THE FIRES LIGHTED.

Whatever the basis of settlement OF
the great steel strike agreed upon by
President Shaffer of the Amalgamated
Association and President Schwab Of
the U. S. Steel Corporation the result
is a matter for sincerest and hearth
est eongratulation.
Both capital and the labor involved
early recognized the folly of this strug-
gle and both have been anxious for
settlement and ready TO make con-
cessions to bring it about.
President Schwab has conceded the
right of the labor organization to hold
the mills II has and to recruit its ranks
where ii can. while the Amalsamated
Association abandons its contention
Tor the signing of the scale for mills
now non-union,
II appears to be a fair compromise
In which the officials of the Amalga-
mated Association are to be congratula-
led on their conservatism throughout
ind their efforts to reach a peaceful
,ettlement by compromise-for they
ave conceded more points in the con-
.roversy than the trust. They have
llso done their best to preserve order
Ind maintain respect for law and with
me or two isolated exceptions have
n.cceeded. There never has been so
extensive a strike with less lawleas-
rpss and violence.
If the Amalgameted Association
loses a point or two in the controversy
they at least come out way ahead in
the respect of the country,

Tribute to Mr.. w. T.. Curran.
To-day at one o'clock the Office force
at Amalgamated headquarters in Ben
wood will be ready TO pay out the bene-
fits for Wheeling Lodge No. ). The
force worked nart yesterday ami last
evening getting the envelopes ready
and as soon as the bank is opened this
morning the money will be put into
the envelopes and given out to those
entitled to receive it.
Now that the strike has been settled
the boys are anxious to know when
the mills will start. They conducted
a clean fight at Benwood and there
has not been a single instance of any
disorder or unbecoming conduct by
any Of the Amalgamated Association
men. The headquarters at Blue Rib
bon hall have been open at all times
to any person desiring to see any of
the local officials. The membership of
Wheeling No. has increased to nearly
700 and they all have the utmost con-
fidence in the ability of the national
and district officials of the Associa-
ton.
In connection with the above. the
following extract from a letter by
member Of Wheeling Lodge No. 5 to
the Amalgamated Journal, will be in
teresting to the people of Benwood and
vicinity:

The old Aetna-Standard mill at Mar
tins Ferry and Bridgeport will probably
resume work tomorrow. The other mills
of.the Aetna plant will start Just as soon
as they are in condition to do so. which
will not be for several days yet. The man.
agement had thought it could be done
sooner. but found 1t cannot.
The Laughlin tin mills in the old plant
VIII probably resume operations on Wed
nesday next, but the new mills are not
ready.
The terms of the settlement of the strike
seem to be a mystery and no one that can
do so seems willing to throw any light on
the subject. Many of the milworkers
have pronounced opinions on the subject
but all unite in saying that Mr.. Shaffer
has done all they could expect him to and
none have a harsh word for him.
The mills will soon be running and bus
mess will brighten up and be as formerly
The men Will be at work and Will work
together, IL union. The Amalgamatlon is
still busy and feel that in the future vic
tory awaits them.

1ATIoNAL GUARD ENCAMPMENT.

To-day the brigade of the West Vir-
ginia National Guard will be in camp
at Woodsdale and a picturesque and
interesting sight this camp will be. 1t
will be formally opened, the military
work of the guard begun in earnest
and the boys given taste of real sol
der life for the next ten days.
This attraction and military parades
which are the real thing" will draw
large number of visitors to Wheeling
other than those accompanying the
twelve hundred soldiers. The eXer-
cises will be worth coming long dis
lance to see. There will be social and
ether functions on large scale, on sew
eral days and Governors day on Satur-
day all of which will be interesting
and lively. 1t is expected that the
whole brigade will make an appropriate
and impressive military demonstration
on the day of President Mckinley s
funeral.
In fact, it will be ten days of mill
tarism of the kind that everybody will
enjoy.

MRS. LEASURE'S ASSAILANT
Was Dick Beamun, Ex-Convict and
Burglar.


1t has been learned that the guard
or person at the penitentiary who an
swered the telephone inquiry of the
Register as to the name of the colored
man discharged from the penitentiary
on the 10Th ultimo, was slightly
in error, and excusably so, as it was
late at night when the inquiry was
made and the books were not accessi-
Bile to the guard. The negro dis
charged from the pen on that date is
Dick Beamun, and he is now in Jail
for the assault of Mrs. Leasure in
North Wheeling suburb. Beamun was
sent down from Fayette county for
burglary to serve a four year sen,
tence, and completed his term on the
10Th ultimo,
1t is likely that his next sentence will
be of character to put a quietus on
his criminal propensities.
