Can you bring a message OH fair, white dove

Oh tell us, If all is so fair and bright,

NO CHANGE IN TIE SITUATION ACROSS fHs

Both Sides Remain Firm-A Benefit FOR the

There is nothing new to report In the
strike situation across the river. Both
sides are firm and apparently deter
mined to hold out for some time. The
engines in the power house in West
Wheeling have stopped running, and
apparently no effort will be made TO
operate the cars during the next day or
two at least. Manager j. K. Jolly

of some of the strikers, he brought

NEARING THE CLOSE.
TIE SERIES OF CHAMPIONSHIP BOWLING
GAMES ALMOST OVER.
The Most Exciting Games Of the Season to Be
Played Tonight as Upon Them Nay
Depend the Champiunship-Gsnsral
Local Sporting Nsws.

The interest which has been mani
tested during the last fourteen weeks
in the championship games OF the
Wheeling Bowling League has reached
a climax, and the most exciting games
of the season will be bowled tonight on
the Wheeling Park alleys. The South
Side team and The Bowlers will be the
opposing teams, and while the South
Side has won more games than The
Bowlers, the latter have a splendid
average and will have the advantage OF
rolling on their home alleys.
The race for championship is between
the South Side and the Columbia teams,
with, the chances slightly in favor Of
the former. So far the South Side has
won one more game than the Column
bias, and each has two 10 play. The
Columb bias game with the Calumsts,
scheduled for last night, was postponed
until after to-night's games, and this
makes the interest more intense.
Should the South Side win both games
tonight the championship will be won;
should il lose both, the Columbias would
be one ahead, with two more games to
play; should the South Side win one
game and lose another. IL would then
be tied with the Columbus, with two
more games for the latter. The Column
bias have bowed better game than
the Cslumets, and the chances would be
in their favor in the last two games, so
that much depends upon to-night's
games, aid large crowd will witness
them.
Another interesting contest is the one
for fourth place, for which several
teams are promising candidates, and
upon which the six remaining games OF
the season will all have some bearing.
Tomorrow night the Columbi and
Calumets will bowl, and on Saturday
night the Intelligencer team and the
Wheeling Bowling Club will close the
season, unless there should be tie for
first place, when the most interesting
game OF the season, by far, would be
bowled for the championship next week
between the two high teams.
On Monday a meeting OF the Board OF
Directors of the League will be held at
which the protested games will come up
for consideration, and proposition
will also be made to close the season
with banquet at the time OF the pre-
sentation of prizes. Secretary Archer
is now busy making out the team aver
ages and individual averages OF all the
players. The average of the members
Of the Press CLUB team for the season
was 17S and OF the w. A. w. 1919.

HAS NOT YET AGREED.
FHE JURY has THg GROVES CASE BUT Is
STILL IN DOUBT.
The Result Win Probably Be Disagreement,
and the Third sTrial Will Be Followed By
4 a Fourlh-0ther Criminal Matters.

The third trial OF the Groves case
bids fair to end as did the preceding
one-in a disagreement Of the jury.
At O'Clock last night the case was
given to the jury, but as yet there has
been no verdict rendered. After reas-
enable time had been allowed for sup
per the court reeonvened, and SOON
after 7 o'clock the jury appeared, but a
look of disappointment came over the
faces OF the hundred or more persons
who had gathered to hear the verdict,
when the foreman made request OF
the court that some papers be given them
10 look over, which was done and
the men with whom rests the fate OF
William Groves went back TO their room
and q glance through an open door
showed most OF them in their shirt
sleeves, with feet cooked up reading
the daily papers.
Some fifty people gathered In the
court room, where Capt Dovener was
the centre OF a little group Of lawyers,
and waited patiently till nearly II
o'clock, when the jury was called In and
announced that they had not yet been
able to agree They were then turned
over to the tender mercies Of the Sheriff
and Court was adjourned till o'clock
this morning.
When the Court convened yesterday
morning Groves was still on the stand,
but gave no additional evidence of i'm
! portance.
Il. A. Whitson, who was brought here
from the penitentiary to testify in the
case, next took the stand. He testified
TO having seen the man who went by
the name of Brown or Stehn, and was
working under Groves. sign a bond,
which was in direct conflict with tho
testimony Of Brown, who had said that
he never signed any. Witness did not
think Groves knew the bonds were not
good. Neither did he think Groves
knew anything of the practice which
prevailed among persons In the COM
pany's employ OF working under as
sumed names. Re testified, though
this was ruled out, that in
every Office he had ever worked
in for this company, false signatures
b ad been attached TO receipts. Witness
had acted dishonesty with the COM
pany as far as witnesses to forged appli-
cations we're concerned. He stated that
from his experience with the company
in Allegheny not one out OF rs applica-
tions for agencies were genuine. When
shown the original Brown certificate he
said he supposed the signature was his,
and that probably he had also written
the name OF Groves on the application.
Groves's wife and son were on the
stand, and few other witnesses, who
gave no evidence Of Importance,
and at noon the court adjourned.
The afternoon was devoted to the argu-
ments, which were completed and the
case given to the jury at o'clock.

Bsuefit Of Wheeling Pottera

The potters OF Tiltonville did nobly
toward the relief OF the striking fellow
workmen of this city. Last Monday
aud Tuesday nights they gave a sue
cessful concert and ball, all the proceeds
Of which will go to the benefit Of the
striking potterS Of Wheeling. The net
sum is over 500, and will be forwarded
to the relief headquarters of the potters
OF this city. After the excellent con-
cert on Monday night, at which there
was a big crowd, filling the hall so that
many had to be turned away, the rooms
were cleared for the dance, and a season
of this form of amusement lasted until
early the following morning. On Tues
day night the hall was crowded also,
but no dance was held after the pro-
gramme, as the exercises were so many
and varied that the dance was prevent
ed. Many from this city attended, and
on the programme were Miles and Mes
bitt, who made decided hit with their
exercises. Daniel Coakley, one of the
Titonville potters, made great hit
also, in his club swinging. They may
arrange for another entertainment OF
the same kind.

Two Recent Robberies Reported from

The locality of Triadelphia is infest-

locality are kept on tho lookout for them
constantly.
Last Tuesday night there was a
wholesale chicken robbery there. Rich
ard Mosley keeps a hennery, and his
coops are distance Of about five hun
dred yards from his house. On the
night named the robbers broke the
door of the chicken house and took all
the fowls there were there, sixteen in
number. The thieving was not discov-
cred till in the morning, and there is
no clue. His loss will DO about So
The night before there was robbery
at the business place OF Davis & Kieger
In this case the thieves broke into the
corn crib, aud took from IL about ten

after this the same gang went to other
houses in the same locality and stole
more chickens, as fowls were missed

Great Interest Being shown Between
Elm Grove and Philadelphia.
Oae who knows the situation thor
oughly informs the REGISTER that there
is no doubt that the w. & Z. G. railroad
extension from Elm Grove TO Triadel-
phia, is certainty, il the free right OF
way is secured between the towns.
Surveyor Gill; Browne, in the employ OF
the company has a force OF men at
work surveying the line on the west
side OF the b. 81 o. as far as the tipple
of the Elm Grove Coal Company, where
it is the intention 10 bridge the creek
and strike the pike, il this route is de-
cided upon.
The people Of Elm Grove, however,
would rather have the extension to fol-
low the pike, as it would be much more
suitable TO them. The objection
to this route is that the 3 &
o. will have to be crossed
near Elm Grove depot, and 1t is thought
the trains will have to be delayed here
by reason Of the exchange Of freight
With the bright prospects OF the extern
sion it is said that real estate along the
proposed line has increased in value
about 25 per cent. within the last two
months, and the REGISTER has noted
that Pittsburg capitalists have come to
that locality and bought al least three
tracts OF land. One farmer in the i'm
mediate locality OF Triadelphis offers to
give three acres of his land, or one half,
il the company sill extend the line to
his place. This land be will give to the
company free II the read is extended TO

SQUIRE WIN. MANtoxs COURT.
An Intsresting Chicken Theft Case Tried
There Last Night.

Squire William ManiOn's South Side
court was crowded last night at the
hearing OF an interesting case. Cath
crime Glynn. had Charles Sekol arrested
for the alleged stealing Of two fine game
chickens. Both families live In one
house out Caldwell's run. A warrant
was sworn out for Mr.. Sekol. and Officer
Daniel O'Brien went out there last even
ing and arrested him, aud the hearing
came of little after dark.
There were FIVE witnesses, aud the
charges brought by the prosecutor could
not be sustained, aud the case was dis
missed at her cost. 1t appears that
both the families kept chickens, and
they got to running together. A son OF
the defendant, not knowing the differ
ence, sold the two fine games belonging
to Mrs. Glynn to one Of the neighbor
boys. The chickens were recovered and
brought into the court as evidence. By
reason OF this the hearing was not
without considerable merriment.
