Th?»ii|;lit lit* W«> Yesterday morning just before six o’clock a telephone message called two officers to the corner of Main and Twelfth streets. There they found a stranger, who subsequently gave the name of Peter PetTer, holding on to another stranger, and insisting that he had been robbed.

The I’r.fpfMCil Merlrlc I iulit J*l;&nt To flu Ed •tor i »f tK* ReqUl'r: Sit::- Io the estimates of cost of an electrical plant published in this (Wed nesday) morning’s paper, the cost of a house and boilers is put down at ahout '-.'ii.iioo. if the removal of th<* water works pumping house to some point above the eity limit- is earried out next summer, the present pumping station will be vacated. In It are lliree batteries of as good boilers as are to be found in the city, and the house would be admir ably suited for, an electrical station. The location of the house is such that In* objection to an electrical station as i*i its . ffoet on adjoining property would not apply to it. A foundation for the dynamos and machinery ou solid rock can also be had there. In ;:aotli**r part of your paper is a no tice of a plan to run elevators by elec tricity. If tins city erects a plant to light the city streets, why should rot tin* pinv r to run elevators by electricity be furnished by that plant? The citv now furnishes water t i run elevators at a price below what it costs to pump and distribute it. If the eity i ould ftu nish cioorioity as a mot.ivi . power .»r le-.s than the pre.-ent- price charged for water, both the consumer and the city would be the gainers. The city would save the present loss on fur nishing water and also make a profit on the electricity, and the consumer would be beuefitted by the difference in price *if ti*** tiie two motive powers charged by the city. Will Council consider those subjects when examining the lighting of her streets by electricity? If there is noth ing in them for the city, there will be no harm done in investigating the matter and deciding so. Nothing can be done this winter, at least by the present Council, and tin* water question will be before the next Council soon after its organization. Bull: subjects should be considered to gether as a largo expenditure of money is involved in them. X. *•" * IIkaoaciI!:, Neuralgia, Dizziness. Ner vousness, Spasms.

Which Everybody Must Kmlnrie hh liclnc Absolutely Correct. To have been continuously in one bus iness for forty years, is a great record. To have labored Incessantly, intelli gently and conscientiously for four de cades, to bring to perfection any article of manufacture, is something of which •my manor association of men could , well be proud; while it goes without j saying that anything upon which all this wealth of labor, experience and in | telligent effort lias been lavished, must ! ;it least have a foremost place, among i articles of its class and kind. To have strived ceaselessly for almost halfaccn i turj in behalf of any device means th it i. lias been brought to a stage very near j | perfect ion. and this inevitable result has j followed the endeavors of those of I j which we write. ! Prior io 18.10 the gentlemen now coin-' i prising the firm of Kranich A Bach, pi- j | ano manufacturers, were engaged with ) the then celebrated tirm of Steinway *v j I Sons, where they mastered tin* art ot j 1 pianoforte making. Thun tlmy left the | i linn mentioned, and began to tnanufac-! ntre pianos for themselves, in :i <jni< t | i and modest sort of way, aiming to turn [ lout an instrument which should possess j fall the good qualities of any other on j ' tlie market, anil in addition such im-j I proveuicnts as were suggested hy an j ! already large experience, aud the result! of this endeavor, steadily adhered to j through a long series of years, has i been such that to-day they maim- i fai lure an instrument which is uni- j versally recognized to be fully up [to the standard, and satisfying! all the r*•lufretuents of the most exact ing musician. Experts in their profes sion, they are the acknowledged author-1 itieson every and any point connected j with the mechanism of the piano. The reputation of the house of Krauich & j Bach among piano makers and the trade is of the highest, and whenever dealers or rival uianiifactur* rs speak of j, them, it is always to this elfect: “Yes, | they build a good, honest piano." That; expression embodies the highest praise I given in any business. ami sufficiently j fixes the position of »lie firm in th-“ i piano manufacturing world. This piano was introduce! into ' Wheeling by l\ W. IJaunier & Co. about i: i ten years ago, and so phenomenal was . its success that it soon occupied a pu.-t ! tion never before obtained by any piano. The result is that to-day there are more , Kranieli ,C llaeh pianos in actual use ; in Wheeling than of any other make — : ;i thing that speaks for itself. lint ihe strongest recommendaiion for i this piano is afforded in the fact that I they are used, preferred ami recom jmended bv the principal teachers of music in our city. i Messrs. !•'. W. Ilatimer ,v tu. offer | these pianos at such prie< s and on such terms as to bring them within the reach I of every one who wants a good, honest ; piano, a< every on<‘ desiring an Instru ! ment does. • Call and iiear these superb instrii- 1 incuts, and secure one before the boli- i day season. i> 1.11 K is misery <o thousands of people who have the taint of scrofula in their blood.

THE GOOD WORK ' o? developing wssr virgin:* going brave ly ON. C'l. Bsoj. Wiista Talks ALjut the W.-st Virginia aad Pittsburg Extension t> the Psra sylvaaia State Lias. Col. Itcnj. Wilson arrlv< d in the • • ity yesterday from Pittsburg. Th> Colonel is looking remarkably well, and is deeply interested in tin sueeoss of some of the railroad enterprises now being worked out in the interior of this State, realizing very fully, as every d! corning citizen does, that they m< .11 great things in the way of the future prosperity of West Virginia. To a re porter of the Rimsti 1: the Colonel said: “Senator Davis ami .Mr. Elkins are very seriously considering an extension of their West Virginia and Pittsburgh road, from Elkins to the Pennsylvania State line, and I have not the slightest doubt but that a very short time will see siii'li a line completed. Two routes are now under consideration. One is for the road to cross over from Elkins, through a low gap* across to the valley of Elk creek, and thence, byway of Clarksburg, along the west bank of West Fork to Fairmont, and on up through Marion and Monongalia to the Pennsj ivanla line. The other route. i from Elkins down the west side of the Valley river to Fairmont, and thence tin; same way as the tir<t. Of these two routes tin- West Fork river lino is perhaps the better, out both open upa large extent of Hue country, and would be very valua ble roads. The matter is receiving very earnest consideration, and one or the other of these lines will surely be built In t he not far distant fut ure.’’ “How about that part of the line from the Pennsylvania line on to Pittsburg?" “That Is a matter for the Pennsylva nia people to determine, who are very much interested In such a road." “Von are not in a position to say how soon the work of construction will be gin? ‘ “No, sir; I cannot do that, but I should say that it will not be long instil i decisive movement is mad'. The peo ple favor it, Messrs. Davis and Elkins believed it is a great thing, and the Pittsburg and Pennsylvania interests generally would welcome such a road." Col. Wilson is much interested in the railroad development In t he Immediate vicinity of Wheeling, and made many inquiries concerning the terminal sys tem, and kindred matters. Col. l.}iicli la Town. i Co!. \Y. A.
