families We're found actually freezing to
| death. These We're also removed by the
/ police to warmer quarters, where proper
treatment was given them. A number of
other cases were found in other parts of
the city.
To aid the poor on account of extreme
| severity of the weather, the county coal
contractors delivered 400 loads of coal to
destitute families. This is the first time
such a delivery has been made on Sun
day. Food and clothing were also given
out.

tween Is and 20 cases reported to the po-
lice of people being found in the streets
suffering from frozen hands, feet, ears

CASUALTIES AMONG WAGE FARMERS.
Report Concerning the W0rkmen of
Great Britain.

London, Jan. M-The official report of
the labor department of the government
board of trade shows that during the II
months ending December 81, S76S wage
workers were killed and $1,000 injured
while following their employment.
Strangely enough, the casualties among
workers in factories and workshops were
heavier than among miners or railroad
employees, 10000 factory hands having been
injured during the year, against 1900
railroad men and Go00 miners. Eighteen
thousand seamen on British vessels were
drowned during the same period. Special
stress is laid upon the fact that no less
than $50 men employed In the painting
trade died of lockjaw or other complaints
due to lead poisoning.

THE aUNsOAT awHEEIINa. "

The Committee Hopes the Sense OF ihe
Fumes OF Things VIII Induce Certain
ISiekers 10 Abandon that Injunction.
As viii DO seen in The account OF last
nights council meeting, there were two
additional appropriations for the gum
boat ''wheeilng," which is 10 be launch
ed at San Francisco next spring. The
sum Of 800 was appropriated for the
punch bowl or Suitable present" and
$50 was appropriated in addition to the
$3.50 already appropriated for china and
glass services. II seems that the Cen
trail Glass Works, in naming price for
the glass ware, bid on Just one-nalI
the number Of pieces needed, ana lsst
nights additional appropriation rectl-
fes the mistake.
Lately there has been some difference
of opinion in regard to the power OF the
city to appropriate money for a purpose
like this, and some citizens have an
nounced their intention OF preventing
the money being spent by the city,
through an injunction II necessary.
Last night an Intelligencer reporter
sought the opinion OF a well known at
torney. and he gave II as his opinion
that the appropriation could be knocked
out through an injunction.
II this opinion is correct It Is likely
that the three appropriations, aggre-
eating 5000, cannot be paid ovcr 10 the
gunbOat committee. The committee,
which Is made UP of councilmen and
citizens, has considered this phase, and
1t has been practically settled if the
appropriations are knocked out that a
popular subscription viii be made. But
the committee hopes that sense Of the
fitness of things will dissuade any cit-
zen from measures of obstruction. The
committee and the great majority of
the people of Wheeling are proud that
the navy department has given the
name of Wheeling to vessel in the now
American navy, and feel that II Will be
a disgrace 1.-THE city does not respond

II injunction proceedings are taken
in the circuit court II is assured that
the money will be raised by popular sub
scrlption.

Last nights meeting OF the city coun-
ell was one Of the busiest recently held.
There was some delay in obtaining a
quorum in both branches. but at $40
both were ready for the evenings pro-
gramme.
The feature was the report Of the city
clerk. making a statement Of the clty's
financial condition. without going Into
details which are easily extracted from
the tabulated summary OF the report
printed below, 1t can be said that the
city has not made so good a showing in
the past decade, and few or no state
ments in the history of the city have
been better. The statement OF a year
ago was a first class one. considering
that the Republican municipal govern
ment was saddled with the encumb-
RANGES left by a Democratic city govern
ment that was VIGOROUSLY incompetent,
but this years Is much better. In addl-
ton TO reducing the bonded indebtedness
of the municipality nearly 100000, there
Is a balance on hand OF over $4,000. be-
ing the difference between revenues and
expenditures. In the face Of last nights
statement, many people are now inqulr-
ing how the Register will acquire
enough nerve to continue accusing the
city administration OF extravaganza and
incompeteney.
Another feature OF the council meeting
was the recommendation OF the special
committee on Investigation Of the last
gas boards AFFAIRS. The committee
made a report, accompanied by legal
opinion from City Solicitor Boyce and
Mr.. Henry NJ. Russell. in which It Is
stated that Fluershelm has been over
paid and that the amount claimed can
DE recovered. The report also states
that the claims of the city against the
late secretary of the gas board, w. Fl.
Fee, C. W. Rixey and ]. A. Holiday &
Son. are substantial and can be collected.

SIR:-If the "klckers" and Busters"
who have been literally exercising their
privilege along the lines suggested by
their nom de plumes, relative 10 the
gun-boat, would stop TO reason mo-
ment, then open their eyes, they could
readily see that the city Of Wheeling
has not been asked to contribute a
penny toward the expense of the COM
mittee's trip to California.
The representative citizens whom
council has chosen TO select the silver,
china and glass, and to present same to
the officers of the gun-boat. expect to
arrange for their own transportation,

to pay this expense.
