HBRB IN WHEELING,
THE PIrFSBURG GANG OF ROBBERS AND
MURDgRERS SENTENCED.
Thew Say Collier, the Missing Member Of the
Crowd, is in This Oiy-Ths
Sentences.

In Judge Ewing's Court at Pittsburg'
Yesterday, j. Burt Davidson, one oil
two men sentenced for robbinE the
railroad stations at lakewood, Wild
wood, Ingram and Rsdbank, and VINO
are suspected Of numbering Farraster'
one Of the gang, created good deal OF
interest by saying Collier, the missing
member of the party, was in this city
The following telegram tells OF the
scene In Court:
PITTsBURG, PA. December gov
D. Jones aud j. Burt Davidson, the two
desperadoes who plead guilty to tue
station robberiss st WILDWOOD Iule'
wood, Ingram and Redbank, were
brought up for sentence to-day. Jones
got nine years and six months, ana d.
wilson ten years and six months.
They are suspected OF having muir
dered their pal, FarreSter, whose mutt
lated remains were recently found In
the Monongahea river, but as yet there
Is not enough evidence against them 10
submit TO the grand jury and ask Tor an
Indictment for homicide.
The anxiety of the men to Do SEN
fenced to the penitentiary has been TAX
en- as an evidence of guilt. The detect
ives are still at work on the case, ana
are confident that they will, In snort
time. be able to show that the men car
RED the bleeding body Of Farrester
from the railroad track and cast II into
the river while he was still alive.
In sentencing them to-day Judge
Ewing asked Jones where Collier, the
missing member OF the gang, was, but
Jones would only say he mad gone
South. The Judge said:
al take no stock in that answer, the
South is big region.
II only know be went South last sat
urday." was all Jones would divulge'
Davidson, the better looking, more
aimiabe and less desperate OF the pals,
gave his pal away, and told the Judge
that Collier had gone to Wheeling.
II took considerable questioning,
however, before he would make this al
mission, and each answer was dragged
reluctantly from him. AS the inquiry
in the death of the other robber, Far
raster, still proceeds, both on tho part
OF the Coroner and the county authori-
ties, it is likely that intorma-
ton and a description OF Collier
will be sent to Wheeling. The maxi
mum penalty for each offense was ten
years, and as Judge Ewing sentenced
them he said:
'Instead OF forty years." ETC., to
Jones, "instead of thirty years" to
Davidson, he said he would be lenieni
on account OF their ages, an make it ten.
Enquiry at police headquarters, last
night, showed that the Plttsburg police
had not yet communicated with the
Wheeling force, and nothing was
known of the thief in this city. A de-
scription may be sent on to-day.

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1893-12-21

Schmubach, of the B. P. W., said last
evening that the members of the Board
had conferred Informally, and that
meeting would be held this evening TO
take some definite steps. The hrst
thing, and about the only thing the
Board could do. in Mr.. Schmulbach's
opinion, would be to put big street
force to work. and this will likely be
promptly ordered.
Mr.. Jones, OF the Water Board, said
some pipe had been ordered, and when
it arrived, IN a week or so, the Board
would likely have some work to do.
The Gas Board hasn't been called, as
far as could be learned last night. but
President Dunlevy is quoted as saying
that "the Board would probably meet
in a day or TWO"
The fact lie, that the members OF the
three Boards do not appear to be much
in love with the ideas OF Council, being
reluctant to spend the twenty-five hun
dred dollars ordered, thinking or know
ing that the money will be deducted
from the regular appropriations to the
Board for 1894 As long as the Boards
seemed likely to get outside money,
from the county, the thing was ell right,
but when it comes TO touching the Sums
to be allotted to the three Boards for
1894, there IS something akin to an OBJ
lection.

DISTRIBUTING COAL.
Forty-five Applications Yesterday. TWEEN
ty-five of Them Being Filled.

Forty-five Applications Yesterday. Twen-
ty-dve of Them Being Filled.
Early yesterday morning applications
from persons in need OF coal began to be
received at Mayor CaldwelPs place Of
business, on Market street, and they
came in so quickly that the regular
business had 20 be suspended for the
day, and all hands put to work taking
care OF the applicants, listing them,
and filing the orders. The call Ia the
marning papers for volunteer team
sters to haul free coal met with
p willing response, the follow
ing owners Of teams placing horses
and wagons at the disposal Of the
Mayor: j. w. McCracken, r. L..
Wright, VIM. Carney, Robert Teasdale,
Richard Mooney, Joseph Feay, John
Coffee, Wheeling Ice and Storage Com
panv, Joseph Coffee, G. P. Walter, Q,
C. McClyment, and K. II. ID. Willis,
manager Monongah Coal and Coke Com
pany.
Applicants for coal were required to
bring certificate OF need from men,
Der Of Council or some well known citi-
zen. and as soon as this was furnished
an order was issued for the coal, one OF
the teams was loaded up, and the order
filed at once. Up to last night twenty
five loads of twenty-five bushels each
had been delivered to as many deserving
people, and there was at least warmth in
twepty-fve destitute homes last night,
rs a result. All the forty-fve appi-
cations would have been filed had not
the supply of coal available on the side
track been exhausted. This morning,
however, additional cars OF coal will be
hauled into position, and it Is expected
ali applications will be filled promptly
to-day and thereafter, as long as the
five thousand bushels now on hand lasts.
There were some pathetic sights at
the MAYORS office aud az the City Hall,
about this coal distribution, many OF
those receiving assurance that their
wants I'm this egard would be filed,
no, knowing how TO adequately express
their thanks. One workingman made
an. application at the City Hail, stating
that he had had but two days work in
nine weeks, and hadn'ta pound Of coal.
He was told he should have some forth
with, and although he started straight
home, there was a load OF coal there
when be arrived. At one time there
were fully thirtY-fve men in search OF
either work or relief at the Mayors
Mace of business, and he had easy q
couple Of hundred callers In all during
the day.

WHAT Is NEEDED.
Some Suggestions for Those Inclined to
Contribute TO the Committee.

Some Suggestions for Those Inclined to
Contribute TO the Committee.
In the matter Of giving, money is, OF
course, about the best thing, as it can
be applied to supply the miscellaneous
wants of those in distress to good ad-
vantage.
But if you can't contribute cash, the
following things will come in very
handy, and will be used 10 the best ad-
vantage:-
Shoes, especially shoes for children.
There were seven or eight calls for
shoes yesterday, but there were none on
hand as yet.
Clothing for men, women and chill
dren, and stout shoes for men, who are
anxious to work out Of doors, possibly
in snow or rain, are also needed.
Potatoes, hominy, cornmeal, sugar,
salt, coffee, -four, lard, bacon or hams,
oil, soap, brooms, and staples Of like
nature are the things the Committee
can use in large quantities, and will be
the most acceptable. Donations OF food
or clothes should be sent, at least for
the present, to the care Of the Mayor,
but 1t was proposed yesterday that
some place designated in each ward for
the receipt Of donations, which will be
hauled to the general headquarters in
bulk. 1t was also proposed to distrib-
ute sacks, like those used by the man
ayers Of the Children's Home, through
out the city, for family contributions.
This will probably be one of the mat
tiers taken up by the General Committee
tonight.

Applicants for city work, under the
action OF Council Tuesday night were
very numerous al the City Hall yester-

Chief McNichOl said during the after
noon that he thought he had two hun
dred callers, and as about twenty came
I'm during one hour in the afternoon,
either going to the police Office or up
stairs TO the Office Of the B. z. W., this
estimate seemed TO be q reasonable one.
The applicants showed by their personal
appearance that work or relief OF some
other nature, was sOrsly needed, and
there was general disappointment when
informed that the Boards had not as yet
taken any action, and that the registry
book had not been opened. Assistant
City Clerk Sweeney prepared blank
form. and ruled OF blank book during
the afternoon, and this morning all who
apply FOR work will be listed, and these
