ZANE HEIRS
Claim That Conditions Governing
Land Grant Are Violated.

Claim That Conditions Governing
Land Grant Are Violated.
A special telegram to the Cincinnati
Enquirer from Lancaster, Ohio, is in
teresting to Wheeling people because
of the fact that Ebenezer Zane was one
of the pioneers of Wheeling. 1t says:
''When Ebenezer Zane laid out the
city of Lancaster, just 100 years ago
this fall, he granted for the use of the
people a square in the heart of the
city and another square on South High
street, specifying the uses to which
these tracts might be put for city pur-
poses.
IS. R. Klotts, of Rappahannock, Va,
representing the relatives of Ebenezer
Zane, is in Lancaster claiming that
the conditions of these grants have
been violated by the city, and that
therefore the heirs Of the city's foun-
der are entitled to damage or remun-
Grafton for such misuse or violation.
No formal action against the city has
been filed by Mr.. Klotts, and City So
licitor F. NJ. Acton denies that the
terms of the grants have in any way
been violated
"A market house was removed from
the public square and an engine house
erected on the High street square. The
property is now worth many thousands
Of dollars

The fight for municipal offices is on.
The struggle for the Republican nomin-
alton for city clerk has narrowed down
to the present incumbent, Thos.
O'Brien, Jr., and Walter Worls, clerk
of the first branch of council. II the
new council is Republican-which is
possible but hardly probable-there
will be a big fight against some Of the
present office holders. Already several
names are being mentioned in connec-
ton with tn city collectorship, it being
the general belief that J. K. Hall will
be provided for elsewhere.

DEMOCRATS BROKE EVEN
IN THEIR WAGERS ON THE RESULT
OF THE ELECTION LAST
TUESDAY
THROUGH IRWIN's. VICTORY
Vacancies in Federal Offices in This
State, and Candidates Who Are
Slated to Fill Them-GOssip About
County and Municipal Politics.

The Democrats of Ohio county were
not so unfortunate in their wagers as
Democrats elsewhere, from the fact
that nearly all who INDUCED fondne5s
for backing their judgment with cash
had selected Irwin as the winner IN
the sheriffalty fight. They took Wag-
ers on the general result, but demand
ed the long odds prevailing in the east.
Few, if any, bets were made on the re-
suit in West virginia, Republicans be-
ing willing to bet on majorities rang
ing as high as $4,000 on the presiden-
tial electors. A number Of wagefs were
made on $4,000 in Ohio. One Market
street business man bet that Mckinley
would have greater plurality in New
York than four years ago, but such
freak bets were rare.
Sometimes even freak bets prove to
be winners, however. In this category
might be placed two wagers made in
the Parlor saloon by Democrat who
offered two to one on Irwin, and was
snapped up promptly by a Republican
merchant who lives within a stones
throw of the saloon. The Democrats
regarded the offer to bet that Bryan
would not have as large a vote in the
electoral college as he received four
years ago as a freak wager, and they
took all the money that was offered on
this proposition and clamored for more.
After the illustrious trio of public
building officials took charge Of DR..
Taylor's campaign, it created conn
dence among the Republicans and they
put up a great amount of money in the
aggregate upon Taylor. On election
day, however, a young business man OF
the South Side bet the Taylor people to
a standstill in the Mcclure house lobby,
and cleaned up about $500 on Irwin.
The last wager he made was $500 to
$50 on Irwin, and he offered three to
one later, with no takers.
A story is told of a more or less as
tute politician, who is in a jobbing
business on Main street, who declared
after the polls closed that DR.. Taylor
was elected. Upon the strength of his
opinion many of his friends placed
wagers against Irwin, and it is said
that his ears have tingled unpleasantly
ever since. Another story that is going
the rounds is to the effect that early
Tuesday night several Democrats made
three bets of S. to SO each on DR.. Tay-
lor in a saloon near the postoffice,
which was crowded at the time. The
object was to start a Taylor boom in
the betting fraternity, and it is said to
have succeeded TO such an extent that
the agents of these men went up street
later and succeeded in getting $500 of
Republican money.
While the dimensions of the Repub-
lican landslide would justify the belief
that the Democrats won scarcely any
of their wages, it is probable that
Ohio county Democrats split even be-
cause of the big amount of money that
was laid on Twins chances.

Tonight the Republicans are to jol-
lily over their success last Tuesday.
There is every indication that big
crowd will be out, but the demonstra-
ton will be lacking the numbers and
enthusiasm which would have been as
ISOLATED with it if it had taken place
last week. Saturday night was the log
ical time for the demonstration, but it
is said to have been changed to Monday
night because of the insistance of an
Intelligencer man, and because, for
sooth, the Intelligencer publishes no
Sunday edition. Many who would nave
participated Saturday night find them
selves in the dilemma of being COM
PEELED to choose between neglecting
work and not parading, and in ma
jority of cases they will decide to work.
1t was a glorious victory, however, and
those who are personally and directly
benefited should be willing to cut
loose on red fire and sky rockets.

When A. B. White was nominated for
governor, and before the State papers
began to speculate upon his probable
successor as Collector of Internal Rev
enue, Mr. A. R. Campbell, the local in
ternal revenue agent, announced his
candidacy for the place. 1t was en-
dorsed by several Republican papers,
and ex-senator Campbell has all along
felt confident that the place would
come to him as matter of political
justice. Now. however. it appears that
Judge Reese Blizzard, of Calhoun coun-
ty, is slated for the place. There is apt
to be some sassy" talk when the ap-
pointemena is made, no matter which

In the Congressional, race III the third

Federal Offices in West Virginia
Elliott Northcott, of Huntington, who
had his eyes on the nomination for
auditor, but could not scare up enough
votes to make showing, and was also
handicapped by the geographical dis
tribution of the plums, is Gaines as
sistant as U. s. district attorney, and
is his most likely successor. Governor
G. w. Atkinson is also mentioned, but
he is not hand in glove with the doni-
nant faction in the party. Hon. c. I.
Caldwell Of Parkersburg, also coyets
the position, but Charlie has been
turned down for the u. s. Senatorship,
for Congressman, and even denied the
privilege to make the race for the mod

leaders figure that it will be the easiest
kind of a job to side-track him.

CRY OF WOLF WON'T WORK.

A recent cartoon in Puck pictures
the street car riots in st. Louis and as
serts that they are the realization Of
the anarchistic Chicago platform.
Now, the cry Of vol. was effective In
1896, but It is frayed at the elbows and
run down at the heels this year. Peo-
Pile have seen Bryan and have failed to
discover the cloven hoof hidden In his
ample boots. a tail curled beneath his
sack coat. or horns sproutins from his
head scantily covered with hair. They
no longer believe that death and de-
struction follow In the wake Of an en-
actment OF Democratic laws. Surely q
party that stands for every principle
dear to the FOUNDERS of the republic
10 not going to tear the nation up by
the roots and cast II into the sea.
Some new fake" must be tried this
year. Puck. the New York Times and
other muswump papers that are
screaming anarchy. are wasting their
powder. 1t won't work again.
But to take Puck's cartoon seriously
for = moment. The Democratic party
lost at the polls in 1896. II any na-
tional party Ia to be blamed for the la
bor troubles that have been SO numer-
Gus during the present administration
surely 1t cannot be blamed ON the
Democrats. Mr.. Mckinley takes credit
for the large wheat crops. He ought
by the same reasoning to bear the bur-
den Of the labor troubles. That such q
cartoon il printed BY \ reputable paper
shows the lengths to which partisan-
ship will carry otherwise sane men,

From the Boston Herald: Justice

dom at the New England dinner In
Chicago on Bunker Hill day. II his re-
marks, as is probable. were not In
tended to have personal application,
1t is almost enevitable that they should
be SO interpreted. He said: There
were no milk and water men in New
England. There were many things In
their lives which lacked sweetness and
grace. But there was that force and
that steadlness which made them a
power. They were men who did not

CHINA'S APPEAL

Washington. July 23.-rhe President
has listened to the appeal of the Chi

through Minister WI. and has signiiied
his willingness to mediate between the
imperial government and the powers.
but only on conditions which first must
be met by the Chinese government. Inc
exact nature of the terms proposed by
the State Department cannot he stated
until tomorrow when IL Is expected
that publication will be made of the
text OF the Chinese appeal and of the
Presidents message.
1t Is known. however. that the an
swer is entirely consistent with the

tive to the safety OF the foreign minis
tiers nj P-kin.
II would not. OF course, he possible
to take initial steps toward mediation
We're either party TO the negotiations to
entertain open distrust of the accuracy
OF the statements OF the other. There
must be confidence between them. The
United States answer does not go TO
the length of the French answer to Il
similar application. in laying down con-
ditioins which the Chinese government
could not meet even IL so disposed. il 1t
actually is struggling for its own eX.
istcnce. 1t does. however. look to the
immediate relief Of foreigners in Pckin.
ands moreover. to the protection OF all
foreigners. missionaries and traders in
China, and TO the restoration of order.
With this much accomplished, the State
Department feels that it can properly
approach the powers with the Chinese
propositions for settlement for what
has occurred.
