The Building Nearly Completed, But Not Quite. The Reason For the Delay—A Glance Through the Edifice. The Board of County Commissioners has rescinded its action, taken at the last regular meeting, designating next Monday as the date for the transfer of the prisoners from the old to the new jail, and the date has been left open, making it probable that at least two weeks, and perhaps some days longer, will elapse before the change Is made. This action was made necessary by the fact that the building could not be com pletely fitted up in time. This Is not the fault of the contractors, nor of the architect, nor even of the Board itself. It doesn’t appear to be any one’s fault. At the time the order was made designating the last day of October as the date of removal it was thought by all connected with the construction of the edifice that there would be nodifficulty In hav ing all the details completed, but some additional work was determined upon In the meantime, and there was a delay in fitting up the cells, especially iu the matter of bunks, which made it, if not impossible, at least inconvenient to transfer the prisoners on the day named. The sample of bunks submitted by the Van Dorn iron works did not meet the approval of the Board, and others had to bo made. These have not been completed, and it :s a little uncertain when they will bo received. Some miner fixtures in the nlsn rAmfiin to hfi I’laced ill DOSi tion, but they are matters of small mo meat, and will take but little time. Yesterday evening seventy-live of the eighty cells In the main cell building were ready for the bunks, and the oth ers will doubtless be completed lo-day. The ventilating apparatus is working nicely, making the interior of the build ing warm, and drying it out nicely, but some of the plastering is a little greeu as yet, aud there will be a noticeable dampness for several weeks. Tne jailer’s residence is complete, and can bo moved Into at once, If it was de sirable. It Is a fine building, contain ing, besides the kitchen, which Is fitted up with a massive steel range and all conveniences, three large rooms and a hall on the first floor and three bed chambers and a bath room, besides halls and several closets on the second, aud will make a commodious and pleasant residence. It is entirely cut off from the jail proper, save by one door-way, open ing into the guard room, and this open ing Is closed by a massive steel door. Tbe front building, devoted to vari ous offices on the first and second floors, is still in a rather chaotic condition, the plasterers and plumbers not hav ing quite* finished their work, and the mantels remaining to go up. In the basement of thi9 building, down in a region which Is as dark as the interior of the proverbial cow, the padded cells for violent lunatics are complete, as are the dungeons for re fractory prisoners, who may need to be shut up there to ruminate ubon the error of their ways. The padded cells aro lined with the stoutest duck, tightly stuffed with excelsior, walls and floors aline, and a man can bounce himself about in them like a rubber ball, with out Jarring hi9 constitution very seri ously. The dungeons have a door at each end, so that a man who refuses to behave himself can be attacked front and rear by those having him In charge. The large room In the basement of the tower, designed for the detention of witnesses under certain circumstances, Is also complete, as Is the laundry, aud up next the roof the department for female prisoners and the hospital is in good shape, and will be ready in time. The hath room for the prlsouers, In the basement of the cell building, has been fitted up with three tubs and plenty of cold wa ter, and is ready to commence opera tions. In all there are five bath tubs about the building, and cleanliness is one of tbe things which will be insisted upon. The whole outfit Is one entirely cred itable to the couuty, the contractor, the architect, and the Board, and when the public is admitted for an inspection of the building there will, no doubt, be a general concurrence in this view. EDUCATIONAL DOINGS. What Has Transpired In a General Way Auioug the Schools. After a week’s enjoyment among the scholars in preparing for the “Colum hinn Ttav eeli'hratinn.” thev found it | somewhat difficult to get down to hard I work agaiu. The work being doubly hard on account of the entire week being devoted to the first of the bi monthly written examinations of this term. The examinations wero about all completed yesterday. The reports will be sent to the parents on Monday, the last day of the month. Throughout all the schools the toachers have noted marked improvement in various grades | over that of last year. This is certainly a good showing for the first term of school. In some of the schools work for the World’s Fair has already been com menced. The teachers should read with care State Superintendent B. S. Mor gan’s editorial in the October number of the West Virginia School Journal, in which he says: “The character of our State educa tional exhibit will depend very largely upon the promptness and readiness with which the teachers, superintend ents and scholars respond to the re quests of the World’s Fair managers. This work has been begun a little late, and the teachers and scholars must therefore begin the work of preparation promptly and push it vigorously. Many of the older States issued their circulars of lnstructious to teachers relative to this work as early as last March.” The schools in the city here not hav ing commenced their preparation should commence at once, as over half of the work could be &:complished before Christmas. We are all naturally Inter ested In toe schools and want our State to have an educational display that will be on a par with any other State in the Union. i The grammar department teachers of the city met at Superintendent Ander son’s office on Thursday afternoon. The teachers of Washington school meet every Friday afternoon in the principal’s office, and review the studies in which they are to be exam ined at the end of the school year. The A and B divisions of Webster school held a meeting on Thursday. Prof. Anderson gave a talk on “Cases of nouns and properties of adjectives.” / The same divisions of Centre school were addressed by the Superintendent . Friday morning. The banner carried by the scholars --- I I V from Washington school on ‘‘Colombian Day” was purchased by the pupils themselves for the occasion. Miss Ella Vieth, of Washington school, visited the Pittsburg schools l&st W66ki The Garland, a paper published by the Longfellow Literary Society of Ritchie school, iaone of the leading Friday afternoon literary attractions. Visitors frequently call to hear this bright, newsy journal read. Thi9 year Lincoln school will have but three Seniors. The Junior Class numbers seven. Miss Carrie Kindleberger, one of the honor pupils of the class of '92, has been appointed as substitute In Washington school. THE NEWS OF THE DAY. Attention, Committees. The Entertainment Committee and De monstration Committee are requested to meet the Executive Committee at nine o’clock this morning atclub rooms. Im portant business; be present promptly. John Waterhouse, Secretary. Barry B. Soy bold Pardoned. Yesterday morning Mrs. H. B. Sey bold received a telegram from Jas. W. Ewing, private secretary to the Gov ernor, stating that the Governor had pardoned her husband, Harry B. Sey bold, who has been confined in the pen itentiary at Moundsville over eighteen months. A Baey session. The Board of County Commissioners met yesterday morning as a Board of Equalization and Appeals, and put in a busy day considering petitions and listening to the explana tions of property owners. About fifty petitions were before the Board, and quite a number were deferred, varying action being taken on the others. A Trick that Didn't Work. Yesterday G. If. McCune, who has been boarding with Mrs. Parsons, gave that lady an order for $5.25, for board, on Jos. McDauu, and then skipped around and collected his wages before the order was presented, intending to go to Pennsylvania. The police were notified and McCune was arrested and locked up. After considering the mat ter in the solitude of his cell, he agreed to pay up, and was released. A Large Batch of Prisoners. Nine prisoners were landed behind the bars at Moundsville, yesterday, by Sheriff R. H. Boone, of Fayette county. Five of the prisoners were white and four colored, and they were in charge of Deputies Jas. L. Storer, I. Storer, J. A. Boone, Clark Humphries, Walter Blum, C. Z. DeQuinsy, Alex. McNabb, \V. B. McDowell and Harrison Ash. One of the prisoners got ten years for murder, one fifteen years for an unlaw ful assault on his own daughter, one two years for stabbiug a mau, aud the others varying terms for robbery. A Bad Runaway. Last night about Lalf-pastsix a team belonging to Albert Jennings took fright in the Fifth ward, and came dashing across the Market street bridge and up to Sixteenth street. At that street it swerved to the east and the wagon struck the B. & 0. safety gate, completely wrecking it, and knocking the tongue off the wagon and complete ly wrecking the vehicle. This checked the career of the ,tightened horses and, they were captured. No one was hurt, although a pedestrian on the postofiice sidewalk had rather a narrow escape. Chautauqua Local Board. Rev. W. J. Edwards, of Jamestown, N. Y., was In the city on Thursday in the interest of Chautauqua, and after consultation with a few frieuds of edu cation, appointed the following commit tee, to be known as the Chautauqua Local Board, to whom persons desiring information as to Chautauqua or the C. L. S. C. course cau apply: Rev. A. B. Rlker, D. I)., Rev. D. A. Cunningham, D. D., Rev. J. A. Fullerton, D. D., Rev. J. 1L Hess, Dr. Hattie Jones, Prof. C. U. Anderson, Prof. J. N. Hammond, Mr. J. C. Lynch, Miss Anna Reaves, Mrs. Elmore Chapman, Mr. M. F. Glesey. Death of John A. Hervey. Telegrams received In this city yes terday afternoon announced the death yesterday morning of Mr. John A. Her vey, eldest son of Mrs. Letitia Hervey, of the Island, and brother of Mrs. An drew Patterson. Mr. Hervey was well known in this community, and his ge nial manner and bright wit will be re membered by many, who will regret to hear the sad news of bis untimely death. Mr. Hervey left this city lu the early part of the Hayes administration to go to Washington, D. C., as a pro tegee of Mr. James G. Blaine, whose in fluence placed him In a prominent posi tion in the State Department, where he remained uutil the change from Repub lican to Democratic rule made it neces sary to resign his position. Bloce then Mr. Hervey has been engaged actively in the interest of theStandard Oil Com pany at Toledo and Findlay, Ohio. Departure of Prof Wingert, Prof. H. S. Wlngert, physical director of the Y. M. C. A., leaves to-day for Philadelphia, where he has accepted a Kittie Fox of Falrhaven, Ff. "When my daughter Kitty was about three years old, Eczema or Salt Rheum appeared on her face.

How many eldarly men and women we see who plainly show ther are “going down the hill ” The trembling hand, th# unoerteim step, the lack of brightness in the eye, the shrunken features, all indicate that life is not at high tide, that the strength and vital foroes are not what they once were, and, in fact, that they are going down the hilL This, of course, is to be expected, for when one reaohes later years, physical tronbles are sure to come, but how many elderly people we see are healthy, happy and comparatively vigorous. They always seem cheerful, bright, contented. Why should not all be equally fortunate? It certainly is possible. Every elderly man and woman needs to gently assist nature, all the while needs to take some pure stimulant regularly. Every doctor In the laud admits this, and its common sense must be manifest to all. It should nov be understood, however, that auy ordinary stimu lant would be recommended. It must be some thing pure, powerful, health-giving and strength-imcarting. bach a stimulant can be found only in Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. It is the only medeetnal whiskey in the market. Its wonderful popularity is due entirely to its power and what it has accomplished. Any el derly man or wornau through its use may cer tainly p eserve the health, and may reaaonab.y expect 10 prolong the life. Do not be induced, however, to try any Inferior article or any which the druggist or grocer may seek to put in its place. There is nothing wnich cau accom plish the same object. _0) position as Instructor in one of the large associations of that city. Mr. Wingert, during his stay in Wheeling, has made many warm friends, who very much regret his departure. As a physical director and field trainer he has no superior, and we are giad to say that his abilities have been fully appre ciated by those who havo been under his instruction. He has been with the association here but little over a year, but during that time the gymnasium classes have had au attendance un known before. Mr. Wingert was what the boys have termed an "iaeai instructor, »uu tu mo successor they have no other suggestion than that ho follow In the footsteps of the one whom he succeeds. tier, Kylvanu* I.ane, Of the Cincinnati M.
