AN INCoNsIDERATE CROOK.

The Martins Ferry Times says:
In speaking of the Carlow case, the
Register remarks: No trace of his con-
federate has yet been discovered. That
is sad, and indicates what low depths
some men can reach. After being prac-
tically put in the hands of the Wheeling
police by the Martins Ferry officials at
the same time Carlow was, and allowed
to remain snugly in bed while his COM
panion was put behind the bars, he
should have felt in honor bound to re-
main in that vicinity until it was tina
pleasure of the officers to come after
him. He has disgraced himself, and
can only redeem his lost honor by COM
ing back and insisting on being locked
up Thus will the Wheeling police
gain great glory once more

In accordance with the orders of Coun-
Gil, the Committee on Health took an
other shy at the garbage contract ques-
ton last evening
The result was recommendation that
Charles Becker, the highest Of thirteen
bidders. be accepted by Council.
The matter will come up before Coun-
Gil this evening, and it will be interest
ing to watch the antics of that most &C.
centric body.
The first time the Health Committee
asked for bids it received fifteen, and
recommended the highest-Mr. Becker
his bid being So, 100 for the full term
CT twenty-four months. Council had
fun with this recommendation, and af-
ter an unusually lively time refused
point blank to accept Mr.. Becker or
anybody else, and sent the whole matter
back to the Health Committee for new
bids. The Committee again asked for
bids. and this time they received nine
teen tenders. For the sake of variety
they recommended the lowest bidder,
and Council again amused itself with
the report, and finally refused TO let
contract to any one. Tempus fuglted
until the last regular session, when an
effort was made in the Second Branch
TO let the contract to some one of the
second batch of bidders, but the at
tempt came to nothing, and finally the
Health Committee was instructed to
once more ask for bids. They got them
thirteen of them-and last evening
they were opened. The figures were as

A NEW STEEL PLANT
Resolved Upon by the Aetna-standard
Company.

Company.
The Martins Ferry Times says:
1.-The stockholders of the Aetna-Stand-
ard mill met Saturday afternoon and
voted to allow the Board of Managers
to issue bonds necessary to construct
an open hearth steel plant, the value
not to exceed $500, 900. Ninety-four per
cent. of the stock was represented and
the vote in favor of establishing the
new industry was unanimous. The
location and plan of the new works will
be in accordance with the forecast made
in the Times more than week ago.
AS soon as the bonds can be sold and
the cash turned into the treasury the
contracts will be let and the construc-
ton be proceeded with. The engineer
who has been figuring upon the new i'm
provement has not yet fully determined
how much ground will be necessary for
the buildings, and it may become neces-
sary to encroach to certain extent up
on the south end of the old Aetna mill"

Before the bids were opened a reso-
luton was passed that the committee
open no bids where it did not consider
the bidder responsible All the bids
were opened, however by which action
the committee indicated that it consid-
cred the lowest bidder responsible, and
then proceeded to give the contract TO
the highest. This isn't very peculiar,
however-for the Health Committee.
The work was started by passing a
resolution recommending the lowest
bidder This wGs Immediately recon-
sidered, however, and the Committee
proceeded to vote On all the bidders,
commencing with the lowest and work
ing u, Every one was rejected, until
Mr.. Becker was reached, when he cap
tured the plum AS far as could be as
certained. Messrs. Halter and Farrell
voted for the lowest bidder, and as a
rule kept this UP all through, voting
successfully against high bidders and
in favor of low ones, until the contract
went to Mr.. Becker.
To say the low bidders we're hot is TO
state it mildly They will carry the
fight to Council this evening, and II
things don't smoke it will be because
there is not a quorum. Mr.. Becker's
original high bid was for S12 100, and
his second $11,S00. Last nights bid
was $11 300, but as the month of May
has passed, his contract will be for but
tventy-three months, which makes the
reduction more apparent than real.
Last night, after the adjournment Of
the Committee. Mayor Caldwell express
ed his Indignation at the action taken,
and said he would never sign the con-
tract on behalf of the city, while a friend
of one of the bidders who was not sue
cessful stated that if Council awarded
the contract. there would be an injunc-
ton. It will be seen that the oppor-
tunity for fun is rather better than at
any time heretofore.

Ex-Health Officer Walden was in at
tendance at the City Hall last evening,
to see what the Committee on Health
proposed to do with his pending bill,
but he didn't get chance to get before
the Committee until after the garbage
matter was disposed of, and he only had
his say" then through sheer persist
ency, while the members of the Com
mittee, as a rule, were doing something
else or clamoring to adjourn.
DR.. Walden put in an original bill for
s2.O25 for visits during the smallpox
epidemic, last year, and after much de-
lay and sundry vicissitudes he finally
succeeded in obtaining S760 as the
award of a special committee. He only
signed a receipt for that on account, or
a receipt to that effect. and last evening
he wanted to know what the Commit
tee proposed TO do about the rest of it,.
He was told his bill and the papers were
not before or in the possession Of the
Committee. but that they must be in
the custody of the City Clerk. and very
able effort was made by several of the
members to ignore the suppliant and
proceed to other matters or go home
The members persisted in talking about
something else. with a motion to adj
iourn interjected here and there. but
the Doctor stuck 10 his text, and finally
unearthed the bill from some where
Then the Committee declined to have
anything to do with it. taking the
ground that the matter was in the hands
of Council, of the special committee, or
somebody else, and finally passed mo-
ton to adjourn and filed out, leaving
the Doctor in rather uncomfortable
attitude in the middle of the floor.
Before the Committee adjourned a
letter was read from NJ. V. Smith, the
original builder of the crematory, 10 the
effect that the present furnace could be
reconstructed to burn coal for about
$500, or if torn down and removed TO
another locality. using such old mater
ial as would be possible. the cost would
be about $1,000. The letter was filed.
The superintendent of the crematory
fled a report for April, showing the
furnace had consumed during the month
100 loads of garbage, II loads from the
markets, 10 dogs. , cats, horses, S59
barrels and boxes and les barrels OF
night soil.

THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven-

in the United States is inalsputably the

rency on the other. On this issue w de-
clare ourselves to be in favor OF a dis
tinctively American system. We are
unalterably opposed to the single gold
standard and demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard OF gold
and silver by restoration by this govern
msnt, Independently Of any foreign pow
