NURSING A VIPER,
An Arizona Town That is Sowing the
Wind for Future Reaping-one of
Old Geronimo's Kids.
Special to the Gazette.


DUNCAN. ARIz., Aug. 5.-During the last
raid of Geronimo, the blood-thirsty Apache
chief, through Grant county, y. NJ, and
Graham county. Ariz.. he caused so much
disaster in the section visited that the
ranChers determined to see II they could not
get rid of the Indian pest, which seemed
Job the boys in blue could not accomplish.
One night the Indians appeared just below
Duncan, and rounded up all the stock they
could find. They crossed the ella river and
headed for Carlisle. The news was tele-
graphed to Clifton, and some OF the boys
from that mining-camp came down and
Joined with the cowboys IN the hunt.
Mounts were secured for about forty men,
and these started on the trail of the Indians
toward Carlisle. All that night they beat
about in the Mavfower district and cut the
Indian trail early in the morning, but not
until after the reds had killed two miners.
The pursuit now became rapid and the
Apaches doubled aud divided into two par
ties, one crossing the river above and the
other below Duncan, and uniting II the hills
west of ella.
Just about dusk on the third day, the
cowboys came up with them at Doubtful
canyon, near Stems peak. The hight was
hot but short, and when il was all over
little Indian boy was found hiding Ike
quail under bush, and was taken back TO
Duncan. One OF the wounded Indians said
that hewas the son of Geronimo, and was
only four years old. This boy is now about
eight years old, as bright as a dollar and as
ugly as Satan, both in personal appearance
and in disposition. He is wholly uncon-
trollable, and when angered Is as vicious
bit of humanity as ever lived His head IS
as large as mans, with immense ears like
an animal, the exact counterpart of old
Geronimo's, while his body and limbs are
spare but muscled like steel.
He is perfect terror to children of his
own age, and on several occasions he has
been stopped Just short of murder. About

The Largest Stock OF Fine Instrument
Ever seen in the City of wheeling.

Ever seen in the City of wheeling.
There have been fine stocks of pianos
brought to Wheeling in former years;
hne instruments, and lots Of them, but
It has been reserved for the firm Of f..
w. Banner & Co., to throw all previous
efforts in the display Of musical instru-
ments in the shade, and to offer for the
Inspection of a critical and cultured
public the largest and finest array of
matchless pianos ever seen In one es-
tablishment in the city before. No less
than seyehty-eight pianos, in pleasing
variety OF cases, In uprights and parlor
grands, and embracing the leading and
popular makes of Steinway & Co.,
Kranich &c Bach, Krakauer, and Chase
have been placed on exhibition on the
second floor of his large business house,
and those desiring to inspect and pur-
chase the best grade Of instruments of
either of these makes, for holiday or
other presents, could not find wider
range of styles and prices in any Of the
large cities OF the country. The display
Is truly magnificent one, and will as
tonish and delight those who make a
tour through the large room devoted
exclusively to these instruments.
OF these seventy-eight pianos, eight
are parlor grands, of Steinway and
Kranich & Bach make, and the others,
with one or two exceptions, are up
rights. The cases are in English and
American oak, English, American and
Circassian walnut, Hungarian ash, Rose
wood, American and San Domingo ma
hogany, and in eboniZed wood, each OF
these woods being represented in va
riety of cases. The rasult is that all
possible tastes can be suited. Some of
the cases are beyond anything, both in
design and workmanship, ever seen in
Wheeling, and call forth unstinted
praise from all seeing them. The inev-
liable conclusion OF all inspecting this
immense aggregation Of pianos is that
Mr.. Banners large experience and In
nate good taste have stood him in good
stead, and that his customers, during
the approaching holiday season, will
reap substantial benefit in the way Of
matchless pianos at reasonable prices

- EnIsON ORDINANCE.

BY a vote Of ten to six the first branch
of Council rejected the Edison electric
light, heat and power ordinance last
night, which, for the present, at least,
etfectually kills that cOmpany's chances
for coming into the city TO do business

vote was also taken in the Second

unanimous verdict against the Edison

other way. OF the whole Council, but
seven voted in favor Of the Edison CON-
pany.

dered the new municipal electrical iignS
plant. Out Of jus earnings the gas
works has agreed to pay not only the
original cost, 500, 600, but the interest
thereon and the running ex-
uenses of the plant. Every gas
let which the Edison company
would supplant with an electric light
would lessen the ability of the gas WORKS
to meet it's obligations. Aselectricity IS
bound soon TO supplant gas fdf general
use this would mean, less gas and more
electricity; and with a constantly de-
creasing revenue the gas works would,
of course, be able to meet the obligations
it has assumed only by increasing the
price Of gas, which in turn would mean
still less gas and still more electricity
less revenue and greater inability TO
pay for the electric light plant, and so
on, until finally our electric light plant
would have to be paid for out OF the
general city treasury.
As the matter now stands the city
may, at any time it chooses, go into the
business of supplying private consumers
with electricity. The present company
it may buy out at any time. 1t Is only
necessary for the city to request 1t TO
appoint an arbitrator to represent 1t In
determining what price shall be paid.
Those opposed to the plan exclalm:
1.-THE city does not want to buy worth
less plantr
But the city does want to 90 into the
electrical business and if the plant is
''worthless" the city will not have to
pay much for the privilege, since the
price is to be a fair one and set by arbi-
tration. The city is forced TO this posi-
ton and some Of the very men who
are now bowling about her buying
''worthless" plant worked to have the
present law lobbled through the Legis-
lature.
The magnificent plant which the city
is now putting up to light the streets, is
being built with view to increasing de-
mands upon it. The monster engines
will have power enough in addition to
supplying the city'S streets with the arc
lights TO supply, also, as many mean
descent lights as are now in use by pri-
vate consumers. In fact, the city when
the new electrical plant is completed will
be sufficiently equipped to supply pri-
vate consumers with electricity imme-
diately, and Council has but TO say the
word and additional dynamos may be
placed in position, the wires connected,
and the city may supply private con-
sumers with the electric light simulta-
neouSly with lighting her streets.
Council has taken steps to ascertain
the probable value Of the plant of the
Wheeling Electric Company. Council
should have gone further than that and
at once called on the company
to appoint an arbitrator to
meet with others to fix upon
a just price for its plant. II the CON-
pany refuse to appoint an arbitrator in
thirty days the city, having complied
with the law, may go ahead as if there
were no private corporation in exist
ence.
Council should not delay in this im-
portant matter. 1t should strike while
the iron is hot. The city has but one
alternative. She must supply private
consumers with the new light or suffer
great loss and stand by and see her gas
works gradually go to ruin and her citi-
zeus in the grip Of private monopoly.
