Interesting Social Session.
An unusually large number OF Work
men attended a pleasant social session
at the A. o. U. w. Temple last even
ing. Many visitors were present and
were Hospitality treated by the members
of No. %. Mr.. Frank Stanton grace
fully presided as toast master and his
witty references to the several speak
ers and singers were hugely enjoyed
DR.. G. "A. Aschmann was the first
speaker. His speech was full of point
ed anecdotes charmingly told, the story
OF the J. A. ten dollar bill being partic-
ularly good. He was followed by Mr..
H. M. Mcguire, whose excellent voice
was heard to advantage in Naples
Mr. NJ. ]. O'Neill disclaimed any
pretentions to oratory, yet made a
reputation as a graceful talker in a
short but spicy speech. Mr.. w. B.
Day, whose singing is too we'll known
to Wheeling people to need comment,
sang to Prof Shockey's accompani-
ment, BOLD Uhlau." The members of
the lodge, being lovers of good music,
demanded an encore and Mr. Day sang
''Dreamers in Paradise" Mr.. o. S.
Brilles was the next and last perform
er. He read an original poem entitled
Good Fellowship" and it was full of
personal illusions to prominent mem
bers of the lodge. After another song
light refreshments were served and
cards and cigars helped to finish out
the evening. Those who neither play
ed nor smoked formed congenial little
groups and pleasant hour was spent
in conversation. 1t was near midnight
when the function came to an end, all
expressing themselves as delighted with
the evenings entertainment.

Is still Being Talked About-A Very
Attractive Oner Made to a First
Branch Member.
The report of an attempt to buy a
member of the First Branch to resign
his seat, has been COMPOUNDED with the
former reports of bribery. This at
tempt, however, is alleged to have
been made within two weeks It is
said that the First Branch member
was offered $500 to resign, with the
additional condition that If prosecu-
tons follow, he will receive four times
his present salary for all the time that
he may spend in JAIL
The information comes from a Re
publican who is in position to know
whereof he speaks. The suggestion
has been made that the anxiety of the
Republicans to get control of Council,
has motive deeper and graver than
mere political advantage or continued
possession of municipal Offices.
In this connection, some Repulbi-
cans are intimating that If Council
ever goes into another election their
strength will be augmented by one,
and the strength of the allies cores

WATER BOARD KEY
Will Work in the Eighth Ward To-
Day-Over Six Hundred Deltn-
uueuf SubScribers.


ouent Subscribers.
Secretary Ross 7. Chew and his as
sistants have compiled a list of the de-
linouent water subscribers in the
Eighth ward. and the result is amaZ-
ing. The number who have not paid
their water rents, and who will be
compelled to do so. or accept the alter
native of having their water supply
cut off, is more than six hundred.
When the number on the Island was
given as nearly 400. it appeared incred-
fble to most citizens, Iout the Eighth
makes a worse showing than any other
ward in the city
The condition of affairs is said to be
particularly bad in the Second ward,
and that section will be next to re-
ceive the attention of the Water Board
officials. The street gangs are still at
work on the Island, and those who have
not paid or made satisfactory arrange
ments for settling their delinquent
accounts, are without water. The num-
Der is comparatively small.
Secretary Chew stated last night that
the street gangs, armed with keys, and
with instructions to cut off the water
supply, will make a descent upon the
Eighth ward to-day. Subscribers are
reminded that the charge for turning
off the water is fifty cents, and a like
charge is made for turning it on again.
When excavations are necessary. the
subscribers are charged for the time
spent in this work.
One Island subscriber, who got very
gay when a member of the Water
Board force undertook to turn off the
water, came to time later. and in addi-
ton to settling his old bill. paid over
six dollars for the work Of turning
| the water on and on. It is estimated
that the gang engaged in this work
win more than earn their salaries
