some CONDITIONS
Under which The wheeling Railway
Franchise May be Recommended
TO THE BENwooD COUNCIL.
Council Committee and Company's
Representatfve-The Concession
Was Made by Both Sides-Other
Benwood News.

1t is very likely that the petition of
the Wheeling Railway Company for a
franchise to remove their tracks from
the thoroughfares of Central Benwood
to the hillside, east of the B. & o.
road, will be recommended to the town
Council by the committee on ordi-
nances under certain conditions. Two
conferences have been held between
the committee and the company's legal
representative, and concessions have
been made by both sides with view
OF bringing about an amicable settle
ment of the question.
In an interview with one of the COM
mitteemen yesterday it was learned
that the company in order to secure
the right of connecting with the
Moundsyille line east of the B. & O.
road is willing to let the tracks re-
main along Main and McMechen streets
and extend them to Eighth, to run a
car through the town ever seven min
utes, according to the present sched-
use; to give transfers to the Benwood
passengers; to place waiting stations
at the head of Fourth and Eighth
streets, and an overhead bridge from
the head of Sixth street to the Heights
and to ask five cent fare for single
trip between North Wheeling and the
Junction. The company is DESTROYS of
placing double track along the hill
side and is also willing to provide
twenty feet of paved road space.
The ordinance committee will meet
again tomorrow evening and will, in
all probability recommend the ordi-
nance providing for the change under
the conditions as pointed out. The
results of the regular meeting of Coun-
Gil next Tuesday evening will be watch
ed with interest generally.
A number of the citizens yesterday
stated that If the franchise is granted
it ought also to be upon the condition
of scent fare from McMechen to
Wheeling.

ANOTHER FENIAN PLOT.
Canadians Fear an Attempt to Blow
Up Kingston Penitentiary.

NEW YORK, July THE city of Kings
ton. Ont, was greatly excited, last night
over news that a band Of unknown per-
sons has been trying 10 blow up the Kings
ton penitentiary and release Nolan, Walsh
and Dullman, the men who were sentenced
to the Kingston penitentiary for life for
attempting TO blow up the Welland canal
with dynamite. says a report from that
place. Every precaution has been taken TO
guard against the accomplishment OF the
scheme. This week two Dominion govern
ment detectives have been in the city. They
expect outrage by Fenians. For two
nights in succession a close watch has been
maintained. both inside and outside the
walls OF the penitentiary. This watch will
be continued day and night until all dam
ger is passed.
The plot was first discovered by a man
who was running a searchlight on a pas
senger steamer. When she passed the peni-
tentiary at night the light was thrown on
the institution, and on several nights men
were seen digging on the wharf at the west
side OF the institution. When they saw the
light they ran away. What they were doing
has not been discovered. The government
has issued an order that no visitors be al
lowed to enter the penitentiary.

Torch Applied to the Legations and
the Bodies of Foreigners Cremat-
ed, According to One Report.

LONDON, June z, 9:15 p. NJ
The Foreign Office has issued the
text of a telegram from acting
Consul General Warren, at Shang-
hal, confirming, from thoroughly
trustworthy sources, the news re-
ceived by carrier from Peking on
July 3, by way of Shanghai, to the
London Office of the inspectorate
of Chinese maritime customs, say
ing that two legations were, the
day the courier left, holding out
against the troops and Boxers, and
that the troops had lost 1000 men
and the Boxers mary leaders.
Mr.. Warren adds that the mes
senger says the troops were much
disheartened by their losses, and
that the Boxers claim their mystic
powers have been broken by the
foreigners, and that they dare not
approach the legations.
It is further asserted that the
foreigners at Peking ought to be
able to hold out for a long time, as
they have sufficient food and am
munition.
The dispatch referred to as be-
ing received at the London Office
of the Inspector of the maritime
customs says: "Courier left Peking
on July 3, when two legations
were holding out against the
troops and Boxers. The troops
had lost 1000 men and the Boxers
many leaders,"
Jardine, Matheson & Co., of
Shanghai, have telegraphed to
their London house as follows:
"The British legation was stand
ing July 2. There are reassuring
reports regarding the lives of the
Europeans"

Much Damage Done at Kalamazoo and
I'm the Country Nearby.

KALAMAZOO. Mich, July IA tornado
accompanied by a cloudburst and hail
storm swept over Kalamazoo this after
noon and a conservative estimate places
the damage at 100000. The storm lasted
half an hour and In that time nearly six
inches of water fell, completely inundating
the city and doing great damages In the
lowlands. where celery raising is carried on.
The crop may be ruined. No lives were
lost, which is marvellous, considering the
number of buildings wrecked. Among the
principal losses are: Speyers' dry goods
store roof blown off and stock flooded,
damage $4,000; Michigan Telephone Com
pany, wires and poles leveled, loss $4,000;
Stearns clothing store, struck by lightning,
damage $1,000: Schaus's hardware store,
$1,000. Many other stores were flooded,
failing lesser losses.
The storm was equally severe I'm the
country west of here, but no word can be
got from neighboring towns, wires be-
ing down. Kalamazoo river is out of its
banks, and is washing out the crops along
it's source and doing other damage. AT the
Michigan Insane Asylum a panic was mar
rowly averted among the patients. To-
night reports of additional damages are
coming in from all parts of the city and
immediate vicinity and some place the loss
as high as $4,000.
