When Boss PLATT's man, JACOB
SLoAT FAssErT, was nominated for
Governor of New York on the Republi-
can ticket he made ringing" speech
to the convention, and then Immediately
elbowed his way to the side OF his hand
some wife and kissed her.
Now, Mr.. FAssETT kissing Mrs. FAs-
sETT is all right. II man has
not the right to kiss his wife, what
right on earth has he!
But the elements Of time and place
enter into the question, to some degree.
Mr. FAssETT is doubtless as thoroughly
versed in the proprieties as he is in the
execution OF Boss PLATT's political or
ders, and he would, as an abstract propo-
sition, pronounce against public kissing
and condemn the man who, the
most prominent object of great polit-
icsl convention, would elbow aside
those who were waiting to congratulate
uiul, anu OoLcuIdIiOuSly eGiluO oSiOSS WIZ
stage TO kiss his wife, the cynosure OF
all eyes.
Mr.. FAssETT would doubtless &C
knowledge to his master, Boss PLATT,
that it was execrable taste, but that the
occasion was so excellent one to work
in a little dramatic effect that the
breach Of good taste was excusable
from a political point OF view.
Mrs. FAssETT doubtless loves and ad-
miresher husband beyond'expression and
it is stated that she, more than anyone
else, has urged on his ambition. He
is young and handsome and has climbed
TO considerable height. And
since Mr.. FAssETT himself has
made a public spectacle of her
we may be excused for specu-
lating on her feelings when Mr..
KENEFEcT, delegate from Erie Coun-
ty, in the back part of the hall raised
a storm of Kisses by limiting that her
ambitious and thus far successful hus-
band might be the FoLGEK of 1891 and
take a drop back into the political mud
that would bury him out of sight.

WILL AWAIT OPINIONS.
The Final Terminal Payment stii
ing With the Commissioners

The adjourned meeting from last
Monday of the Finance Committees u
the County Commissioners was held yes.
terday morning at the Commissioners
rooms. 1t was brief session, not ex-
tending over twenty minutes. Inc
chief object OF the meeting was 10 con,
slider the advisa 5ility of paying the maj
s1OO. 900 to the Wheeling Bridge ana
Terminal Company. The petition as
given in yesterdays REGISTER and
signed by one hundred and fifty OF the
most prominent citizens strongly FAVOR,
ing Immediate payment, was presented
and read. 1t was resolved that Tue
committee recommend that 1t be recelV-
ed and filed.
Following the disposition OF the petl-
ton Prosecuting Attorney Howard pre-
sented his opinion in the matter, which
was also filed. His opinion was not
made public. On motion of Mr.. Koch,
Messrs. McGregor and Cruise were ap-
pointed I subcommittee to employ ex
Judge Jacobs in reference to obtaining
a written opinion from him as to
whether the 100000 is legally due.
The subcommittee then took recess
of fifteen minutes, after which the COM
mittee reported that ex-Judge Jacobs
had agreed TO furnish written opinion
on the matter at. the earliest possible
time. The opinion will probably be
ready in few days. The date for the
next meeting of the committee has not
been fixed, the next session being sub
ject to the call of the chairman.

PAY THE MONEY.

The County Commissioners held
meeting with closed doors yesterday on
the question of paying the last INSTALL
ment Of 500, coo 70 the Wheeling Bridge
and Terminal Company. The fact
leaked out that they came to no de-
cision further than to engage another
legal adviser besides the Prosecuting
Attorney; so it is to be presumed that
the Prosecuting Attorneys opinion on
the question was adverse to paying the
money, or else, raised points which the
Commissioners desire further enlighten-
ment on before rendering a decision.
The plain people Of Ohio county, how
ever, can see no reason why the money
should not be paid at once. They are
satisfied. They have witnessed the
vast work of the company which has al
ready done more than it promised at the
start. The company has already spent
money on the work here, in comparison
with which the whole sum Ohio county
has in it is small. Compared to the to-
tai sum the company will expend before
the work is done, it will be almost in
significant. After this for the county
to object to paying portion of its share
on a technically would be an act
which the people would not approve.
We have the railroad connection on
the Ohio side, which was promised,a and If
the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Co.
did not build 1t, ii certainly would not
have been built had it not been for that
company. As the petition submitted to
the Commissioners shows, the business
and taxpaying public Of Ohio county
are practically unanimous in favor of
paying the money at once.

THAT the best judges believe there is
oil in paying quantities in Ohio
county is shown from the fact
that the great Mcdonald field
is extending in this direction and that
all the territory to the northeast of US
between Mcdonald and Wheeling is on
the market and is in demand for oil
leases. That we have been unsuccess-
full in boring for oil in this county proves
nothing, except that we have probably
bored in the wrong places, in the wrong
end Of the county. Who knows but that
the great oil field, which has just been
discovered over the line in Pennsylvania
would have had its start in West Vir-
ginia, had we gone to the northeastern
instead of the southern portion Of Ohio
county to bore for oil? Our dispatches
this morning contain news of the direc-
tion in which the great Mcdonald field
is extending that will be of much inter
est to Ohio county people, particularly
those who have land on line extend
ing from Mcdonald to this city.

STALKING WELSH RABBITS.

The Joke of Which Duluth Youth Was
the Victim
ssDId YOU ever stalk the Welsh rao-
bit?"
The question seemed to confuse the
youth addressed. He was from Duluth,
where his father made his pile in
lumber. Since his arrival in Gothari
he had been perfect resovoir of hunt
ing "reminiscences in the wild West.
He had even pumped lead" into few
s.rascally redskins" His stories were
beginning to pail, and it was at this
juncture that a youth called "Billy"
threw the lamb-like question at him.
His answer was mo"
swell, I'd hardly have believed 1t.
Well have to get you up hunt. Could
YOU get ready by tomorrow morning.?
Duluth thought he could.
"Well,n said Billy, You come up TO
my rooms tomorrow morning, say ABOUT
8. I'll be ready, and we'll take a go
at the rabbits. It's an elegant time Tor
them now, and they are as thick as
Sam Hill up near the border OF West
chester county. But there is one thing
you've got to make up your mind TO.
Well, it's just this. I've known some
of the bravest men, men with hghtlng
records, who wouldn't dare tackle
Welsh rabbit. Why, when Mnldoon
was training Sullivan, John wanted to
go out and take little of the sport
but Muldoon wouldn't listen to 1t;
thought 1t might injure him. Weil'
good night, boys, I'm going to turn I'D.
Now, you'll be on hand. I'll telegraph
and have all the arrangements made?
So long"
At 8 o'clock sharp the next morning
Duluth's pa would have gazed in awe at
his offspring. He was gorgeous. n
tore-and-aft English hunting hat adorn-
ed his Uranium, while the rest OF MS
anatomy was clad in the regulation
hunting garb, q Ia Briton, down to his
leggins. The latest improved repeating
rife incased in its cover was in his right
hand, and slung over his shoulder oy
straps was leather mounted quart
flask. He hied him in this attire to
Gabe Cases, where the boys were walt
ing for him. Billy met him with this
remark:
They say the rabbits are thick
around here this morning" Some
drinks were ordered and desutory talk
INDUCED in. Suddenly one Of the crowd
amid suppressed laughter shouted ex-
citedly: SCOT your gun ready?"
Eyes, yes, why?" responded Duluth.
because, there's your rabbit, said
Billy. Shoot it quick, or it will get
awayw
At this moment the rear door opened,
and waiter appeared with steaming
platter. Duluth flushed, grabbed his
gun and looked out OF the window. He
turned around in time to see his COM :.
panions apparently in the last stages of
apoplexy. Roars Of laughter greeted
his amazed interrogatory gaze.
"Shoot. Shoot" they screamed. But
Duluth saw the joke, blushed. STAN
mered, kicked a little, set up the cham
page, and sent messenger boy to the
hotel after his other clothes.

LEASED A NEW TRACT.
The Wheeling Natural Gas Company Gets
New Territory.

The Wheeling Natural Gas Company,
has leased a tract Of land two
miles west of Bellaire on Nc
Mahon's Creek The lease calls for
a tract four miles square, and the time
was limited to eighteen months for the
company TO drill and complete well,
which was to be located in the centre OF
the square. 1t has bsen complied with
by said company and the proprietors
have located it on the Hugh Merrett
farm one-half mile northeast OF Nc
Gainesville, o.
Yesterday morning employees were
set to work erecting derricks which they
intend to have completed against Mon
day, the 14th of September, at which
time the Murphy Brothers, of Washing
ton, Pa, will be present to start the
machinery, and they will push the
work to completion on large scale.
There is every reason to believe that
oil and gas can be found in those parts,
and the people are anxiously awaiting
the results Of the Merrett well II 1t
proves to be gusher, all the land will be
leased in Pultney township and more
wells be put down at once. There is a

A GREAT EAR WEEK.

Yesterday closed the greatest fair
week we have ever had, and the most
successful for the Fair Association from
money standpoint. II we include
Monday the daily attendance varied
from 500 to about 20, 900 during the five
days. In all about $4,000 people saw
the fair.
II the Association has its wits about it
it will lose no time in improving the
grounds and enlarging and increasing
the accommodations.
The State and the city are growing.
The attendance at the next Fair will be
still larger, and day before yesterday
the accommodations we're entirely in
sufficient, especially for those who
wished to see the races, the chief at
traction.
The race track should be widened
and the grand stand enlarged and num-
erous other improvements made which
will suggest themselves,
When the city has it's electric light
plant in shape and Wheeling is made
thing of beauty, especially by night, it
may move the Association to putting
electric lights in the grounds next
year and running the Fair by
night as well as in the day
time, which would be a move that
would not only vastly increase the at
Effectiveness of the Fair but also put
money into the pockets of the Associa-
ton.
