The fight of the Benwood citizens
against the ordinance presented by the
Wheeling Railway Company to the
town council, p%etitioning for a fran
chise to remove their tracks from the
principal thoroughfares to the hill
side east of the B. & o. road to avoid
the crossings, is waxing warm and in
terest is now conferred in the result of
the special meeting to be held this
evening by the committee on ordi-
nances.
Benwood citizens yesterday claimed
that they have been assured that it is
the object of the railway company to
first secure the right to make the pro-
posed change in their line in the CEN
trail part of the industrial town and
then later, in case that the National
Tube Company purchases the ear
barns in upper Benwood, cross the
B. & o. road, thus also avoiding the
graded crossing at Bogg's run.
AhO SiIiAOho JOoCCludy uC6dA W ClI-
culate a petition to be presented to the
Bellaire and Benwood Bridge and
Ferry Company with a view of secur-
ing reduced rates so that they may
patronize the Bellaire merchants in
stead of the Wheeling merchants in
case the company is successful in their
efforts to bring about the change.
1t is said that the committee on or
dinances in session Monday evening,
offered a proposition to the company
as a possible mea of settling the
question. 1t provides that the tracks
along Main and McMechen streets be
extended to Eighth street, that a spe-
cial car be run through the town for
the benefit of the residents along these
thoroughfares, that the cars stop near
the Riverside coke plant in order that
the passengers may walk across the
B. & o. tracks and take the cars pass
ing along the hillside, and also that
transfers be given to maintain the five
cent fare between Benwood and
Wheeling.
The committee meeting to be held
this evening will very likely show
whether or not the company is in favor
of the proposition.

The Cutting Case.

In speaking of the recent cutting
ARRAY in North Benwood. recently,
Prosecuting Attorney J. T. Parsons
yesterday stated that he has thorough
ly invested the case and does not see
that the State can possibly make a
case against George w. Hammond,
who did the cutting, as he only acted
in self-defense, as is shown by the evil
dence collected. He stated that the
Benwood 'Squires have signiied their
willingness to issue warrants on COM
plant of any one against the parties
who were implicated in the trouble.
1t is learned that Matthews, who was
cut in the fight, is reluctant to bring
a charge against Hammond. There will
be no further developments in the case,
it is thought, unless Hammond pre-
fers charges against the other men
who are known by the police to have
figured in the fight.

Howe's Moving Pictures.

The Lyman H. Howe Moving Picture
Company that will exhibit at the Opera
House Friday and Saturday evenings,
is the only modern perfect, up to date
and strictly first class attraction of this
kind giving exhibitions in America to-
day. This company carries the only
machine that can illustrate a picture
in all its realism. Its superiority over
all other competitors is SO marked
that it really has no peer or equal for
the simple eason that it is SC modern
and improved. 1t is the only real ar
ticle in moving picture machines, as 1t
presents each and every view without
a culver or flicker, and with such a
forcible na%turalness as to lead the
audience to believe that it is looking at
the actual scene instead of merely a
picture reflected on canvas.

Chnnlain Chadwick.

In speaking of Chaplain Chadwick,
who will speak at the Carroll Club on
next Monday evening, the P%ittsburg
Post said: "The enthusiasm was man
ifested in a constant fusilade of ap-
plause. Patriotism and sheer admira-
ton of magnificent eloquence inspired
it. Chaplain Chadwick, like Virgil's
hero, could say, All of which l saw,
and part of which I was He began
with quieting the scruples Of those who
wondered how a teacher of Christian
ity could speak with eulogy of the
glories of war. He quoted a famous
poetical passage describing the horrors
of conflict, but held that some wars
are justifiable and necessary. Nations
must maintain their supreme honor.
There are times when governments
must demand a sacrifice for outraged
humanity"

BRAIN FOOD
II Of Little Benent UnIess 1t IL Di,
rested.

KG0IG0.
Nearly everyone will admit that
as q nation we eat too much meat
and too little OF vegetables and
the grains.
For business men, office men
and clerks, and in fact everyone
engaged in sedentary Or indoor
occupations, grains, milk and veg
etables are much more health
full.
Only men engaged in a severe
out door manual labor can live on
a heavy meat diet and continue
in health.
As a general rule, meat once a
day is sufficient for all classes of
men, women and children, and
grains, fruit and vegetables should
constitute the bulk Of food eaten.
But many of the most nutri-
tious foods are difficult of diges-
ton and 1t is of no S to advise
brain workers to eat largely OF
grains and vegetables where the
digestion is too weak to assimi-
late them properly.
1t is always best to get the best
results from our food that some
simple and harmless digestive
should be taken after meals to as
sist the relaxed digestive organs,
and several years experience have
proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to be a very safe. pleasant and
effective digestive and a remedy
which may be taken daily with the
best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
hardly be called a patent medi-
cine, as they do not act on the
bowels nor any particular organ,
but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lack,
pepsin diastase and by stimulat-
ing the gastric glands increase the
natural secretion of hydrochlorlc
acid.
People who make a daily prac-
tice of taking n or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal are sure to have per-
feet digestion which means per-
feet health.
There Is no danger Of forming
an injurious habit as the tablets
contain absolutely nothing but
natural digestives; cocaine, NOR
phine and similar drugs have no
place in a stomach medicine and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
certainly the best known and
most popular of all stomach rene
dies.
Ask you druggist for a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets and after a weeks use
note the improvement in health,
appetite and nervous energy.

extensive as reported in some Of the
papers. The trustees have contracted
with the West Virginia Steel Company
for one of their beautiful metal cell
ings for $3.50. This does not include
the dome which is all right and Will
be left as it is. The metal ceiling
may not be so artistic as the decorated

George A. Huntington, editor of the
Intelligencer. from the time of the
appointment of Mr.. Hart as United
States Minister to Colombia until he
was stricken with illness some four
months ago., died at. the residence of
his father, R. c. Huntington, at Fair
mont, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
in the forty-third year of his age.
Thus stricken while yet a young man,
and almost at the outset of an edi-
torial career giving him a much more
extended field in his profession than
he had previously occupied, but re-
Gently happily married, and sur
rounded by a wide circle of friends,
Mr.. Dunnington's death Is a particu-
larly sad one, and will be regretted
throughout the entire State, but no.
where more than here in Wheeling,
his home for the past fourteen years,
and where his friends are most num-
erous. 1t is certain that several will
go to Fairmont to attend the funeral
services, of the date of which, howev-
er, the Register was not definitely adj
vised last night.
Deceased was a native of Fairmont,
where he was born July II, 1858. At
the age of fifteen he entered the Office
Of the West Virginian, where he
learned the trade of a printer. In
1875 he was associated with Col. Clar-
ence l.. Smith, in the publication of
the Index, but after a year sold ont
his interest and went to Indianapolis,
where he was in the employ of a grain
house. He soon returned to Fair
mont, however, and with o. S. Nc
Kinney published some Supreme Court
reports. His next newspaper expert
ence was at Cincinnati, where he edit
ed a socity and dramatic weekly. lie
then secured a position in the govern
ment printing Office at Washington,
where he remained three years, Deing
largely engaged as a special cores
pendent. Returning to West Virgin
ia, Mr.. Huntington edited the Graf
ton Sentinel, and in 1880 he wrote a
splendid history of Marion county.
In 1886 Mr.. Huntington came to
Wheeling to take the night editors
desk on the Intelligencer, for which
paper he had correspondent while in
Washington, and held this and other
positions on the newspaper until the
resignation of Mr.. Hart placed him
in the editorial chair. A little over a
year ago he married Miss Florence
Kidwell, of Washington City, and re-
sided on North Market street until his
illness, which came upon him without
warning and with a suddenness only
equalled by its hopeless char
acter. After a few weeks of suffering
here, the patient was. removed to the
home of his father in Fairmont, and
there remained until his death.
