Failure to Provide for State Needs as Much
q Crime as to ReciSlessly squander the
Peoples Money.
Fairmont Index.
Soon after the adjournment Of the last
LEGISLATURE We took occasion 20 call
attention to the fact that the Lcgisla-
ture had failed 10 appropriate money
enough 10 run the various departments
OF the State government for the next
two years. and accused it Of being n.g-
gardly in its appropriations for the sake
Of making a reputation for economy q.
We predicted then that the admlnistra-
ton of the State would be hampered,
and that he people of the State would
be put to- great inconvenience 1t VIII
be remembered that the Legislature fall
ed TO provide for any deficiencies, and
it refused to appropriate sums sufficient
for any department, when the money
was i'm the treasury to be used, and
they were informed by the heads OF
departments that it would be required.
This position Of course was bitterly as
saulted by a number of Republican jour
nails. but time has shown that we were
right. In eight months after the ad-
iournment Of the Legislature there is
no money to pay the Public Printer the
amount appropriated for criminal
charges is exhausted, and there is a
large deficiency to be met by the next
Legislature, and there is not a cent left
TO pay for the support Of lunatics in
the county jails, and almost every other
department is crippled for the lack OF
funds. Just how the administration is
going TO get along under this c0ndi-
ton of things we do not see. and .t may
be that the Governor viii DE forced 90

No Foundation for the Report That Hay

Minneapolis, Mimi, November o.
It was reported here last night, and
telegraphed extensively throughout
the country, that Harry Hayward had
made a confession. The facts, how
ever. are that a detective. by the name
of Quinlan, is supposed to have certain
details of the crime that did not come
out in the trial and for speculative
purposes, he expects to print what he
claims to possess in book form. An ao-
stract of this was published last even
ing by an evening paper as a confess
sion. The facts are, however, that
Hayward has not made a confession.

The sincere words of truth are what

No one can read the following earn

also they echo what is the minds and
hearts of thousands. The young man
who uttered them, Sam'l w. Thompson,
is one of the brightest and best known
of the many bright young men OF
Arlington, Mass.
Il thank God" he said, that at last
a cure has been found for nervous
diseases. They are certainly the most
terrible of all disorders, for they affect
the mind and depress the spirits as
we'll as weaken and exhaust the body.
Il was almost crazy at times, | was
so nervous, weak, sleepless and dis
couraged.
Il tried doctors and medicines, but
never found relief for more than a
few days, and then the troubles would
come on again worse than ever.

MR.. SAMUEL w. THOMPSON.

81 have gained ten pounds in weight
and am feeling strong and vigorous.
1t is indeed the remedy that cures, and
| think it is the king of all medicines,
l cannot express thanks enough for the
wonderful good it has done me-"
Mr. Thompson is certainly an earn
est believer in this wonderful discov-
cry of DR.. Greene, Dr. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy, and he
has reason to be. Nervous diseases
are the most terrible of affections and
lead to insanity, paralysis, heart fail
ure or complete nervous and physical
prostration. Whatever will cure nerv-
Gus disorders and save people from
these awful results, is the greatest dis
covery possible to be made.
This great remedy does cure. 1t
does give strength and vigor to the
nerves and restores vitality to the
blood and body. 1t cures, and this is
exactly what the people want And
they especially want it at this season
of the year, for this grand spring tonic
and invigorator is necessary If one
would keep in perfect health.
DR.. Greene, its discoverer, is the
most successful specialist in curing all
forms of nervous and chronic dis
eases. His Office is at 50 West 14th

Resolutions of Respect.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 1, 1895.
At a special meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Dollar Savings
Bank, held this day, the following was
adopted:
1t is with deep sensibility and re-
greet that we have heard of the death
of our fellow director, c. p. Brown,
who has been a member of this Board
continuously since the organization
of the Bank, and from our long and
intimate association with him we can
bear our united testimony to his
faithful and fearless discharge of the
duties thus imposed upon him. His
strong common sense, his honesty, in
tegrity and industry commanded our
respect. and we feel that in his death
we have lost a worthy associate and
our community a useful citizen.
Resolved, That in token of our re-
gard for his memory we will attend
his funeral in body.
Resolved, That we hereby tender
our sympathy and coincidence to his
family, to whom his loss is greatest.
Resolved, That these proceedings be
spread upon our records and published
in the Wheeling daily papers, and
copy sent to his family.

plant, under the law, take 1T, and issue
city bonds for the cost, whatever 1t
might be. The fact that the electric
light was cutting deeper and deeper
into the city gas department, was held
to mean that the city would evetually
be swamped unless energetic and rad
ical measures were taken. The grow
ing number of private plants was also
referred to, and it was felt that with
cheap electricity for sale by the city,
the tendency in this direction could be
stopped. Business men wanted cleo
tricity. and they had been leaving the
city gas for electricity at very rapid
rate during the past year.
Coming to the purchase OF the
Wheeling Electrical Company's plant,
it was recalled that when the matter
was up before, the Company had offer
ed to sell for $4,000, while the inven-
tory taken by the expert employed by
the city did not foot up much over
$4,000. Since then the Company had
put in great deal of machinery, but
gentlemen familiar with the plant as ic
at present exists said it still fell a
good deal short of being worth the
$4,000 originally asked.
After going over the whole matter,
in detail and from several points of
view, the joint meeting passed a reso-
luton asking Council to appoint a
special Committee of three to look into
the advisability of negotiating with
the Wheeling Electrical Company
for the purchase of their plant under
the State law.
The joint session then adjourned to
await action by Council.

For Three Months This Summer at Mozart

The Board of Directors of the Mo-
Fart Park Association held meeting
yesterday afternoon and organized by
electing VIM. c. Handlan President;
Charles Horstman, Vice President
and Superintendent, and w. c. Hand
Ian, Jr., Secretary and Manager.
The principal matter under discus
sion at the meeting, was the plans
for the coming summer at the hilltop
resort. Mr.. o. c. Genther has been
engaged to book attractions for the
season, and the summer programme
will be a notable one. 1t will be
largely experimental, and its contin-
uance in future years will depend up
on the patronage 1t is the intention
to have a three-months season of vau-
deville, and this will necessitate some
changes in the pavilion. A regular
theatre stage will be constructed, with
scenery, curtains, etc.
The Directors will meet at the Park
in about a week, to decide upon the
improvements necessary.

The reading of this statement at
once brought up the question of how
to get out of the hole into which the
department had fallen, and the men,
bers of the Board at once said that if
the city had the right to sell electric
ity. the way would be open, and if this
right had been granted when the city
asked it at the hands of the Legisla-
ture. the deficit would never have oc-
Cured. On this point Mr.. Buchanan
said two members of the Fulton Coun-
Gil said that town would be glad to
pay the city $500 per year for six
lamps. Mr.. Dunlevy said House &
Hermann would have taken sixty arc
lights from the city, had it been al
lowed to sell, and others would have
done the same.
This led to a discussion of what
remedy could be applied, and it SEEM
ed TO be the unanimous opinion that
the purchase of the plant of the
Wheeling Electrical Company was the
only solution. Mr.. Dunlevy said the
private corporation was cutting deep
err and deeper into the gas revenues. as
was seen at the last holiday season,
when almost every business man
along Market and Main streets cut off
his gas and made extra illumination
with electricity. The estimated re-
ceipts of the works for 1894 had been
made small. and had it been realized,
the department would have made both
ends meet. but the incomefell off. and
it would continue to do so until the
city was able to go into incandescent
and arc lighting for private consum-
erS.
This brought on a discussion of the
cheapness of the Wheeling street
plant, and Mr.. Tappan and others
familiar with the facts said the cost
of the city. about S64 per lamp per
year. was very low, and Mr.. Tappan
instanced a Pennsylvania contract be-
ing let few days ago at s105 per light
per year. No city is getting its cleo
trio lights so cheaply as Wheeling.
Ways and means OF acquiring the
Wheeling Electrical Company's plant,
under the State law, were discussed.
and there was a very general feeling
that it would be good policy and good
business for the city to secure a valu-
alton Of the Wheeling company's
