No SN1AIL-PNX HERE.

An authoritative statement from the
BOARD Of Health of Wheeling as to
whether there are cases of smallpox in
that city would satisfy the people and
prevent the circulation of reports that
may be greatly exaggerated or without
anv truth in them. The silence OF the
newspapers Of that city on the matter
of interest to some OF their readers is
construed by some persons to mean that
the city is not free from the disease
Bellaire Independent
This editor is still at his old trick OF
reflection and insinuatiOn regarding
this community. His remark about
the silence of the newspapers of that
city" is particularly malicious, as the
Wheeling newspapers have stated on an
average of twice week, for three weeks
past. that there is no smallpox here.
The Bellaire editor knows this, Of
course. but all his readers do not know
it. and it is this class he desires to mis-
lead.

CLEvELAND,s MESSAGE.

The message recently sent to Con-
gresS by Mr.. Cleveland has caused
more comment in all circles than any
thing for some time. Various opinions
have been expressed on the subject by
leading citizens of this city. and it is
safe to say that President Cleveland
has aroused the old-t.me feeling of SUI
premacy of this country over all ma
tiOns.
Our message to the people, while not
being of national Importance, IS of con-
siderable interest to The people of this
vicinity. We wish TO say that a more
suitable present for the holidays than
one Of our High Grade Krel Pianos g
hard to find. This makes the most ap-
preciated gift to every person, and we
are offering our pianos at reasonable
prices and on easy terms.

BUSINESS WAS BRISK.
The Streets Presented an Animated APP
pearance, Yesterday and Last Evening.


pearance, Yesterday and Last Evening.
The shoppers were out in immense
force. last evening, and the crowds upon
the streets were fully equal to those or
last Saturday night, and much larger
than any evening since then. Retail
trade was brisk, and merchants were
very we'll satisfied with the volume or
business done AT several of the larger
stores on Market street, from Four
teenth to Twelfth, all along Twelfth
street to Main, and from Twelfth to
Tenth, on Main, the throngs during
during the evening well taxed the large
forces of clerks, while on several occa-
siOns the sidewalks were damned and
passage was difficult Many stores were
open and doing business as late as
half-past eleven, and a number were
still open when the City Hall clock
struck midnight.
The retail merchants are to be con-
graduated upon the splendid window eX-
hibits they are making this year
Twenty firms at least, can be counted
along Market and Main streets whose
windows are veritable exhibitions and
WOlkS OF ART, anu the ldSlS ulopldySu
would do indefinite credit to much
larger city.
The music stores were particularly
centres of attraction, last evening. En-
tertaining musical programmes were
given. and there were large crowds in
and about them until quite late in the
evening.
Beginning tomorrow, the rush will
be on at the confectionery stores. and
thence on until the night before Christ
mas there will be a lively demand for
sweets of all sorts, and tons of candy
will be disposed of within the next few
days. And right here it may be re-
marked that Wheeling is one of the
greatest candy towns on the face of the
earth, and the per capita amount Of
manufactured sugar sold here is high.
With continuation of pleasant
weather there will be another large
turnout of ladies to-day, and this eve
ming the streets will present a reped-
ton of the animation of last evening.

AN IMPROVED SITUATION.
No New Cases in Martins Ferry or Bridge
port, Yesterday.

No New Cases in Martins Ferry or Bridge
port, Yesterday.
The situation in Bridgeport and Mar
tins Ferry was distinctly improved
yesterday, in this: that there were no
new cases reported in either town.
The people in each place hope that
the turning point had been reached,
and that henceforth there will be an
improvement, and this hope is earnest
~ echoed on this side OF the river.
Wheeling people, having passed
through a long siege win the disease,
are well fitted to sympathiZe with
smaller towns which have had the i'll
fortune to become infected, and none
will rejoice more than the residents OF
this city when it will become possible
to raise the quarantine and re-estaD-
lish friendly relations"
Martins Ferry has at last taken en-
ergetic measures TO fight the disease.
The city has been divided into eight
districts, and a physician has been as
signed to each division. to vacclnate
every person and do whatever else can
be done to stop the spread OF the dis
ease. This is decidedly a move in the
TlSnL ulIeCllOD, anu Will bt hllifNl 'eAAiJ
commended. The town has also quar-
antined against Bridgeport.
Wellsburg yesterday quarantined
against Martins Ferry, and all trains
will hereafter be inspected for Martins
Ferry people. Since the Wheeling
quarantine Martins Ferry people have
been going up the river to small sta
tons in the vicinity of Wellsburg,
crossing over to Wellsburg, and there
taking trains for Wheeling, Steuben-
Vile and Pittsburg. Hereafter this
will be stopped. Two suspects are I'M
der observation at Brilliant, opposite
Wellsburg.
There we're no developments worthy
of mention in the Wheeling quarantine
regulations. yesterday. A wagon OF
two we're allowed to send pipe and
plumbing material to the Aetna-Stand-
ard mill. but outside of this the em-
barge was strictly maintained.

ANOTHER COLLECTION
VIII Result from an Experiment Made Last
Night


Postmaster NJ. J. O'Kane has several
times given evidence of his desire to
bring the postal service N this city up
to the highest possible degree Of eff
cheney. In accordance with this COM
mendable purpose, an experimental col
lection was made last night in the bust
ness district, without any previous
notice having been given to the mer-
chants in that section of the city. The
mail matter was taken from the boxes
on Market, from Fourteenth to Tenth,
and on Main from Tenth to Sixteenth,
at 10 O'clock. II was foud that the
amount Of mail gathered will justify
an order to make this collection per-
manently, and the order will probably
be given to-day.
Therefore, this Matchmaker has been
gathered in the o'clock collection in
the morning. The new rule viii enable
the merchants to send their letters on
the midnight mail east or west, and VIII
obv:ate the necessity for special trips
TO the post office at night, a matter
which has been a source of no incon-
siderable inconvenience.

Scenery At the Rangeley Lakes.

Tie widest scenery Of the Rangeley
LAKES is undoubtedly that seen at Lake
Mooselookmegurtic. Particularly where
the water has risen above the original
shore, leaving the stumps of trees stand
ing as mournful sentinels, it appears
savage. 1t is, in fact, so, for with the
exception of shore strips, the woods,
which crowd to the very limit of the
water. are primevaL They are far Wild
er than the forests of the Adirondacks,
for there are very few places in the latter
where there arc Eot good trails for
woodsmen and hunter, while around the
Rangeleys, and especially Mooselookme-
guntic, there are miles upon miles of
woods which can be penetrated only by
using the Ak. Not even wOodman s
trail crosses them, and their interior is
as unknown to the guides as to the visit
ors. They have not changed in the
slightest degree since the days when the
Indians were in possession, and white
men were unknown.
Many Of the mountains to be seen
from Interchangeable are also unex-
plored. The portions i'll which trails of
any kind have been made are very in
significant as compared with the rest
On some days the highest peaks of the
White mountains are visible from the
Rangeleys, and these add to the gran
deur of the scene. On cloudy days, when
the wind is blowing, the waters of the
lakes look very much like those of the
sea, and very pronounced surf, all
flecked with foam, beats upon the shore
On such days even the venturesome do
not go out in rowboats, and the somber
coloring of woods and water makes the
scene weird as well as savage.-New
York Sun.
