The Wheeling Gun club is to have
q handsome club house on their newly
acquired site. Several months ago it
was decided to abandon their quarters
on the Island owing to the fact that
they were cramped for room, and that
the location for shooting is a bad one
Most of the members were only able to
get out for practice in the afternoon
and the glare of the sun on the water
of the back river made good shooting
almost impossible. The club, too, has
grown so large that the small club
house located there is impracticable.
The new site chosen for the club is
an ideal one. Through G. 0. Smith.
one of the members, they have secured
a three years lease on the Goshorn
property on the National road, oppo-
site Greenwood cemetery. The land
about where the club house will stand
is thickly wooded and in the summer a
perfect glen. The new club house will
be big and roomy. 1t was designed
by Mr. Hollenbeck, who is the inventor
of the new gun which will be manu-
featured here. The house will be mod
ern in every way. 1t will be large
enough to allow every one of the men,
bers to have locker for gun and
shooting clothes. 1t will cost about
$780,
The shooting grounds will be out
towards the hill. There is plenty of
clear ground in that direction Here
the traps will be located. The guns
will be shot towards the hill This hill
will furnish an excellent back ground
making favorable condition no matter
what the position of the sun is.
BY locating the club out the pike
number Of new members will be secur-
ed. There are quite a number of
sportsmen living in the suburbs who
would have been members long ago
had the shooting grounds been more
conveniently located.

Agreement
Reached
IsriIEeS.
River

If the present plans go through, the
proposed changes to be made in the re-
construction Of certain bridges cross
ing the Ohio river will be on such a
basis as to be approved by the entire
river interests. Maj. w. H. Bixby, the
engineer in charge of the Ohio river,
it is said, has practically agreed to
allow the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
to reconstruct the Parkersburg bridge
with channel space 600 feet in width
by the bridge company removing one
pier.
The proposed new bridge at Marietta
will have a channel space of $50 feet
over the main channel and 900 feet
over the back channel. The main chan
mel is not much over $50 feet in width.
In the matter of reconstructing the
bridge at Beliaire, one pier will be re-
moved, which will give steamboats, a
space of 525 feet, instead of about 300
feet, as at present For the proposed
new Bellaire bridge, the coal men de-
man channel space of 800 feet in
width while the bridge people want
to make it $50 feet. There may be a
compromise on 700 feet
The Panhandle railroad bridge is al
SO to be realtered by the railroad COM
pany removing the shore pier, making
one span instead of two, and giving the
channel clear space OF 500 feet in
stead of 300. This meets with the ap-
prevail of the rivermen.

The Aged Gardener Mt Mt. de Cham

cident Yesterday.
Yesterday morning Thomas Downs,
aged about sixty, who has been en-
ployed as gardner at Mt de Chantal
for the past thirty years or more, met
with quite severe accident and as a
result will be confined to his home
for some time. Mr. Downs was out with
a large roller and team of horses
rolling the lawn, when the horses, be-
coming frightened, knocked him down
and the heavy roller passed completely
over him. He was removed to his
home nearby and while the injuries
are not of fatal nature, they are
very serious and painful He is we'll
