way, the river division of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie road and the Cleveland
LOrain and Wheeling road between
Bridgeport and Bellaire, on account
of the water inundating the tracks Of
the three roads at various points.
AT Martins Ferry the water had
reached the Wheeling and Lake Erie
tracks in the northern part Of town
early in the day, and last evening it
covered the tracks 10 the depth of two
feet from Terminal Junction to Bur
liDgton, a distance of one-half mile,
also reaching the elevation on which
the c. & p. tracks are laid All the
low territory in the north part of town
was covered last evening to the dep-h
of one to three feet. The Laughlin
tin plant was forced to shut down in the
early part of the day, rs the water was
up in the fly wheel pit. The Belmont
brick and tile works, situated directly
opposite. were entirely surrounded by
water, although it had not reached the
floor Of the drying room.
At Warrenton the Wheeling and Lake
Erie tracks are covered to the depth of
over six feet, while the back water in
the creek at this point has covered them
for over a mile and a half back Of the
town, causing operations on the road
to be entirely suspended. The com
pany. in view of the rising water Tues
day evening. ordered all trains of the
river division to the main line, conse-
quently all traffic, freight and passen-
ger. is literally dead.

danger of back water took time by the
forelOck and removed all goods stored
away in their cellars and took precau-
ton against any unexpected rise Some
of the cellars of the business houses
on Pike and Bank streets were par
TALLY filed with water that had backed
up in the sewers and the creek. The
water IN Wheeling creek flooded the low
lands and filed the cellars. Several ndr-
row escapes from drowning were re-
ported. q number OF them being with
out foundation. The b., B. & NJ. T..
street railway company was forced to
suspend tract and remove their cars to
higher and safer ground. The water
reached the fly wheel pit at the power
house above West Wheeling Tuesday
night and yesterday the tracks were
inundated at several place between
Bridgeport and Bellaire.
The c.. l.. & W. tracks between
Bridgeport and Bellaire are covered at
several places. and all trains are now
stopping at Bridgeport, travel to Bell
aire being suspended. Their tracks
from Bridgeport to Martins Ferry are
also covered at Koehnline's crossing,
causing all freight traffic to be sus-
pended on this end of the line.
The water had reached its highest

TOUGH RESORTS MUST GO.
This is Said to Be the Determination
of COuncilpen.
The Committee on Petitions and
"Reminiscences will Investigate
Places Conducted by Applicants
for Saloon Licenses An Incident
in Council Meeting Which is a
Straw.

Proprietors of saloons, with drink
ing rooms attached, for use of both
sexes, are just now uneasy, for it is be-
ing whispered about that it is the de-
termination Of number of Council
men to refuse to grant licenses for these
resorts.
There was a little incident at the
meeting of Council Tuesday night,
which is regarded as a straw indicating
the direction in which the breezes are
moving. The application of Joseph
Barum & Co., for coffee house license
at No. 1922 Main street, was rejected.
Mr.. Barum is an eX-policeman, and has
conducted a saloon on Market street.
The saloon at No. 1922 Main street has
been conducted by Mart Chisnell, and
has drinking rooms in the rear, which
have been frequented by both sexes In
answer 10 a query from member or
Council, a member of the Committee
on Petitions and RESPONSIVENESS, told
why the committee reported unfavora-
DAe ufO-4 LAAt cHRAANtANADAA VI ~fe'A $500
Co.
The explanation of this member IS
understood TO apply generally to all sa-
looms of this class. He stated that the
committee would probably turn down
the application later, and did not want
TO recommend II at this time, as the
new firm might spend several thousand
dollars in improvements, which would
practically mean waste Of money.
The saloon licenses date from May
LIST. They are acted upon by the Coun-
ell Committee on Petitions and Remon-
strances. and by Council. during the
month Of April. 1t is understood that
the matter has been under discussion
by the committee, and that there is an
implied understanding that the mem
Der from each ward will investigate
the saloons in his own section, in order
that the committee may have the IN
formation which it desires when the
applications are made This is in line
with the reforms recommended by the
Mayor in his first annual message
While il would be folly to predict the
action Of the committee, 1t may be
safely asserted that there Will be a
more searching investigation of ques-
tionable resorts than heretofore, and It
is likely that several applications Will
be rejected. There are a great many
saloons in Wheeling which have drink
inc rooms attached. and while they are
generally conducted in an orderly man
ner. they are frequented by dissolute
women and their male companions
There are also resorts in which lodg-
ing can be secured without any ques-
lions being asked. Resorts OF the lat
ter class. however, do not flourish 10
such an extent as do the saloons with
wine room attachments.
