The Telephones.

The ordinances OF the Home and Cit
liens Telephone companies were
brought up in the second branch early

ject them; the chair ruled the motion

This ended the matter in the second
branch. In the FIRST branch the ordi-
nance of the National Telephone Com
pany, already passed by the second,
was brought up for It's second reading.
At this Juncture Mr. waterhouse in-
troduced the following resolution,
which was passed:
whereas. there are now pending in tho
second branch Of the council Of tho city OF
Wheeling, the ordinances Of other tele-
phone companies, one OF which rRid COM
pnnteH is reported as making m6rD adVaB-
taEeous offers and far lower rates to the
citizens OF Wheeling than the National

Interesting W. & [. E. Gossip.

Interesting W. & L. E. Gossip.
The discussion of the possibilities Of
the Columbus, sandusky & Hooking
falling into the hands of the Wheeling
& Lake Erie has brought out several
interesting rumors, says the Cleveland
Leader. These do not go very far to-
ward establishing the truth OF the ru-
mors spoken Of, but they go good way
toward establishing the belief that the
Wheeling, as an independent piece of
property, has very short life ahead OF
it.
The story that the Short Line is to
fail into the hands of the Wheeling Is
not believed, on several grounds. 1t
was said in the first place, that the
story came from reliable source, and
1t seems that it must have, II Washing
ton Connors had anything to do with
the PRONUNCIATION OF the rumor. This is
not generally believed, however. 1t is
not believed that the Wheeling cares TO
take under its wing any more roads on
which the earnings are not sure OF be-
ing equal or even superior to the eX-
penses. The Wheeling has had hard
struggle of 1t In financial way. and Is

on this ground. 1t ls'not believed that
the owners OF II have any desire to take
into their fold road which might
break this record and destroy the fair
prospects OF the newly organized road
Another reason why the owners of the
Wheeling might hesitate in taking in
the Short Line is that the advantage to
be gained by such purchase would not
be material. The Short Line drains n
coal field to which the Wheeling is
much nearer at GAINESVILLE. or even Ma
vnrre, than Il would be at Bellevue,
where the c., S. & II. would make its
connection with the Wheeling.
Practically the only advantage to be
gained by an absorption of the Short
Line would be the outlet into the coal
fields. The long haul over the new road
would do away with q great deal OF
whatever profit might arise thcrcfrom.
As to the passenger and general
freight business, the Short Line does

citv Commons Park.

In the FIRST branch. Mr.. NJ. A. Chew
introduced resolution for ascertaIning
the cost of fencing in the city commons
on Wheeling hill, as a preliminary to
utilizing the place for a public park.
The resolution was adopted. In ex-
planning the matter, Mr.. Chew said the
movement had originated in the Twi-
light, Club, before which Mr.. Frank
stanton had read paper on the FEAST
bnlty of making this present spot Of
desolatlon and ugliness a place OF beau
ty from Natures point of view and a
breathing spot for citizens. Members
of the committee OF the Twilight Club
to which the campaign was intrusted,
were present. The committee is COM
posed Of Messrs. S. L. Jepson, Henry NJ.
Russell, c. A. Wlngerter, Howard
Hazlett and Frank Stanton. The COM
mittee's plan is to have the people of
the city take an interest in the matter,
and have trees planted this year. II
council authorizes the proposed fence
the idea Is to have everybody excluded
from the commons until the improve
ments have progressed beyond the en-
bryonic state. The committee, further
along, will propose that city workhouse
prisoners be employed in grading the
commons. The only expense will be the
employment of landscape gardener.

much pulling of wires. with the result
that there was an effort in the first
branch to secure reconsideration of the
vote by which the Warehouse resolu-
ton had passed. Mr.. Chew moved re-
consideration. Another member de-
manded the ayes and nays.
Mr.. waterhouse, addressing the
branch, said he didn't desire to discrim-
mate in favor of any Of the three COM
panles applying for the franchise; in
the Home and Citizens companies
were many Wheeling business men to
whom he desired to extend consIdera-
ton. He hoped the motion to recoG-
slider would not pass.
Mr.. Hamilton, of the Island, held the
same opinion.
The Chew motion to reconsider was
brought to vote and was defeated, II to
8, the vote being as follows:
Ayes-Chew. Knoke. Mccormick,
Schockey. Williams; total, 5.
Nay-Bachman Baird, Beuter. Cart
ley. Hamilton. List. Meyer, scalley,
Schmidt, stroebeI. Warehouse; total,

Mr.. stroebel inquired whether the
first branch could take UP the Home
and Citizens ordinances while they are
tabled in the second branch.
NO think not" was the ruling of
Mayor Sweeney.
Then move we adjourn" said Mr..
stroebel, and the motion went through
with but one or two dissenting votes.
The second branch followed suit. and
at o'clock the meeting was thing of
the past.

his candidacy becomes known. He is
one Of those Republicans who never
have asked, and never will ask for an

money. for the success of the party.
Much warm sentiment attaches to his
name from the fact that he is the init

is the son-in-law of the veteran war
rior, General William H. Gibson.
