WEIISVDLLE, o., February rs.
r. Bell, of 1877 Main street, Wheeling,
presented a petition to the Council of
Wellsville this evening, which asked
that property upon which the city hall
now stands revert to the heirs on Will
liam Wells, deceased, as the conditions
of the will have been violated. The
members of council treated the mat
ter with surprising GOODNESS, although
the deed made to the city of Wellsville
by Mr.. Wells, reads that for the love
he possessed for the town he presented
to the then village of Wellsville, a
tract of land for market house pur-
poses, and that if the ground is used
for any other purpose than that of a
market place, the property shall revert
to the heirs.
The city erected a pressed brick hall
on this site, several years ago, at a
cost of $25, 900. The petition asks that
an account be given of all the rents
derived from the same.
Mr.. Bell stated it is possible that the
heirs may ask redress from the city
for the misrepresentation of the pro-
perty presented in the deed. The heirs
have complied with all the conditions
of the will which was made in 1872.

Wreck Train Finishes Job.
Special to the Register.
kEYSER. w. Va, February 3.-Early
yesterday morning a wreck, made
doubly disastrous by the peculiar do
lngs OF the wrecking train which had
gone to relieve the wreck, occurred on
the seventeen mile grade of the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad fifteen miles
from here. A young man, his father
and a shotgun also figured in the
misadventure in a strikingly interest
ing manner. A heavily loaded freight
train, coming down the grade, jump
ed the track, smashing to pieces ten
cars, M of which dashed against and
almost through the house of a noun
taineer alongside the track. Believing
hat burglars were unceremoniously
attempting to enter their u~nasSuming
home, the father and young man of
the house jumped from their beds and
clad only in their night robes, rushed
out into the yard armed with the most
formidable looking guns to defend
their mountain domicile. Seeing the
badly smashed UP cars and the excited
train crew, warlike demonstrations
were ceased and after dressing them
selves the mountain men assisted the
railroaders in clearing the results of
the wreck. The wrecking train was
sent from Cumberland and after get
ting the wreck Strengthened out, got
beyond control while switching above
the wrecked train, and ran down
against it, smashing several other cars.
In all ten cars were demolished and
traffic was interrupted for several
hours.

Plans for 81 New state Test in Con-
necticut.
New York Evening Post.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, January 26.-The
Connecticut Agricultural Experimental
Station will this year undertake on a
larger scale the experiment of raising
Sumatra tobacco under shade on the State
grounds at Poquonnoc, Conn. In the COM
ing experiment a full acre will be planted
and covered with cheesecloth, instead of
a third of an acre, as last year. A spe-
cial contract has been given at a mill in
Fall River, Mass, for weaving cheese
cloth twelve feet wide, sofas to diminish
seams. The posts and cross Stats will be
taken from the woods, as would be done
by a tobacco farmer, so as to afford a
more natural test of expense. In other
respects the conditions of the experiment
will be the same as last year. Reports to
the station show that many tobacco
farmers will try raising Sumatra tobacco
this year, most of them on a small and
tentative scale.
Figures compiled by a tobacco grower,
who will try the experiment on a quarter
acre at Hartford, Conn, show that the
total cost of building a quarter acre tent
and fertilizing the ground is about $120,
including labor.

The suspension of the West Virginia
Stats Zeitung is a matter of general
regret, especially among the older Ger
man citizens of Wheeling, who have
been accustomed to a newspaper print
ed in their native tongue. The fail
ure of the Stats Zeitung is in no sense
the fault of its editor and proprietor,
Mr.. Louis Colmar, who has always
stood deservedly high in the COM
munity. He is simply the victim of
natural conditions and the gradual,
inevitable elimination of the old time
German, who chung to the tongue of
the fatherland, but whose children of
the present generation naturally pre-
fer the press printed in English
their native tongue.

PROMISE OF MORE ELECTRICAL
WONDERS.

Nikola Tesla has a rival in the
field of electricity in Prof. A. Slaby,
OF Berlin, who claims to have invented
m%ultiplex wireless biography, by
which it will be possible to apply the
principle to submarine cables in such
a way that hundreds and even thous-
ands of messages can be sent stimuli
~taneously over the same wire, and that
in consequence very low rates can be
made.
If this can be done under the sea it
ought also to be done on land. And
if this is true it is plain to be seen
that the bulk of the wires between
principal commercial points may be
dispensed with.
AS this invention would effect a ire
mendous saving to telegraph companies
it is altogether probable that the new
invention will be introduced as soon
as it is perfected and not suppressed
as have been other inventions that
would revolutionize present methods
and effect vast saving to the people
but without corresponding profits. or
at the expense of reduced dividends
to the stockholders of existing con-
Germs.
Prof. Slaby's discovery also might
be applied to telephony with a
corresponding saving. while it would
enectually dispose of the overhead tel
ephone and telegraph wires and poles.
Slaby is a more useful genius than
Tesla, If not SO ambitious, and the
sooner he can perfect his inventions
the better for humanity.

TO DOWN

Ever since King Richard Croker, OF
Tammany promised 1OO. 900 majority
for Mr.. Bryan and returned but a pal
try $4,000 in a total city vote of 461,-
600, Democrats have discounted the
Tammany boss in proportion and the
opposition to Tammany in Greater
New York has rapidly grown. The
election for Mayor will be held next
November and it is probable that an
independent anti-Tammany ticket will
be placed in the field and that no Re
publican ticket will be nominated.
1t is altogether possible that the
aantis' may underestimate the
sz1sass<th ot t etahFart Tammanyites.
Rtf the reNdlx pS Fork III

along been suspected Of having an
understanding with Croker by which
each was left supreme in his own ter
ritory, Platt in the State and Croker
in the city. However this may be. it
is said the city Republicans are will
ing to support an anti Tammany DEM
ocrat for mayor and John D. Grim
minis, a Democratic leader of promi-
nence and high character, is suggest
ed to lead the revolt as the m~ayoralty
candidate, a Republican to be placed
on the ticket with him for comptroller.
This is the talk up to date. and IT is
quite possible that some coalition be
tween the Republicans and anti-Tam-
many Democrats may be effected.
But the Democrats should go very
slow in this matter.
While Tammany rule is not the best
or purest in the world by long odds,
neither is it the worst. Chicago and
Philadelphia, the latter the banner Re-
publican city, are both infinitely worse
governed.
But there is another and a highly
important point, which New York
Democrats should keep well in mind.
If the magnificent organization OF
Tammany is once broken, New York
is as good as lost to the Democracy
in State and National elections.
With this alternative and all that it
means in view, supplemented by the
fact that the defeat of Boss Croker
would simply mean the ascendency Of
the equally or still more obnoxious
Boss Plat in tire city as we'll as the
State, New York Democrats would do
well to seriously ask themselves if it
is not better to endure the ills they
have than fly to others that are like
ly to be a great deal worse.

THE WORST YET.

A map of the new congressional dis
tricts of West Virginia as just gerry
wandered by the Legislature is a sight
for the gods. a weather map, show
ing the involved and intricate courses
of air currents, or a South African war
map, indicating the wild-goose chases
on which the Beers have led the Eng
lish, or a photograph of freak light
ming in a midsummer storm are
among the things that will bear COM
parison with the congressional dis
trict map of West Virginia after the
able efforts of the boss political car
vers.
We recall the howl over the last re-
apportionment by the Democrats, but
the Congressional districts under that
arrangement were compactness and
solidity itself compared to the shoe
string, leg-of-mutton and circumben-
dibus affairs this gerrymander makes
of the political divisions.
The Fourth and Fifth districts are
not so bad geographically but they
make up for it in outrageous dis
parity of population, the Fifth having
over 10000 of population in excess of
the Fourth. But their Republican
majorities, as figured on the basis of
the late returns, are about even, the
Fourth showing 3,514 and the Fifth
1858, and this was the only point the
political carvers had in mind and ac-
counts for everything.
For the other districts, the work is a
geographical curio, especially as re-
CARDS the First, which is shaped like
unto nothing on earth SO much as a Sec
ton of shoe-string, or a potato peel
ing pared with a rusty knife.
Necessarily elongated in the pan-han-
die section, it is still further drawn
out where there is no excuse for it in
the body of the State, reaching in a
long crooked streak from Hancock
down to and including Lewis, near the
centre of the State. Some idea of its
peculiar shape may be gained from
the fact that it is about 120 miles long
and nowhere over say thirty miles
wide. Suffice it to say that this First
district probably has no counterpart
on any other political map. 1t is orig
inal and unique, a thing fearful and
wonderful to behold and stands out,
or, rather, is strung out, as a monu-
ment to the ingenuity of tn politicians
who, despite geography and popula-
ton. were looking only to an equal dis
tribution of majorities, and were deter
mined to snake out of the situation five
solid Republican districts, regardless
of the law providing that the districts
shall be compact and as nearly as pos
sible equal in population. AS a con-
scienceless gerrymander the effort
takes the first prize.

ANOTHER SAMPLE OF RING HI

nv ~ ufLL VI KING RULE,
The beauties of Republican machine
government are exemplified in the
mares nest unearthed in Kanawha
county, where the politicians reduced
the decennial assessment on such large
property owners as agreed to give
them a sum equal to that saved
through the reduction in one year. OF
course the burden of this rascality
would fall or the other property own
ers who must make up the difference.
The people of Ohio county can con-
dole with their brethren of Kanawha.
Both are sufferers from Republican
ring rule and both have felt the able
hand of the manipulation in the late
decennial revaluation.
One of these days it may occur to the
good people of Kanawha and some
ether counties similarly afflicted that
it does not pay to keep the ringsters
in office.
