The exclusive announcement in the
Intelligence that Rev. L. w. Barr, OF
Fairmont, had gone wrong. occasIoued
great interest among the Wheeling
friends of the Presbyterian minister.
He was former pastor Of the Third
Presbyterian church. this city and
once held charge in Bellaire. As
stated yesterday, he sank considerable
money In the Peach Hin poultry farm.
near West Alexander. which he owned.
He was a man OF strictly temperate
habits. was not gambler. ard made no
investments 70 far as is known. other
than In the poultry farm, 1t Is alleged
that his forgerles and embezzlements
will aggregate 10000. The forgsrles
were manly on his wlfe's grandmother,
Mrs Margaret White.
The first discovery OF Mr.. Bars
shortcomings were made about two
months ago. and he was asked to re-
sign the pastorate of the Presbyterian
church, at. Falrmont. which he had held
for about 1--WE years. His resignation
was forced by the controlling presby-
terry. Lately he had been conducting y
revival ut Spencer. and little over u
week ago he left Fnirmont for good. All
the banks OF FaIrmont lost various
sums. and It is said some Wheeling
banks were vIctlmlzed by forged paper.

The committee having in charge the
decorations for Dewey Day had an
other good meeting last night, and
Chairman Hugo L. LOos Is convinced
that this feature OF public display Will
be pronounced success. The commit
tee came to the conclusion that the
suggestion Of pine decorations could not
be Improved upon. and that is what
they decided to follow The firms OF
House 4 Hermann. George f. stIfel &
Co. George NJ. Shook & Co.. and Stone
& Thomas informed the committee that
they would decorate the street arches
adjacent TO their places OF business.
Wheeling Electrical Company notified
the committee they would furnish
power for the electric lights. This is
very encouraging, and the committee
last night were enthusiastic over the
success Of their part In the entertain
ment OF the celebrated admiral, which
was already assured. The pine neces-
sary for the decorations viii be gather
ed out the Baltimore & Ohio line next
week. The full committee will hold a
meeting at the Mcclure House on next
Tuesday evening, when II is important
that every member should be present.
The committee suggests that parties
having large iagR string them across
the street, instead Of hanging them
out Of Window It will add much Ia
the ensemble Of the decorations.
