem to have been
effected by the crusade against cigarettes
which is being waged throughout the
country. While the traffic is being re.
strieted elsewhere, it continues to ex.
tend hero. In q conversation with Mr..
Hugo Loos, who Is tho cole agent in this
city for the cigarette syndicate or trust,
an INTELLIdENcER reporter learned some
astonishing facts regarding the growth
Of the trade in Wheeling. Nj. Loos
supplies all the retailers here who
handle cirgarette9.
"Iou will be surprised, when ! tell
YOU" said he, "that the consumption Of
cigarettes here averages a quarter Of a
million per month. Ten years ago
twenty thousand cigarettes per annum
would have supplied the demand in
Wheeling. Cigarette smoking was 30
little INDUCED in that only few dealers
kept them in stock. l used to order q
stock OF ten thousand about NICE in six
uluull5 INV diSluC ~ hulOuk Lllc ltN
dealers who handled such goods. Since
then tho cigarette habit seems to have
grown on our Young men very rapidly,
and each year the demand has grown
enormously. until nov, instead OF lese
than two thousand per month being
smoked here, it is two hundred and
fifty thousand. This seems like a re.
markable statement, but it is true.
1.-THE causo Of this enormous increase
Of the traffic ia hard to explain. Why
our young tpen should prefer the cigar.
