There was considerable talk among bust
ness men generally yesterday of present.
ing a petition to the city Council. asking
that an ordinance be passed prohibiting
the erection of frame buildings in the
business districts of the city. This talk
was due to the fact that the Deyarmon

tent.

THE LOCAL POTTERY SCHEME.

A gentleman interested in this mat
ter said yesterday:
The discussion that took place at
the Ohio Valley Trades Assembly on
Sunday last and as reported or as made
to appear in the Intelligencer, does an
injustice to all concerned. To say that
the local parties, or those who were
DESTROYS of interesting themselves in
forming a company to purchase and
put in operation the North Wheeling
pottery plant, are making a eats paw"
of the labor union, is far from the
truth. 1t has always the desire and
intention of these local gentlemen to
have practical, experienced men inter
ested by subscribing for stock or
shares in such amounts as their cir
cumstances would permit to insure the
successful operation of the plant. and
they were certainly to have shared in
all benefits TO follow. So it can clearly
be seen there was no intention of max
ing a eats paw of any workman or
of the Assembly.

ocratic and populist, the fusion forces
of this county, held their convention
last Saturday to select their candidates
for the county offices. The division of
the offices had been made at previous
date between the chairmen of the two
parties. By the division the democrats
were to get to name the candidates for
the offices of county treasurer, superin-
tendent of schools and clerk of the
courts while the populists were to
name the candidates for member of The
board, Sheriff, representative, coroner
and surveyor. The democrats held
convention in the Duncan hall, and
were presided over by Ed Morrison,
with A. i. Ollie as secretary and A. j.
Osborn as assistant secretary. The
populist convention gathered in the
court house where j. T. Clarkson pre-
sided and Ed Hartsuck kept the score
with John II. Clark doing the reading
act.
The democrats rerominated D. w.
urer and Miss Mary Mcdonald for SUI

ilisS cOhH snlldHdIl JOtt lIleIlueTi OIL Ile
board. Ivor r. Williams for coroner,

news TO the other wing and then they
both ratified the whole proceedings.
In the democratic convention they
turned down Mrs. F. Ella McKellip,

the free silver republican vote. The
populists turned down Hon. Il. b. Ar

in the legislature.

Fred Townsend for senator, but the
pops did not do so. Delegates were
selected at each place for senatorial
and state conventions. The usual res,
olutions to be expected from such a
combination were passed.

mILEs TO BE RECOGNIZED.
president Desires the utmost Eanr'
| moly In the War Department

l Washington, July a1.-"rhe military
establishment is under the orders OF
the commanding general of the army
IN thai which pertains to its discipline
and military control. The fiscal affairs
of the army are conducted by the sec
retary OF war through the several staff
departments.
"All orders and instructions from the
president or secretary of war relating
to military operations or affecting the
military control and discipline of the
army will be promulgated through the
commanding general"
The responsibilities and duties of
General Miles are thus disposed of by
paragraphs 1877 and 1855 of the United
States army regulations. Having re-
ceived the approval of the president,
they should have the effect of law. An
important question of the hour is will
they be given that effect by Secretary
Root, who assumes control of the war
department OH Tuesday? That they
did not during Secretary Ayers term,
of course everybody knows. General
Miles has every reason to believe that
he will now be more than commanding
general in name only. 1t has been
stated that General Miles is preparing
his case, and that when the new sec
retary relieves Secretary Alger on
Tuesday he intends to present and de-
mand his rights.
This is not true. The general does
not propose to do business that way.
Although the regulations above quoted
We're practically a dead letter during
the last year of the ,-Alger regime, they
have never been revoked and General
Miles now proposes to resume opera
) tions under them. In this way it will
devolve upon Secretary Root to raise
any question concerning General Miles
duties and possibilities and not the
general. General Miles does not antic-
ipate any conflict. He looks for har-
mony; SO does MI. Root. Nh. Mckinley
