The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1890-02-12

took the floor to talk on counter petit
ton with two hundred and forty names:
MIR. Harrell grew eloquent and told
that his petition contains the names OF
sixty-fve men who work in Benwood
and live above Tenth street and who
can not get to their work on time because
the street car service will not get them
there, He claimed that the property |
owners who signed the first petition
live near Tenth street and are not
affected by the inadequate service. He
then went into details about the build
ing of the Elm Grove line on Sixteenth
street, and the first objections to the
loop on Fourteenth street. He said
that unless some remedy is given for
the bad service, that an eating house
must be established at Goshorn's switch
in North Wheeling.
MIR. John NJ. Sweeney was granted
permission to speak. He said first that
the statement that the company pays no
taxes in the city is incorrect, and eX-
| planned that the taxes are collected by
| the State Auditor. He also spoke of
and explained the bad condition OF the
| Main street pavement north of Tenth,
and made it plain that the use of Mar
ket street for loop track in North
Wheeling is impracticable, He talked
about the condition of paYements on
streets where the tracks are in existence
and of the taxes which the company
pays.
The question OF indefinite postpone
ment was lost by an aye nay vote. MIR.
Miller moved to postpone action until
the next meeting, explaining that he was
not prepared to vote intelligently on the
matter, which motion was carried on an
aye and nay vote. IS
Bills amounting to $726 70 were or
i laral noiI IiviHaI thu flnnnrf.
ments as follows: Health, $40 rs; Real
Estate, SG2 %; Fire Department., 1885 81;
City Prison, Sl31 OS; Finance, Sl54 so.
The proposition of the Fire Department
Committee to pay $50 to Frank Ro-
brecht for time he was off duty led to
an argument, in which it was charged
that he was not disabled and that he had
waited on the bar at his home, etc. The
recommendation of the Chief and COM
mittee finally outweighed rumors and
the bill was allowed.
The Committee on Markets presented
an ordinance changing market days at
the Fifth ward market house back to
Tuesdays and Fridays, which was
adopted.
A communication from the Chief OF
Police concerning his inability to collect
the money for cleaning vault on the
premises of J. Lewis, ordered by Coun-
was referred to the Solicitor.
In the First Branch the following was
received from the Board of Public
Works:

Dir. Arnold Keeping up iIogan's Work.
Since .the departure of Evangelist
Ben Hogan, 1. r. b. Arnold, who
is termed the "River Evangelist"
and who during the past six months
that he has been located here, has be-
come quite popularity known, has been
carrying on Il series of mission meetings
at the Wheeling Wheelmen's headquar-
ters, (Hogan's Tubernacle) on Market
street. These meetings were suspicious
, ly started and carried on by Hogan. and
, Mr.. Arnold is meeting with almost as
; much :, success. Gospel temperance
meetings are held every Friday
:, evening, just as Ben Hogan
used to hold them, and the
Sunday school for those who attend no
regular Sunday school, which was such
up by Mr.. Arnold. 1t is his purpose to
make the Sunday school more attractive
than ever, and with that end in view he
has purchased SIS worth OF new stere-
optican views expressly for use in the
school, which is conducted every Sun
day afternoon at o'clock. The Misses
Arnold will assist in the music at the
meeting this evening.
