CHICAGO TO COMMEMORATE HEI
BIG FIRE,


Chicago is making great prepare.
tions to celebrate the anniversary of
her big fire, which will recur the 9th
Of October. The railroads are sup
porting the movement by planning to
paint the entire Northwest a deer red
with Illuminated posters. and expect,
10 throw 100000 to 500 600 strangers
into the White City on that day.
The entire city will be illuminated,
and the work of decoration done last
year, during the opening week of the
Worlds Fair, is to be surpassed.
We who wish we'll to the Giant of
the West, and who cannot hope to
witness the display. must content our
selves with the hope that, while .hr
celebration will be so ample as to b-
strikingly commemorative, no second
Mrs. O'Leary's cow will indulge in
those capers which would give the fin,
ishing, most realistic touch to the oc>
casion.

The INDIA MINIS,
Their Closing Has Not Affected the
Demand for Silver.

The mints in India were closed to
free coinage on June 26, 1898. 1t
was feared that this would seriously
affect the demand for fine silver in
that quarter. 1t is gratifying to
know that these fears have not been
realized. For the six weeks follow
ing the closing of the India mints,
the shipments of silver from Europe
to India, China and the Straits com>
pare as follows with the correspond.
ing period last year:
To China and strai,s.....,. 342 500 sI7.sOO
Total. ...................fl,29 ,29O 200 fl,S55, 200
Referring to these statistics, the
London Statist says: "The con-
sumption of silver does not and will
not abate. The recent fall was due
to the policy Of the Indian Govern
ment, and was not the consequence
of a cessation of the demand" This
will be good news to American silver
producers.

place TO secure the rest which be so
badly needed. He is entered for the
races az Baltimore to-day, and notwith-
standing the fact that the prizes offer
cd aggregate in value about $4,000, he
hac decided to remain In the Nail City
for the last day OF the meet.
Not only will Zimmerman remain to-
day, but all the other cracks who &C
company him, will stay over, and will
participate in all the races to which
they are eligible to-day. This much
would have gladdened the hearts Of our
local bows, but while they were in luck,
thew made a play for the earth, and
succeeded TO capturing a good sized
slice of this mundane sphere.
IL is not often that a champion con-
sents 10 go against his own time in a
city the size of Wheeling. They usu-
ally make the effort where it is certain
that their success will be applauded by
thousands. Yet this is just what Tim
norman has consented TO do. About
the middle OF the afternoon, he will
make an effort 10 lower the worlds rec
ord for one mile. The cracks will ac-
company him in his circuit Of the track,
for the purpose OF setting q pace, aud
Wheeling may enjoy the distinction Of
being the city iu which the worlds
record for q mile was broken.

after the start, but he made plucky
rally and managed to pass two boys be-
fore the finish. The little fellows were
given encouraging cheers by the crowd

TWO MILE HANDICAP.
This was the first handicap race and
some dissatisfaction was manifested oy
the audience at the time lost in placin
the meu at their proper positions
There were eight starters. Zimmerman
did not start, and there were no scratch
men. Sadler maintained his advantage
for q half mile, when Greer closed up
the distance and went to the front. The
pace was too speedy for Sadler, and
he dropped back to the rear before the
race was finished. At the mile the men
were in the following POSITIONS Greer,
Sadler, A. L. Banker, Reigger, Bank
er, French and McCarter. The second
mile was close and interesting as IL
could be. The local riders could not
maintain their speed, aud tha visiting
wheelmen, who were all punched In the
rear, were rapidly closing uD the gap,
and riding apparently easy. The last
half was especially interesting. At the
three-quarter pole they all spurted
magniicently, and finished amid pro-
longed cheering. G. A. Banker came
under the wire first in 4:57s[, Reigger
second, E. C. Johnson third, A. l..
Banker fourth, Hoyland Smith fifth.
Greer and Sadler finished with tatl-end

The local club has offered special
prize 90 Zimmerman for this effort.
In order 70 add interest to the racing
this afternoon, and to insure better
time than was made yesterday, the To-
cal club last night decided 10 offer
special prizes for each heat. There will
be lively competition for these prizes,
and some good time will be made this
afternoon.
1t was with the greatest spprehen-
sion that the wheelmen who were aStlr
early Yesterday morning, witnessed the
luminous looking clouds, and the driz-
cling shower which fell. IL looked very
much like the remarkable good fortune
which the club has met, had at last de-
serted il. and the big State meet was 70
be q failure on account OF the bad con-
duct OF the elements. Old Sol came
TO the rescue, however, and showed his
smiling countenanCe through the
clouds. The day was delightful one,
the rays OF the sun being tempered by
cooling breezes. The big roller had
been at work upon the half mile track
AZ the Fair grounds, and when the first
race was called, the course was In
perfect condition.
The events Of the day were in every
particular successful, and the local
BOYS have causAto congratulate them
selves upon ths\success which is now
assured. This WI be City Day. Mayor
Caldwell has issue a proclamation de-
claring half holis lay, and many bust

Fuller Details OF the Catastrophe In tho
Little Oil Town.

Fuller Details OF the Catastrophe in tho
Little Oil Town.
The REGISTER mentioned yesterdaY
that hall, in which prize fight -
Sistersville was being held, caved In.
Fuller particulars were learned last
evening from one who was in the panic
caused by the collapse OF the structure
and says he would not take any sum OF
money to again go through q similar
experience.
The building was on the old two
story tannery. Four hundred persons
assembled in the upper story TO wit
ness the fight between Wongo and
Tom Frederick. In the second round
the whole building shook and the floor
began 10 sink. At once there was a
panic, people yelling murder
and the like. ABOUT doz-
en- persons jumped through the
windows to escape, and three OF these
persons were badly cut by the glass,
but not seriously. Seven persons from
Wheeling went down with the crash,
none OF whom were hurt.
The lamps exploded, and the whole
crowd was precipitated to the floor be
low. Some OF them being more leve
headed than the rest, got the frightened
people 30 sit nown, else many might
have been killed. A way was found
from the collapsed building. and all
escaped, but the fight was not finished.
Under the first floor OF the structing
were the old tannery pits, and II is said
some Of these are twenty feet deep.
When this was learned, the crowd was
still more glad that they had es-
capped with their lives.

pace which the others cannot reach,
and made excellent time.
ONE MILE HANDICAP.
This was the fastest race OF the day.
"a time was taken with the go yard
handicap, and was given at 2:17. The
local riders who were handicapped, set
fast pace, and compelled the others
to make good time in order to win.
They kept the lead on the first half,
with the tail-enders punched and slowly
crawling to the front. At the three
quarters, the men were all together,
then yellow figure darted out from
the bunch, and showed lead OF three
or four Yards. 1t was French. be
spurted nicely, but the other men were
working steadily. and on the stretch
got down in dead earnest. Tho hnlsn
was exciting, the men coming under the
wire in the following order: q. A.
Banker, Citizens, French, E. c. John
son, Geiger, Greer, Dodd, Banker,
HALF MILE OPEN.
There were but three starters OF the
thirty entries, Zimmerman, Brown and
Smith. The local riders considered 1t
pure folly to 90 In such fast company,
and In fact no person appeared to have
any business In race with Zim Norman.
The start was made with Jimmy" In
the lead, bat Smith spurted at the
quarter and went to the front, Jimmy"
dropping to the rear. Jimmy" knew
his ability, however, and when 1t sp-
peared that the leader had ''lead pipe
cineh" on the race, Jimmy" spurted,
and came down the track at killing
pace, winning by few yards, Brown
second, in 1:1S4. The second quarAr
was made in 30 seconds. The first
quarter was very slow.
TWO MILE HANDICAP.
This event wound UP the racing for
the afternoon. There were no scratch
men, Zimmerman for some reason, not
entering any Of the handicap races.
Greer kept his lead for the first half,
but on account of an injured hand,
dropped out. This left the race to the
other contestants who were punched In
the rear. The leader set very slow
pace, and it was not until the last
eighth that good time was made. There
was pretty squirt on the stretch, and
one of the most exciting finishes OF the
afternoon. The race was won by George
Banker, Citizens second, E. c. Johnson
third, and Bernhardt fourth.

The Opening Feature Did Not Meet Xxx
pectatiOns.
Early in the morning, Wheelmen from
all adjoining and neighboring towns,
and q large delegation faom Pitts6urg,
poured into the city, and the lobby Of
the Mcclure, the general headquarters,
was at all times filled with the cyclers.
The hotel is gally decorated in honor OF
the meet, with flags and bunting.
The parade, which was the first event
upon yesterdays programme, was TO
have started promptly at ten o'clock,
but some delay was occasioned by the
absence OF the band, which had been
sent over the city In special car over
the electric motor line. 1t was eleven
O'Clock before the wheelmen formed at
the City Building for their tour OF the
city. Headed by HacketJ's band, OF
Bellalre, in big four-horse
wagon, the command Of march was
finally given, and the wheelmen, about
one hundred ia number, moved over
the route heretofore published In the
REGISTER. The line was In command
of Chief Marshal A. r. Darragh, OF
Pittsburg, Chief OF Staff w. I. Sadler,
OF this city, and the list OF aides which
has been published.

time, having all they could handle. The
boats were so crowded that the hulls
scraped the bottom OF the river. There
were three thousand three hundred
and sixty-seven paid admis-
sions to the grounds, and at least five
hundred small boys gained admission
by fence" tickets. The grand stand
was comfortably filed when the first
race was called. and the fence was
lined with several hundred people. The
crowd was probably as large as was ex-
pected but not as large as the attrac-
ton deserved. To-day's programme
will be better than that Of yesterday,
aud there should be six or seven tnous-
and people on the grounds.
Every event on the programme yes
terday was full of interest, especially
those In which the local riders partici-
pated. Max Mahlke carried of the
State champ ionship in the quarter mile
race, and was also given the first prize
I'm the mile contest for the State cham
piOnship, although his brother, Henry
Mahlke, came in first. Henry will
probably console himself for the loss Of
the medal, through the decision OF the
Judges, by the reflection that cit is all
i'm the family" Zimmerman, the cham
pion, took everything he went after,
swelling his list Of first prizes for the
season, to ninety. He is simply won
der, and apparently wins the races with
ease. The other cracks are all good,
but Jimmy" is too fast company for
them.
The first event was the
ONE MILE NOVICE,
which proved a very interesting contest.
The nine men were started of well to-
gether bv J. T. Bailey, Of Pittsburg.
Neff LANG, Of this city, made good
squirt for the lead, and secured il, main
tanning his advantage for the half.
Then McNear, of WellSburg, by q nice
burst of speed, went to the front and
was not passed during the race. Dodd,
OF WelSburg, finished second, Laing
third, Smith fourth and Sadler fifth.
Time, 2;44l4.
HALF MILE OPEN.
In this race the great Zimmerman ap-
peared for the first time, and he was re-
ceived with hearty cheers. He has the
appearance OF an athlete In costume,
and the spectators were not surprised
nc the good showing which he made in
the races. There were six entries In
the race. Zimmerman took the lead al
the start, but soon dropped back to
third place. He followed this plan
| through sill the races, setting the pace
/ for about a quarter, and then bringing
up the rear. In each race be made a
magnificent squirt on the stretch, and
none OF his competitors were able tC
propei their machines at the speed re-
/ Quired TO keep up with him. He I'm
ished the race an easy winner, although
closely pushed by George Banker.
| Time, 1907 is. Citizens finished third,
j Brown fourth, and Smith fifth.
BOYS RACE.
There were FIVE entries in this race,
and it proved interesting mostly on &C
/ count OF the tender age of the partici-
pants. The girls pronounced the boys
lawfully cute.h Rodgers had clear
