RETURN IS Only BEGINNING
COMMITTEE OF ONE
HUNDRED.
ANY ATTEMPT TO COUNT OUT
They Say VIII he StubbOrnly Fought
by the Minfsters-Rum0 of a Re-
count for One Particular Office.
Interviews With the Reverends r..
r.. Bigger and c. e. Clark.

Speaking Of the municipal election,
the Rev R. r. Bigger, Of the Third
Presbyterian church, and the Rev. c..
2. Clark, of the Thompson NJ. E.
church, both members of the Commit
tee Of One Hundred, stated to a Regis
ter representative last evening that
they were satisfied with the results Of
their work during the campaign in the
interests of the reform movement
THE committee" they thought,
were aware Of the mistake they made
in the campaign as well as those who
speak of them. Nineteen Of the nomi-
nees whom we endorsed for both
branches of Council from the various
wards were winners, and this number
was more than half of the Councilmen
elected. 1t must also be considered
that others elected are in sympathy
with our work"
"You may state" said the Rev. Mr..
Clark that reform is only beginning
in Wheeling. We have confidence that
this Council will give us the reform
asked for and we hope that the Mayor
as politician will prove as much of
a gentleman as he does in his private
life"
The Rev. Mr. Bigger stated that
report had emanated from members of
the police force to the effect that there
would likely be recount for the Office
Of chief Of police. This he added.
''is seemingly a scheme to count out
Ritz and if they attempt to do such
a thing they will have to fight the
ministers We will not permit such
an attempt and would make an effort
to have the state militia called out if
necessary, in order to prevent it. The
saloon men in the central part of the
city, so / have learned, are gnashing
their teeth at the results and they are
also talking of a recount for the Office
of City Sergeant.

A Class Fight.

1t is learned that the freshmen of the
Wash-Jeff College had their annual
pole raising yesterday afternoon at
Washington, Pa, and while this was
going on the Sophomore class was in
the gymnasium, receiving class drills.
Hearing of the event the Sophomores
rushed over to get their clothing in
another part of the building and found
that every pair Of shoes was gone.
This they were informed was the work
of the freshmen. Some of the stud
ents were compelled to walk about a
half mile in their stocking feet to their
boarding houses. Steps were at once
taken to tear down the pole which the

There is every indication that the
representatives of the Wheeling Trac-
ton Company and the Cadiz & Wheel
ing Electric Railway Company will
come together upon satisfactory terms
in a traffic arrangement which will
solve the problem of an entrance into
Wheeling, which appears to be the
only barrier to the success of the new
railway project. The matter was
brought UP at a special meeting of the
Board of Trade last night, and through
the report of the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the bill pertain
ing to street railways, was taken out
of the hands of the Board.
This action Is in line with the posi-
ton which was taken at Monday
nights meeting of the Board of Trade
by the representatives Of the Wheel
ing Traction Company. Messrs. Hol-
loway and Stone stated last night, and
deplored the fact, that the attitude Of
the Wheeling Traction Company to-
ward electric railway enterprises is
generally misunderstood. The trac-
ton company is controlled by Wheel
ing stockholders, and the directors are
successful business men and public
spirited citizens, who are interested in
the growth of Wheeling and the vol
ume of it's trade. When the w. & E.
G. company desired to use Fourteenth
street, an amicabie arrangement was
made within two days. Messrs. Hollo
way and Stone say there should be no
trouble in arranging terms with the
Cadiz G Wheeling company.
There is at present an understand
ing between representatives of the
two companies, that the CadiZ &
Wheeling company will submit prop
osition for traffic arrangement, to
the Wheeling Traction Company. 1t
was suggested that it might Oe sub
mitted at the meeting of directors to-
day, but the promoters of the new
company found it necessary to defer
the matter until the coming week.
Last nights meeting of the Board
of Trade was fairly we'll attended. 1t
was called TO order by acting President
Paul o. Reymann, and Assistant Sec
rotary Adams read the following re-
port, signed by every member of the
special committee, including Mr.. Spell
del, who did not attend the meeting
but concurred in the report:
Wheeling w. Va, January 20, 1901.
To the Wheeling Board of Trade:

o'clock. There were present H. w.

dangerous pastime has been tried

covered over with snow, while the
others ran up the line for a short
distance and tagged the passenger
train in time so the lad lying on the
rails could be removed. The object
of the 'play" was mystery to the

DETROIT CATASTROPHE.
Boiler Explosion Causes tn
Death of Thirty People.

The most frightful explosion in
Detroit since the Jouonal building
catastrophe occurred Tuesday morn
ing at $50, when the boiler of the
Pemberthy Injector Co., exploded.
There were $50 people, men,
girls and boys, employed on
the premises. 1t was three story
brick, sixty by one hundred feet in
size. The walls collapsed and when
they fell imprisoned the workmen
under the floor, and roof escapes
were impossible in this part of the
plant,
There was crash as the explosion
occurred, and the walls tottered and
fell and Immediately the building
was enveloped in flames, and
through the smoke and fire came
the shrieks of the imprisoned people,
who suddenly found themselves face
to face with death in its most hor-
rible form.
The general alarm was quickly
turned in and in few minuets q
dozen streams Of water were play
ing on the building.
The firemen worked heroically,
saving the injured and removing
the dead.
The work of rescue was very
difficult owing to the mass Of brick,
machinery and timbers piled on the
victims.
All kinds of vehicles were pressed
into service and made long process
sion of dead and dying victims of
the flames.
All the doctors in the vicinity
turned out and administered to the
wounded, who were taken into
neighboring houses.
The list of deaths resulting from
the explosion at last accounts mum
bered thirty, but a complete record
will not be had for several days.

r. Hathaway, president and

Manufacturing company, of L'Anse,
claims the distinction of being the
first to discover the qualities con-
tanned in Lake Superior graphite
for paint purposes, the discovery
being made while he was in charge
of the mill department of the De-

chance discovery, as stated in the

practical test, and it was he who
made the test.
