Prof. T. d. Zacharis, who is profess
sor of applied science at the college of
Athens, Greece. is studious, retiring
man. whose long beard, flowing over
his breast, make him look older than
he really is.
He arrived here on Tuesday on the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and went TO
the Gilsey House. After registering he
went out alone to see the city After a
stroll down Broadway he went to the
Savoy Music Hall.
There was music inside. people were
walking in and out and the sound Of
laughter came from the open windows.
He was lonely and went in to get a
glass of beer and hear the music. After
a little a pretty girl came over and sat
down at the same table.
She permitted him to buy her a drink
though she blushed prettily at his au-
dacity He bought her several drinks.
She became laxative and eventually in
trodueed several of her girl friends to
him. They were all jolly, friendly girls,
and rather SHY and retiring, he after

After he had spent all the money he
thought he could afford, he arose and,
tipping his broad hat TO them in most
gallant manner. said Good night,
and went home.

TO ussFy GREATER WHEELING.

Wheeling has gotten out of the cd
rut never to fall back again. We have
gotten en- our seven league boots and
they fit like a glove Greater Wheel
ing is already within easy hail. The
brightest minds in the business COM
raunity have been reused to the needs
and tremendous possibilities of munie-
ipal and industrial growth and are
actively engaged in pushing the greater
Panhandle city in every direction.
One of the latest suggestions in con-
nection with the annexation of the
: districts in the Wheeling Greek valley
is the revival of the project to tunnel
Wheeling hill so as to cut off the long
journey around or over it and place
the city in direct connection with Full
ton and our other suburbs along the
National road.
Two surveys and estimates for tun-
nels. one beginning at the level of
Market street on Ninth and the other
. on Tenth at the intersection with al
ley c. We're made seven years ago by
capable engineer, LIT the project was
never pushed.
This short cut would bring Wheeling
in direct contact with Fulton and the
creek valley and save at least a miles
tourney around the hill. say. from
Tenth street. The estimated cost Of
the tunnel, which would include a
double roadway and street car tracks,
sidewalks and lighting by electricity,
was from $4,000 10 100000. a small
item compared to tie advantages it
would bring by making the city di-
rectly accessible to the population and
shoppers "out the pike"
As supplement to the Register
plan for Greater Wheeling the revival
OF this scheme at this time is most oo-

MHEELING,s INDUsTRIAL BOoM.

While Greater Wheeling is hustling
for new industries. our neighbors
over the river are reaping their share
of the benefit in substantial fashion-a
matter for congratulation not OILY to
our neighbors but to Wheeliag-for the
..Wheeling district" includes all this
section of the Ohio Valley and IS viz
tually Wheeling on both SIDES OF tie
river.
It is reported that the American Tin
Plate Company has decided 20 remove

ployes to return to work after tho re-
cent Amalgamated strike had been de-
elared off.
1t is quite as likely. however. that
the American Tin Plate Company, or
rather, the United States Steel Corpor-
alton, which has some of the shrewdest
industrial heads in the country behind
it. has recognized the superior adj
vantages of the Wheeling district rs
manufacturing site in the matter Of
room, cheapness of land, ease of ac-
cess to raw material and abundance
of shipping facilities, both rail and
water, and has wisely decided to pull
up stakes and drop down the river to
the new industrial center oe the upper
Ohio Valley, which now has more
room and offers more facilities to
great Industries than Pittsburg ever
did
The industrial world has its keen
eye on Greater Wheeling and Greater

ours and vice versa.

THOUGHT IT WAS A DOG.

Mcdowell Recorder.
Over in the neighborhood OF Bear
town, in this county, on the new lager
e. Southern railroad, now under course
of construction. the woods are full Of
black bears. and many are the pigs,
dogs and even young calves that have
been falling victims to their voracious
appetites. A few nights ago one Jim
Sans, sable son of Ham, was wend-
ing his way shatyward about 10 o'clock
in the night. When, upon the grade
in the dark he ran upon what he sup
posed at the time was a big shaggy
black dog, and, as the dog seemed dis
posed to dispute the right of way, the
colored man whipped out 80 calibre
pistol and took shot at the animal at
close range. With a grunt the SEEM
ing dog shambled off in hurry and
Sam went to his quarters, where he re-
cited his adventure to his shackmates,
saying, in conclusion. that mo mans
dog could run over him." The follow
U u IN,
tep was passing by the place with his
team and within fifty yards of where
the shot was fired his team was af-
frighted by coming across the dead
body of big black bear. The single
shot of the darkey had perforated the
bears anatomy at the only vulnerable
point for SO small gun-just behind
the shoulder, and had passed through
its heart.
The colored man Is the hero of the
field up there now. but our informant
says that the cGlored people are
scrupulously careful not to get far
from their shacks in the dark
Sam did not even get the hide of the
animal, as it was skinned and taken in
charge by white man in the neighbor-
hood without objection; and even he
rich, luscious meat of the animal, which
was only yearling, was permitted to
be devoured by the dogs of the neigh
borhood.

From Harrisburg to Philadelphia on

government of Pennsylvania. State and

ruption.
This accusation is not made by the
/ political enemies of the party in pow
| er alone, else it might be taken with
some grains of allowance during a po-
| litical campaign. The charge is OPP
! emily brought by Republicans and Re-
publican newspapers in good standing
in their party. For example, the Phil
adelphia Press. the leading Republican
ago published Harrisburg dispatch
accusing Justice Potter. of the SUI
preme Court of having made improper
| disclosure to Governor Stone of the
impending action of the Court with re-
ference to the contested constitution
atty of the Pittsburg ripper" legisla-
ter both denied the truthfulness of the
publication. out the charge was reit-
Grated by the Press and its verify
measureably confirmed by the subse-
quent decision of the Court.
Now the Press republishes its dis
patch of last spring with further par
ticulars tending to confirm its charges.
This evidence is damning. 1t is ap-
parent, as the Philadelphia Record
says, that such collision between the
executive and judicial departments of
tie State governiaart could only exist
a. result of me betrayal of the most
sacred trust. If the allegations OF the
Pfss be true Governor Stone and JUS
tito Potter are unfit for the high oy-
fees they hoi1. Were the orsaniza-
ton of the Republican party in the
control of honorable and self-respect-
ing men they would insist upon inn
mediate disproof, or. failing that. upon
the immediate withdrawal of Justice
Potter from his place on the Republic
can State ticket. It is to the last de-
gree Infamous that the executive. leg
islative and judicial authorities of the
State should all have been dragged in
to the mire in order to minister to the
ambition of discredited leadership
and to the greed of political harpies
and adventurers who override alike the
laws of God and man to compass their
ends. Unless the people of Pcnnsvl-
vania have themselves gone mad thoy
will take their November opportunity
to revenge themselves upon their
coarse and impudent betrayers''
But the people of Pennsylvania have
gotten so used to rottenness and COR
ruption in their public affairs and TO
being robbed by political thugs and
bandits that they seem to look upon
it as a necessary evil that must be put
up with. At least they have made no
effective effort to turn the rascals out
since the election of Robert e. Patti
son, Democrat, to the governorship
Since then Pennsylvania has not had
an honest State administration, and
probably never will until the Quay
gang is turned out by the election Of
another Democratic governor.
