Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1892-10-21
JULY, 1892. SEPTEMBER, S92 INCREASE.


Considerable discussion followed the
presentation of these figures, the Island
representative especially being slow TO
believe that there had been no greater
increase in that section.
Col. Miller was OF the opinion that
perfect census could not be taken under
the present system, and was inclined TO
believe that the United States govern
ment had the only effective method OF
getting at the right figures. The ten
dency of those who have just taken the
last census seems TO have been to make
il more or die in the attempt"
These figures are no less a subject OF
deep thought than were the fig ures
turned In by the enumerators In July.
For instance: In 1890 the enumeration
made by order of the Board footed up
35, s51, and the enumeration ia 1891, foot
ed up 81, SOC. Now the Boards Septem-
Der census figures up 80, 754, or loss OF
$50, while it is 2,971 more than that
other census made by the Board buttwo
short months before. Take the Island,
as an example. In 1891 the enumera-
tors of the Board put il down as having
4,67s people; now the September emu
merators say its population mas fallen of
to 4. 424, a aacrease of 254i Aud still the
population over there has really grown
during the past year at least two hum
dred, as very considerable number OF
new houses have been built, and none
are vacant For curiosity, just examine
these figures:-

The 0uandary in which the District Camp
meeting Association Is Placed

The Quandary In Which the District Camp
meeting Association Is Placed
There was meeting Of the District
Campmeeting Association yesterday
afternoon at the Office OF Squire Phillips
on Twelfth street.
The object of the meeting was to map
out plans for next season. The camp
meetings at the Moundsville camp
grounds have not been so successful OF
late owing to the fact, as some OF the
members think, to the lack OF train
Accommodations, and more especially the
discontiuance Of the Sunday trains,
The basis of the discussion during
the meeting was, whether To run or not
to run Sunday trains to the grounds,
and after long argument it was sub
mitted to special committee to inyesti-
gate and report back to the Association.
1t seems that at the last meeting OF
the Methodists In this State, resolu-
ton was adopted forbidding
any of the pastors from taxing
part in any camp-meeting where Sun
day trains are run. This does not mean
that they would not only refuse to take
part on Sunday, but on all secular days
as well, consequently the association
would be obliged to send out OF the
State for speakers. The amount OF the
indebtedness OF the association is about
Sc, 900.

the line moved south to lower Benwood,
and a shower Of rockets and candles,
aud continued blaze OF red fire.
Nearly every Democratic residence
was decorated with flags and bdnting,
and the ladies were out In force to
cheer the procession.
A platform was erected on the lot ad-
joining Deegan's grocery, and seats
were arranged in front. The audience
was two thousand people, and was COM
posed Of miners and mill workers prin-
cipaliy, who listened with close atten-
ton to the address of the speaker, and
frequently applauded his remarks.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Thomas 2. Deegan, Of the
Marshall County Executive Committee,
who named Mayor Jos. Mahood as chair
man Of the meeting, aud Mayor Mahood
made brief address returning thanks
for the honor, aud then introduced Gen.
Watts.
Gen. Watts spoke over an hour, and
although the air was damp and cold, the
audience remained until he finished.
He discussed the labor question in his
characteristic thorough and vigorous
manner. en- his way back to Wheeling
Gen. Watts was stopped by Repabli-
can, who informed him that he had be-
come convinced that the Democratic
party best serves the interest Of the Ia
borer, and he intended TO vote the Dem
OCratic ticket.

Mr.. ELKINs HERE.

The Republican Secretary of War Drops
Into town, Talks With the Leaders and
Makes speech.
Secretary Of War Stephen B. Elkins,
who really runs the campaign here in
West Virginia, for his party, dropped
into town yesterday about half-past one
o'clock, accompanied by Mrs. Elkins
and their daughter, and took rooms at
the Mcclure. The visit was a very
quiet one, and few people, outside Of
the Republican leaders ana the report
ers, knew that the member OF the Cab
met was here. Mr.. Elkins took dinner
about two o'clock, and later went out
driving, while the word was passed
around to the leaders that he was In the
city. In the evening he was
taken in charge by Postmaster Cowden,
Committeeman Hall, and several other
prominent Republicans and was steered
into the Republican headquarters in
the Lutz building, where several dozen
of the faithful had been hurriedly as
sembled. There the Secretary was in
vited to make an address, and did so,
talking for about forty minutes in d
general sort of way, giving those pres
ent some political advice in fatherly
manner, cOmplimenting the Republl-
cans on their organization, etc. The
talk was rather Of an informal and i'm
promptu nature, aud did not contain
any glittering arguments. As soon as
Mr.. Elkins could make his escape, he
went TO the theatre, and later sought
the seclusion Of his room. A reporter
for the REGISTER made an effort to see
him, but it was unsuccessful.
What is Mr.. Elkins doing here ?"
was asked Of a Republican who had
talked with the Secretary.
"Well, was the reply, she just drop
ped off here to wait for some telegraphic
information. He's on his way some
where and had TO stop here TO receive
information from the National Commit
tee. No, l don't know where he's 60
ing. 1 don't think his visit has any par
ticular political significance.
Other people had a contrary opinion,
however, and there is a surmse that
Mr.. Elkins did not come to Wheeling
for nothing; but that, on the contrary,
some weighty political questions are to
be considered before his departure from
Wheeling. Mr. Elkins hardly ever
makes trip to Wheeling just to take a
drive and go 20 the theatre.
Candidate for Governor Thomas Il.
Davis and Hon. G.. w. Atkinson came in
together on the midnight train. There
will be a roundup Of Republicans to-
day.

One Of the prominent numbers on the

the same thing, but was immensely dis
gusted to hear the German citizen say
the Democratic nominee for Sheriff was
going to get his vote, and was going to
be elected, too. The Republican thought
no one on the car knew him, but he
was mistaken, and yesterday he was
pleading that person who was In the

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A BenwOod Man Injured by Fall of
Soapstone.

Soa pstone.
Louis Warner, a stonemason, employ
ed at Duggan's quarry at Benwood,
met with a serious accident about ten
o'clock yesterday morning.
Warner was at work in tunnel
made by the blasting, when he was
struck on the head by heavy piece Of
soapstone, which fell from the roof. The
stone cut an ugly cash across the top
Of his head, laying open the flesh in a
shocking manner. The index finger of
his right hand was also badly crushed.
The unfortunate man was carried to his
home in Benwood, and DR.. Mcdonald
summoned. The physician dressed the
wound on his head, but found it neces-
sary to amputate his finger.
