The hero of our dog population just
now is Tony" little yellow dog at
the residence of Mr.. Samuel A. Watkins,
on West Washington street. Nearly
year ago Mr. Watkins. before moving
from Front Royal to Charles Town, gave
the aforesaid canine to nephew miles
south of that place, and had not seen him
since until Sunday last AT about
O'Clock that afternoon Mr. Watkins was
on his front porch. when up came To

few days lines of typhoid fever, aged "a

and devoted mother has been called
hence. a sorrowing husband and two
darling little boys are left to mourn what
seems an irreparable loss. They sorrow
not, however, as those without hope. Her
robes have been washed white in the blood
o. the Lamb, as her beautiful christian
life attests, and she hath gone to join the
sainted throng in the fields of eternal YER
dure just beyond the river, which burst
in upon her vision ere yet the vital spark
had fed its cumbrous clay. Funeral SER
vices were held in the NJ. E, Church

AS TO THE NEW RAILWAY FRAN
CHISE.

According to the evening organ of
the franchise grabbers there is nothing
whatever out of the way with the new
railway franchise asked for, despite
the fact that it had to be taken out pf
the hands of the regular committee
and referred to loaded" committee
in order to have it favorably recon-
mended to Council. We are assured
that there is no speculative Job behind
the deal because the franchise is hot
only non-transferable, but that work
must be begun on the proposed line in
a certain specified time and completed
within a prescribed limit or the fran
chise is forfeited.
All right, let us accept this version
without question, and take it for grant
tically parallel the lines of the present
company throughout the city, includ-
ing the double tracking of Market
street in the business portion of the
city, and of other streets.
Do the people want two car tracks
on Market street from Eleventh street
to the creek? Will it benefit the peo-
pie in any possible way?
We are told that. it is nonsense
and SILLY" to criticise this plan as a
scheme to blk the city as we'll as the
present street railway company of he
franchise of the present company
expires. But how long will 1t be be-
fore the proposed new line combines
with the old?-for the notion of two
street car lines paralleling each other
throughout the length of this city
where there is no more business tha1
one can handle is simply absurd. Com
petition is good thing, but the pub
lie has had experience of this sort Of
competition which means in the end a
combination and more grasplng
monopoly and poorer service than be-
ton is made there at once arises the
necessity of paying dividends on twice
the amount of original stock 1t is an
old monopoly game, by which the peo-
pie of Wheeling have been bilked more
than once, and do not propose to be
again if public opinion has any weight
with the present Council.
But, taking these franchise grabbers'
word. that their scheme is legitimate,
Council still has it in its power to
frame franchise so hedged about that
tie rights of the people may be pro-
tected.
In addition to the stipulation that

DEATH OF BEKNARD PETERS.

The announcement of the death OF
is not unexpected to his many friends
and relatives in this vicinity. He had
been bed-ridden for several months,
the result of stroke of paralysis.
The deceased had passed the allotted
span of busy life. and during the
major portion of it he welded no little
influence in his sphere. The gentleman
was an eloquent and vigorous debater,
with strong convictions and thoroughly
honest in his opinions. AS minister
of the Gospel he made a marked sue
cess, but desiring a more active life
he transferred his power from the
pulpit to the press. A most ardent
Republican, his pen during the civil
war and subsequently, was no less
trenchment than his tongue. Although
in politics, he would not accept of the
political honors that would have come
to him for the asking; he preferred
to be his own master, and devote his
time and energy to his vocation. AS a
result he was unusually successful, and
from youth unaided, except by his
own indomitable energy, he had hewn
his way to a position of influence and
affluence attained only by a limited
number of our people.
