Pile TO catch the street cars, Bellalre

agninst any Change
A meeting Of the Electric Light Com
mission was held Saturday night for the
purpose OF discussing recent develop
ments in the matter Of the electric Light
bill now pending in the Legislature.
The attention OF the meeting was
called to tho fact that that portion Of the
bill giving the city authority to furnish
heat and power TO private consumers
had been stricken ont with the consent
OF the Ohio county delegation. The
Senate amendment, requiring the city
to furnish light at not less than cost,
and in computing such cost 70 take into
consideration the interest on any money
and bonds used in the construction Of
the plant, did not seem TO Trustee Dhn-
levy TO be Q very good thing. He de-
clared that in q few years the acCumu-
lated interest on the coat OF construction
would raise the price OF electricity 80
high that the city could never compete
with private company.
The commission having been informed
that q movement was on foot to require
the city to purchase the lighting part Of
the Electrical Company's plant, thus
putting the city under tribute, assisted
10 the Westinghouse Company, the lat
ter's machines being used by the Wheel
ing Electrical Company, which holds
the territorial rights Of the Westing'
house Company, q message was sent &c
the city's Representatives at Charleston
informing them that the city did moi
wish to buy and instructing them to op
pose such: amendments. In fact, 1t wa
decided that none other than the
original bill, free from all amendments
would be satisfactory to the city.

Tunnels Tedious work.
The work on the ohRpiine hill tunnel
Of the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal
Company has not been progressing very
fast lately. When the tunnel was first
commenced, work could be prosecuted
With more rspidlty, but the farther the
tunnel penetrates, with so much more
difficulty aRd consequent slowness does
the work 20 on. Tunneling Is going on
day and night, and yet no more than
about ninety feet per month, on each
heading, can be completed. The work.
men. on each heading will meet about the
middle OF April, as there remains over
400 feet Of work to be completed.
Il 10 the intention to arch with brick
several hundred feet OF each end OF the
tunnel. The contract for the brick work
has been awarded, but work will prob
ably not commence until the tunnel
work proper has been completed. As to
the other work on the line, the masonry
on the south side Of the creek will soon
be done. The stone work on the round
house and turn table, out at the PENN.
snla, is nearly finished. The arch and
culvert over Coal Run is nearly com
pleted, and the retaining wall along
Whitaker'a Mil WILDE done before the
last Of the present month.
A large gang Of men Is at work on the
north side OF the creek, back Of the gaI
works, digging ont the foundation FOL
the pier and abutment to be erected
Poles are strung all along the north side
OF the creek ready to be driven. On the
whole, the work is being conducted
with all possible rapldity, and will be
prosecuted much faster as soon as thu
weather settles and nature interposes ne
more delays.

A Travelling salesmaa Cashes Worthless
Draft for S34O.

1EAAb AVE 8ANNN
The Warrington Times Of Saturday
has the following interesting story:
David Nesbitt is q travelling salesman
in the employ OF Neill & EllinRham, Of
Wheeling, and Is ono Of the most oblig.
ing gentlemen to be met anywhere. In
fact, he is 90 obliging that his generous
fault caught him mapping q week ago
On the day mentioned be was here
doing business in the interest OF his
arm and met James w. Aud, who rep.
resented himself as an oil man and
asked Nesbitt to cash draft for SPAS for
him, as he needed the cash. Nesbitt,
upon being assured that the draft was
good and that Aud had 50, 900 or 50, 600
In bank in Washington, Pa, cashed it
without q murmur. The DRAFT was made
on the Citizens National Bank Of Wash
ington, Pa, and was sight draft pay
able TO j. B. Knots. Mr.. Nesbitt
turned the paper over to his firm and
they in turn banked IL. It was not
long, however, until 1t came back pro.
tested.
Aud was then communicated with
and be wrote letter to Neill & Filing
ban, saying he regretted letting his
draft to protest, but that he was oblig!
ed to do 80 to save himself. He then
gave q check, in exchange for the draft,
with the assurance that the money
would be found awaiting the presenta.
ton OF the note. This check also went
to protest and the firm at once decided
toinvestigate.
Mr.. Neil and Mr. Nesbitt came from
Wheeling yesterday and had Aud ar
rested and brought before the Mayor,
He was placed under $500 bond and will
appear for trial to-day. Aud has been
in town about three weeks and repre-
sents himself as q leaser. He is the
scapegrace son OF respectable parents in
Washington, and this act is looked upor
as the result Of drunken spree.
