called TO order promptly at 3 o'clock.
The routine business was disposed Of
aud some more freight charges were adj
juSted. The rates from Buffalo TO Pitts
burg were changed some time ago, and
at the meeting yesterday they were
changed from the Wheeling district TO
correspond. The Wheeling Ice and
Storage Company and the Wheeling
Lime and Cement Company each put in
an application for rates. Short haul
rates were granted on ice from this city
to Newark, GAINESVILLE and other points,

Wheeling to Cincinnati, Columbus,
Cleveland and other points. The meet
ing adjourned to convene again at
Cleveland, o., on July I'd to finish up
the business.
Yesterdays meeting Of the committee
was the first which has been held in the
city, Pittsburg having been selected
heretofore on account Of its better loca-
ton, but its probable that the meetings
will be held in Wheeling hereafter,
since it is the center of the district

tiers for adjustment accommodates.

GRINDING THE MILLS
OF the Philistlnco-The Fall Of
Samson, tho Theme
OF AN INTERESTING DISCOURSE
BY Rev. DR.. Rilscr ut tho Methodist
Church last Night.--IIad Habits.
once Formed, have IN AwrulPower,
Hard 10 ESCAPE.

"Mnny c man and many woman
actually come to DO what, at an earlier
period in lifc, they would have scorned
to be-" This statement Rev. DR.. Riker
made in his sermon last night and
proved with copiouc illustrations.
VIVA. the newspapers had said touching
the subject his sermon was to treat
upon might lead some, no said, 10 infer
that his discourse would deal in per-
sonalitics. But nothing was farther
from his intentions. Following the ex-
ample OF Christ, who took from the
men and women around him the in
Bpiration for mis- marvellous parallels, he
himself would adopt the theme upper
most in the minds OF the people, and
draw conclusions thcreirom. A valu-
able lesson could be drawn from the
downfall OF the eX-chief OF police; the
newspapers were discussing the subject
and The mind oil the people was full OF it.
No man, DR.. Riker said, who stood at
the altar with the bride he was to
marry, deliberately intended to break
the heart OF that woman; and yet 4
thousand men in Wheeling were break
ing the heart of the wife whom they
had sworn to love and cherish. No
moderate drinkcr thought that at one
time he would be Keeling along the
street OF the city; and yet many would
fNll that low. No man occasionally Wis
iting the haunts OF vice, thought that
the habit would finally enthfall him be-
You'd escape; and yet with many that
would be the result. No young woman
OF fashion, thinking of nothing but hav-
ing good time, expected to fill the de-
pleted ranks OF prostitutes; and yet
many OF them would-they must come
from somewhere.
Some powerful illustrations OF the do
bauchery Of the will powersby indul-
gcnce in bad habits were adduccd by
the preacher, the strength of the habit
Of drink: being especially dweit upon.
The evil influence OF bad women was
told in the story OF Samson, who, even
after having been thrice convinced that
Della sought his destruction, ncverthe-
less failed to shake off her influence.
The downfall OF the chief OF police was
only used to picture tho strait to which
once popular and honored man could
be reduced by evil companions. No re-
proaches were east upon the man him
sell, but the lesson taught by his down
fall, caused by the debauchery OF the
viii power, was used to inculcato in
young men a horror of indulgence in
bad habits,
