A BOLD ROBBERY

Which Took Place in the Fifth Ward, Ear
~ friday Evening.
Friday evening between quarter
after eight and eleven O'Clock, bold
robbery took place in the upper portion
OF the Firth ward.
The victim was Mr.. H. L. McKown,
whose place of business as a plumber
is just at the south end of the Market
street bridge, on the west side OF the
street. Mr.. McKown left the store
about quarter after eight, eXtinguish-
ing the lights. About eleven o'clock a
friend noticed light in the rear por-
ton of the store, and reported the mat
ter. An investigation showed that
thieves had landed il the creek from
skiff, entered the store by going under
it and coming up through a trap door,
and had taken a considerable amount
of goods, including a plumbers fur
mace, about two hundred pounds of
lead pipe, a sample case containing
two gallon can, lot of tools, and lot
of brass valves and fittings. These
goods were carried down the creek
bank to the skiff, and were thence car
ried off via the river, presumably to
the Ohio side.

There promises to be considerable diff

There promises to be considerable diff
ficulty and opposition encountered be-
fore any plan is consummated to draw
local tin plants in the big tin plate
trust that is being organized by man
ufacturers of the country. Since the
scheme was proposed at recent meet
ing of manufacturers held in Pittsburg
the idea has not been cordially re-
ceived by all local parties interested
in the tin mills of Wheeling and vi
cinity. Friday two of the heaviest
visited their mills and interviewed
number of the worhmen on the subject,
getting their opinion. The stockhold-
ers volunteered the information that
they were strongly opposed to the tin
trust getting control of the LaBelle
plant and so far as their votes and in
uuence could be used they would pre-
vent it.
Similar opinions are said to have
De6n expressed ny OIu0T SlOChuOlu0TS
and the indications are that the scheme
is not unanimously popular among peo-
pie here who have their money invest
ed in the plants. Both the Laughlin
and LaBelle, the leading tin plate con-
Germs of this neighborhood, are steadily
employed and have been running full
practically since first started and have
plenty of orders ahead.
To some of those interested, at least,
the reason or benefit of change is
not clearly apparent To workmen
generally around here the plan has not
been favored, particularly those who
are employed at the LaBelle and
Laughlin plants. They have not hesi-
tated to express themselves as opposed
to the trust and do not believe the
local concerns will go into the combine.
They say that the history of the nail
and glass trusts should be strong
enough lesson to Wheeling.

less. Lasting Cure.
There are plenty of pile cures which
give relief and sometimes cure mild
case of piles, but there is only one
which can be depended upon with Ger
tainty to cure obstinate, long standing
cases and that is the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
Endorsements and testimonials are
received daily from men and women
whose integrity and reliability are
above question and in this connection
a letter received from the Rev. Jas. Il.
Westbrook, of Bovine, Mich, may be OF
interest to pile sufferers who have
sought in vain for cure. He says:
| have used the Pyramid Pile Cure
and know that it is ali that is claimed
for it. l had been troubled with piles
more or less for about eighteen years
and had tried other remedies. but the
piles grew worse until about ten
months ago l used the Pyramid Pic
Cure. 1t gave almost instant relief and
l have been free from piles ever since.
Rev. Jas. H. Westbrook.
Mr.. Frank Smith, the well known
and popular druggist. of Ypsilantl,
Mich, in speaking Of the Pyramid Pile
Cure, says: "a year ago sold Z. =.
Potter, 119 Hamilton ST.. Ipsllantl,
Mich, box of the Pyramid Pile cure.
He made the following statement to
me to-day: I have been troubled for
twenty years with itching piles. Have
tried nearly everything that promised
relief, but got very little help until one
year ago l called on my druggist, Frank
Smith, and got box of the Pyramid
Pile Cure. The one box used according
to directions was, in my case, perfect
cure, as year spent without any
symptoms of the trouble has con-
WINGED me.
Although a comparatively new rene
dy, it's popularity is such, that all drug
gists now sell it; if your druggist
hasn't in stock, he will get it for you
if you ask him at so cents and Sl.oo
per package.

OTHER CASES.
More Irregularities Said to Have Been
Discovered in Marshall County.

1t is currently reported that irreGu-
larities have been discovered in the
construction Of the bridge at Jim's run,
below McMechen, and that the matter
will be investigated soon. The bridge
was built by a former board of Mai
shall county commissioners, and is
said to have cost as much as some of
the larger structures across Fish creek.
1t is stated that the Marshall county
court will investigate the matter as
soon as it has completed the canvass
and election recount which is now in
progress The facts concerning the build
ing of the bridge are said to have not
been discovered until recently, and it
is expected that developments will en-
sue which will be as fully interesting
to the people of Marshall county as
those of recent date in which members
of the county court have been unfavor-
ably connected.

about an hour later. Either the
wounds about his head or breast alone
would have been sufficient to cause his
death.
Just whether the victim was aware OF
the scond car approaching him or not
will probably never be known. 1t is
said, however, that the car which he
was killed by did not have headlight
on it.
Martin Coss was sixty seven years OF
age and the greater part of his life fol-
lowed the occupation of coal miner.
He was twice married, being the father
of one child by his first wife and three
by his second, all of which are living.
He served in the army during the civil
war and was member OF Branum
Post, no. 221, G. A. R., of this place,
under whose auspices the funeral Will
take place Monday afternoon at 1
o'clock from his late home.
About seventeen years ago protner
of the victim of yesterdays accident
was killed just beyond Wheeling creek.

Martin Coss, an aged resident OF
Bridgeport, met his death yesterday
morning a short distance below that
town under the wheels of B., B. &
NJ F. street car.
The fatality occurred about half-past
six O'Clock in the morning, >and whose
fault it was is hard to state.
From what could be learned the ac-
cident occurred about as follows: MI.
Coss, who is employed at the c., l.. o.
w. transfer wharf at West Wheeling,
left his home in Kirkwood about TWEEN
ty minutes after six o'clock to go to
his work. When a short distance
north Of the B., B. & NJ. f. power
house, two street cars which were go
ing south came up in the rear OF him.
Coss, it is generally, supposed, got OF
the track to let the first car go past,
and not knowing another car was fol-
lowing, got on the track again. Mo-
torman Frank Williams, who was on
TIE S6CUlu Cal, saw uILl duu oouhuSV
his gong. Coss, without looking
around, stepped to one side, and just
as the car was about to pass him step
ped over onto the track. The motor
man made every effort possible to stop
his car, but did not accomplish 1t I'M
til the front truck had passed over the
unfortunate man. He was removed
from his position in an unconscious
condition, presenting a CHASTITY sight.
There were several ugly scalp wounds
which bled profusely; his right leg
was all but cut in two at the ankle, his
ribs broken and the bones in his breast
crushed He was taken back to
Bridgeport and carried into the Hotel
Main. Dr. A. ]. Heinlein was sum-
moned, but his assistance was of no
avail, the unfortunate man dying

A Question which Holiday Purchasers Arc
Debating.
Where is the best place to buy jew
elry?'
This is question which thousands
OF persons are asking, on account OF
the approach of the mid-winter holi-
days OBVIOUSLY the place to buy is
where the best articles can be pur-
chased for the least money. That
place is Shelf Bros, corner Main and
Eleventh streets.
'Vhe success of this firm has been
without a parallel in Wheeling, and
the position which it now occupies, at
the head of the jewelry houses OF the
city, has been attained by honest deal
ing aud fair prices. When the nrm
opened up a modest establishment
about six years ago, 1t was with the
determination that every article should
be just as represented and should be
sold at reasonable profit. 1t soon ac-
quired a reputation for reliability, and
customers placed absolute confidence in
the representations of the firm. A
rapid increase in the volume OF trade
made new and more commodious quar-
tiers necessary, and Shelf Bros, now
have one Of the handsomest and best
located store rooms In the city.
1t is not it's reliability alone which
is responsible for Shelf Bros success.
A good article of jewelry is the first
thing desired by the buyer, then comes
the price. which must be right. So far
as the quality of goods is concerned, an
inspection of Shelf Bros stock Will
satisfy any person that it is not eX-
celled anywhere. In the matter
Of prices the firm is fortunate.
Shelf Bros buyer is known to
the trade on account Of his close
figures and the care exercised i'll
the inspection of goods. Every trans
action is for cash, and any business
man knows the advantage of cash pur-
chases. These facts, with the add1-
tional fact that Shelf Bros. are salts
fed with lower profits than most deal
ers, enables them t. mark goods at
figure which in very many instances is
as low as the buying price of other
firms, and never as high as their sell
ing price.
Shelf Bros. are making unusual Of
fers in Diamonds and Watches in or
der to induce holiday buyers to call
early, on account of the expected rush
during the fortnight preceding Christ
mas. Selections may be made, and the
articles will be kept for the purchaser
provided deposit is made. The hoii-
day sock is now complete, prices are
lowest, and facilities for examination
Of goods are unexcelled. Holiday buy
ers should not delay until few days
before Christmas.

WAS A SUCCESS.
A Large Crowd and Fine Time at
the Ball Given in Bridgeport Fri
day Night BY the Belmont Union.

The ball given Friday night at the
Bridgeport Opera House by the Bel
mont Central Trades and Labor Union
was an eminent success, socially and
financially. The evening was spent
pleasantly without the least occurrence
to mar the enjoyment of the evening.
The ball was largely attended, quite
number being present from this city.
The affair netted a very satisfactory
sum, and the proceeds, which will be
used to assist the central labor organ
ization of Belmont county, will help
largely the object in view. The object
was worthy and deserved the liberal
support it received.
