The little town OF Shadyside, below
this city. is enjoying a building boom
at present and at least thirty buildings
are under progress of construction and
were the facilities for reaching this
town better there is but little doubt but
that its growth in buildings and popu-
lation would be more rapid. But not
withstaning this it has nearly doubled
its size in the past two years. This Is
no doubt do to the desirable location of
the town on Pultneys Bottom, one OF
the most beautiful piece of bottom
land along the Ohio river and Is almost
entirely above the high water line.
Among the houses beng built are 20
for the Morgan Coal Company, and
should the proposed new window glass
factory to be located there mature, next
summer will see another boom there,
which will no doubt give the town a
sufficient population to become incorpo-
rated. This again brings TO the front
the question OF the name. Many per
sons in the town and in this city main
tain that the old name of Pultney
should be given the town as the Shady
side of to-day embraces the site of the
old town of Pultney.
This town of Pultney was so named
by Judge Mulhearn and along in the
seventeenth century was one of the few
towns along the Ohio river and was the
first town laid out in Belmont county
OF which II was the county seat for
years. In his diary and notes, George
Washington mentions Puitney several
times There are but two other towns
so far as known, that are named this.
The Wheeling Traction Company did
offer to extend their line through Sha-
dyside. but the quality Of the rail to be
used was not satisfactory to the people
aud the proposition was turned down.
The matter should now be taken up and
pushed as this would give a desirable
residence section for those that wish
to get away from this noisy and crowd
ed town.

the Federation of Labor, and of which
Mr.. Samuel Gompers is editor, to-day
prints replies from number of promi-
nent labor organization advocates in
Great Britain to an inquiry from Mr..
Gompers as to whether it is true that
England's industries are seeking other
fields, and, If SO, whether this is the
fault of the trades unions. The replies
are all negative as to the influence of
the unions. Mr. George H. Barnes gen
eral secretary of the Amalgamated So
ciety of Engineers, Manchester, Eng
land, says that Those industries which
are best organized on the workmen's
side are the most prosperous industries
of the country. The shipbuilding, engi-
neering, coal getting and cotton spin
ming, are all welh organized industries
and were never so prosperous; whereas.
on the other hand, the heavy textile IN
dustries, shoemaking and several other
industries that might be mentioned, and
which are but Indifferent organized on
the side Of the work people, are dwnd-

ditnr of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I see we are to have no new
paving this year as a result of the mud
die up at the City Hall. Is there no
way out of this unfortunate state of
affairs? Many unimproved streets, in
various portions of the city, are greatly
in need of paving. and this is particu-
larly true of the Seventh and Eighth
wards, where the residents and tax
payers have certainly put up with mud
long enough. | recently went through
the Eighth. passing street after street,
running east and west, with no I'M
provements whatever. That 1000 of
ten-cent money would have done lot
of good, and besides would have given
employment to many workingmen. 1t
is an open question whether mis- years
collections can be applied to work next
year, for | have heard it argued both
ways. | ask again, is there no rem
edy? RESIDENT.

low as Toe per dozen for good article,
and corn was quoted at the same price
Potatoes were only in moderate supply,
and the price is still so high that sales
are very much restricted on that ae-
count. Melons were plentiful and of
good quality. Plums were somewhat
more plentiful than at the middle of the
past week. General green stuff was in
large supply, and the demand was fair,
at about the usual prices. Poultry is
still high, with a naturally restricted
demand
Other prices were:
