OTHER EVENTS OF THE DAY.
The Crowd Mt the Parks-The Kingflshei
Picnic PoaInoned

The Crowd Mt the Parks-The Kingfisher
Picnic Postponed.
Despite the bad weather, there was
very fair attendance at Wheeling Park
yesterday. The Opera House band went
out in the morning, and began to dis
course fine programme OF music soon
after ten o'clock. dancing was INDUCED
in at intervals during the day and even
ing, aud the other amusements provided
by the management were enjoyed as
fully as the rain would permit. Ii was
matter for great and general regret
that the day was not fair, as many hun
dreds had intended visiting this popular
place for recreation and enjoyment, and
the management was we'll prepared to
receive them-but man proposes, and the
weather department disposes.
There were preparations for day and
evening Of pleasure at Sieberts, but
here again the elements interposed,
greatly TO the disappointment of many.
The big picnic planned by the King
fishers, at the Fair Grounds, was also
postponed, although an evening paper
said there was big crowd present.
The bad weather did not hinder a
large crowd Of people from going TO
Mozart park Yesterday, the occasion be-
ing the picnic given by the North End
Literary and Athletic Association, one
OF the most popular organizations Of the
city. Before noon the tickets showed
that over five hundred persons had
gone TO the park, and before evening
this number was augmented by fully as
many more. There were various diver
slons at the park. Bachmann's band
furnished the music for the large crowd
who spent the day enjoyably in dane
ing. There were bowling contests and
other forms of pleasure. The persons
on the committee and TO whom the most
honor for the success OF the outing Is
due were: C.. II. Hell, 3. w. Connolly,
William Otto, George GundlinR, John
Bachmann, John ThalmaD and j. A.
Ebert Jacob Wetzberger had charge
Of the dancing floor. Though the out
ing was a success, it was not what it
would have been had the day been fine.
Anumber OF private and school pic
MICS, arranged for the day, had to be
given up, they being postponed 70
various dates in the future.
Decoration Day was observed In Ben
wood in a fitting manner. Early in the
morning, Hancock Post Of the G.. A. K. &,
assembled at the City Hall, and head ed
by martial music, marched to the Nc
Mechen cemetery where the graves OF
the soldiers were decorated. When
they returned they were joined by the
scholars of the Benwood public schools
and the march was begun TO the Boggs'
Run buryinR ground. Passing the
Boggs' Run school all the pupils there
Joined In the march. There were
probably 200 persons in line. Before
the decorating Of the graves the ritual
of the G. A. r. was observed, and patri-
otto songs were sung. The graves were
then decorated. The ceremony was one
of the most successful ever observed Ia
BeEwood.

Sadly lntsrfsrsd With.

The cold, wet and generally miserable
weather Of yesterday sadly marred the
Decoration Day exercises. The attend
auce at the various cemeteries was nat
urally, under the circumstances, very
small, except at Mt. Zion, whereas
hundreds would have been present
had the day been fine, and at Mt.
Zion the elaborate programme set
apart for that cemetery had to be large
~ transferred TO hall within the city.
The usual details braved the mud
and rains and visited the various other
cemeteries, but the exercises were short,
and spectators were conspicuous oy
their absence.
The outings at the parks, and the
various picnics, both public and prl-
vate, were sadly interfered with.
Wheeling and Mozart Parks attracted
fair attendance, but the festivities at
the State Fair Grounds, at Seiberts and
elsewhere were postponed. The only
excursion to the city was small, and the
only one leaving, last evening. was not
we'll patronized. The q. A. r. exer-
cises, last evening, was largely attended
and very interesting.

A RUMORBD STRIKE
10 BE ORDERED on OVER-THE-RIVRR RAIL-
ROADS
The Trouble Alleged 10 Be the OuigrOwsh Of ih'
Miners Siriks-Soms Strike Gossip-A
Local Meeting for To-Day.

Here we have an intimation that the
striking habit is going to break out in
fresh place.
A special telegram from Columbus 70
the REGISTER, received last night,
stated that it was reliably reported
there that strike Of all the train men
employed on the Toledo and Ohio Cen
trail, the Wheeling aud Lake Erie, and
Cleveland. Lorain and Wheeling rail
ways, was imminent, and was being
pushed by the American Railway Union,
and that the expected trouble arose out
OF the lines named carrying West Nlr-
GINA coal.
The telegram was received in this city
at so late an hour that any local investi-
cation Of the matter was impossible,
but such strike would not greatly sur
prise any one conversant with the stu
alton. Large quantities Of West Nir-
GINA coal, from the Fairmont and Mon
ongah mines, have been shipped in here
over the Il. & O., and has gone hence 10
Ohio over the c., l.. Il w. and Wheeling
and Lake Erie. This has created
great deal Of feeling among
the miners, particularly 10 the
Eastern Ohio district. and the fire..
quent stoning of trains and couple Of
bridge fires on the c., l.. 81 w. has
been ascribed by railroad people either
to the striking miners or those In active
sympathy with them. A good deal OF
pressure has also been brought, in one
way and another, on railroad men 10
prevent this transportation Of coal, as
its shipment TO consumers has seriously
interfered with the plans and hopes OF
those engineering the great strike.
In the absence OF additional news,
the announcement from Columbus Is
given for what 1t may be worth. To-
day will probably dispose OF the matter
definitely, one way or another.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Points Picked Up About the Mills and
Factories.

POINTS fIckOd up ABOUT hue Ailib ahO
Factories.
George A. Letzkus, a well known
glass worker, has gone TO Hyde Park TO
work.
James Power, one OF the employees OF
the Titonvllle pottery, passed through
the city yesterday on the way to Thin,
where he will work.
The work OF putting the new sheet
iron roof on the Whitaker mill has
been begun. The erection Of the struc-
tural iron work is well under way.
The big factory at the LaBelle mill
will make two days this week. IL will
run to-day and tomorrow. The forge
department will also go on this morn
ing.
Daniel J. Coakly. one OF the best
known among the potters OF Tiltonyille,
was 10 the city last night. This well
known workman left the city last night
for the State OF California, where he Is
to make his home.
All the employees OF the TiltonviIle
pottery are to get the money the firm
owes them. When the plant was started
last February II was arranged that the
men should be paid 10 part each week,
the remainder being held back until the
trade became established. II Is now
thought the matter can be so arranged
that the works can be put on again soon
and 1t will not be necessary to sell them.

Meeting of miners Tonight.

The local miners will hold a meeting
tonight at Trades Assembly Hall,
which promises to be lively and inter-
esting. Rumor has it that the strikers,
or some Of them, at least, are manifest
ing decided disposition TO kick. Presi-
dent Jers Mead, OF the Panhandle dis.
trict, has been out OF the city for sew
eral days and the miners are mum
as TO his whereabouts. What the
complaint OF the disgruntled ones Is, IL
is hard TO ascertain. A telegram from
Charleston states that the operators in
that valley have offered an advance 10
their men. II the strikers return TO
work, the Panhandle district will be
practically the only section Of the State
in which the miners are out. West
Virginia miners are reaping the benefit
Of the coal strike, and IL is possible
that some OF the local miners take that
view of the situation.

THE PROCESSION

reached the cemetery there was grand
pageant. The procession bearing
wreaths and flowers was met at the
cemetery gates by fully 1.50O persons.
The burying ground clothed 10 verdure
never looked more beautiful The salute
was fred, and Rev. Peschau was again
called on for an address. He re-
sponded, and spoke in German
and English. In German he re-
called the loyalty of the Germans
Of Wheeling during the great war; how
they rallied to defend their country and
OF their loving memory Of the departed.
In English be recalled some war scenes
graphically. After the graves were
decorated, patriotic songs being sung,
the procession returned to Helmbrecht's
hall, where they disbanded, and an
other Decoration Day at the cemeteries
OF the Red Men and Mt. Zion was a
memory.

without stopping. Mr.. Robinson en-
listed and was the first man shot and
killed in one Of the engagements. Rev.
Peschau told of how the Eighth ward
was represented in all divisions Of the
army, and cited Squire Ankle as one Of
the soldiers from that section OF the
city who entered the private ranks.
Then be spoke Of the,gallantry OF the
West Virginia soldiers. He spoke of
the cavalry OF this State in gallant &C
tion at Gettysburg and Hanover, Pa.
Rev. Pescbau has lived in the South,
and he said that all Of the soldiers and
generals spoke in highest terms OF the
gallantry Of the troops from the Noun
tain State. General Joseph Z. John
son, the greatest of Confederate leaders
told the speaker that the West Virginian
soldiers fought like tigers. Rev.
Peschau had been Informed by the
brother OF the war treasurer of the
Confederacy, that he never saw Drawer
troops than the West Virginians. They
WOULD DIE FIGHTING,
but when they captured any Of the
enemy they would be treated like
gentlemen. Often, when they had
taken Confederate soldiers, they would
let them ride their horses half time, II
they were exhausted, and when the
Southern captives had nothing to eat,
they would supply them with food.
This gentleman had said that the Third
or Fourth Regiment Of West Virginia
troops had even supplied South
ern captives with coffee, the
first genuine they had partaken
OF for a long time, and
even yet they are heard to speak OF it.
Rev. Peschau then said: why then
should We not be proud OF such men,
such generous, true soldiers, kind to the
defeated, just as soldiers ought 20 be. l"
Then the speaker again referred TO
local history. He saw the company
leave Wheeling TO witness the hanging
of John Brown at Charles Town; saw
the three months soldiers leave the
mail City" had seen the great parades,
when the Wheelingites carried horse
pistols, cheese knives, and lances made
by the Eighth ward blacksmiths, but
which were soon put aside when war
made itself fully felt. He spoke Of
THE DRILLING GROUND
on the site OF the old Washington Mil,
now Bloch Bros. great tobacco factory,
and OF the camp on Thirty-ninth street.
He closed this POI tiOn of his address by
a high tribute TO the Eighth Wardsrs.

all branches Of the army. Having pict-
ured the loyalty Of Wheeling soldiers,

THE ADDRESS.

But the main attraction was the ad-
dress delivered by Rev. L. w. +.
Peschau, of Greensburg, Pa, an old
Wheeling boy, and son OF Henry Pes
chau, well known Eighth ward citi-
zen. Rev. Peschau was introduced
10 the audience by Squire
Ankle, who paid the noted divine de-
served aud glowing tribute OF praise.
Rev. Peschau spoke for forty minutes,
and his address was most excellent
one. What made it so interesting was
that he spoke of local history pertain
tanning to the war. His fund OF in
formation of this kind was so
great that many facts pro-
duced had long since been for
gotten by the oldest citizens. He
spoke especially of the part the Eighth
ward soldiers, who were his playmates,
school comrades and college col
leagues, took in the war. The
speaker here produced a most in
teresting train OF "reminiscences. Ted
Harden, OF the Eighth ward, was one Of
the finest scouts in the war OF the re-
bellion. Robert Spear, who lived near
the La Belle mill, was sharp-shOoter
in the Union army. His commander
spoke very highly OF him, and his gem
eral said once that he aimed seventeen
times, and each time he fired a man
dropped from the Confederate ranks.
William Hoyt was the next-door neigh
Dor of the speaker. He was confined in
Pemberton prison, Richmond, and came
home to die. The second day after his
return to Wheeling he died. He also
spoke in high terms of Captain Schuck-
ey, father OF Prof. Schockey, and Fred.

Peschau resided lived William Robin

Plate Printcrs' Controversy.

Secretary Carlisle has received letter
from John R. Jones, secretary-treasurer of

the daily press of recent dates in reference
to the contract for printing postage stamps,
now under consideration by the Post Office
Department, and the fact that a committee
of plate printers waited on you recently
with a view of influencing the award of
that contract MisrepreSen tations made by
that committee call for corrections on the
part of the National Plate Printers Union.
THE above committee do not represent
the plate printers industry of this city, as
claimed by them. Their organization, known
