fire was su6dued very quickly, much to the
disgust OF the spectators. Had the case been

suffered considerable loss for if the flames

Had the men present when the Ere was dis

sent in, but unfortunately they were unable
TO DO so.
The building burned contained much paint,
which burned rapidly, and the flames made a
glaring reflection in the heavens. The latter

A BANQUET.

During the meeting the idea Of banquet
after the reunion was suggested by some. and
in his talk Captain Haiall spoke opposingly
to such an affair. He said that banquet In
the strictest sense of the word would cost
in the neighborhood of $500. and he was
much of the opinion that the money could he
more judiciously spent IN memory OF General
Stuart That his idea WAS to have something
to eat and drnk-but no banquet The mat
ter will. of course. be left TO the committee.
A vote OF thanks was rendered Lee Camp
and the Sons Of Veterans for the use OF the
hall. after which the meeting adjourned to
meet at the call Of the chairman.
The arrangements committee will meet
next Saturday evening at 3 o'clock at Dir. g.

Interesting Sport at the Wheeling Gym
nasium, Last Night.
The attendance at the Wheeling Gym
nasium last night was larger than for
some time past, twenty-five or thirty
members taking part in the exercises.
Quite q number Of non-members were
also present to witness the sport. The
preliminary exercises, under the in
structor, Prof. Loos, served to fatigue
the clubs somewhat, but they entered
the hand ball contest, with which the
exercises closed, with Zest and spirit
that spoke we'll forsthe training received
at the gymnasium as well as the interest
manifested by the members.
The game of hand ball is practically
the same as foot ball, with the excep-
ton that it is an indoor sport. An ordi-
nary rubber foot ball is used, and the
rules prohibit the kicking or throwing
OF the ball. Many of those who par
ticipated last night wore boxing gloves,
to protect their hands. Six men were
chosen upon each side, and the winning
team contested second game with a
fresh team. The play was at times very
exciting, and several members are
nursing sore limbs to-day. The win
ming team was composed Of Laird,
Kraus, Gundling, Hall, Day and Sadler.
Hand ball is an interesting and health
full pastime, possessing all the attract
i've qualities of foot ball, and should be
more generally played in this city,

STREET RAILWAY MATTERS.
A Conductor Discharged and Re-instated-
A frequent Complaint.

Yesterday morning Conductor Harry
Chew, President of the electric motor
employees union, A. f. of L., was dis
charged by Superintendent Harrington.
A new man was placed upon Chew's
ear yesterday morning, aud he was in
structed to teach him. Mr.. Chew asked
to see his permit from the union, and as
he did not have it, refused to teach him.
When Mr.. Harrington was apprised OF
the situation, he Immediately discharged
Chew. The Road Committee waited
upon the Superintendent in the after
noon, and conference was held, at
which it was explained that it was
rule of the Union, not to teach new
man unless he showed permit. Mr..
Chewswas re-instated.
There is complaint among employees
of the road, aud applicants for positions
that Manager Harrington is placing
men on the line who served under him
at Atlantic City, and refusing situations
to men living here. They argue that
the road depends for its support upon
the patronage of the citizens of Wheel
ing and that being true, men living
here are entitled to the preference. In
answer to the argument that all Of the
applicants are Inexperienced, they say
that their knowledge of the streets Off
sets the experience of the men from At
lantic City.

THE BELLAIRE FIRE
TIE LOSS PLACED At ABOUT SIXTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS,
On Which There Is Thiry-0ns Thousand In
suranes-Ths Plant Will Probably Be Rebuilt.
fhs Victim Of the Flames.

The burning of the Union Window
Glass Works, and the finding of the
burned body OF George Stewart, were
the topics of conversation in Bellaire
yesterday.
Mr., Stewart was young man who
was steady in his habits, and was en-
ployed in a responsible position at the
Bellaire Stamping Works. When the
alarm of fire was sounded he ran down
from Gravel Hill and entered the glass
factory. A portion of the floor gave
way. and he and Jones and McClellen
were precipitated to the ground, under
meath portion of the factory. The I'M
fortunate man must have been stunned,
by the fall, and ne only made one effort
to cry out. The dense smoke at the
time kept the firemen outside the build
ing, but after a time VIM. Smith and
another gentleman ventured in with
torch on a tour of investigation. Stew
art was not found where ii was sup
posed he would be, and the hremen
came to the conclusion that he must
have escaped. The conflicting rumors
as to the death of different people also
confused the firemen.
The charred remains OF the unfortu-
nate young man were found but few
feet from a window that was open. This
leads to the supposition that the fall he
sustained must have hurt him so that
he was unable to move about very much
until overcome with smoke and fire.
uWhen it was definitely settled that at
least one life had had been sacrificed, a
search was instituted by Geo. Morgan,
John Ebler, William, Schramm
and number OF other
firemen. Stewards body was found in
sitting posture, both arms being
burned away and one leg gone. The
head was literally roasted and all the
clothes were burned. The remains
were taken to Mellott's and prepared
for burial.
The funeral will take place from the
home Of his parents on Front street.
Gravel Hill, this morning at 0 o'clock,
fast time, and the services will be held
at the Second Presbyterian Church at
9:15 a. m. Interment at Forest Grove,
Pa.
The loss of the glass works will be at
least $50, 900, on which there is S31 900
insurance, distributed as follows:
