Two or Three Additional Suspects in
Bridgeport-St. Clairsville Quarantined
Last Night-Aetion In Beilaire-Nothing
New In Martins Ferry.
The only noteworthy development at
Martins Ferry yesterday, was bad at
tack Of mendacity on the part OF the
editor Of the Times, who is at his cid
trick Of deliberately misrepresenting
the situation in this city. He stated
a number of things last evening which
have no foundation IN fact, one of them
being that there had been two cases
of small pOx on Wheeling Island the
past week. There was case there TWO
weeks and over ago, which was at once
taken to the hospital, and the patient
is now well. Another was found over
a week ago, the patient having con-
tTacJed the disease in Martins Ferry,
where she was employed. She viii be
released to-day. These cases were re-
moved from the city the same day they
were found, and there is now not a case
under treatment here, and there has not
been a case treated outside of the hos
p.tal for over two weeks. The city IS
entirely and wholly free and clean, and
the falsehOods and insinuations Of the
Martins Ferry Times should be duly
noted by Wheeling people.
In Bridgeport, yesterday, two men
were taken home by Marshal Stuff,
they showing symptoms of the disease
There are twelve we'll developed cases
now in that town, with two or three
others under surveillance. The Board
Of Health met yesterday and decided
not to allow public meetings of any sort,
but did not think the situation called
for the closing of the schools. A large
number Of citizens do not agree with The.
Board in this, however.
AT Bella.re the Board of Health met
and decided to prohibit all movings,
junk dealers, rag pickers, etc, from en-
tering the town from Bridgeport or
Martins Ferry. A resolution was also
adopted to the effect that Martins Fer
ry and Bridgeport societies intending
TO attend the funeral of w. n. Campbell
would net be allowed to do so in a body
The members Of organizations can 20
as individuals, however. The Board
will meet again at the call of the Mayor.
A quarantian against Bridgeport and
Martins Ferry was ordered at St. Cla!rs-
vile, yesterday, and went into effect at
midnight last night.
In our account yesterday, of the pri-
yate subscriptions raised at Martins
Ferry for the benefit of the Linn family.
the names of William Mann and his
employees, and Of the employees Of Spenca
q Son were unintentionally omitted.
There are eleven cases at Martins
Ferry, instead Of twelve, as stated yes
terday.

at the Hands Of Congress.

Washington, December 7.-An i'm
portant order was issued to-day by
Postmaster General Wilson directed
against the organization of postal en-
ployes to secure legislative action. Re-
ports have been current for oOmpara-
lively long period that employees Of
various classes were combining and
pooling funds to furnish expenses Of

sent to appear before Congressional
committees and in behalf of legisla-
ton. This action is now practically
prohibited, and a penalty of removal
imposed by to-day's order, which is as
follows:
ordered: That hereafter no post
Office clerk, postmaster, letter carrier,
railway postal clerk, or other postal en-
ploye, shall visit Washington, whether
on leave or without pay, for the purpose
Of influencing legislation before Con-
gTess.
ANY such employe Of the postal SER
vice who violates this order shall be
liable to removal

That dutr rs assigned TO the representa-
tive Of the people elected for that pur-
pose.
If bills are introduced in either

service upon which any information or
recommendation is desired, l am ready
at all times to submit such as lies In
my power and province.

The telegraph lines in the northern

The gale is very violent over the

A dispatch from Antwerp says that
traffic in the streets of that city has
been stopped and that navigation of the
Scheldt is impossible. The Red Star
line steamer Friesland was, however,
able to leave for New York. Several

Minneapolis, Mimi, December T.

Of Catherine Cling, to be hanged We'd
nesday, December II.
Harry Hayward heard the news OF his
doom from Sheriff HOlmbergs lips.
The prisoner evinced no signs OF break
ing down, but on the other hand, re-
peated the awful eXecratiOns against
his brother Adry, which Of late have
been the only indication that he appre-
ciated the seriousness Of his position.
well Harry" said the sheriff, as he
approached Hayward, I've come to tell
you that the Governor has signed your
death warrant and fixed it for next
Wednesday"
That's a damned long time to wait
for a railroad train," was the prisoners
ejaculation.
If you're in the depot, its a long
time" said the sheriff, but you're on
the track for eternity. You have good
many things to consider before Wednes-
day: you have little time lett to stay
here"
q know that l have little time" said
Harry. There are a few things I'd
to straighten out and a few folks l
would like to get even with. If l had
my brother Adry here" and with that
Harry stood up and cl:nched his fists
and shook them from side to side, III l
had my brother Adry here l would take
his entrails out and stretch them like
a clothes line back and forth through
this cell I'm not quite so mad at BliNt
as folks think, but # my father, mother
and brother CDR. Hayward were dead, l
would be the happ.est man in the
world"
Well Harry" the sheriff broke in,
''I see you have some sympathy left you
yet"
No" said Harry, 81 have not any
sympathy, but l feel where there ought
to be some"
Here Hayward began to dilate state
ment to Ja!lor West in regard to the
jail-breaking episode and other Incl
dents of his life in Jail.
The statement is somewhat incoherent
and decidedly blood-th.rsty. It starts
cut:
"a short time is just as good as q
longer time, and l am just as ready now
as l ever shall be. | had rather be
hung than go to Saltwater for life. If
the Governor would come over here and
talk with me, l would tell him some
things I've had a damned good time
here and I'll have a good time yet.
have no kick coming.
They ought to go back to the old
times. People are too soft-hearted now.
If | had Adry here. I'd put his eyes out
and his heart out, and I'd have BliXt
look on then I'd cut them up and throw
them to the dogs. I'm not made of milk
and water"
Turning to the sheriff at this point,
Hayward asked:
Il have a right to invite three persons
in to see the hanging, haven't I?'
On being told that he had, he said:
I'D have the Dalton brothers, Bill Cook
and Cole Younger, and I'd give them
two good revolveTs apiece"
The statement then takes up the mat

and a special meeting was called for
this afternoon.
A Register reporter, in an interview
with a local barber, ascertained that
eX-Judge Lewis Jordan had been in
structed to draw up a BARRIERS Sunday
closing ordinance, with provisions 20
impose a fine on any violater of the
same. This ordinance will be discussed
ait this afternoons meeting. 1t is to be
formally presented to the City Council,
az its next meeting, by the BARRIERS
Union. 1t is said that a number of
BARRIERS issue tickets for thirty shavas
for 81, which will also be abolished.
This rate, which is very low, is only al
lowed to intimate friends of several
BARRIERS. There are several other bar
bers who issue tickets good for twelve
shaves for 81, which a great number Of
patrons take advantage Of
These difficulties will be discussed
and a uniform scale is suggested for
adoption.
