The Flo*nh»im Contract is Just the Same as That Signed tor Tears Bach—What Mr. Floersheim Eu to Say—The Strike Settled. A member of the City Board of Gas Trustees was asked last evening if it was true, as alleged by "Inquirer” in this paper yesterday, that the Board had a bid from the Monongah Coal Company of SI.30 per ton, at the time the late contract was signed with Henry Floersheim. "Yes, sir, there was such a bid.” "Why was it not accepted?” "That we decline to say until we know who we are answering; then, if a reply Is necessary, we will make it as a body. We don’t think the coal com pany desire us to go into the matter.” "Is there anything peculiar about the Floersheim contract? Is the miners’ clause an unusual feature?” "Not at all. Here is the old contract between the Gas Trustees and Mr. Floersheim. It was made in 1685, and was signed, on behalf of the city, in that year, by Thomas H. Logan and the other then members of the Board. Here you will see that there Is a clause regarding the rates for miuing, and in addition a similar proviso regarding railroad freights. As you will observe, this con tract was renewed in 1886, and likewise in all the following years, up to and in cluding the year 1891. That doesn t look as if it was unusual, does It? We have been looking after the interests of the city of Wheeling in this matter, a* we do in all matters coming uuder our range of duties, aud the result, as I un derstand the strike has been settled at an advance of three and one-half cents a ton, is that we will get coal, oi nrst class quality, at, Si.37 this year, as against 81.45 V last year.” The Pittsburg Dispatch of yesterday contained the following of interest to Wheeling people, regarding the strike in general and tho Floersheim contract In particular: “A sensational feature developed In the miners’ strike y^terday, which involves the contract of tne Wheeling City Gas Board. As previously stated in the Dispatch, Henry Floersheim, of Findley vllle, granted the advance to his men. This put the operators on the run after him. He was taken into a meeting of the operators the latter part of the week, where an agreement was mado with him to the effect that if he with drew his consent to pay the 13 cents ad ditional for mining, the remaining oper ators who were working under the 79 cent arrangement would see that he did not get stuck ou his big Wheeling con tract. “Mr. Floersheim agreed to this at first and notified his men that on Mon day of this week they might expect to go back at 79 cents. In the meantime the number of mines that were in oper ation grew woefully small in the eyes of Mr. Floersheim and ho grew fearful that the other operators could not keep their pledge with him. Ho had about made up his mind to continue paying 92 cents and run the chance of losing a little money on the Wheeling contract when he received a letter from the Sec retary of the Wheeling City Gas Hoard, which read: “ ‘We want your coal and will have no other. If you are compelled to pay the advance, pay it bv all means and we will reimburse you.’ “This settled it so far as the agree ment between Mr. Floersheim and the other local operators was concerned, and his mines have been in continuous operation ever since the strike com menced. “Mr. Floersheim is In good spirits and does not seem to care how long the strike continues because he says he is repaying some of the operators who en deavored to take the Wheeling contract away from him this year. This, ho says, was done in this manner: When the Gas Hoard of Wheeling awarded the contract there was a combination formed among tho operators to have the price on this as well as, on similar con tracts fixed at about the same as last year, or perhaps a shade higher. “Mr. Floersheim refused to go Into the compact, and succeeded in carrying off the prize at Lis bid of 81.34, as against 81.45 per ton last year. There was naturally a good deal of disgust, he says, among those who were trying to manipulate the market so as to take tho largo contract from him. Hut he pro poses to run bis mines and pay the ad vances, because, ho says, they can pay 92 cents without losing very much mone^, and future contracts can be made accordingly. “J. Morton Hall was asked about the alleged combination of operators, and he dented that any compact had ever been- outered Into, lie said: ‘That Floersheim matter is entirely foreign to the present case. I take notice that Mr. Floersheim has not told how he got the Wheeling contract; and if the Gas Hoard of that city Is to pay the advance for him I cannot see how they are ahead on having a lower contract than last year. It has only been made about three weeks. Hesides. Mr. Floersheim has done the same kind of business him self. There is no change In the situa tion, and the operators are still willing to stand by the agreement.’ ” Clotting Out. 100 pairs of boys* regular $1.50 shoes I at 90 cents. 60 pairs of Misses’regular $1.25 shoes, at 98 cents. 90 pairs of Ladies’ Cloth Top $2 Shoes, at $1.35. 60 pairs of Men’3 $2.50 Shoes, re duced to SI.60.

The Trustess and Lady Managers of Altenheim met Tuesday afternoon and admitted two additional applicants to the Home. . . Henry Weisgerber has been chosen to the position of Superintendent of tne Water Works at the Home. Marriage Llcen* i. , A marriage license was issued yester day to Virginia Meyers, a native or Wheeling, and James Bodloy, a native of Wheeling; also, to John H. Howard, a native of Allegheny, aged 36, and Phebe Ann Smith, a native of \\neel ing, aged 19. The BUtelU. Chief Dclbrugge was advised by the Pennsylvania authorities early yester day morning that John Bistell, under arrest there, had made up his mind to , come back to this city without a requi sition, and the Chief went up to Monon gahela City after him. Mrs. Biste J was reported to have started for \\ heel ing Tuesday, but so far as is known has not since been heard from. • _ Dorse and Boggy Abandoned. Yesterday morning Officer Deku no ticed a horse and buggy standing in the rain in front of the City Hall, and as no one came for the animal after about four hours, the officer took it to Haud lan’s livery stable. Later word was telephoned from Luken’s livery stable that a man named McMcchen had hired the rig on Tuesday aud had failed to return it. The man has disappeared, and the presumption Is that the animal had been running around loose for some time. The Car Blockade Ordinance. A defect In the city ordinance relat ing to the blockading of streets by rail road cars has come to light. Yesterday a citizen applied at police headquarters for a warrant for the 15. & O. Company, for obstructing a street in the Sixth Ward, a car standing across the street. An examination of the ordinance show ed that the section relating to obstruc tions only named “locomotives ’ and “trains'of cars.” As a single car comes under neither of these heads, the war rant was refused, except on the condi tion that the plaintiff would give secur ity for the costs, iu case of a dismissal of the case. Squire Davis’ Court. George Weiss was arrested yesterday on a charge of stealing a lot of produce from a B. & 0. car on the night of the 6th inst. He was taken before Justice Davis who committed him to jail in de fault of $000 bond, for his appearance for a hearing this morning at ten o'clock. The stolen stuff consisted of two barrels of potatoes, one erato of eggs, one basket of butter and one box of chestnuts. The goods were shipped from Friendley, W. Va., and were con signed to P. Bachmann & Sons, of this city. The Jbox of chestnuts, worth about $(» or $7, was sold to an Italian fruit dealer for $2.G5. First Regular Meeting. The first regular meeting of St. Mat thew’s Chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrews was held last evening In one of the basement apartments of the church. Rev. Svope was present ard gave many valuable suggestions as the methods of carrying on the work. Three new members were admitted to the Chapter. Mr. Peebles Tatum was elected a delegate to the convention which meets at St. Louis on the 22d of October. The Rector was also elected a delegate, but ho will be unable to attend at this par ticular time, and Mr. Tatum will proba bly be the ouM$- representative from this city. It was decided to order a number of Chapter buttons to bo worn by the mem bers. There was also another commit tee appointed to be known as the Hotel Committee, their duty being to look after the strangers belonging to the Brotherhood who happen in the city. The rest of the business transacted was of a routine character. — • The High School Question. This evening there will be a meeting of the sub-committee of the Board of Education on Teachers and Schools to further discuss the High School pro ject. Since the last meeting of the full Board the matter has been consid erably discussed by citizens generally, aud It is believed the members of the committee aro fully alive to the import ance of the movo. The members of the committee are Messrs. Park, Dickey, Bloch, Menkrmlller, Estruth gnd Miller. Davis was until recently on the committee, but he has now taken up location In another city. It is ktiown that Messrs. Park, Dickey and Bloch are solidly in favor of a high school, and possibly Estruth. Miller is likely to present arguments in the other direction, while Menkemiller is not fully satisfied in his own mind as to the ad vantages of such an Institution. It is hoped that such arguments will be pre sented as cannot fail to convince the whole committee. This meeting of the committee is preparatory to a meeting of the full Board on the 15th Inst. Elks Will Jubilate To-Night. The Wheeling Elks will have a stag social to-night at Arion Hall. It prom ises to be one of the most entertaining of the many socials given by this popu lar organization.

Commencing at 11 o’clock, however, the roof will be tied on, and the social session, open to a few invited guests outside the lodge, will begin.

Mr. I Munroe has accepted the invitation to | be present, and will repair to Arion Hall immediately after the performance J to-cight, together with several of his supporting artists.

The Aliasing Boy, George Botler, Found iu a Water Clouet. Soon after noon yesterday the father of the colored boy, George Butler, whose sudden and mysterious disap pearance was noted in the Reoistek yesterday morning, found the youngster iu a water closet, on Morrow street, wltbiu twenty yards of the boy’s home. He had been in there since five o’clock Monday evening, and was almost over come from the combined effects of hun ger, thirst, sleeplessness and the nox ious fumes he had been compelled to breath for nearly forty hours. The boy was scarcely able to speak when found, but was taken at once to his home, where he revived under treatment. He said that when he was sent to the Fourteenth street spring for water he stopped in the place, pulling the door shut after him. When he tried to get out, he found he could not open the door, and his cries for help were not heard. CIRCUIT COURT. The Business TranMcfrd Before Jnd^e Paul), Yesterday.
