Detective Barring, of Wilkes Barre, who has
been at work on the mysterious Meralo murder
case, has finally located the assassin in Itlay
and today has finished gathering the evidence,
which has been sent to Itlay, where Meralo
will be tried. The murder was committed in
Lackawanna county some time ago Meralo
went into barber shop and while there the
barber asked him to pay bill of 10 cents for
work he had done for him. Meralo drew a re-
volver from his pocket, pointed it at the barber
and fired, the shot killing the victim instantly.
The murderer fled, and though expert detec-
tives were placed on the case, he was not
located until recently

LIE Gendre by Name.
It is not generally known that some
of the most important government
Offices in Corea are held by American
citizens and that for years American
influence there has overshadowed that
Of Ill other countries, even that Of
China and Japan. One of the most
prominent and interesting figures in
Corea is that of Gen. Charles w. lie
Gendre, who, during the civil war,
commanded New York regiment.
Soon after the war he was sent to
Annoy as consul general, and there dis
tinguished himself as diplomatist. 1t
is well known that later he commanded
the military operations in the campaign
against Formosa. In 1867 he gave up
his Office and went to Japan, where he
arrived at the beginning of the great
civil war, during which the mil1ado
and the shogun fought for supremacy
to the bitter end. Many believe that

Peculiar Occurrences During Revival =
mcMecheu.

EoCuilar occurrence DueAn8 = -
mcMechen.
Yesterday this paper told Of the great
revival services being held at the Church
OF God. McMechen, by the PASTOR Rev.
Campbell.
Last Saturday night, during the pro-
gress OF great revival there, when the
little church was packed by eager lis
teners, q man went into q trance aud
remained perfectly unconscious LOT
nearly eighteen hours. :,
Joseph Johns, a young man, wen
known carpenter, is the name OF the
man over whom the strange spell came.
He has been a regular attendant at the
meetings, and about $3.50 o'clock on the
night named he became unconscious ano
fell 10 the floor. This created great ex-
element. The young man was carried
to the home OF John Campbell, barber
of McMechen. Here friends watched
over him, and not till two o'clock Sun
day afternoon did he regain conscious
ness.
That evening he was in attendance at
the meetings as usual. In the midst Oh
a spiritual revival he arose and told
that he had been in heaven during MS
trance. The audience sat spell-oound
by his words. He is young man OF
limited education, but in his remarks
there was shown a remarkable power
over language, his words showing
a beauty of diction that surprised all.
In sentences, we'll chosen, he told of the
celestial city and what he mad seen
there.
These meetings are continuing, and
unparalleled interest is being shown and
is rapidly increasing.

the Disputed Point.

Tho Wheeling Team Presents It's SldO on
the Disputed Point.
To thu Editor of the REGISTER:
SIR:-The article appearing in Sun
day paper signed Martins Ferry Foot
Ball Player" is replete with falsehood
and misstatements from beginning to
end.
Mr.. Irwin gave only facts to Mr..
Upton, and his only desire in publish
ing the Upton letter" was to show
that he was right when he contended
that the play in question was "off side"
Martins Ferry based their point on
the fact or rule Gas they understoodl
that the ball was any ones
when out of bounds, and that
there are no on side or off side plays in
such case. That is the point they rails
ed on the field Since looking up the
rules they have discovered that they
were wrong, and are now advancing
the point that Mr.. Edwards put them
on the on side by running forward.
Why didn't they say something about
Mr.. Edwards on the day Of the game,
as Wheeling insisted, as they now In
sist, that the disputed play was an off
side one? At that time they only
quoted Washington, or rather Washing
toms play, and did not say anything
about Edwards being crushed forward
by Smith"
Only since reading the Upton letter
have they mentioned any play by Smith
or Edwards bearing on the question,
and we at least are forced to believe
that they are now aware that their posi-
tion is untenable and must be aband-
oned, hence this talk about Messrs.
Edwards and Smith putting them on
side
AS think 1 have shown the point
advanced on the field by Martins Ferry
and that now maintained is entirely diff
ferent while we raise the same kick as
on the day of the game.
Martins Ferry in their letter say they
are the origlpators of this so-called
trick" but on the field they gave
Washington as the parent Another
thing, we did not attempt to prove the
game ours, as stated in the Martins
Ferry letter. One OF our players, In
talking TO a reporter, said we would In
all probability have won or at least tied
the score, judging from the work i'm
mediately succeeding the questionable
play.
We are sorry our desire to publish the
truth should have given so much an
noyance to Martins Ferry. Sorrier are
We that we can't promise not to DO it
again.

The main discussion OF the evening
was brought about by the item in the

loeb, either by night or by day, reciting
that the ward was entitled 20 its quota
OF police. and asking for relief.
The discussion was opened by Mr..
Richards, who thought the petition had
hardly stated the situation. The ward
had its proportion Of officers, but, as he
understood it, they were on duty either
on Market street, or on McCulloeh.
Chief McNichOls was inquired Of, and
said it was absolutely necessary TO
keen Two men on Market
street, IS the main thorough
fare of the central portion Of the city.
They incidentally looked out for Main
and Water streets from Twelfth 10 the

night around the Hill. The two Fourth
ward night men had all the territory
they could properly cover, from Market
street east 20 Manch ester, and the day
man had the whole ground on his
hands. He did not see how be could
put any one Cd duty in the interior of
the Third ward either by day or night
without drawing officers from other
wards. ThAday man in the Third had

In his report the Chief called the at
tention of the Committee to- the bad
condition OF the Atlantic engine house,
which is now hardly fit for occupancy,
and suggested that the present building
be replaced with a new one. He also
recommended that some action be taken
looking toward the establishment Of q
hose house In that portion Of the city
known as "around the hill" in the East
End. That portion of the city is grow
ing very rapidly, and the nearest fire
station at present is the Atlantic. The
eastern portion of the city is in danger,
owing to insufficient fire protection.
The report states that the apparatus
and appliances of the department are
all in first class condition, with the ex-
ception OF the Niagara engine, and the
hose now in use, which is in bad shape.
The Chief recommends the purchase Of
4. 600 feet of new hose, six miles OF In
sulated wire. and one mile of "Okanite"
wire for boxes.
The Chiefs ideas as to new buildings
we're presented in detail In the REGISTER
some weeks ago. The Committee gen.
orally recognizes the situation, and will
probably make some recommendation to
Council in the near future.
