 The pair walked on for a little way in silence. Elinor, thoroughly. bewil- dered, was trying to recall the topics of her many conversations with Jenny Forester. Had they ever talked of O'Ryan? O'Ryan-O' Ryan What dad the name suggest? Suddenly she sat down upon a friendly doorstep and began laughing almost hysterically. More frightened than ever, poor Harry dropped down beside her. begging her to be calm, and assuring her that he always had, did now, and always should, love her with all his heart. Then she sprang up. "Be quick!' she said Come to the corner, where we can. see the sky better. Hurry! There. look up, dear. Do you see him there, with his glittering belt of stars, and the flashing star-swor6 It his side?

Kennedy and His Aspirations,

Aid. Kennedy is making frantic
efforts to be reelected to the council,
as he realizes that his political fu-
ture hangs in the balance. 1t is not
the aldermanic seat that Kennedy
covets, so much as it is to secure the
republican nomination for mayor a
year hence. II he now fails of reelec-
tion in n republican ward he knows
he will be done for, and as his ambi-
tion is soaring beyond the narrow
confines of ..Grcenbush'' it is ground
hog case with him. Like his at one
time illustrious friend. McConochie,
Kennedy is making all sorts of prom.
ises to win out, and he is fast earn
ing the soubriquet of "Wily Bill the
H." However, the voters of the
Sixth ward seem to have made ur
their minds that they have had
enough of Kennedy and his vacillat-
ing ways, and it is more than likely
that Honest John Konosky will ''ge,
there" by nice majority.

Matters in connection with the efforts
OF Island residents to secure concessions
from the TWO bridge companies regard
ing foot tolls which were recently adj
vanced, took sharp turn yesterday,
and something definite will transpire
within day or two.
The committee recently appointed by
the Island people to treat with the two
bridge companies waited on the Off
GERS OF the Wheeling & Belmont Bridge
Company yesterday morning and made
a demand that the old rate of foot toll
to Island families, fifty cents per month,
be restored. The bridge people couldn't
see their way clear to do this, but there
was an inquiry on the part of the OIL
cials whether three years contract on
the old line of rates could not be estab-
lished. This the committee was not in
a position to say, and the meeting adj
journed without action being taken on
either side. The bridge officials said
there would be meeting of the COM
pany Thursday, and that if anything
turned up the committee would be
asked to again wait on them.
The sensation of the day, however,
came at the noon hour when members
of the same committee held confer
once with General Manager a. NJ. Jolly
and Superintendent Michael Lotus, OF
the Wheeling Railway Company, in the
upper part of the city. The interview
did not last long but results were partly
arrived ut, which prospectively look
bright for the Islanders. An agreement
was reached whereby the railway OFF,
Gals will communicate to the board of
directors of their company, most OF
whom live in Cincinnati, two proposals
regarding Island traffic. The first is
that the road will carry passengers
from any part of the Island to
a point at any place on the upper loop
at the rate of one cent per trip. The
other proposition is that passengers get
on the cars within two squares of either
end OF the bridge and get off within
these limits, and the charge for fare
will be one cent for the round trip.
The latter proposition, it is understood,
is looked upon with the most favor by
the Island committee, and probably will
be tho most acceptable one.
A proposition has been received from
river man who agrees to start q steam
ferry to run from the foot of Twelfth
street TO the foot of Fink street on tho
Island, providing enough families will
take monthly tickets at fifty cents per
month, the old bridge ratio.
The end of the week will probably see
the matter settled.

A NEW RACING CIRCUIT.
Wheeling VIII Sec Good Bicycle Racing

Wheeling VIII 500 Good Bicycle Racing
This Season.
A meeting of the directors of the
Wheeling Athletic Wheelmen under
whose auspices the successful bicycle
racing meet of last September was
hold here, was held last evening and
plans for 1894 wore talked over. The re-
port of Secretary Riheldalfer was sub
mitted, showing satisfactory condition
of affairs.
Mr.. w. L. Barnes, of WellsvilIe, Ohio,
who was identified with the tourna-
ment held there last summer, in which
he advocates q racing circuit to be COM
posed of Wheeling, Steubenville, Beaver
Falls, Pa, and Wellsville. He suggests
that joint committee take charge and
that the four meets be held in one week
this summer. The main advantages
from this consolidation would be that
the expenses for the racing men would
be minimized and consequently more of
ton is that n joint committee take
charge of the four race meets.
No action was taken on the PROPOSE
ton, for the reason that it is probable
that Wheeling will be admitted to the
international bicycle racing circuit,
which is of course be "bigger
puddle" This latter matter will be de-
cided at the meeting of the national as
sembly of the L. a. W., which will
meet at Louisville the latter, part of
next month.
The annual meeting of the W. a. w.
will take place Thursday evening of
next week at George w. Johnston's
Sons office, when the stockholders will
elect new board of directors, and the
latter viii chose officers for the present
year.
