Police Couff.

Police Court.
Samuel G. Ray was before the Court
yesterday morning for making an as
sault on Richard Nolan with knife on
Monday afternoon. The fuss seems to
have originated about some money that
Ray accused Nolan of having, which he
said belonged to him, but We were una
BILE to ascertain on what grounds he
based his accusation, or how the alleged
sum of money was transferred from him
to Nolan. Nolan knew nothing of any
such transaction having taken place be-
tween Ray and himself, and denied the
charge, whereupon Ray applied to him
the most vile epithets and assaulted
him as above stated. Several passes
were made with the knife by Ray with
cut inflicting any injury, when he was
finally knocked down and the knife Ia
ken from him. About this time Officer
Price made his appearance and convey
ed Ray to the lookup. He had been
drinking quite freely and was very
much intoxicated when he vas arrested
He was fined twenty dollars and costs
for breach, OF the peace in raising a
disturbance in the street. The. fine was
maid.

The gas burner on the post at the
corner of First and Main streets, Centre
Wheeling, must have been forgotten by
the man who turns off the gas, in his
rounds yesterday morning. We were
informed that it was still burning at
noon, and we don't know how much
longer. The people in that section were
in dilemma to know what had become
of that gas man. Some conjectured
that he had got on spree, others sup
posed that he had fell from his ladder
and been wounded, and others conjec-
tured that he was in a hurry to get
around and the post on the corner had
escaped his memory. This is the first
time we have heard of light being left
burning, but we have heard complaints
made several times ofone in the same
vicinity not being lit up, sometimes for
two or three weeks, when the ] nights
were dark and it was most needed.

On q Strike.

On Strike.
The bu, cheers and hucksters who have
been attending the Centre Wheeling
market seem to have deserted it on &C
count of the high rents levied on the
stalls. We were informed that there
were only FIVE butchers and three huck-
sters in attendance yesterday morning.
If this state of affairs continues, and
sellers refuse to attend the market in
consequence Of the recent increase of
rent on the stalls, we think that it
would be to the interest of those who
control the affairs of the market house
to reduce the rents instead of increas-
ing them, as the surplus income on five
or six stalls will not make good the
falling off on the balance. But we are
not butcher or huckster and have no
serious objection. We presume that
the men running things in this line I'M.
derstand their business and will attend
to it without any suggestions from us.

We were informed yesterday that
some papers belonging to the late George
W.iNorton were found few days ago
near the scene of the late disaster OF
the steamboat Harry Dean. The papers
had been washed ashore and were some
what burned. From this and their hav-
ing been in the water the writing on
them was almost obliterated. Enough
was ascertained, however, to show that
they were documents that Mr.. Norton
had in his possession when the explosion
occurred.
