The Eject of Taking on this Duty-A Lively
Movement In Prospect.

The Eject OF Taking on thD Dnty-A Lively
Movement in Prospect.
There will be an immense and very
rapid movement in sugar here between
the FIRST and 9Th OF April. On April !,
the duty OF two cents pound which
was removed by the Mckinley tariffbill,
will be taken of, and sugars will drop in
consequence.
A great deal OF sugar has been sold by
the wholesale grocers in Wheeling for
delivery April 9, one concern alone hay
ing taken orders for fifty tons. Much
more will be sold between now and then,
for there are many who do not believe
that the price that will rule Immediately
after April l, will continue long.
Very little sugar is being sold raw for
immediate delivery, merchants taking
only what they are sure they can sell
before the first. Wholesale houses have
very little on hands, but all have placed
heavy orders through the brokers.
Some retailers are now Offering sugar
to consumers at 5 cents for delivery
April or Immediately thereafter.
There will not be proportionately, as
much money in sugar after the duty Is
removed as there is now. Sugars now
selling to grocers at Ct to retail at 81 will
sell at Al TO retail ats cents. There will
not be as much difference between the
prices OF the different grades Of sugars "a
there now is, and granulated and similar
grades will suffer the greater cuts in
prices.
Inquiry among candy makers ELECTED
the statement that there will probably
be no reduction in tho price OF candies
on accounti6f the reduction In suggr
The pieces may be made larger and candy
will be purer and more sugar used and
LESS OF other things.
As to whether sugar in large quaint
ties is a safe investment, there is snmt
doubt. The highest authorities say tha
sugar will remain cheap, but there are
great many who think sugar will goor
find higher prices than those that pre-
vail siier April !. The argument Of
fered in favor OF this is that the greatly
increased demand and consequently in
creased consumption will make it posi-
BILE for the refiners to push up the rates
There will be much more sugar uset
for all purposes than now. Fruits ant
preserves, isllies, jams and the like vii
be made much less sparingly, and PEG

The Insurance Men WIZ Require Greater
Care and Inspection.
When the cellar Of the Bon Ton store,
where the fire OF Wednesday morning
originated, was examined by the insur'
ance men, It was found to be piled full
of waste paper, boxes and other rubbish.
1t is well known fact that half of the
cellars Of business houses in town are in
similarly dangerous condition. Profiting
by Mr.. Whits experience, quite num-
Der OF business firms had men at work
yesterday cleaning out their cellars.
Said o prominent insurance man:
''The condition of many cellars in
Wheeling Is an invitation for disns-
trous fire. Many men, when their at
tention is called to the matter, will OF
course clean out their cellars as matter
Of safety, but there arc others so indif-
ferent to the really serious danger, that
Il will be necessary for the insurance
interest to protect itself. The Board OF
Underwriters will therefore pass reso-
luton reiusing to insure establishments
which have cellars in bad condition,
and to enforce the rule, We will require

But did not get Excited over Little thing
| like that.
Last evening wild rumor was in cir
culatloA that man had cut his throat
| in the barber shop Of the Hotel Behler.
A reporter found it very hard to get at
the facts in the matter, but finally found
an eye witness, who told the story. He
said stranger, apparently sober, but
very nervous, came ia the shop and said
he had no money and would like to
shave himself. Snyder, the proprietor,
gave him permission. He latheted HE
face, made pass or two with the razor,
and then, apparently Intentionally,
slashed at his neck, cutting long CASH.
Il was a second before he bled; then
the blood gushed all over him, making
him siCkening spectacle.
He criticized tho dullness Of the razor,
and wanted to strop it, but Snyder re.
fused TO let him, and getting him in the
chair, fixed up the cut the best he could.
The man then left, as unconcerned as II
he had scratched his neck with pin.

Shortly after two o'clock yesterday
afternoon there was a thrilling scene on
EofF street at Nineteenth. An electric

hands on the work along the creek
Gagged down, a pole having been looB

wire was not over four feet from the
ground.
John Boscia, an Italian employed on
the work, went to pass under the wire
and surprising, naturally enough, thai
the current would be of in the daytime
he took hold OF the wire to lift it ovel
his head. The current was not OF, and
he could not let go OF the wire.
Atonce a dense, dark smoke curled W
from each hand, and soon sparks OF tirt
shot out from the wires. BosCia writheC
in agony and screamed for aid.
A number OF people saw his awfu
perdiCament. but with wholesome awt
OF live wire made no movement TO re
lease the man, but stood watching hin
as II fascinated by the aickening ecene.
Bob Fisher, young employee OF Bsltz
Fading & Co.'s planning mill, saw TIT
predicament OF the man, and getting
long wooden pole, he succeeded sfse
several efforts in prying Boscia'a hand
loose. The. Italian was suffering in
tensely, and fell unconscious as soon al
bis hands were off the wire. He wa
carried into a shanty near, aRd Dr.
Charley Frissell was summoned and die
what he could to relieve the sufferer
and he was afterwards removed to III
Hospital in the patrol wagon. Hi

The wire carried current Of 100
volts. Why this was in it at that tint
nobody offered any explanation.

est, filed into the room, took their places
on the platform and gave an exhibition
OF what they are learning in the daily

schools.
There has been much opposition in

to purchase the necessary books for
study, but il is apprshe1ded that the
most violent opponent would cease to
oppose if he had witnessed what those
saw and heard yesterday. There will be
