4 R0US|NG MEETING.
The Citizens Of BsnWOod Assembled
Together Last Evening
AND ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS PRO
TESTING AGAINST A CHANGE
IN THE NJ, B. & w. RAILWAY
LINE, AS PROVIDED IN AN OR
DINANCE BEFORE COUNCIL.
THEIR REASONS FOR THE AC-
TION TAKEN.

In response to call the citizens of
Benwood assembled at the town hall
last evening to express their disap-
prevail of the ordinance now pending be-
fore Council providing for the removal
of the Moundsville, Benwood ana
Wheeling railway lines from the prin-
cipal thoroughfares to Kentucky
Heights. There were present about two
hundred citizens, and William Hall was
appointed chairman and Michael ].
Gately, Jr., as secretary.
During the evening a number of
speeches were made and it was stated
that the proposed change in the line
would certainly be detrimental to the
business interests of the town, as the
merchants would be deprived to great
extent of the benefit of the transient
trade which they now receive. 1t was
also maintained that the change would
be lnconyenient to the residents, who
desiring to travel over the line, would
be compelled to walk some distance in
order to reach car. The matter was
very warmly discussed and finally set
of resolutions, drawn up by a commit
tee composed of Joseph Mahood, chair
man, Paul Reidel and Charles Schad,
protesting against the passing of the
ordinance by Council, was read and
unanimously adopted, voicing the senti-
ments of the people. The committee
was instructed to present the resolu-
ton to Council at its next meeting. 1t
was learned that in the assemblage
there were several of the older residents
who had not been inside the present
town hall until last evening.
1t is said that the ordinance has been
recommended by the Council commit
tee to which it was referred, and that
five members of the Council are IN
favor of granting to the company a
franchise for the change. At the regu-
lar meeting of the body next Tuesday
the proceedings will therefore be of a
lively nature and the result will be
watched with interest generally. AS IS
known the company contemplates re-
moving its tracks to Kentucky Heights
and having the terminus of the lire at
a point near Schad's crossing, where 1t
can connect with the Wheeling railway
line for the purpose of avoiding the
dangerous B. & o. railroad crossing IN
the vicinity of the Wheeling steel plant.

understood that a committee of Coun-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 20
On information from Sheriff Bailey, OF
Buchanan, Virginia, Mrs. Cora Belle
Bryant was arrested at Lapel, this
State, to-day and taken to Jail at An
derson. Madison county. She is
charged with having murdered her
eight-year-old step-son. Her tive-year-
old boy accompanied her to Jail. She
talked freely with your correspondent,
saying that she was innocent of the
murder She said that while she and
her husband and son were gathering
corn, her step-son, who had been in an
other part of the field, came to the
house, complaining of feeling sick, and
that she gave him some stewed tonla-
toes. He died in commissions. The
boy never before had spacm and she
is unable to account for the attack.
The day after the burial OF the body
she says that her husband accused her
of killing the boy and drove her from
home, and so she came to this State to
live with relatives.

BELLAIRE.
Budget of News Items from Our
Belmont County Neighbor.

The posters giving a quotation from
the speech of Bishop Clark, at the Epis-
copal convention held at St. Paul, have
attracted much attention, especially
among the Germans. The speaker, who
was talking for the administration, says
in substance that the Germans and 9TH
er foreigners who have come to this
country have been partially civilized by
coming in contact with American insti-
tutions, and this is used as an argument
for extending the plan Of benevolent
assimilation to the Philippines, Our
stanch German citizens will hardly
relish being compared to the Filipinos
in intelligence and civilization, and the
party that makes such assertions will
hardly be favored by their support on
November 7th.

"a WISE WOMAN"

The forthcoming engagement in this
city of Marie Lamour in Wilfred
Clarke's farcical success, ga Wise
Woman" will undoubtedly awaken a
great deal of interest among our metro
politan theater-goers, as not only has
Miss Lamour a splendid metropolitan
reputation, gained during the last four
or five seasons as a member of Angus
tin Days New York company, but the
company surrounding her is said to be
one of exceptional merit. Mr. Clarke's
comedy, which Miss Lamour is present.
ing, has a London record of 23S nights
at the Strand Theater to enormous bus
mess. This speaks for itself. The en-
gagement here will take place on Fri
day night, October 9th, at the Opera
House, and will undoubtedly draw a
large and fashionable audience.

Last Wednesday evening the Sihler
residence on Thirty-seventh street was
entered by thieves during the absence
OF the family, who were attending a
social affair at Mozart hall. A member
OF the household on returning home
saw one of the robbers leaving the res
idence and on making an investigation
found that every apartment where it
was likely thought by the thieves that
something of value might be kept, had
been ransacked. AS nothing was miss
ing, it is evident that the parties were
in search of money. There is no clue
in the case.
