The citizen who refuses to subscribe

Euston Kincaid reached here yesterday

trial was long drawn out and he was
strongly prosecuted, but the defense
showed how he had borne the indigni.
ties and insults offered him 10y Taulbee
and how when patience ceased to be a
virtue he shot to protect his own lie,
and the jury promptly acquitted. The
shooting occurred Feby. %, 1890. and
Taulbee died a week or two after. The
enmity between the two, it will be re-

BELVEDERE LOT SALE.
A Chance to Make Money.

The property known as Archibald S
Addition to the City OF Wheeling is now
laid off in lots, and will be offered at
Public Sale at the Court House on Sat
urday morning next. This land lays
we'll. and presents an excellent oppor-
unity for a profitable investment. One
of these lots bought now will double Its
nresent value in twelve or eighteen
months. 1t goes without saying that
Wheeling is rapidly improving and In
duStriouS people are looking every day
for eligible sites for homes. Taxing
this view of the coming sale, parties
putting money in these lots will be sure
to realize handsomely on a small invest
ment. Capitalists and home-seekers
will miss great opportunity II they
fail to attend the Belvedere Lot Sale.

That may be done, either by the city
buying the property l have mentioned
in outlining the route, or the city may
give the Company Seventeenth street,
from Market to Chaplne, and
right of way along the
south side OF Seventeenth street,
from Chapline TO Eoff, the Company to
deed to the city in return enough land
off the south side of the square bound
ed by Chapline, Eoff, Sixteenth and
Seventeeth street, to make Seventeenth
street, between Chapline and Eoff OF its
present width. l understand a new
street is to be opened from Market to
Chapline Immediately south Of the Ger
man church, and that being so, Seven
teenth street, between Market and
Chapline, being narrow street at best,
would not be missed"
How about the present depot?
"Well, there has not been much said
about that, as yet, but it is realized that
it is something Of a disgrace, and not
adequate to the business, and l have an
idea that if the cit would give the Com
pany Seventeenth street, from Market
to Chaplne, that the Company would
put up new passenger depot, occupy
ing all the space between the new street
to be opened out by the Terminal Com
pany north to the present line OF Sew
enteenth street, and extending through
from Market to Chapline street. That
would make d handsome passenger
depot, right next door to the Union
depot of the Terminal Company, and
fronting on Market street.
The line you suggest would be a
great improvement"
"Well, l think it would. The citizens
would be rid of the Sixteenth street
nuisance, all the grade crossings in that
portion of the city would be abolished,
leaving the approaches to your creek
bridges clear, and then that unsightly
and noisy yard in the square south OF your
City Hall would be abolished. What
grand park that square would make.
right in the heart of your city, and
fronting the City Hall! In fact, there
are many great advantages, which Will
become apparent, | think, the
more the problem is studied out. l am
going to Baltimore tonight, after look
at the lay of the land and talk with
the leading citizens, and will retnrn in

yesterday Mr.. Clark was in good
spirits. When he was at the office he
complained OF the heat, as everyone else
in the place did, but he did not COM
plain of any sickness. Last night he
met Chief Coates, of the Bureau of Fire,
and Coates mentioned the death OF
Fritz Emmett. Clark said:

Last night Mr.. Clark complained of
the excessive heat and had bad case OF
cramps. He got some opium to relieve
the pain, and went to sleep, but never
awoke. His wife became alarmed and
sent for Dr. Hallack during the night,
but he was past all human aid. AT 9
o'clock this morning he breathed his
last. at his home on Ellsworth avenue.
Coroner Mcdowell was notified and
thought that no inquest was necessary.
The Coroner, in speaking OF this case,

A TiItouvilIe Man Mourning Roll of
Cash.

Some unknown person entered the
wagon making shop of Christian
SCHNEIDER, on South Main street, Til
tOnville, yesterday morning, or the
evening before, and relieved MIN of
two hundred and fifty dollars that he
had put in chest, which sat on a
bench in the rear of the building. He
had had thrown three hundred dollars
careleSSly into the box, expecting in a
short time TO transfer the
money TO the house, but
had occasion a short time after putting
it in the chest to take out fifty dollars
for some buSinSs transaction, and when
he was doing it, it is supposed that he
was being watched by some person on
the outside. Mr.. Schneider is wagon
maker and has only Sigh income,
which makes the loss Of this amount OF
money rather burdensOme. He offers a
liberal reward for it recovery.

BACK FROM CHICAGO.
The West Virginia Commissioners Return
From the City by the lake.

FROM the lily ny thc 1~ho'
Messrs. w. n. Chancellor, Sidney
Raymond and John S. Naylor, three OF
the five West Virginia Worlds Fair
Commissioners, returned from their
Chicago meeting yesterday, Messrs. X.
T. Carr and Geo. NJ. Bowers having left
last Saturday. The Commissioners re-
ported that the Fair situation in gen.
eral, and particularly as regards West
Virginia, is very satisfactory. Mr.
Naylor said:-
1--WE. have decided to erect State
building about 1O0x60 feet in dimen-
sions, and an architect has been en-
ployed to prepare the plans and specifi-
cations. The enquiry may be asked,
why was not the preparation OF this plan
left to West Virginia architect? The
answer to that is that the general man
agement have habit OF throwing all
plans, from whatever quarter they
come, aside. The California Commits
sioners came on there short time ago
with four or five plans, but all were re-
jected, and the Commissioners had to
employ Chicago architect atlast. We
have asked for an acre of ground for
our State, and l think we will get
it, as we were about the first in the
field. Our State has been grouped with
New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The general management Of the Fair
hfve about two thousand men at work
on the buildings, and grounds, aud
they are making things hum. The con-
tract for the main building has been
let, to he completed in August, 1892.
1t will be 1,s6s feet long and over 600
feet wide-much larger than the main
building at Philadelphia. Our Commits
sion will probably not hold another
meeting until the plans for the building
are ready to be passed upon"
