WIDE AWAKE MERCHANTS.
Who are to be Found in the Towns in the
Upper Pan Handle.

A Register representative. who has
just returned from tour of the Upper
Panhandle, found the merchants in
the localities which he visited thor
oughly wide awake and abreast of the
times. In New Cumberland, for ex-
ample, the merchants are prosperous,
as they deserve to be, for they employ
only straightforward methods and they
are fortunate in being located in such a
thriving little community.
Among the leading houses in the
different lines in New Cumberland are
the following: A. II. Stewart, dry
goods; II. C. Stewart, boots and shoes;
|. q. Bender. general hardware; C. s.
Wilson. saddlery and harness; C. s.
Bradley, general insurance agent; Will
liam Lodge, photographer; w. M. Nc
Way, grocer; j. f. Balantyne. confec-
toner and fancy grocer; E. e. CARR
son, grocer; John F. Mcfarland, res
taurant.
There are no more enterprising mer-
chants in the valley than Carpenter &,
Gilchrist, who conduct a grocery and
meat establishment at Brilliant, and
Frank Neumann, proprietor of the
Lewis House Cafe, in Wellsburg.

COMMITTEE WORK

There were three meetings of Coun-
Gil committees last night. The Com
mittee on Real Estate audited regular
bills amounting to $45.33, and insur-
ance bills for three years amounting
to $780,
The Committee on Petitions and Re-
monstrances considered applications
for liquor licenses. The following
were granted: James Robinson. at No.
1l4S Water street; J. E. Gavin. No.
290O Eoff street; Charles Och, No. 1929
Market street.
The Ordinance Committee had under
consideration the Wheeling & Ter
minal railway ordinance, asking for
trackage on Twenty-ninth and Main
streets. The question was referred to
the City Engineer, with instructions to
look up the matter of grading, etc.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1897-09-14

The Board of Public Works has de-
cided to commence the grading of
North Market street this morning, pre-
1mlnary to paving that thoroughfare.
The street is paved with fire brick
from Fifth to Seventh streets, and the
work of grading will be commenced at
Seventh street. The grading will be
done for but one square at present.
The Board has only sufficient amount
OF funds to pave about one square this
year, and it is not likely that the
work will be completed farther south
than Eighth street This will leave
two blocks to be finished out of the
revenues of next year, unless in the
meantime the city debt is refunded,
and the city is thereby enabled to COM
plete street paving and other necessary
municipal improvements.
There has been complaint that the
grading of North Market street will
necessitate the building of retaining
>
walls for all the property on the east
side of the street, but as a matter of
fact the new grade will be but from
one and half to two feet lower than
at present. 1t is fact not generally
known that the grade of North Market
street was established as far back as
1889, and at that time it was fixed five
or six feet below the present level of
the street. 1t is also not generally
known, perhaps, that all the property
owners on the east side of the street.
from Eighth to Ninth, have encroach-
ed upon the sidewalk. The sidewalk
should be fourteen feet in width, but in
several places retaining walls have
been built and steps erected until there
is but three feet of the sidewalk re-
naming. 1t is not understood that
any effort will be made, at this time
at least, to compel property owners to
remove their retaining walls from the
sidewalk.

THE LINSLY OPENED.

The Linsly Institute opened It's
doors yesterday with about the same
attendance as last year. Ensign
Blakely, Z. S. ~, entered upon his
duties as commandant Of cadets and
instructor in mathematics. He is
very much pleased with the soldiery
appearance of the cadets. 1t is the
determination of the Board Of Trus-
tees and faculty of the Linsly to make
the school work of the coming year
the best in the history of the institute.
Monthly reports will be sent to pa
ents, showing the standing of their
sons. The members of the faculty
are college graduates and experienced
teachers, who will give both individual
and class instruction.

COUNCIL TONIGHT.

Inc regular meeting of Council will
be, or should be, held tonight. Coun-
Gil has twice been compelled to adj
journ on account of inability to secure
a quorum, and some of the members
who have answered the calls are dis
posed to criticise those who remain
away A great amount of routine bust
ness has accumulated. In addition,
the stock yards ordinance will be up
as special order of business. The ap-
preparation fer the Board Of Public
Works has not been made, and the
employees of that department are be-
hind in their wages.

ALMOST CERTAIN
That the Chicago Marine Band VIII Play
in Wheeling

That the Chicago Marine Band VIII Play
in Wheeling.
1t is pretty safe to say that Wheel
ing will have an opportunity to enter
tain the celebrated Chicago Marine
Band, and the announcement will be
hailed with delight by all who read
1t. For some time past number of
gentlemen of this city have been nego-
tlating with the great organization,
but until now the figure has been al
together too high to even think of
getting date for Wheeling. As has
been published in these columns Man
ager Pew Of the band, came down TO
$1,000 for two concerts, and immedi-
ately the gentlemen interested began
soliciting subscribers to the fund and
last night about two-thirds Of the
amount had been secured.
Each subscriber is entitled TO seats
corresponding to the amount he sub
scribes. The best people of the town
have taken hold of the affair, knowing
that the Chicago Marine Band is the
largest and best this country can boast
of. There are over sixty carefully Sc
lected musicians, under the direction OF
Prof. Brooke, whose name and fame as
a musician and composer ranks first
in American melody. The place of
holding the concert has not yet been
decided upon, but it will be at one of
the parks or one of the theaters The
band will have to pass through Wheel
ing on its way from the Nashville Ex-
position to Pittsburg.

STATE CONVENTION CALLED.

Inc Miners and Operators of the State to
Meet at the State Capital.
A joint committee of the coal opera
tors and representatives of the miners
unions of the State will be held at
Charleston some time this week, prob
ably Thursday, to arrange for the re-
sumption of mining in the various dis
trlcts throughout the State. Wheeling
district will be represented. Secretary
Anderson said he had received a letter
from j. G. Robinson, an organizersof
the kanawha district, that the conven-
ton would be arranged for and that
Governor Atkinson had assured him
that he would do all in his power to
bring the operators and miners of the
State together and fix upon an amicable
adjustment Of differences on the basis
agreed to at Columbus. The miners of
west Virginia are in better condition
to secure their point than at any time
in their history.
At the beginning of the strike there
were only two unions in this State that
had paid their dues and were in good
standing in the national organization
THESE were at Benwood and at the Gill
christ mines in North Wheeling. Now
there were at least forty well organ
lied unions in the State, which would
be represented at the convention to be
held at Charleston. OF these there are
fourteen unions in the Kanawha dis
trlct, eight in the Wheeling district.
and about ten in the Fairmont region.
There are about 10000 miners in this
State, and One-half of them belong to
the organization.

ANOTHER HOT DAY.

The hot weather continued yester-
day, and there was a great deal of
suffering in the city. From the coun-
try districts come reports of diseour-
aging character. Farmers fear damage
to the growing crops from the contin-
ued intense heat. The thermometer
at Schnepf's yesterday afternoon regis
tered 81 degrees in the shade-rather
warm for the middle OF September.

The Vaudeville Club, fresh from
Weber & Fields New York Theatre.
opened an engagement of three nights
and Wednesday matinee at the Grand
last night. The company gives a re-
fined entertainment that is simply
marvellous in some of it's features.
There is not vulgar line in the dia-
logue, nor the least suggestiveness in
the situations. Douglas & Ford. tern.
sichorean artists, entertained first.
Then followed three comedy teams
which were strictly first class. and SO
pleased the audience that it insisted
upon encore after encore The Pent-
ger brothers concluded the olio with
one of the most sensational acrobatic
acts ever witnessed here. Thev fully
justified the complimentary press no
tees which have preceded them. Their

witty dialogue, funny situations, clev-

serves to rank ahead of MANY more
pretentious productions. The Vaude-
vile Club made a hit, and this fact
is certain to be in evidence during the
remainder of the engagement.
John w. Vogel has been getting ma
terial for an exhibition for the past
two years. All his plans have ma
tured and his big company, Darkest
America" will soon be here. Fifty
genuine Southern negroes will depict
the oddities of negro life on the old
plantation. A negro brass band and
orchestra, military company in drills,
are few of the many features. After
a short tour of America the company
VIII sail for Australia, thence to Con-
tinental Europe, England, Scotland,
returning to America in 1899 Dark

private sleeping, dining and baggage
