BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

Boston. March 2O.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow of the wool trade:
The reported strength of the mar
kets abroad has not yet been reflected
in any appreciable way here. Prices,
though not quotably higher, however,
certainly are steadier, and although
trade has ruled very quiet, manufac-
turers have found it impossible to
obtain concessions in value from those
current a week ago. Wool is low in
comparison with other staple articles
and it is lower than anywhere else.
The business of the past week has
been OF retail character, very few
good sized lots having been moved.
The aggregate of transactions, In fact
is even less than that Of last week.
1t Is beginning to be believed, even
by some Of those who had been looking
for further decline in values, that
wool has got-to a point where the bot
tom can be felt, and that any further
change in values will be upward rather
than in a downward direction.
The sales for the week amounted to
1926 900 pounds domestic and $4,000
pounds foreign, making a total OF
1.797 900 pounds, against a total Of
1897 200 pounds for the previous week
and 2,912,500 pounds for the corre-
spending week last year The sales
since January l amount to 34,Si6,050
pounds, against total of 2S,S32, 100
pounds a year ago.

Special to the Register
Washington, d. c.. March 20.-There
is good deal of feeling here over the
action OF Judge Miller. Of the District
Police Court, in sentencing Ira Great
house and ]. O. Wheeler, of West Nir-
ginia, TO six months in Jail each for
their connection with the green goods
cases that recently came to light III
this city. Greathouse and Wheeler
came here to catch the green goods men
at their own game and after their ar
rest they supposed that they would be
let go, because they had frustrated the
game; but in this they were mistaken.
Judge Miller said that ii there had
been a meeting some one would no
doubt have been killed, and character
lied the affair as one of the most dia-
bOlical schemes that had ever come TO
his notice
Wheeler was not much affected by
the sentence. for he had served time
before, but Greathouse went back to
his cell and cried like child. He is
a merchant at Hyer, w. Va. and per-
sons in this city came forward 10 give
evidence concerning his good charac-
ter. An effort is now being made to
have Judge Miller impose a fine in the
case instead of a Jail sentence.

THE POPE'S SPEECH.
The Ecclesiastical Laws Of Hungary
DenOunced-The Relation Between
the Church and the Italian Nation.

Rome, March 2o-The Pope during
the course of the speech which he made
at the consistory on Monday last after
denouncing the ecclesiastical laws Of
Hungary, said that although the Ital-
ian Bishops received State recognition,
he could not consider the Papal posi-
ton TO have been changed.
Continuing His Holiness said that
the present position was unworthy Of
the Italian nation as. in view OF the
sacredness Of it's rights and its con-
ception Of it's duties, the Papacy could
never accept the situation.
in conclusion Jhe Pope said: we
shall continue unremiJtingly to claim
The legitimate recognition of the Apos-
tolic Ministry and the rights of the
Holy See"

INTERESTING QUESTION.
INVOLVED IN THE MMECHEN.
BENWOOD FIGHT.
Jurisdiction Over a
Piece of Territory Which is
Claimed by Both-Ac-
ton of BenwOod.

The municipalities of Benwood and
McMechen are engaged in a contro-
versy regarding jurisdiction over ter
ritory which is claimed by both, and
which will require a decision OF the
Courts to determine. The efforts of
residents of McMechen to have the
Dlace incorporated as a town, are ia
miliar to the public. When the pro-
iect was first suggested, the Council OF
Benwood decided to take steps toward
extending the southern limit OF that
city. whereas, on the other hand, the
proposed incorporation Of McMechen
would extend north TO the then south
line of BenwoOd.
Residents of McMechen were the
first to take action in the matter. AT
a session of the Circuit Court held IN
Moundsyille, a petition was presented
for the Incorporation OF the town,
which was fought determinedly by the
opposition. The Court, nevertheless,
granted the prayer of the petitioners.
The next move on the part OF the
Benwood people was to secure the pass
age through the last Legislature, OF a
bin extending the southern limit of
the city of Benwood, from the Junction
to McMechen Run. This piece of land
is therefore claimed by both munich
palities.
Yesterday morning at ten o'clock the
Council of Benwood held a meeting TO
take action in the matter. A resolu-
ton was. passed directing that notice
IS nfnA nhn~
to the effect that the city Of Benwood
will not be responsible for any inn
provements made north of McMechen
tsun. The paper was drawn up by
Caldwell .& Caldwell, attorneys for the
city. and was served about five O'Clock,
by County Constable Charles Sprouts

Tillis Only Blind.
Special to the REGISTER
Parkersburg. ". Va. March %
The Tillis-Frye scandal is just now
assuming interesting proportions, and
some new developments have come
to light.
The girl, Anna Frye, who made
sworn statement when first located in
Marietta, now denies any knowledge
of ever having made statement TO
the officers.
Lee Logan was given another hear
ing to-day and was released, as 1t
was shown that he was in no way
connected with the charges of NAL
practice on which Mrs. Wheeler is
now held, but he was put under bond
to appear at the preliminary hearing
of Mrs. Wheeler tomorrow.
1t is rumored that young Tillis is
not the guilty party, and that he has
been used as a blind" by others. He
told the officers when first arrested,
that he had furnished the house and
had given Mrs. Wheeler money for
her services to the Frye girl. AS
Tillis is known to have received only
so month, his friends claim that
others are putting up the cash. Tiilis
also offered the Frye girl $3.50 to
leave and was 6lown to have plenty
of money when he skipped out.
