ELSIE GRAY DEAD.
A Well Known Character Breathed
His Last Yesterday Afternoon.

A Well Known Character Breathed
His Last Yesterday Afternoon.
Elsie Gray died about $50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, at the home of
Bessie Franklin, in alley IS, aged be-
tween 80 and 80 years. A few days ago
Emma Hill, a woman of the town with
whom he was intimate for five or six
years, was buried from the same place.
| Although he was generally regarded as
p possessing vicious disposition. his
heart was not altogether callous, for he
cried bitterly after her death, and re-
fused to be consoled. On the day of the
funeral he took sick, and the physician
| diagnosed his disease as typhoid pneu-
monia. Just before his death, he Ieaped
out Of bed and ran to the door, but
was <orced back into bed, where he ex-
! pired within few minutes. Grief over
the death of Emma Hill undoubtedly
hastened the end.
GrayS career should be an example
to young men who associate with evil
companions. Each step he took was
lower than that which preceded it, until
he came to be regarded as a man re-
Quiring constant police surveillance.
He served a term in the Moundsville
penitentiary for fleeing stranger out
of money by representing himself to be
an attorney. After completing his SEN
tence he came back to Wheeling, and
he has figured in dozens of more or less
serious crimes. His almost invariable
escape from punishment for his numer-
GUS offenses, has been subject of COM
ment by his associates and the public
generally. No criminal in the history
of Wheeling, perhaps, has been as for
| tunate in this respect. His offenses
were principally misdemeanors, al
though he has more than once been ar
raigned for felonies. He has figured in
number of shooting scrapes and in
Vulnerable fights.
Gray. was not naturally vicious, and
those who knew him say that he was
liberal and warm hearted. Mr.. Herman
Snyder has cause to remember him
with feelings of gratitude. Mr.. Sny-
der's daughter, little tot, was playing
on the Hempfeld railroad track near
the postoffice one day last summer,
when train approached. In few sec
onds it would have crushed the life out
of the child. Gray jumped in front OF
the engine at the risk of his own life,
snatched the child in his arms, and
cleared the rail not second too late.

that body had adjourned.
Liquor Licenses.
The Committee on Petitions and Re-
monstrances recommended that license
be granted to VIM. O. Walker, Gar,
Hinkleman and Bauer & Lewis; and
that the application of Mrs. Mary Kievis
be laid on the table Indefinitely. The
Second Branch decided to take the ap-
plications up separately.
License was granted to Carl Hinkle-
man on South Market street
Bauer & Lewis application was taken
up. Upon an aye and no vote, it was
granted-14 to IL.
The license of VIM. Knoke at 35l7
Jacob street, was transferred to Bernard
Quigley.
DIR. Plant moved to lay the appl:-
cation of VIM. O. Walker on the table
Indefinitely. Mr.. Maurer moved to
amend to grant the license. The amend
ment was defeated, Is to 8, and the or
iginal motion was carried, Is to Z. DE-.
Plant was asked before the motion was
put, to state his objections. He sad
Walker had permitted white women to
cohabit with negro men on his prem
ises, and Walker had admitted it.
Walker served term in the workhouse
here, and is said to have been compelled
to leave Steubenville.
An interesting colloquy took place
between DR.. Plant and Mr.. Maurer, who
champiOned the cause of Walker. The
Kleves resolution was adopted.
In the First Branch 1t was ruled that
the laying of the Walker application
on the table carried with it the entire
report, and that it was not properly
before the First Branch. The impress
sion prevailed in the Second Branch
that the upper body was laboring I'M
der a Misrepresentation of facts. Pres
ident Shafer asked Solicitor Coniff for
an opinion.
Mr. Coniff said it was not obligatory
to consider the report as whole. The
branch could consider the applications
separately.
Mr. Hazlett was sent TO the First
Branch TO explain the point involved.
The First Branch position was that the
laying of one application on the table
carried all with it. and was so stated
by Mr.. Hazlett.
Upon motion of Or. Plant the Sec
ond Branch reconsidered its action on
the Walker application. He then NOV
ed to reject it, and the motion carried,
16 to 8.
The Scheme Killed.
There was a scheme on foot to have
Council adopt a resolution directing
the manner in which the funds for
street paving and like Improvements
shall be made this year. Mr.. Shafer
was said to be the father of a reselu-
ton providing that the amounts nam
ed be appropriated for the different
wards as follows:
