Undoubtedly the largest and best ap-
pointed retail grocery house in West
Virginia is that erected during the past
summer on Centre Market square by
Mr.. H. +. Behrens. The exterior Of the
handsome edifce attracts daily the at
tenJion of the casual passer-by along
that portion of Market street, and it
is not at all common for both strangers
and residents of this city 10 remark
upon the splendid structure and to make
enquiries regarding the enterprising
owner and his evident large trade. a
careful inspection of the interior is ne
ceSsary. however. before one can form
an intelligent judgement Of the business
acumen of the owner and be brought 10
a complete realization of what enter
prise, fair dealing and pluck has accom-
plished in this typical Wheeling retail
business establishment.
Mr.. Behrens, who received his bust
ness training at Hamburg. Germany,
embarked in the retail grocery business
in the Fifth ward in 1870 as the sue
cessor of John Armstrong. At that time
the building occupied was of the most
modest dimensions. and of very ordin-
airy construction. Mr.. Bshrens. how
ever, was already a business man Of
experience and integrity, well endowed
with the good old-fashioned idea that
the interests of the patron should be the
first consideration of the merchant.
and he had no sooner taken control of
the business than he put his ideas into
force. As a result he most speedily OBJ
tanned most enviable reputation
among his patrons. and his affairs pros
pered from the start As time passed.
Mr. Behrens found his ever-increasing
business demanded more room. and h
was compelled to erect another build
inc adjoining the one he occupied The
additional space thus gained sufficed
for time, but of late the pressure for
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1896-03-01

still more space and for additional ia
cihties compelled the virtual demol-
ition Of his old quarters and the cree
ton of a larger and more
modern business building. A
year ago this was fully de-
summer the work was completed, re-
sulting in the magnificent edifice pic
tured above.
The new building is model for re-
tail grocery house. All goods are re-
ceived in the rear, where the immense
cellar floor opens upon the same level
with the alley. There the stock is re-
ceived in bulk, and is thence hOisted
by elevator to the upper floors, which
serve as warehouses. and from which
the supply Of commodities on the ground
floor is constantly renewed. The stand
ing motto of the house is: Buy nothing
but the best of everything" and as
result the goods offered for sale are Of
the highest standard. while prices are
invariably at the lowest figure. The in
evitable result is public satisfaction.
and this has insured a steady growth
in trade. which now covers the whole
of the city. goods being delivered on
the Island. in the First ward. and in the
Eighth almost as freely as in the cen
tral portions of the city. When a retail
grocer located below Twenty-sec0nd
street finds and keeps customers in the
Seventh. First. Second Third and
Fourth wards, as is certain that there
is some very good reason for his ex-
tended trade, and this reason is found
in low prices, fine goods and right treat
ment OF customers.
At present this old and reli-
able house is enabled to salts
fy the public better than even
before. and all those who wish
the highest grade OF goods upon the
most favorable terms should visit II.
F. Behrens' Centre Market store and
become acquainted with the proprietor
and his wares.

CHANGES IN NEW YORK.
Old St. Johns Cemetery, New
York, to Be Transformed
Into a Public Park.

New / OTk, NOVemDPC 10
Today is the last day for re-
moving the remains of the dead
from the old st. Johns cemete-
ry, at Hudson and Clarkson
streets. When the city pur-
chased the land from Trinity
church for the purpose of con-
verting it into a public park,
all persons interested were
notified to remove the remains
of their dead before Sunday,
and the notice stated: "After
that date work upon the park
will be started. The remains of
the dead will not be disturbed,
but the gravestones will be
buried"
In compliance with this no.
tice only seven excavations
have been made and % bodies
removed.
Ten thousand graves. Old st.
Johns cemetry occupied only a
single acre of land, and yet it
is believed that more than 10,
900 interments have been made
there. Records we've poorly
kept in the first years of the
century, when Trinity church
went beyond the cisy limits to
establish the new cemetery in
what is now a populous district
crowded with tenements and
busy business blocks. It's great
est harvest Of any season was
reaped in 1905, when the cho-
lera killed SO many in New
York.
Among the persons of some
note inferred in the cemetery
was John Ferdinand, better
known as Baron Castelrolto.
He died in 1887, and is yet re
membered by some of the older
men who were frequeuters of
Wall Street in those days, for
The Baron was a daring specu-
lator. What is left of him and
his last narrow resting place
will likely remain unmarked
beneath the sod of the new
park.
Soon these will be buried
from sight, and Il smiling park
will take the place of a scene
of desolation.

citizen, though, is bound to ac-
knowledge that the defeated
ohieftain, w. j. Bryan, is one
of the most remarkable and
ablest men of this century. The
opposing party has claimed
that he was but q fanciful

babbler. Do we join in this

BURGLAR DISCOVERED.
He Had Made His Way Into Gen.
Bakers Bedroom.

A burglar entered Gen. J. H.
Bakers residence at 2 o'clock Monday
morning. Gen. Baker had left a lamp
burning low in his bedroom, and was
awakened by slight noise. Looking
up, he saw man in the act of look
ing for his watch, on a stand near the
foot Of the bed. He jumped out and
called TO the man, who bolted out of
the house, having left the doors open
for a quick exit. Investigation
showed that the senator's trousers
were gone. 1t appeared as though
the burglar had entered the bedroom
twice, removing the garment the first
time, and going back for the watch,
which was covered by some clothing,
but could distinctly be heard ticking.
The man was lifting these pieces of
clothing when he was discovered.
The fellow ran out upon Parsons
street and thence to Clark. This
morning when j. H. Welsh, an Omaha
train dispatcher, who resides on Clark
street, went into his yard he found
a pair of pantaloons, and took them
to the police station, where they were
turned over to the owner. The burglar
had taken 1915 in change from the
pockets and thrown them into the
yard.
Gen. Baker gotta good view of the
man, who was stranger to him, and
about IS years of age, short, with
sandy complexion, and wore a thin,
black sack coat, brown trousers and
a black SLOUGH hat. Entrance had
been gained by prying the lock of
the woodshed door open, and turning
a key in another door. He used
tallow candle to see his way.
Last June some tramps got into
Gen. Bakers pantry and RECALLED
themselves on strawberry shortcake
and other dainties, making a clean
sweep. They got in by crawling
through cellar window and coming
up the stairway. The fact of their
having been there was not discovered
until morning, although they lighted
lamp to eat by.

DEATH OF 1RS. A. M. HAYNES.
This EstlmabIe Lady Passed Away
Last Night.

Mrs Arthur M. Haynes died at her
home on South Front street Friday,
of consumption, after an illness of
some months. While her recovery
was dispaired of, her friends were I'M
prepared for Der sudden taking off,
She was lady who possessed and
merited the love Of all who knew her.
Her death, in the very prime of life,
with all it's hopes bright before her,
and happy in the affection of hus-
band and pretty children, is sad to
contemplate. Ii life must end,
autumn seems the most appropriate
time, when all nature is undergoing
change, when the birds are DESERVING
their haunts, and the flowers of the
field are folding their petals and droop-
ing their heads in endless rest. But
the forest and the prairie will not be
more empty and barren than the
hearts of the sorrowing ones left be-
hind. But there is left to these the
memory of the many excellencies and
good deeds of the dear deceased.
The maiden name of the deceased
was Cynthia r. Smith, and she was
born at Horribly, Steuben county, New
York, Oct. 25th, 1866. She removed
to North Dakota in 1884, and was
united in marriage with Mr.. Haynes,
Dec. 22d, 1887. She had resided most
of the time since in this city, and her
fireside had .been cheered by the ar
rival of four children, of whom the
oldest is eight years and the youngest
one month. A sister In California,
one in Boston, two brothers in Fargo,
and two at Salt Lake City survive her.
The sympathy of all will be extend
ed to the sorrowing husband and the
four little children, whose laughing
lips will never again receive the holy
imprint of mothers kiss. Their loss
is an irreparable one, but their grief
is shared by their friends.

DEATH OF MRS. A. L. SACKETT.

The news of the death of Mrs. A.
L. Sackett, of St. Peter, will be re-
ceived by her many friends in Man.
kato with profound sorrow. Her
death was sudden and wholly unlocked
for, occurring as it did at o'clock
Saturday morning.
1t appears, from information re-
ceived, that Mrs. Sackett was stricken
with apoplexy about midnight, and
just after returning home from a
party given at the home of Geo. Ives,
where she spent the evening in her
usual good health.
Mrs. Sackett was splendid lady,
beloved by all who knew her. Her
sudden demise will leave void in the
social circles of St. Peter that will
be long and painfully felt.
The family will have the dee pest
sympathy of large circle of friends
in the loss of loving wife, most in
dulgent and affectionate mother.
