Inc claim of the complainant Is that
there was an agreement entered into at the
urle that the incorporators would advance
such money as might be necessary to build
and equip the brewery, and that il il be-
came necessary for the Individual holders
or the stock to transfer any of their hold
ings they would do so. 1t Is for alleged
violation of this agreement that the suit is
brought, II being claimed that certain OF
the incorporators held on to the stock and
refused either to surrender IL or aivasce
any money for the needs of the COMPANY

not the two months extra pay allowed will
include ration and clothing allowances for
the time. This, of course, would increase
the per capita sum considerably.
1t will probably be decided however, that
these allowances will not be given, as was
done in the case of those troops that re-
ceived q furlough for sixty days before
being mustered out. The men will get fine
meals today. All of the companies will
have soup and fresh beef, tomatoes, pota-
toes and onions, with bread and coffee,
while home companies will have even a
greater variety, their bills of fare depend
ing upon the ingenuity and quickness of
those in charge of the company mess. The
enlisted men are really better off than the
officers in this regard, as the officers mess
has not yet been established. A number
take their meals in Middletown, while
others patronize an establishment erected
on the camp grounds.

A LONG CELEBRATION.

A Peculiar Wedding Ceremony in
Progress the South Side.
The marriage of Stephen Chopwi and
Theresa Wiswari, two Slavonians, is
being celebrated in fitting manner,
according to the custom of their coun-
try, at their residence on South Main
street. The two people were united in
the holy bonds of wedlock at the st.
Alphonsus church on Monday, morning,
and at the conclusion of the ceremony
repaired to the home of the bride. Here
feasting and dancing was begun on an
elaborate scale, a large number OF
Slavs being present in response to
verbal invitations. The festivities are
still in progress and will very likely be
continued until this evening, as it is
the custom in Slavonia, so it is said,
to celebrate such an occasion for three
successive days. The music is being
furnished by man with singular
name, and who performs admirably
upon an accordion. Those present are
certainly in earnest and are enjoying
themselves most hugely. The groom is
an employee of the BelAire steel plant,
and the bride is popular in the circles
in which she moves.

A DRAMATIC CLUB

To be Organized in wheeling. G God
Material for First Glass Productions.
For the past month there have been
various reports afloat to the effect
that Wheeling is to have a dramatic
club, not small organization. but one
that will be conducted on large scale
and give all of it's members chance
to show their talent in that line before
their own townspeople. Yesterday a
Register reporter had a short chat
with one of the promoters of the
scheme. When asked if the report was
true that he was agitating the or
ganization of such club, he said:
Yes; within the next month we pro-
pose to send out cards for the organiza
ton meeting, and at this time outline
work for the. coming winter season.
You know this town has lots of talent,
and it would be a pity not to have such
an organization when we have the
material to work with. All through
the South they have dramatic clubs,
and they have met with great success. =
when your club is organized, what
line of work do you propose to assign
them?"
''Well, that depends largely upon the
people we have. l feel positive that
could put on any of the leading society

George Carl continues to train for
his coming bout with Buck" Stuitzer,
to take place before the Drovers' Home

tract a large number of the sporting
fraternity.
Andrew McGarrell, who has been
visiting relatives here, has returned to
MS home at Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Wiley Riley, of st. Paul, Mimi.
is visiting at the home of her mother,

tunity to see before, and if the weather
during the week is at all fair, the in
dications are that such an outpouring
of people from the surrounding coun-
try has never been seen in Wheeling.
Every day brings to view something
new, and every mail carries to Secre-
tary Hook additional entries in every
department, all of which, so far receiv-
ed, are superior in quality to any ever
entered with the association. The live
stock exhibits will be a revelation to
the visitors. Already entries have been
received from stock men living at a
considerable distance, and the increased
premiums offered will induce an i'm
mense exhibit of the finer breeds such
as not been here before. The poultry
department also bids fair to be larger

ways been allotted to it can accommo-
date.
ture of the fair that the meeting of
1899 will probably be pointed to with
pride for years to come. Larger purses
has attracted horsemen from every
where, and when the time arrives for
the publication of the entries some sur
prises may be looked for Some of the
best horsefiesh on the turf will figure
in the races, and the chances are ex-
cellent for new track records being
made in each class.
One arrangement made by the asso-
citation will meet with general favor,
and that is that there will be no waits
and no delays between the races. A
large stage is being erected in front of
the grand stand, and on this vaude-
vile performance will be given by
some of the best known vaudeville tai
ent. In addition to this the famous
Jay Cooks Hippodrome and Equine
Paradox Company has been engaged,
and before and between the races ex-
hibitions of Roman standing races,
chariot races, hurdle races, cowboy
races, ETC., etc., will be given, and
Chiefs White Cloud and Two Sticks, of
the Choctaw tribe, will give an exhibit
ton of knife throwing every day. In
fact it will be one grand continuous
performance
The railroads are offering special in
ducements to visitors to come during
the fair, and every day the excursion
trains will be held until six o'clock.
The big fireworks display on Mer-
chants Day will also serve to attract
thousands, so that fair week will be
indeed a gala one.

A Kansas editor has a fable about
fool pup which, while rambling
through the fields, found a hole
that belonged to humble bee, and
with youthful curiosity, inserted
his nose in the opening. The head
of the bee family was at home and
the next minute the pup turned a
sommersault backward and howled
in agony. He continued to howl as
he ran to his mother and showed
her a swelled place on his nostril
about the size of an acorn; but his
mother said, as she rammed her off
springs smeller in some soft mud to
relieve the pain, "My son, if you
