POLICE COMMITTEE
Failed to Secure n Quorum But Dis
cussed Matters InformauX

A meeting Of the Council Committee on
Police was called for last night, but it
failed of a quorum. While waiting for an
absent member, the Committee discussed
various matters pertaining to the police
department. Mr.. Chew and Mr.. Fox ia
vored increasing the wages of employees of
the city prison from $40 to $50 a month,
but Mr.. Bradbury favored an increase of
but $ a month, and gave as a reason that
If the city is ever to secure anewwork
house, it would be an unwise precedent to
grant the request of the workhouse Off
Gals, as similar demands would come
from other departments, and the proba-
bility of a large appropriation for the
police department would be defeated.
Members of the committee generally IA
vor the old reservoir as the site for the
proposed new workhouse, and all other
locations have dropped out of sight. The
old reservoir presents many advantages,
not the least being the quantity OF stone
conveniently at hand for the foundation
and superstrueture. The committee desires
an appropriation of $4,000 for the police
department, and II this amount Is secured,
a new workhouse Is practically assured.

GOOD WORK
OF the Fire Department Yesterday
Prevented n Destructive Fire in
the Peabody Building.

of the Fire Department Yesterday
Prevented a Destructive Fire in
the Peabody Building.
What might have proved a very dis
tructive fire was only averted yester-
day about noon by the excellent work
of the department generally, and the
Eleventh street chemical company in
particular. The fire was discovered in
the Peabody building, 1121-1128 Mar
ket street, at exactly half-past twelve
o'clock. and an alarm sent in from box
10. When the first company, Chemical,
No. 5, arrived on the scene the fire
was burning briskly under the roof
Just back of the elevator shaft. A
number of companies were soon on
the scene and the fire vas under con-
troll after an hours work. It was, how
ever. after two o'clock before the blaze
was put out. Had the fire reached the
elevator the top story would have been
Quilted owing t o the large amount OF
grease and oil on it.
The blaze originated from a defective
fue. Five hundred dollars will easily
cover the loss. Several wheels belong
ing to the Jason C. Stamp bicycle
house. which were standing on the
pavement, were slightly damaged by
the chemicals.

BIG COAL DEAL
Is Reported to Have Been Made in
Belmont County, Ohio,


1t was reported yesterday in Bridgeport
that the Pittsburg & Wheeling Coal Co.,
who operate and control the Wheeling
creek mines and the Crescent mines west
of Bridgeport, on the c., l.. & w. had
sold their property to Johnston Bros, of
Columbus, Ohio, who nave heretofore
been large operators in the Pennsylvania
coal regions, but recently sold out at an
enormous profit, agreeing to leave the
field; but it is said that this firm is now
trying to get control of all or a majority
of the mines along the c., L. & w.
This report, while quite probable, lacks
confirmation, but from the recent action
of the present owners, leads one to be
lieve that the deal will be consummated.
as the portion of the mine that has not
been in operation for some time, is fast
being put in shape for operation, and. this
alone leads many to believe there is going
to be such a deal. These mines are the
largest in Belmont county and are well
equipped in every way and a fair consid-
Grafton for property and machinery would
come near the $4,000 mark. These mine
are considered among the most valuable
along the c., L.. & w. line.
A Register reporter called on a gentle
man who is in close touch with the pres
ent wners and one who would most prob
ably know of such a deal. He stated that
he was not aware of any deal being made
or any contemplation of same by the COM
pany, but said it might occur without his
knowledge at the start, but hat he would
say that he had learned that Johnston
Bros. were looking for mines along the
c., L.. G. w. and had made several inveS-
legations. All that the citizens of Bridge
port and vicinity wish is that the mines
will continue in operation, and as to change
of management, it will soon come to light
if there is any.

AN INTERESTING REPORT.
Ringing Brothers Said to Contem-
plate Establishing Winter Quar-
tiers Here.

Previous to their departure from the
city, is is reported that Ringing Bros,
proprietors of the big show bearing their
name. made some inquiries which led to
the supposition that they contemplated es-
tablishing winter headquarters in Wheel
ing. A rumor was in circulation to the
effect that a very desirable piece of prop
erty on the upper end of the Island was
looked over with that end in view.
Yesterday the Register sent a telegram
to the Ringing Bros, at Washington. Pa.
with a view to getting y confirmation OF
denial of the story. The reply was rather
evasive:
1T is too early to do the subject you
speak of justice. We may consider II
later"

Actuated by dependency caused by
being out Of work and Ill, Charles lind
ner, OF the North End, attempted to end
his life early yesterday morning, but
failed, and will probably Gov from
his s~elf-infiicted injuries He is about
forty years of age, was born In Wheel
ing and has spent almost his entire
life here. He is unmarried.
The unfortunate man was employed
for some time at the Top mill blast
furnace. About three months ago he
went to board with the family of
Thomas Walker. who lives at No. LOG
Coal street. He worked regularly at
the furnace until a few weeks ago,
when he was taken LII. He was con-
fined to his bed until a few days ago,
and was strong enough Thursday to
come down town to see the circus pa
rade. He was respondent, however, on
account of his illness and his friends
believe this to have been the motive
that actuated him in the rash attempt
to end his existence. He did not ap-
pear so gloomy Thursday as usual, and
talked about returning to work soon.
In the morning several other work
men at the house left for the mill about
$50 O'Clock, and it was about eight
o'clock when Mrs. Walker went to his
room to call him for breakfast. Re
ceiying no answer she looked into the
room and saw the blood on the pill
lows. Then she summoned assistance,
and later DR.. C. F. Ulrich was called
and dressed the Injuries of the unfor-
tunate man.
Lindner used an ordinary Barlow
knife in his attempt at self-destruc-
ton. He first inserted 1t in the side
of his neck, for the evident purpose OF
seyering an artery. Evidently fearing
that the wound would not be sufficient
to cause death, he then cut one OF his
wrists. Neither cash severed an
artery, however. Soon after receiving
medical attention he regained con-
seriousness, but offered no excuse or
explanation for his rash act. He was
removed in the ambulance to the oun
ty infrmary.

Only Enough Barees Loaded to
Equip Four Boats-0ther River
Items.
PITTSBURE. Pa, April 2o.-Four
towboats have been ordered South,
namely: the Sam Brown, Dick Fulton.
Tom Dodsworth and Pacific No. q This
will be the first run OF coal this month,
the only other boat having taken out
a tow of coal being the Ed. Roberts.
More boats would be sent II there were
more loaded barges. The supply was
curtailed on account Of the mining Diff
aculties, which has been temporarily
settled. the miners being at work
again.
The boats ordered south will take IA
barges each, and will be assisted out
by the Robert Mckinley, Tornado,
Acorn and cruiser. These boats will
go as far as Bellaire, and farther if
necessary. It is confidently expected
that there will be a coalboat stage OF
water within a few days, as the river
men regard the indications good for
rain.
The small stern-wheel boat being
built by Capt. Gordon Greene for the
low water trade will fill "a long felt
want" This boat will not ply in any
particular trade, but when the river
gets so low that the big packets are
able to come only as far as East Liver
pool the low water boat will be called
out and act as a transfer packet for all
the Ohio river steamers. The boats
hull will be square, with fiat bottom,
and will not draw over IL inches of
water. She will have a carrying
capacity of 100 tons and have a cabin
for the crew only, Is it is not intended
to carry passengers. The operating of
this boat will enable the Cincinnati and
other packets to operate at least two
or three weeks longer In a season, for
the little boat can run where there is
less than two feet of water at the Davis
Island dam.

missed the train. but his partner, who
was behind him. was not so fortunate.
and was hit by the engine and knocked
on the track. His shoulder blade was
broken and he was painfully bruised.
