The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-08-26

coined by Treasurer Holloway and H.,
| l.. Cook, OF the works. These gentle-
men made the rounds or the plant with
the visitors, showing them everything
| from one end to the other. The delega-
ton saw the rolling mills and the GAL
Yanlzing departments but In some way
or other the crowd became divided and
only about one-thlrd went through the
tin mills, which, by the way, was one
OF the most interesting points visited
during the day. Those who did so
through were delighted with the extent
OF the industry, and II President Nc
Kinley could have heard half OF the
praise he received for making such n
thing possible he would have felt better
than he felt on the night Of the cleo
ton.
Some of the visitors who tarried lit
! tie too long watching the dipping of
the plates into the molten tin had to
run for the train and few were left,
but they came over to the city on the
electric line.
leaving the Aetna-s Standard the
train pulled up to the junction of the
Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling and Ter
minal. where a Terminal engine and
crew took charge OF the train. The run
was then made over the Union bridge,
| through the tunnels and to the PENN
sula where the crowd got in line and
marched over to Schenk's packing es-
adjustment in Fulton.
This was the first opportunity the
| delegation had to stretch out, MS Il
were and. as 1t crowded along the pike
and across the road. II resembled an
immense army One small boy asked
President Quarter II this was the
miners on n strike"
| At Schenk's the crowd was escorted
through the extensive establishment by
the Messrs. Schenk who did everything
In their power to make the visit n
| pleasant one. The slaughter house was
the chief point of interest and 1t was
hard to get the strangers away from
| the pig KILN" The immense cold
storage rooms and the excellent engine
room came in for unstinted praise from
everybody. There were n number OF
ladies in the crowd but they would not
venture near enough to see the killing
process.
This was the last stopping place and
the crowd was brought to the Terminal
station at Nineteenth and Market
streets, where the crowd left to make
n rush for the motor 1t was too late
| to catch the 8 o'clock motor. so the
visitors had to wait until $40, when
two trains were packed and taken to
| Wheeling park. These trains could
only accommodate about half the
crowd the other half having to wait
until o'clock. A number of local mer-
chants went home for supper rather
than chance the crowd at the park, and
went out to see "l492" on the $50, Z or
1880 motors.
In summing up the trip It can be said
| that 1t was n perfect success in every
| particular. The committee left no de-
tall incomplete and the railroad men
and the agents of the various lines over
which the train was taken are entitled
to the thanks Of all who attended for
the courteous and gentlemanly manner
in which they handled the visitors.
