A Large Attendance at the Concert
and Ball at Wheeling Park, Last
Night.
Last evening was a very oppressive
one in the city, but it was exceptional
ly enjoyable at Wheeling Park, now in
the height of its midsummer beauty.
The attendance was about one thous-
and, made up of the best people of the
city and suburban neighborhood, and
the preliminary concert was no less
enjoyable than the following hop. The
concert programme was rendered by
the Opera House orchestra, under the
direction of Conductor Spell, and was
as follows:
PART I.

During the rendition of this pro-
gramme the large attendance of visi-
tors sat out under the trees and chat
ted pleasantly while listening to the
music, and there were many inter
changes of friendly courtesies and
much pleasant chat. At ten o'clock
the concert programme having been
completed, the orchestra repaired to
the Casino, where the following dane
ing programme was given, to the de-
light of large attendance:

The Board of County Commissioners
spent some time Monday In squab-
bling over the bill of the Wheeling
Iron and Wire works for repairs TO the
county Jail. The entire trouble has
arisen from the fact that the bill is
several hundred per cent larger than
was anticipated, and as the work does
not appear to have been ordered in the
regular way. the matter viii probably
be discussed pro and con until the
next meeting of the Board at least.
1t appears, from the most reliable
information obtainable, that Sheriff
Richards and Jailor VIM. Mccormick
thought precautions should be taken
to guard against a Jail delivery, par
ticularly because there have been a
number of desperate criminals confin-
ed in the Jail during the past six
months, men whose reputation would
justify the belief that they would take
ou'oAeuS0 u OfSly OPpVA toA2Aty " SS-
cape. Mr.. Moore, who is chairamn of
the committee on Court House and
Jail, was consulted, and gave instruc-
tons to have the really necessary work
done. 1t is understood that Mr.. Moore
thought this would necessitate an out
lay of about $50. 1t is also under
stood that Mr.. Moore acted without
consulting other members of the COM
mittee. This was charged at the Board
meeting by Commissioner Adolph
Fritz The Sheriff thought the work
would cost about 500.
The representative Of the Wheeling
Iron and Wire Works was commission
ed to make the improvements and did
SO. He would doubtless have acted
wisely If he had furnished an estimate,
or made a contract. but these condi-
tons were not mentioned by his en-
ployers.
AT the first meeting at which the
bill was presented, 1t was streneously
objected to on account of it's size. At
Mondays meeting it was stated that
the company promised to correct the
bill. This was denied by representa-
tive of the company who was present,
but there are members of the Board
who insisted that this promise was
given.
There was one item in the bill, OF
$72 for a dozen locks. The Sheriff says
these were necessary. The other work
included a wire screen. and barbed
wire wrapped around upright pillars
which afforded a possible means of
reaching the air shaft and effecting an
escape from the Jail. The Sheriff says
all these were necessary precautionary
measures. "The work is all there" he
adds, land I think the only thing an
investigating committee can do will be
to ascertain If the charges are exorbi-
tant, and if not to recommend the pay
ment of the bill"

WASHINGTON MAN
Seized With Cramps While Swim-
ming Last Evening in the River.

AAihts AIhSt GIt cnIHSs fne H1Ver.
A man about forty years old, evil
IDENTIFY stranger in the city, while
swimming with several boys in the
river near the ferry yacht landing on
the wharf last evening, about half past
nine O'Clock, was taken i'll with cramps,
and called for help. Two or three lads
who were near quickly assisted him to
a less dangerous position on the wheel
of the steamer Avalon, which was tied
up nearby, and later he was taken
aboard a launch and brought to the
bank.
The ambulance was called and he was
taken to police headquarters. There
he gave the name of Frank Otis. and
stated that his home was in Washing
ton, d. c. The man suffered consider
able pain, and was scarcely able TO
talk intelligently. He was removed
as soon as possible to the city hospital.
where he received the necessary med
ical aid. 1t was thought by some who
saw him that he was under the in
fiuence of intoxicants. Late last night
1t was learned from one of the hospit-
al attendants that the patient was de-
lirious, but that his condition was not
considered serious

AFTER CHEESE.
Eastern Buyers Are Making Co

Eastern Buyers Are Making Con.
tracts in Eastern Ohio.
During the past few weeks the farm
ers in Eastern Ohio have closed con-
tracts with representatives of Eastern
jobbing houses for certain qualities of
sweitzer cheese, the contracts extend
ing over a period ranging from six
months to two years.
The invasion of this section is due
to the fact that pasture in Wisconsin,
which State has furnished the great
supply of sweitzer, is very poor this
year, and as a result cattle do not pro-
duce much milk. New York jobbers
learned that an equally good quality
OF sweitZer cheese was made in the
Ohio valley, and their agents have
been on hand contracting for the pro-
duct for one year. The price paid is
said to be two and a helf cents per
pound more than the farmers have
been receiving for 1T.
Monroe county, Ohio, manufacturers
a quality of cheese that his an enviable
reputation in the market Limburger,
which is also made in this section, is
advancing in price, as we'll as sweitzer.
The output of Eastern Ohio will very
probably be the greatest in the his
tory of this section. Wholesale prices
are quoted at present as follows:
Sweitzer, 111a cents; 1imberger, 11h
cents

A Fish story.

Billy Gore, the track switchman at
the corner of Market and Sixteenth
streets, went down to Kenley's land
ing Sunday, playing very much Isaac
Walton, brought LONE quite a nice
string of the fnny TRIBE and distri-
buted them literally among his friends.
The largest fish he caught was a cat,
weighing 16 pounds, and also about a
dozen others. averaging from to s
pounds each. Mr.. Gore is willing to
challenge any person in the State de-
string to try to catch as many fish on
a trout line as he can, on a single
hook, for as many toad skins as they
wish to put up.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
Plans for Additional Manufacture.
at BeuVood

A force of men is at work on the
Wheeling Iron and Steel Company's
grounds at Benwood, changing the
tracks, evidently in order TO make
more room 1t is said that the boss
of the laborers OF the mill has ordered
his men TO commence next Monday the
work of tearing down the old nail fac
tory, and it is therefore surmised that
the company has decided to have their
proposed new tube works erected on
this site. II this is the case such an
extensive improvement at this manu-.
factory and the immense additions
which have been planned and are now
under course of construction in Up
per --enwood for the National Tube
company. will serve TO render the
Marshall county town one of the most
important Industrial places in the
country, where additional hundreds OF
men may find employment.

.I.L.HAWLEY INVESTS


Opinion OF the Property.
The Cataract-Jeurnal. published at
Magyar Falls, N. Y, published the fol-
lowing concerning prominent citizen
of Wheeling:
Investors who have placed their
money in Niagara Falls real estate are
highly pleased with the returns, and
in many instances are seeking to in
crease their holdings.
James L. Hawley .one Of the wealth
lest and most prominent business men
of Wheeling. w. Va. has just con-
cluded 10 days visit to this city, and
during that time he has been quietly
looking over the city with view OF
increasing his investments here. Three
years ago Mr.. Hawley invested SAC, 900
here, and it was for the purpose of
looking over his property that he came
some days ago. He was SO well pleas
ed with his investment that he has
tied up several choice pieces OF prop
erty, all of them being inside tracts
and right in the direction of the growth
of the city.
Mr.. Hawley is. a splendid judge of
real estate values, and the care with
which he invests is shown in the fact
that he has spent so much time here.
He is quoted as saying that he has
never seen a place which gave greater
opportunity for good investments in
real property than Niagara Falls. He
expects to return shortly and close up
the deals on the property he has select
ed.
Such men as Mr.. Hawley' are a bene-
fit to any community in which they are
interested. Niagara Falls people will
heartily welcome him to the city.

To the Driver Who Was ResponsfIIe
for the Death of Robt. ConweI.
The city and county authorities have
not yet secured any evidence tending
to establish the identity of the drivers
of the team that struck Robert Con-
well at the Wheeling Park gate, and
caused injuries which resulted in his
death.
Sheriff Richards is Of the opinion
that there are several people who
could furnish the names if they felt
so inclined, and he accounts for their
reluctance by the belief that there was
no vicious or criminal intent, and per-
sons who know the names of the driv-
ers feel disposed TO shield them as far
as possible.

With. the manifest enterprise and lib. erality of the citizens of that progress i've town, Naco cannot do otherwise than go to the front, and with such lib- erSl hearted men in the lead the town will continue to grow.
 Eaco is ip the throes of an evolution that has pitched the line city into the metropolitan category, From now, on two daily deliveries will supply the wants of the denizens of that thriving little city. Joe Curry, the local mer- chant, keeps his delivery wagon run ming constantly and the Copper Queen store of Bisbee, with it's custOmary-en terprise. psys tho same attention to that section as is accorded Bisbee.

Next Sunday Promises to Be Gala
 Day at the Line City.

Sunday, At Nsco, promises to be a national day--dos naciones-as two horse races are to come off in plain view of Presidents Mckinley and Diaz, upon the thoroughfare between two great republics. The first race will be between sherman Krump's gelding, Gold Standard, and Jim Biggs' Alley, Silver Tip. The original race is for $50 a side, but several hundred dol lars will change hands on the result as big outside wagers are being placed each day. Horsemen from the several sporting centers of the territory arv ex- pected to be spectators to witness the metal of two of the best broncho's on the Mexican border. Following the first heat will occur the most exciting horse race that has taken place since the bandits "shot up' Bisbee in the early sos and led the officers . lively chase across the Mule mountains. The two last horses are "unknowns," and are supposed to be "bloods" from the State of Sonora. The original wager is $400 side, and judging from the manner in which Sonoran's are won't to plank down their depreciated white dollars the smiio~ of alotro lado evidently know the speed of the pre-. ierred equines, and the blooded sport of Bisbee' patiently awaits "tip" from the jockey, whose colors have not been made known, and the public is in . quandary as to whether the race will be to the Heetest or the slowest.

Query OF the Silver Cause.
Butte Inter Mountain.)

The failure Of the Democrats In the
house Of representatives to introduce
a free coinage measure, ~ a substi-
tute for the Republican currency bill,
when anopportunity was given them
to do so. was the last straw on the
camel's back.
IL was a fitting climax to the long
months OF planning to let go the
paramount issue OF 1856.
Had IL been within the purpose OF
the Democratic party to accord to
silver Its proper treatment, a caucus
free coinage bill would have been
agreed upon and given the unani-
nous support OF that party when
the opportunity to go on record be-
fore the country presented itself.
Its failure 10 take such n step was
worse than a blunder- was n
crime.
The only %redeeming feature OF this
exhibition Of neglect was the uncov-
ering of the hypocrisy of the silver
~pretenslons Of that party.
IL was n most effectual case Of
unmasklng.
II the Democratic leaders In the
house Of representatives lack the
courage to defend the paramount is
u Of 1896, when II IL directly con-
cerned In a pending bin In congress,
what can be expected Of that party
when any other crisis arises In the
treatment Of silver?
When a silver congressman, from
n silver state. deserts his post of
duty, refusing to face the currency
bill OF the Republican party, when 1t
challenges its opponents to battle,
what sensible Silver Republican can
foresee any hope for the white metal
in the assumed friendship Of the
Democracy?
II eastern Democrats would not
prepare a free coinage bill why did
not Representative Campbell of
Montana attend to that duty, and
pledge his colleagues to It's support.
Why did not Col. Bryan, andChair
man Towne, and Sourdough Hart
