The time for the annual meeting Of
the Ohio Valley Improvement Assocta-
ton is approaching, and so far Wheel
ing has taken no steps toward being
represented, though 1t is possible no
other community on the river Will be so
largely benefited by the achievement
of the objects the association is work
ing to consummate.
The associations meeting will be held
at Evansville, Ind, on Tuesday, October
~, and already Pittsburgh, Cincinnati.
Marietta, Huntington, and other com
munitles on the river have selected
their representatives. The Intelligencer
suggested to President Quarter, of the
chamber of commerce, that when the
chamber OF commerce takes up the
matter OF selecting delegates TO the Ev-
ansyllle meeting, the question or going
after the 1898 meeting of the assooia-
ton for Wheeling be considered, Mr.
Quarter believed that such q move-
ment would meet with success, ana
stated that q meeting of the chamber
of commerce would probably be held
next week, when the preliminary work
OF preparing for the 1898 reunion or the
Society OF the Army of West Virginia
would be taken up, and Mt which he
would have the selection Of delegates TO
the Evansville meeting of the river as
ISOLATION brought up, together with
consideration OF the project to bring TO
Wheeling the next meeting Of the lat
ter.
The expense attending the entertain
uaent and reception of the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association would not be
heavy, for the delegates-made up
mainly of men representing commercial
bodies-are not those whose freight has
TO be paid by their entertainers. The
first meeting of the association was
held in Cincinnati, and the second
that of 1S9G-at Pittsburgh. Now that
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Evansville
have been recognized, 1t Is not more
than mere justice that Wheeling should
be voted the 1898 meeting. and II the
local people send O. strong delegation TO
Evansville and make the spirited con-
test Wheeling put up at Columbus for
the Army OF West Virginia reunion,
there is no doubt OF the success that VIII
attend their efforts.
NO city on tne upper river VIII Ee-
celve as great benefit from the success
full contamination Of the purposes OF
the association as Wheeling, and for
that reason 1t is generally conceded
that Wheeling should entertain the as
ISOLATION next year. with the conven-
ton held here, the merits Of the i'm
provement the association is working
for would be brought before the Wheel
ing public in way 1t could not be laid
out IL the meeting is he'd elsewhere.
The association Is now engaged in an
effort to have slackwater navigation
extended from Merrill's, Just below
Pittsburgh, to Marietta, so 1t is seen
the fight is one of vital interest to this
community, and to the many Industrial
communities between Pittsburgh and
Marietta, including East Liverpool,
Wettsvftte. New Cumberland, Steuben-
vile, Wellsburg, Moundsville. Bellalre,
Martins Ferry and Sistersvllle, All Of
these towns should have representa-
tlves at the Evansville meeting,

Miss NJ. NJ. Stewart, the young lady
who has been here for several days en-
gagged in training the local talent that
will appear tonight in 1.-THE Life and
Times of John Wesley" was the heroine
in scene in real life yesterday after
noon. Although Miss Stewart is rather
small ana somewhat delicate, a number
of her friends are willing to testify that
she possesses abundance Of what Is
commonly called 'nerva" During the
afternoon, while Miss Stewart was
walking down Market street, she saw a
team starting to run or and, as the
street was crowded with pedestrians,
she saw 1t was very likely somebody
would be hurt. Losing no time, the
young lady ran out in the street and
braYely sprang at the head Of one Of the
horses, catching the bride and soon
bringing the frightened team to n stop,
but not until she had fallen against a
curb and spralned her ankle.

tin Fox and George Z. McNeill, the
fraterpa! delegates from the Fedora
tion to the British Trade Union con-
gress which assemblies at Birmingham
during the first week of September.
The British delegates to this body are
now being elected. All the labor men,
bers of parliament will be in at
tendance aud a large number of ques-
tions of special Importance to the wage
earning class are on the sgends for
consideration. The eight-hour ques-
tion especially is to be made ex-
haustively considered on the basis of
the experiments made at the Stafford
iron works and elsewhere. The pro-
position for a yearly holiday or labor
day legalized by act of parliament will
also be definitely acted upon.
