The Federation of Churches met yes
terday afternoon at the Y. M. c. A.
building, and outlined their work for
the first week in January, which will
be devoted to prayer. During the ses-
sion the Rev. Samuel Schwarm intro
duced a paper in the interests Of good
citizenship, and it was adopted with
out dissenting voice. 1t was to the
effect that since the movement af-
fects not only Wheeling's good name
and material prosperity but especially
the moral and religious interests of
the city, that an appeal be sent ouc
to all churches that during the coming
week of prayer that the church people
in all the churches make the effort Tor
reform a subject of special prayer.
The following named new officers
were elected for the ensuing term.
President-Rev. D. A. Cunningham.
D. D., of the First Presbyterian
church.
Vice Presidents-Rev. Joseph Speer,
of the Second Presbyterian church;
Rev. j. W. Waters, of the Simpson NJ.
E. church; Rev. T. J. White, of the
Second Christian church; Rev. Martin
w. Buck, of the First Baptist church;
and Rev. Archibald Moore, D. D., the
presiding elder of this district
Secretary-Rev. C. B. Graham, of the
North Street NJ. E. church.
Treasurer-Rev. j. H. Littell, of the
Second United Presbyterian church.
Executive Committee-Rev. Samuel
Schwarm, of the First English Luth-
eran church, chairman; Rev. Charles
NJ. Oliphant, of the First Christian
church; Rev. C. E. Clark, of the First
NJ. E. church: Rev. R. R. Bigger, of
the Third Presbyterian church, and
the Rev. C. B. Graham.
The result of the Democratic pri-
maries was also discussed, and it was
the unanimous opinion that there
were reasons for encouragement in
view of the fact that not only were
twenty-five of the "One Hundreds"
favorite candidates successful, bur
number of others nominated but not
endorsed by the committee, were
equally pleasing to them. 1t was the
sentiment of the meeting that there
were twenty-eight or thirty of the
nominees whom they would gladly see
elected.

Aground at Duff's.

The towboat James Moren is fast
aground at Duff's, but it is thought no
damage will result on account of her
having to suspend in the middle OF
the river. The Tom Dodsworth in go
ing to Pittsburg grounded first and
the James Moren, with her barges
strung out behind her tried to pass
around the Dodsworth
The Moren's four empties swung
around, pulling the boat and placing
it aground. The Dodsworth was float
ed off and proceeded to Pittsburg, but
the Moren remained aground.
The Sailor, VIM. g. Horner and 9TH
er towboats lay below Duff's with their
lows until daylight. fearing to try
to pass the grounded boats in the dark
ness.
