These are in addition to those pre-
viously appointed and who did not re-
sign. Other gentlemen whom it is de-
sired to add to the committee wore not
seen yesterday. The committee will
meet at 10 u, M. to-day at the Dollar
Savings bank, and proceed at once to
it's work
Yesterday number OF people volun-
teered expressions Of enthusiastic mp
proyal OF the celebration scheme.
There has been some objection on the
score OF the expenses and trouble OF
getting up big trades display. No
body over suggested n trades display,
Wheeling did 80 we'll in that line on
Columbian day, last year, that she can
afford Tor the present to rest on her
laurels. That was somewhat OF an in
dustral display; this should be, and is
intended to be, patriotic demonstra'
ton.
The idea, 80 far as formulated, is to
have a street parade, with the town gen.
orally and gGily decorated, in the fore
noon, 40 as to be done before the pic
MICS and outdoor entertainments begin.
There might DO brief address and
chorus or two, and yet the entire day
celebration be over by noon. The fire.
works on the hill tops vt night will OF
course be after tho crowds have re-
turned from the piCnics and other gath
eringa on the fair grounds, at the park,
etc.
Mr.. Anton Reymann kindly volun-
toored to supplement fireworks displays
on the top OF Chapline hill and Wheel
ing hill by q display ut his house on the
top of Reymann's hill. The three
would make such q pyrotechnical dis
play as Wheeling never saw before.
A we'll known leading workingman
OF the city, in O talk about the pro-
posed celebration yesterday, said:
~ want TO SEQ u Creditable celebra.
ton, n memorable ono, and know that
nine.tenths of the masses Of the people
DO, TOO. A man in moderate circum-
stances cannot afford TO take a
large family to Chicago to see
tho Worlds fair or to q fashiona-
bic summer resort, and all the stay-at-
homes want something in the city on
the Fourth that their families can en-
Joy and their children remember. It
will DO boon to the working classes to
have some sort OF fete or celebration
hore on that day, md think this is q
phase OF the matter which has not re-
ceived the consideration It is entitled
to. Give the worlsingman a chance"
