The Council Committee on Streets, Al
leys and Grades met yesterday afternoon,
at the corner of Eighth and Market streets
for the purpose of listening to the protests
of property owners on the east side OF
Market street. regarding the change of
grade. All the lots on the east side of the
street, in that vicinity are high above the
street; and the fronts are protected
by stone walls. These walls, as rule,
were built a good many years ago, and
with the lowering of the street and side
walk, the owners are afraid the walls
will fall. In several instances the walls
are out on the street line. The commit
tee went over the ground carefully, listen
ed to the views of the interested parties,
and then adjourned to future time, to
receive a proposition from the property
owners as TO what proportion of the ex-
pense they will bear in the event that
the city tears the walls out. lowers the
sidewalks and rebuilds the walls in good
shape and on the proper line.

Arthur w. Bikker, Jr., is still in
Seattle. He is now considering propo-
sitions in connection with his discov-
cry on the Island of Unalaska, Alaska
He has staked two claims, and had
them recorded at Sitka, and proposes
to come to Wheeling, and to return to
Alaska in the spring.
The assayer's report on Bikkers
specimen of ore ran from $3.50 to
$40. 1t is all surface ore, and he
says that several spectators in min

will rival the famous Treadwell if
worked a few feet The discovery has
been named the Three Friends lode.
One of Bikker's partners will come on
another steamer with samples from
further development.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Council Committee on Fire Depart
ment is called to meet Monday night,
when a number of important matters will
come up for action.
The proposition to purchase another
chemical engine for the department meets
with a good deal of favor, and there are
indications that there will soon be a
movement in the direction of procuring
similar engine for the South Side One
of the undoubted needs of the department
is a larger ladder truck, and this will
call for a new engine house on Twenty
first street-something. by the way, which
has been talked of for years. If the city
goes into this matter it should erect a
building large enough for an aerial truck
and a large-size chemical, which could
not only cover South Side fires, but reach
blazas in the business district as far north
as Fourteenth, while the Eleventh street
company could more particularly cover
the retail business centre. With a large
chemical on the Island. in addition to the
present combination wagon, and an aerial
truck and large chemical in the Fifth
ward, near the creek, the Wheeling fire
department would be in pretty good shape

A New Shoe Company.

The Board of Trade is making an effort
to organize a shoe company in Mount
Holly with capital of S., 900, to be man
aged by j. Fred Kiner. The shares are
$40 each, payable in instruments. Ar
engagements have been made for build
| ing in which to locate the factory. Sub
scription papers are being circulated to
secure stockholders, and it is hoped the
boards efforts will meet with encourage
ment There is every prospect that if the
money can be raised the affair will be a
success.
There has been a general impression
that the Board of Trade has not been ex-
erting itself much to secure any factories
for the town and that the organization
had become comatose. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The directors
have worked hard to secure a desirable
and responsible manufacturer, but this is
easier said than done. Numerous appli-
cations have been received, but after in
vestigation none of them seemed to be
| just what was wanted. The directors do
not desire to take hold of any concern
where the chances of failure are too
great, believing that no action is better
| than mistaken action.
The case now under consideration is
believed to be good one. The affair is
to be conducted by local men and local
hands will be employed. This is thought
to be better move than to secure some
| factory that will give employment tc for
eign in preference to home hands, and
With strange management, whose abili-
ty and standing are matter of specula-

Last week cable message was received
by the Maritime Exchange, announcing
the arrival at Limerick of the British
steamer Darlington having on board the
crew of the American schooner Mary A.
Mott, which had foundered about 100
miles off Cape Henry on the 18th of No
vember.
OF course no further details could be
learned concerning the vessel, but it is
without doubt the schooner Mary A. Mott,
of Tuckerton, which was loaded with
James River oysters, and ready to start
for this port on the 18th of November.
The Mary A. Mott was built in Tucker
ton in 1874, and has always been register
ed at this port. She was so #. l in. long,

Capt. Arson J. Rider, of this place, was
the managing owner and has sailed the
schooner up to within the past year when
Capt. VIM. Endicott, of Port Republic,
was put in command. The Mott had
lately been overhauled at considerable
expense and was in first class condition.
Capt. Rider and the other owners are
heavy losers as there was no insurance
whatever on the vessel.
