Help TIE POOR.

tI,isa common remark that Wheeling
has out few cases Of absolute poverty,
but the coming winter, with many peo-
pie out Of employment, will doubtless
add largely TO the list Of those who will
be- compelled to eat the bread Of charity.
1t will be the duty Of those who are
able to render assistance to the worthy
poor, and the best way to do this is
through the agency of the organized
charities Of the city.
For more than a decade Wheeling has
had an organization known as the Wo-
mans Union Benevolent Society, COM
posed Of representatives, Of all the
Protestant churches, which has done
and is SUN doing noble work in re-
lieving the wants OF the poor.
This Organization has done its work
quietly and unausteutatiousiy but eifec-
lively, aud without the red tape meth
DDS that so frequently minimize the
good Of such organizations. 1t has a
chairman for each ward Of the city who
dispenses groceries, dry goods, shoes, etc,
to an applicants known to be in need,
exercising, Of course, the precaution
necessary to preventimposition. II the
books Of this society could be seen by
the public there would be much surprise
at the great good it has done, aud
that, too, without taxing the public
With frequent appeals for help.
The funds Of this society are now az
a low point, by reason Of unusual de-
mands, and the coming winter will find
it unable to continue its good work as
it should be done, unless it receives as
sistance. 1t is therefore proper to urge
upon the citizens Of Wheeling the duty
of giving all possible aid to these char
table ladies in the way Of donations Of
money or clothing. 1t would be a shame
to allow such an organization to he
hampered in its work. for lack Of
means.

ThnInnacY Hearing.

Justice GilIeSpy conducted the ex-
animation OF George Hoehle at the jail
Office yesterday afternoon. The only
witnesses who testified were Lieut..
Terrell, Chief McNichol and Officer
Moran. Their testimony related only
TO the receipt OF the threatening letters
and the subsequent arrest OF Hoehle.
HoehIe frequently interrupted pro-
ceedings to answer questions asked wit
ness by the Justice, and showed conclu-
sivelv that he is "off," although he be-
haved we'll aud gave the jail officials no
trouble.
He explained that the "sword" men
toned in the letter to DR.. Swope was q
christian sword" In explanation Of
the letter threatening the life of Officer
Moran, he stated that he was angry be-
cause the officer had ordered him TO
move on, when be was attending
TO his own business and molestlng
nobody. Hoehle imagines that he has
infallibIe power as healer OF physical
ills, and he expresses sympathy for
those who do not know as much as ne.
lie also dwellS on religious topics.
These have been his hobbies" for five
or six years, and he has generally been
regarded as mild and harmless lunatic.

There is much OF worrlment
on the part Of Republicans in this
neighborhood TO establish the iden-
tity Of one WORTHY LLEwELLEN
EvANs, whose interview upon the
industrial situation at Etnaville
was recently published IN the Rec
IsTER, and having failed, they con-
tent themselves with brushing the
whole matter aside with the assertion
that what Mr.. EVANS said is not
true. If he had stated a fiimsy false
hood our Republican friends would not
have been in the least perturbed.
It's the truth that hurts, and whether
Mr.. LLEwELLEN EVANS be myth or
an actually, everyone acquainted with
the condition of the iron industry
knows that what was stated In the in
terview was the unvarnished truth.
The facts therein contained are yet
ranking in Republican breasts, and
only yesterday the bosses mustered up
sufficient hardlhood to deny the whole
matter, although the interview APP
peared over a week ago. "a little
leaven leaveneth the whole lump"
and Mr.. LLEwELLEN EVANS truthful
statements bid fair TO do a great deal OF
good for some time to come.
The interview appeared first in the
Pittsburg Post, and the REGISTER was
compelled 70 take il secondhand. II
Mr.. LEwELLEN EVANS has any more
ammunition Of that kind we trust he
will fire it of through the REGISTER,
whose columns are hereby cheerfully
rendered him for that purpose.
When fake story is seat out from
this city, the public have Justly ac-
CURED the habit Of locating its source
at the Iutelligcnccr afce. This is un-
fortunate for our neigbbor, but it can
never rid itself Of its Munchausen

The Tnmahawk Case.

Virginia Robinson, the colored
woman who tomahawked DR.. Stlllyard
Tuesday afternoon, was given pre-
liminary hearing by Justice Gillespy
yesterday, on a charge of assaulting
with intent to kill, and was remanded
to jail in default of $1,000 bail.
DIR. Stillyard was suffering from the
wound on MS head, and was unable to
leave his Office. The hearing was
therefore conducted at his home. DR..
Stillyard's story OF the assault, as given
in his testimony, did not differ materi-
ally from that published In the REGIS
TER yesterday. The colored woman ad-
mitted that she struck the doctor with
the Ratchet She remembered also
that she secured the Ratchet at the
house of a colored woman at the East
End and carried 1t under her arm, as
she had been on one occasion knocked
down and robbed by Blackberry"
Dixon. II she had met Blackberry, ="
he would probably have received a blow
from the hatchet.
1t appears that Virginia takes fits, J"
and she "took" one Immediately after
the episode at DR.. Hillyard's Office, fall
ing PROSTATE upon the pavement. This
accounts for her failure to remember
anything subsequent to the assault,
She told the Doctor that a woman in
Bellaire said she was poisoned, and his
medicine was responsible. She was get
ting even with him when she struck
him with the Ratchet, and but for the
fact that it left the handle the well
directed blow would have fallen with
more force and might have proved fatal.
Virginia could not secure bond for
81 900, and she was taken to jail.

FAIEMoNT, W. VA, November L.
Shortly after noon to-day reports
reached here that the town Of Monon-
gah, four miles from here, on the
Monongahela River Railroad, was burn
ing and could not be saved. This
proved to be exaggerated.
The fire was checked after it had de-
stroyed twenty-five miners cottages.
At one time ii was thought that the
whole town would surely go, as the
fire was In the extreme western partsOf
town and the wind was blowing hard
from that direction.
kilograms were sent here for help,
and the Mountain City Hose Company
No. l, responded, together with several
hundred citizens, but their services
were not required very long.
The fire started In one Of the cot
tages at room and spread rapidly until
two rows of adjoining houses were
burned.
The houses belonged to the Monongah
Coal company and were almost new.
The loss will be about So, 900 or SO, 600
to the company. Several of the occu-
pants lost all they possessed and the
goods saved from other houses were
scattered about the streets.
1t was reported that two children
had persisted in the fire, but this report
was not true.
A special train OF four coal cars and
an engine carried the people from here
and thirty or more drove up.

4 SERIOUS CHARGE
BROUGHT AGAINST A wELL-KEOwN SALOON
KEEPER YESTERDAY.
Virginia Robinson Held to C0urt-Hsaring in the
HOshle Lanacy Cass-Oihsr Justice Shop
and Police Matters

James Rowan. proprietor OF the NH
waukee saloon, was arrested yesterday
on a charge of robbing man OF several
hundred dollars, and is out on ball,
owaitlng hearing.
The case, so far as the facts can be
ascertained. is peculiar one. 1t ap-
pears that man named c. B. Carothers,
whose home is in Hancock county, and
who works at the Sistersville oil field,
came to Wheeling with several friends
on Tuesday, and drank considerable
during the day. Some time during the
early evening. with two companions,
Carothers drifted into the Milwaukee.
They took supper in the Cafe, and Ca
rothers rendered 500 bill in payment
for the three suppers, receiving $500
in change, according to the waiter girl.
Carothers then fell asleep, and a little
later left the place.
Where he went from Rowan's place
is uncertain. According TO his own
story Carothers walked to the Hotel
Windsor and went to bed, knowing that
be had been robbed OF 1925 In bills,
which he had on bis person. Early in
the morning he avoke, left the hotel,
and appeared at police headquarters a
little later, with story that he had
been robbed by the proprietor OF the
saloon.
Lieutenant Gaus secured Rowan, and
later in the day he furnished bond in
the sum of 1000 for his appearance
for q hearing, Corothers claiming to
recognize him as the man who robbed
him and swearing out a warrant Tor
him before Justice Gillespy. Carothers'
stories told at different times, do not
agree with each other. He claims to
have been drugged and to have known
that Rowan was robblng him, but to
have been powerless to resist or make
an cutlery.
The waiter girl at the Milwaukee
restaurant states that the change for
the $50 bill was taken by one of Caroth-
ers' companions and placed in his pocket.
At the Hotel Windsor it was stated that
no person OF this name registered from
SStersville.
In justice to Mr.. Rowan, it may be
stated that he protests his Innocence,
and is indignant at the accusation. His
friends are confident that he will be able
to prove himself innocent, and they
assert that his accuser will not appear
at the hearing, as there Is no evidence
to fasten the guilt upon Mr.. Rowan,
assuming that Carothers actually lost
the money, which they say is very i'm
probable, In view Of his peculiar con-
duct. Mr.. Rowan's attorney will
go down to Sistersville to-day to
learn something about COrothers, and
some interesting developments may be
expected in the case.
At midnight Noah Zane. who was on
Rowan's bond, surrendered the prisoner
to the authorities, and he was arrested
and placed in jail.

ACrsnk Burning Churches.

HAvERHIL, MASS, October al
Three more attempts at church burn
ing were made last night. all the
churches in the city are now guarded
BY special watchmen. Last evening
youth named McCloskey discovered a
olaze in a pile of laths between the
Winter street church and 4 shed. The
flames were extinguished. An hour
later the choir of the Center church
notified the police that when they
came out from rehearsal the corridor
was found to be on fire. At 8 o'clock
report was brought to City
Marshal Dole that an attempt
had been made to burn the Unitarian
Church. The incendiary piled up
cushions aud mattresses and set them
on fire. The blaze was discovered in
time to be extinguiShed without much
damage. This is the second time the
Winter street church has been set on
fire within three days. The cushions
OF the church were piled up in the rear
and set on FIRE last Sunday evening. A
similar attempt was made last evening
on Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal
Church. The police believe the fire
bug to be crank.
