OF the Council Committee on Fire Made
Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon the Council
Committee On Fire Department, ac-
companied by Chief Cline, City Clerk
Watkins and Committee Clerk Nolte,
made the annual tour of the various
engine houses Of the city, for the pur-
pose Of netting the condition OF the
property and apparatus preparatory to
making up the annual estimate for the
Finance Committee.
The buildings and appliances were
found to be in good general condition,
yet small repairs and improvements
are generally required, as is the case
each year, and these matters were
listed for future consideration.
While in East Wheeling the Com
mittee drove out along McColloch
street and looked at some available
sites for the new fire building so long
talked of for that portion of the city.
There is very decided disposition to
locate a small chemical apparatus in
that part of town, and the matter is
expected to take definite shape in a
short time and then the Finance Com
mittee will be asked to provide the
necessary money.

evening. The friends of all the candidates
are working hard for them and are evil
IDENTIFY doing a lot of good. OF the three
tickets in the field, the one which seems
TO be attracting the most attention as
well as the most votes is the Good Gov
eminent and Pubic Improvement ticket.
The men on this ticket are all good, rep
resentative people. and@shou!d they be
elected to the offices to which they aspire
they will fill them with great credit to
themselves and to the satisfaction OF the
people who supported them at the elec~
ton. From this time until after next
Thursday this city will be in ferment
of excitement all the time, on account of
the election, and it is quite likely there
will be some interesting times.

turns to Washington, he will go there
as the representative of the Pittsburg
Coal Exchange in reference to the al
terations that are contemplated in the

that the channel span be heightened
and that the piers be removed In oroer
to afford steamboats, a safer channel.
Capt. bravo says he understands that
this work is about to be done. While
in Washington Capt. bravo will also
interest himself in laying before the
proper person the request OF the lock

an increase in salaries. Congressman

time been endeavoring to secure the
men an increase, and it is thought that
it will be accomplished in the near

High School cadets were out on pa
rade, in celebration of st. Patrick 5
Day. 1t was their first public appear
ante, for many weeks, and they gave
evidence of further improvement in
their knowledge and execution of mill
itary maneuvers. There were more
cadets in line than ever before. The
drum and fife corps made inspiring
music, and the boys acquitted them
-selves splendidly. The parade was
witnessed by thousands on the side
walks, and the manly little fellows
were commended on all sides for their
proper department, and their evident
pride in their marching and maneu-
vering. The boys were conveyed in
special street cars to and from Ben
wood. In Benwood they marched
through the streets and did some ex-
cellent drilling, after which their COM
mandant dismissed them Tor half

HIBERNIANS ENTERTAIN.

Under the auspices of Parke Divis-

one of the very best home talent en-
tertainments of the winter was given
last night at the Carroll Club. The
commodious auditorium was complete
ly filled both down stairs and in the
balcony, and better pleased audience
never left the building. The entertain
ment was creditable alike to the per-
formers and the Division.
The programme opened with an
overture by the Opera House orches
ira, after which Father R. F. Harris,
chaplain of the Division, made very
interesting address upon 1.-THE Fidelity
of the Irish" He was listened to with
undivided attention and warmly ap-
plauded when he concluded.
Mr.. Arthur Gerrahty's pleasing tenor
voice was heard to good advantage in

most conspicuous form in which citi-
gems yesterday observed the day set
apart to honor st. Patrick, the patron
saint OF Ireland. Girls of Irish ex-
traction, and many of their American
cousins as well, wore green skirts or
waists, or both. With the other sex,
green neckties were prominent, and
some plug hats were worn which are
seen on no other day than the 18th
OF March. Several enterprising firms
distributed novelties. in the form OF
Imitation shamrocks, which were
pinned to the lapels Of coats, and were
everywhere in evidence. Then there

different character, religious as well
as social, during the day.

AS spring comes on, most women and
many men who have lived dollhouse
lives during the winter, find themselves
unduly fretful, unable to sleep soundly,
without appetite easily tired, frequent
ly distressed by headaches, and lacking
snap" and strength-the result OF poor
blood and weak nerves.
To those in this condition, the thous-
ands of testimonials from peaple like
Mr. Guerra who have been benefited by
Paine's celery compound, should be
reason enough for giving this best OF
all spring medicines at least a trial.
What il has done for others 1t will do
for the reader. 1t will purify the blood,
clear the complexion, rejuvenate the
exhausted nervous system. insure good
digestion, bring on healthy sleep, and
restore ones health and vitality.
No other medicine in the world ever
accomplished so much, and a single
trial will add another to the long list OF
people in every community who CRATE
fully sound the praises of Paine's celery
compaund.

SOLEMN HIGH MASS.

There was solemn high mass at
st. Joseph's Cathedral at ten o'clock
yesterday morning, in celebration of
the feast of St. Patrick. The music
was an especially pleasing feature.
The celebrant of this mass was the
rector, the Rev. Father Mcbride; dea-
con, Rev. Father Harris, sub deacon,
Rev. Father Altmeyer. The sermon
was preached by Father Mcbride. His
theme was St. Patrick, whose virtues
he commended, and whom he asked
the Irish to initiate. He took occasion
alos, to pay a compliment to the ma
tives of Ireland, for their consistent
belief in and practice Of the Roman
Catholic faith.

During the past few weeks there has
been an upward tendency in quota
tions upon all local securities All
stocks and bonds of local corporations
have been affected and a number of
transfers have been made, but in most
instances stocks are being held for

brought into the city by the sale of in

somewhat stimulated investments.
A notable example is furnished in
the stock of the Wheeling Steel and
