The local fans" who have interest
ed themselves in the plan for the or
~ganization a new Interstate baseball
league, to embrace Ohio, PENNSYLVANIA
and West Virginia cities, was some
what discouraged yesterday over the
receipt by Sheriff w. w. Irwin Of
a telegram from c. B. Powers; of
Pittsburg, stating that he would not
have the time to devote to organic
ing the proposed league. MI. Pow
ers is busy with his newspaper work,
and in addition is undertood to be
rather dubious as to the fate of
such a league as it is proposed to or
ganize.
With Power at the head of the
movement there might be some
chance of its success. Without him,
and the prestige which his name
would give to the movement, the
scheme is dead. 1t looks like Wheel
ing will not have a professional club
during the coming summer.
The purchasers of the grand stand,
fences and other improvements to the
old ball park was at work yesterday
razing the buildings preparatory to re-
moving the lumber for use elsewhere.

Coal Deal,

Coal Deal.
AS has been stated there has been
much disappointment over the failure
of the Empire Coal and Mining Com
pany to pay pay for their options at
the time they named. Theodore Neff
yesterday received a telegram from
the company saying that the money
Is ready and on hand. While some
say the company will not buy this
block. Others still think that it will
be taken just as soon as all the titles
have been cleared. But from a rea-
enable standpoint, and as all the men
of this company are good business
men and have spent considerable
money s. far, why would they do so
if they did not mean business, and
again when one takes into consider
alton the amount of money to be paid
out, almost a million, can they won
der that this company exercises great
care in regard to the deeds they will
receive. 1t is hoped that the deal
will oon be closed, as it means much
to this part of the county. The date
for the payment is expected in the
lear future.

April 10th has been set as the day
for a rehearing of the evidence for
a bridge across the river here.
The war department has ordered that
the promoters submit their evidence
before the government engineers at
Pittsburg, and have dispensed with
the advertiing of same. The company
do not think they should be CON-
PEELED to build an S00-foot span when
the governments own work, where
dams are being built. leave only a
channel OF 500 feet. The promoters
have also some other valuable evil
dence which they will submit at this
meeting. The people of this city
want the bridge, and give their hearty
support
