IN COUNCIL.
A Resolution offered BY Mr.. Robinson,
But Withdrawn,

A Resolution offered BY Mr.. Robinson,
But Withdrawn.
In the First Branch of Council last
evening Mr.. C. A. Robinson offered the
following:
To the Council of the City of Wheeling:
'For more than a month past charges
have been made almost daily by the press
of the city as to the manner i'll which the
Police Department wGs being run, or else
the details of brutal treatment of prisoners
was given under large headlines.
"Within the past week two cases, those
of Conductor Sigafoos, of the B. q o. Il.
r., and Mr. Harris, of Louisville, have at
tracted particular attention. So much so
in fact, that meeting of the Wheeling
Chamber of Commerce is called tonight TO
take action in regard to the Harris case.
If the charges as made in these cases be
true, the duty of this Council is to remove
the Chief at once. 1t is due to Chief Del
| brugge, however, to state that he claims to
be able to prove that these charges are the
result of malice. Under these circumstau-
ces, it appears necessary that an immediate
and complete investigation of all the
| charges be made.
1.-The following is therefore submitted for
your consideration:
''ResOlUsd, First, that the Committee on
Police be instructed to at once thoroughly
investigate the charges made by the Wheel
| ing NelCS aud InteUigencer against the Chief
of Police and his deputies, particularly the
| charges in the SigafooS and Harris cases.
and the charge that in order for a stranger
to be safe from molestation by the police of
| the city of Wheeling, that he carry faro
layout with him.
"Second, that the City Solicitor be in
structed to assist the Committee in conduct
ing the investigation.
Third, that the Committee be given the
power to send for such persons and papers
| as they may deem necessary.
| Fourth, that the investigation be pub
lie
Fifth, that the Committee report TO
| Council at the earliest possible day the re.
suit Of their investigation, and recommend
such action on the part Of Council as they
may deem necessary.
&c. A. ROBINSON
! As the matter was not in the shape OF
direct charges, required by tho rules
when an officers conduct is in question,
no official notice could be taken Of it.
and Ii will not appear on record.
After Council adjourned, Mr.. Robin
SON disclaimed any bias, political or other
luminosity, and said no one was behind
him in the matter. 1t had simply &C.
Cured TO him it was matter to be in
vestigated, and under that impulse he
had written and offered the paper.

The Kind of Stuff You Find in
Women.

A lady living in Henderson county,
whose husband died a short while
since, did something the like ofwhich
is rarely witnessed. 1t seems that
her husband owed some four thou
sand dollars, most of which had
either been barred by the statute of
limitations or had been liquidated
by his act in taking benefit OF the
bankrupt law. His widow lost no
time in collecting these evidences of
Indebtedness, and borrowed $4,000
with which to pay them, mortgaging
the farm (Which belonged to her and
on which she lived) to raise the mon
ey. Recently checks were sent out
to creditors in full, in amounts rang
inc from a few dollars up to seven or
eight hundred dollars.
She steadily refused to recognize
either the statute of limitations or
the act of bankruptcy as any bar to
debts owing by her husband, and
not having the money mortgaged
her own home to raise it.-Hender-
son Ky Journal.

Two Clever Paupers Caught.

Paris Dispatch.
Sympathetic spectators gathered
this afternoon around young man
who fell down in front of the
Louvre in what appeared to be an
epileptic seizure One OF the BY
ISLANDERS stepped forward and pro-
posed to carry the Invalid to a chem
lists shop not far Off and another Of
fered to assist. The one who spoke
first took up the epiletic's hat and,
throwing six pense into it, said to
the crowd: Il am a poor man my
self, but If each one of you did as I,
this unfortunatec creature would have
something to relieve his sufferings."
Impelled by this generous example,
the crowd showered coppers and
small silver into the hat until over
10 shillings was collected. Great
was their astonishment when two
constables walked up and seized
both the benevolent originator of
the aims collection and the epileptic
sufferer. The latter, as soon as he
Opeueu Ills eN IS anu saw ulle pOllCe-
man, forgot that he was an invalid
and attempted to escape. They were
both taken to the lookup, and were
identified as two well-known lazy
mendicants, named Garnet and Des-
marets. They had enacted the same
dodge successfully in the Rue Saint
Honore during the forenoon, the
epileptic and his colleague on that
occasion fleeing the charitable to
the extent of 8 shillings. The chem
lists assistant, who relieved the pre-
tended sufferer in the Rue Saint
Honore, happened to pass the
Louvre, while his second perform
ance was going on. Suspecting a
fraud, he told the police, hence their
arrest.

AGeneratlon on the March.

London Wit and Wisdom
| A generation on the march from
the cradle to the grave is an instruc-
tive spectacle, and we have it care
fully presented to US in a report of
DIR. Farr. Let US trace the physical
fortunes which any million of us may
reasonably expect. The number to
begin with is made up of 81, 745
boys and ASS, 255 girls, a dispropor-
ton which, bv-anu-by, will be re-
dueed by the undue morality of the
boys and will be reversed before the
close of this stran@eeventtul history.
More thana quarter of these children
will die before they are five years old
in exact numbers 141,3S7 boys
and 1911 girls. The two sexes
are now nearly on level. The next
tive years will be much less fatal. In
the succeeding five years-from ten
to fifteen-the morality will be still
further reduced Indeed, for both
sexes, this is the most healthy period
of life: the death rate, however, is
lower for boys than girls. There will
be some advance in the deaths in the
next FIVE years. and still more in the
FIVE that follow, but 634 045 will GER
tainly enter ON their twenty-sixth
year. Before the next ten years are
at an end two-thirds OF the women
will have married. The deaths dur
ing that period will be 62.052 and of
these no fewer than 7,134 will be
caused by consumption. Between
thirty-ive and lortytive Il still larg-
er ''death-toll' will be paid and little
more than half the original band
in exact numbers, 5O2, 915-willente
on their forty-sixth year. Each sue
ceeding decade, up to seventy-fve,
will now become more fatal, and the
numbers will shrink terribly. At
sevenry-five only 161. 124 will remain
to be struck down, and ofthese 1885,
$50 will have persisted by the must
become still more limited as enlight-
eminent goes on. As method for
producing oblivion from pain he ex-
poets to find it further limited in ap-
plication to short seasons of special,
social or meteorological cast; and if
it falls the influence of suggestion
will fall with it.

Peters Won the Bet.

From the New York Sun.
When a man gets sick or meets
with an accident, in a Canadian lum-
Der camp. he neither expects nor re-
ceives anything like good nursing.
If he is patient the men will do what
they can, but if he shows DISPOSE
ton to whine he is not considered
worth any extra trouble. At camp
"B," two or three winters ago, a
man named Peters was hurt by a fall
ing tree-badly hurt. The camp was
forty miles from town or doctor,
the snow three feet deep, and all
they could do was to rub the man
with whisky and put him IN his bunk.
While no bones were broken, it seem
ed certain that he was internally in
iured, and that he could not live be-
yond a day or two. Business was
driving, and there were no men to
spare, and after Peters had beenrub-
bed down the boss said:
"Now, Peters, you understand how
it is; you will probably die
eyes"
Probably die within "a hours"
eyes"
Sand SO, you see anything extra
will be a dead loss to me-
II see, but in case l die you'll have
manners enough to knock the men
off for half a day, won't you? l al
so want a good square grave. {"
"But Peters, we are rushed, and to
do that will cost me $50 worth OF
time"
Chow much will you give me not
to die?"
"I'll say $35-that is, if you'll fore
go a funeral if you do die
''That looks fair" said Peters, aft
er a little thought; ''and I'll do it.
Shake"
They shook and Peters set his
teeth hard and determined to live.
His only medicines were kerosene oil,
whisky and vinegar, and his only
delicacies fat pork and bean soup;
but i'll three weeks he was out and at
work.
Couldn't you make it 1902" ask

For why?"
Because, if you had died l should

The Joke Was on Mr.. Sawyer.

A few days ago a New York news
paper correspondent. says the Mil
waukee Sentinel, in lieu of Il better or
more appropriate subject for his
Washington letter, presented in his
paper readable sketch ON the SEN
atorial bachelors and widowers, and
the great catches for widows and
marriageable maidens among the
legislators in the upper branch of
congress. The article was illustrat-
ed and highly colored, sufficiently to
attract the eye of any ambitious te-
male. Senators Sawyer and Allison
were grouped together in a hand
some picture representing likely
widowers, and their faces We're arrang-
ed to give a view of their kindliest
and most philanthropic sides.
1t is apparent that 1927 females
in the country saw the articles and
were smitten by the opportunities it
offered for a splendid catch. 1t ap-
pears that each OF these I, females
was particularly struck with the kind
ly and philantropic countenance OF
the senior Wisconsin senator. the de-
scription given of his elegant new
home, and his pocketbook. At least
enough of them seemed to be impress
ed to open up to the astonished gaze
of Mr. Sawyer correspondence on
the subject of matrimony, which for
volume, flow of soul, and delightful
opportunities for conjugal bliss would
have made Mormon elder in good
standing in the Church of the Latter
Day Saints, Salt Lake City swear re-
newed allegiance to the spirit and the
commands of the late and immortal
lied Joe Smith.
Letters came from widows and maid
ems, from some lowly in life and some
who would be willing to light up the
new senatorial home with a glow
that would scorch the fresccing.
Some wanted to exchange photos and
others would be willing to fly to the
ample protection of the senatorial
arm if the senator would prepay the
passenger tariff rates on stable
package of ambitious woman. Some
were seriously loving and some were
pathetically touching in their solici-
tude for the senator's welfare.
The senator had his laugh over the
tender epistles, and after destroying
a part Of them, bethought himself Of
the courtesy due a brother senator,
and in a plain matter OF business
way, folded each letter and wrote
across the back in the customary
manner:
Respectfully referred to Hon. William B.
Allison, United States senate, with the re
quest that my correspondents he accommo
dated, if possible by him.

Survival of Dangerous Germs.


1t has been shown by NJ. Esmarch
that disease microb es do not long
survive in corpses, and as a general
rule the more rapidly decomposition
takes place the more quickly will the
organisms perish. Experiments
were made with nine different kinds
of microbes, contained in the bodies
of animals under the various con-
ditions of burial in the ground, keep
ing under water and exposure to air.
The bacillus of fowl cholera was sell.
dom found after three weeks, though
that of septicamia survived ninety
days, while that of consumption did
not lose its virulence. until from 204
to 252 days had passed. All trace
of the other organisms Including

era, tetanus and anthrax disap-
peared in from three days toSa week.

ALPS Well That Ends Well.

A young man who travels for a
New York bible concern was at the
Bloody house yesterday, says the
Toledo Blade, and along in the after
noon, following the promptness, or
rather the wooings, OF the spirit,
started back to the bar for drink.
He had just reached the door, when
he was star tied by an apparition in
the somber clothed person OF his en-
ployer, who had stopped over a day
on a flying trip to Chicago, where
bible houses find q large and attr act.
i've field.
Seeing the employer, the young
man unconcernedly walked on into
the Mushroom, and began to lave his
hands. The employer carelessly saun-
tered down the long corridor, round
through the billard-hall. and, just as
heentered the bar, again encountered
his travelling employee, who, bowling
politely, walked on into the billiard
hall, and became absorbed in watch
ing a game OF billiards.. But he kept
an eye on his employer, and when he
disappeared returned to the bar after
the coveted drink.
Again he ran into the old man, and
proceeded on into the Mushroom,
where he again bathed his hands.
The employer then took a turn
watching the spinning ivory globes.
Anon, the young man made another
effort. The employer was again en-
countered. Then they changed places
once more, and the young man watch
ing the billiards. and the old one
washing his hands.
The drummer then conceived and
executed a coup d'etat, or something
of that sort. He called for his coat
at the courtroom, and told. the old
man as they again passed in the bar
that he gessed he'd go out and call
on a minister whom he was working
up into a bible-buying mood.
Then he walked around, came
through the billiard-hall, and once
more went into the bar.
SWELL" he said, smiling pleasantly
as eencountered his employer again;
forgot to wash my hands," Then
he stole into the Mushroom, peered
around the corner of the wall until he
saw the old man disappear; then he
FASTENED back to the bar. The same
inspiration had fred the old man,
and they collided once more. Then
they had to wash again.
