Iowa Republican Estimates.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.-Tonight prac-
ttcally closes the debate in Ohio In the
campaign for the election of state and
county officers. Six tickets are before the
people; Democratic, Republican, non
partisan, Prohibition, union reformed and
Socialistic labor. The last three named
have not made any showing that In
dicates any more than the ordinary num-
Der of votes, but the progress of the
campaign has shown that the other three
parties will poll a more than unusually
full vote. The resignation in all the large
cities is abnormally large for an election
of this kind. How the vote will be dis
tIibuted between Mclean, Nash and
Jones is not easy to predict at the close

REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK. oct. 2I-R. G. Dun &

Fears and not facts made a war IN
South Africa seem menace to prosper
fty here, and week OF conflict has
cleared away the fear. British markets
for securities have been helped by the
belief that mining shares would be
worth more with no Boer control in
mining regions, and large purchases
here OF ammunition, packed meats ana
other army food have swClled the pal-
ance due this country. Money markets

pointed out the way. It is, first, by the
continuous service Of wen selected ON
Gals; second, by placing the care Of the
Indian schools under our general super
intendent of education, which alone
close half the work of the Indian bu-
reau; third. by abollshlng the reserVa-
lions as fast as Indians have their lands
in severalty. and One-thlrd Of the sixty
reservation agencies could, and should,
we are told by those competent to Judge,
thus be abolished now. and the other
two-thirds could easily in few years
be similarly closed. Thus the so called
Indian problem, and the great dimcul-
ties OF the Indian situation could for
ever disappear, and our nation could
consistently turn to the great island
problem provldentially forced upon It"

The discussion regarding the exact
site Of Fort Henry, in this city, where
the last battle Of the Revolutionary war
was fought, between the patriots under
Colonel Ebenezer Zane, on one side, and
forty British red-coats and 26o REDSKINS
under the notorious Girty on the other.
seems to be the occasion Of bringing
out preponderence Of evidence that
the fort was located on the blum at the
head Of Main street hill, and not at the
mouth of Wheeling creek, as is claimed
by some.
Mr.. Sam Hugh BrockunieF' descend
ant Of Colonel Zane, has been close
student Of his family history and he
asserts with dlrectness and positively
that the fort was located on the blum.
The old Zane house, which was UNI
doubtedly within short distance Of the
fort, was, 1t is known, located on the
ground now occupied by sheff Brothers
store, at the northeast corner of
Main and Eleventh streets, This house
was constructed of logs. After the war,
Colonel Zane built more pretentlous
homestead of brick and stone. which, as
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-10-28

is well known, was on the southeast
corner OF the streets named, or where
Heyman Brothers store stands.
The fort, says Mr.. Brockunter, was a
large structure. the Enclosure having
an area of fully three-quarterg of an
acre. The walls ran abou. as follows,
he adds: The eastern wall followed
nearly the line Of the curb on the west
side Of Main street the southern wall
ran toward the river through the lot
on which the store of Friend & Son
stands, the northern wall ran toward
the river at about the location of Alex
ander & Co.'s store.
The letter Of Mr.. Wills DeHass, Of
Washington, D. c.. author of the His
tory OF the Eearly Settlement and In
dian Wars of Western Virginia print
ed in the Intelligencer Thursday morn
ing, was read with great interest. Like
Mr.. Brockunier, he locates Fort Henry
on the bluff below the suspension
bridge, and bases hts opinion on per-
sonaI conversations with Mrs. Cruger
who was a girl OF seventeen at the
time OF the battle OF Fort Henry. Mr..
DeHass' book was published In 1851,
and it Is remarkable that its author
lives nearly fifty years later to con-
tribute trustworthy testimony to this
much mooted question as to the exact
location Of the old fort. Mr.. Brocku-
nier, however, does not agree with Mr..
DeHass in the belief that Fort Fincas-
tic and Fort Henry were different
stockades; he says they were one and
the same, and that the name Fort
Henry was substituted for the other
This view is supported in the History
Of the Pan Handle, published in this

THE RAILROADS.

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has
iust placed an order for 1880 tons of
s5-pound steel rail for delivery in 1900.
The order has been divided, the carne-
gle Company getting $4,000 tons; the
Maryland Steel Company, 5000; the
Cambria Steel Company. 5000; and the
Federal Steel Company, 1900. The con-
tract price is about SSS per ton or 81 per
cent more than the receivers paid for
rail during the time they had charge of
the property. OF the total amount just
ordered the Baltimore & Ohio proper
will get 2s.OOO tons, the Baltimore &

burgh & Western 1000, and the Cleve-
Terminal and Valley, 1000.

der the progress of our schools. Some Of
these boys are working a part Of the
