of the work in progress. The demand Tor a
halt should be prompt and imperative.

Mr.. Depew, who may be presumed to speak
by the card, said in Chicago yesterday that the
railroads are ready to meet the popular demand
for reduced rates to the Fair, and that ar
rangements will probably soon be made to
run special excursion trains with low fares
several times each week. The railroad man
ayers will. in fact. meet early next week to
take action on this important matter. There
was keen disappointment at the decision some
time ago to keep rates UP during the Exhibit
ton, and the contemplated reduction will be
exceedingly welcome. Ii is unquosiionably to
the interest Of Chicago to draw az many people
there as possible, and the railroads will be sure
not to suffer by adopting liberal policy
toward Worlds Fair visitors.

Harvard University has taken another step
in the direction of raising the standard of edu-
caton-a step which will be approved by those
who wish to see that standard advanced in our
educational institutions of al grades. After
the year 1S95-06 no one will be admitted to
the Harvard Law School who has not secured
the degree of Bachelor Of Arts COR an equiv
alent degree) from one of long list of col
leges which have been selected with great care
and whose degrees count for something This
MEANS of course, better-cducated lawyers and
where Harvard leads the way other law schools
can hardly choose but follow.

The report just made to the Secretary OF
War on the work of destruction which is going
on at Gettysburg shows the need of immediate
action in order to preserve this famous battle
fed. JuEt what can be done by the Govern
ment seems to be uncertain, but surely there
must be sufficient authority somewhere to pre-

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, September
26.-Aaother surprise in the Chaddock
murder case was in store this morning.
When the case was called, before the
second jury panel, summoned last night,
could be called, Judge LOOMS, counsel
for Chaddock, arose and asked for a
continuance. This was another sur
prise, as on yesterday the defendants
counsel had announced themselves
ready for trial, and the first jury panel
had been exhausted and fifteen jurors
sworn In. The ground for continu-
ance was based on the absence Oh
"Shine" Preston, who, IL was
claimed, was a material wit
ness for the defense. Preston is a
fugitive from justice, having jumped q
bond Of $500 on the 18th when his trial
for the robbery Of old man Cotton OF
5000 was set for the 10th. In addition,
Preston had not been summoned. The afli'
davits was filed and the court adjourn
ed the hearing until tomorrow morn
ing, when the prosecutor will also ME
an affidavit. The peculiar situations
in this case were so pyrotechnic In
character that they added zest to the
curiosity of the big crowd OF spec
tators which packed the court room
from beginning 10 end OF the session.
1t is believed generally that the motion
for continuance will be over-ruled and
that on tomorrow the trial will be
hepnn.

A Pertinent Enquiry.

To TIE Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-How does it come that the
Finance Committee Of Council allowed
the question OF providing money to
meet the principal and Interest Of the
electric mt bonds to drift along TO
within five days OF the time when the
money was due and payable, without
calling attention to the matter or taking
some steps to meet the emergency?
The mem bers OF this Committee knew
perfectly we'll that unless the Board OF
Gas Trustees got the $40, 900 Of outside
money they asked for, they could not
meet the principal and interest OF the
bonds falling due. The Board did not
get the money, and the Committee
therefore knew, three months ago, that
the bonds could not be met from that
source, yet nothing was done until
Monday night.
In the light Of this fact, the public,
It occurs to me, will look to the Com
mittee for an explanation.

4 GRAVE EMERGENCY
NOW CONFRONTING COUNCIL AND THE CITY
OF WHEELING.
Principal and Intsrss! of The Necric Light Loan
Must Be Net Before Ocobsr 1st-COunGil Up
sets ths Report Of the Finance Commit
ss.-An Fxraordinary Meeting
C4.Ied for Tonight

The publication in the REGISTER OF
Yesterday of some of the details
of the serious financial compli-
cations at present existing in city
affairs came as a sudden shock to
many citizens, Notwithstanding all that
has been printed heretofore regarding
the general dearth of money up about
the City Hall.
Business men and taxpayers gener-
ally had no other idea than that the
| Council had made entirely adequate
provisions for the protection Of the
credit Of the city, through ample and
timely provision to meet the
interest and principal of all bonds
falling due this year, and when
it came out, as a result of the meeting
of the Finance Committee on Monday
night, that matters had been allowed
to drift along up to within few days
Of October 1st, when the interest on
S72, 900 Of electric light bonds and
IS, 900 OF the principal falls due, without
either calling attention TO the lack OF
money, or taking steps to provide 1t,
there was general surprise, aud num-
Der of enquiries as to what particular
sort of business policy was prevailing
this year, in the city government.
THE COMMITTEES IDEA.
At Monday nights session, the Finance
Committee raked up,enough to meet the
interest falling due, S4,320, and re-
ported an ordinance approprlating that
amount for the purpose named, relying
upon private arrangements with the
holders of the SIS, 600 of bonds payable
10 carry them ever for another year.
When this report reached the Second
Branch of Council, last night, a resolu-
ton was adopted laying aside the ordi-
nance, and calling a joint meeting Of
the FINANCE Committee, the Gas Trus-
tees, the Superintendent OF the Gas
Works and the City Solicitor, for this
evening, to devise ways and means, II
possible, TO meet both principal and in
terest, q report to be made to a special
session Of Council, to be called
tomorrow evening. This resolution
was adopted by a vote OF - to 6, and
that ended the matter for the present.
simultaneously a resolution was adopt
ed in the First Branch, calling a meet
ing Of the Finance Committee to ascer-
tain il some reformation could not be
worked in the financial management OF
the gas works, and calling upon the
Trustees OF that department to furnish
all necessary information to that end.
Now that sthis course has been laid
down, there IS no doubt but that all en-
ergies will be bent in the direction Of
making the projected programme a
success, and meeting the obligations of
the city fully and promptly, but at the
same time there are

ACTION IN THE FIRST BRANCH.

ACIlON ~ AA-
Iu the First Branch Mr.. Richards Of
fered the following
"WEEREAs, The City Gas Board has
been unable to meet its liabilities out OF

has already been appropriated to It's use
funds that had been set aside Tor other

therefore,
"Resolped. That the Finance Com
mTttee be and is hereby Instructed to
consider ways and means to provide for

This was adopted, but when present
ed In the Second Branch 1t was not
thought necessary, In view OF the action
already taken to act upon it.

GRAVE FEARS

In the minds OF many Councilmen that
10 will be impossible, or at least eX-
tremelv difficult, TO do this, and that 1t
would have been much better to have
adopted the report Of the Commit
tee as presented last night, and
thus providing for the payment of
the interest upon the bonds, to have
then taken whatever steps were posi-
Bile to pay the principal. The main o.
lection urged to this course was that it
would be merely piling up trouble for
1894, and that it would be best to meet
the exigency boldly aud at once and
dispose of it in whatever manner might
be agreed upon after a mature consid-
Grafton OF all the facts. In opposition
to this it is urged that the time is too
short for such mature consideration;
that the City Solicitor is absent from
the city, and cannot possibly get
here to take part in this evenings
meeting, and that the money, footing
M $40, 42O. cannot be found, and unless
10 is, the city must default, to the great
impairment Of our municipal credit and
standing In the business world. In
other words, that a great risk is being
ran in a very grave matter, when 1t
might have been avoided by the pay
ment OF interest as provided in the FL
nance Committees report, and private
understanding with holders OF bonds as
to the principal.
With this predatory statement of the
situation, a review OF the action in
Council last night follows

VIEWS OF coUNCILMEN.


The report OF the Finance Committee
came up in the Second Branch, the
Clerk reading the ordinance taking the
balance Of the stone bridge money and
nearly a thousand dollars additional
from the city contingent fund, TO make
up the 81, 800 necessary TO meet the in
terest account When the ordinance
had been read first time, Mr.. Cruise
took the floor, and being recognized,
said
'Mr. President-By general consent
l would like to say few words before
this ordinance is considered. The stu
alton as presented is one of grave i'm
portauce. Chairman Maxwell, OF the
Committee on Finance, called my atten-
ton to the matter yesterday. l then
and there agreed with him as TO the
best solution Of the question. l couldn't
meet with the Committee, but | under
stand It's action was in accordance with
what was told me by the Chairman.
Since then l have thought over the
matter and considered the proposed
plan, and to me now it seems cal
culated TO put US in a very bad posi-
u
due October 1st $4,000 Of the cleo
trio light bonds and interest on that
issue, amounting to $500. We have
provided in the report Of the Committee,
Tor the interest, but in doing so, we Ut
terly wipe out the balance OF the stone
bridge appropriation. What is the re-
suit? You are pling up for 1884 S., 900
of the bonds coming due the first Of
the coming month. You will also have
to meet the same amount next year,
making SIC, 600, not counting interest.
You will have $4,000 of the stone
bridge money TO meet, also. That
makes $4,000, l believe, not figuring
interest, and counting that you will
have S43, goo, payable out Of the general
fund of the city in 1894. What are we
coming to? Suppose one OF the
holders OF the electric light
bonds is willing to let his
