CITY GRADES.
An Important Meeting of the Streets,
Alleys and Grades Committee.

An Important Meeting of the Streets,
Alleys and Grades Committee.
The Council Committees on Streets,
Alleys and Grades and Railroads were
called to meet in joint session last even
ing. to take up for further considera-
ton the Wheeling and Elm Grove rail-
road ordinance, but as a quorum OF the
Railroads Committee could not be
obtained, the joint session was not
held.
The Streets, Alleys and Grades Com
mittee held a meeting, and passed upon
several grade ordinances submitted by
the City Surveyor. These were dis
posed Of as follows:
The ordinance making a change in
the grade on the north side OF Twenty
seventh street, in front OF the new
school house, was recommended for
passage.
The same action was had in the case
OF the ordinance making a grade for
Market street, south Of Twenty-seventh
street.
The ordinance establishing a grade
for Vermont street, from South Penn to
South Front, was considered for time,
but action was deferred until the Com
mittee could examine the street. There
is bad dip in the street-such a one as
formerly existed in Virginia street, near
the corner OF Penn-and TO run
straight line from the grade OF South
Penn street TO South Front street will,
it is claimed, damage some Of the abut-
ting property.
A change was ordered made In the
grade on North Front street, in front Of
the Glasscock property, so as TO raise the
curb foot. This is to be done al Mr..
Glasscock's expense.
The ordins &c establishing the grade
of Alley Twenty was postponed IS In
advisable.
The attention Of the Committee was
called TO the importance OF having
grade record book, profile book and
plat book for the better preservation Of
grade ordinances, railroad plats and
profles, which are now scattered all
over creation, not indexed, and very
difficult to find. The engineer was in
structed to ascertain the cost Of the
books and report

WEEK OF PRAYER FOR YOUNG MEN.
To be Observed by Young Mems Chris
tian Associations November IL to 1S.

tian Associations November IL to lS.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions of North America at their Bien-
NAL Convention last May, unanimously
resolved "that, as heretofore, the second
Sunday in November, and the week fol-
lowing, be set apart as time for gen.
eral thanksgiving TO God, who has so
marvelousIy advanced the work OF our
Associations, and to humbly pray for
continuance of his favor"
This season of special prayer for
young men and the work in their be-
half-now appointed for the twenty
eighth time-wilI be very widely ooserV-
ed by the Associations and by friends or
young men.
Pastors of very many churches have
considered it a privilege to join with
the Associations in the observance OF
this season, and every year thousands
of them have taken advantage OF the
opportunity to bring TO the attention OF
their congregations on the second Sun
day OF November the need OF special
effort for the salvation of young men.
In view of the approaching Week of
Prayer, we call attention TO the pro-
gress made by this Association. The
first Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation was organized by George
Williams in 1874, in London, England.
The first Association OF this kind on
this continent was organized in Mon
treal, Canada, in 1851. This was soon
followed by the formation of such or
CARNATIONS in the United States.
These Associations have grown rapidly
In number and mem bership in England,
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Ger
many, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden,
Asia, Africa and Oceanica. But 1t is IN
the United States that the greatest ad-
vance has been made during the last
twenty.seVen years. In 1866 there were
less than 100 Associations, with men,
bcrship of not more than $4,000; now,
there are 1,439, with total member
ship Of 246, OOO There are 42S College
Associations, 90 Railroad, 70 German,
80 Colored, "a Indian. Then, there
was one Association building,
valued at $1,000; now, there
are pa, worth S12, 591, OOO Then, to-
tai net property amounting TO S90,000;
now, it amounts to S14,20S, 043. Then,
there were less than dozen young men
giving their entire time to the work;
now, there are 1,279 secretaries and as
sistants. There has heen a very large
increase along every line Of work. AT
the same time these Associations have
not been attempting to take the
place of the churches; but, on the con-
trary, they have been most efficient
helpers of the churches. They have
adhered to strict orthodoxy in doctrine,
and have been actunted by the most
earnest evangelical spirit.

AN INJUSTICE

Done the Cleveland, LOraIn and Wheeling
Company Through Similarity of Names.
Tuesday morning the REGISTER, in
common with a number OF other news
papers, printed telegram from Steu
benyIlle, which told Of the foreclosure
of certain cognovit notes against the
Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Rail-
road Company" The telegram was in
error in a very important particular,
since it was not the Cleveland, Lorain
aud Wheeling which was involved.
That road did not figure in the matter
At all. bat it was the Cleveland and
Wheeling Company, formerly and bet
ter known to Wheeling folks as the
South Pennsylvania aud Ohio. The
correction is in justice TO the Cleve-
and, Lorain and Wheeling, the man
agement Of which has been consider
ably annoyed by the error.

Reports of the increase Of diphtheria

Sixth ward school until the disease
abates, while several parents announced
their determination to remove their
children from school. A number Of
new cases Of the disease were reported
Yesterday, and it is believed there is
not less than fifty cases in all south Of

in dangerous condition. Alittle child

has, it is thought, been saved by a re-
sort to tracheotomy. Two little emil
dren of August Foose have the disease,
and little child of +. A. Woeber, Jr.,

evening.
Parents should observe all precau-

FITTING UNDERWEAR!
What's an underwear fit?

All decent Underwear fits the body-no
trouble about that But-well say one man in
five has to roll up his sleeves and drawer legs;
another man in five has to get his drawers too big
around so that the legs will go down to his socks,
and two more men can't see why their wrists and
ankles are cold
OF course not heartrending grief, just an
annoyance. Our Underwear gets rid of this an
noyance.

The Florence Messenger, speak
ing of Clevelands opposition to a
compromise on the silver issue,
says, "when the news was circula-
ted last Tuesday, the price of cot
ton Immediately rose 16 points,
this seems a fair indication of the
high price the staple will bring,
when the repeal is all assured
fact" 1t is just such reckless
promises on behalf of ;Cleveland's
friends, that jeopardise the exist
cnce of the Democratic party. To
carry out their aims, they have
promised heaven and earth. and
the enevitable failure of fulfill
ment that awaits, will meet at the
ballot box a people unwilling
longer to trust them. Any sensible
man knows that neither the repeal
of the Sherman law nor free silver,
will Immediately restore prosperity
but since Cleveland has SO promi-
sad, the people have a right of full
fillment, and if men can's pick up
$40 bills in the road after the
Sherman law ii repeled, it is uot
because this administration has
not indirectly led them to believe
so.--Reform Advance.

Hampton's Manifesto.

The State
"I have waited to ascertain the
views of the Democratic press of
South Carolina, for these papers
represent in my opinion, the only
true Democratic sentiment of the
State, and this sentiment should
be expressed by what are called
the Conservative papers. My own
Judgment is clear that the time
has come when the line should be
drawn between those who stand Oh
the Ocala platform and those who
stand on that of the National
Democracy. No man who upholds
the former can claim properly to
be Democrat, and unless our peo-
pie choose to support the fallacies
of the Ocala adherents or to be
led into the Populist party the
true Democrats of the
State should organize to maintain
the principles Of the Democratic
party as set forth in the Chicago
platform.
eff my Democratic fellow
citizens agree with me that this is
the true policy to be adopted I
shall at once proceed to organize
National Democratic climbs
throughout the State and I shall
exert my utmost efforts to keep
the State where it properly belongs
in the great Democratic column.
I believe that it can be done, for
our people will scarcely now in The
hour of victory, forsake the flag
they followed steadfastly and 80
faithfully when that flag went
down in defeat. Unscrnpulous
demagogues have by false promises
misled many of our most honest
men, and they have brought shame
upon our proud State.
81 still have all abiding faith in
the men who followed the Starry
Cross through trials and carnage,
who bore with the heroism of mar
tyrs the sufferings of the Recon
struction era, and who, with a
devotion and pluck never sur
passed, rescued the State in 76
Those men cannet forget the past
nor can they forsake the banner
under which the victory of '76 was
won. i'll can once Imore give aid
to my State I shall gladly enlist
in her service, and I shall rejoice
to fain those who seek to maintain
her welfaee, to protect her honor
against shame and disgrace"

A Hard Winter.

Loren Cushman, an aged farmer
of Plymouth, Chenango Co., N. Y,
has quite d reputation asa reliable
weather prophet, and whenever he
makes a prognostication his friends
and acquaintances regard it as
worthy of credence. Mr.. Cushman
believes the coming winter will be
an unusually severe one, and bases
his opinion on the following
grounds: First, the husks of corn
ale much thicker than usual, anu
of a deep orange tint, instead of q
light lemon hue. Second, the hogs
melt runs jagged, instead of
smooth. Third, the goose bone
taken from a May-raised fowl
shows larger and whittier spots than
customary, which resemble the
canals of Mars. Fourth, the crop
of nuts of all kinds is immense,
and the squirrels and chipmunks
are laying in prcdigious stores
early in the season. Fifth, the
partridges and woodcock are light
Ing in barns and outhouses, instead
of trees, and ducks are flying in
U-shaped, instead of V-shaped,
focks toward the South. Sixth,
the green frogs are changing their
skins and are even now seeking
cool wells and springs for their
winter quarters. Mr.. Cushman
believes the coming winter will bt
the most severe this country has
experienced since the winter of
1888.
