STONE THRowING.-Boys will be
boys, and boys will throw stones.
What is more tempting to boy with a
stone in his hand than old church win
dows, fractured street lamp, NANCY
cur or flock Of pigeons. They would
sooner throw that stone then than eat
ice cream. Stone throwing, however is
a nuisance, and frequently endangers
human life as well as entailing pecuni-
airy loss. Yesterday we saw two little
tads, clad in summer ventilation hats
and trowsers, with their tongues in low
ing proximity to their proboscises, take
deliberate aim at the windows Of the
Baptist Church on Monroe street and
let the stones in their hands fly through
the windows. They knew they were
doing wrong, as they showed by the
way they ran when the glass ratified
But if it hadn't been wrong they would
not have done it.

The B. AND o. RAILRoAD.-Somebody
has been badly fooled. The members
Of the committee who went TO Balti.
more to see John w. Garrett and ascer-
tain on what terms he would accept the
streets Of the city, on which to extend
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to the
Hempfeld depot, reported on their re-
turn that Mr.. Garrett had given them
quasi assurances, in the course ola con-
versation with him, that he intended
doing the right thing by Wheeling; that
he would forget all former differences,
that he would take off his coat and
work for the interest Of this city, fgura-
lively speaking; that he intended to To-
cate new shops here and largely in
crease the capacity of those he had
here, ifeverything was fixed to his sat
isfaction. The committee returned
home happy. Lo, the result. All
trains from Baltimore now run to
Bellaire, and orders for the removal Of
the railroad shops to Bellaire have been
received. A "jerk-water train" is to'be
run for the convenience OF the citizens
of Wheeling. This, We suppose, was
not part Of the arrangements made
BY the committee, nor is it done to
compensate the City Council for the
right of way up John street. How
would it do now to repeal the ordinance
giving the right OF way up that street,
and let Mr.. Garrett tunnel the hills if
he wants to? From our stand point it
looks as il a certain committee had been
egregiously fooled. But maybe We
are not fixed so as to see all the
points.

BELLAIRE IrEMs.-We take the fol

BELLAIRE IrEMs.-We take the fol-
lowing from the Bellaire Independent:
We are glad to announce that the
stock of Mr.. F. II. Eccles ($l2,OOO) IN
the National Glass Works has been
purchased by our enterprising banks
and that the prospect now IS that the
works will be in operation in short
time.
Quite an excitement was created IN
the neighborhood Of the Globe House,
Tuesday evening. by an attempt Of two
young men OF Wheeling to arrest a
young man mailing from Glovers Gap,
over on the Baltimore road, who, it is
alleged, seduced sister of the pursuers
and then fled. The Wheeling chaps
stuck revolvers in the face Of the Clio
ver's Gap man, and demanded that he
should 20 to Wheeling instantly. Some
bystanders interfered and persuaded the
Wheeling men to put their guns In their
pockets. The runaway agreed to go
back with them to "Old Virginny.
The passenger engines Of the Central
road are again stopping at Bellaire. AS
at present ordered, the engines take
East bound trains over to Benwood and
and then return to the engine house IN
this city. 1t is thought the main line
engines will soon run over to Bellaire
instead Of going to Wheeling.
I'VE were informed yesterday that
the engineers on the Baltimore and
Ohio road who formerly run their en-
gines into Wheeling had received orders
to run them hereafter to Bellaire.

New SAFE FOR THE FIRST NATIONAL
BANK.-The new safe manufactured by
the Hall Safe and Lock Company, OF
Cincinnati, expressly for the First Ma
tional Bank of this city, and which was
received at the bank yesterday attract
ed great amount of attention because
OF the strength and beauty of its con-
struction.
This safe is the finest and largest in
this section of country. Its weight is
eleven tons. Its walls are four inches
in thickness and are made Of alternate
layers Of hard and soft steel, and it is
burglar proof throughout. The out
side door is fastened by two Of Hall
double dial locks and an arrangement
Of bolts, so that if the hinges of the sale
be broken oft doors cannot be moved.
The inner doors have Halls single dial
lock. At the bottom OF the safe are
two money chests, got up precisely like
the main safe, so that should burglar
get through the main safe, his work is
to be done all over again before he can
get into the money chests. There are
also one hundred boxes for the use Of
customers, these are covered by iron
doors 80 arranged that they are under
the control Of but one person. This
magnificent safe, the largest ever built
by the Hall Safe and Lock Company is
to be placed in the vault OF the bank.
As the walls of this vault are made Of
solid stone Two feet thick the bank may
feel that their money is secure, when in
the safe, both from fire and thieves.
The enterprise Of the officers Of the
bank in thus providing depositors a
sure and safe depository for their money
should and will receive the appreciation
Of the business public.

POLICE CoURT.-There was but one
case before the Police Court yesterday.
Joseph Douthert has been blowing the
raging Ohio in the dignified and highly
responsible and respectable position Of
a roustabout on towboat. 1t is said
in river circles that in getting away
with a grub pile or in "splicing the
main brace" Joe has no equal. When
all hands were piped to the bar he never
was heard to murmur mot for Joe
On the contrary quite the reverse.
When the storm king rode on the light
nings through the heavens, the pavilion
around him crimson and black, when
the winds howled around the smoke
stacks or murmured in wierd tones
down the 'scape pipes, at such time of
danger, when the hoarse commands Of
"Give her lick back" or Stand by,
there, 10 let 60 the spanker boom take
a reef in the pinnacle and make taut
the tea-kettle halyards," could hardly
be heard above the din OF the tempest,
Joe was not the man to shirk his duty.
Not he. Pulling his breeches up fore
and aft, like the noble tar he is,
while the waves Of the river swelled
mountain high, when the danger OF
shaping into the bank" stared him in
the face, and when the noble
towboat on which he was, snorted and
pulled as if she had a very huge attack
of asthma, Joe took his hat and stepped
ashore. This was Joe's mistake he
should have gone down (the river) with
the vessel. Being ashore and penniless
he walked from Ironton to Wheeling
on his way TO Pittsburgh. Having got
thus far he bethought him that he had
never sampled Wheeling benzine. A
few quarts sufficed, although he is a
veteran fusileer. He fell from the high
position Of roustabout to the low es-
tate Of a galoot. He was taken cap
tive by an officer and yesterday stood
before the Mayor He freely confessed
his fault, like an honest and repentant
roustabout, and begged for mercy. He
was fined 81 and costs and given fifteen
minutes in which to leave the city if he
would avoid the chaing-gang. The
last we saw OF him he was headed for
Little Washington, determined to reach
Pittsburgh without being again ar
rested.

An IMPORTANT MIrrrn.-one Of the

An IMPORTANT MArTfR.-One Of the
most important inventions of the day
may be seen BY those Of our lady read
ers who will take the trouble Of calling
at the Union Ticket Office rooms. under
the Mcclure House. tits the Walking
Motion Treadle, for sewing machines,
invented by DR.. L. W. sapp, Of Cleve-
lond. DR.. sapp found many cases of
ladies suffering from weakness, debility
and other ailments occasioned by the
severe and exhausting action Of the
limbs and abdomen in running sewing
machines by foot power. This medical
treatment was powerless to prevent.
With the recurrence OF work there was
an almost inevitable recurrence OF disa-
bility. He, therefore, set about devising
a remedy for 60 disastrous an evil.
The consequence OF this study and re-
search has been gratifying. He
has produced a new and novel treadle.
SO simple in its construction that it
can be readily applied to any machine
in use, and in which the muscles OF the
foot produce all the power required, and
there is absolutely no strain upon the mus.
cles of the abdomen or upper part Of the
limbs. Only half the muscular exer-
else is necessary to run a machine with
the new treadle that was required by the
old designs, and the motion o! the loot
in using it is perfectly natural, probably
the same as in walking. Two.foot
plates are made, shaped like the sole OF
shoe, which are stationary at the
heel, and at the toe are attached to a
horizontal lever, which is made station
airy at point midway between the at
taching points Of the foot plates, and
these points move up and down as the
lever is raised or depressed, at its right
hand extremity, by the action of the
crank shalt. Altogether it is the sim.
plest, steadiest and most easily worked
method of running sewing machines
ever invented. H. H. Bingham & Co.
are the general agents. We advise all
those who use sewing machines to call
and see this new treadle
