ANOTHER RUSSIAN STROKE.

Russia has effected another clever stroke
with the Bank Of France. which has
agreed to receive Russian bonds and issue
them against Bank OF France certificates.
The Russian Treasury thus receives the
all-powerful aid OF the French bank. and
through 1t will he able to dispose Of Rus
sian stock all over France. Nothing has
been heard OF Russian return for the
concession. except an order that the Bank
Of Russia shall accept French bark-notes

COAL SHIPPING POINT

Is What Wheeling May Become in the
Future.
There was one feature of the discus
sion regarding the river improvement
convention, and the Wheeling & Con-
nellsville railroad, that deserves more
than passing notice. 1t was limited that
Wheeling may become a coal shipping
point in the future, Independent of the
success or failure Of the project to make
the Ohio navigable for twelve months
in the year. There appears to be very
good grounds for the hope that a new
and very important industry may be
established here.
Several speakers, at the meeting Of
the Chamber of Commerce, dwelt upon
the fact that the completion Of the pro-
jected railroad would provide shorter
and cheaper route for the shipment Of
coal to the Southern markets. The
same facilities for loading coal into
barges, as exists in Pittsburg, could be
provided in Wheeling. The Connells-
vile operators could load the coal into
their own cars, and send it direct to
Wheeling. to be transferred to barges,
thereby doing away with the necessity
for following the sinuous course of the
river from Pittsburg to this city, and
obviating the delay and danger associ-
ated with the transportation of coal by
steamboats, above this city.

Jacob Blair, Who lives in Wetzel
county, near New Martinsville, was in
formed Wednesday by telegram, Of
the death of his mother, a patient in
the Hospital for the Insane at Weston.
He directed that the remains be sent
home for interment. Yesterday morn
ing a casket, enclosed in rough box,
was put off the train at New Martins
vile, and taken to the home Of Mr..
Blair.
All arrangements had been complet-
ed for funeral services in the German
Church at Lew!stone, and the many
friends of the family gathered at the
house to take last look at the features
of the deceased. The hearse was ready
to receive the casket, and carry it to
the Church The lid was removed 70
permit the family and friends to view
the body. To the surprise and conster-
nation of all, the body was that of a
young woman, whose features bore not
the slightest resemblance to those Of
Mrs. Blair. Mrs. Blair was in her
10th year at the time of her death,
while the body in the casket was that
of woman of 80 or 80. The members
of the family were very much distress
ed at the discovery.
The body was said to resemble Mrs.
Sheepbach, who was a patient at the
hospital. Mr.. Sheepbach was sent for
but did not identify the remains. The
remains were then sent. back on the
evening train to Weston, via Parkers-
burg.
The manner IN which the mistake
was made could not be learned last
night, owing to the fact that the tele-
graph Office in Weston was not open
after six O'clnck

There was a poor attendance at the
meeting Of the Chamber of Commerce
last night, but the members made up
in enthusiasm what was lacking N
numbers. The meeting was called for
Tie purpose Of appointing a delegation
to represent this city at the Ohio river
improvement convention, in Cincinna-
t. The discussion on this subject nat
urally brought out the Wheeling and
Connelsville railroad project, and it was
considered with a he9rt.ness and en-
thus.asm which promises good results
in the near future. Indeed, the iniJia-
tory steps were taken toward the or
ganizatiOn Of a company 10 construct
the railroad.
The meeting was called TO order by
President Hullihen Quarter, who, in
stating its object, took occasion to say
that the Improvement Of the Ohio river
is q subject which concerns the COM
munity as much as any one matter
which has been brought TO the atten-
ton of the people Of Wheeling. He
called upon Capt. DOvener and the
Captain told the history Of the move
ment on the part OF the Cincinnati
Chamber Of Commerce, and its OBJECTS.
From the fact that every community,
along the river, is earnestly at work,
he regarded the time as very favorable
for action. The Captains views in re-
gard to the matter We're published n
an interview, in the Register, few
days ago. ,
President Quarter said that, in his
opinion, if the Ohio river could be SO
improved as to make it n3vigable dur
ing the entire year, Wheeling would
derive as much, or more benefit, than
any other city. II would certainly
stimulate the construction of the
Wheeling and Connelsville road, for the
reason that Wheeling was a more adj
vantageous point from which 70 ship
coal. than PitCsburg. The entire mat
ter was Of the greatest Importance, and
ne regretted the small attendance.
Capt. Dovener stated that Governor
MacCOrkle would be present. and he
thought Senator Elkins should be urg-
ed to attend the meeting. Several gen.
tlelnen took part in the discussion, all
favoring the idea of sending a delega-
tion, and dwelling upon the import
ance OF the movement.
Upon Hon. n. B. SCOTS motion, a
committee was appointed, consisting of
the following named gentlemen:
Capt b. 3. DOvener. Hon. n. B. Scott,
W. A. Wilson, c. A. Schafer, c. B.
