tic Patient Held at the City Bas-
tile.

At Bridgeport some months ago Mrs
Sophia Schneider died intestate and
shortly afterwGrd her personal effects
were sold by one of the sons. The
purchasers were doubtful of the legal
ity of the transaction and placed the
money in the hands of a third party
and awaited developments The out
come of it is Attorney Seamon, OF this
place, has filed an application in pro-
bate court for an administrator. a
COW belonging to a step-daughter Of
deceased was sold along with the other
property, and second action has been
brought to replevin the same.
A petition has been drawn up by
the attorney of Andrew Hudak and
will be filed in few days asking dam
age of the Bellaire Steel Company in
the sum of $4,000. Hudak is the man
who was burned at the steel works
some weeks ago, and he alleges the
company was derelict in not providing
foot suffered most and he alleges per-
manent injury of the former. He has
recently returned from receiving treat
ment at the Wheeling Hospital.
The grip is no respecter of person or
station and Mayor Freese has got it
just like any private citizen.
Last night the police picked up a
man who was thought to be in a
drunken stupor and took him to the
city building. 1t developed later, how
ever, that the fellow is an epileptic

VIM. Ressiger, and his home was for
merly at Bellaire, but he has been in
the institution for five years. He came
up on the Queen City yesterday.

BouaEREAUs MAS kPIEcE,
The Awakening OF Venus.

Mrs. Estelle Buoy, the noted por-
trait and tapestry artist, of Detroit
Mich, has sent here to be exhibited at
Geo. E. Stifel & Co.'S, one of her latest
productions in tapestry work, called
the Awakening of Venus.
Mrs. Buoy having seen the original
has caught the spirit and techniche
of the old master and woven it into
her work in way that reflects great
credit on the artist. Bougereau's con-
ception of love as expressed in this
painting seems to have touched ten
der chord in the hearts of the masses,
and judging from the crowds already
flocking TO see this tapestry demon
strates that the people of Wheeling APP
preciate works of art as well as the
people of larger cities. Mr.. Buoy, the
representative of this beautiful pic
ture wishes to announce TO the public
that he has given Messrs. Geo. E. Stifel
C Co. the privilege of exhibiting this
tapestry for the next ten days. No
enc should miss seeing it.

Mccoy man. and would have lost big
money on him, but Paddy Sullivan
would not allow me to bet cent" He
also said: IF Fitzsimmons and Shar-
key ever get together, it will be hard
to pick the winner. Sharkey has i'm
proved wonderfully in his foot-work
and general cleverness When he hits
a man it is nearly all off with him"
Discussing the Sharkey- Mccoy bout,
the New York Journal says: "The
contest was discussed in detail by the
hackers of both men and the general
opinion was that fairer or cleaner
ring battle never took place anywhere.
Despite the fact that a portion of the
crowd yelled foul at times and Kissed
Sharkey, it was impossible to find
sporting man of repute yesterday who
thought that there was the slightest
irregularity. Of course, Mccoy and
his seconds must be excluded. Kid
had little to say except that he thought
that the rules had not been lived up
to and that he was entitled to another
go with Sharkey."
In signed statement in the New
York Journal Kid Mccoy says: "The
unfortunate ending of my battle with
Tom Sharkey has by no means dis
couraged me. l am just as confident
as ever that l can beat the Sailor, and
would like to get another match i'm
mediately. The last thing / remem-
Der in my contest with Sharkey was
the blow l received in the stomach in
the eighth round. If Sharkey desires
me to meet some one else before he
will give me return match I will
take on Corbett, Ryan or anybody in
the world. l have just as much con-
fidence in my ability as ever and hope
some day to be the champion"
Tom Sharkey writes to the New York
Journal: 81 am now the champion of
the world and ready to defend my title
against all corners. Regarding Fitz-
simmons challenge, I will say that I
am now the dictator. l may tell the
Australian to go get reputation, but
to show the public that am fighter
and not talker, will fight Fitzsim-
mons for the championship. l have
bought many battles during the past
year, and before engaging in ans more
contests l will take rest. Fitzsim-
mons has not entered the ring in two
years. While he is waiting for me he
might take on Corbett or Mccoy.
When return to the ring Fitzsimmons
will probably be my next opponent"
Tom Ryan says of Mccoy: He does
not do as much on his feet as some peo-
pie think. He does his getting away
from his waist up by bending his head
over into striking distance to make
you lead. When you do he straightens
up, and that will make any one miss
him. After you have missed him he is
in a position to jab with his left hand.
Remember, he will have no particular
guard, only his stomach will be pulled
away in and his head will be within
striking distance. Now, when he bends
over to you and starts feinting, keep
feinting right with him, and when you
go to lead make the first lead bluff,
AS he straightens up, your next lead
will be on the square, and you are
| liable to catch him

An Artists Work-A Beautiful Piece of
Tapestry Painted by Mrs. Estelle eBucy.

At present there is being displayed
in Newcomb, Endicott & Co.'S window
a very beautiful piece of tapestry
painted by Mrs Estelle Buoy. 1t is
one of her latest and unquestionably
one of her best pieces. The work GER
tainly demonstrates her exceptional
ability.
Her talents are not confined to one
particular style of art; on the contrary,
she has been most successful in all diff
ferent ways of making pictures, and
her portrait work has won for her an
enviable reputation. Some time ago
Mrs. Buoy made crayon portrait Of
Secretary of War Alger and the pic
ture is highly priced by the Secretary's
family and friends as an excellent
likeness. She also made portraits of
Senator J. W. Moon, the late eX-Goy.
Josiah w. Begole and many others in
this State, and has had many ladies
and gentlemen prominent in Canada's
social and political life as sitters.
Mrs. Buoy is now executing a COM
mission for portraits of all the ex-
governors of Michigan, a number of
the regents of the State University and
other State officials.
Detroit has reason to be proud Of her
gifted artists.-Detroit Free Press.

Rivelmen report there will be coal
yesterdays rain. The rain, while not
heavy, was general, falling over the
whole section embraced by the upper
valleys of both rivers. 1t is the general
opinion that the 100000 bushels of
coal now loaded at Pittsburg will get
away from that point for the southern
market by Sunday. There was a great
deal of ice running out of the Allegh-
eny all day yesterday, but the rain was
thinning it out rapidly. There. was
hardly any ice in the river at this
point yesterday, and another day of the
same kind of weather as yesterday will
serve to do away with what little ice
there is left. Rain is predicted for to-
day, and if it comes there is some pro-
liability of a good sized river But it
was predicted yesterday by an old
riverman~ts,at nothing startling will
come of the expected rise. From ap-
pearances, 1T would seem that naviga-
ton will remain open for some little
time to come. although January and
February are regarded as being the
coolest months in the year, and naviga-
ton during these months is always
looked upon as being very uncertain.

INGS OF MEETING HELD

DSvILLE MEN REFUSE TO
LCIPATE.

attended meeting of the miners
Wheeling sub-district was held
city building in Benwood last
Owing to the unrest that has ex-
locally among the men connected
is industry, the interest displayed
movement was unusual and the
the meeting was responded to
sly. There were representatives
rom Glendale, Boggs's run, Elm
IA from the Richland miners up
Fer The Moundsville miners were
cuously absent, but the Glendale
ii chartered a street car and came up
an numbers. The impetus for the call was
furnished by the conditions which exist
at Glendale, where the men have been
asked to accept a ten-cent reduction.
The meeting was called to order by G.
NJ Gallagher, of Glendale, and j. A. Greg
ory from the same place, was selected to
preside. Lewis McNichol, of the Rich
land mines, was made secretary of the
meeting.
After the proposed reduction at Glen
dale was reported and discussed, a reso-
luton to hold out for the GO and 65 cent
rates was passed and a committee of
three was appointed to confer with the
national officers of the United Mine
Workers for the purpose of, organization.
The sentiment for organization was unan-
irnous.
The committee appointed to solicit the
presence of the Moundsvile men reported
they were opposed to the movement at
present and will continue to work for sc
cents.
A committee of three will meet every
two weeks until the proposed organization
IS effected
The determination to hold out for the
old rates may result in trouble where re-
auctions have been proposed

Hall tnere next thursday night. IL
will be a twenty-five round contest.
Kid Mcfarland, of New York, and
Louden Campbell, of Pittsburg, will be
matched in few days for contest at
1876 pounds, to take place at Pittsburg.
Gardner whipped Solly Smith at st.
Paul and at Buffalo. and Smith whip
ped him at the Broadway Athletic club,
New York.
Sammy Kelly, whom Gardner whip
ped several months ago, was at the Sui
livan fight and won quite a bunch of
money on Gardner.
The Register was in error yesterday
in saying that Gardner received a
watch from Gold Dollar Smith. 1t
should have read "a $500 lot"
The eastern papers have had a good
deal to say about Gardner being weak
in the legs. This is all moonshine, and
he was never in better trim in his life.
John Finnegan, his manager, Frank
Mccormick, and trainer, Leslie Pearce,
will leave for Pittsburg Monday morn
ing Finnegan is in fine trim for his
go with John Cavenaugh Monday
night.
The date of the 20-round contest be-
tween Jack McClelland and Frank
Bradley has been fixed for Friday,
January 20. Bids for the contest will
be received beginning to-day. 1t is
| understood that the Bridgeport club
has offered a purse of $500, but moth
ing direct has been heard from the
club.
A telegram from Indianapolis says:
Several members of kid" McCoy's
family were at the theatre last evening
and listened attentively as the bulle-
tins of the big fight were called off.
When it was announced that Kid
had been knocked out they broke
down and wept. Practically every one
in the house hoped to see Mccoy win,
so they got LOTS of sympathy.
The coming match between Gardner
| and Ed Lenny, at Millvale, Pa, has
been fixed for the 23d. Paddy Sulli-
van, Gardeners manager, wrote Billy
Corcoran, stating that, as Oscar had
to box Solly Smith on the Goth, the
contest with Lenny must be arranged
| for some date ahead of that day of the
month. Corcoran at once fixed on the
| 23d as the date here, and that was
| agreeable TO Sullivan.
Mccoy says he is going to start all
over in the pugilistic game He said
yesterday to friend: Il am going to
get to the top, and this setback will not
| deter me. l shall be the champion of
the world, and nothing will keep me
from getting there" Mccoy will leave
for West Baden Springs within the
next few days. After a sojourn at that
resort he will go further west, perhaps
into California
