Meeting of Citizens Yesterday?1The Various Wells That Blaj be Taken up?Au Expreaalon of Views? Committee. The meeting of manufacturers, businesi ineu and citizens generally, called in yea terday morning's papers for yesterday af ternoon, at the City Building, was not s< well attended as it should have been when there is taken into consideratioi the importance of the subject the meetinj was called to discuss?that of procuring i natural gas Supply for Wheeling in orde to allow her to successfully compete witl Pittsburgh and other places where thi strange and cheap fuel is boing used toai advantage In more ways than one. At o'clock, the hour for which tho meotinj was called there were not half a doze) gentlemen present. By 3 o'clock probabl; twenty persons were gathered in the Sec ond Brunch chamber, but among tha number there were not more than live o six men prominently identified with tin industrial establishments of the city. On motion of Mr. N. B. Scott, Mr. Jame ' B. Taney, business manager of tho Jkgu ' ttr, was made chairman and the represeii tatives of tho two daily papers presen were made secretaries. Then there was ' pause. Mr. Scott finally asked that Mi 0. W. Brockunier inform the meetin i what the meeting was called for and whe i action, if any, it was expected would b tnirnu \if Rrnnlrunior said that it wa i well known that considerable money ha ' been expended hereabouts in an endeavc to tlnd a How of natural gas, but thus fc 5 with no great success and that there wei i now in existence several wells bored to . depth of 2,000 feet and under.' Ho refei ! red to the advantage possessed by Pitti ' burgh, in having a good supply of the ni tural gas and that Wheeling to hold lie . own agaiust that city must either find i 3 here or pipe from a distance of Hfteen c , sixteen miles. The ideu as talked ovt . among several, was that to secure gas i I this vicinity a well must be put down tt,OC , or 3,500 lout. Tho Ben wood mill had pi \ one down 2.400 feet, but had found no gai 5 Tho La Belle was down about 2,000 fee t with but few encouraging signs. T1IK CENTUAL'S OAS WELLS. Mr. Scott said that he was greatly sui i prised to note tho small representation < inanufacturere present. *or a longtiui he had been impressed with tho necessit of securing gas. He had noticed tho art cles that had appeared in tho press th n past few days and had made a few ii quiries of the borers at the Central glai , house well. It was down 2,020 feet. Th J borers would :be willing to go down 1,0C further for $2 per foot, and after that a additional 500 feet for $2 50 per foot. M } Scott said that tho company was no ? having this well cleaned out for the pu pose of securing a better flow for tho sma [ vein that had ueen struck and was no J being used in certain portions of the fai 1 tory, but that it would be willing to su 1 render it as it now stands, with the nndei standing that in case it should be take hold of by a pool for tho purposo of coin lower to ascertain whether gas in a larg quantitv could be fouud, that in case sue t a supply was struck, the glass compan should have the same on uayiug buck t - the members of the pool their contribi . tions with interest, and he further sai that in addition to the expense alread 1 gone to by the company in putting dow - its two wells, it would contribute to th s development oi any wen in me vieinitj p Mr. Scott gave some very interesting ir . formation concerning the developments t 1 the two wells sunk at tho Central. In th r first, at 800 feet a very good liow wi - found; that was the one that caused a much, excitement here. It wjyj finall i eased off and the well sunk lower. /\ t 1,025 feet the Bait water was struck. The - was cased olT and tho boring continue down to its present depth. The secon 1 well, about 45 feet distant, was sunk fc 3 the purpose of striking tho 800 feet flov , but nothing was found until the salt watt t (low vras encountered and then that we I was abandoned. He gave soino figure showing the comparison between gas an 0 coal for fuel purposes that were interes ing. 8 THE LA UELLU'S OFFER. j Inquiry as to the La Bello well, di veloped the fact that at 800 feet a ver email flow was struck, not largo enou# to amount to anything. In this connei tion Mr. lirockunier presented for tho col sideration of any pool, combination < - company that might bo formed for tli purpose of experimenting, & propositi? - from President Priest of the La Belle, That company has a conditional coi ' tract with Oeorge Given to bore 2,600 fc< for $5,000, but It feoJiB|;Jiat it has expendc * about as much as it to venture i 1 tho same. It is willing, howQVQT, to ,PU > render tho well to those who willoontfnu > it down, with the understanding that i : enough gas is secured to use in tk , mill that will pay a reasonable interest o ? the cost of the well, then the compan will agree to pay back the^/jtire expense ' connected with tho sinking of M.e wel > in #)in ilunlli t.llfl nool HlftV ullGOl.O in 2T.

Tbe ttalr aji etinted as such committee Messrs. J. H. obha,* J. D. Culbertson, A. W. Kelly, Dr. E. A. Hildreth and T. H. Logan. . Before adjourning Mr. W. F.reterson offered as a suggestion to the committee this plan: The county has a large tract of i land about its poor house; there-is a need , of gas as a fuel and illuminator at that in* stitution; let the cititens prepare a petition asking the Board of Commissioners to put down a well on the poor house farm for county purposes; if gas is secured the county will have use for it and the work might demonstrate whether gas was to be found here. ' 1UXK TALK. 1 now the Crnxfl l? rrogreftnlnjr In This City. 1 Wuller Notci. A largo and delighted audience filled the Island rink hist evening and was more than entertained by Master Clint Collins, the youthful phenominal skater. After watching lilm one will agree that he is entitled to the title of the champion acrobatic skater of Ohio. He is a little fellow, not yet in his teens, but his performance would bo wonderful in one twice his ago. ? To-day he makes his last appearanco at 11 the rink, lie will give two exhibitions; y one this afternoon and one this evening. It is probable that the place will l>e t crowded on.both occasions. The number r of skaters was very large last night. 3 Messrs. Larkin and llundlan had a force of men at work bright and early yesterday B grsuliug the old Atheneuui lot. They propost) to have their rink open and in operation as they at first announced, inside of ,t ten days. They propose making their a opening a boomer. r> The roller skating craze continues to grow in this city. Yesterday Messrs. Lally & Mahlon secured a lease of tho e property on Main street near Twentys fourth, formerly occupied by the street J car stables, on which they propose putting ,r up a first class rink. They came from ir Boston and have been connected with the 15-acre rink, the largest in this country. a They can put up a big building on their r. property and they propose doing so. Messrs. Kose and Entler who are going t. to put up a rink at tho corner of Chapline ir and Twenty-second streets, propose tearit, ing down two occupied houses that are on ,r the property, in order to make their rink ,r a good sizetl one. They were living around n yesterday hunting quarters for. tho peopie that now occupy the houses. These gentlemen are also verv much in earnest s> and vow that their rink will be open in about two weeks), and that for style and comfort they will not bo downed. It is wonderful what an interest nearly every one, and especially the skaters, are i"* taking in tho coming rinks. One of the ? latter in discussing the matter with a e friend as he circled around the Pavilion )' last night, was heard to exclaim: "Won't i- it bo fun 7 There'll be lots of competition, e plenty ofjattractions and music and cheap l" skating?why we'll be skating for live s? cents then." e At the Fifth street rink in Steubenville, Q a children's masquerade carnival is to ? take place on the 13th.

On tho 21st w at the same rink, a grand carnival is to be held for the benelit of the G. A. li. bener" volent fund. Both promise to bo notable f" events. Steubenville has had the roller n skating craze for several months past.

Several of Wheeling's K skaters are at present struggling with it. l" Skating rinks are starting up iu nearly every town of any prominence in this e State. The finest ono probably, is at l'ar18 kersburg.
