THE WINTRY WEATHER.
sleisus are Much in Demand While
it Continues.
A CONSTANT PROCESSION OF THEM
Along the Pike Saturday aud Yester.
DEVASTATING pn the River and
Greeks also Very PopuIAr-The Ice
Dealers Begin to Harvest the Crop
while It Lasts.

The old.fashioned winter has lasted
pretty we'll, and last night another snow
set in, which indicated that the snow
fall might equal in the aggregate that oil
1884. The sleighing is something
rarely fine for this locality. Saturday
and yesterday apparently every avail
able sleigh in the town or county was
out, and there was almost steady pro-
cession OF cutters and sleds on all the
good roads. A large number of parties
we're out taking STRAW rides" in big
sleds, and everybody was apparently
disposed to make the most Of the sport
while it lasted.
Liverymen charge s. an hour, general.
ly, for a single hour for one-horse
sleigh, and 8 an hour after the first
hour. A two-horse, doubIe.seated
sleigh can be hired for s. All hour.
These prices are cut often, too. They
seem little high. but when it is re-
hected that liveryman's investment in
this line lies idle on an average at least
eleven months out of the year, and that
O horse drawing sleigh is pretty sure
to be more or less abused, they are not
80 much beyond reason. 1t is doubtful
il it pays to keep sleiehs for hire. 1t
certainly does not for use, and there are
a number Of stylish cutterS for sale at
remarkably low figures.
More skating was done on the river
by Martins Ferry people on Saturday
than for many day. Hundreds we're
out again yesterday. One Wheeling
boy broke through the leo near the
Buckeye glass works on Saturday. lie
got out all right. On all the creeks. too,
there were numerous skaters yesterday.
all the way up Wheeling creek the
stream was lined, except at two or three
places where ice.cutting has already
begun. The ice is very firm and about
six inches thick, and for ordinary cool
ing purposes will be all that could be
desired. A great deal of it has already
been stored, aud much more will be If
the cold snap continues a day or two
longer.
So far the coasting has not been good.
although number OF young people
were persisteutly at it Saturday aud
yesterday. The snow Is too loose and
the tracks too heavy to get up any
speed, aud until there is a thaw or two.
followed by freezing weather. there will
be no track to speak OF, even on the
steepest streets.

AFTER THE STOLEN MONEY.

Shoe and Leather Bank Plans-En0rts to
Obtain Eviden to Recover from the
Baker Estate.
New York, Dec. 30.-James L. Bishop,
counsel for the Shoe and Leather Bank,
has for several days been visiting the
Ludlow street Jail, where, with assist
ance OF one OF tho banks bookkeepers
and Samuel G. seely, minute examina-
tfon OF the banks books is being made.
with the view Of obtaining evidence on
which some OF the stolen money can be
recovered from the Baker estate.
In addition TO helping in stralchten-
ing out the accounts by correcting tho
false entries, Sesly has practically made
deposition giving the details OF his
own crime and OF Baker s completely.
The fact has been developed that
Baker did not deposit cent in the bank
during the last three years, while he
drew out thousands, and the whole
amount Of his deposits since the steal
ing began did not exceed 5000.
The story that Seely had made q
statement duplicating a number OF
other persons was denied by every ono
interested yesterday. seely will be
taken to the Kings county penitentiary
on next Wednesday.

A Calendar Worth Having.

Almost everyone has use for calen-
dar, and by tho same token, they ought
to have one that is Of some use. A cal.
endar that you have to study or "set"
has little excuse for existence.
The one we like best OF all is that
published by N. ". Aver & Son, the
Newspaper Advertising Agents OF Phil
adelphia.
The handsome copy for 1895 carries
on its seal their famous motto, Keep.
ing Everlastingly At 1t Brings Success"
which will alone each day be worth to
all who use it far more than the price OF
the calendar. The size is generous, and
the work beautiful specimen OF the
printers art. Each day, as is becom-
Ing to such an important slice OF time.
ia printed large enough to be read
across room. Then too. the matter
on the flaps deals with a subject in
which there is q growing general inter-
est.
That the demand for this calendar in
creases each year, We can easily under
stand, for we do not believe that any.
one who has spent one year in company
with it, will be willing to spend another
without 1t.
The price lie % cents. delivered every.
where post paid, and in perfect condi-
ton.

 Every cyclist who is a gentleman, and those in Rockville all are, acknowledge Newton as the fastest man in the county or state, is proud of him as such, appreci- ate the fact that he is the right sort, and wish him continued uccess.-Rock0ille Journal.
 We are glad to see the press of New England, and especially of Connecticut, beginning to recognize Newton's ability as 8 rider. On labor day, at Charter Oak park, in addition to capturing the state championship, he made mile on slow track in nearly record time. None of the Hartford papers commented on his riding, nor did they seem to appreciate the fact that in the man from Holland county they beheld a rider of unusual promise. New ertheless, c. R. Newton is a rider of whom Stafford Springs is justly proud. He is nothing but boy yet; next year we expect to see him win more than the state championship. Newton, i've looks to- wards you and we likewise bows."
 Two women have interfered in the course of paper run by men, and in a way that will be generally applauded. The paper is the Chicago Times, in which the late Carter Harrison owned the prin- cipal interest, the paper being run, nomi- nally, by his two sons. At his death his share fell to his two sons and two daugh- ters. The former ran the paper and bid loudly for the favor of the lawless ele- ment.' It was on the side of the strikers last summer even when they were con- mitting or melting violence. The sisters could do nothing but protest, until they had an idea. It was to transfer their in- terest to another stockholder, who then obtained controlling vote, and now the male Harrisons are out, and the paper is expected to become respectable.
