DECORATING IN THE RAIN.

and Late Last Night.
The rain generally anticipated Tues
day put in an appearance yesterday
morning about nine o'clock, and the
remainder of the day was about as
miserable and unpleasant as could be
wished for by the members Of the
stay-at-home club. To-day, however,
the indications are for colder weather,
probably sufficient to freeze up the
mud.
Notwithstanding the almost steady
downpour the work OF decorating the
city went forward without q moments
interruption. The force CT men at
work on the arches finished their
share of the work during the after
moor and evening, and last night they
looked very handsome.
Business houses and many resi-
dences were made gay with bunting
and flags and steamers during the
day, and the work added very notice
ably to the general effect in the bust
ness portion of the city. Among he
largest and most important decora-
tions were those OF Stone G Thomas.
Warehouse Bros. Hubbard & PAUL,
Joseph Speidel Company, George S.
Feeny Company, the Riverside office,
the Baer Sons Grocery Company, the
German Bank. the Reilly building,
the Register Office, Schenck & Sons, F.
W. Banner Company, the Hub and
many others. In many instances the
effect secured was far above the ordin-
airy, and to-day Wheeling will look
better in this regard, than V e before
in its history. The result achieved
in the worst season of the year re-
fleets great credit upon Il citizens,
and they are deserving of praise.

So dense was the crowd on Market

streets after Dewey had passed, that
it required a man, making all possible

Gus Call.
The big Congressional delegation
scheduled to arrive in this city at
S:35 yesterday morning failed to put
in an appearance, owing to a call for
a Republican House caucus on the

Dovener and Dayton were the only
members who put in ar appearance,
whereas at least a dozen were expect
ed, including that old friend of Wheel

Kentucky.
AS a result of this disappointment

Congressional excursion to Wheeling
a little later in the present sessions.
