"sHOEBOX" MILLER.

There are rascals and rascals; some OF
them are in prison and others are "fy-
ing high" escaping for time the in
evitable doom that every rascal must
meet IN this world, or the next. Now
and then post norton revelations show
up a great rascal who has escaped JUS
tice this side of eternity, but these are
truly great raScals. Human justice
usually succeeds in bringing most Of
the species to time or. at least, in
showing them up" before they are
hauled before the bar of Eter-
nal Justice. "ShQebox" MILLER is
one of the latter kind, and whether or
not human justice catches him, his
masquerade in this world is ended, un-
less he changes his mask and seeks new
fields Of operation.
While he had things his own way
MILLER certainly few very high. 1t is
proof Of the DEVILS power that such
seasoned rascals as "Shoebox" MILLER
can do what he did, in the highest cir
cles Of Washington society, and even cap
ture the heart OF one Of its bellies. That
Miss MoSEBY loved him and trusted him
is shown In the fact that she wore the
engagement ring be gave her long after
everybody elso knew him to be a con-
summate scoundrel. The female heart
is a thing Of wonder as well as
thing of beauty, to be desired and pos
sessed. Miss MOSEBY was captivated by
MILLER, rogue though he was, which is
a high compliment to his powers Of de-
ception, for Miss MoSEBY is credited
with her full share of common sense.
She believed in him and chung to him
after everybody else had deserted him,
and it is only now that our dis
patches tell of the return Of the en-
gagement ring to MILLER, which Miss
MosEBY's family, evidently, have finally
persuaded her to do. He has been for
hidden the house "until he can establish
his innocence.
MILLER is a very shrewd rascal and
evidently wanted Miss MosEBY's hand
In marriage, for he set to work to estab-
fish his innocence, according to con-
tract. He succeeded in fooling a Pitts
burg paper into publishing lengthy
and circumStantial "vindication" Of
himself. But MILLER was not one Of
those truly great rascals who can fool
everybody, police records and all, and
the elegant Mr.. JAMES w. MILLER, the
affianced Of one OF WashinGton's hand
some and Eost estimable young ladies,
in his effort to "clear his name" has
only succeeded in establishing his iden-
tity as JIMMY RYAN, the burglar, whom,
under several aliases, the police OF
various cities have been after for vari-
Gus crimes, from robbery to murder.

ing has clear stretch Of sixteen miles
to Wellsburg, which scarcely has
enough sewage to be considered, from
this distance. as even an ordinary source
OF pollution.
But the esteemed Intelligencer talks
about typhoid fever in Wheeling,
attributing It to Ohio river water.
Maybe our neighbor can account
for the increase, this year, of typhoid
fever cases upon the hills in the towns
surrounding us on both sides Of the
river and back In the country, where
they use nothing but well, or spring,
water.
At any rate, important as the question
Of pure water certainly is, the Water
Board is right, in view Of the present
situation regarding the water supply. In
placing the question of enough water
before that Of better water.
As soon as the city is out of danger Of
water-iamine, let US have our water
as pure as it can be had. The REGISTER
has suggested that a sewer be built TO
carry the drainage Of North Wheeling
below the water-works supply-pipe,
which seems to be the best plan yet
suggested in the light OF the data now
at hand. The committee, on the basis
Of this idea. has made an estimate Of the
cost Of building an intercepting sewer
from the Top mill TO Eighth
street. The cost is estimated at S25, 900,
and with dykes or wells on the Island
shore Wheeling would at least be free
from the possibility Of the pollution OF
her water supply from her own sewers.
These plans are practicable and within
the power Of the Water Board to carry
out simultaneously with the increase in
machinery to furnish the necessary
supply.

An Exposition of Ohio County's Duty IN
Railway Matters
A REGISTER reporter met one OF our
prominent citizens, who is deeply inter
ested in the Wheeling and Connellsville
railroad. and asked him what he thought
of the opposition to the payment OF the
opposition to the payment OF the hnal
hundred thousand to the Wheeling
Bridge and Terminal Railroad Company.
He promptly replied:
81 exceedingly regret that anyone has
succeeded for moment in putting the
county in position where it may be
suspected Of trying to avoid just la
bility. The very promptest payment
consistent with business prudence is due,
not only to the good name and credit OF
the public here, but also to the hearty
and whole-souled manner in which the
Terminal people have treated the coun-
to and city and everybody with whom
they have had dealings.
''There is always a timidity in for
eign, and often in home, capital invest
ing in municipal promises and paper and
this is especially true among railway in
vestors.
Anything now that will squlnt at
unreasonable delay or reputation will
kill the Connellsville line dead /
know IL is the intention at the proper
time to press the Connellsville matter,
and nothing would be so Injurious to that
enterprise as the refusal Of the county
to make their final payment to the Ter
minal Company, which has been so richly
earned. A new road to Bowerston has
been unquestionably built and the letter
and spirit of the subscription have been
performed. The effect, OF failure to
promptly pay this money, upon the Con-
nellsville line would be simply disastrous.
I'VE, of course, look to the people
who own the Bridge and Terminal prop
erty as the principal contributors TO the
Connellsville project, and IL Ohio county
follows up her rejection OF our recent
proposition, by refusal to pay this
final installnent upon her former sub
scription, we may as well give up all
hopes of the Connellsville extension.
1t would be regarded as downright re-
pudiation, and this community might
hang her harp on the willows OF the
outside money market. l commend a
careful business treatment by our off,
cials, but sincerely and anxiously hope
il will not assume phase that will
give suspicion Of Reputation.
"When / see what has resulted from
this subscription beyond what was re-
Quired Ia the contract, / am amazed.
Look at the wonderful changes on
Wheeling creek from the Hempfeld
bridge to Market street. Look at the
changes In the neighborhood OF Cald-
wells run, and remember how the CON-
pany solaced that old problem with
scarcely no cost TO the city. Look al
the whole situation in this city COM
pared with less than three years ago.
Why no city situated as we were, beset
by rugged hills and ragged creek banks
was ever treated more handsomely. II
seems to me that anything short OF hand
some treatment In return would be q
fatal mistake. i feel very earnestly
about this matter, and ! believe the
great mass Of our citizens feel rs l do. y

WHO Is THE LIAR1
The New York Recorder Of Friday
contained the following dispatch:

The New York Recorder Of Friday
contained the following dispatch:
WHEELING, w. VA, September 3.-The
epidemic of typhoid fever in this city is in
increasing. Over one hundred deaths have
occurred, and there are now nearly two
hundred and fifty cases in various stages.
In some instances whole families are pros
trated. The epidemic is attributed TO the
use of impure water from wells.
Comment on this dispatch is unneces-
sary. II is simply lie in every partic-
ular, and made out Of the whole cloth.
It may have made dollar or two for
the enterprising journalist who sent it
over the wires, but the injury it will
do the city can not be computed on that
basis. For instance, another newspa-
per, yesterday, wired to Wheeling for a
thousand words on the subject with
names aud particulars" showing that
the news editors abroad are al
ready on the alert for horrible
oscare heads" from Wheeling on
the subject OF our supposed fearful cpl
demic Of typhoid fever. 1t may easily
be seen what injury that lying dispatch
of eight lines will do the city and its
business. in keeping people away from
Il.
There is less typhoid fever In Wheel
Ing than is usual this time OF year, &C
cordins to the data In the possession OF
the Health Offcer.
The question Is, who Is the mercenary
liar who Is sending this kind Of stuff
abroad. he should be drummed out Of
town.

A colored man supposed to be named VIM.
Coates was run over by an engine at the Balti-
more and Ohio depot last night and instantly
killed. 1t is supposed that he was crossing the
tracks and in attempting to get from in front
of the headlight Of q train standing on the
track he stepped in front Of train of cars be-
ing moved by the regulator. When his body
was taken from the track il was found to be
terribly crushed.
No one about the railroad station knew him
nor was there anything found in his pockets
that fully established his identity. but = cheap
note book found near him contained the name
William Coates.
In his pocket was found piece Of brown
wrapping paper on which was written:
wesley johnson said Tom McCan and he
was expecting to go away on q contract soon.
You will let me know when he is ready. Come
TO Marks s, between 9Th and It'll, Z and @ streets

There were also some slips Of paper in his
POCKET bearing rows Of numbers. which indi-
Gated that the deceased had played policy, al
though no money was found on him. The
oody was taken TO the morgue, where il was
viewed today by Coroner Patterson.
The corner made as much of an inyestica-
ton as possible, learning that the man, Wesley
johnson. mentioned in the note had gone
down the river and would not be back until
late this afternoon. II was ascertained that he
knew man named VIM. Coates and the cor
oner Is satisfied that the body is that Of Coates.
An inquest will be held at o'clock this after
