Bell, one of the oldest citi zens of Wheeling, died at his residence No. 33 Seventeenth street, at half-past . six o'clock last evening, aged almost eighty-two years. Mr. Bell had been virtually dying for five or six days, and had been in indifferent health for a longtfcne past, mainly the result of a severe fall he sustained in 1888, and from the effects of which he never re covered. Deceased was a native of Jefferson county, O.. where he was born May 7. 1814. In 1S17 his parents removed to Beaver county, Pa., but returned to Jefferson county In 182S. He was the fourth of ten children. His father was • Robert Bell, and his mother, Prudence Bell, nee Donnell, the father being a native of Ireland. When- but. eighteen I years of age the subject of this sketch | began to teach school, and followed that proession twelve or fourteen years, a considerable portion of this pe riod b-ing spent in the schools of Steu benville. Later he bought the Jeffer son Seminary, at WeUsburg, where he taught for five years. Giving up the Seminary, he engaged in bu-iness in WeUsburg, and from there lemoved to New Martinsville, where he remained sixteen years, and during that time was a Justice of the Peace for suveral years. In 1SG5 he removed to Moundsville, ■where he lived sixteen years and wns one of the most prominent citizens of th • town, being Mayor for one term, and a member of the town council.

In politics Mr. Bell 1 was a Whig and Republican, and voted for both Henry Clay and William Henry Harri on. as well as all Repub lican candidates since 1856. He was a I member of the Christian church. Mr. Bell was a very vigorous man up ' to the time of his accident, in 1888, and bill fair to preserve the traditions of his- family for longivity. His grand | mother on his father's side lived to be j 105 years old and his maternal grand mother 107. while other members of the family approached the century mark closely. , The funeral of Mr. Bell will occur Friday morning at ten o'clock, from the. residence of John R. Wherry, No. 1511 Jacc j street. -o A HANDSOME PLACE. Mr. P. J. Gavin, proprietor of the pop ular White Front restaurant at No. 1228 Market street, has had a corps of carpenters, sheet metal workers, plas terers and paiuters and decorators at work for ten days past, with the result that the accommodations for the pub lic have been largely increased and the entire establishment overhauled, re paired and decorated until it is now a thing of beauty.

One of the most ingenious and artis tic window displays ever made by a Wheeling merchant, is to be seen in the pharmacy of Charles Menkecuiller, cor ner Twenty-second and Market streets. The idea represented i£ that Best's Pure Malt Tonic is a life prjierver. The work was done entirely by Mr. Menke miller, and reflects great credit upon his skill as well as his taste. The display is an ocean scene, more realistic than if painted upon canvas. The threatening breakers, the wreck of a vessel, and the vivid lightning de picted in the background, give an ex cellent storm effect The good ship “Health” is partly submerged, and pas sengers are clinging in the water to bottles of the Best Tonic. A white dove hovers over the scene, carrying in its beak the message, “The Best Tonic is a Life Preserver.” There is alco a lighthouse in the rear, with lights which are made to revolve by an ingenious automatic arrangement The display arrests the attention of passers-by, and Mr. Monkemiller re ceived many handsome compliments upon his work. -o THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. The Banquet Will Be llehl at the Fort Hen ry Club—The Touxtx. The arrangements for the annual meeting and banquet of the Sons of the Revolution. Monday, have been com pleted.

Virginia Settlers Puring the Revolution"—Mr, Joseph Moreland. “Teaching Patriotism in the Public Schools” Prof. Samuel B. Brown. "Foreign Officers in the Revolution” —Hon. Alfred Caldwell. A considerable number of promi nent West Virginians are expected to be present at the meeting. The local committee of arrangements is composed of Hon. J. J. Woods. Mr. Platoff Zane, Hon. Alfred Caldwell, Dr. R. M. Baird, Mr. Charles Lamb and Mr. Samuel Hugh Brockunier. -o THE STOGIE QUESTION. To the Editor of the Register. Sir:—Oblige us with space to contra dict a misstatement which appeared in Wednesday’s issue of the 'Register in relation to a meeting be.ween the cigar manufacturers and their employes. A correct version is as follows: One of the manufacturers claiming to represent tho oihers requested of Garfield Assembly the appointment of a conference com mittee to meet with the manufacturers. The committee was appointed and ar rangements made for the meeting. At the time designated seven manufactur ers appeared, five of whom were ignor ant o; the purpose for which the meet ing was called. When the gentleman at whose solieitation the meeting was call ed saw the slim attendance, he declined to proceed with the rdeeting further than to state that the object was a dis cussion of the general condition of the cigar industry and the chances of bringing about a better condition of business. No proposition was made to reduce wages and nine-tenths of the manufacturers of the city of Wheeling would not entertain or favor such a move if it had been made. By inserting the above you will favor the committee. CONFERENCE. TOUR OF INSPECTION. Receiver John K. Cowen will head a party of the most prominent officials of the B. & O.. who will leave Baltimore on a special train within a day or two, for the purpose of inspecting the lines of the B. & O.
