wheeling & Lake Erie Litirntion.

In the new suits noted yesterday was
the one of the Wheeling & Lake Erie
Railroad Company vs.. +. NJ. Mooney to
recover $500, the amount of his SUBJ
scription to the bonus find. This is a
test case and will bring out some fine
law points. The representation was
made TO Mr.. Mooney that $50, 900 would
have TO be subscribed before the railroad
would be built to Steubenville, and when
he subscribed he was impressed with
this statement and he thought that II
1000 must be raised, $500 would be
his proper proportion of the amount.
But ouly about $4,000 were subscribed,
the railroad was built, and the subscrip-
tion of $500 is out of all proportion to
the amount really secured. Mr.. Mooney
is willing to pay proper proportion of
the 100000, basing his subscription of
$500 on the $685. demanded and repre-
scented as essential before the rails
would be laid, but refuses to pay the
full amount, which subscription was
obtained under false presentations

A RELIC
Oy OLD-IIME MANUFACTURING IN wHHn-
ING
About 10 DisaPpsar-Ths Last Of the Tack Fac
tory Machinery Loaded in Cars Last Evening.
The Work Of Demolition OOmmmereed.

Last evening Capt. Charles Davis su-
perintended the loading on B. & o. cars
Of the last Of the machinery Of the old
Norway tack factory, and the big build
ing, which for half a century has been
the scene of Industrial effort, is at last
silent and deserted, and in few days
will have ceased to exist. The work Of
demoiShing the buildings began some
days ago, and force will clear the
ground of edifices as rapidly as possible,
TO the end that II may Speed4y become
available as portion of the site OF the
new union railroad depot, for which
purpose il was condemned, and pur-
chased by the Wheeling Bridge and
Terminal Railway Company.
The removal Of the machinery OF the
tack factory plant TO Norristown, Pa,
has caused no little regret among old
time residents Of Wheeling, for although
the advent of the big Terminal Railroad
Company on the north bank OF the
creek is universally recognized as a
great and valuable Improvement, the
feelings engendered by old associations
cannot be easily stifled, and in several
little gatherings Of old residents, last
evening, there were expressions Of sOr-
row at the wiping out of an old indus
trial landmark, and not a few remlniS-
cenceS Of the spot were called to
mind by such gentlemen as w. NJ.
Handlan, George Crumbacker, John
Suppler, Samuel Elder, James Healy,
and others, many OF whom had worked
in the old building when il was cotton
factory, or whose fathers and grand
fathers before them had been connected
in one way or another with the plant in
It's palmy days.
As long ago as 1926 the site of the tack
factory was the scene of operations in
the manufacture of cotton cloth, the
mill being owned and operated by Thos.
Wescott. The present building was
erected in 1S41, one of the contractors
being the grandfather OF w. NJ. Hand
Ian. Various parties ran the con-
Germ as a cotton mill until about
.1S59, when ii was shut up.
During the period of its activity as
cotton factory large number of people
were employed, among them Mr.. Bow
man, of McCullOch street, James Healy,
Patrick McCabe, VIM. McNabb, John
Supler, Geo. Crumbacker, "Pavson"
Armstrong, Mr.. PeddicOrd and host
of Others. When cotton operations
ceased, the factory was idle, with the
exception of the Office, which was used
for a time by the BodleyS, until about
1869, when the tack factory was
- L.
named has carried on operations until
diSpOSsesSed by the order of the Court
in the condemnation proceedings above
referred 70. The building has for many
years been a very prominent one in East
Wheeling, being the largest in that sec
tiOn Of the city until the erection Of the
big BOdley Wagon COmpany's building,
but IL will soon melt away before the eff
forts OF the wreckers.

a sad Accident That BefeI n Bridgeport
Boy Last Evening.

a sad Accident That Befel a Bridgeport
Boy Last Evening.
There was considerable excitement In
bridgeport and on the west portion OF
the Island, last evening, over sad &C
cident that befel a boy about eight or
mine years of age. Two boys from
bridgeport who saw the affair, but who
were not near enough To rescue him,
say that Just about dusk they saw a boy
playing on one of the flat-bOatS just
under the "Back" river wooden bridge,
when presently he lost his coat over
board. In a moment more he had
Quickly removed his pants, thrown them
TO one side, and jumped into the water
after the coat. In his efforts to recover
the coat il IS believed he became ex-
hausted and drowned. AT all events he
disappeared soon after leaping into the
river. The police were soon notified,
and officer Conrad Of the Island force,
was sOOE on the scene assisting In the
search. Several parties were dragging
the river up to 10 o'clock last
might, and up To that hour the
body had not been found. The officer
found the boys pants and one or two
other things which the boy had hastily
thrown off, was pretty good evidence
that the boy was drowned.
For long time there seemed TO be no
one present who could identify the boy.
Later information was obtained at 3
O'Clock this morning, that the boy is
supposed to be the son of j. II. Featers,
of Bridgeport.

An Exciting AnaIr.

An exciting incident occurred yester-
day afternoon on Nineteenth street. A
little girl was getting water from the
pipe opposite the gas works, when a
stranger picked up the dipper and
poured its contents down her back. The
child'S father witnessed the affair and
promptly struck the stranger and
knocked him down. When the latter re-
covered he pulled out knife, and started
for his assailant, who had armed him
self with brick. But for the interior
ence OF employees of the gas works, q
fight would have resulted.

The Colored Boy Wins.

There was a ''little difficulty" last
evening at 7o'clock between colored
boy and white, the latter a newsboy.
There were several intlammatory words
passed between them, when the
white dared the colored gamin
to come down into the alley,
back of Ziegenfelder's. This fired
the colored youth, who started down the
alley at lively pace. 1t was not long
before the the two youngsters were
pummeling each others countenances
to the queens taste. The colored boy
had little the more science, and won
the contest at the stage where Officer
Moran suddenly swooped down upon
them, and they fed. The newsboy
wasn't in it" long, but just long enough
to get an ugly cut over one of his eyes.

Let Us Have the Extension or Fife enth
Street to Market.

To the Editor of the Register:
SIR; The article signed "Tax Pay
err" in Thursdays issue, sounded the
bugle note of progress to lOng-neglect-
ed street improvement. 1t has caused
surprising interest In the project and
much favorable comment. When 1t is
considered that Fifteenth street is
deigned at no distant day to be the
main thoroughfare from the now grow
ing suburban resident section, by rea-
son Of its being the most safe and more
accessible route. THE Fourteenth
street hill approach is impossible eight
months OF the year, and the motor &C.
cupying Sixteenth street ten hours out
Of eighteen makes it actually danger
OuS.)
These causes will naturally divert
travel to Fifteenth street, more especial
ly after the brick paving, now in
progress, is completed. 1t is fact that
all main approaches TO the central and
business district OF any city should be
and invariably are as direct, safe and ac-
ceSSible to the public as possible; hence
this extension not only becomes
duty Of our executives, but an actual
necessity and one that IS inevitable, and
il not made now will be at time in the
future, when it will cost the Tax
Payers" thousands OF dollars more than
q comparative few thousand will now ac
cOmpliSh. The city owns from Il
To Is feet now occupied by the
alley on the south side Of the extension.
and all the property required would be
that owned by Capt. Prince, fronting on
Chapline street. and that occupied by
Mr.. Luke, on Market street. The build
ings are all comparatively old and Of
little value over the actual worth per
front foot. 1t would be a good business
venture FOR the city, regardless Of the
many, MANY advantages otherwise ac-
cruing. The advanced valuation of
property on the line of the extension
mot considering like increase on ad-
jacent property would pay big interest
on the purchase. Fifty thousand dol
lars now would probably pay all expense
and give US the street paved ready for
travel, and at the same time give all a
safe and accessible driveway through
this most important and increasing
valued district Of the city,
Let US have this extension, MeSsrs.
Councilmen, and have it quick, thereby
beneftting a now hampered and incon-
venienced public. EXTENSION.
