KIND WORDS FROM THE PRESS

BeIldire IndeDendent-Mr. James B.
fancy, the head of the Wheeling REG
ISrER Company aud the man who d.
reefs the course of that paper, has been
appointed Consul to Belfast, Ireland,
by President Cleveland. This is de-
served recognition Of a gentleman who
has stood the brunt Of many hard
fought battles and TO whose efforts
more than 10 any other one man, per-
haps, is due the fact that the Little
Mountain State remained in the Demo-
cratic column. Mr.. fancy is with all,
a capable and polished gentleman, and
is certain 10 be pleasing and agree
able representative in the land where
the "Blarney Stone" abOunds, We
congratulate Mr.. fancy, and also Presi-
dent Cleveland upon his selection.
PdrkerSbltrg Senttnel-Mr. j. Ii. Tan
ey, Of the Wheeling REGISTER, has been
appointed consul to Belfast, Ireland.
As manager Of the leading Democratic
paper In the State, Mr.. fancy was en-
titled to recognition and the President
has done well to appoint him. He will
represent our country with credit to
himself and TO our government.
Wheeling Intelligencer-The Intelli-
qeneer Joins with the other friends Of
Mr.. James B. fancy to congratulate
him on the recognition Of his own and
his newspapers services to the Demo
cratic party. The qualifications which
have made him a successful business
man will insure the satisfactory dis
charge OF his duties as Consul to Bel
fast.
Wheeling NelDS-West Virginia news
paper men generally will be pleused at
the appointment of Mr.. James B fancy
TO be consul to Belfast, because it is the
recognition of the services of a party
newspaper. 1t is the first time, we be-
lleve for number Of years that any
West Virginia newspaper man has been
honored by so high position by either
party, not however, because the West
Virginia newspaper men have been less
deserving than their brethren else
where. Mr.. Cleveland seems to be fol-
lowing the example of Mr.. Harrison TO
some extent, in the appointment OF
newspaper men. A newspaper man was
made consul to Paris, another goes to
Central America as minister, and the
appointment yesterday adds another
conspicuous example TO the list Of news
paper appointees. The NelVS wishes
for Consul fancy abundant success and
prosperity in his new field of labor.

BUILDING NOTES.

Squire j. w. Schultz is having his
residence on the South Side greatly
beautlfed.
The first half of r. v. Ankles iron
front business block on South jacob
street, is under roof.
Jno Wenzel, of Forty third and jacob
streets. has had ground broken for a
fine new residence there.
The Bank of Wheeling will probably
be removed into the new building about
the middle of next week.
The work of demolishing portions Of
the Delaplain building preparatory to
making the extensive improvements In
contemplation, has commenced.
Townsend & Brown, general con-
tractors for the double-track street car
system to Benwood, had pay day yes
terday. They have at least one hum
bred and twenty-five on the list.
Work on the new hose house at Full
ton has been begun, and is progressing
rapidly. 1t is expected that the build
lug will be occupied by the first OF next
month.
Extensive improvements are being
made to the WinGerter property on
Main street, formerly occupied by Mrs.
Z. Dittman. The first floor will be used
as a store room. 1t will be 120 feet
long. The other floors will be divided
into flats.
Proposals for rebuilding Lincoln
school will be received at the Office OF
the Board of Education until noon on
the 18th inst. The new building will
go up on the site Of the old house,
part of the walls OF the former builing
being saved.
Hallock Bros. have the contract and
will erect very large transfer shed
for the 3. 81 o., at the Benwood juno
ton. Work will be begun right away.
1t is probable these contractors will
erect a large ice house there for the
B, 81 o. Company, in the near future.

it is, while the Presidents order
may seem harsh to many gentlemen

inexorable demands upon his time, will
crIticlse the motive OF his action.

Almost an Accident.

Yesterday afternoon about half-past
three o'clock there was very narrow
escape from a serious accident on the
wharf The Martins Ferry transfer
wagon was coming up the wharf near
the foot Of Twelfth street with heavy
load on board, and the driver headed
his horses right across the "Pewiky"
track, directly in front of train which
was coming up from the direction of
the creek. The driver did not see or
hear the train, and must inevitably have
been run down had not John LOOMS
ran out and checked up the team when
the engine was but few feet away.

A Brave Deed.

A south-bound electric motor came
near striking a little child on Chapline
street, below Twenty-seventh, about 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The car
was moving at rapid speed, when the
little lad walked out between the tracks.
Seeing the motor coming, he stood
dazed. Operator Thomas was teaching
a new man. Realizing the danger of
the child, he applied the brakes, and In
a moment was over the dashboard, and
had the child In his arms. 1t was re-
markably narrow escape, and the child
owes its life to the presence Of mind
and bravery Of the operator.

Full Report OF the Investigations of
Their Relative Holding Capacity.
The following report Of the commit
tee which recently made tests OF the
holding capacity Of the cut and wire
nails, will be read with great gratihca-
ton and interest, as 1t shows conclusive
ly the superiority of an article OF manu-
facture, Of which Wheeling is really
the home:
To the Manufacturers of Cut Nails and
Wire Nails In the United States.
GENTLEAfEN:-We have the honor Of
presenting, hereunder, the results OF
the challenge tests, computed and ar
ranged by consulting engineer, VIM. IL.
Burr, from the detailed offici2l report
of commanding officer, j. w. Reilly,
Major, Ordinance Department u. 5. A,
in command of the United States
Arsenal at WATERFOWL, Mass, and OF
the United States Testing Machine at
that station.
The report of Major Reilly gives the
action, under stress, OF each one OF the
nails (1,160 in number) tested In the
trials; but it is embodied in ffty-two
manuscript pages; and In accordance
with the custom Of the testing depart
ment, it does not give the groupings,
general summaries and PERCENTAGES,
which are necessary for concise presen-
tation and quick apprehension of the
results. In order to obtain these we
handed Major Reilly's report to Mr.
Burr, who is doubtless known to most
of the nail manufacturers, through his
professional reputation and published
works, and also as the occupant OF a
prominent professorship OF engineering.
We preserve the report Of Major
Reilly for any examination or COMPARE
son that may be called for. The said
report Is made from the original en-
tries, preserved in the record books Of
the testing department Of the United
States Arsenal, at WATERFOWL, Mass.

sHE LAW AND THE JUSTICE OF 1T.


However great may be the difference
of opinion regarding the justice Of the ex-
ecution of CARLYLE HARRIS on eircum-
stantial evidence it must be acknow-
lodged that Gov. FLOWER had no choice
except between observing the law and
Welding to the force Of sentimental
opinions.
The law which convIcts a capital Of
fender on circumstantial evidence may
be wrong, but the question is not one
for those who exc iute the laws to de-
eide.
HARRIs'trial was exceedingly full and
fair and impartial. Neither judge nor
Jury were prejudiced against him. The
review OF the case submitted to the Gov
ernor strained every point in favor Of
that possible doubt Of the condemned
mans guilt; but still the Governor had
no choice between allowing the law to
take its course and annulling this
feature Of it by his decree.
He had backbone enough to resist
the wave Of maudlin sympathy that
would have overwhelmed weaker
man, aud the strength to adhere strict
ly 10 his duty.
II the law which convlcts criminal
Of a capital offense on eircumstantial
evidence that is satisfactory TO a jury
is wrong it ought to be so declared by
statute. 1t is not the business Of the
executive to 90 behind it.

Eight of the old hostlers OF the B. &

positions since the shops were removed
to Benwood Junction. The duty OF
these men is the cleaning and keeping
of engines while In from runs. The
work is sometimes very difficult, and
the inconvenience in getting to Ben
wood and the increased labor after they
got there caused them to resign.
Among this number was Patsy Clark,
who had been in the B. g. o. employ as
hostIer of engines for twenty-seven
years. He was one of the most thor
