The interstate Round Table meet
ing, which has been looked forward 10
with the liveliest anticipadons by the
educators of this city and vicinity, was
most auspiciously opened last evening
at Clay school. 1t had originally been
intended to hold the meeting at the Of
flee OF Superintendent Anderson, but
the attendance was so large that an
adjournment to Clay school was found
absolutely necessary. The attendance
at this, the first session, was probably
about seventy or seventy-fve, and
among those present were Superintend-
ents-James Duncan, Bridgeport; H. B.
Merrick, Cadiz; B. T. Jones, Bellaire;
w H. Stewart, Martins Ferry; w. A.
Boyd. Marietta; - Gallup. of New
Cumberland; r. A. Riggs, Benwood; D..
T. Williams, Moundsville; DIV. Shields,
New Martinsville. Principals. T..
King. McMechen; r. L. Carrigan,
Benwood; NV. Harris, Martins Ferry;
w. c. Bowers ,Barnesville; C. w. HOyle,
Martins Ferry; R. Blackford, Martin s
Ferry: L. NJ. Hoff, Sistersville; Prof. R.
A. Armstrong, West Virginia Univer-
sity: Virgil A. Lewis, State Superin-
tendent of Schools; o. T. Corson, State
School Commissioner of Ohio; all the
principals Of the Wheeling schools, and
about forty of the city schools. Prof. j..
NJ. Hammond, principal Of Union
School. was elected chairman of The
meeting.
The nrst topic taken up for discus
sion was What is an anuquated text
book? How often should textbooks
be changed?" This discussion was
opened by State School Commissioner
Corson. Of Ohio, who gave his valuable
and interesting views at length, and
was followed by Prof d. w. Shields,
Superintendent Anderson, of the city
schools, Prof. Crago and others.
The second question was: "lndiyld-
uality in school wOrk-the hindrances
to it, and the remedies therefor" This
was opened by superintendent Dun
can, Of Bridgeport and he was follow
ed by Messrs. Corson, Anderson, Mer-
rick, Armstrong, Miss Bowers, and a
number of others. This discussion
was a long one, and brought out a num-
Der of valuable views and interesting
! experiences.
The third topic was: Where are we
at educationally? The discussion
was opened by Prof. Crago, and he was
followe-by Messrs. Jones, Duncan,
Corson and many others, the addresses
on this topic consuming the remainder
of the session.
To-day the session will be resumed,
and a number of other educators are
expected to be present from without the
city, and in addition there should be a
larger attendance on the part Of the
teachers of the city schools. One hun
dred Of these should be present at least,
as the meeting is the largest of the
sort ever held here, and it will be cor
respondingly valuable.

one of the largest and handsomest store
rooms in the city, well lighted, and af-

room has long been felt, but Mr.. En-
sheimer hesitated to make a change I'M
til he could secure a store of sufficient
size.
The new store room IS now open,
and the shelves and counters are stock
ed with all the latest things in mems
and boys clothing and furnishings.
The stock has been replenished for the
opening, and more goods are on the
road Clothing, hats and caps and

tastes and all purses. with the
guarantee of the proprietor that prices
are as low as the lowest, quality con-

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Pitsburg. Wheeling and
Kentucky Railway Company, held yes
terday at the Office of the corporation
in this city, President w. p. Hubbard
submitted his annual report. The doc
ument showed that the operations of the
road for the year 1895 had yielded a
most gratifying result, the net earrings
being equal to about eight and one-half
per cent. on the capital stock, after pro-
viding for all payments and charges,
and that the freight business had been
the heaviest in the entire history OF the
line. while the passenger business had
also increased over the previous year.
The condition of this road, as regards
traffic. is a safe and sure index of the
Industrial condition OF Wheeling and
viewed from this standpoint the record
made should be generally gratifying
and a matter for public congratulatiOn.

President Hubbard speaks in no uncer-

or 61.53 per cent. AS will appear by
the statement of classified tonnage

this increase is in coal and coke, iron,
castings and machinery, bar and sheet
metal, these items aggregating in 1898
544 422 tons, or 5S per cent of the total
tonnage, against 204, 900 tons, or 80 per

SILVER MEN IN TURMOIL.
OhiOans Contend About Delegates to
Chicago-Organixati

CLEVELAND. o., March IA meeting
OF silver men, representing nearly every
county in Ohio. was held at the Hollen-
den Hotel last night. 1t was stormy
from the outset, and at several juno
lures It seemed that the meeting would
be forced to adjourn because OF differ
ences OF opinion. The main source OF
contention was the proposition Of A. A.
Brown, OF Cincinnati, that silver men be
recommended to the Democratic State
Convention as delegates at large to the
national convention. l.. r. Holden, OF
Cleveland: T.. Il. Finley. OF Bucyrus Al
len w. Thurman, OF Columbus, and T..
w Moore, OF Greenville. were named.
Then turmoil reigned. Arguments pro
and con on the political advisabllity OF
the motion were hotly made The motion
was finally laid on the table.
Next IT was determined that organizers
be appointed 10 visit every county,
awaken an interest in the silver move
ment, and work for the election OF silver
men to the State and national conven-
tlons.
At an early hour this morning the con-
vention adjourned. II is likely that an
other meeting will be held

Association were to appropriate so or
more for a premium tobacco sale. when
the excursions run from the tobacco belts.
Il would add one third more In numbers
10 those who come here, greatly incrcas-
ing the interest in coming. because 30
many would bring something to sell, and,
having sold here. they would spend the
proceeds with our merchants. The ex-
cursionists would go home doubly happy
then.
NO BETTER TOBACCO MARKET.
Mr.. William +. Dibrel: l concur in
what believe Is the sense OF the Tobacco
Trade, that those who will have money
to spend here are those who VIII have
produce TO sell. and that there is no bet
ter tobacco market than this. hence the
Tobacco Trade should cooperate with
the merchants association, making the
excursions doubly attractive and useful.
The money paid out here for tobacco goes
from the planters pocket to the merchants
in the city, as well as do the comfns-
sions and wages earned by those VINO
pay for and handle the weed here. Build
the foundation together. and the whole
building will soon go up under an archi-
tectural design and purpose. Don't give
the country merchants a chance TO say
the Richmond wholesale houses sell them
EOouS anu lns Tttdll dSt,tldAlOIf ~ W
say, takes their business away. Invite
ali to sell here as well as to buy.
PAY THE BEST PRICES.
Messrs. II. ID. Neal and William II.
Jones say they favor the merchants as
ISOLATION. but don't think it very desira-
ble feasible, and proper that tobacco
sellers should profit by II, particularly
as Richmond buyers pledge themselves
TO pay the planters and shippers fullest
market prices for their weed.
Major N. A. Gregory: A most commend
able move: on the right line; no possible
harm, much good may result. The to-
bacco excursions bringing farmers from
Eastern North Carolina have been most
successful. Merchants in this city for the
last few years have not known how or
where many a dollar OF their trade has
come from. People who bring something
to sell are most desirable. Organized ef-
forts with up-to-date organizations, which
are all that is necessary to develop
Richmond's wonderful advantages.
