STOLE A BICYCLE.


rested in Beliaire.
A man by the name of Davis and
hailing from West Alexander, went
into Uriah Vailes bicycle repairing
shop several days ago with bicycle,
and asked him if he wanted to pur-
chase his wheel which he would sacri-
fee at a very low price. Mr.. Vale
was suspicious of the gentleman and
his wheel and asked him if it was real
ly his and could swear to it. Davis
offered to take an oath, but Mr.. Vale
reconsidering, concluded to accept his
word, and purchased the wheel for
fifteen dollars. Nothing was thought
Of this matter until yesterday morn
ing, when advices were received from
West Alexander informing the au-
thorities that bicycle had been stolen
in that town by man by the name
of Davis. The Bellaire police imme-
diately communicated with the Wheel
ing authorities, and the thief was To-
Gated and arrested by officer McNichol,
and brought to Bellaire by Marshal
Bahra and locked up. He will be
given a hearing this morning before
Mayor Williams.

known citizens of Wheeling, died yes
terday afternoon at his home on
Eighteenth street. Death was caused
by erysipelas, which affected his brain.
He was belfast about week.
Mr.. Healy was Born in Ireland, in
County Cork, in 1907, and was there

time Of his death. He emigrated from
Ireland to America in 1870, and loca-
ted in Cumberland, Md. He was join
ed in marriage in Boston, Mass, to

wife about thirteen years.
Mr.. Healy came to Wheeling in 1S49,
and has been a resident of this city
continuously ever since. He engaged
IN the contracting business, part of
the time with his brother, and carried
It on successfully until about ten years
ago, when he retired on account of his
advanced age. Prior to that time he
gave his personal attention to the bus
mess, and exposed himself to the
weather in directing his employees.
During recent years he has been in
possession of his faculties, and on
bright days he has frequently walked
down street unaccompanied and trans
acted private business. By a peculiar
coincidence, Mr. Conrad Lenhart, who
was engaged in the same occupation

fore him.
ftr. Healy has contracted for some
very important work about Wheeling

ments. He laid the big main across

WILL Be No REVOLUTION
ROYAL FAMILIES IN SAMOA ARE
PEACEFUL.
EN-United States Consul General
Churchill Speaks of the Second Ele-
ment i'm the Political Arena.

In yesterdays issue EX-United
States Consul General William
Churchill gave an intelligent summd-
ry of the present status of things po-
litically in Samoa so far as the Unit
ed States. Great Britain and Germany
are concerned. Today he speaks of
the second elements embracing the
native Samoan monarchy.
"The Samoan monarchy is now In a
better situation, politically. than it
has been for years. Within the past
six months the whole of the family of
Mata'afa has made its submission
to the government of Malietoa Laupe-
pa, and has been received in full fell
lowship and its leading members have
been chosen by Faipule of the govern
ment, member of the kings council.
in connection with this union
which has reduced the rebel element
by two-thirds, the king and the gov
eminent have unanimously requested
the three powers to return to Samoa
Mata'afa and eleven other chiefs who
are in exile in Jauit for their com
plicity in the rebellion of 1892.
"This means in rebellion only the
district of Aana. which adheres to the
young Tamasese and which may num-
her 800 rifles. In this iuncture of af-
fairs it is clear that the Tamasese adj
herents, finding themselves unable TO
make u combination with the Mata-
'afa family will remain quiet during
the coming bad season (the regular
period during the hurricane months
for revolutions) aud that the Malta 'afa
family. even though there submission
is for temporary interested ends, will
remain loyal adherents of the gov
eminent, at least until they receive a
reply from the three powers about the
request for the relief of Mata'afa and
his companions.
"Financially, the native government
is i'm Il poor way. The total income Is
100000 year, derived from customs
dues and licenses, which are uniforms
| ly paid by the white residents.
"The treaty has provided for the
payment of Il capitation tax of S. a

The talk about Tammany rule for
consolidated New York does not cease.
The people of the United States, outside
of that city, viii not understand that
majority of the greater municipality,
= with eyes wide open, and supposed act
i've memories, coolly turned over the
conducting of the official affairs to
Dick Croker and an organization notorl-
Gus for its corrupt administrative meth
DDS. People at large seem TO think that
there must be some mistake. But there
is no mistake so far as the fast is con-
cerned. Tammany will rule the Greater
New York. and in ruling that city will
attempt to politically control the state,
and through it dictate the government
OF the United States, on a Bryan plat
form. Tammany, like the Democratic
party, is a party of policy ratherthan of
principle That the rule of Tammany
will he stunning if not brilliant is IN
dicated by the initial movements Of
Croker and his assistant bosses. The
chamber in which the aldermen Of the
civ are TO meet is being fitted up and
is something almost beyond belief in its
gorge0usness. Throne rooms of poten-
tates are commonplace in comparison.
Two court rooms of the City hall have
neen thrown into one and there is a
ceiling of gold leaf and walls Of solid
mahogany and onyx and marble. The
Garnet was woven 10 ORDER, the pile of
which is an inch thick in which no fOet-
fall can be heard. The smoking room
is partitioned off with a plate glass as
clear as crystal The chair of the pre-
siding officer is canOpied, the whole be
ing carved from solid mahogany and in
laid with pearl and silver and gold, and
draped with heavy silks. The senate
chamber and the chamber Of the House
IF Lords are tame and common places
beside the aldermanic meeting room of
Tammany's braves. New York will pay
for this and much else, but its people
prefer to do so. They have had enough
of economy and reform and the cheap
ness which go with them. New York
put up to Tammany, and The balance
of the United States puts up to New
York, so that Tammany's gorgeousneSs
is at the expense of the people of the
country and their institutions and inter

MKINLEY's NEW MOVEMENT.

That fhe labor interests of this coun-
try are effectively Orga liZing and com
bining is understood by nobody better
than by the politicians. Labor, the
greatest agency of civilization, upon the
results of which hang every other in
1erest, has never proved potent as a
political power because of lack of
unity or accord. With fhe manual labor
majority have gone the ignorant, the
servy and the conservative elements
which have proved a clog. The major
ity of the world in numbers have al
ways proved the minority in influencing
and directing its affairs. But labor is
organizing the world over, is combining
for sef-prOtectiOn. as capital has com
bined. and it will not be long before
capital Will be forced to make many
concessions to the power which prOduc-
ed it. Money rules the world, but the
force which produces money, which
creates capital and all values, if it ever
intelligently asserts itself, as it now
promises to do. the money power will
have to come down to the same plat
form of equality, or otherwise take a
back seat, so far as the control of the
law making assemblies and admins
traUiye and executive agencies are con-
cerned.
Among the indications OF the new
voice in affairs is not only the late labor
conventions. but it is given out that
President Mckinley means to recon-
mend, in a special message to congress,
soon after its reassembling. the creation
of a new cabinet officer in the interest
of the labor element of the country.
According to the plan the proposed new
secretary, While he will not have any
supervision over the agricultural de
Iartment, which SO largely represents
manual labor, he viii have over manu-
factures, industrial pursuits in a gen.
eral way and over foreign and interna-
tiOnal commerce. except so far as Gus
toms and the internal revenue are con
cerned The labor bureau would be one
of lis principal features, followed close
~ by that having control of the consular
service. which is under the supervision
of the state department. What will be
the attitude of congress touching this
innovation might he hard to guess. The
probabilities are that the house viii
heartily concur. But whatever the re-
suit the time is near At hand when the
labor Interests Of the country are to be
a prominent factor in its control.
