PROPORTIONS.

News of th« Event.

There is no diminution in the popular in-

terest that is being taken in the big Stat«

Fair. Indeed, it is growing to mammoth

proportions, or, as it might be expressed in

''circus rhetoric,'' it is destined to be

something colossal, something stupendous, something mostodonic! The Secretary's office is literally beseiged by exhibitors, and

Secretary Hook and his corps of assistants

are as busy as bees answering questions, and arranging the thonsand and one de-

tails. The aspect ot the interior of

the Main Exhibition building showed a decided change yesterday afternoon from the diy before.

The exhibitors have got through with a

great deal of the work necessary iu fixing up their door and wall space, and some

goods, especially in the Art Department, are in process of arrangement. Messrs. < ieorge ^alada and 'Noah /atie put in all day yesterday in putting up the decorations in the central dome, over the fountain, and last evening the effect was very fine. The gentlemen showed excellent taste. To-day the plant*, etc., will be arranged in the fountain by Mr. Zane, and Monday morn-

ing at daybreak the gold fish will be placed in the tank.

A number of flyers for the races arrived on the grounds yesterday, and the locality about the stables is b^inuing to assume

an air of bustle. It has been found neces-

sary to make a change iu the racing pro- gramme, the 2:25 special [tare being moved up from Friday to Wednesday. This ar-

rangement gives two rao-r oa Tuesday, three each on Wednesday aud Thursday, and two on Friday.

A good deal of live stock arrived yester- day, and a good deal more will come in

to-day. Among the cattle was a crack herd of Swiss cattle owned by Mr. Kalde- bangh, of Upshur county. These cattle were only brought here alter the Hoard of Directors of the Fair Association had guar- anteed their owner a special premium ot

They are small stout, greatly resem-

bling Jeneys in mauy respects, aud are

decked oat iff >>ells and ribbons, taken as

premiums on the other side of the Atlan- tic. Some of the cattle have brood neck- lets composed of medals. They arrived on

the grounds late yesterday afternoon, and created quite a sensation among those

present. There were 9onie heavy shipments of

farm machinery sent over to the ground yesterday, but as yet the stutT is mostly packed up. To-day a large additional amount ot machinery will arrive.

The old dancing platform will again lie used this year for the pomological display. A canvas root has been stretched over it, the sides enclosed with canvas, suitable benches, Aie., erected, and the whole in- terior handsomely decorate»!. Floral ball is also iu good shape for the reception of the exhibits properly l>elonging there.

Attention is called to an advertisement of the Association, in another column, re-

garding the grounds to-morrow. The gates will be closed against all visitors.

M ORK ABOUT IHK BOOM.

The Ht.trtil Mfri'lwnti Feel the Thrill of New ltu«lu*i>H Life.

Yesterday the Register «ave some cold

tacts concerning the larne business done by oar wholesale merchants and the prosper- ous condition oi our commercial as well as

manufacturing interests. Even a great many people who are ol«strvers were not

aware of the lact that Wheeling is boom-

ing, because it is one of those good healthy booms that has a solid foundation, and in- creases gradually in size aal stability, showing that it has come to stay.

Not alone iu the wholesale circles is this briskness noticeable,but it is probably even more apparent iu the retail trade. A Rkg- istek reporter yesterday made à brief tour through the retail business portion of the city and found ou every hand| evidences ot a big trade. Especially is this noticeable in the dry goods bnsiness. It was learned from the heads of some of the mast prominent establish meats that never heiore in their history have they carried such heavy and varied stocks of goods in all depart- ments. That the stocks are rich and ele- gant, a look at the handsome window displays and the heavily laden shelves will at ouce coovinoe one. la facta shopper can secure in our dry goods establishments goods of the finest and most costly descrip- tion down to the cheapest. The merchants say that they have seldom experienced a more prosperous August than that jnst past, and the ontlook for a big fall trade is of the most encouraging nature. If any one wants to be convinced that our retail merchants are doing an immense trade let them make a tour of the retail stores along Main and Market streets on any pleasant afternoon, especially Saturday. The stores seem to l>e crowded with buyers, who tlock from one to another iu their rounds.

The retail business portion of the city has put on a wonderfully bright look and it is a pleasure to circulate about and gaze on the fine window displays and watch the swarms of shoppers The milliners, the clothiers, the furnishing goods men, the jewelers, àud all branches of trade have felt this rush of business. One promi- nent jeweler stated to a reporter that he has never had snch a big August trade since he has been engaged in business, which is saying a good deal considering the fact that his business career covers a

period of about twenty years. If this is the case in the jewelry trade it must cer-

tainly be more emphasized in other branches where the real necessities of life are the stock iu trade. Thus throughout the whole commercial system of Wheeling the boom can be felt booming.

Why th« City Should Buy. Pablic interest in the project of malting

» pablic park of some sort oat of the old

Fair Grounds continue*, and it id very

likely the matter will come up at tbe next

section of Council, which will probably be

a called meeting for next Tuesday evening.

People who have thought over the project are convinced the city ought \o own tbe

tract, in order to secure its improvement and allow tbe greatest possible bent-tit to

accrue to the pablic. This sentiment was i

very well voiced by a prominent citizen, j and an old soldier, too, yesterday. He

said: "It may be desirable to have tbe ground

purchased by the G. A. R or the Society of the Army of West Virginia; in facfTl would like to see it in the hands of tbe

soldiers, but while it would be a nice

thing for them at Reunion time, tbe peo-

ple would gain no practical t»enefit from it J It coold not be improved by the G. A. R. or the Society, for tbe reaoou that neither

organization could staud tbe strain npoo their resource», and without improvement it would have no value as a pleasure ground. If the only expenditure would be the tirst cost I would be heartily in fa- vor of its purchase by subscription,• but I can't see any practicable solution of the difficulties I have named. Let us go into details for a moment The first cost

would|be. say fciU.UOU. Then the grounds must be enclosed; tbe portion fronting along 'Back' river has lately shown a very decided tendency to cave in, and must lie

protected by whoever buys the ground; if it is to be a public grounds it must be

lighted with street lamps, water must be introduced tor fountains, ornamental trees

and shrubs and fiowers planted, and

so on ad fiaitum. These items the

city can stand, and the citizens would agree to it because in

a few years they would bave a park of which the whole community could be

proud, and which would be free to our

people forever. But let either of the veteran

organizations or an association of private in-

dividuals buy the property, and the citizens have no inherent right iu the matter. At

the most they could only visit the grounds by peruiissiou --and that's hardly the

thing we want. Let us call it Memorial Park, or Camp Carlile Park, or anything else you chose; let us set aside as much or

its area as may be necessary for reuniou purposes; but don't let this golden oppor- tunity to acquire an eligibly situated park escape the city. I see one or two Couucil- men of small calibre are opposed to the

purchase. That is to be expected. But

they beloug to tbe class who always set their faces against anything in the way of progess. The great majority ot Council, 1 am convinced, see the wis- dom of the city owning the grounds. We are not throwing our money away. We are not only getting value received, but tbe property is bound to increase right along. Let's have the Park. ''

This is a sample of how people who have considered the matter talk. Of

course, there are many who are enthu-

siastically iu favor of the veteraas buying the ground, but when they look at the an-

nual expense which would be entailed in

improving the property, they begin to he dubious.

THE REASON WHY.

What the Feather-Weight Editor of the

Muuudivllle "UeralJ'' Diacovered.

The Moundsville Herald, in its latest Î6-

eut, editorially remarks :

'"The Register's banner was on a wire stretched across the street; why was the banner not hung directly over the middle of the street? The reason is plain. That would have partially defeated the object for which it was put up. Had it been

hung in the middle of the street a left or

right oblique would scarcely have taken the line from under the obnoxious banner, as the space between its outer edge and either curb-stone would have been nar-

row. Hnt by hanging it over the curb on

the light plenty ol space was lelt for the line to 'left oblique' and thus make the action very noticeable. Another object) was to get the banner as far trom the RE<<I5<TKK office as possible."

Tfitere are several inaccuracies in this aud also some ingenious reasoning. To relieve the prim suspicion haunting the edi- tor of the Herald as to why the banner was

not bnng exactly over the middle of the street, the Register will point out that it was not possible to hang the 20- foot banner thus by reason of alwnt eight telephone wires which cross the street

diagonally in front of the office and which would have seriously marred the beanty of the portrait and interfered with the correct reading of the sentiment. If the editor of the Herald will come up to

Wheeling his anxiety on this point will be relieved, and be will Bave his rejisoner

any more such violent strains. Now comes the Tyler (Jouuty Star,

wherein J. W. Barnes says "The statement of the Rki^tek that

the InttHigemxr reporters assisted in crowd-

ing the veterans from the street into the

gutter, that they might not pass under the Cleveland banner, is not true. The editor of the Star happens to know that four or tive of the Intelligencer reporters were on the west side of the street during the whole parade, and only two on the east side, and they were there for the pur- pose ol taking notes of the proceedings, and did nothing else."

This J. W. Barnes was one of the In• telligeneer'a Reunion reporters, and was

recognized among the crowd of employes of that journal in from of this office. His statement that "only two" of the re-

porters were "on the east side" of the street, is about the rankest assertion yet made by anyone. Five reporters were

in one bunch on the east side of the street, and none of them were "taking notes." Goto, Barnes.

All THEKE ! HIKDIE !

The Facta About Gov. Wllooti'« Eye Being Fsitened on Mr. Cainden.

The Intelligencer of Thursday morning stated editorially that when Gov. Wilson

got his eye tautened upon Mr. Camden

daring his Thursday afternoon speech, be

begun to tire at him bis familiar speech on

the corrupt use of money in politics. Ac- cording to the Intelligencer Mr. Camden certainly most have had one of Gov. Wil- son's eyes along with him, because Mr. Camden was not in the tent or near it during the Governor's speech.

Mr. Camden, Mr. Philip Henry Moore, ex-Mayor J. W. Grubb and Col. Geo. W. Thompson, went over to the grounds to- gether in a hack. In the tont they met Mr. Chancellor and Mr. Scotield, all occu-

pying seats close to each other. At the con- clusion of Mr. A. W. Campbell's address, which was followed by singing, tbe party lei t tbe tent together, and did not return. As Mr. Tucker's poem was read before Got. Wilson made his speech, Mr. Camden was some distance away, and Gov. Wilson did not see him nor did Mr. Camden hear a word of the Governor's speech.

So that dizzy little fabrication of a dizzy little fabricator is knocked in the head by facta. The /nfW/i^oKrr^honld "Remember these things."

Missionary Convention.

The annual convention of the Christian

Myers, X. L. Atwood and other*. An in-

The cases of Britt Davis and Maggie Davis were called before Justice Arkle at

2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the

tenses alleged being a breach of the peace and

abusive language respectively. The com-

plainant was Amelia Beck. The hearing was a somewhat extended one, aud showed the whole thing to have been the result of of a neighborhood quarrel.

Both cmea were continued until Monday. In the case of Helen 1'etticord, charged

with throwing water on Mary Frebold, a

line of $5 and costs was assessed.

The laughable comedy entitled the "Doc-

tor," which will be presented at the Opera House September 6th, 7th and 8th, with

the talented young comedian John F.

Ward in the leading role of Higgins, the

Doctor's man, is said to be one of the rich- est entertainments to be presented here this season and should fully come up to the favorable commendations with which the Star and company are heralded. An ex-

change has tbe following to say "The en-

tire performance went on smoothly from tbe beginning to the end. Mr. John F. Ward, as Higgins, the Doctor's man ex-

tremely funny and his appearance on the stage was at once a signal for merriment. He acred his part to perfection and con- vulsed tbe audience with laughter at his witty sajings and funny acting He has a

good, stroll^, healthy voice and perfect con- trol of his facial muscles. As a comedian he certainly is in the front rank.

THE KAKER CASE.

case, to take place before Judge Bojd, at

Wheeling, draws near, the interest, which

abated after the rendering of the verdict of

gnilty, Is again revived. The Timm repre- sentative to-day interviewed John M.

Cook, one of the attorneys for Baker, to

learn if possible what steps had ! een taken

by the defense in his interest. At tiret Mr. Cook declined to say any-

thing about the case,but finally said he felt a good deal of confidence that Baker won Id be granted a new trial because, in his judg- ment, Baker did not receive snch a trial as

is contemplated by the bill of rights, as was shown by the evidence taken. At least a part of the jurors went upon the jury with a decided opinion as to the guilt of Baker. Their opinions were bo decided, judging by their expressions before going upon thejury, that no amount of evidence would or could overcome them. The de- fendant and his counsel were not aware of this fact when the jury was empanneled. The jury was unquestionably permitted to

separate at different times and hold con- versations with ditfereut parties, and while so separated to have jollifications at places far distant from the Coart House.

While it is probable that no actual tam- pering with the jury will be shown, yet it is well known that the entire community where Baker was tried was pervaded with prejudice and animosity to him, and it was

hardly possible that the jury could he permitted to mingle with the people and not be affected. Mr. Cook thinks that the rule of law is that the mere facts of the separation and commingling of the jury with the people presumes the defendant to

be prejudiced. The evidence taken and to be submitted in support of the motion for a new trial shows that at least on« of the jurora received information that a feeling existed in the community that some of the jury were more favorable to Baker than they ought to be, and that if they carried their feelings into the verdict they would be harshly dealt with. Numerous demon- strations were made by the andience of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, as the evi- dence was for or against Baker, and that the demonstrations were so manifest that the got beyond the control of the court of- ficers, and oould not fail having a decided intlnenee upon the jury. Mr. Cook thinka that upon the Conrt being made acquaint- ed with these substantial facts which strongly tend to show that the trial was a

mis-trial, an order to «et aside the ver-

diet and directing a new trial of the case will be granted.

This covers about all the points made. It is understood that the main thing the defense relies upon is the declarations of a

jnror made before the trial, which doubtless refera to Mr. Hpirey, who, it is claimed, in East Liverpool, offered to bet that Baker wonld be «convicted, and who far- ther declared that he would bang the

if be was on the jury.

A Seven Inning Game in Which Wheeling Narrowly Escapes Being Shot Oat—A Tie it

Kilamiaw—Not«.

Wheeling pat Sullivan in the box at

Canton yesterday and the aloggen o! that

town got onto him in the first inning. Wheeling hit Sanders hard, bnt the ball

always found its way into the pockets of

the Cantonese, who played an errorless

tielding game. Kimber will probably be

pnt in the box for Wheeling to-day, aud if

the boys can pnt on their batting clothes we may look Iura different result. There

is no telling what the Maroons might have

done vesterday in the last two innings had

not the game been called on account of

darkness. A report of the game will he

Canton, O., September 2.—Canton had

Wheeling shut oat in an errorless game oi seven innings this afternoon, when Umpire Bell deliberately and willfully presented the visitors with a run in the seventh, when Sharp stood on the home plate with the ball rn his hands waiting for Myers tc

com« in, who was forced off third by Shetz- line. It was the rankest case of robbery ever seen on a ball Held, and for a time

things looked serious for Bell. Sullivan was hit rather hard br the home team, while Wheeling got hot seven clean hits off San- ders. The visitors hit the ball hard enough bat mostly into the pockets of the bom« team. Virtue lifted the ball over left field fence for a home run in the fifth. White made a remarkable catch ofahotlinei from Sander's bat, jumping high io the air lor it, and was given a grand round of ap- plause, Brudie, too, distinguished bimsell by a wonderful catoh of a difficult fiy in left field. The visitors played a good game bat were outbatted and outtielded. Fol- lowing is the soore in detail :

HlKCial TeUpram to the R's/vtcr. Kalamazoo, Mich Septem l»er 2.—The

Kalamazoo and Sandusky clubs played a

close and exciting game to-day, which terminated in a draw, on account of dark- ness at the end of the seventh inning. It was a pitcher's game, but one actual hit being made off Faston by Kalamazoo, and four off of Flanagan. Fuller's fine back- stop work was the feature of the game. Score:

Col.i MBi's, September 2.—The Zanes- ville club won the game to day in the first inning knocking ont nine runs. Dale could do nothing with the Ztnesville stag- gers. Ereck made some good plays for the home club, hat the remainder did misera- bly. .Score:

People who talk abont Zanesville never

kicking on the alleged Empire Hell ought to bear some of those players talk. And still President Voegele retains him.—Ohio Statt Journal.

The Triadelphia base ball club went np to Washington, Pa., yesterday afternoon and defeated tbe clnb of that place to the tnne of 9 to 5.

Inquiries are made every day concern-

ing Hartmeyer, Zauesville's phenomenal pitcher, who did such good work tbe few

games be was tried. Tbe inquirers are

respectfully referred to the managers of tbe clnb, as no one else seems t» know.— /5riw*»•«//( Timm-Bevordir,

Seering seems to be a failure. Zanes- vilie will bave to play winning ball while on the home grounds or else tbe manage- ment will lose money. If Seenng can't bold a club down to less than fourteen bite, it looks to a man np a tree as if Zanesville should bave no further use for him.—ZtiMtrilU Timet-Recttrder.

McMilleu and Miller, of tbe Zanesville team, are both stadents at tbe University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and members of tbe 'Varsity nine there. Tbe former is a

member of tbe class of 'K9 and tbe latter o< '8*i. Both are good scholars and popular wherever they go by reason of their qniet and gentlemanly condact. They are play- ing ball daring their vacation, and will re-

turn to college tbe latter part of this month This morning an extra series of five game«

was arranged between Messrs H. L. Grein- er, of Zaneerille, and J. H. Giflbrd, to be

played after fhe close of tbe regnlar cham- pionship season. Two of tbe game« will he played in Zaneetille September 29 and 3U, and two in this city Oetoher I and 2. If it is necessary to play tbe fifth game, one of the other State League citiea will beselected and tbe date arranged hereafter. —Columbia Dirpmitb.

In tbe Thursday's game, at Mansfield, the score stood, Man»field 4, Akron 0. Tbe game was a special benefit exhibition, bnt was only attended by abont three band- red. The game was a pitcher's battle, Miller being in tbe box for tbe borne team and Irwin for tbe viators. Miller held his opponents down to three clean nits and with perfect support tbe Akron's were »hat oat. Irwin pitched a fine game, bat bit support was ragged. Errors and daring hase running allowed tbe home team to crom the plate for foar runs. Tbe game was Ustlees and tiresome, tbe on) v bril- liant features were AJlen'a one hand catch of a bot liner, Reynold's line catch in deep left field and Yaik's throwing to sec-
