The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1894-11-26


Mr.. James Nave (of Navc, McCord &
Co. here) tells an amusing incident Of
his first acquaintance With Mr.. Lamb,
who, when Mr.. Nave was q student at
Bethany in 1861, was the youthful pay
ing teller OF tho old Northwestern bank.
1t seems that tho youthful Nave pre-
sented draft from homo on tho east,
to the youthful teller and requested
current funds therefor whereupon q
colIoouy arose rs to the matter OF iden-
tifcation. Crhe two youths did not
know each other then as well as they did

bly, impressed with tho far western
STYLE Of the Misaourian, yet he gently
but persistently remarked that tho rules
of the bank required Identification. So
what was to DO done? Tho situation
was embarrassing, especially TO the
man who wanted the money. It was "a
groundhog case" on his part, OF money
or no meat. So squaring himself back,
and looking the teller full in the face,
he remarked thus to him: "Mr. Lamb,
this draft Is all right, and I'm all right,
and II you don't believe it take me into
that back room aud examine my name
on my underwear" The teller was
caught at once with the originality of
this sort OF Identification and promptly
asssnted to tho offer, and after the

student from Missouri got his draft

Decides That Nothing Can Be

Kolbites have called halt.
Captain Kolb will not play Governor
any more for several months at least
A caucus OF the leaders Of the party
was held this afternoon for the purpose OF
determining how much longer the farce
should be continued.
The DILL providing punishment for pc
litical usurpers will become a law early
next week, and hence the emergency on
the part of Kolbs friends for early ac-
tion.
IL is said that in caucus many counseled
such action, but the Conservative element,
however headed by Senator Goodwin, ar,
gued against any such proceedings, and
contended that the mock assumption OF au-
thority could not effect anything what
ever.
A compromise resolution was finally In
troduced and prevailed.
1t provides in effect that the pretense OF
assumption OF authority be dropped until
it is seen what the Legislature Will DO
toward passing an election contest.
If they fail TO do so, the resolution orders
that another State convention will be held.
1t will be some three months before the
Legislature will have completed It's laoors
and adjourned, and hence the dual govern
ment will rest for that time at least.

TRINITY rENEmENrs.
Evidence Presented Before the New
York Commission.

New York. December S.-The tenement
house commission has resumed It's near
ings. Colonel Cruger was on the stand,
and testified that certain property leased
by the Trinity church corporation on
ground rent which had been reported on
adversely oy the commissions inspectors
was in good condition, clean and habit
aole. He thought the reports greatly ex-
aggerated.
"The corporation ITSELF" the Colonel
went on, "is constantly putting up new
buildings-factories and tenements-and
has spent Sl5, ,0O0. 900 in the past ten years
for this purpose The gross income Of the
corporation is about 5000, 900 a year. or
that sum about half goes for the mainte-
nance of the church and its chapels. $780,
900 for charity, taxes and general repairs,
and the remainder, 100000, is the avail
aole building fund. New buildings are
put up as fast as possible, and the build
ings demolished are naturally those which
are the oldest and least habitable."

rate, advocating reduction in the poorer
districts aud a corresponding increase IN

as air. Premium should not be placed
upon uncleanliness by charging in proper

be made to pay more than tenements so
called. The city is making 300 per cent.
profit on its water; il should not make a
cent. II should supply it certainly al cost
and it might not De going too far 20 say
that it should supply il At less than cost,
