meats of ii»» Legislative Ooinmitt»e—The
Nt.v Standing Committr**.
There was a good attendance at the j
regular meeting of the Trade- Assembly
yesterday. President u Learv occupied j
the t'jja.r. and Secretary Salisbury wa<
at his desk with his usual promptness.
The lir't business of the meeting was !
the admission of ne.v delegates, and
there were admitted from Friendship
1. . ige No. Iron and Steel Workers,
from the Tobacco Workers’ I'nion. and
the Laborer* I nion. of Martin's Ferry.
The special committee appointed to j
visit Ueymann’s brewery reported pro-|
5less. The boycott was raised from tie ,
Martin's Ferry Milling Co. and also!
from John Swager. a teamster of the
same place.
' The West Virginia Legislative Com-'
inlttee reported that everything was in
readiness on the ballot reform move- t
merit, and that the printed petitions,
now in tlie hands of the printers, would ;
soon tie ready to send out through the j
State for signatures. The committee is
desirous of bringing the movement be
' fore the legislature this season.
The proposed new ordinance concern
ing an inspector of food next came un
der consideration, and was referred to
tile Legislative Committee, to rejiort
: upon.
There was a whole butch of communi
, cations from lodges In different cities
referring to the boycott on tire John II.
Stetson Hat Company, of Philadelphia,
and requesting that the lodges here
look into the matter to see whether or
no any of the stores arc veiling their
goods. Judging from the toue of one
of the communications the Stetson linn
is determined to hold out, and tin* le ad
of the firm ha-< eveu gone >o far as to
provide for a continuance of the situa
tion aft* r liis death, and has requested
of his successors that they employ no
mi <>n nii'n.
An effort was niaiii' to take up the
miners* trouble at Kim drove, but it
!aileii. It was reported that there was
an organizer in town trying to bring the
mnehiuisis ami moulders into an a*-soci
ation. but nothing deljnite concerning
his effort' was known.
Secretary Salisbury was instrueted to
look over the reeords to inquire into the
full text of the agreements eonlained in
the resolution whieh wai drawn up
about the time of the Inception of the
Wheeling and Harrisburg ltuilr>>adCom
pany. now the Terminal Railroad
Company. The instructions to
this iu<|iiiry into the records
I grew out of tile schedule of toll now be
ing charged to < ro" the bridge. At
the time the i|uesliuu of raising the
s.ioo.uoo in Ohio county came up, the
matter was considerably discussed bv
the Trades Assembly which resulted in
| tin- draw ijjg uii of a resolution, whieh
.1 was understood at that lime was mu*
' tually satisfactory to the railroad com
pany and to the Assembly, ll was
| upon tlies,* grounds that the movement
was favored by the Assembly, and for
I which reasons they gave their support
.and influence among tip* laboring
| classes. The resolutions were to the
i effect that none but union men
were to be employed on the
j construction of the bridge, or more
especially that no Italians were
to be given employment. Rut for do
ing certain kinds of work about the
bridge it was found by the company im
practicable to exclude Italians, as other
workmen could not be iound with the
same staying <|tialitles. This departure
from the resolution was overlooked by
the Assembly. Another point in the
resolution was that a foot-walk should
be constructed across the bridge, which
lias been done, and in the matter of toll,
which is the point in ijuestion, the reso
llution stated that the toll was to be
' but one cent each way, and twenty-live
cents a month for families. It was re
ported at the meeting yesterday that
passengers over the bridge were being
charged J cents one way or .*« cents the
round trip, and also that special laborers
tickets were being sold at the rate of
from on to *vs for Si.no. In view of this
report the Secretary was requested to
! communicate with Judge Cochran for
an explanation of the matter.
The legislative committee was re
;,|nested to look into the proposed con
solidation of the Street car lines, and to
procure an exact copy of the bill in or
der that the Assembly may pass judg
ment upon the matter.
President O'Leary then appointed the

A special Seriuon to Young Men by Be*.
Alforil LiihI Ni|(lit •
In the Third Presbyterian Church
last evening. Rex. Alford, tho pastor,
delivered a special serinou to young
men, taking for his theme “Searching
the City.”
“This searching of cities has been
going on since the time Jerusalem was
scan lied for a true man. What we need
in our cities is men, not apologies, for
they are found on every -trect corner,
but men of character, men of influence
and true worth, l ivery profession except
the ministry is to-day overcrowded, hut
ilo uot be discouraged; there is a de
mand in every profession for one who i>
a real man, with a noble, earnest pur
pose and a true aim. You cannot be a
true mail and let sin got the mastery
aver you. When you allow >!u to rule
your life you crucify manhood.
I do not say that if sin conquers you
you cannot gain wealth and worldly
power. Sin has almost as great power
now as in the days of Jeremiah. It goes
iinrcbukcd. The minister of the gos
pel is still, lest wealthy pew holders
should withdraw their support: nctvspa
l»ers are quiet, lest they lose subscrib
es: political parties arc silent, for fear
>f losing votes: but all tin* time (iod's
wrath is gathering, and some day the
•loud xvili break.
I wish every young man could realize
what con diets he had to pass through
:o bo a man in the full sense of the word.
We all go forth into life as the gladiator
iteps into the arena; as he starts the con
liet xvith the wild beasts, tin* eyes of the
ipoctators are closed; so it i* with our
'rlends when we enter the conflict with
euiptation, and we are more careful
when their eyes are upon us. If we
succeed, the result is manhood, pure
ind noble.
The search is going on for men who
ire faithful, and for men who are not
ifraid to show their colors. It is very
mnianly and cowardly to deny moral
ind religious principles when they de
naud assertion. Some persons will talk
•eliglou among religious people, and in
idelity among iulidcls. They could
hed tear* at a revival meeting, and
augh boisterously at a low variety
I'oung mau, remember the sin of last
lit. of to-night, of to-morrow night
I reach over ten thousand years, into
real, unending eternity. Ibnl may
•don sin, but it leaves its- scar. Hod
y pardon you of your sins, but undo
thing' of the past he never will, and
i never can.

H« a Believed to b» aa Illinois Murderer—Curious
Situation at Parkersburg—A Preacher
Breaks Dp a Dance—Burned
to Death.
On Sunday last a man calling himself
John Stevens was lodged in the I-ewis
burg jail upon the charge of carrying
concealed weapons ami having in his
possession burglar's tyols. lie was sus
pected of the murder of James Rogers,
of Jersey county. Illinois, in August
last, and for the capture of whom a re
ward of *7oo is ’offered. He answers
the description of S. A. Shaw, the inan
who committed the murder, to a nicety.
He Las been camped in the woods, about
three miles from the White Sulphur
Springs, since last fall, lie had dug a
hole In the hillside in which he stayed,
even during the recent snow storm, go
I ingout at night to purchase something
I to eat. He had a Winchester rifle, a
J revolver, a razor, four knives (three of
which had been converted into saws,)
a large bunch of skeleton keys and bur
glar’s tools. He makes contradictory
statesments in regard to himself, and
altogether is a very suspicious charac
ter. He was arrested by Messrs. F.
Woods and J. M. Dickson, of White
Sulphur district, and taken before Jus
tice Z. F. Morris, who committed him
to jail. The Illinois authorities have
been communicated with. Several
packages of dry goods were found se
creted in various places about his camp.
He evidently thought that the killing
of a negro was a praise-worthy act in
that section, and tried to appeal to the
sympathies of ids captors by saying
he was the man who killed the negro at
Hinton a few weeks since, but when
asked how lie killed the negro He replied
that he shot him. When lie learned
that the killing had been done with a
knife, he transferred the scene to
Brownstown.
A peculiar case was developed at Par
kersburg Friday morning. A man
named Williams was arrested for selling
silverware without a license. Williams
said he wanted to earn money for bis
siek wife. When the officers visited his
house a woman was found lying on two
boxes apparently sick. No food was in
lhe house and everything indicated the
most abject poverty. A closer examin
ation resulted in the discovery of an old
trunk, and in it was a small fortune, it
was filled in one part with costly lace
curtains and shawls, and expensive silks
and satins, in another part were a
great many sets of expensive silverware.
The officers continued their search and
found a tin box full of money,including a
a great many twenty dollar gold pieces,
silver dollars and a large roll of green
backs in hundreds and fifties. The
total amount was well up into the thou
sands, and yet in every other particular
poverty reigned supreme. The "find''
nonplussed tin* officers, 'liio woman
said the money was her sister's and the
man said it was his wife’s. He said he
hud brought the money from Scotland
and bought the lace from iiis uncle.
The man was released, as no charge
! was brought aguiust him. but the police
j are watching the house. II- lias since
i said ho could have produced ten times
; as much moneyas ho did. had it been
| necessary.
| After the close of the services at the
M. E. Church (colored) on Thursday
night, the pastor -poke of Hie small
turnout and w as informed that a dance
was In progress on a back street at the
residence of Silva Ford, where they are
held quite frequently of late. He dis
missed the congregation and selecting
several of his brethren, repaired to tin
place nf mirth: without any warning to
those enjoying an “Old Virginia break
down,” (for the house was crowded) the
Rev. Mr. Brown led the way and enter
ed singing, “A Charge to Keep I Have."
Before the fir-t verse was finished he
had the house to himself and party, for
the company dispersed in all dircc
j tions, while Silva was kept busy hand
< ingout hats, clonks and shawls. A fer
| vent prayer was offered for the inmates
of the house and company: another
hymn was sung. "Must I Be to .lodg
ment Brought," and the minister with
his party retired amid a show er of oaths,
epithets and profane language, the like
of which lias not been beard in tills
town ill two generations.--Ibmnty /<(

Prom the Shci>hcnl»tmcn Uiylster we
learn that Muster Deorge Khnes, aged
eight years, was leading a cow to water
by a chain halter, lie put the halter
on bis own neck, too. The cow became
frightened and ran, dragging him a con
siderable distance. But for the inter
vention of Butler Marshall, who put his
hat over the cow’s eyes and drove her
into a fence corner, the hoy would have
been killed. Ueorge presented a -hock
ing appearance. . lie was almost choked
to death and was covered with blood
from the numerous cuts he had received
as he was dragged over the stones, lie
was taken home and Dr. Reynolds called
in. Although suffering from innumer
able cuts and bruises, it is thought that
(leorge’s injuries will not prove to be
very serious.
The Red Men have again taken (lie
warpatli in Wirt coqnty. Friday night
John Barton and James Ballard, who re
sided near McClains, that comity, were
taken out of their shanty where they

“daredevils" but wen* unable te swear
to but one, Oscar Kelley. He had a ,
hearing before Squire tlrant, who, upon I
ids failure to give bond for his appear
ance at the next grand jury, sent him to ’
jail. The Jackson Hcmhl says: “While
a trio of Wiseberg young men were in
an uninhabited shanty the other night
roasting chickens they were taken in
charge by a dozen masked men and two
of them severely withed."

count of several attempts that were
made recently in that place to blow up
certain buildings with dynamite. On

On January !» the fifteen-year-old
daughter of Isaac Hastings, of the
Laurel Iron Works, l’reston county,
while alone in the room, came too near
the lire and her clothing caught tire.
Her screams brought her elder sister to
the scene, but too late to render any
aid. The little girl was so badly burned
that she died soon ofter. The family
dog happened to be in the room at the
time and attempted with mouth and
claws to tear the burning clothes from
the girl, even after the older sister ar
rived. The poor brute was terribly
burned in his efforts to save the girl.
