Walter Ryan Married a Fair Bridgeton
Young Girl.

"aiCor Ryan Married Fair Brtdgeton
Young Girl.
In the American Press dispatches,
published only in the PIONEER Wednes-
day afternoon, appeared the following:
MUNCIE, IND, Nov. 22-Word comes
from Washington that Secretary Long
OF the navy yesterday removed the mark
Of "deserter" from Walter Ryan, of
Muncie, who while mentally deranged
last February deserted a man-of war at
Callao, South America. Two weeks after
Ryan's marriage to prominent young
woman a year ago in Bridgeton, N. J !,
she died, and his appointment to a place
IN the navy soon followed. Saturday
Ryan surrendered to tho commander of
the training ship Richmond, who made
an oral presentation of the case to sec
retary Long, with the above result. Ryan
will be given another place on man of
war.
Walter Ryan, it will be remem bered
married Miss Edna Woodruff, the charm
ing daughter of James B. Woodruff, the
expressman. In but fortnight after a
most happy wedding, the young bride
died, and sleeps to- day in we'll kept
grave in this city. The death of his
young wife was great shock to Ryan,
and without notifying anybody enlisted
in the navy where he hoped to forget his
great grief while travelling over strange
world.
He finally went to South America. He
claims that his mind was almost blank
after he landed at Callao, where he
overstayed his shore leave. When he
realized his position he worked his way
to Valparaiso and then to Buenos Ayres,
where he got work on a cattle ship bound
to Liverpool. There he secured posi-
tion and communicated with his father,
who persuaded him to come home and
surrender himself. This he did reaching
Philadelphia last week on the Rhyland.
In the meantime his father had exerted
his influence at Washington, and Secre-
tary Long took charitable view of the
case and removed the stigma of desertion.
Ryan has been restored to his rank and
will be given another place on man of
war until he can secure his discharge
from the navy,

Builders and contractors cannot get
materials delivered on time. Prosperity
has simply overwhelmed every body,
Prices are jumping upward, and people
are willing to pay almost any price for

If the contract for the Asylum building
was to be given out next January instead

Leading Republican leaders all over

that next year there will be no opposi-
ton to the denomination of Congressman
Loudenslager. That distinguished gen.
tleman has not yet admitted he is can
didate, and it may be that business
enterprises and railroad matters in which
he is interested, may take so much of his
time that he will not care to longer serve
the District. But the people will not be
satisfied to allow him to retire. He has
reached a position in Washington where
he accomplishes much, and it is not
likely that his services will be dispensed
with if the people can urge him to con-
tinue.

bravery are unquestioned. The Regis

it has opened its columns to the promo

possible, suggests that small as we'll as

Fire Chief Cline and the members OF
the Council Committee having that
branch of the public service in charge.
are discussing Improvements for the
year 1900, and one of the most import
ant, in their estimation, is the pur-
chase of an aerial truck to take the
outfit.
1t is held, and with much reason, that
the present outfit is of no practical use
over three stories from the ground,
while the weight of the big ladder is
such that volunteers always have to
be called upon to help handle it at
fire. OF late years, and particularly
within the past two or three, high
buildings have been going up in
Wheeling, until now an altitude or
seven stories has been reached, while
six story buildings are common, some
of them not only very valuable in
themselves, but filled with costly prop
erty. 1t is claimed that a fire breaking
out on a sixth or seventh floor would
be out of the reach of the department,
as it is at present constituted, and
there would not only be resulting loss,
and danger OF life, but also surrounding
property would be greatly jeopardized.
The purchase of an aerial truck
would necessitate the purchase OF
piece of ground in the rear of the pres
emit hook and ladder house and the ex-.
tension of the building, as its depth Is
now too shallow even for an ordinary
truck. This matter will be brought up
and discussed in the Committee at an
early day.
The department must also have more
hose the coming year, and, as matter
of course, will pay an increased price
for it over previous years.
