Rev. J. B. Erwin at the Methodist Chu ch
Other ServioeE.

Rev. j. B. Erwin, of Nashville,
preached morning and evening at
the Methodist church Sunday and
the large audiences at each service
were highly entertained. His sub
ject at IL o'clock was the life and
teachings of st. Paul, while that OF
his discourse at the evening service
was the life and teachings OF
Christ. In reviewing the life and
works of the Savior and st. Paul
Mr.. Erwin described them as great
teachers and as being remarkable
men. Christ Jesus came into the
world to be IA teacher of men. He
leads them from a lower plane to a
higher. His teachings are always
elevating. Come up higher, is the
watchwOrd. 1t is like taking an ed
ucation. A pupil climbs the ladder
step by step, following his teacher
Christ, the great spiritual teacher
will lead an inquirer to the tOpmOsI
round and will finally save him in
heaven. The minister dwelt al
length, and eloquently, on the glorieS
of heaven, and pictured the ecstacieS
Of the immortal saved as they would
hear the gates of the Eternal City
shut behind them, cutting off al
cares and giving them happiness for
ever.
Rev. j. b. Erwin came by request
to preach to the Methodist cOngrega
ton in the absence of their pastor
DIR. West. He had good cOngrega
tons TO hear him and the sermons
were Of "A high order. He left this
afternoon on the Elkton train fOl
Nashville.
Mr.. Erwin said in his opening re
marks yesterday morning that hi
left here a bare-fOoted boy about 81
years ago and had known but littlC
of Clarksville since. his Iabors being
in other fields. He is the son o
Rev. Alex. G. Erwin, who will be re
membered by the older citizens as
principal of the GAINESVILLE Female
Academy. He came here abOu
1850 and remained until 1856 and
that institution of learning was
prosperous and very popular under
his administration.
DIR. Lupton being out of the
city his pulpit, was filled at the morn
ing service by Rev. Mr.. Sykes, ant
at the evening hour Rev. Mr.. Mes
bitt, Of Georgia, a graduate of the $
w. p. University, preached. Boil

Fine Melons.

1t is estimated that 1000 melons
were sold on the ClarksVile market
Saturday at an average price Of 10
cents. This would put into the peck
cts of the farmers 800, which is not
to bc grinned at. The supply on
hand to-day is nearly as full rs it was
Saturday, and rs consequence they
are getting cheaper. The crop i
good, but the growers say the vines
are being injured by dry weather.

An OLD CONCERNS NEW DEPARTURE
For many years the Nail City Brew
ing Company and its better known sue
cessor, the Schumlbach Brewing Com
pany, have been making and selling a
popular beer. Its business has grown
enormously, and with accustomed en-
terprise, the company is now taking q
big stepin advance. 1t is erecting new
brewery, the designs showing build,
ing which will be the handsomest ana
most striking in the city. The new
buildings will contain the brew house
mill house and engine room and will DC
surmounted BY tower with q large
electric clock in it. The tower will DC
in all 1858 feet high, the walls rising 70
height OF 1906 feet before the clock
tower is reached. The foundations
under this tower are eight feet thick,
When the new buildings are done the
old ones will be practically abandoned
The new boilers are already in place
There are four Of them, OF the latest
designs, " inches in diameter by 10 iee'
long, and having 81 tubes. The plans
for the new works were prepared by Z

road systems and connections Of the
United States, and in the new adjust
ment of relations in that regard.
Wheeling will hold point OF vantage
such as sheS has not occupied in past
years, even favored Us she has been.
The Ohio river must not be over
looked us an clement in Wheeling's
prosperity. The shipments by river,
for years Of minor importance, have OF
late revived, and to-day the immense
steamers which ply between Wheeling
and Pittsburgh and Wheeling and Gin
cinnati, as well rs those running to and
from less important points, take from
and leave ut her wharves thousands of
tons of freight at cost far below that
of transportation by rail. This gives
her an advantage which 1t would be
hard to overestimate.
Wheeling's railroad facilities, however,
are-not less satisfactory than these Of
other cities less favorably placed a9 to
water carriage. The Pennsylvania sys-
TEN reaches her by two divisions, the
River division Of the 9. & p. road and
the Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Kentucky
division OF the Pan Handle. She is the
real terminus OF the B. & O.'s main line
from the seaboard to the Ohio, OF the
Pittsburgh division of the same road,
and of that Company's Central Ohio
division. The Ohio River road skirts
the States river border from Wheeling
south to Huntington; the g., L, & w.
road gives her easy and independent
access to the lakes, and the w. & /. L.
road gives her the same service, both, as
well rs the b., q. &C. road, bringing into
her markets the products OF rich and
fertile regions, helping to make her
markets the admiration ofall who know
them and the envy many larger cities.
CULTURE AND PROGRESS,
From her infancy Wheeling has en-
joyed prestige in the surrounding
country for her culture. Her churches,
her schools, public and private, her
literary and social circles, her press, all
have always compared with the best
anywhere. Her streets and her bust
ness houses, her homes and public
buildings are modern andtasteful Her
physicians are skilled, her lawyers
shrewd and learned, her people pro-
gressiye and public spirited. The city
impresses the visitor not MS town Of
10000 people, but as one Of the leading
metropoliaes Of the country. Indeed,
her population, while nominally not
10000, should be, as large cities count,
several times that. North and south
Of her, on both sides OF the.rivcr, is q
population equal TO Der own, and tribu-
tary 10 her-a Homogeneous population
OF $4,000. They are in all but nominal
extent OF tho city limits a part OF the
population OF Wheeling, Easy access
to the business establishments, the the.
aires and tho other facilities Of the
larger city have made Bclllire, Bridge
port, Martins Ferry, BenwoOd and
other nearby towns, all oicOnsiderable
size, substantially parts Of the greater
Wheeling, and Injured to the material
advantage Of them and her alike.
Creditablc rs her position among the
communities Of America has always
been, Wheeling is but entering upon

the career which she is destined to
have. Anera Of enterprise, OF progress,
of metropolitan energy and yigor is
opening. On all sides signs Of it are
seen; and as West Virginia moves for
ward In the line Of her destiny, her met
ropolitan city will always be fonnd
abreast OF the vanguard-possibly still
alittle in the lead.
A MONSTER TRAIN.
It has already been graphically said
In the ISTELLIGENcER that to carry the
freight tonnage that comes into the city
and leaves it in a year, would require a
train Of $4,000 cars, making string Of
continuous freight car lAG0 miles long
That striking figure was used in 1850.
Today to carry the freight that reaches
and leaves Wheeling in year would re-
quire probably at least 5000 cars more
than in 1889, which would stretch the
train to about 1900 miles. 1t is an i'm.
pressive thing to view with the minds
eye-a continuous train Of freight reach.
ing from New York away beyond the
=iAsffiissiEsiFPi". hat 4 mountain nearly
4,000,00O tons OF varied freight would
makel Yet that mountain would grow
in single year il the freight-incom-
ing and outgoing-handledin Wheeling
in a single year were piled in one mass
i've heap instead Of being diffused and
entering into the channels OF commerce
or disappearing among the consumers
OF the locality.
Every working day in the year the
freight that comes in and goes out OF
Wheeling would gil almost four miles
Of continuous track.
SOME STARTLING FIGURES,
In 1889 the following instructive
tables were printed in the INTELII.
aEScER, the figures being the result Of
careful computation:

To mention in detail all Of Wheeling's
important industries would take much
larger paper than even this mammoth
edition Of the INTELAaENcER, The list
of the things made in Wheeling fac

tfsroaIEs'' AND TOBACCO.

Before the war" Wheeling stogies
were noted far and wide as q cigar
without an exactparallel anywhere else,
and they still hold their proud position
as unique and good cigar for little
money, as is attested by the millions of
them sold every year. In later years,
also, the manufacture OF tobacco has
become Of vast Importance in the
city, until now the largest fac
tory in the world making a single
brand Of tobacco is located here. The
growth OF the industry is one OF the In
dustrial marYels OF these times. The
0West Virginia Mail Pouch" tobacco,
manufactured by tho Bloch Bros To:
bacco Company, and the "Red Letter"
tobacco, made by the West Virginia
Tobacco Company, are both known as
far abroad and more generally than
ever the old stogie won fame, and 1t is
evident that the business Is still in its
infancy.
