Ijs Grippe Successfully Treated. “I have just recovered from a second attack of the grip this year.” says Mr. Jas. O. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia. Texas. “In the latter case 1 used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days, against ten days for tbo first attack. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy, as I had to go to bed iu about six hours after being ‘struck’ with it. while in the first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting down.”1 50 cent bottles for sale by druggists.

MADE FOR THE CITY ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT BY THE GAS TRUSTEES. Mr. Albert Capps Superintendent, and Frank Dun levy His Assistant—Important Committee Meetiigs Last Evening. Councilman Albert Capps is entitled to tbe congratulations of bis friends ibis morning. • He has received the appointment of Superintendent of the city electric light plant, aud will enter upon the discharge of his duties in a short time, at first in the employ of the Fort Wayne Electric' Light Company, during the period of forty days, during which that Company, under its contract, must run the plant, and then will manage the concern for the city. The appointment was made by the Board of Gas Trustees, which body was given the control of the plant at the last session of Council, aud it will be universally recognized a happy recognition of hard work done by the recipient for the city, not only in con nection with electric light matters, but as regards genera! busiuess. Mr. Capps is already very thoroughly conversant with the plant, having worked upon the installation from the day the first pole was shaved up to the present, and al most every detail of the pole lino con struction has been done under his ob servation. He will follow the wires right into the power house, and in a short time will be as familiar with tho appa ratus and machinery there. In addition to selecting Mr. Capps as Superintendent, the Board has installed Mr. Frank Dunlevy as Assistant. He is a very capable man. A fireman was also appointed in the person of Michael ; Maloney. The engineer has not yet been selected, nor have the lamp-trim mers, those appointments being deferred until another time. There are about one hundred and fifty applications in all before the Board for the various places to be filled. TIIE INCANDESCENT PLANT. The City’s Valuation Will Be in the Neighborhood of $25,000 The Rkuistku is able to announce this morning that the forthcoming re port of the expert employed by the sub committee of the Electric Light Com mission to make an appraisement of the value of so much of the Wheel ing Electrical Company’s plant as is used for incandescent lighting, will fix the value of the property at about 925,000. So far the total is about 524,000, and there yet remains some 1 items to be inserted in the schedule. 1 The city’s expert, Mr. John A. Seeley— who, it Is proper to say, furnished no part of this information, directly or in directly—has been at work upon this ap praisement at odd limes for a good while back, and now bus the work on the verge of completion. It is likely that his complete report will be presented to the Commission at an early day, and will co thence to Council for reference to the Finance Committee, which body will provide the ways and means nec essary to make the purchase uuder the Estate law. THE POLICE COMMITTEE. The City Prison to he Inspected—Ap pointments Confirmed. The Council Committee on Police met last evening, and took up as the princi pal matter of business, the condition of the City Prison, attention being directed towards it by a communication from Chief McXichol, who made an inspec tion of the building, as is required of him by the new ordinance. The workhouse has been condemned by successive Committees of Council, and by Superintendents, for years past, and its horrors have been an old stand by for the newspapers of the city for ton years. As long ago as 1882 the con dition of the prison was a matter well ventilated through the press, and annu ally since that time reporters hard up for space-tillers have dwelt upon the horrors of the interior of the building, and presented statistics of the probable number of active representatives of in sect life therein contained. This being so, the assurance from the Chief, last even ing, that the building was in danger of falling down, and that it was not a tit place to confine men, was accepted as strictly correct, and led to a discussion in Committee as to the advisability of asking for an appropriation for a new buiidiug. The Committee felt, how ever, they could discuss this point more intelligently after a visit to the orison, aud next Wednesday at 4 o’clock p. m. was fixed upon as a time for a trip to the place. In his letter to the Commit tee the Chier said the place was very clean, but was dangerous, one of the chimneys threatening to fall and mash the house. Tn<* tniei also maue a repum as iu , the condition of the city lock-up, draw- j ing attention to the fact that water ran ; into the room from without the walls on occasions of heavy rain. I was ed nouuced that the Committee on Real Estate had asked for an appropriation to rectify this evil. The appointments of Joseph Fahey and Albert Stump as regular police offi cers, and John Reitz as extraroan, were recommended to Council for continua tion. . Tne Chief’s report for February was presented, and Lieut. Gau>, the scribe, was complimented upon his neat work. Fines aggregating $2,102.95 were as sessed. of which sum SI,558 were actu ally paid, by 155 defendants. Forty were committed, 22 suspended and 14 dismissed. Officer Deku presented a petition for , forty-four days pay, saying he had re- j ceived an injury to his arm while in the | discharge of bis duty. The matter was laid aside for investigation. Bills aggregating $40.90 were rec ommended for payment. The Superintendentof the City Prison submitted a report showing 9 prisoners February 1st, and 45 received during the month. The time of 14 expired and 24 were released, leaving 16 in prison March 1st. City Prison bills aggregat ing SS9.11 were passed. Chairman Happy. Chief McNichol, the Superintendent of the Workhouse and the Clerk were apDointed a com mittee to prepare the annual estimates for the police department and the work house. THE CITY CEMETERY. A Map of the Burial Ground to be Made. The Anuual Entizuate. The Council Committee on Cemeteries met last night and asked for an appro priation for 1S92 of $1,360, which is $40 less than last year. Among the items is one for an assistant Sexton during the five months beginning May 1st, and an other of $165 for a map of the cemetery, o be prepared by the City Surveyor. This latter is something which is great iy needed. Bill* aggregating $8 were ordered paid. TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.

The Net Gains in the County Nearly a Million and a Hall—The Figures in Detail. Mr. C. S. Terrill, appointed to make the valuation of the real estate of the Second assessment district of Ohio coun ty, which includes the Tour districts of Liberty, Ritchie, Richland and Triadel phia, yesterday turned his books over to County Clerk Hook. The total value of the realty of his district is §4,053,010, an increase of §109,750. This, added to the increase of §1,376,430 returned by Mr. Phillips.for the first llistrict, makes a total increase for the couuty of SI,486,ISO. The figures returned by Mr. Terrill are very significant in this: that they show a heavy failing off in values of realty in the purely agricultural re gions of the county. Hi9 increase comes entirely from the city district jf I Ritchie, and the region aloug the Na tional road, in Tri&delphia district, where many fine residences, built by city people, are going ud. and where the value of land—not used for agricul tural purposes—has very largely in creased of recent years. This increase in Triadelphia is represented oy §93, 875, and is the only in crease in all that part of Ohio county, representing an area of 05,000 acres, lying outside the city of Wheeling. In the agricultural district of Liberty, the shrinkage is $110,180, aud in the agricultural district of Rich land it is $95,890, or a total of $205,070 in those two districts. These districts have an area of 38,052 acres, and the de creased valuation is thus about $5.25 per acre. Thousands of acres in the farming section of Triadelphia fall off in the same way, and were it not for the heavy increase in the value of resi dence and prospective residence proper ty along the pike, the totai for that dis trict would show the same decrease as in Richland and Liberty. These figures are not particularly encouragiug to the farming population of Ohio county. In the city, Ritchie district shows an increase of $221,925, and this added to the increase of $1,376,430 in the city districts of Washington, Madison, Clay, Union, Centre and Webster, as returned by Assessor Phillips, shows a total in crease for the city of Wheeling of $1,598,355, and a net gain for the whole county of $1,486,ISO, as stated at the outset. The figures in detail for the second district are as follows: Building* Bni'dinns it /own Inc. or District*, and Land. Lots To'dl Dsc.
