The Urat thing in order was the calling of the roll. Ail not present to answer to their names without a good excuse are fined twenty>five cents. Among those who were tardy yesterday/and paid their fitfife,'were Messrs.-Raymond, Cunningham, Thompson) Battelle and others. Mr. Kelly said he was unwell, and a member moved .to excuse him. The motion was rejected unanimously and with a shout Mr. Williams having missed the train, had to walk; he was excused. Mr. Kaymond said he had Btarted in ample time, but his horse ran off and delayed him. The only attention paid to his excuse was by another delegate, who auggeeted, "JBuy a mule!" DOWN TO BUSINESS. The minutes of Thursday afternoon's session were read and approved. The only points of interest were the appointment of a committee of three on the Tress urer's bond, and the mysterious cose of "Brother Blley," who found himself in an anomalous situation as a member of the organisation. What the peculiar features of his case are was not recited, but Mr. Riley is a Chicago man. Under the head of unfinished business, the report of the committee appointed to revise the constitution and by-laws was taken up where left off on Thursday, and the remainder read by Sections for adoption, amendment'dr rej06tion. This occupied nearly all the morning session. The last section passed on Thursday was one dirtfctiiig' the mill committees to wait on all hai]ex&, heaters and rollersand endeavor to induce them to join the association. Members' are forbidden to renfle? any assistance to non-membeis, or to members who are in arrears for dues. The next section was: ^ _ members who are engaged in a logklizsd strike shall be deemed black sbeep, and their names Khali be forwarded to the Secretary of the Grand Lodge to be by him recorded on a list This list is to be |S6nt in aupncaie 10 eacn lodge, una no person who flbal! bare been once listed as a black sheep shall ever again be admitted ' to membership in any lodge oi the association. This was adopted without discussion. CHANGES lit THE SCALE. Article X treats oi the "Scale Committee." ItwasadoptedbyBectionsbyunanimoos consent. It prescribes that when any change in the scale of prices for heating, rolling or cutting shall become accessary, the desired change shall be submitted to the Secretary of the Grand Lodge on or before the first Saturday in Much. All the changes thus submitted to him shall be printed under bis direction, and copies aent to all the subordinate lodges. Each subordinate lodge shall vote upon each change suggested, and shall instruct its representatives to the district convention how to vote thereon. The district conventions are to meet on the first Saturday in April of each year. The District Deputy shidl preside. The composition of the districts was printed in yesterday's Ixtsluoencsr. In the dis trict meetings each mill shall be entitled to four delegates, two nailers, on* roller and one heater.

The Chairman presented it, with a statement that it was unnecessary to explain what tbe feeders' demands were; everybody was familiar with them, He desired, however, to correct the false impressions < given out by the press. A. Voice?That weald take a year. The Chairman continued that the Com- ! mittee did not indicate to the feeders a ! willingness to compromise, tendering an | Increase of prices for cutting cold nails in lieu of the teaching the three percent. 1 What was nald on thig anhlect wmt an in. [juiry by the Chairman: "What guarantee have we il we grant your demands that , you will not demand an increase o(pay?" The feeders said they were perfectly willing Ja give such a guarantee. All talk about a demand for an increase was voluntary on the part of. the newspapers. No such demand had been suggested by a feeder. The chairmas asked candid and serious consideration for two resolutions offered, as follows: Kaolved, That we deem it inexpedient to comply with the demands of the feeders it this time. Kmktd, 2, That what concessions wo make as to teaching apprentices shall be made to the managers of the factories, thaflk) select not over two percent of apprentices and we one. The first resolution was adopted' with enthusiasm and without a dissenting voice. A motion was made to reject the second, rbia brought to his feet an elderly dele;ato, who said: "We don't want the out Hue worm 10 uuu& wo nro guuig w iown and stop the wheels o( progress, i i'ou can legislate here now, and you can . egislate till doomsday, but in spite of your c iat the feeders of to day will be the naii- . ira fifteen years from now. I am in favor if granting the feeders' demands." 1 Another delegate declared that the j nanagera had asked no concessions. He li vas not in favor of voluntarily throwing 11 iown the barsand opening their ranks to ill comers. The Chairman of the committee Baid the nanagers had asked concessions. Another delegate thought they were go- 0 ng too fast. The first thing to do was to 1 rustmctthecoraniitteeto notify the feeders 3 hat they would concede nothing. A SCHEME. ( One man said he bad run nail machines 1 I years and he had never taught an apinntice, and before he wouid'teacb apirentlces selected by the feeders be would ee them all fi The rest of the sentence was drowned ii n applause. a Another man would make ten thousand oncesaioDS to tbo feeders before be would c nake a fractional part of one to a inanu- I] acturer. [Cheers 1 ii Then a neat little scheme was hinted at. y I young nailer proposed that the demands o >f the feeders be ostensibly granted, bat a bat when the feeders were selected and tl ook charge of the machines, they be al- tl owed to shift for themselves, not a nailer ti ;oing near them, bet them go along as o lest they conld, and he felt sure that in e bree weeks the managers wonld be glad d o bounce them. c A gentleman answered the argument c hat in fifteen years the feeders of to-day c ronld be nailers. He showed by flgnres g bat if the three percent proposition pre- si ailed,in fifteen years there would be just c Ive hundred new nailers in the West. e The matter was still under discnsslon tl rhen the hour of noon arrived and the n onvention adjourned. What further c ction has been taken could not be learnd. A protracted night session was held gt ist night. It is expected that the work 1< [ tho convention will be completed and tl lie body adjourn to-day. B! TUB OTilKI!81Di5 ? >1 the High School QaMllon DUooHfld by tl Dr. J.

We think not.

In comparison of the ooat of one Gram- , nar School to the High Schools of other : ities, we will gire yon the figtuu a little nrtheron. The average age of pupils entering the Srammar School la about twelve yean, in J it Is only the apt and Btnilions who omplete the course In the allotted time. Again It is proposed to dispense-with he assistant Grammar.. School teachers. 1 [ his, withtwoor three exceptions, cannot >e done. By way of illustration take ilitchie school again. Of the number aught here by the Grammar room teach- i ire. during the past year, a class of twentyIs pupils properly , belonged to the A 3rade, and tlie assistant was obliged to ?em inatracUon?'*This has been tlfo case very year.sinceshe was employed.

There are no harder worked teachers in rarcity, nor in any other city, than our Srammaracbool teachers and their asaistints. Nor an our nrindoala idle. Their :ime Is about evonly-diviiled between initructing and general supervision. High ichool teachers will not likely be better jualifled to tcach the senior classes than th'-y. We sfllrm that the schools o( this city, u now condacted, are more economically idmlniatered thau can be found in any neighboring city. Let us compare the expense of the Steubeuville high school which answers to our Grammar schools. It is claimed by Sr. Jepson that our present Grammar school system costs sver&Oper pupil?granted. It cost us for the year just closed $30 60 per pupil, counting tl?3 average daily attendance. In Steubeuville for a like attendance the cost per pupil was $3010, a difference' of $9 60 to the credit of the Wheeling Bystom. Bather a clover showing for the Whaling management. TUE GUUIAX. The proposition regarding German will virtually loll it. As now taught, it is in tccordance with the wishes of a large class Df our people. There are 333pnpils study[no Grflmmar.andthpfienrA tmarlv ?11 from LheAandBgrades. Pupils who never enter the German schools have the advantage )? studying it three or four years. To confine the instruction of German to our 5erman schools, or the High School, is equivalent to dropping it from the course, ro make it equal as now taught, the Gernan school courso Would have to be still farther prolonged. To summarize?what will be the result ' >f establishing a High School? First?There are manv now availing 1 ihemselvcs of the Grammar school course ! n the extreme limits of the city, who vouldnot go because they could not We lonestly believe that 25 percent less vould graduate than now, and the great >bjectof our school system, with its ad- ' vantages, will be lost to many. This roula be economy at the expense of in- i elligence. ^ ' Second?Let us compare the figures 1 lonestly and see if the proposed system rill not entail an expense to the tax pay- < irs in excess of the old system.

Finally, if our city were built like most itiea of its size, so that the limits would e in fair proximity to the gcographjal center, a Union Grammar School rould be more practicable. The first i bject of our public schools is to educate a many of our boys and girls as possible, t una conferring tue greatest good upon , bo greatest number. Oar present sys- ( em roaches all who desire to embrace its r pportunities for a good common school j ducation. If we adopt a system that will E eprive any considerable number of oar lnldren f.om receiving as liberal an eduation as our' present Grammar School trarse guarantees to them, we commit a J reat wrong. We claim that it\wiU be a t ulcidal polloy to make such a sweeping f bange. Our standard is already high s nough. When a child passes on through s be various grades, and finishes the Gram- s lar School course. He or she is fitted to s uter upon auy trade or profe'Sion. 1 Our schools, at present, are running t moothly. and it is sometimes wisdom to t it well enough alone, and not to be of 1 aatchueof persona who are always de- 1 irous of D6W things. If a High School is established, where 1 'ill we draw the lines, and what will be a le tendency? Once established the enre High School will want to go up higher, ill want more and higher studies, more C pparatus, more teachers, more and better 1 gildings, more everything, all of which f ill tako moro money, and thus place t pan the city of Wheeling,already In debt : ad overtaxed, an immense school debt, blch will prove burdensome for many ears to come.

WW; ? and Market streets, and the Monitor Towboat and Barge Company, owners of the towboats Monitor, Nail City and Eugene, had made assignments lor the benefit of their creditor!. Thomas O'Brien, Esq, is the assignee in both cases. The firm is composed of John A. Armstrong, Alexander Coen, T. B. Armstrong and B. H< 011lespy. Of the company John A. Armstrong tfas the principal stockholder and President, Alexander Coen Vice President, and R. P. Armstrong Secretary. The transfer of the company's property recites that "whereas the said party of the first part owes divers debts which it is unable to pay in full, and Is desirous to provide for the payment of the same as far as in its power by an assignment of all Its property for that purpose, now this deed witnesseth," etc. The conveyance covers all and singular the lands, tenements, herrditainents and appurtenances, goods, chattels, stocks, prammissory notes, debts, cboees in action, evidences of debt, claims, demands, property and effects of every deHerintionbcloniHnetosaid lurtv of the first part, wherever the same in ay be situated. The asainnee is authorized to sell the property as seoms to him most advisable. There are no preferred creSi'ors. The firm's transfer is similarly teneral, convering the Keystone planing mills, and all other property of every kind. There are a few preferred creditors, all representing trust funds, the sggregate being email. 1 The assignment was made just before the doss of business hours last evening. The assets and liabilities are not known, nor can they yet be reliably estimated. It is said, however, that the property will nearly cover U>o debts. The business depression, especially in the lumber and the business in towing, is given as the cause of the embarrassment. The two concerns were generally regarded as sound and wealthy, and the announcement of the failure caused a shock, as well as general regret.
