A. D. WORK DEAD.
He Was a Former Prominent Wheel
i-g Citizen.
A Sketch Of the Life Of the De-
ceased-He was at One Time a
Member Of Council and Of the
Board Of Education.

A. d. Work, a prominent former
Wheeling citizen, and a former mailer
and ex-Union soldier, died yesterday
afternoon at three o'clock at the home
Of his son, Frank Work, on South Eoff
street.
The deceased died of what is known
as "nailer'S consumption, which he
contracted during long employment in
the nail business from the close OF the
war until 1889. He was taken serious
ly Ill several weeks ago, at SisterSville.
and was brought to Wheeling. He
grew gradually worse and a couple Of
days ago it was seen that death was
rapidly approaching. He died rather
suddenly. however, yesterday after
noon. His relatives in Sistersville
were apprised of the event by tele-
gram last evening. The news of the
death of the deceased will cause much
sorrow among his numerous friends
and acquaintance in Wheeling and
Sistersville, where he was widely
known and highly respected. He
leaves a wife and several children,
among whom is Frank, who has
grocery on South Eoff street, George,
who conducts a hotel at Sistersville,
and Harry with whom the father run
large general store in the same town.
He has a daughter, Mrs. George Dun
lap, who lives at Parkersburg. Mr..
Work was over "a years of age. He
was born in Perry county, Pa, in 1872.
He attended the public schools in
Pennsylvania and then worked in the
nail mills in that State and in Wheel
ing until the outbreak of the rebellion.
On President Lincoln's call for 10000
troops he was among the first TO volun-
teer, and was the first man wounded
on the Union side after the fall of Fort
Sumter He was shot first above the
right knee at Philippi, the first regu-
lar engagement. After his wound
healed he rejoined the army and was
at Lees surrender at AppamattoX. He
then returned to Wheeling re-entering
the nail business, in which he contin-
ued until 1889, when he went into the
grocery business. In June, 1892, he
went to Sistersville and opened up a
general merchandise store. on Diamond
street, with his son. The deceased
prospered in his last business venture,
as he had done in all previous ones.
During his lifetime he accumulated
considerable property both in Wheel
ing and Sistersville. He has held Of
fees of public trust in both towns, hav-
ing been a member of the Sistersville
school board, and during his residence
in Wheeling, a member of the Board
of Education and of the City Council.
He was also a prominent member of
several lodges.

WHEELING, 49,"
The Plans of the Epworth League for the
Current Year

The wheeling 49, Committee of the
Epworth League, which was selected on
Epworth League Day at the Moundsville
camp meeting last August. will meet at
the Fourth Street church tomorrow
morning at ten o'clock. The committee
consists of all Methodist pastors and Ep-
worth League presidents in the Wheeling
district. The object of the meeting is to
outline plans for Wheeling '9S."
What does that mean? Simply that the
great Epworth League convention of the
Fourth General Conference district. COM
posed of Baltimore, Central Pennsylvania,
Erie Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Washing
ton, and West Virginia conferences of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, will meet at
Wheeling W. Va, in the summer Of 1898.
OF course, the district conventions will
be held next year. and the conference con-
vention at Charleston on the 18th, 26th
and 9th of next May. but the great con-
vention OF 1898 is something West Virginia
must work and prepare for long in adj
vance. The first at Harrisburg. Pa. in
1892 was attended by only A delegates;
the second at Washington, d. c., by Si2;
the third at Pittsburg. by 40; the fourth
at Philadelphia. by over 500; and the fifth
last year at Harrisburg was the best of
the series. We hope TO have the largest
and most helpful one of all in '9S at
Wheeling. With a proper effort the at
tendance can he made an even thousand.
1t would be too much to expect Wheeling
to entertain many gratis. so boarding will
cost 81 per day.
Many details will have to be arranged,
and TO begin this great work is the pur-
pose of to-morrows meeting. State Presi-
dent Mathews is expected to be present.
In the afternoon of the same day at two
o'c oc1 the Board of Control of the Wheel
ing District League will meet in the Ben
wood NJ. T. church for the transaction of
important business.

A REMARKABLE RECORD
Made by an Engineer on the Firth Division
of the b. d q.


of the ID. a q.
An engineer on the fifth division of the
Baltimore ard Ohio railroad. running be-
tween Parkersburg and Grafton. and who
prefers that his name be not published.
during the past two years, 1895 and 1896
has Travelled on his locomotive the re-
markabe distance of OS,O5l.S miles. The
mind can scarcely grasp the magnitude of
these figures. 1t is equal to nearly four
ana one-third times the distance around
the earth; and travelling $50 days each of
the two years, it would be necessary 10
average a distance of a little over 14S
miles per day in order to accomplish the
feat AS a matter of fact, however this
engineer made 52i days in 1895 and 522 in
1896. according to railroad usage. which
counts the run from one end of a division
to the other Il days work. He therefore
made nearly double time. During 1895
the engineer was off duty for several
weeks. and in 1896 his engine was in the
shops for about a month. during which
time he made a few irregular trips as
extra engineer. II Was consequently nee
essary for him to make this remarkable
record outside of this time The engine
with which the record was made is a pas
sCnger engine and has made the round
trip over the 10i miles of road between
Parkcrsburg and Grafton nearly every
day of the two years. The engineer who
made the record drew i'm wages between
$500 and $1,000, or an average of over $50
per month

THE ANNUAL REPORT
Of the City Gas Board Made Public
Yesterday.
Figures Which Demonstrate that
the Municipal Plants Have Been
Exceedingly Well Managed the
Past Year, the Outstanding Bills
Being Reduced-The Light Plant
Expenses.

Yesterday the annual report of the City
Gas Board. prepared by Secretary Godfrey
schul, was made public, and an analysis Of
the figures and comparison with other
years, shows that the two municipal
plants under the management and control
of the Board were managed during 1896
with economy and care. despite the fact
that the Trustees have been handicapped
by the outstanding debt which has been
hanging over the Board since 1894.
This overdraft at the beginning of 1895
was N1.S1S.2l, and although the Trustees
appealed to Council for relief from the
heavy burden, the Board received not
one cent of the increased revenues arising
from the heavy increased taxation in 1898,
and the Board was virtually told it would
have to get along as best it could. Al
though the works were badly in need of
extensive repairs, with the tremendous
drain of free gas. and perpetual camor
for more electric lights. the Board kept
the works running during 1885, paid all
bills and wage accounts. and reduced the
outstanding debt by $52511 During the
past year the same policy has been pur-
sued, with the result that another 81.
25l.0l has been cut off the old debt reducing
it to $9,6O1.49, while S. 1908 of the 1895 bills
have been paid, and the gas works have
been put upon a good basis as regards
the physical plant. mains extended, and
coal overdrafts paid. In the electric light
department twelve new lights have been
put up during the year and over $1,000
spent for repairs and Improvements.
There are now i3i street lamps in opera
ton, paid as to running expenses out of
the profits of the gas works and
the total gross cost, including all
repairs and betterments. was but $54.7O
per lamp per year, which is as cheap as
the cheapest light service not supplied by
water power, in the United States.
The free gas account-a big drain on
the works-increased from $5.S441O in 1922
to SG.55O.3O in 1896 The Young Mems
