THE PETITION PRESENTED AT TEE CITY HALL. LAST NIGHT. C-'tmcilmtn Fit jr Asking tb« legislature to Change the Present Limit from Eight Wards to Ten. and Take in Fulton. Messrs. Brandfass ami Farrell, of the Council Committee on Legislation, assembled last night to eontinue the work of discussing the proposed amend* menu to the city charter, but no official action could be taken, owing to the ab sence of a iiuorum. There appeared before the Committee Messrs. Jacob Jefferson, J. A. Britt and B. W. Frame, a committee from citi zens living aiound the hill, who pre sented the oetltlou referred to in this paper yesterday morning, asking for the '-rva.iou of a Ninth ward, l'he petition, which was signed by ttfit) voters, was as follows: "TV ll<e Honorable Manor ami Council of the City of Wheeling: “Grsi i.kmkn Your petitioners would respectfully ask that you take such actiou as would constitute the followiugdescribcd boundaries iuto a separate ward, to be called tne N intb ward of the city of Wheel ing: "From the north side of Sixteenth street east to the limits of the corporation, west to alley < J, north from alley G to amt along Grandview street to the National pike, uud eust from that poiut to the eastern line of the corporation. “Our reasons for making this appeal, are, we think, sufficient to justify a favorable consideration at your hands. The portion of the city lying ou the eastern slope of Wheeling Hill, to the eastern boundary of the city, are small portions of several wurds. from the larger and more import ant parts of which they are separated by the hill. They are isolated from aud at a loin? distance from the voting precincts, which is the cause of very great iueonveu lence to the people represented. We, be lieving that the interests of our part of the community iu every respect will be better served, and presenting the fact that this portiou of the city is rapidly growing, would respectfully ask your honorable body to favorably consider our appeal.’’ The gentlemen presenting this peti tion supplemented it by a verbal expla nation of their present situation and de sires. They stated there would be about .ioo voters w ithin the boundaries of the proposed new ward, with a total popu lation of about “,500. The citizens of that part of the city felt that they did not got their just share of the public improvements or of the general expen ditures of public money, there being no oh to loo . after their interests, while if constituted into a separate ward the situation would he materially and im mediately improved. The two gentlemen of the Committee thought very favorably of the matter, and there w as a general discussion of it, during which it was suggested that, as nothing could be done until the Legis atun loot emended the present law, limiting the city to eight wards, it would be a good thing to raise the limit from eight to ten, and set on foot an effort looking to having the town of Fulton brought into the city. There was a general discussion of the matter, ex tending over some time, during which the ( ouncilmeu agreed that the claim of Mes-rs. Jefferson, Britt and Frame was ba»< d upon just and reasonable grounds and ought to be granted. There being no iiuorum of the Com mittee, nothing could be done officially, but Messrs. Brandfass and Farreli agreed to bring the matter up in Coun cll. Col. White submitted a draft of a bill designed to better explain the existing law in the matter of appeals from the Police Court to the Circuit Court, and it was approved. HOLD TUB 1NOI KST TO-DAY. Squire Srliull . e Talk* About That B. A O. Accident. Tin- article published iti yesterday's Rm.i-tki: on the much-talked-of II. A 0. accident, and alluding to the inde cision of Cororner Schultze in the mat ter of holding an inquest, was not in tended to reflect upon this official's abil ity. or upon his knowledge as to how an inquest should be conducted. It -imply called attention to the pres ent case, and the law was quoted at the request of many who were clamor ing to have the method of proceedure made doubly emphatic. Coroner Schultze called at the Rki.is i kk office, last evening, to say that the delay in holding the inquest was caused wholly by the difficulty in obtaining tes timony. He said be woiiid have held the inquest the night of the accident if In- could have obtained sufficient testl i inony, but only olio man could be found, i Charlie Mociikcmilier, who could tell I much about it. and theu only the out* I line* of the affair. Coroner Schultze said he had talked with Mr. Stevciison, of the 1!. A O., and ’ iiiat they had had a discussion as to i who should pay the expense of the tn Iquest, which will probably not be far from Slia*. Coroner Schultze seemed to think that if the railroad company was criminally negligent they should be made to pay the expenses of the inqu.st. It is quite generally understood, hoV ever, in cases of this kiud, that the coiiuty foots the bills an the inquest. The Coroner assures us that Con-ta bic Richard Bocpkey will impanel a jurv this forvnoou, ami that the inquest will be held at his ('Squire Scliultze's) office at 1:30 this afternoon, 'i'lii polls will be open t-o-dav. at the utual voting places in the several dis tricts in this county, between the hours of 7:23 a. m. and 4:4« p. in., for the elec tion of a State Senator. Vote for Frank \V. Stewart. To Heal Kstate Owners. Docs it pay you to manage your own property? If you want to sell, do you think you could sell for as much and as soon as an agent who has had years of experience in sidling property in all parts of the city, and one that also knows who are buyers, one who will ad vertise your property, make out deed, and attend to all the details of a sale without auy trouble or expense to you? Does it pay you to rent your property when you can, for a small commission, employ an agent who, with fourteen years of experience in this city of rent ing houses and doing general collecting, can place a tenant in your property at the highest rents paid, and rent to ten ant- who pay the rent? The loss of one month's rent will more than pay the agent's commission for the whole year. I am responsible for every dollar col lected, v,hich will insure you prompt settlements.

The Head of tlie wheellug Female Col lege to Seek Other Field*. Rev. H. R. Riaisdell, President of the Wheeling Female College, has resigned, and after Monday next tho doors of the well-known institution will lie closed in definitely. Mr. Riaisdell gives as one of his reasons for resigning the fact that the winter here is too severe, and that. lie ha* suffered considerably from It. [ Another reason alleged by Prof. Rlais- , dell is that the institution lias not been j paying what ho expected. The original 1 intention of the College was to attract scholars from distant cities as well as from Wheeling. Rut this feature of the school has not been remarkably success- , fill. Mr. Blalsdell’s former home was in Kentucky, and he has been couuected with the school nearly four years. Mr. Riaisdell says he has three offers now pending, one from Kentucky anil two from Tennessee, but lias not decided which one he will accept. One of the offers is from a well-known Southern female college. Mrs. Riaisdell is now visiting her son in the East.
