Summary of ÜM Statement
The yearly statement of the City's finau
Mapto January 1st of the present year,
im been completed by Clerk Frank Bow
tra and will be laid before Conncil at its
lext meeting on Tneeday evening. The
itatement ie, indeed, a creditable one and
ihows the City to be in a better standing
inancially than for a number of years past,
rhin is greatly due to the tact that
the collections have been much closer
be past year and that the loan of 1885,
which provided for the taking up of the
536,000 balance of the 1871 loan,
gives the city ^the use of that amount,
while the interest on the '85 loan is paid
jy the Gas and Water Boanla.
The Committee on Finance in making
their calculations bad concluded to sell
the Court House and Market street proper
ty, and in making up the appropriations
placed the estimate on these properties
it |20,000, all over that amount
to go into the coutingent fond. After
wards they thought it best not to sell this
y far, which still leaves the $*20,000 to their
credit and besides the debt has been re
laced over ££2,000.
In comparison with last year's state
ment, some interesting reductions in de
partments are shown. For instance,
m the Gas Board the debt is cut
lown from $12,453.03 to $3,609.79, a re
duction of $8,843,24, while the Water
Board has this year $32,534.05 to its credit,
igainst $4,609-79 last year, besides paying
M 4,000 interest on bonds. The Gas Board
tlso paid $5,700 interest on bonds.
Under the new system of conducting the
ïity's finances the expenditures cannot
sxeeed the receipts, as the Fi
nance Committee make« the ap
proportions for the various departments
the first of the year, and the Clerk cannot
iraw an order unless there is mouey to pay
It, and the Committee cannot appropriate
money unless they see their way out. It
throws more work on the Clerk and Re
ceiver, but it works to much better satis
faction than the old way, and each depart
ment can tell at any time exactly how
much money remains to its credit.

For over two months the Woman's Er

>ue hundred and twenty-five persons have
ipplied for help both in and out of the
rity. These want« have been met in a sat
isfactory manner, except in a few in
stances. One of the lady managers said:
"We do not claim perfection, nor do we
:laim to furnish perfect help lor imperfect
people. We have not yet learned the
character of all the applicants
oor of the homes we are trying
to beuefit with efficient help.
But we do claim, that with the co-opera
tion of the women of this city, to be able
to set tie the vexed problem in a reforma
tion that will lead those wishing help to
lirn at a higher degree of proficiency and
lead careless housekeepers to be more care
ful in their training. Experience has
shown us that there are two sides to this
question, and reformations are loudly
■ailed for on l>oth sides. We have on our
l>ooks an honored roll and a questionable
roll. Girls who cannot give reference and
persons who do not know how to treat
servants need not apply at the exchange."
T1IE IirXGE FACTOKY FIRE.
The Damage by Water Heavy—1The Iqhut
ance Carried.
The destruction of a portion of the
Wheeling Hinge Company's works by fire
Saturday evening, and the heavy damage
to the extensive stock by water, caused
much regret all over the city yesterday
when the facts were fully made known.
The exact extent of the loss cannot be as
certained until the stock is examined, but
the percentage will be heavy, as every
thing will have to be rehaudled, dried,
polished and packed, involving ranch
extra labor. The machinery is also badly
damage«! aud will very likely have to be
refitted.
The warehouse, factory, machinery and
stock was insured for $4.'?,(XX), of which
firuount $30,000 is in foreign companies.
Of our homo companies, the l'ealtody,
Franklin, German, American and Fire
und Marine had policies of |2, '>00 each.
The fire department is praised on all sides
for the good work done, the Hinge Com
pany giving public expression to their
thanks this morning in another column.
A Narrow Encape.
Charles Van Keuren, the restauranter,
had a narrow escape from fire at his
Eleventh street residence Saturday night.
All duriug the night the house was filled
with an odor of burning wood, but no fire
could be discovered. Yesterday Mr. Van
Keuren called in Foreman Rickets, of the
Hope, and an examination of the premises
showed that the timbers below one of the
hearths were entirely burned away, leav
iug the bricks unsupported. The house is
a new one and the fire is supposed to have
resulted from bad carpenter work.
Off for Charleston.
The rush for tho Stat« capital has com

parties.
Natural Gas Escaping.
Tli® line of the West Virginia Natural
Gas Company sprung a leak at the stop
cock, corner of Market and Fourteenth
streets early this morning, and gas was
escaping at a pretty lively rate.
The gas had worked its way
over to the gas post and had ignited from
the light, making quite ablaze and break

notified, but as no bands were there noth

A FINE EFFORT.
iN IMAGINATIVE WRITER CONCOCTS "A
REMARKABLE CASE,"
.locating It ia the Wildi of Ritchi« Oouoty—
Genor&l N«wi frum The Interior
of the State.
The Frederick, Md., AT«r« has the fol
lowing:
"A remarkable case, in which a wo
rn'« lost speech vu suddenly restored,
las occnrred at a small town in Ritchie
xranty, about twenty raiies from Parkers
mrg. Ten years ago Mrs. Ada Martin
Yactured one of her limbs so severely as
» cause permanent paralysis of it aud de
prived her of her power of speech. During
:he period of her affliction she has been
nakiug crazy quilts and endeavoring to get
patches from prominent men. Presidents
Hayes, Garfield and Arthur sent her
patches. Mauy Senators, Army officers
uid other notables have favored her. A
lay or two ago she received a patch from
President Cleveland, with his compliments
»utographically expressed. Her pleasure
at the event was so great that she jumped
up suddenly, and in doing m knocked a
revolver to the floor, causiug it to be dis
charged. The ball entered* the paralyzed
limb. The shock removed the paralytic
effects and restored her speech.
The Baltimore ifun'n Oakland corres
pondent says: "A little over two years
ago the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany commenced sinking au artesian well
at Deer Park Hotel for the purpose of ob
taining a good supply of fresh water for the
hotel and cottages. ^At twenty-four feet
below the surface hard rock was encoun
tered, and from the time the workmen
struck it until Monday they have reached
a deptq of two thousand feet. After going
beyond the usual depth for fresh water
wells without obtaining a supply, the
work was continued ih the hope of strik
ing natural gas or some other product
which might become profitable. After the
holidays, when the work ia resumed, the
process of "shooting the well" will be gone
through with. The dynamite cortridges
for that purpose have been procured and
are on the ground. How much deeper the
company will Bink this well or what the
result of the undertaking will be no body
seems to know?"
There is a report in circulation ui»i mi
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company ha«
purchased the I*roctor farm, near Pied
mont, which was fortnerly owned by the
late Wilson Proctor, of Baltimore, who
sold it several years ago to John Bradly, of
Cincinnati. The Proctor farm is a valua
ble piece of property, and lies between the
town of Oakland and Big Youghiogheny
river, adjoining Oakland on the west. The
B. & O. road runs through the property,
and it is said the projiosed road down the
Youghiogheny will councct with the main
line at this point, where extensive shops
will be built and other improvements
made. Another report says that the com
pany proposes to lengthen the divisions,
making only three divisions between Balti
more and the Ohio river, instead of four,
as at present; that Piedmont will lie the
end of a division, and the Proctor farm
will be used for the erection of extensive
shops, made necessary by the change.
It looks as if President Hatry and his
West Virginia Kailroad Company mean
business, and that their proposed road
from the Pennsylvania line via. Morgan
town and up Decker's creek to Newbnrg,
may be built speedily. Chief Engineer
Barrett and a surveying corps were in
Fairmont last Tuesday on their way to
Morgantown to survey and locate the line
of the road, and the Morgantywn Dominion
says that they began active work on last
Wednesday moruing. Mr. Hatry says the
work of construction will be commenced
as soon as the engineers get the survey
made, and that next summer will proba
bly see the road completed. The building
of this line will no doubt stimulate the B.
& O. company to extend the F., M. & P.
through to Uniontown to eonuect with its
Pittsburg branch there, thus giving Mor
gantown two direct lines to the Iron City.
On last Monday morning the workmen
in the B. & O. blacksmith shop at Grafton
were honitied to see a man staggering pant
the shop with his faceand clothing stream
ing with blood and a red stream pouring
from his mouth. When opposite the door
he fainted and fell in the snow but was
quickly picked up by the men aud carried
inside where everything possible was done
to relieve him and a messenger sent for
Dr. A. S. Warder, who soon arrived and in
a short time stopped the hemorrhage. The
man was an entire stranger, 110 one even
learning his name, anil was very weak
from loss of blood. A collection was
taken np for him by the men in the shop,
as he claimed he was in destitute circum
stances, and a snug sum of money was
handed over to the stranger who left town
on a train bound for the east.
David Hickman and William Koby,
of St. Mary's, have been "mad" at each
other for some time. On last Monday
night David went to church. On his way
home William Blipped upon him and began
to attack him with his fists; whereupon
Dave pulled out his pocket knife and sailed
in to make sausage meat out of Will. The
conference was brief and animated. Wil
liam received several severe cuts, losing
considerable blood, but is not in a danger
ous condition. On Wednesday the case
was brought before Squire Barron, who
bound Hickman over to answer an indict
ment for cutting Roby with a knife.
The formal opening of the new State
Houses at Charleston, last Wednesday
evening, with a ball, was one of the most
successful society events ever occurring in
West Virginia. Many visitors from abroad
were present, and all will bear testimony
to the success of the brilliant occasion.
The music was furnished by the Columbus
Barracks Band, and the repast was spread

Hawk Bros.

The latest from Hampshire is that many
