The leading feature Of the street car
strike yesterday was the business
mems meeting, held last night at the
rooms of the chamber of commerce,
a full account of which is found in an
other column. General disappoint-
ment was expressed because OF the
failure of the company to have one OF
its local officials present. The business
men express the hope, however. that
President Conderman will heed the re-
quest that he meet with the strikers
next Saturday, at which time it is I'M
derstood that the board OF directors Of
the company will meet at the general
Offices In this city. Until that time It
does not seem that settlement of the
differences between the company and
Its employees can be effected. Both
sides are firm In their respective posi-
lions, and speedy settlement can only
come through concessions or back
down by one Of the two interests.
The other important development
came at ! O'Clock this morning. when
United States Marshal John X. Thomp-
son and twelve deputy marshals arrived
In the city to back up the injunction
granted by Judge jackson. ~

Last night. Mayor Andrew T. Swee-
ney and Chief of Police W. NJ. Clemans
prepared a formal protest against the
getting out of the injunction before
Judge Jackson. They claim that the
situation did not Justify such a meas
ure. at least the situation within the
limits of the city of Wheeling did not
justify 1t. The letter is addressed to
the Wheeling Railway Company, at Its
Office, in Wheeling, and Is as follows:
City OF Wheeling.
Wheeling. April IL, 1880.
Wheeling Railway Company, City:
Gentlemen-Wc learn through the papers
OF your application for and the granting
TO your company OF an Injunction by the
United States court. restraining any in
reference with the carrying OF the mails
OF the United States upon the cars OF your
company.
We do not believe that the conditions
which have prevailed warrant your conf
pany IN taking other precautions when
You have been the recipient of guaranteed
protection fully carried out as promised,
nor do we consider that In such n COM
MUMMY rs we have and which has
proven Itself loyal and law-abiding. that
there exists now or will likely arise the
necessity for any other, precautions than
those now provided by the regular city
authorities.
I'VE our duty 10
record our earnest protest against the en-
ployment Of other means than those guar
anteed TO you by the city. feeling. as we
do, an abiding faith In the business and
law-abid!ng character Of our people and
resultant confidence In their desire to
do only what Is right.
There Is not now nor has there existed
since the Inauguration OF the differences
between you and your employees any neces-
sity for apprehension for the safety OF
life and property within the limits of the
city. We have repeatedly advised your
officers that We were fully prepared to az
ford your cars full protection, and your
operations so far have fully borne out
our promise. ~
We also desire to record the fact that
we have no official or personal knowledge
Of any act except such MS might occur
during the most peaceful times, which
would give the slightest apprehension or
grounds for such action as we are in
formed your company has taken.
Very respectfully.

City's Protection ali Right.

General Manager Kirker and secrc-
tary Shirley, Of the Wheeling Railway
Company, speaking OF the strike yes
terday afternoon, stated that they had
no complaint to make Of the protection
afforded the companys property this
week by Mayor Sweeney and Chief of
Police Clemans. They said these off,
cials had been active in clearing OBJ
structions placed on the tracks by boys
and thoughtless women. The appeal
for an Injunction, made before Judge
Jackson, 1t is said, was brought about
more on account OF the violence that
has taken place outside the limits Of
the city Of Wheeling.

GIVES UP POSITION.

Fred w. Hutchins. deputy collector OF
taxes, sewers his connection with the
department today. Mr.. Hutchins is also
paymaster. and his last official act today
will be the payment of men in the en-
pioy Of other departments. City Treas
urer F. M. White will appoint his sue
cessor, and the nomination will come
before the board of aldermen for con-
firmation.
Previous to and Immediately after
the election of Mr.. White as city treas
urer, there was considerable comment
regarding his probable appointment, the
speculation being as to whether the new
man would be a democrat This specu-
lation was probably due to the fact that
Mr.. White received the full vote Of the
minority party. 1t was therefore nat
ural supposition that the democrats
might urge on City Treasurer White the
appointment OF d democrat as a COM
pensation for their united support. City
Treasurer White says, however, that
his appointment will not be demo-
crat.

REPUBLICAN, LEADERS.
City Committee Makes Recommendation
for Ensuing Year.

The committee on location of the re-
publican city committee held a meeting
at republican headquarters last even
ing and voted to recommend to this
years committee that the rooms on the
second floor Of the Taylor building, ATS
Main street, which were used by last
years committee be retained They
will also recommend that the commit
tee room be carpeted, and that a book
case be provided for the file of the
Congressional Record which was a gift
from Senator Hoar last fall. These
volumes have never been taken from
their cases, and unless a case is pro-
Vlded will be of no use to the mem
bers of the committee.
The committee on rules consisting of
William j. Bragg, Herbert A. Booth
and Walter E. Gleason, viii meet at
headquarters this evening and go over
the rules of last years committee with
view to making recommendations for
the use of the committee during the

committee, called for last evening at
republican headquarters, was not held,
ard Chairman Bragg who was the only
member present, thinks that there will
not be another meeting before the
meeting of the city committee, which
comes the 18th of February. The

A MOST SINGULAR THING.


1t is singular fact, but none the
less true, that people who are sick or
out of health and are taking treatment
from doctors, do not know exactly
what is the matter with them. One
doctor says one thing and another doc
tor says something else. Meanwhile
they do not get well. NO, why is this?
Simply that such persons have not con-
suited the right doctor, have not con-
suited a great. specialist who, because
he makes a speciality of the treatment
and cure of chronic and lingering dis
eases, and because of his vast expert
ence in treating the class of disease like
your complaint knows just precisely
what ails you from your symptoms,
and moreover has from his great ex-
perience the exact knowledge Of what
medicines your case requires to be
cured. For instance, the famous DR..
Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, who stands at the head of spe-
cialists in nervous ana chronic diseases
has cured thousands OF cases like yours
He, therefore, will perfectly understand
your disease, and Il you consult him.
either personally or by letter, he will
tell you or write you exactly what your
complaint Is, Although pr. Greene has
the largest practice in this country, he
gives everybody the privilege Of con-
sultation with him. free of charge and
II you will write him about your case
you will receive, without cost to you
the best medical advice and counse
about your complaint, which advice. il
followed, will lead to your cure. DR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, is known and used all over the
world, and he has equally marvellous
remedies for various complaints. Yor
want to know what your trouble is
why not write to the Doctor and fine
out.

DISMISSED.
Libel in Ryan Divorce Case
is Not Sustained.

Policeman Patrick F. Ryan fails to
get his divorce from his wife, Mary
Ryan. Yesterday Judge Gaskill be-
fore whom the case was heard. handed
down a decision dismissing Mr.. Ryan's
libel. From the fact that the libellant
in the case is a member of the police
force, the case has attracted more than
usual attention. At the hearing upon
the case, much sensational testimony
was introduced, and one witness in
particular, Officer O'Mara, refused to
testify in behalf of his brother officer,
stating that Mr.. Ryan had asked him
if he had seen Mrs. Ryan drunk, and
when he replied that he believed that
she was not drunk, Mr.. Ryan asked
him if he could not stretch the point a
little.
Mr.. Ryan was married to the libellee
in 1891, it being his second marriage,
and he had at the time grown up chill
dren, two daughters residing at the
house with Mr.. Ryan. On the stand,
Mr.. Ryan offered testimony that his
wife was guilty Of gross and confirmed
habits of intoxicafion, which was dis
proved by witnesses for Mrs. Ryan,
whose testimony was to the effect that
Mr.. Ryan had tried to get her drunk
to secure evidence against her, and
had often invited people into the house
with the purpose of getting testimony
against Mrs. Ryan in the prospective
divorce proceedings.
The libellant, before his connection
with the police force, had local repu-
tation as a pugilist and kept a saloon
on Green street for a number Of years.
Thayer & Cobb for the libellant: Con-
gresham John r. Thayer, City Solicit
or Arthur p. Rugg for the libellee.
