Benjamin f. Bachman passed away
at 6:35 o'clock last night at his resi-
dence ON Chapline street, below
Twelfth. He was in the fortieth year
Of his age. A widow and one child sur
vive him. Death was caused by a
complication of diseases of long stand
ing. He had been confined to his bed
for many weeks, and death was not I'M
expected 1t nevertheless came as a
shock to his relatives and intimate
friends. He was the personification Of
courtesy, man whose conception of
friendship was broad enough to en-
brace personal sacrifice, liberal in mind
and purse, and uniformly fair in all
his dealings. He had the respect and
esteem of all who were included in his
wide circle of acquaintance.
Mr.. Bachman was a member of the
firm of p. Bachman & Sons, wholesale
commission merchants. He has served
his ward one or two terms in the City

the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
Arrangements for his funeral have not

It was current rumor at the City
Hall yesterday and last evening that
not less than two, and probably four
ordinances in the nature of public fran
chises would be presented at this even
ing's session of Council. Detailed and
exact information as to these matters
could not be obtained, but report has
it that there will be another telephone
ordinance backed by citizens of this
city, still another advocated by
Parkersburg attorney, an electric light
measure in the interest of Cleveland
parties, and another of the same nature
vouched for by a local attorney. Fur
ther than this the available information
does not go.
There are now three franchise ordi-
nances pending, one for a street rail-
way, one for an electric light company,
and one for a telephone company, and
at last evenings session of the Ordi-
nance Committee these documents,
which were on the table, were laid aside
until the Others could be heard from,
and then the Committee will make a
night of it, and consider the entire out
fit in a bunch.

For two or three days conditional
call for meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce for the purpose of consider
ing the local industrial situation, has
been circulated among members OF
that body. The matters which it is
desired to be made an object of dis
cussion in the Chamber, are she street
car strike, and its effect upon tbs bust
ness interests and the community
generally; the North Wheeling glass
works strike, and the contemplated re-
moval of the plant to Wellsburg; the
Wheeling Corrugating Works trouble;
and all other labor disturbances and
related subjects. These matters are
not stated in the call, but are general
ly understood.
The meeting is conditioned upon
three-fourths of the members Of the
Chamber of Commerce signing the call
and pledging their presence. If the
requisite number is not secured, the
meeting will not be held. Very few.
if any, destinations have been made,
and the gentlemen who are behind the
movement state that it is only ques-
ton of time, and for that reason the
date for the meeting is uncertain. 1t
rs likely that the requisite number of
signatures will be received to-day, in
which event there will be call for a
meeting of the Chamber.
Citizens of the North End were very
much gratified yesterday to learn that
an effort to bring about an amicable
settlement of the strike at the North
Wheeling glass works ia being made.
Publication of further details concern
ing this commendable movement might
embarrass the matter, and for that
reason the facts are withheld. How
ever, it may be stated that the indica-
tons are bright for an agreement of a
satisfactory nature today or to-mor-
row, by which the factory will again
be placed in operation.
Last night the Executive Board of
the Ohio Valley Trades Assembly held
a very important meeting. Arrange
ments were made for a street demon
stration on an elaborate scale, to be
followed by a mass meeting, both in
the interests of the street railway
strikers. NJ F. Tighe, president of
the Assembly, will go to Pittsburg to-
morrow morning to secure speakers,
and also TO enlist the cooperation of
the Western Pennsylvania Labor
League, with a view to making this
the biggest labor demonstration ever
held in this vicinity.

An Appeal to the Charitable.

To all who believe in the gospel
of helping one another, we make
this appeal, While a great deal
has been done, and is being done to
help the poor among us, much
more remains to be done. 1t will
not do for us to allow people to
suffer right in our midst.
The committee appointed by the
pastors conference to act as a
joint committee on charities for all
the churches have exhausted all
the funds in their hands, and are
helpless to do more unless charita-
bic people come to their aid,
Mr.. j. L, Griffith of the Electric
Light company, is treasurer of this
committee, and any money or
provisions left at his Office will be
faithfully distributed. Shoes for
children, which are not too badly
worn can be used to good ad-
vantage.
The extremely cold and damp
weather is especially trying on the
poor, and what is to be done needs
to be done quickly.

AS AN ISSUE,

At conference of democratic
senators in Washington on last Fri
day Senator Vest said of the sug-
gestion that expansion could be
kept alive for 1900:
THAT sort of talk is nonsense.
The question of expansion was set
tied by the ratification of the treaty.
We have lost our fight, and we
must look for other issues. J. op-
posed the treaty because | did not
believe the acquisition of the Phil
ippine Islands was a good thing for
this country. However, the islands
now belong to us and they will be-
long to us as long as the republic
exists. The only way, in my opin-
ion, to prevent expansion, was to
defeat the treaty. Do not delude
yourselves, gentlemen, with the
idea that the fight has only just be-
gun. 1t is over and we are whip
ped. Can you cite an instance
where the Anglo-Saxon race sur
rendered an inch of territory that
it once got its hands on?
