ON THE OHIO SIDE.

Yesterday the Wheeling Street Rail-
way company suggested to the en-
ployes on the Bellaire division of their
line, that they commence this morning
and continue to run a mail car through
Martins Ferry every morning during
the progress of the strike, but the men
positively refused to do so, saying that
they did not wish to operate their cars
on any section of the road now effected
by the strike. An official of the B., B.
& M. F. line stated last evening that
the company did not insist upon the
Bellaire men taking out mail car on
the Martins Ferry division, and raised
no objection whatever to the stand TAX
en- by the men in the matter.
AS has been stated, the men on the
Bellaire division agreed to remain at
work, after the company had promised
them that their wages should be gov
erned by the result of the contest on
the other side of the river. The Bel
laire division of the line extends from
the lower end of Bellaire to the lower
end of Martins Ferry, and the men will
continue to operate the cars on their
division, in accordance with the agree
ment.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds. headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manentiy. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste. but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations. please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

There was lively six-round bout in
a South Side resort last evening, be-
tween Jimmy Fogarty, the Texas Cy-
Clone" who has modicum OF knoWl-
edge of the game, and local potter,
who knows little or nothing about it.
1t was expected to degenerate into a
rough and tumble exhibition, and there
was not any very keen disappointment.
The men agreed to strike with one arm
free. A big South Slider was chosen as
referee, and friends Of FOgarty allege
that he is the FUNNIEST in the business.
The potter started in by getting grip
on a handful of Fogarty's flesh. and
striking with the other hand. Fogarty
met him at the same game, and it was
a lively exhibition for several rounds.
The Lone Star puncher managed to dis
color the proboscis and close one optic
fov his opponent, but in the sixth rund
ttI referee gave the decision against
Fogarty for alleged foul tactics.
Some work was done on the Island
base ball park yesterday, and with fair
weather the close Of the week will lind
matters in tip-top shape. Mr.. HoWell
dug deep down into the capacious pock-
cts of his Jeans yesterday, and brought
forth a quantity of silver with which
he purchased dozen railroad tickets.
These were forwarded to as many play
ers. and 1t is expected that each day
for a week the boys who will wear the
Wheeling uniform will be dropping in
TO the city.

A NEW MAN" TALKS.

One of the men who have taken up
quarters in the barn was seen by q
Register reporter yesterday. He SAID
that Mr.. Shirley came down yesterday
morning early and wanted the men az
the barn to take out the cars. All
refused to do sos and as result not
even an attempt wis made to operate
the line. He said that the reason the
men would not take the cars out was
because of the strike. He said they
were all decoyed to Wheeling from
Chicago and vicinity, on the promise
of coed pay and work on new linz.
He also said that the men would all
stay at the barn until furnished with
transportation home, as they were

Milwaukee before the strike at that
place.

SLIGHT DISTURBANCE AT THE
BARN

The dispatcher at the barn reported a
slight disturbance last night, between
Z and s o'clock. A good-sized crowd
gathered about the lower end of the
barn and broke two or three panes of
glass in the building. The boys, while
the men on watch were in the lower Of
fee, entered the barn and dragged out
the large hose and were about to turn
on the hose with the intention of
drowning out the occupants of the Of
flee, when one of the men on watch
went out and brought the hose back.
People living near the barn deny the
report that there was any disturbance
at the barn last night, aside from the
hooting of a crowd of boys whenever
any one of the occupants of the barn
made an appearance.

LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR.

i
The Executive Committee of the
Trades Assembly met last night and
conferred generally about the strike
situation. AS one result, the following
letter was addressed to Governor At
kinson, and was forwarded in the mail
last night:
Wheeling, w. Va, April 10.
"His Excellency, Gov. G. w. Atkinson,
Charleston, w. Va:
Dear Sir:-In compliance with a
resolution adopted by local division No.
1903, A. A. S. r. E. of A., (street car
employes) now on strike, afiliating
with the Trades Assembly, which the
Assembly officially endorses, your at
tention is most respectfully called to
the situation, and we pray you to use
your good Office to bring about a re-
lief.
1.-THE resolution cites that the Wheel
ing Railway Company has imported
from ether States a very undesirable
class of labor, and such labor was
brought here under false statements by
agents for the company. These peo-
pie, when informed of the true state of
affairs, declined to accept employment
from the company, and as conse-
quence are here unable to return from
whence they came, and therefore are
an additional burden to our taxpayers
and are imposition upon cur city Off
Gals. These mems request to be re-
turned at the expense of those who
brought them here has been refused,
and we now appeal to you in behalf o.
labor and the community to require
measures that will end such imosition.

WEBER SHAKEN UP.
ogdenites Experience a Distinct
Thrill.

Ogden, Dec 13.-A distinct earth
quake shock occurred here this morn
ing at five minutes before o'clock.
The disturbance was quite general all
over the county.
The shock was felt as series of
short. quick vibrations that rocked the
strongest buildings. ratified furniture
and in some instances did sight dam
age. In the WoodmanSee block many
tenements became alarmed and rushed
down to the street, thinking the build
ing was collapsing. Mrs. Nav tele
phened The Herald branch office from
Plain City that the disturbance there
alarmed the entire neighborhood, the
houses rocking like boats. a similar
report came from Wiley Cragun of
Pleasant View. Huntsville, Hooper and
Uintah were similarly visited. hence ii
is probable that no corner of the coun-
ty escaped.
AT the Reed hotel several tourists
were at breakfast and thought the
building was collapsing. They started
to rush cut. but were quieted by
California drummer who sat near the
door and mildly remarked as he slipped
his coffee. It's only an earthquake. ;"
At the state school for the deaf the
buildings clattered and swayed. but no
damage was done.
The ceiling in the home of George
w. Larkin, ST., on Twenty
street, was cracked by the shock.
Cocks stopped at about Sos, making
accurately the time of the phenome-
non Opinions differ as TO the length
of time the vibrations occupied The
consensus seems to be about seventeen
seconds, though some place it at five
seconds Others at a minute and

GLOOM PREVAILS IN LONDON.
Belief That Methuen Is Placed In O
Desperate Position.

London. Dec. 1S.-As the day pro-
Sressed and the driblets of informa-
ton leaked out, the extreme gravity of
General MethUen's position was more
fully recognized. and the possibility of
his isolation created no small alarm in
military circles. 1t was thought in
some quarters that he ought to retrac ice
his steps to Orange River before his
lines of communication We're severed.
General Wauchope's death was much
deplored- He rendered notable service
at the battle of Omdurman, for which
he was thanked by both houses of par
lament
\ pathetic incident was that General
Wauchope's wife was among the in
quirers at the war office d few minutes
before the telegram announcing his
death was posted.
There was little excitement notice
able at the war office. but at the no.
tells there was considerable gloomy
foreboding that the brief announcement
that 800 wounded had arrived at Mod
der River indicated that General Me-
thuen's losses were more severe than
repOrted
