Ever Known in tho City of Wheeling.
-Four Miles Long.
The management OF the big parade,
which as it happened was the overflow
ering feature OF the day, was the most
competent on record. For promptness
OF start, sm~oothness OF procedure and
everything which contributes to the
success of such an affair, it could not
well be surpassed. This, too, although
the procession was the most monster
one OF the sort ever organized. 1t was
so large as to be %unwieldy, but Chief
Marshal Miller and his able staff OF
assistants shaped things up well, econ.
omized street space, and q quarter OF
an hour after the time announced Tor
the start the long column was moving
up Market street.
1t was difficult 10 form a correct esti-
mate Of the number Of people in line,
as many dropped out from time to time.
Owing to its immense length, also, many
Of the trades displays did not enter the
line at all. The estimate that there
were 1000 in all in the parade is, how
ever, probably very nearly correct, The
line required an hour and three-quar-
tiers to pass a given point, and when the
head reached Sixteenth street on its re-
turn from Thirty-first the tail OF the
line was not yet in motion, SO that the

THE SCHOOL EXERCISES.

Interesting Programmes Rendered In all
tho District schools in the Forenoon.
All OF the public schools held eIabo-
rate exercises yesterday morning be-
tween the hours Of nine and twelve, in
accordance with the official programme
issued by Francis Bellamy, chairman OF
the executive committee appointed by
the American superintendent OF Edu-
cation. Every building was %profusely
decorated for the occasion, and thous-
ands OF delighted parents and friends OF
the enthusiastic and happy school chill
dren were present to enjoy the exer-
cises.
The official programme, which is
printed below, was carried out in all
The wards, although some varied it by
i~nterspersing patriotic Rotations and
songs by the pupils and invited guests.
The exercises between the hours OF
III and ten o'clock were carried out in
the school yards or in front OF the
buildings, after which until very near
noon, they we're held in the interior.
The exercises were opened by the
reading OF the Presidents proclamation,
by the master OF ceremonies or an in
vited guest.
At the close of the reading OF the pro-
clamation il was announced: I'm &C.
cordance with this recommendation by
the President oil the United States, and
as a sign of our devotion to u country,
let the flag OF the nation be unfurled
above the school,"
AS the flags were raised they were
greeted with deafenlng cheers by the
pupils and saluted by raising OF their
hands and pledging allegiance to the
flag and the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation indivisible, with liberty
and Justice for ALL" This wa followed
by the song America"
After this n prayer was rendered,
The songs Columbia, Our Land" and
"0ur Fair Land Forever" were sung
with a will by the schools. This was
followed by addresses by the pupils
and invited guests, which closed the
exercises.
At the Washington school Mr.. Alfred
PAUL. read the proclamation, Rev. j. F.
Chenowith, OF the North street NJ. Z.

Beyond all precedence in the history
Of Wheeling, beyond the most roseate
expectations Of the most enthusiastic
Of those engaged, beyond the best efforts
Of many a larger city, tho celebration
by Wheeling OF the four hundredth an.
n,yersary OF the discovery OF America
will pnas into local history US the most
brilliant and impressive event OF the
Kind in dis part OF the Ohio Valley
since civilization claimed IA footing
here. Tho pioneer history of Wheeling,
the memories OF Fort Henry and the
Ianes, the legends that cluster about
the very name OF the town, inspire all
10 enthusiasm in such a cause, and it
was a matter for general congratulatioE
that the day passed Oft SO crcditably and
so satisfactorily.
Fears were very generally entertain
ed that the weather would be bad. In
deed, it did rain in the earliest hours
Of the morning, but this merely served
to lay the dust. The morning opened
rs perfect an Autumn day as was ever
seen in the most favored cline, and the
sky was bright and the air balmy all
the day.
The City was never SO generally and
beautifully decorated before. From
one end 10 the other, not only along
the route Of march, but on hack streets
where nobody but the residents could
see, flags, banners, portraits and bunt-
ing were displayed. The main streets
were each a tiuttering mass Of color.
Arches spanned the streets, streamers
OF flags led from house top to curb line,
masses OF red, white and blue covered
whole fronts OF buildings.
The forenoon was devoted to exer-
cises of IN appropriate character by the
public school children, who carried GU
the programme arranged by the ma
tional committee appointed to devise
one. They entered into it with the
spirit and the understanding.
In the afternoon a parade was given
in which military, civic and secret So
%cieties, schools and business men join
cd, all trying to Guido the others. The
result was the grandest similar display
ever seer in West Virginia.
Last night the brilliant day was bril-
liantly closed with a display OF fire.

III DECORATIONS.

Some ESuecialIy Neat OnoS.

None Elmer wore Ever Soon In Wheeling.
Some Especially NeHt OnOs.
The decorations all over the city yes
terday were finer and more varied than
any eyer displayed in Wheeling. Al
most every house along the route Of
parade was tastefully decorated, and
some Of them were grand. Even on
streets that the parade did not touch
the houses were covered with bunting
and flags.
The central portion of the city never
looked grandcr. On Market street, look
ing north from the creek. the scene was
one that will never be forgotten. The
tri'coIored bunting. flags, ribbons,
pIumes and everything that adds to the
appearance was there. Main streets
business houses we're literally covered,
and each merchant tried to get ahead
OF his neighbor by introducing some
novelty in the way OF decorations.
1t would be impossible to 60 all over
the town and give u list of the citizens
who deserve praise for their tastefully
trimmed residences and il would be idle
TO attempt II. Among the many beau
uiu designs noticed in the principal
portion OF the town were on North
Mainstre the Logan Drug company,

Everybody has at times failed to do
their duty towards themselves. Hun
dreds OF lady readers suffer from sick
headache, nervousness, sleeplessness,
and female troubles. Let them follow
the example OF Mrs. H. Herbechter,
Stevens Point, Wis, who for five years
suffered greatly from Nervous Prostra-
ton and sleeplessness, tried physicians
and different medicines without success.
But one bottle of DR.. Miles Nervine
caused sound sleep every night, and she
is feeling like a new person. Mrs. Eliza
beth Wheeler, Laramie City, Wyoming,
who tried all other remedies, declares
that after three weeks use Of The Ner-
vine for Headache, Nervous Prostra-
ton, ETC., she was entirely relieved.

All the banks were nicely trimmed
and the Fort Henry club topped them
all of. The decoration here was under
the direction OF Mr.. Ed. Franzheim, and
the result OF his efforts was grand, and
Mr.. Franzheim deserves credit.
The Fort Henry Club decorations
we're perhaps at once the most profuse
and most tasteful ever seen in Wheel
ing. This was a matter OF common re-
mark about town, and many people
passed that way especially to see them.

ACCIDENT AND MURDER,
Two Men Elected From Freight Car.
Struck by Train and Killed.
Their Chums Kill Brakeman.

ERIE, June 2o-Five young Erie mould.
ers, Alto Stablein, George Van Alien, Frank
Sapper and two others whose names are
not known at present, spent Saturday in
Buffalo and attempted tn seal ride back
to Erie. AT st. Angola they were put off
the train by Brakeman Lorella Newton.
Within five minutes of the time that Stab
lein and Van Alten were put off the freight
train they were struck by another train and
instantly killed, When sapper and the
other two saw their mansled companions,
they accused Newton as being the cause of
the accident. The trainmen were then at
tackled by the moulders, who used revolvers.
Newton was shot through the chest and
will die. Fireman McGuire was also hit,
but not seriously injured. The assailants
were driven off, Sapper reached Erie to-
day and was arrested tonight. He stoutly
maintains his Ignorance of the affair. He
said that he had been elected from the
train before reaching Angola, but the dying
statement of Van Alien duplicates Sapper.
