Tho General Engineering Company, OF
Harvey, LatO of Wheeling.
The intelligence that the General En-
cheering company, of Harvey, which
has but moved from Wheeling to Har-
vey, suburb Of Chicago, had gone into
the hands OF receiver became general
in Wheeling only on Saturday, although
tho Chicago Tribune Of Thursday
printed the following:
"Maria L. Sweeney, Of Wheeling, W.
Va, fled creditors bill yesterday in
the circuit court against the General
Engineering company for S12,62O 50.
On petition of the complainant the
American Trust and Savings bank was
appointed receiver Of the.atfairs Of the
company"
The General Engineering company
succeeded to the business Of A, j.
Sweeney & Son. It was incorporated
for that purpose by Secretary Of State
Ohley, August 8, 1902, the incorporators
having been William +. Lindsey, Chns.
M. Oliver, A. ]. Sweeney, John NJ.
Sweeney, John B. Garden and A. 7.
Sweeney. The firm made a deal some
time ago to remove to Staunton, Va,
and began work on its factory there.
but tho town went back on its contract
and the company then made deal to
move to Harvey, and the last Of its
equipment was sent there only last
month. Previous TO this application,
it is understood, thecompany confessed
judgment for $4,000, Of which 5000 is
believed to have been to protect an
equal sum borrowed from Mrs. A. j.
Sweeney, short time ago. The claims
Of the Judgment creditors aggregate
a considerable amount, rumor placing
the aggregate at $4,000.
None OF the Wheeling banks lose a
cent by the failure OF the concern. The
Exchange bank held some paper, but
this claim is amply protected by mort
cages.
Last Wednesday Murray Bros. en-
tered suit in Squire Caldwell's court on
a claim ofabouE $500, and the company's
property left in Wheeling was at-
tachod.
The trouble is assigned to the failure
to float largo sum in bonds Of tho
company, and this failure is charged to
the recent and present financial sIrin-
genGy in tho west.

this community, two bathsrs being
drowned. One was Wheeling young
man named Storey, member Of the
Golden Rod fishing club, OF the South
Side, which went up the river yesterday
and found a camping place not far from
East Liverpool. They were inaugurat-

OF beer, but whether Storey was under
its influence could not be learned.
He fell from the boat into the river,
and before any OF his companions could
reach him to help him, he had sunk
the last time.
Efforts were at once begun to recover
the body, but up to a late hour last
night they had not been successful.
Word of the accident was telephonod
to the INTELLBdENcER, but inquiry here
failed to produce any farther informa-
tion as to Storey than he was twenty
three or twenty.four years old, single,

New YoRK, June ls,-Thomas Lawlor
is a policeman attached to the stagg
street station in Williamsburg. He is
very tall, good looking, and has a
sweeping mustache, the ends OF which
are constantly kept twisted. About two
months ago he noticed a young and
pretty brunette trying to tlirt with him
while he was on his post He paid no
attention to her. A few days later he
received q letter written in German
from the woman, II was full Of low
ing expressions, and begged Lawlor to
speak to her the next time he saw her.
Lawlor cast the letter aside after it
had been translated. He saw the wo-
man again week later, but did not
speak to her. Three weeks ago he re-
ceived large box filled with choice
roses. The box came through the mail,
and was addressed: ITO the handsome
policeman who is on tho post at Malzi's
drug store-eOrner, at Graham avenue
and Meserole street."
A letter was in the box. It was neatly
written in German. The writer said
she loved the gentleman, and that one
word from. him would make her the
happiest woman on earth. Two days
later Lawlor received another box Of
flowers and also a letter, in which the
writer signed herself "Pepina." She
wrote that she had at last discovered tho
policeman's name and asked II it was
not "Lawlor"
10 mono Of these letters did Lawlor
reply. To-day he received a long letter
from the woman, In which she gave her
name tor the first time. The letter con-
cluded as follows:
Lam anxious to know whether you
received my letter. Is your name really
LawlorP The letters are meant for
you; for me there is only one, and you
are the one. In civilian dress you look
even moro handsome than in uniform.
A derby hat looks better on you than
your gray helmet But in spite OF the
helmet, you are too handsome, and you
know only too well how handsome you
look. If possible, shall return to
America next summer with my younger
sister, Selma, who IS now seventeen
years old, aud still under the care of q
Governess And now, farewell, Be
happy. May happiness be yours, and
may your life be a path Of roses, That
is the sincere wish, wish from the in
nermost receeses OF a loving heart, Of
'yours, yes yours, forever
"PEPENA Won sALFELD."
Lawlor was informed that the woman
lived at Graham avenue and Schaler
street, and that she is the daughter OF u
prominent and wealthy resident Of vi

The possession OF this island has
been in dispute for the last century,

The island ii not so valuable in time OF
