A PITIABLE CASE.
RELIEF GIVEN TO TWO DESTITUTE CHILDREN
YESTERDAY
At Hsaafarisrs-Scarcsly Enough Clothing to
hide Thsir Naksinsss--A Number Of
Donations Received.

II the charitably disposed citizens Of
wheeling had been present at the relief
headquarters yesterday afternoon, they
would have witnessed a sight which
would have tempted them TO loosen
their purse strings more frequently.
Two children, boy and Girl, each
about five years or age, who have been
attending services at the Hearne Taber-
nacle on South street, were brought up
TO the store by Rev. BArtlebaugh, who
has charge OF the evangelistic work
there.
Both children were clad in rags The
boy wore pair OF trousers which had
seen service for several years, appar-
emily, and rough service too, judging
from the numerous patcses which
adorned them, all Of different colored
cloth originally, but al OF one color
now-black. The girl was also poorly
clad. and both shivered from the cold

them out with shoes. When they throw
away the miserable articles which bare.
ly covered their feet, IL was found
that the stockings worn by both
children were minus the
feet, and showed large rents
In other parts. They were then given
new stockings. As the Investigation
proceeded, the condition OF the chill
dren was found to be even worse, and
the suggestion OF one committeeman
TO give them entire outfits, was acted
upon. The little lad was stripped 10
tho skin, furnished with warm under
wear, waist aud trousers, new shoes
and stockings, aud q natty cap. There
were no dresses TO fit the girl, but she
was supplied with underwear, aud a
wooden hood. Their faces were black.
and the bright little girl explained that
I'VE haven't enough soap at home TO
wash our faces, let alone our feet"
Each carrying bar OF soap, they
walked from the back room, surveying
each other with critical eyes, and both
little countenances radiant with the
happiness they made no effort TO con-
Two happier children never walked
down Market street. Persons who were
present while the transformation was
being wrought were much affected by
the example of distress aud misery.
Yesterday was busy day at head
quarters. When the store closed last
night, about $50 orders for provisions
and clothing had been filed, swelling
the total OF cases so far relieved TO 1, 3O3.
The following contributions were re-
ceized: Anonymous contributor, u
bushels OF potatoes; j. l.. Hawley g. Co.,

WOULD HAVE BEEN pARDoNED.


An Effort TO free John Meredith which
Would Have succeeded In = short limo.
Deputy United States Marshal Gar
den arrived nome from Washington,
yesterday, where he has been for sew
eral days watching tho Legislators logis-
late, and greeting bic many friends
about the Capital. He was accom-
panied on portion OF the trip By
Judge Jackson, and when they reached
Baltimore they saw in Baltimore
John ". Meredith. They were both
astonished and sorry at the
news, for both had been making earnest
efforts 10 secure the pardon for Mere
ditb. Mr.. Garden had Interested him
self ia the matter, and bad brought "
20 the attention OF Judge Jackson and
General Watts. all Of whom had written
letters 20 Attorney General Il. II. Olney,
presenting the facts ~ the case and ask
Ing for an unconditional pardon. The
papers had been sent 20 the Depart
ment Of Justice, and favorable re.
port was expected 10 short time.
The successful effort by Meredith at
self-dsstructiOn probably anticipated
By bot a few days his pardon. Mr.
Garden bad notified Meredith some
time ago Of the effort being made In
his behalf, but notwithstanding this
the prisoner proceeded with his deter
mInation 90 end his life.
Mr. Garden has been an interested
observer Of the fight being made for
the passage Of the tariff bill, aud has
closely observed the conditions now e1.
isting in both Senate and House re-.
speeding that measure.

he Riverside and Other Plans

Following closely upon the resump.
tion OF operations at the Riverside

The Information comes Officially from
the manager and Russell Hubbard.

Iron Company.
Orders have been given to have the

although the exact date for tho re-
sumption is not defnitely fixed. IL il
certain that II will not be much over u
week or two weeks at the most. The
mill, Including the furnace and fac
tory, employs four hundred men. The
furnace, which gives employment, TO
one hundred and City persons, has
been shut down since last May.
Since that time the furnace, and In
fact, the whole mill has been greatly
improved. The furnace has been re.
lined and the machinery about the
plant put In irst class shape. with the
improvements the output from the mill
Will be Increased about % per cent.
Since the furnace closed down the fac
tory department has had very I'M
steady run. The mill is now ready for
a start, with the exception OF stock OF
ore, coke and limestone. To get these
materials will require several days.
A REGISTER reporter called at Presi-
dent Hubbard's residence last night.
That gentleman stated that tho entire
mill would be put In operation In the
near future. He stated that some ore
was already on hand at the furnace,
and that more will arrive every DAY.
The news will be hailed with delight by
the hundreds who have been lido SO
long.

triyance is designed TO do away with
the services of these men.
IL Is understood that the officials
made this demand Of tho men yoster-
day. and threatened, in the event Of a
refusal, to tear down the furnaces. AS
three turns are contrary 90 rule Of
the A. A. OF !. & s. W., a meeting Of
the men was held In Martins Ferry yes

sNAKE-BEARING APPLE TREES.
A Remarkable Occurrence in Mich
igan Orchard.

A Remarkable Occurrence in Mich
igan Orchard.
The Pioneer is aware that this is the
proper season of the year for fish"
and also snake" stories, and that al
most anything from ten-pouud
speckled trout to 6-nch whale, or a
hairy lizard to a boa constructor passes
current without question. But it is said
truth is stranger than fiction, and the
facts herein related leave no chance
for argument on this point, unless it be
from natural history or scientific
standpoint, says the Vassar, Mich,
Pioneer.
Last Saturday Rev. j. r. Robinson,
United Brethren pastor in this place,
and his wife spent the day with Nathan
Sherman, a farmer of Fairgrove town
ship: During the day Mr.. Sherman in
vited the reverend gentleman to go
with him to the orchard, where very
remarkable spectacle was presented to
his view. From the limbs of number
OF apple trees were suspended large
number of small snakes, from five to
eight inches in length. The snakes
were dead, and each had a small per-
the neck, by which they were hung on
to the tiny stubs or sprouts projecting
from the limbs. They were hanging
from all parts of the trees, from the
very tips of the topmost branches to
the lowest, and furtherest reaching.
On one tree alone, Mr.. Robinson said
he counted thirty snakes thus sus-
pended, while it was claimed that farm
ers' children had knocked off nearly
as many more, which was evidenced
by the fact that large number Of
the snakes were lying on the ground
under the tree. The snakes were all of
the common garter" variety, and with
the exception of one, which was about
two feet in length, were small.
1t was a very remarkable sight, and
Mr.. Robinson says he is inclined to
leave the strange phenomenon for
naturalists to speculate on. In answer
to the question if it was possible for
some persons to have placed the rep
tiles there, he said he was thoroughly
convinced no human hands could have
done it. In the first place where could
how could they have suspended them
from tiny branches at the highest
points, hardly strong enough to bear
the weight. Mr.. Robinson also said
that Mr.. Sherman was at first quite
superstitious in regard to the matter,
and seemed impressed with the feeling
that it might portend some impending
calamity
The Pioneer does not pretend to be
cup" on snakeology, but we will ven
ture an explanation that if the matter
is ever solved it will be found to have
been the work of some bird, possibly OF
the woodpecker species. 1t is said to
:be q fact in natural history that in
tropical regions a certain bird, when
ever it finds small snake, will per-
iorate it with it's bill and kill it, after
which it will impale the body on thorn
of thornapple tree.
