David Tamplin Presented With a Hand
some Diamodd Stud.
David Tamplin, who recently resign
ed the position of superintendent of the
roll turning department of the Aetna
Standard mill, left yesterday after
noon for Locust Point, Md, where he,
in company with a number of others,
will operate tin plant. Yesterday
afternoon he was given quite an agree
able surprise. in which the employees
of the entire mill showed their appre-
citation of him.
A committee of seven representing
the employees of the mill dropped in on
Mr.. Tamplin unawares at his home,
and Mr.. Thomas Lloyd, on behalf of
the employees. presented MIR. Tamplin
with a diamond stud, valued at $50.
Mr. Tamplin made an attempt to re-
spond to this mark Of esteem which
was bestowed upon him, but utterly
failed. Mr.. Tamplin has been in the
employ of the mill for a number of
years. and through his manly charac-
ter and principle has made many warm
friends who will greatly miss him.

DON'T LIKE THE IRISH.

An Amusing Feature of the Case, Now
Being Heard in Justice Court, OF Henry
Baer, Charged With Felonious Assault
Upon Martin Thornton.
The case of Henry Baer, charged
with feloniously assaulting Martin
Thornton, came up for a hearing yes
terday morning in a Justices court.
A number of witnesses were examined
yesterday morning, and the case was
continued until 7:30 o'clock last even
ing. The entire time till after nine
o'clock was consumed in hearing the
testimony Of the colored janitor en-
ployed by Baer. The janitor testified
TO the building of flower mounds, vines
and flower racks against Martin Thorn
tons wall, driving spikes into the wall,
wetting the wall with a hose, etc.
The attorney for Thornton gave the
witness a rigid cross-examination and
endeavored TO show that the witness
was biased, that he had TO testify il
DdeI DcudIl III OluSl W uOIu ulS JOD,
and that he had been a disturbing fac
tor in causing discomfort between the
two families.
The reciprocal dislike of the negro
race Tor the Irish was amusingly shown
by the witness testimony in regard TO
a sign, with the words in green letters,
mo Irish need apply" which was post
ed in Baer's yard for the purpose Of
aggravating the next door neighbor,
who happens to be of Irish descent.
When asked if he hated the Irish, the
witness replied that he liked them
about as wei as they liked the 'NagNy."
The witness was present at the time
the alleged assault was committed. and
testified 10 seeing Thornton push the
flower rack away from his wall, and
also that he saw Baer pick up Ratchet
and threaten TO cut off Thornton's
hand unless he took it away from the
rack. The case was continued again
until this morning at nine o'clock. -.

that the tracks cannot be used by or
binary vehicles.
Mr. Paul O. Reymann said that the
Wheeling & Elm Grove Company had
no statement to make. The commit
tee then went into executive session.
Mr.. Fair asked that the petition of
the residents of Fifteenth street be
read. Mr.. Weisgerber stated that the
Committees on Railroads and Streets,
Alleys and Grades had asked that petit
lions be sent to it, and he thought she
Ordinance Committee would establish
a bad precedent in reading the petition.
This view did not prevail, however, and
the clerk read the petition, which ia
vored a five foot two inch gauge as
against the narrow gauge, and also
opposed the use of T rails.
A motion was made to take up the
w. & E. G. ordinance, and read it sec
ton by section. This was withdrawn
to allow the clerk to read the ordin-
ances of the Suburban and Wheeling
companies.
The Suburban ordinance provided
that the company pay to the city $500
per mile for each of the first ten years,
$500 for the next five years, and $1,000
after the first twenty years. Mr.. List
called attention to the period between
fifteen and twenty years, during which,
under the ordinance, the city will re-
ceive nothing. It was amended to
make the amount $500 per mile each
year for the first twenty years.
Nh Fair moved to amend the ordin-
ance by making the franchise cintinue
twenty years instead of thirty years.
Lost.
The Wheeling railway ordinance was
then read. 1t was amended similarly
to the Suburban ordinance. The clerk
then took up the reading of the Wheel
ing & Elm Grove ordinance. Chair
man Baird suggested that the ordin-
ances of other cities be first considered.
Mr. Fair offered an amendment to
Section l. making the gauge . feet ,
inches, but received no second. Mr..
Baird thought the terminus of the
track should )be the intersection of
Water and Twelfth streets. He also
objected TO granting a franchise for
Chapline. McCulloch and Fifteenth
streets. without a provision for joint
use of the tracks, inasmuch as the
adoption of the present ordinance
would virtually shut out the other two
applicants for franchises. The section
was adopted Messrs. Baird and Fair
voting no"
In Section 8, Mr.. Fair moved to
ameud> to require the company to pave
the streets which are occupied by its
tracks. from curb to curb. The City
Solicitor gave it as his opinion that
under present ordinances, the city must
pave all its portion of street, before
it can require the street railway compa-
MES to pave between the rails and one
foot on each side. Mr. Fairs amend
ment was withdrawn, and the ordin-
ance amended to require companies to
pave when the city has paved one-half
of a street.
Another amendment was adopted at
the suggestion of the Solicitor, requir-
ing companies to make changes made
necessary by the change in grade of a
street.
The reading of the ordinance was
completed. and an amendment adopted
restricting the company to a five cent
fare to Wheeling Park. Upon motion
of Mr.. Hazlett. the ordinance will be
recommended for adoption to Council.

How to Uplift Silver.

a combination might be difficult TO
form 1t would probably not be half so
difficult as the capturing of the gov

proposition to coin silver free into 16 to

about 36 to /.

silver dollar, amounting now almost TO
so per cent, is anything but desirable.
For these reasons the fall in the mar
ket valuation of silver Is to be re-
gretted. But IL is not to be remedied In
a manner different from the method
which would be employed to check the
fall in the price Of any other, COM
modify. Anthracite coal went through
silver's experience not long ago. There
was an overproduction, the market
rating dropped below the line of safety
to producers and they finally Coop
Grated to restrict the output to mt the
demand, whereupon the price went up.
Silver is different from coal in respect
of the fact that 1t Is not destroyed by
use. and that would make more difficult
the regulation Of its price by a restric-
tion of production But while this
remedy would require longer time
than in the case of either hard or soft
coal. II is the only one which offers
any promise of ultimate success and
therefore merits trial
Real friends of silver will do well now
to counsel the abandonment of the
hopeless attempt to lift that metal up
to parity with gold by legislation.
Failure along this line. which is inevi-
table. only causes silver to fall lower.
The commercial process of a limited
production until the need for silver
shall be greater than its available
supply Is the one and only cure now
left for the ills resulting from the
white metals abasement, and it cannot
too soon be applied.

The First Gubernatorial Gun.

What Is. we believe, the first formal
announcement of a candidacy for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination
in this commonwealth next year mas
lust been made at Erie by Congress
man Charles w. Stone of Warren. Mr.
Stone frankly avows his desire to be
honored by his fellow. Republicans
with this important trust and init
mates that If successful in his ambi-
tion he will administer the office in
freedom from factional influences and
for the broadest good of the greatest
number The platform is like the man
clean, honorable and elevated. Mr..
Stone is one of the ablest members
now serving in the American congress,
and his wide experience in both state
and national affairs would admirably
equip him for the duties of the COVER
norship at Harrisburg.
1t is early yet to consider the guber-
material problem, and in the present
condition of Republican state politics
he would. indeed, be courageous man
who, with any regard for his reputa-
tion as a prophet, should now hazard
a prediction concerning the name of
the next gubernatorial nominee. Much
easier will it be to say what kind of a
man he should not be: as. for example,
personal chattel. fgurehead or a
tool. But in coming boldly into the
arena one full year before the tourney
is to begin. Congressman Stone sets a
good example Of confidence in his own

FOREST DESTRUCTION.
From the Boston Advertiser.

'O''' Wv DN''oii <hNNtitStl'
1t Is estimated on good authority that
the value of the timber wasted in recent
years in this country amounts to $500.
OOO,OOO or nearly half the government rev
enues for year. The estimate seems
large, and yet there are other competent
judges who might be inclined to increase
rather than to diminish the figures. To-
day, when the country seems on the eve
OF prosperity, largely because of the
crops or the west, which will be sold
abroad and Will bring millions of dollars
to this country, those who realize what
forest destruction means TO this country
wonder that this shameful waste has
gone on so long without an impassioned
protest from the American people.
