Remarkable Showing
Made By The Fire Department Dur
ing the Year.
The Total Losses Less Than Three
Thousand Dollars - Something
About the Department-Plans for
a New House-List Of Alarms.

The year 1895 VIII go into history
as a most remarkable one N the matter
of immunity from fire losses in the City
of Wheeling. During the twelve months
ending yesterday there were 10 fires,
of which number sixty were box, and
the remainder still alarms The total
loss, as shown by the books of Fire
Chief Frank Healy, was $2,696. There
is probably no city of the same, or ap-
proximate size n the country which can
make as good a showing for the twelve
month. The report of Chief Healy IS
the best comment which can be made
on the work of the department for the
year. but it may safely be added that
the entire community is grateful to the
fire ladies" for their efficient work,
and 10 their chief, for his watchfulness
and MS Intelligent efforts to prevent
losses of life and property.
1t is not hard to find the cause for the
excellent record made by Wheeling in
the matter Of fires 1t lies in the fact
that the department is in perfect order,
and that speed is the first consideration
in the minds of the fremen, after re-
ceiving an alarm. 1t has been SAID, and
truthfully, that nowhere else in the
United States IS such speed made In
reaching a fire The almost reckless
manner in which drivers urge the
horses attached to the fire apparatus, is
a frequent subject of comment on the
part of visitors TO the city, and never
fails to awaken admiration as well as
surprise.
The following list shows the station
from which each alarm was sent, the
loss, and other interesting Information:
January 9-Box 1.-TWO calls, natural
gas explosion n Frank Works stable;
loss, $50; insurance, 800.

THE Central Will BE STARTED.


The negotiations by Wheeling parties
to start the Central Glass Works, allud-
ed to in these columns the other day,
were closed yesterday to the entire sat
isfac;lon of the enterprising gentlemen
of this city who have undertaken the
task Of rev.ving this industry, which
has been idle for two years. and the
works viii be started up as soon as
possible.
Although this s the case and the good
work will go on in any event, the new
company frankly state that they are
short to the extent Of about $4,000. of
the amount of capital which would give
them a perfectly free foot at the outset
Of the enterprise, and this sum, it is
hoped, will be subscribed to the stock
Of the company by the business men and
merchants of Wheeling BY next Satur-
& This would leave the way entirely
clear for the immediate opening of the
plant. AS every resident, particularly
every business man, of this city will be
indirectly benefited by the starting up
Of the works, there should be no diff
Guilty in securing the required subscrip-
tons at once. 1t VIII be money we'll and
probably invested.
In this connection, the friends of the
enterprise wish to say a word to
Council regarding its action in turn
ing down the natural gas
ordinance Monday night. If the new
company is to operate as cheaply as it's
competitors in other natural gas dis
tr,cts, z, must have this cheap and con-
venient fuel-cheapness not being so
much desired as convenience. In turn
ing down the Gas Company's PROPOSE
ton, which included a raise Of three
cents in the price Of the gas, the
glass people allege, the gas company
will be rendered unable to supply the
glass works, if It s not compelled
70 quit business altogether On the
ether hand the company asserts
if the reasonable rise in price
is allowed by the city, the COM
pany viii do its best to secure new gas
territory. so as to obtain a supply suffi-
cient for our industries as well as for
private consumption.

Complaint Against the Government.
London, January Ia dispatch to

Consequent upon a letter signed by
the leading Inhabitants of Johannes
berg, which was sent to DR.. Jameson, at
Mafeking on Saturday, DR.. James on
Sunday crossed the Transvaal frontier
near Mafeking with ZOO men. 1t is
known that he passed Melmani at 3
o'clock on Monday morning. No furth-
er direct news has been received from
Transvaal The letter from Dr. jane
son was dated December %, and said:
Matters in this Stale have become so
critical that We are assured that at no
distant period there will be a conflict
between the government and the Uit-
lander population. The position of
thousands of Englishmen and Of others
is rapidly becoming intolerable." The
letter then proceeds to complain that
the government is virtually compelling
Uitanders to pay the whole revenue for
the country, while denying them rep
resentation.
Every public act bstrays the most
positive hostility not only to everything
English, but to the neighboring Staes. -

THE NEW YEAR.

This Is. another Of the days we cele-
brate Tt is a day not only for good
cheer in the vanity of our good resolu-
tions. but for sober introspection and
serious consideration Of what may be in
the light Of what has been, which is the
most important, the most reliable, and
the best point Of view one can take
in looking over the affairs Of life N
such pauses in the general whirl OF eX-
istence as the present.
Tt may as well be said right here and
now that all the good New Years reso-
buttons YOU can pile on to a ten acre
lot are not worth shucks unless they
are made in the clear light Of your
shortcomings in the past and measured
bv an humble appreciation Of the same.
Happy. indeed, IS thar man who can
strike a true balance at the close Of
the old year and pledge his best en-
beavers for the New to even up the ac-
eeunt. and bring the balance TO the
side Of truth and love to his neighbor,
for real happiness is an inner state. and
outside circumstances. whatever they
may be have little to do with it.
This is a suggestion we seriously com
mend to thoughtful consideration, And
i'm the meantime the Register wishes
all Of it's readers a Happy New Year.

The Supreme Court of the United
states has concurred in the judgment
of the Supreme Court of New Jersey,
which affirmed the decision of the lower
court in the case Of a citizen Of that
State who had been elected from pas
senger railway car for alleged nOn-pay-
ment Of fare-the conductor having re-
fused to receive as legal tender worn
ten cent piece-and who had recovered
Judgment for SS15 and costs.
Chief Justice Fuller, who passed upon
the question. referred to the law regul-
ating The passage Of defaced and abrad-
ed coins. and stated that there was no
provision against the passage Of silver
coins which were abraded only by cir
culaton. and that they were a legal
tender as long as they bore the sem
blance Of the coin.
This is not only the final law upon
1.-The subject. but it IS as specific law "a
could well be made. II would evidently
have been impracticable for Congress
to have determined any theoretical
measure Of wear beyond which the quail
.ty Of legality should be considered as
worn out 1t is. of course. desirable
that the abraded coins should be retired
to the melting pot as rapidly as possible;
but so long as they bear the semblance
Of their origin they are entitled to re-
spectful treatment. and may not be re-
jected merely because they have been
worn out in the service of the people.

A GOOD WORD FOR THE WEED"
We have no desire this New Years
Day to bring bad influence to bear on
any one who has resolved to swear off
from the tobacco habit, but as a correct
historian, we must record the fact that
DR.. Jankau, in a paper in the Lancet,
which has the approval of that eminent
journal, declares that
as a general rule there is no need to for
bid the use Of tobacco I'M surgical cases,
with the exception OF those involving the
eyes. the abdomen and the bladder, ana
that most of the affections where the use
of tobacco is injurious are just those
which cause the patient TO dislike NJ IN
fact in these the Dissemination TO smoke
IS one Of the first signs that man is un-
While thus giving tobacco a certain
diagnost.c value, DR.. Jankau distinctly
gives it a chemical value as well
IN certain ailments, notably pull
monary affections: and he adds: More
over. tobacco smoke disinfects the
mouth, soothes the genital nerves, and
acts favorably on the central nervous
system by its slightly narcotic .nfiu-
ence." These views run squarely coun-
ter to those habitualy urged by men
who by virtue of their continued
defamation assume to pose as authori-
ties on the tobacco subject. The higher
authority having spoken the posers
might now abate their zeal. But of
course. DR.. Jankaus views are not
warrant for the immoderate use Of the
weed in any form.
