EDWIN BooTH is dead, and in his
death the world loses its greatest tragic
actor and the stage its nOblest repre-
sentative.
Both as actor and man EDWIN Booth
commanded admiration and respect.
he not only stood at the head Of his
profession, being recognized everywhere
as the one interpreter OF Shakespeare
who was above criticism, but was
Nso beloved BY every one who had the
gAod fortune 10 win his friendship.
AbSe to stir mems souls to their very
depths and TO portray hnman passions
in their subllmest form, he was, at the
drop OF the curtain, the geuNest and
mildest hammered Of men, kind and
generous to a fault and always consid-
crate Of the humbest about him.
EDWIN BoOTH was a remarkable gen.
ius and a man among ten thousand.
Scarcely any euIogy can fatter his

Little CroOkedness.

Alfred Dimmick, the junk dealer, OF
No. 2406 Chapline street, made dis
covery yesterday that shookhis faith
in two Of his employees, named Mullen
and Holden. Last Thursday Mr.. Dim
mick sent these two men to Mounds
Vile to buy rags and old iron, giving
them SOS. 1t has been found that the
men went there and got drunk on the
money and carried on high rate, on
the profit Of the business they were do
ing. Yesterday Holden borrowed 81
from Mullen and came TO this city.
Mullen said his companion had robbed
him of S12, and had word sent to have
Holden arrested for robbery. Officer
O'Brien arrested the man on the charge.
When Mr.. Dimmick saw just how 1t was,
the men were liberated, he not caring to
make charge against them.

na,sued nrWsr weather.

The present spell Of rainy weather
has considerably delayed operations on
the building OF the new street railway
across the river. Notwithstanding this,
already over five miles of track are
laid, including over a mile Of the Ma
tional pike. The plans for the new
power house were changed, causing the
delay in giving out the contract. Bids
will be again opened to-day, and the
contract surely let the latter part OF
this week. Wheeling people are be-
coming more interested IN the new road,
and are beginning to see how they
think it will benefit Wheeling greatly,
II it comes within the city limits. 1t is
calculated that the new road, when
completed, will pass through a popula-
tion of 80, 900 people, or nearly as large
as Wheeling.

The report comes from Asiatlc Tur-
key that cholera deaths are counted "by
thousands" Rather they are not count
cd at all, for the report Is, the panic
stricken people are fleeing and leaving
their dead unburled, and their sick un-
cared for.
Whole towns and villages are desert
ed. One province alone reports that
10000 people have fed. and these fugi-
tivss are spreading the disease with
lightning rapidly over the whole coun-
try.
From other portions Of Europe deaths
from cholera are reported steadily on the
Increase. and this is true even where
quarantine is enforced, as In France
and Germany.
But where the disease had its begin
Ming, and its strongholds, quarantine is
unknown. and therein lies the danger.
It is fight between unquarantined
Europe and Asia, and q few European
cities where quarantine is enforced.
Il IS an unequal contest, and presents
she question afresh to the United States,
which Is only weeks distance from
European portsN
Summer Is not yet a week old and the
prospect therefore does not encourage
the hope thas the pest viii be less vira-
lent in Europe this year than it vas
last
National quarantine is not to be de-
pended upon absolutely b. aay means.
The best preventive is ca MESS.

NOTES OF THE RIVER.
News of the Boats and Boatmen Along
the Ohio.

News of the Boats and Boatmen Along
the Ohio.
Capt. Robert Agnew, brother OF
Capt. Mace Agnew, OF the Scotia, is now
| in command Of the Hudson. He was
formerly chief clerk on the Scotia.
Capt. Agnew is but &c years OF age,
and is one of the youngest men who
ever assumed command of such an I'M
portant packet. His knowledge OF
steamboating, however, will qualify
him for the place, and his uniform
courtesy will make him very popular
with round-trippers.
The Hudson had more passengers on
her up trip yesterday than she could &C
commodate. The Scotia was in tow
down the river, and many passengers
were accommodated in her state rooms.
The Keystone State passed down yes
terday she had a great many round
trippers from Pittsburg, and several
boarded her here. She also carried
about all the freight she could handle.
The Scotia will probably be out next
Tuesday, losing but one round trip.
Dan Lacy will succeed Bob Agnew as
clerk. Dan is one OF the most efficient
and popular clerks on the Ohio.
The Pittsburg aud Cincinnati packet
line has not yet carried many Worlds
Fair passengers. Many, however, are
taking advantage of the cheap round
trip rates.
The Ben Hur passed down from Pitts
burg yesterday, and the Bedford mp for
Pittsburg, both with good freight and
passenger lists.
The boats scheduled for to-day are
the Ben Hur for Parkersbnrg and the
Lizzie Bay for Charleston.
There was feet inches of water in
the channel last night. Stationary.
The Liberty is bringing in great
many strawberries at present.

Chief Of Police McNIcHoL some
days ago notified the gamblers that
they must cease operations, or be
arrested. Many OF the fancy frater-
nifty evidently regarded this as 1.-THE
same old bluff, aud kept right on. But
Chief McNIcHoL was not blufing as he
proceeded very forcibly to demonstrate
by filling the lookup with proprietors
and operators of gambling establish
ments.
It seems that Monday night the OH
Ger in charge at the police station, In
disobedience Of the Chiefs order not
to accept bail for the gamblers, did &C
cept the fines and costs, as usual, ana
permitted them to go. Chief McNIcHoL
was called up at his home and emphatl-
cally repeated his order that the arrest
ed gamblers be held for trial at police
court in the morning. Then another
batch OF gamblers was brought In, and
in strict obedience to orders the lieuten-
ant in charge resisted all appeals oil
their friends aud would accept no bail.
Now our reform" Mayor appears on
the scene.
At three a. m. yesterday morning the
friends Of the incarcerated gamblers
woke up Mayor CALDWELL and pre-
sented the situation 70 him in such
light as led the Mayor to suppose that
Chief McNIcHoL was prosecuting his
political enemies.
Then came the unprecedented specta-
Gle Of the Mayor OF the City of Wheel
ing marching to the police station and
demanding the release Of the imprisoned
gamblers, in defiance Of the law.
The lieutenant in charge was obdu-
rate even though the Mayor offered to
go security for the gamblers himself!
Failing in this the Mayor and party
marched to the house OF the CITY Solicit
tor and woke up that official, but only
to be convinced that the law was against
them.
But our reform Mayor was deter
mined to have these gamblers out OF
Jail, and decided upon the novel
scheme Of converting court Immediately,
so at six o'clock the gamblers were al
lowed to go with a $50 fine, which at
the regular opening Of the court at 9
o'clock the Mayor reduced to $40.
No wonder the city was aghast yes
terday when the news of the Mayors
early morning lsbors became generally
known. The drift of sentiment was to
the effect that this sample OF reform in
the Mayors Office made the ante
reform" period shine brightly in com
parison.
Mayor CALDWELL can offer no excuse
for his unprecedented act in aiding law
breakers to evade the law. His claim
that he was justified because some of
the prisoners were released earlier in
disobedIence Of orders. on the payment
of the usual fine, is totally Invalid and
unworthy OF the city's chief execu-
tive.

Convention to be held here the 10th.
Goth and 21st Of next month, in the

that the coming convention will be the

will form the programme. A grand

the convention.

work on the "Back" River Bridge.

By reason of the rain there has been
but little work done recently on the
tearing down of the old wooden bridge
preparatory to the erection OF the new
steel bridge over the "Back" river.
Operations will be begun again this
morning, and it is proposed to push
operations very rapidly. The false
work will be raised in preparation for
the steel work Of the main structure.
1t was calculated that by the first OF
next month the bridge would be COM
pleted, but by necessary delays this
cannot be done. The principle cause
OF delay now is that the Wrought Iron
Bridge Company, of Canton. is behind
with it's orders, and cannot get mater
ials for the bridge fast enough. 1t Is
expected, however, that this week sew
eral car loads of steel for the structure
will arrive.
