b1csled down to the appropriations.
They started in with cemeteries to which
they awarded S1,3JO.OO, following with
civ Prison az a, 300 The Contingent
Fund was fixed az $4,000
Upon reaching the fire department
there was considerable OF discussion.
The Committee on Fire Department
asked for the sum of S39, GOO 81. This in
Guided TWO new engines atS4 600 each.
Chairman Pollock was of the opinion that
these would hardly be necessary after
the new reservoir was so arranged that
water could be gotten into the upper
basin, as the pressure all over the city
would be sufficient 70 reach the tops of
any building. A lively discussion fol-
lowed, during which Councilman Bailey
stated that he believed the two new
engines were OF great necessity, as he
had had a long talk with the Chief Of
the Fire Department in Pittsburg, and
had the situation fully explained. In
a.. large cities they cannot get engines
enough, showing the impractical
ity OF relying on the hydrauts
alone lOF luEulNuluk water IN
volume and force. There is not over a
65-pound pressure here in Wheeling az
the present, and with the water in the
upper basin of the reservoir, / don't
look for over a 15-pound pressure. And
then look at the engines we have, old
and out of repair The last engine that
Wheeling purchased was in 1SS4, while
the Atlantic was bought In 1854 The
matter OF two new engines finally pre-
vailed, but in the the subsequent
scaling by the committee, the amount
was cut down TO the extent of one en-
CINE, making the appropriations finally
stand 40 S34, 7S2.s7 The Health De-
partment was first granted Sl3, 200 with
the idea of new crematory in view,
but later this project was abolished and
the sum cut down TO So, 900. Apart from
a short discussion in the matter Of mar
kst appropriation the remainder of the
appropriate, were made up rapidly.
The appropriations So far as made up
are as follows

sented DIR. A +. Gasmire with /. large and
solid piece of the ''pay sand' taken from
the Greeley and Forest well, lat Mobiles
town, Pa, at a depth OF ,, 100 feet. To a
reporter for the REGISTER Mr.. STOREY said !:
This well the largest in tbs Mcdonald

Gasmire is a hard conglom5rate, ABOUT
216x2xl inch in dimensions, and is COM
posed of clean stones, from the size OF
bird shot up 10 the size OF small peas,
cemented tightly together. All sorts OF
rock-hint, quart, granite, sand stone, etc,
are represented, and the sand IS beyond all
question the debris laid down by running
water in past ages OF the earth. To the
eve it seems impossible that such forma-
ton could contain such enormous volumes
of gas and oil-yet we know the truth ao-
solutely. This particular specimen was
obtained from the well after shot had
been fired in it, the fragment lodging on
top of the bailer, and being thus brought
to the surface. / have one other extraor-

TO-DAYS PRIMARIES.
THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS TO SELECT TWO SETS
OF DELEGATES.
One for the District Convention TO Select National
Delegates, ana the Other TO Go to the
State Convention TO Choose
State officers

This afternoon the Democratic voters
of Ohio county will vote, in their re-
spective districts, and at the old polling
places, except in Clay, where the polls
! will be at No. 1916 Chapline street, and
in Union at Police Court room,
for the selection of delegates to
the State Convention to nominate a
| State ticket, which Convention is to
meet at Parkersburg July eth, and also
delegates to the First District Conven-
ton to select two District delegates,
two District alternates, and one dele
gate-at-large, and one alternate
at-large, to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, June LIST. The polls
will open at noon, and the voting will
be at the old voting places, but will be
carried on under the new election law
applying to primary elections.
1t is important that there be a full
vote of the party, and every Demo-
cratic voter ought to make it an es-
pecial point to go to the polls and cast
| his vote for each set of delegates.
The Democratic Primary to-day will
be held under an act OF the Legislature
passed on the 5th day OF March 1891, re-
lating to the
HOLDING PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
Here is the substance OF the law:
whoever is not known, recognized,
therefore openly declared member of a
party who is not included in the terms
| Of the calandar which any such election
is held, whoever shall vote or attempt
to vote at any primary election shall be
guilty Of a misdemeanor and shall be
punished by fine Of not more than one
hundred dollars or by imprisonment in
the county Jail for more than three
months or in the discretion OF the Court
by both fine and Imprisonment.
Therefore persons not Democrats
should govern themselves accordingly;
otherwise they are very likely TO get
into trouble, as opposing candidates are
determined that only those authorized
by law to vote shall do so. Republicans
should be on their guard and keep away
from the polls aud thus keep out OF
trouble.

APPROPRIATIONS.

The total amount of the aDprOprja-
tons, after scaling down all the depart
WeutS So far as they believed would
warrant, amounts 20 1891, 551.S6. This
being So near the receipts,
the next question arose, how shall we
keep pace with the appropriation.
After carefully scanning over the list Of
estimated receipts the members came 70
tue conclusion that the revenues from
rea, aud personal taxes would rise up
amazingly beyond the estimated figures.
To was SS6,OOO,OO in the list, and il was
then increased TO $4,000. One OF
the members was OF the opinion that
this could be still further increased, as
the value OF real estate had enhanced
greatly during the year, and many large
buildings had been constructed i'm vari-
GUS parts of the city. He thought the
receipts from taxes would not be far
from $3.50, 600. By increasing the tax
receipts 20 $4,000, the ten cent levy
arose correspOndingly 20 something like
$4,000, making the final total Of the
estimated revenue, SIS, 1879. In view
OF the many things needed this year,
this sum was deemed insufficient, and IL
was moved that the estimated receipts
oe increased 20 S452, 900, the additional
sum 20 be appOrtioned among the differ
ent apartments as the committee saw it.
The motion prevailed. Here the mem
oerS Of the committee rested FROM
their .abors.
The committee adjourned at II
o'clock last night TO meet again on
Monday evening 70 resume operations.

A rather curious case OF civil rights
came up in the court room few days
ago II did not come before the judges,
but u was enacted before them without
their knowledge.
To make the story well understood It
will be we'll to explain the appointments
Of the court room. In front OF you as
You enter the room you see the bench
that holy Of HOLES. The bench is at
the extreme end Of the room, and in
front OF the bench Is the rail All be-

On the right hsnd side Of the bar en-
closure are the chairs for the jury panel.
To the left Is the jury box and the re
Dorter's table
Now 20 the place where the scene was
enacted. all outside the railing Is not,
AS Is generally supposed, for spectators.
The chairs are divided into three classes
by wooden rails Five chairs Of each
row on the north side are for witnesses
FIVE chairs Of each row on the south side
are for negroes, while the ZIG chairs be
tween these Two rows are for white
spectators,
This distinction OF color is the result Of
certain oolored men applying to Chief
Justice Comeeys, ssklng him to set apart
certain seats Ia which the colored vlsi
tors could feel a. perfect liberty and
ease The seats usually occupied By
colored visitors to the Court House are
found In the prisoners dock, but oc-
caslonally q few solored men drop In who
are not ehaperoned by Sheriff Sin mons.
