THE MAN AT THE WHEEL

THE MAN Al NE W II
Above the leaping waves
That almost touch our feet
Above the passing ships
That oft we fear 20 meet,
There stands the man at the wheel
He knows the waves VIC fear
VIII calm themselves 10 sleep;
He knows the ships We dread
Their onward course will keep;
For his watch Is by the wheel
We see the rising cloud.

We fear the darksome night
He knows whore morn VIII shine.
He stands above al the wheel.
For far beyond our sight
Is His horizon line.
He sees the future path

For HIS hand is on the wheel; o,,,,,

GOOD CHEER.

When one by one the stately, silent years 49,.
Glide like pale ghosts beyond our yearnng sight
Vainly we stretch our arms to stay their flight
So soon. so swift, they pass to endless night!
We hardly learn 10 name them
To praise them to blame them,
To know their shadowy faces.
Ere we their empty places!
Only once the glad spring greets them
Only once fair summer meets them
Only once the autumn glory
Tells for them its mystic story,
Only once the winter hoary
Weaves for them its robes OF light!
Years leave their work half done. Ike men, alas
With sheaves ungathered TO their graves they pass
And are forgotten. What they strive to do
Lives for a while in memory of few,
Then over all ObliviOns waters flow
The years buried In the Long Ago - -,

SOME SMALL. SWEET WAY"

There's never rose In all the world
But makes some green spray sweeter;
There's never a wind In all the sky
But makes some bird wing fieeter;
There's never a star but brings to heaven
Some silver radiance tender;
And never a rosy cloud but helps
To crown the sunset splendor;
No robin but may thrill some heart.
His dawnlike gladness voicing.
God gives us all some small sweet way
To set the world rejoicing.

ENCOURAGEMENT

Down fell the Tyre; a broken string
Snapped like a cry Of pain:
"Ah," said the poet weary worn.
Il shall not sing again.
81 shall not sing, unless some heart
Doth hear and understand.
What use my songs mere idle words,
Dull fires. by poesy famed"
But ere the poets lips grew still.
There came from foreign part
A letter with these very words:
Your songs have touched my heart"
Glad rang the poets voice once more,
II have not lived in vain
Since on Gods earth there dwells one soul
Who bids me sing again"
And so | say I'm many n heart
Doth grand endeavor die.
For lack Of one true human soul
To rise and "BraYar cry.

Exactions of Ohio law Upon Those
Seeking Franchises.

The promoters of the electric rails
way from Cadiz, O., by way OF Mt
Pleasant to Martins Ferry, are making
considerable effort these days TO get the
project under Roadway. 1t is the de-
sire of those pushing the enterprise to
have matters in shape so a request can
be made to the various boards OF COM
missioners of the counties through
which the line will pass for right OF
way over the public roads and high
ways, on the 18th of August. This is
the date upon which the commissioners
meet, and at that time formal applica-
ton will be made for franchise TO
the commissioners of Harrison, Jeffer-
son and Belmont counties. The Ohio
law is peculiar in so much that it shuts
out mere speculative movements or at
tempts to acquire rights of way for the
promoters are acting in good faith and
really intend to develop the enterprises
which they propose, such persons are
required to have a preliminary survey
and profile made of the route proposed
to traverse, and the latter must be
presented to the commissioners when
application is made to them. The pro-
moters of the Tri-County line are now
making haste to comply with this pro-
vi n
secure the consent of three-fourths of
the AUDITING property. 1t is understood
several Wheeling parties are interested
in this new railway scheme.

CONV ENTION CITY
To be Named at Committee Meeting
Friday--A Snarl at Martins Ferry.

There is no little interest manifest
in the towns over the river with re-
gard to the meeting of the Republican
Congressional Central Committee of
at Martins Ferry tomorrow. The
questions that will come before the
committee for discussion and settle
ment are, time and place for holding
the convention, and the apportion-
ment of delegates to each of the five
counties in the district. The time for
the assembling of the convention will
likely be set for date early in Sep
TENDER and the representation from
the counties will not vary greatly
from that which has existed in the
past. The point about which general
interest clusters is the selection of a
town in which to hold the meeting. A
few days ago Committeeman Theo-
dore Kellar, of Martins Ferry, after
some diligent effort secured the con-
sent of the other committeeman to the
holding of the convention in his town,
but. since that time obstacles have
arisen which may result in the affair
being pulled off at some other place.
1t appears some of the prominent Re-
publican politicians of Martins Ferry
have been pouring cold water on Com
mitteeman Kellar's ambition in this
district and this may result in re-
consideration of the matter when the
committee gets together. The local
paper of Martins Ferry decries the eff
fort to hold the convention there on
the ground of a lack of hotel accom-
modations, while at the same time it
parallels the deprecatory article with
an half-column boost for a firemen's
convention, which would represent
quite as many people and at the same
time would require a $500 bonus to be
raised. This has led some of the Re-
publicans over there, who have the
best interests of the town at heart to
think the objectors have some sinister
motive in driving the convention else
where. The friends OF Candidate
Weems are anxious to have the con-
vention held in Belmont county, and
if Martins Ferry does not care to as
sumo the responsibility, Bellaire will
be pleased to act as a substitute.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRI AL.
A FAIRLY GOOD THING.

Yesterday Mr.. Andrew Schick, a
son of the late Martin Schick. of Bel
laire and a man very well and most
favorably known in that city, as we'll as
in Wheeling, passed through the city
with his wife en- route to the European
coast cities where he will spend sew
weeks. Mr. Schick is now engaged in
the window glass business, five miles
from Marion. Ind. In talking about
his business yesterday Mr.. Schick said:
Eve are doing very we'll. We de-
clared cash dividends of 125 per cent.
last year, and will declare dividend
of 100 per cent. this year, at least. This
is not in stock, but in hard cash While
we have about $4,000 invested, in one
way and another, our capital proper is
only $4,000. We made a new profit of
$4,000 last year, and will make nearly
as much as this. We have not entered
the combine, and will not do so. We
have even refused to give an option on
our plant. We prefer to remain indie
pendent"
Mr.. Schick left Bellaire in 1884. and
after his long absence made a number
OF enquiries after old friends in that
city as well as in Wheeling.

FIVE CHILDREN BURNED
By an Explosion Of Natural Gas
Yesterday Afternoon.

NONE OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE
WE'RE SERIOUSLY INJURED
ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A
MATCH BEING THROWN INTO
A STREET MAN HOLE OF THE
WEST VIRGINIA GAS COMPANY.
Yesterday afternoon between one
and two o'clock there was quite a SER
ious explosion of natural gas in a man
hole of the West Virginia Natural
Gas Company, on McCulloch street,
near Thirteenth, East Wheeling, which
resulted in slight injuries to five chill
dren
This man hole, like most others, is
generally we'll filled with gas, and
small boy, from pure ignorance, threw
a lighted match into it. The explos-
ion Immediately followed, the iron top
of the hole being blown off, and of the
crowd of small children playing in the
immediate vicinity, five were burned,
as follows:
A daughter of Conrad Miller, burn
ed about the fact and neck.
A daughter of John Lejune, burned
on the face and hands.
A daughter of Henry Kress, burned
about the face, neck, hands and legs.
Son of Henry Kress, burned slightly
on the legs.
Son of Joseph Jefferson, slightly
burned about the legs.
The explosion naturally created a
great amount of excitement in the vi
entity, and a large number of people
quickly gathered. The children, all of
whom live in the Immediate vicinity,
were hurriedly taken to their homes,
and Dr. c. NJ Frissel was called, and
attended to their injuries. In no in
stance will the burns amount to much.
but the entire crowd of small fry had
a close call from serious injury The
Kress child was more painfully injur-
ed than any of the others, as the in
juries extended over a larger portion
of the body, but even in her case no
serious danger is to be unprecedented.

tanning $25. The touch was made
