tory Of Moundsville. It was the second
blg public lot sale, and crowds Of peo-
pie were In attendance. The city wore
a sort Of holiday air, and here and
there upon buildings could be seen the
American aag floating in the breeze.
Aud there was considerable Of breeze,
so much so az times that II became
difficult 20 carry on the sale. As IL 80
happened, unfortunately, II was most
uniavorabie day so far as the weather
was concerned. A sharp, piercing
wind prevailed nearly all day, and the
atmosphere was raw and chilling.
Those who had neglected to bring over
coats were in anything but
a happy mood. People jumped about,
clapDed their arms, buttoned up their
coat collars, and tried 10 look as COM
Portable as possible. The officials who
were in the aucuoneer's wagon felt the
cold severely, as they were obliged to
remain sitting nearly all the time.
In the early morning the Opera House
band paraded the streets awhile In
Wheeling, and then boarded the 9
o'clock train, in company with the
other excursionists, and proceeded to
MOundsvile. About 200 persons from
Wheeling attended the sale, and large
number from other places. 1t is esti-
mated that about 500 people were In at
tendance. After nearly all had assem-
bled at the depot, the visitors were
driven to the site OF the sales in
carriages furnished by the Mounds
willie Mining and Manufacturing
Company. The start from the station
was about II o'clock, and headed by the
Opera House band seated In a circus
band wagon the long line Of teams
joined in file, the procession took up
the march through the city 10 the lots
in question. All along the line little
knots Of people gathered to witness the
parade. After drive through the
grounds all alighted from the teams and
enjoyed a splendid lunch served by
large number OF ladies OF Moundsville.
1t was we'll arranged and the Viands
were heartily discussed.
In front Of the procession that drove
through the lots was large wagon,
which was covered with the American
Tag, and otherwise bedecked. In this
wagon stood the auctioneer, Mr.. w. 0.
Beckenbaugh, of Baltimore, the same
gentleman who so successfully conduct
ed the first public sale a year ago.
At one o'clock the sale opened up
The following were the conditions OF

There were very few cash payments,
most Of the purchasers simply giving
their names and addresses as guar
antee of the purchase. Among the
officers on the scene constantly assist
ing ln the sale was President G. a.
Weaver, First Vice President, Chas. G.
McColgan, Second Vice President,
Alfred Paul, and General Manager, j.
Glenn Cook There were also many
others interested in the company on
the scene. The aggregate sales yes
terday amounted TO little less
than $4,000, which falls con-
siderably short Of the first public
sale held awhile ago. All who attended
the sale found every thing free as noun
tain air, from railroad fare to lunch,
with the exception of lots, and these In
some instances were almost given away.
1t was originally intended to dispose Of
goo lots, but u little less than 100 were
disposed Of.
