There are In Belmont county eighty
four saloons, divided among the towns
as follows: Bellaire s2; Bridgeport 15;
GAINESVILLE z; Martins Ferry 81; St.
clairsvllle 2; Belmont l, and Pease
township, outside Of the corporations, 6.
"A total revenue Of ;14.76s IS IS derived

taxes. OF this sum the state gets 81
$50 SO; the municipal police fund So
$50 q; the municipal general revenue
fund $500 II, and the county poor
fund &S,ss7 10. Fifteen years ago Bel
laire alone had slxty-slx saloons, paid
no Dow tax, and the other places where
these luxuries are supported, had twice
as many as they now have.
The sudden death Of Miss Nellie
Rankin, youngest daughter Of Colonel

shock to the community, as well as to
the family. She was great favorite In

widely known as a modest, loVable girl,

sick until her death was announced.
The city board OF education has pur-
chased the lot adjoining the Central

PITTSBURGH, Pa, july 1.-THE
American Manufacturer In Its weekly
trade review will say tomorrow:
1.-THE general conditions of trade this
week are precisely those noted at last
account. All points report the same in-
activity and all put 1t down 20 about
the same cause. In the eastern market
there are no material changes to record.
New York reports no signs Of specula-
ton In crude iron, and orders for fin
Ished products are small. Southern pig
iron producers are selling freely and
the northern furnaces are shading
prices to meet the competition. At Phil
adelphia, trade Is quiet and there Is no
anxiety to purchase. Foundry pig Ire
onB show a slight Improvement, but
grey forge Is in bad way. Some Dig
transactions in Bessemer billets are ex-
pected soon. Bar iron Is very cheap.
Pipes and tubes are firm aud the plate
mills are well filled with orders. Little
Is doing in structural iron and steel.
Chicago reports generally light
trade, by the taclt agreement OF both
sides. Some pig iron consumers are
hurrVing shipments on old orders, and
an unusually large amount OF southern
Iron is finding its way into that market.
Bessemer billets are very slow.
At Cincinnati the volume OF business
Is extremely light. The furnaces have
orders for delivery late In the season,
but that does not help present business.
There Is quite heavy buying In mer-
chant steel. Cleveland reports state
that the valley furnaces are closing
down according to agreement. Foundry
iron Is In better demand, the sheet mills
are crowded, and other branches are
rather dull.
The pig iron output at Wheeling Is
being reduced. Finished lines continue

II UST n year ago! the Intelllgencer
presented New Years sympo-
~ stun. writer's on several subjects
relating to the commercial commu-
nifty taking an optimistic View OF the
New Year. That this view was well
founded, the year which has just closed
has shown conclusirely and beyond
cavil. In the iron and steel, pottery and
glass industries Wheeling has enjoyed
prosperous year, and In most OF the
other branches of trade that made up the
Industrial and commercial Wheeling the
same marked improvement has been
experienced. As will be ecen In the con-
1rlbu.ions from writers In this mornings
paper, O hopeful view Is taken by all,
and reasons for further improvement
given which will not be contradictei.
Perhaps the most significant showing
of progress and improvement Is In the

clcs. which have caused for charitable
purposes the niinglng OF artistic and
musical scts with those strictly social,
and In u measure lent the encouragement
the enlightened part OF u community
should to the dlstlnctlvely artistic part.
All first class attractions in the theatre
were well patronizcd by society, the gem
tlemen for the greater part in full dress,
the beauty of the ladies' as much en-
HANGED as would be considered good form
In building with no private boxes. By
the way, real proof that Wheeling So
ciety Is supposed to be wanting to do
rs is done In metropolitan cities was
furnished the night of the production of
1.-THE Royal Box" by Charles Coghan
and his excellent support. The "boX"
which had been temporarily constructed,
as necessary concomitant of the story,
was noticed !mediately on arrival OF one
in the audience. and looking at It mo-
ment. the person turned to q companion
and said, who OF the smart set, Won
der, are going to occupy that" The
answer whats the name OF the play?"
brought to mind the reason for Its con-
struction.
A noticeable fact. also, In connection
with this drift is. that while Wheeling
society Is not exactly under a personal
leadership. yet Its men are more inclined
in that direction than its women, and the
most memorable functions OF the year,
aside from the Charity Ball. were beau
tifully appointed dinner and brilliant
reception dance given by gentlemen, who
cancelled their obligations to society In
the giving, and besides that. proved that
Wheeling society men can challenge the
position of host with any. The recolec-
ton OF those affairs in particular makes
the horoscope for the coming year. Din
ner and dancing will be the invitations
and while they will In some degree. d.
minish the acquaintance list, and bring
about Individual social circles, yet that Is
the outlook for the winter season OF 1898.
With the coming OF spring will perhaps
come the country club house, and society
will have the chance to show Its love of
country life, which to some extent was
done In the year just ended by long stays
from home, either In the suburbs east OF
the city or In the mountains, the favorite
haunts OF Wheelinsltes.
The erection of the country club house.
will fill a long felt want. among the up
per ten. and occupy the position "The
Fors Henry" did at Its inception. but
which Is at present only the rendezvous
OF the men, and not thrown open TO So
ciety-at-large. The Mercantile, Arlon.
Carroll and Island club houses are open
to charter members, and therefore not
Of use to the great majority Of society
outside their limits. except when entered
for especial occasions, SO the proposed
building IS eagerly anticipated and most
certainly needed. In the country club
women and men enter on equal footing
as members, and Ks roster will embrace
much Of the beauty, refinement. culture
and wealth of Wheeling's social circles,
and WILL beyond doubt. furnish thej
nucleus for the exclusive set. which IS
nov In formation and will be in full
swing In 1895. DEE POLLACK.

Our boaN OF education has provided
well for the physical comforts OF the pu.
pills. as well as for their advancement in
the various branches OF education.
Our school buildings are commodious
and comfortable, They have been sup
piled with the Very hes. furniture. and
are In every way equipped In the best
modern styla. We haze Just completed
our Clay annex. and. without doubt, the
System Of heating and rcntllatlnG this
building is not equalled by any other In
the State. Our newer school buildings
all have good eystems OF heating and
ventilation, but the Clay annex Is tho
only one In which the mechanical system
Ia used. The warm pure air Is forced
into the rooms and the impure air rc-
moved BY means OF fan which Is run
BY gas engine.
Our high school, which was first OPEN
ed In October last. Will soon stand as a
crown 10 the whole system. The attend.
ance In II IS about 2I5. while the whole
attendance Is nearly 5000, being an oS-
cess OF about 900 over former year,, The
attendance In the high school promises
TO be greatly Increased for next year. IN
all our schools the per cen. OF attendance
Is gradually increasing, while the num-
Der OF cases OF tardncss Il growing
smaller all the while, It Is frequently
remarked By strangers whiting our
schools. most OF whom ara tedchers, that
