risen by degrees from the rank of err

many years of hard industry, he re-

He was exceedingly rich Looking
at his gains, he marveiled at them.
He had but one child, Oscar, and TO
him the contractor had given the best
education possible. If he erred at all

heart Richard Carstone longed for

never so happy as when surrounded by
pretty and amiable women; but when
he realized what his life's work had
done for him, he was we'll pleased that
he had son and heir. He had re-

Brampton castle in the same county
and Tanderagee castle in County Ar

palaces of poverty on his hands he
turned his eyes toward the stage as
means of livelihood. The young duke
arrived in New York in November of
last year, but remained only short
time. He appeared in amateur theatre
calls as a member of The Strollers and
also reported the horse show for
New York newspaper. Offers came to
him, but he did not, like the earl of
Yarmouth. adopt the stage as a
means of livelihood

WEBSTER DAVIS WILL DELIVER
HIS SPEECH NEXT TUESDAY
EVENING
AT WHEELING PARK CASINO
And He VIII No Doubt Be Greeted
BY Big Audience-No Charge for
Admission to the Casino-Schuck
Withdraws From the Race for
House of DeleGates-Other PoIiti-
cal Matters.

Through a misunderstanding as to
dates, it was announced yesterday that
Hon. Webster Davis, of Missouri, would
deliver a speech on Wednesday at the
Wheeling Park Casino on Wednesday
night, August 18th. Yesterday the err
ror was rectifled Mr. Davis will ar
rive in Wheeling on Tuesday, and the
meeting to be addressed by him will be
held on that evening, 14th inst.
Mr.. Davis will be remembered as one
of the principal orators at the memoir
able Democratic convention recently
held in Kansas City. He was first as
sistant Secretary Of the Interior under
President Mckinley, but resigned his
position and left the Republican party
because he could not agree with the adj
ministration in its foreign policy. He
will make his reasons for supporting
Bryan plain to all who hear him Tues
day night.
Republicans generally, who read the
announcement in the Register yester-
day morning, expressed a desire to see
and hear Mr. Davis, and all indications
point ito a big audience. The Casino
is an ideal place for a political meet
ing, and is certain to be cool and COM
Portable no matter what the condition
of the weather may be- The Wheeling
& Elm Grove railway will provide a
special car service to and from the
Casino, and admission to the Park and
the Casino will be free.

A DastnrdIy Act.

Last Thursday night, between eleven
and twelve o'clock, as the Wheeling
and Elm Grove motor car, carrying
over fifty people was coming in from
Wheeling Park, it struck a limestone
rock at point between the Terminal
bridge and Eise's, and the passengers
were thrown out of their seats, one
man being seriously injured and the
car damaged to the extent of about
seventy-five dollars. An investigation
showed that the stone had been rolled
from the hillside onto the track, it is
alleged by two Martins Ferry men, out
of revenge for being elected from a
car for disorderly conduct.
These men should be found and
made an example of. 1t is wonder
that some of the passengers were not
killed or seriously injured.

THE CATHEDRAL Sp|gE
AGE WROUGHT By BOLT OF
LIGHTNING.
ENCIRCLED BY A scAFFoLD
Built of Heavy Lumber, Extending
From the Base Around the StcepIe
to the CrOss-A Very Expensive
Piece of Repair Wofk-The Con-
struction of the Parochial Resi-
denees

The work of repairing the Cathedral
spire, which was struck by lightning
during recent storm, attracts great
deal of attention on account of the pc
culiar nature of the improvement The
damage was wrought on the north side,
and the repairs are very expensive.
The work on the spire is rapidly
nearing completion. The contractor,
Mr. John L. Giesey, said he expected
to commence tearing down the scaffol-
ing Monday or Tuesday. The scat
fold is constructed of uprights AKA and
furteen feet long and rough plank. 1t
is built in sections of feet in height
and is over 100 feet high
The scaffold was built in the shape
OF balconies with a railing around
each one to protect the men from fall
ing while at work. During the con-
struction the carpenters were anxious
to get the top so the American flag
could be run up they having a belief
especially when engaged on high work
that they would be safe when working
under it.
The ball at the foot of the cross is
3 feet2 inches in diameter. The up
right piece of the cross is S1a feet high
and the arms are each 21a feet long.
The wood work in the tower was re-
paired, the cross reguilded and some
of the brick work at the base of the
spire reprinted. The cost of the re-
pairs amounts to over $500.
A peculiar freak of the lightning
was hole four inches in diameter
and perfectly rounded, bored through
a solid 3 inch wall. 1t looks as though
a cannon ball had pierced the wall in
stead of a bolt of lightning. 1t is es-
timated by the contractor that the
height of the spire, including the cross,
is 215 feet from the ground but he in
tends to take an exact measurement of
it before the scaffold Is torn down. A
fine view of the city is presented from
the top of the spire, as Benwood, Bel
laire, Bridgeport and Martins Ferry
are plainly discernatble in the distance
while the water at the wharfboat looks
directly underneath the spire.
On the Episcopal residence the brick
work is completed and everything is
ready for the skaters to begin work.
The inside of the structure will be
finished in quarter sawed oak. 1t Is
estimated by the contractor, Mr.. Gies-
ey, that it will be ready for occupation
about the first of January. The build
ing was constructed of fine material
and when completed will be one of the
finest residences in the State.

NEW INVENTION.
MandoIins md Guitars With Double
Sounding Boards.

The F. w. Banner Company have
Just received a line of new mandolins
and guitars, which are attracting an
unusual amount of attention among
musicians. These instruments are
known as the Nightingale and are
an entirely new invention, this being
their first appearance in this city. Their
superiority over other makes is ac-
Quired by means of a sounding board
constructed inside, thus making
double sounding board, which pro-
Guces double the tone of the ordinary
mandolin or guitar
They are finished handsomely, and
though they are immensely superior
they cost no more than the ordinary
instruments. Those interested should
call at the F. w. Banner Companys
store, and they will be pleased TO ex
plain the advantage of these new won
ders.
