The injunction case against the new
electric light company, heard before
Judge Hcllingsworth, was not decided,
the judge reserying his decision until
Monday, December Sd. The old com
pany asked for a continuance on the
ground that the election was not
legal one, but it is very plain to all
the people that the November election
is a regular one, as it occurs each year.
Mrs. Jos. Heatherington was taken
to the hospital in North Wheeling yes
terday, where she will have an oper
alton performed.
The editor of the Independent has a
very pert notice OF the Register report
er, claiming that he Is a new convert
to the new electric light company, but
as usual he is wrong How 1t is that
this paper always fights the majority
OF the people, is a question yet I'M
answered. The Register represents the
people and is supported by over two
thirds of the citizens, who place their
confidence in the result of their choice
of which company should light the city,
and further claim that an old plant -un-
able to furnish the full amount Of
lights, as stated by their secretary be-
fore council, is not worthy Of being up
held by the citizens Of the city. Fur
Their, we wish to state that the majority
of all the people are unfolding the
course CT the Register, in helping to
fight for their needs.
A number of the young people are
thinking of holding dance at the

Mr.. Robt. Parrish. manager of the
Clarion Lumber Company's main mill,
located at Irondale, West Virginia, has
bought about 1000 pieces Of timber at

Mr.. Parrish has made arrangements
with the b., & c. to haul timber to
Pultney Bottom, where he will erect a
mill from which the product will be
taken away by the Ohio Valley rail-
road. This will be quite a boom to
Pultney Bottom, and will require sew
eral months work to saw up the TIM

people. Mr.. Parrish makes his head
quarters at the Globe Hotel.
There is more trouble now on Tween
ty-second street, a dispute being on be-
tween Contractor Maloney and the
