More Complaints neutrality-suspicious.
To Subscribers.
The Register is determined to put an
end to the stealing of Sunday papers
from its subscribers, and If the latter
will cooperate, an example will be
made of one or more of these petty
thieves within short time. Subscrib-
ers are reluctant to arrest the young
rascals when they detect them stealing
papers. The Register offers d reward
of $40 for the arrest and conviction of
any person stealing copy of the Reg
lister. and trusts that subscribers, whose
annoyance is almost equal to that OF
the publishers, will turn over to the
proper officials any thief who is de-
tectcd
The newspaper thief follows the car
rier boy, and takes papers which cannot
be left in a safe place. All trouble
might be obviated if subscribers were
provided with private lock boxes. The
complaints are most frequent on Sun
days. The Sunday Register is bulky,
and cannot be placed in window shut
tiers, or under doors. 1t is often, there
fore, left on front door steps. and

JOHNSON'S CAREER.

Johnson. who is to end his days in
prison walls, was left at the county in
Urinary when an infant. and is now
about q or % years of age. He mani
tested his disposition to pilfer in early
life, and through this fault lost the
home and good will of benefactor who
took him from the poor house at the
age OF 13 years. Subsequently, he fig
ured a number Of times in police court,
and for various petty offenses, served
terms in the county jail and the city
workhouse.
johnson was twice before convicted
of larceny, and served one and two
years in the penitentiary at Mounds
vile. He has spent most of his life in
and about Wheeling, and because of
what appears to have been the natural
bent of his mind, he has generally been
under police surveillance.

peculiar shooting ARRAY, in which.
according to reports, Miss May Coss,
Miss Mary Jones and Charles Mccoy
figured, occurred at Martins Ferry last
evening about Z o'clock.
Miss Jones and Miss May Coss re-
side at the corner of Hanover and Sec
ond streets, and according to the latter
lady's story, "A man giving his name
as Charles Mccoy called at their home
about Z O'Clock and insulted Miss
Jones, who met him at the door. Miss
Coss, who was up stairs at the time,
heard Miss Jones screaming and ran
to her assistance. Miss Coss was also
insulted, and at once ran up stairs and.
procuring a revolver. returned to the
front door and fired three shots at the
man"
The police were Immediately notified
and shortly afterwards Officers Erwin
and Westwood placed Mccoy and Miss
Coss under arrest, the former being
found ON First street and the latter at
her home. Miss Coss put up for her
appearance She claims that she never
saw the man till last evening.
None of the shots fired by Miss Coss
took effect, but the man had his face
badly burned by the flash of powder
from the revolver. They will prob
ably be given hearing to-day.

MORE TROUBLE
In Regard to the City Solicitors once al
Martins Ferry.

In Regard to the City Solicitors once at
Martins Ferry.
1t appears as though the trouble in
regard to the Office of City Solicitor has
not ended yet, although George Cooke,
the Democratic candidate, who was
duly elected at the polls at the recent
election, has filed his bond with the
City Clerk.
At the r1eeting of Council Saturday
evening motion was made by Council
man Charles Carpenter that Mr.. Cooke
be duly accepted as the Solicitor. The
motion received no second, and conse-
quently was not acted on. Then that
body passed motion to continue w. B.
Francis, who has been filling the va
cancy caused by the absence of Ernest
G. Smith, who was elected last spring
a year ago, and who shortly after his
election joined the regular army and is
now in the Philippines. He did not
resign, and Council holds that the Office
is not vacant until his term is up, one
year hence.
The action of Council did not seem
to be exactly proper in the eyes OF the
voters, Democrats and Republicans
alike, as both nominated candidate
for the Office. The Republican candi-
date withdrew few days before the
election held the first of this month.
Mr. Cooke. the Democratic candidate,
did not and was elected.
Having given his bond and being
duly qualified to act in the capacity of
his Office, Council now turns him down
and decides to have Mr.. Francis con-
tinue as their legal advisor, thus leav-
ing matters in a very queer shape.
Mr.. Francis. however, wants it UNI
derstood that he is not contesting Mr..
Cookies right to the Office, as stated in
the News yesterday, but is only abld-
ing by the decision of Council.
Just how the affair will terminate
it is hard to state as several attorneys
in passing their opinion on it since it
originated, think that Mr.. Smith Joined
Uncle Sans boys and left the country
that the office was vacant. and the peo-
pie had the right to elect man to it
at the next election held. which they
did

RECORD RUNS.

Remarkable Tonnage Output of the Wheel
ing Steel g. Iron Company.
The Wheeling Steel & Iron Company
has been in steady operation during
recent weeks, with a full complement
Of workmen, and as the works have
unexcelled facilities, the result has
been runs which have exceeded all
previous records, and will compare ia
vorably with the tonnage output Of
any plant of approximate capacity in
the Ohio Valley.
The first unusual record of the
Wheeling Steel & Iron Company was
$500 tons of product in two weeks.
This was exceeded in the two weeks
ending Saturday ls-t, in which the
tonnage output was 1000. Employees
Of the company, as well as its officials,
feel very much gratified over this very
successful operation of the plant.

Most OF the railroad tickets which
were sent out by President Howell, OF
the Wheeling base ball club, are now
in the hands of the conductors. Pitcher
Poole arrived yesterday, looking to be
in the pink of condition, and making
the tenth player on the grounds.
Others are Lyle and Jack Donovan,
both of whom claim Wheeling as their
home; Lattimer, Hunt, kim, Durett,
Wells, Crabell and Niles. Lattimer is
showing up in surprising shape, and
his hitting is remarkable. With Hunt,
Lattimer and Campbell behind the bat,
it is safe guess that one or two good
selections will be made for the catch
ing department by Capt. Lytle. Kihm
brought ravenous appetite with him,
and Mr.. Howell remarked to him that
if he plays as we'll as he eats he may
expect an advance in salary before the
close OF the season.
Messrs. Howell and Lyle have not
decided whether there will be any bal
loon ascensions, pyrotechnical displays,
street parades or brass band concerts
in connection with the opening game.
President c. B. Power has been in
vited to attend, however, and has prom
ised to be on hand. He may be accord
ed the honor or tossing the first bit OF
pig-skin to the diamond. Charlie was
some pumpkins as a twirler in We olden
days, but his good right arm has lost
Its cunning, and his base stealing ap-
paratus is full of kinks, but his coach
ing organism is still in prime condi-
ton, and he may be prevailed upon
to make speech President Jonas, OF
the New Castle club, is coming down
to witness the slaughter Of the limo
cents, and it is likely that his presence
will have the same force and effect
upon his club as if ''h'' were substituted
for the final letter in his name. Alto
gether, it promises to be gala day
from Wheeling standpoint.
Capt. Lytle has arranged for several
exhibition games before the opening
of the regular season. The University
of Pennsylvania team will be met next
Saturday, and Pittsburg College during
the following week, while on the next
Sunday, Both inst, Wheeling will open
the Canton grounds with the strong
semi-professional team of that city.
President Nick Young will rule on
the Mozena and Woodlock cases during
the coming week. The necessary afil-
davits and other papers were placed in
the hands of President Power last Fri
day, and have probably by this time
been submitted for inspection to the
