Tho Rcasscssmont and Liquor Lii
ccnso Committee Ordinances
Passed.

Tho Council committee on police mot
Yesterday evening, for the purpose, ap-
parcntly. Of roinstating q policeman, be-
cause no was suspended according to
tho rules by Chief McNichols. The
suspended policeman was Officer Jake
Watson; he was present, on invitation,
10 give his side OF the case, while Chief
McNichol was given no Opportunity to
present his. officer Watson was sus-
pended by Chief McNiehol ON Tuesday
afternoon. Early Tuesday morning tho
Major murder occurred. and all the
policemen on their beats were ordered
to different points TO intercept tho muir
dcrcr. Officer Watson was ordered up
to the bridges crossing the Ohio river,
but instead OF obeying orders, he was
charged with having gone, TO n saloon
where he heard Major, tho murderer,
was accustomed to drink. That same
morning he left his beat and went out
Of the city, missing n roll call. In nc
cordance with tho rules governing the
police department Officer Watson was
suspended. The rules forbid nm officer
in uniiorn entering a saloon unless in
tho discharge OF his duty, and require
him not to leave his beat without per-
mission from the chief OF police or the
lieutenant on duty at headquarters.
At tho meeting OF the committee yes
terday evening Officer Watson ex-
planned that when he was ordered to 20
and watch the river bridges last Tues
day morning he got another officer to
attend to the duty tor him. Tho reason
lie left the city without permission was
because a friend Of his, who was trying
to kill himself, was in town, and he had
driven out into tho country to got tho
mans sons to como in and take charge
OF tho would-bc suicide. The officer re-
turned IRON the country shortly aftcr7
o'clock, thus missing y roll call ut head
quarters. He said that he had notified
police headquarters that he was going
10 leave the city for awhile, but he did
not say that he had received permission
10 leave.
Regardless of tho fact that Officer
Watson admitted having left tho city
aud missed n roll call without permits
sion, Mr.. O'kane, OF course, rose and
moved that the officer be restored to
duty, and that his regular pay be allow
cd him for the time he was suspended.
Mr.. Meyer seconded Mr.. O'kane's mo-
ton, and they both voted down Mr..
Klein, who said he did not object to ro-
go ~ ON --J 4 = - -
ject to paying him wages for the time
during which he did no work.
Mr.. Happy, tho chairman, was the
only other member OF the@committee
present. a.
Mr.. O'Kane: then moved2that Officer
Stanley be allowed his pay for lifetime
he was off duty, when he was dismissed
without authority by thechief OF police.
Mr.. O'kane couldn't even get q second
to his motion.

Murderer Mailer is Every where.

Last night word was received at pc.
lice headquarters that a man who
answered the description OF Wilhelm
Maier, the wife murderer, had been
seen at Glencoe, Ohio. From circum-
stances surrounding the case it was
thought it might be worthy OF atten-
ton, and steps were taken to investi-
gate 1t. This was the fourth clue of
the day. Ono came from beyond
Elm Grove, where a mar was
sureat ho had seen Maier. The
second was from Bellaire, where
a one.leaged mar was arrested
on suspicion. He has not enough legs
for Maier. Yesterday afternoon an
employee Of Handlan's livery stable,
named Frank Slosscr, was sure he saw
IMaier pass the stable on Chapline
street. The police thought that this
idea, though not probable, might be
possibly true, and followed up the clue,
but to no effect. AS a ubiquitous in.
5diyidual Maier beats tho records of
iTascott, Fitzsimmons and everybody
else.

AN INTERESTING BUSINESS.
A Concern nonr Wheeling of whose May
YAK nitudO few Peoplc hpyy my Idoo.

Vi. - ssJ s"e's
An 1NTELLloEScEn reporter yesterday
had q conversation with Mr.. +. W. Reid,
tho Bridgeport nurseryman, in the
course OF which several things were
learned which were not only new, but
interesting to the reporter, and doubt.
less will be to tho greater part OF tho
public.
Few people in this vicinity have any.
idea OF the magnitude OF Mr.. Rcid's
business. Flo handles moro mail than
any other establishment doing business
at the Bridgeport office, and no has no
travelling salesmGnon the road, doing all
his business by advertising. In tho
past four years his advertising expense
has averaged $1,000 to $500, and he
says this expenditure is what made his
business as prosperous as it Is. He has
on his books now about 700 orders 10
fill, and his trade extends not only to
every state and territory OF this coul-
try, but this year he has filled orders
from several foreign countries, one re-
Gently from a Catholic Clergyman at
Bristol, England, who enclosed his per-
sonal check on q local bank there in
payment.
Mr.. Reid says tho Wheeling pape rs
are increasingly valuable us advertising
mediums for his business every year.
AS to tho location OF u nursery here,
Mr.. Reid says there is not another as
good in tho country. The average
nursery depends for shipment on ono
express company. while hero there are
six, and there is scarcely a town in tho
country that cannot DO reached direct
from Wheeling, Bridgeport or Martins
Ferry, to say nothing OF the river and
freight lines, with their advantages for
heavy shipments.
The climate, also, is Just right hero.
Farther north, in q colder country, trees
do not grow as hearty, while farther
south, in a mildcr country, the roots do
not grow as deep and strong.
Altogether this business is q striking
illustration OF what can be done with
a good location, an understanding OF the
nursery business, faith in advertising
and sensible enterprise. There are
several other lines OF business which
need only similar stimulus to make
them as strikingly successful as this.
