iously stated in the Register, ne has

OF concerns seeking advantageous loca-
ton, some asking for free land grants
or cash bonuses and others making an
honest inquiry. 1t is the latter class
BRAT the Board of Trade will erdeavor
OF contemplated enterprises in which
the projectors have sought information
from Mr.. Thompson.
Within few days Secretary Thomp-
son has been in close touch with Off
Gals of company desiring to remove
to new quarters. If the company can
be induced to locate in Wheeling it will
be an important and valuable addi-
ton to Wheeling's manufacturing in
situations, furnishing employment to a
considerable number of men.
Yesterday Mr. j. F. Adams, the local

rotary, the work of the Board requiring

Mr.. Adams during his absence Mr..

when his work IS concluded it is ex-
pected that the Board of Trade will be

for discussion will be the B. & o. rail-
roads relations to the city of Wheel

purpose of considering the best posi-
BILE means for increasing Wheeling
trade and a large attendance is ex-
pected. The committee on schedules,
which was appointed recently by the
directors of the Board, will very likely
submit a report of their work upon that
occasion.

MARTIN'S FERRY.
focal News From the City of Mills
and Factories.


Yesterday afternoon William Hlc-
Knight. better known as Shady,
died at the home of his parents on
North Fifth street. AS has already been
stated in the Register he arrived home
Saturday from Cincinnati very low
with consumption, and yesterday the
end came, after leading an eVentful
life. Mcknight was the son of good
Christian parents, but failed to follow
their teachings, and when but a boy
he started on a hayward career, and
had probably been the most noted
character in this county. Early in life,
for some misdeed he was sent to the re-
form school. but after leaving that in
sGitution he commenced the same
tactics over and spent the greater
part of his time behind the bars, hav-
ing served three terms in the peniten-
tiary, and most probably saved himself
a fourth term by escaping from the
New Martinsville Jail with gang
All the others were caught, and at
present are in the penitentiary at
Moundsville. He had several jail sem
fences also, but after his escape little
was heard of him until he notified
his parents from Cincinnati that he
wanted to come back home to his
aged parents, who. in his last hours,
gave him the kindeEt of attention. Al
though having committed many
crimes, it is said he repented. He was
Sc years old, and the ending is a sad
one The funeral arrangements had not
been made last evening.
