THE LANGFoRD PARK SINK.
An Extra Assessment on Property
Benefited Would End 1t.

Benefited Would End 1t.
1t is probable that the Langford park
contract, which has occupied great
deal Of attention during the past few
months, will be soon settled in a man
ner satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The failure of the board of aldermen to
pass over the mayors veto, Tuesday
evening, will now cause some definite
action to be taken in the matter. The
sole reason of the mayors veto of the
ordinance granting Contractor Sweeney
$1,000 additional compensation for extra
work in filling up the sink hole was
that the city treasury did not contain
the funds with which to pay the amount
City Attorney Lawler stated yesterday,
that the matter could be again brought
up before the board of aldermen, but he
thought that the probable settlement of
the affair would be that the property
benefited by the Langford park improve
ments would be reasSessed in order to
raise sufficient funds to cover the eX-
penSe of the extra work.

colieag ne, Gen. Veazey, at the Ryan yester-

hearings at st. Paul to-day, at Fargo Satur-

Judge Bragg is one of the original members
of the interstate commerce commission hav-
ing been appointed by President Cleveland,
along with Judge Cooley, William R. Morri-
son, A. F. Walker and Augustus Sehoon-
maker. He is reckoned one of the hardest
workers on the commission, and is given
large share of the credit which has been
awarded the commission for its work He
comes from exactly the opposite sec
ton Of the country from Gen.
Yeazey, having been appointed from
Alabama while the general is a resident of
Vermont Both entertain similar views on
the railroad question and the duties of the
commission, and the small difference of
politics seemingly cuts little figure Like

politics.

AN OCEAN MONSTER.

One Of the leading ship-building firms
of the world, Messrs. J. and G. THoMP-
son, Of Glasgow, evidently believe that
a steamship can be built which shall
cross the Atlantic in five days. They
have finished the model OF such a vessel,
and their plans for constructing it only
need the stimulus Of an order from some
steamship company. The opinions of
such sklllful marine architects must be
held in respect, and yet it seems ex-
tremely doubtful If the five day passage
will be accomplished in the near future,
or, If made, will set the pace for other
new ships to follow.
The MEssRs THosPsoN's model calls
for a vessel $50 feet in length by seven
ty feet beam, with engines Of $4,000
horsepower. These figures are fairly
staggering. A ship of this size could
hardly help being unwieldly in many re-
spects, and the fuel which she would
consume would run up the coal bills to
a very high figure. Very possibly its
owners would make money out Of the
venture, at least in the beginning, for
a certain class Of travellers flock to the
newest and fastest craft aaoat under
any circumstances. But whether a
line Of such vessels would be profitable
is another question. Great progress
has Scea made in marine architecture
Of ate, aud it would be foolish TO pro-
nounce anything impracticable; but
experts have admitted that the chances
OF improving very much on the ships
we have-for the time being, at least
are rather slim.

Parade, and Picnic at Fairmont, in
Which Local Drummers participate.
The commercial tourists who visit
Fairmont, were invited to participate In
a parade and picnic given in their honor
at that place yesterday, and about
eighty-five drummerS, including quite a
number of our Wheeling men, accepted
the invitation.
They formed at the Hough House at
eleven o'clock, and headed by the Fair
mont band, marched through the prin-
clpal streets to the depot, where they
were furnished with free transporta-
ton to Gypsy Grove, about seventeen
miles from the city, at the expense OF
Mr.. Skinner, proprietor of the Hough
House. They wore hats OF antiquated
patterns, no two alike, which were fur
nished by Mr.. Fleming a retired hat
merchant, and presented quite
unique appearance.
At the Grove all sat down to an ele-
CANT lunch, which was discussed with
much merriment, after which two base
ball clubs were formed Of the Fairmont
merchants and the commercial men,.
The game was close and exciting. Thir-
teen innings were played, and the game
was called, the score standing 10 10 TO-.
The battery for the Merchants was
Beebout and Fleming, aud Frank Pea
body, OF Benwood, and Dave Nesbitt, OF
this city, occupied the points for the
drummers. A sumptuOus banquet fol-
lowed. The menu included all the deli
cacies Of the season, and the choice
viands were discussed with avldity.
Mr.. II. II. Mansbach gracefully offici-
ated as POSTMASTER, and addresses were
made by Prof. Sipe, of Fairmont, and
Earl Page, of this city, after which DR..
T. o. Edwards put the boys in humor
with number of bright and witty stor-
les. Mr.. Skinner, OF the Houeh, was
presented with handsome gold-headed
umbrella, and with another elegant gift
last night.
All the Wheeling commercial men ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the splendid manner in which they
were entertained, and they unite in vot
ing the Fairmont merchants jolly good
fellows.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July 25.-
Litigation of the greatest Importance
and interest to West Virginia oil men,
and particularly to a number of citizens
of Wheeling, was brought to an end in
the United States court here to-day.
The cause was that OF C. ]. Best and I.
J. Lockwood VS.. the Two Brothers Oil
Company, and it grew out of a claim
made by the plaintiffs that they held
prior title to the property operated by
the Two Brothers Company, basing
their claim npon leases made some
twenty or more years ago, when the first
oil excitement was raging in the Pleas
ants County and near by fields.
When the Two Brothers Company
made its big strike on the island the

by the new company under rights grant
ed by the owners of the land at the time
of the first oil excitement in that part
of the country, during the war, and
they filed a suit in which an accounting
of the property was demanded.
The property, which continued to
produce at very lively rate, was at
once tied up, but bond was given by the
Two Brothers Company and they con-
tinued in control. The matter has now
been decided. the case being dismissed
at plaintiffs costs, and the property,
which is valued at over one hundred
thousand dollars, is restored to the free
control of the operating company.

rHE WOES on couNr voN BLUCHEI

It seems hard that a real all-woOl
Count cannot exercise the same privil-
eye as the most plebian young Ameri-
can, viz: that Of marrying the girl of
his choice and living on love if he and
she choose; but such is the case with the
Young German Count Won BLUcHER, the
story OF whose romantic marriage in
Chicago and subsequent separation from
his bride Of day has been outlined in
the REGISTER. Speaking of the event
TO a Chicago reporter, the Count says:
"a huge tree Of love grew from the tiny
seed and its roots are twined about every
fiber of nv nature. Suddenly tempest
dashes il TO the ground. Alas. haven't a
lob. Nv father sent me to America 10 mar
nv money. l did better; / married love.
And see what has happened The countess
sister called upon US and asked me now
could support a wife on $50 month.
".How are you going to do itP" she
asked
"'Give me a chance I protested. Surely
I can learn the typewriter, so IN an once,
do something
"But they would not listen to me and
took my wife away"
This is a shame. II the young cou-
pie want to live on bread and cheese
and kisses, why, by all means, let them.
1t will be good for them, especially, as
the young Count exhibits the un-Count-
like desire to earn his own living.
Theirs under such circumstances would
be a more enviable fate than that Of the
average couple, where the Count mar
ries the American heiress for Doodle
solely and the heiress marries him pure
Tor the sake of having a handle to her
name.
If Count Won BLUcHEI possesses the
nerve we believe he does, ne viii go and
claim his vile, and snap his fingers in
the face Of his father who sent him here
to marry money instead of wife, and
who win probably cut of bis allowance
when he learns the facts of the case.

The ELEcrRIC LIGHT MATTER.

There is now in the city a considerable
sprinkling of agents Ofrival electric light
companies, who are working tooth and
nail for their respective concerns. We
do not mean to say that these gentlemen
are not making their efforts to have
their respective systems adopted by the
city, in a legitimate way, but there is a
good deal even in perfectly legitimate
talk to influence, wrongly, may be, a
committee who are inclined to act hasti-
ly and not weigh the matter with the
utmost care and dellberation. 1t
is matter Of the utmost Importance
to the city which the Commission
and Council have to decide, and a mis-
take would cost the city much, and, be-
sides being a constant source Of vexa-
tion and unavaIling regret, would sure
ly cause reflections TO be cast upon the
integrity Of the Commissions decision.
For these reasons the Commission
SnOulu make haste SLOWLY. IL were pet
ter to delay week, or even a month,
and have a thorough discussion and
comparative examinations OF the sys-
tens presented to them, and select the
right one, than TO make the choice has
tily and select the wrong one. But it
will not take a month nor week to
thoroughly get at the inside of the
matter after their lengthy tour Of in
SpectiOn.
The Commission meets Monday night,
and they should resolve at the outset to
be Influenced by their sober judgment,
rendered only after the most thorough
consideration.
