AnIpInRApLE CASE

Arraaiad for L.nnaeI,

Came to Light YoStsTday-A Young mAn
ArreatSd for Lunasy.
A pitiable case of desertion came
under the notice OF the police authorit-
les yesterday. It was that OF a young
man, both an imbecIle and an Invalid,
who had been left at Haskins' hospital,
Monday night, by a party Of strangerA
who said they would call at the hospital
on the following morning and arrange
the details for the young mans treat
ment at the hospital.
DR.. Hasklns was not at home when
the marty deposited their human bur-
den, and he discovered next morning
that he had a ut subject for an insane
asylum on his hands. The men who
promised to call didn't show up, nor
have they done 80 since, consequently
Officers Dudley and Meyer were called
on In remove the demeHted young man
TO the county jail, a lunacB warrant
having been procured from Squire Fitz-
patrick.
The young man Is about twenty-five
years OF age, and physically Is a shad-
| ow of his former self. His name
is unknown, but the hack driver,
who carried him to the hospital, says he
came from slstersVllle. There Is moth
ing known concerning him or his rela-
tives, so It looks as though he was
brought to Wheeling and abandoned
The standard appellatlon OF John Smith
was given him in preparing the war
rant.
This case Is but another sample Of the
practice adjoining towns have OF dump
ing undesirable patients on Wheeling,
and then leaving the local authorities to
care for them without even the recon-
pense OF thanks. There appears to be a
watchword, ION TO Wheeling" when
some poor creature in need OF medical
treatment. bothers the authorities Of
the towns hereabouts. Complaint OF
this practice has often been made, and
Squire Fitzpatrick Will make a strong
eflort to-day to ascertain whence John

ted.

On last Saturday County Clerk Rob-
ertson issued marriage license to Hen
" sommeryille and Lou Ella Hercules,
residents OF Ohio county in the neigh
borhood Of Short Greek, a few miles
above the city. Yesterday the county
clerk was surprised when he received
the marriage license with the informa-
ton that it had not been used. Inquiry
brought out the story of a wedding that
was slated for last Sunday, but which
didn't occur.
Miss Hercules, It seems, makeS her
home with friends near Short Creek She
d a bright and pretty girl of nineteen
summers, who enjoys the esteem Of all
who are acquainted with her. For some
time she has kept STEADY company"
with a young man of the community.
Henry sommerville by name. From
what can be learned Henry Is rather
wind ana unsteady, at least ne is han6i-
capped with this reputation.
Recently the young people became en-
gagged and the wedding was to have oc-
CURED At the home of the farmer with
whom Miss Hercules has made her home
for some time. Last Saturday. young
sommerville came to wheeling, armed
with a letter from the parents of the
gin, giving their consent to the mar
rlage, which was necessary for the rea-
son that the young woman was mot of
legal age. OF course the license was
issued, and County Clerk Robertson
supposed that the marriage had occur
red in due course OF time.
But it didn't.
It appears that sommervlIle made bis
appearance at the home Of his Aahcee
Sunday morning. AS the wedding was
to occur in the afternoon, It was sup
posed that the groom had appeared so
early out of an excess OF devotion to his
future wife. He seemed to be intensely
interested In the preparations that were
in progress for the wedding dinner, and
when shortly before noon he said that he
was going to take short drive, nobody
for a moment suspected the sequel
sommerville has not put in an ap-
pearance since he left for his Short"
drive. It Is said that he came to
wheeling and sold his horse and buggy,
and then took train for New York
state. This Is the story gathered by the
farmer at whose place Miss Hercules
resided. However. he says he does not
believe that young sommerville has
gone far away. and thinks he will soon
turn up, but even II he does return the
wedding will not occur, 50 It's said.
It is said that the scene when the
groom failed to put in his appearance
at the hour Get for the ceremony, was
most distressing. A large number Of
guests had been invited, most of whom
had responded. These. Of course, left
when it was seen that the groom had
filckered.

which caused innumernble lake craft to

BUT FEW FAILURES.
Business Generally Is Unaffected by
the War Taik--Dun Il COm-
pany's Report.

New York, April 1.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
In spite of foreign conditions since
the destruction of the Maine, Feb. 10,
failures in three months are smaller
than in the first quarter of any year
since 1856; the ratio of defaulted liabil-
tiles to payments through clearing
houses has been the smallest for that
quarter since 1856: the average of liza
bilities per firm in business has been
the smallest since 1880, and the aver
age of liabilities per failure has been
lower than ever before in any quar-
ter.
Failures for less than 100000 without
material decrease in number, We're 30
per cent. smaller than last year in
manufacturing and "a per cent. smaller
in trading.
Rates for money have advanced. The
imports of gold go far to prevent any
real anxiety. There is known to be
about $3O,0OO,0OO yet in the banks at
New York and $12 1000 900 in other cities
against which gold is likely to be i'm
ported, because there is small prospect
OF any better settlement.
The outgo of breadstuffs continue.
Wheat has declined slightly, but corn
has advanced one-quarter cent for the
week, and no one imagines that for
eign troubles can check the outgo.
Cotton has advanced an eighth.
The iron and steel market shows no
decrease, for with works fully en-
ployed and some additional works put
into operation for government pur-
poses, pig is not lower anywhere, and
at Pittsburg a shade higher for Bes-
semer, because of agreement by valley
producers while without agreement OF

SELF.SEALING TIRES.

A self-sealing tire has been patented
by A. b. Shaw, of Medford Mass. 1t
consists of a single tube, in which a lay
er of absorbent material, such as WOOL
felt, cotton flannel, cotton batting or
leather, saturated with a sticky sealing
preparation is introduced in the tire so
as to cover either the entire surface of
the air-tube or only the thread portion
of the tire. Or the inner tube can be
made in two layers, the layer of absor-
bent material being inserted between the
two, so that the sticky material may be
prevented from sticking the opposite sides
of the tube together when the tire is de-
fated In case of puncture the sealing
material is forced out of the absorbent
fiber, in which it is contained in semi
liquid state, and into the punctures,
where it is hardened by evaporation.
