With regard to the latter, it is sufficient
TO say that the Opera House band will
play. Mr.. Edmund Yahn, of Cincin-

the soloist. His remarkably pure,
strong and sweet baritone voice will be
remembered by Wheeling lovers of
music. When he appears tomorrow
his voice will have the artistic touch
which culture and competent training
give.

The Council Commute on Streets, AL
leys and Grades assembled last evening
at the City Hall, pursuant to adjourn
ment last week, to resume considera-
ton of the ordinance submitted by the
Wheeling Railway Company for addi-
tional loops on the Eighth ward and on
the Island. City Solicitor Nesbitt was
not present, and the meeting was tinal-
ly resolved into star chamber ses-
sion, even the reporters being expelled,
something which had not occurred in
the consideration of public business for
a long time back, and course which is
decidedly open to criticism. That used
to be the plan of operation by Council
Committees away back in the days OF
the old Ark but it has been presumed
for a decade or more that public bust
ness, in which the public is interested
is to be transacted in public. Some OF
the City Hall people, however, appear
to be of the impression that public bu-
siness should properly be transacted
behind closed doors, and they will prob
ably continue to do it until fuss is
made about it.
In addition to the members of the
Committee, Messrs. Peterson and Hol-
loway, Directors of the Wheeling Rail-
way Company, and Mr.. Erskine, coun-
sci, were present until expelled, along
with the reporters. Several Island cit
liens were also present, in the inter
ests of the petition submitted at the
former meeting, calling for the paving
of Cromwell street by the Railway
Company. and the taking up of the
abandoned line north of that street, IN
case the loop asked for is put down.
They addressed the Committee briefly,
and then the doors were closed and the
gentlemen interested as citizens, etc.,
were left to cool their heels in the cor
ridor.
What transpired in the secret session
is largely a matter of guess work. but
it was stated upon reliable authority,
that it was the sense of the Committee
that in consideration of the grant in
the Eighth ward the Company should
pave the full width of the street. from
Wood to Eoff, on Forty-third, south on
Eoff from Forty third to Forty-eighth,
and west on Forty-eighth from Eoff to
Jacob. 1t was also made a condition
that the new line in that portion OF the
city should be connected with the near
est existing line, whether it be the
Wheeling or Citizens line, whereas the
Company asked that the new line be
Wheeling line. Some conditions were
also imposed on the Island, and it was
reported last night that the form of the
ordinance was such that the Company
could not accept it. and that it might
lead to the abandonment of the car
lines north of Zane street, unless the
Company made loop through it's own
property, and that all cars for the Ohio
side might run via Bridgeport. The
Island people ask, among other things,
for a twelve minute service, between
$50 a. m. and 1870 p. m.
The net result of the session was the
reference of the ordinance to the City
Solicitor, and this will necessitate an
other meeting, as that officer will have
to report back.

A LANDMARK.

The row of brj1k houses on Twenty
seventh street, owned by the Spears
Axle Company, is now being torn down.
The row was an old landmark, having
stood for quite numbers of years. The
company purchased the property from
McShane Lee about a year ago. 1t is
very likely that an addition to the axle
works will be erected on the site some
time in the near future. The lot of
ground is east of the plant and can GER
tainly be used to advantage.
