Excelsior L. A., 2672, K. of L., held an un-
usually interesting meeting last Friday even
ing. By request OF the assembly. District
Master Workman Simmons was on hand to
install the officers for the current term.
The membership OF this local is made up OF
peoplo of various occupations and both sexes,
and the hard times have caused quite num-
ber to fall behind in their dues; but it is un-

objection will be raised, to any such who may SO

The carpenters have Lot up to this time
decided on the details of how they will appear
in the parade. They have been giving a
large proportion of their time to making their
excursion down the river a grand success. II
had been already decided to Apply the profits
OF the excursion to the display on Labor Day.
The excursion proved to be all that could be
wished, therefore much may he expected of
the carpenters.

The Horseshoers' committee are arranging
for turnout on grand scale that will eclipse
any previous parade. The horseshoers' repu-

SIR:-From conservative standpoint
and TO one who believes that charity
to all and injustice to none" should be
the guiding star" in the present mud
die between the people of the Island
and the two bridge companies, il GER
tainly looks ike supreme folly for the
bridge companies TO undertake to force
on the people Of the Garden Spot" an
unjust and extortionate toll, particu-
larry at time when people have
to economic in every shape and form in
order TO keep 1.-THE wolf from the door "
In our opinion a very moderate toll
should be charged the people of the
Seventh ward as, In manner, they have
been the means Of piling up large divi-
dends for the stockholders of the old
corporation. Twenty five cents for Il
monthly,ticket would surely be a fair
and just charge for the people OF that
large and growing ward, and unless
something very near TO this is adopted
means will materialse which may hurt
IA great deal more than medium fare.
Hoping that nothing may occur TO bring
10 the front such policy, the writer

Our Report of the Reilly VIII Case Has

Both Lttigants and the GeneraI Public

Our Report of the Reilly VIII Case Has
Met with the Unanimous Approval OF
Both Litigants and tho General Public.
The REGISTERS very full and en-
tirely accurate reports OF the sessions
OF Court during the trial of the great
Reilly will case, have nat with the
unqualified approval OF all the parties
interested, representatives of both the
proponents and contestants haVingre-
peatedly expressed their satisfaction.
The general public has also found In
the REGISTER reports full
and satisfactory review OF the
proceedings from daY To day, and
many persons not regular Subscribers to
this paper, have found the REGISTER
Indispensable TO n correct understand
Ing of what was trans piring 10 Court,
and have not hesitated TO unite with
our regular readers in expressions of
appreciation.
The pending trial is the most import
ant civil cause tried in our Courts for
many years, and possesses a very swlde
interest, in and out of the city Of Wheel
ing. The REGISTERS Court reports
have for years far exceeded those OF all
other local papers. 1t usually printing 4
report considerably larger, in all i'm
portant trials, than all other city papers
combined, while accuracy has been a
feature equally we'll marked. In its re-
view OF the cause now at bar, the REG

for newsgathering-a field in which il
has no rival in Wheeling.

RELIEF WORK.
Tho Meu to be Paid This Afternoon-
Threateu~d Sults

No orders were filled yesterday at the
supply depot, except those given for
work by the city boards. During the
day two handsome contributions were
m ade. Dlnger Bros. sent thirteen boxes
OF hats and caps. An unknown con
tributor sent five sacks OF potatoes, con
tanning about ten bushels. The COM
mittee has TO spend a large proportion
OF It's funds for shoes, which are as bad
ly needed as any other single article.
This afternoon at two o'clock the
orders given for work by the Board OF
Public Works, will be casbed AZ the
Office OF City Clerk Thos. r. Thoner.
These orders are for work done during
the past two weeks, and the pay roll
will amount TO about 81, 900. The men
were last paid just two weeks ago to-
day.
There is still great complaint among
the men working for the Gas Board,
because they cannot have their work
slips cashed, but are compelled TO accept
provisions. In spite of the fact that
they secure about 81. so worth OF provi-
sions for Si.OO, many Of them prefer the
cash, In order that they may be privi-
legged TO spend IL wherever they please.
Yesterday they talked OF bringing suit
Tor the money against the relief com
mittee. The matter was taken up and
discussed generally, with the result
thst the men holding the work slips
filed into Justice Gillespy's Office yester-
day In such mum bers that he was com
PEELED to stop all othor business to talk
to them.
The Justice met all these complaints
In the same way. He referred the men
TO Mayor Cald well.
On the part OF the Committee II is
claimed that cashing the orders will
defeat the object Of the agreement en-
tered into between IL and the Gas Board.
The gentlemen OF the Committee also
state that they are giving the men the
equivalent in provisions o! 81. 80 whereas
their slips call for but 81 a day. They
are enabled TO do this by marking all
their goods at wholesale prices and
giving Sl.20 worth OF provisions for
ticket.

SAND HILL DEMOCRACY.

Major stcdman ArouSeS Great En-
th,I>iaem- Reeds Convincing Talk.
SAND HILL, n. c., Oct. 20.-There was
Il la1gc turn out of the voters here to-
day. About all the leading men of Lower
Homry township were present. Mr..
Burrham was called to the stand first OF
the legislative candidates. He seemed to
be conscious that he was looked upon
with suspicion. He was bitter towards
THE CITIZEN. but said he loved Mr.. Reed
ike brother. He is evidently sick and
tired of the fight. After Burnham closed
Mr.. Nj. L. Reed took the floor. He
makes no pretcntOn to oratory. but
makes a sensible and impressive speech.
He showed up he records of the parties
in a clear, concise and effective way, and
the logic of his facts elected loud ap-
plausc. The sincerity OF his manner in
spires confidence and makes friends. He
is an honest man and & strong man.
The next speaker, Maj. Westall, is a
man that many have always admire.
for his intellect, his boldness and inde-
pendcncc. After defining his position in
this campaign, he scathinsly denounced
the pretended prohibtionist who had
acted the traitor to the cause of Prohibi-
ton and attempted to deliver his. the Ma
jor's, party to the Republicans. With
fire and vchemence he told Burnham
that he was Judas. who for the hope
of getting to the legislature had be-
trayed his cause and proved false to
every trust; that he was the adopted
child of the Republican party and didn't
have sense enough to know it.
Major. Stedman's speech was mag
nificent for argument, humor, pa
thos, sarcasm and cloquepce. 1t
could not be surpassed. He ridicule
the position taken by Col. Lusk. He
withered him with his sarcasm. He ex-
posed his sophistries, and inspired the
crowd with wild enthusiasm. He and
the audience were in perfect sympathy
When Mai. Steadman closed there was
long and continued cheering. This speech
was a vote winner, and at the same
time one that stirred and aroused every
Democrat to greater energy and enthu
sasm.
After the cheering for Mai Steadmar
had in part subsided, Col. Lusk spoke
The Colonel is a strong man and goot
speaker, but he was hacked, and failct
to arouse any enthusiasm, either in him
self or his audience. The Colonel ha.
been driven from the discussion of tn,
issues between the two parties and nov
Jumps from one little thing to another
One of the issues with him in the cam
paign is, whether Frank Wells shall hau
slop from the convict camp. He devote
all of his time to the discussion of sucl
questions as this. Col. Lusk is whippe,
and he realizes it.
This was great victory for Demo
Gratis as will be seen when the return
come In, in November.

GOOD ROADS.
Letter to Geo. -. Powell From l.. G..

Letter To Geo. -. l'OWtIl i rom l.. Il.
Harrison of New Jersey.
Chairman Geo. S. Powell of the Bun
combe Good Roads committee has re-
ceived letter from Postmaster Z. G..
Harrison Of Asbury Park, y. l., with
whom the delegation formed such a
pleasant acquaintance on the New Jersey
trip. Mr.. Harrison, who is the head of
the firm of E. G. Harrison & Son, road
engineers, writes Mr.. Powell that he
read the very interesting road report in
THE CITIZEN, and continues: II iudae
your soil is something like that in Penn
svlvania, where have instructed roads
IS feet wide and one foot thick for from
$4,000 to SO 900 mile. Here we find
foundation stone plenty in fields
and farmers glad to get rid of them. If
you construct yOur roads by labor
furnished by the county, aud competent
superintendent, you can easily change
the construction to meet the conditions.
This is great advantage, as We often
times do not know the conditions until
we make our cuts IN grading. The su,-
face may look all right, but the cut will
develop springs and often very differ.
ent soil. Again, in passing over hills, as
you mention, it may be found that dress
ing and shaping the roads is all that is
necessary.
IL notice that in the report YOU 90 not
say anything about the crown OF the
road and the grade from crown to sides,
Ne have no fixed rule in regard to that,
In no case should the grade be less
than u to /, that is, if the roadbed
is level. But on the grades the slope or
grade should always be greater from
center to side bitches than the long
itudinal grade Of the road-that is, il
the latter should be per cent. the former
should be 6 to s per cent. If your road
is not constructed in this way the water
will follow the roadbed, and il there
should be ruts, heavy rains will wash ou'
the small stones, and repairs will be con.
siderably increased.
You speak OF constructing a sampl,
road. This is good idea, and it might
be that you could select road where q
variety of conditions could be met. Ii
can be of any service to you would be
pleased to do so. would certainly lik,
to see the sample eroad-'a good sample. -
