List With Taking the Handle if $24,000 From the Bank of Wheeling. The trial >>f the of the State v. Harry It. Seybold was resumed in Part Two of the Circuit Court yesterday morning. Mr-. Seybold, wife of defendant, was in Court, with her husband, for the first time during the trial. The first witness called was Mr. Henry K. List. That gentleman made a minute and explicit statement of the occurrences at the of fice of Justice Arkle, on the night upon which the defendant was arrested, nar rating the statements made heretofore, as well as concerning the various trips made in the hack down to defendant's house after securities, and the evidence given Monday afternoon by Capt. Dov erner and others was very fully corrob orated. t)n cross-examination tiie de fence renewed its effort to obtain from the witness an admission that defend ant had said ho had the money and would restore it. and to shake the re ported statement that he had confessed that he had taken the money himself, but Mr. I.ist was unshaken in his first statement that wli n confronted with the evidence of Capt. Dovcner he had broken down and said he had taken the cash, and was sorry for it both on ids own account and on account of his rela tions. On re-direct examination Mr. Howard asked: IIK ADM1TTKI* IT. Did Harry Seybold admit he had the mouey, and would restore it, or did ho admit that ho had takon tho mouey? A.—He certainly admitted lie had taken tho package said to contain $?4,u<>0. Mr. D. C. List was recalled by tho de fense. and was asked, when Mr. Lamb came up, after the money was missing, if he romembered a meeting in the back room nf the bank. Mr. List said he did remember such a meeting, but did not recall, in the next question, that it was 'tail'd that Mr. Frank Stansbi ry, Mr. Joseph Seybold and Mr. Harry List wore in the bank the afternoon of the robbery. Witness remembered that the question was asked, at that meeting, who was present in the bank, but he did not remember such an answer, in reply to further questions, Mr. List said the matter had been considered by him as being closed up, as all the mouey taken, or its equivalent, had been re turned. Mr. List could not remember that the transfer of Mr. Harry List's stock was made to Mr. <1. Lamb at the time of his visit from Cincinnati, or subsequently. Witness CUfMI NOT FIX TIIK !>ATK. Justice George Arklc was the next witnes> called, and detailed the arrest of the defendant by Constable Lauchlin. Defendant was taken to a rear room of witness’ office, where Capt. Dovener was waiting. Witness heard a part of the conversation with Capt. Dovener, and had no knowledge of any promises or threats made to defendant to induce him to say what lie did. Defendant was first told at the office what he was arrested for, although he repeatedly asked to be informed on the way lip. t)n the way back to defendant’s house, witness heard defendant admit he had taken a package of S24.000; on the second trip down, defendant said lie saw the package there, and he supposed the Devil made him take it. While at the house on the tir't trip witness asked tiie defendant if he w as sure lie had all the papers he wanted, and he said lie had. but a second trip was necessary. Witness declined, both on direct and cross-examination, to state any part of the conversation between Capt. Dove ner and the defendant, in the office, for the reason that he was in and out of the room frequently, and did not catch more than fragments of the talk. <.Kt>Ki;K llHNNH. s STOKY. George lleunig was thou called, and -aid he Had known defendant for about thirteen years. In the summer of lSSti witness and Mr. Seybold had some money deposited In their joint names. All the money belonged to Mr. Seybold. lie said Hurry had been desirous of in vesting in some mines In New Mexico, but witness discouraged him. In May, ] —!***, defendant proposed to witness to go into iiiiiiinu, an»l n *k« ,1 witness If lie could command any money. Witness said he expected to get some money, and Harry said he could get some money from Mr. Anton Reymann. Witness tried to discourage him, as witness did not know when lie would get his money, and mining operations were un certain, but Harry said if the mining operations were not at onee embarked in, his money could be used to advant age in buying iron. Witness then went to the country, and when he returned defendant met him and said: “George, that money is at the Hank of the Ohio Valley, in our joint names, and when you get your money you can put it in.” “That,” said the witness, “is how the money came to be in our joint names.” Witness was in Arkle’s office when de fendant was brought in. The lirst thing witm ss said to Seybold was: “Harry, you know 1 don’t own any of that money." The witness then detail ed the conversation at the rear room, in tin* Justice’s office, between Captain Doveuer and the defendant, corober ating statements previously made. When Captain Oovener said: “Harry, you can tell us about that money,” de fendant said: “1 know more about it than i» liimii mk— more than I would care to know,” and added that he could produce part of il. On cross examination witness said he did not hear defendant say he had taken the money. On redirect examination. Mr. Ileuing said he did not know of any checks be ing drawn on the joint account in the hank of the Ohio Valley. Witness never -aw the bank book until Monday. “Harry requested as a favor that 1 give him a check for 5.">,ooo. I said. ‘Harry, you know I have no money there.’ He said. ‘Oh. the money will In* there.'” Witness could not fix the time, but it must have been before April l*ith. !j. What reason had Harry for ask iug you to sigu a check on a bank in which you huiLsio money'? A. - I think the reason was so he could relieve his father, or give it to him. t,* Hid that reason satisfy you? A. —Well, I saw no more in it than one person commissioning another to buy g»Hids. tj.—Why didn't lie give the money directly tohis father? A.—I don’t know: I never understood that. ij.--Did you expect him to find the money to meet the cheek? A.—That was my understanding; that was why the check was not dated. i}. i check shown)—Is that the check? A. Yes. that is it. The check was offered in evidence. It read TIIK CIIKCK. N.' tfT.

Lamb was recalled by the de fense. and was asked if he remembered of a question being asked in the bank, who was present in the bank the even ing the money was taken, but he could not recall any such question. He did not pure hast Mr.’H. W. List's shares at that time, lie thought it was in duly, tj.—I>oyou know of any funds taken from the Hank which were not taken by Harry Seybold? Objection by Capt. Dovener, and the objection was sus tained. [Continued <»i Third Pugc.) SMALL TALK. Minor Matters of Interest Briefly and rithiK Told.

A Taste of the French. Tho‘'Clcmenccau Case,” was presented to a crowded house at the Opera House last evening. The audience was mainly composed of the male sex. The play is very French, that is to say, It is French in its diction, and action and construc tion. It js not an Immoral play to those who do not look in it for immorality. The French ‘•realism" was omitted en tirely from the play last evening, and those who went to behold the sensa tional scene in the second act, which caused the play to be suppressed in sev eral cities, were disappointed. ‘•Iza,’’ the realistic model was not “in it.” In fact the audience, if necessary, could have stood less clothes on the model and more on the lines of the play. There are but four characters in the play of any prominence, and these were pre sented acceptably by the company. Though the play was •‘cut" unmerci fully. still there was enough left to please the audience, and there were re calls at the close of every act. On a Kitinimge. East night a colored man by the name of Abo Fletcher decided to have a rip j roaring tear and general walk around ■ town. Whether Fletcher was drunk or ! insane has not yet been fully deter mined, butat all events he succeeded In I carrying out his purpose. Early in the J evening he cleaned everything, animate i and inanimate, out of Middle’s saloon, | on Market square, and made life decid I odly miserable for the occupants ipside. Fletcher then entered a saloon run j by a colored man, and after put ting a scarlet tint on the interior, crept off into the rear of j the place and laid down. Officer Wat ! son was notified, and It was here that he arrested him, but not without con siderable difficulty Fletcher showed fight, and rushed at Watson with a poker, and the officer in order to keep his man in submission gave the fellow a few well-directed blows with the billy. He was then taken to the police station. At Work on the Wreck. A large force of workmen were busy all day yesterday trying to get the sunken engine and tender out of the | creek, under the B. A O. depot. The rope* were made fast to the tender yes terday morning, and an effort was made to draw her out of the water. The power was furnished by a locomotive which moved back into the yard with he rope attached. The cum brous affair was raised to the surface of the water, but no sooner had it emerged from the deep than its true weight began to tell on the appH anees, and the heavy chain broke, letting the tender again to the bottom. One or two other attempts were made later in the day to get her out but they were unsuccessful, ihe tender upon being brought to the sur face late in the afternoon broke In parts, and about all that was saved was the trucks and a few pieces of the tender. An effort will be made to-day to draw up the engine. Yesterday afternoon there were several hundred people In the vicinity watching the performance. Changing Railroad Tlm«* Table*. Tin- reporter’s mention was called to a very serious and provoking ease of neglect to change the railroad time :ard on the C. & P. yesterday. A gen tleman of this city had an im portant appointment away from home, and made preparations to take the 11:22 a. n>. train. Judge of his consternation when within a short dis tance of the depot to see his train sail ing off, and he ahead of the published time about ten minutes. Enquiry of the ticket agent elicited the statement that the new time schedule had just come into effect and al though notified the newspapers had not made the correction. Now the fact is that the papers had not been notified by the officers of the road of the change. lfut even if the papers had been notified the railroad officials owe it to their patrons to see that the changes in the published time cards are made promptly and accu rately. There are timds when an er ror of a figure will slip past un noticed by the proof reader, and which the railroad officials would detect instantly if they gave it a little attention. Once correct it re mains so until there is a new schedule. Headache, Neuralgia, Dizziness, Ner vousness, Spasms, Sleeplessness, cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine.

That Citizens’ Ticket. There was another meeting of the Central Prohibition Club at McLain’s Hall last evening for the purpose of dismissing the advisability of putting a citizens’ ticket in the field. There were twenty-three persons present, in cluding four ladies. One purpose of the meeting was to resume the debate between Messrs. Martin and Watkins, Mr. Watkins, was unavoidably out of town, and the debate was postponed. Early in the evening it was discovered by one of the members of the club that the election of officers at the meeting last Tuesday night was irregular and illegal, owing to proper notice of the same not being given through the papers. A long discussion followed, in which all the parliamentary fuel that could be gathered together, was brought into play, and about all the members present took a hand in the lively war of words. This discussion occupied almost the en tire evening, and there was no allusion whatever during the evening to the political situation. It was finally de cided that the officers were ail Illegally elected, ami it will all have to be done over again in December on the fourth Tuesday. An entorlanmcnt will follow the next reguiar election, and commit tees were appointed to provide for the same. Tilt SOCIAL MAZE. What Was Going on In the Line of Festlvl ties Yesterday.

An Important Communication IteKuriling llie Duties of Tlint Office. Wiikemxu, W. Va., November 25. To Hit Editor of Hit Rtgltttr. Silt:—The new “building ordinance" now being framed by the City Solicitor is a measure of vital importance to all property holders, architects and con tractors in the city, and those portions of it relating to the qualifications nec essary to lit a man for the ollice of “building inspector’” cannot be too carefully considered to save trouble in the future. No one should be eligible j for said office but a man who Is thor- [ oughly capable of understanding the , plans which are to lie brought before liiiu, and also lie should have a thorough knowledge of all the various branches of the trades in tlie building connection. Probably no part of the work on a build ing is usually more cut down (to save expense), tluln the plumbing, which in view of the effect defective plumbing lias upon the public health, should be the part of the work that should be the most complete, all supply and waste pipes being of sufficient size to insure the proper flushing of the sewer pipes; and tin* trapping and ventilating of the various fixtures separately to in sure against the escape of sewer gas into buildings, should be insisted upon. Would it not be a good plan for Council to appoint as a committee to examine applicants for the olliee of In- ; spector, one architect, and one member of each of the following trades: Stone mason, brickmason. cari«n»t»>r. plumber, Uuworker and painter? Mach of these parties to be a contractor in active busi ness in his branch of work. The said committee to be paid a fair remunera tion for their labor. la this way we would secure a competent man for office and not an ignoramus. A SUCCESSFUL MISSION. Close of flic IntcrcHlIiik Service! at St. Luke'* Cliiirch. The mission services at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, on the Island, were brought to a close yesterday, after one of the most instructive and altogether successful series of religious sessions ever held in the city. The morning session yesterday was well attended, and Rev* Mr. Carstensen talked enter tainingly as usual, but perhaps one of the largest assemblages of tho mission was that which greeted the gifted speaker on the occasion of ids farewell sermon last evening. The church was completely tilled with eager listen ejs. Mr. Carstensen took for the subject of his discourse “Heaven," and gave such a picture of that blest abode as did not fail to move the listen ers. The sermon throughout was re plete with valuable suggestions and apt illustrations, and all were thoroughly pleased with the discourse. Rev. Mr. Carstenscn’s sojourn in Wheeling has been an enjoyable one to all with whom lie has come in contact, and the im pressions he will leave behind, will be most kindly and lasting. There is some talk of getting Mr. Carstensen to conduct a mission at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Jhurch in this city after lent. I* a constitutional ami not a local disease, and therefore it cannot bo cured by local applications. It requires a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working through the blood, eradicates the Impurity which causes and promotes the disease, and effects a permanant mire. Thousands of people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy for catarrh when other preparations had failed. Hood's Sarsaparilla also builds up the whole system, and makes you feel renewed in health and strength. N. B. If you decide to fry Hood's Sarsa parilla do not be induced to buy auy other. I “ I used Hood’s Sarsaparilla for catarrh, i and received treat relief und benefit from it. I The catarrh was very disagreeable, causing constant discharge from my nose, ringing noises in my ears, and pains In the lock of my head. The effect to clear my head In tho morning by hawking and spitting was pain ful. Hood's Sarsaparilla gave me relief im mediately, while In time I was cutirely cured.
