BRIDGEPORT.

Business changes about Bridgeport
are numerous. E. P. Rhodes bought
the interest of A. J. Osborne, in the
Diamond Mills while Mr.. Osborne
has bought the old Touring Jackson
Mill, in Wheeling. John Watkins, OF
Fer uson & Watkins, lumbermen, has
sold his interest in the firm to MIR.
Mead, of Cory, Pa, who purposes push
ing the lumber business in Bridgeport
being man of large means, and
having on hand vast amount of pre-
pared lumber, which he purposes
throwing into the market, at Bridge
port, the coming season.
Adam Eberle is erecting a commo-
dious Ice-house on his premises, BRYCE
port.
The races, so-called, on Wheeling
Island, are voted unanimously hum
bug, being the occasion of more drunk
enness than any other style of amuse-
ment.
An election was held in Bridgeport
on the 10Th inst, which resulted in au-
thnriZing the School Board to build
school house in IEtnaville.

says, "When we first heard of the result
in Pease township, we ascribed it,main-
ly, to the fact that the operatives in the
Etna and Ohio Mills, who are nearly
all Republicans, had this Fall voted,
for the first time in Belmont county,
but now we learn from the st. Clairs-

ing to the prodigious efforts of DIR.

knowledge is only equalled by your
pusillanimity. The Iron City Mill vO-
ted just eight new voters, and the Et-
ma nine, while the Labelle Glass Works
voted the same number of Democrats
so the score stood even. Our increaS-
ed success in Pease was owing to the
fact, first, we had firstrate ticket-nO
'blatherskites' or dead beats on it; next
we worked hard for victory, aud got

The Republicans have lost during
this election, to the minor offices on the
State ticket less than 10000 votes since
last year. They have lost 1000 of the
votes for the same offices in 1873, and
"A, 900 of the votes for President in
1872. This change, however, in the
large vote of Ohio, amounting when
full to over half a million, is not un-
common, while the per centage is very
small. AS will be seen by the tables,
the Republicans lost $4,000 votes in
1862, and gained LOG, 900 in 1868. They
lost so, 600 in 1864; $4,000 more in 1865;
gained 1900 in 1866, lost 10000 in
1887; gained 10000 in 1868 on the vote
for President; lost 81, 200 in 1869; gain
ed {, 900 in 1870; and 800 more in 1871;
lost 4 900 ON Secretary of State, and
gained Is, 900 on President in 1872; and
lost both in 1873.
The variation this year is not so vic.
lent as it has been in previous years,
and is too common to call for much
surprise. l.a al a'U1 1917

changes as violent, but not as frequent

The Democrats will, ofcourse, make
the most of their success in Ohio and

little effect upon the facts of the case.
If they boast, and crow, and chirrup
over unsubstantial victories, they are
the losers and the deceived after all
Their noise may be annoying to their
opponents, but unless there is grave

fooling themselves. That.it is not an ex-

readily be seen by examining the past

These figures are bad enough, but fall
far short of calculations of enthusiastic
Bourbons, which were so profuseiy il
lustrated with fowl cuts. Considering
that in the Reserve Districts alone by
reason of offensive candidates we lost
over II, 900 votes, and that $4,000 Re.
publicans remained at home, we are
not discouraged at the result. On 8
full vote under fair auspices Ohio is still
good for $4,000 to 10000 Republican
majority. The grand principles of the
Republican party are right and they
must prevail.

ORTTHARY

On the morning of the 14th' inst,
George Sheridan, youngest child OF
John L. and 7. D. Frint, aged six years,
five months and fourteen days.
In the death of this little boy, the
family to which he belonged has suf-
fered severe bereavement. The
aff1iction came with little warning, and
a dearly loved child and brother, after
a week of intense suffering, was taken
from them. Rarely does the death of
one so young call forth more profound
sympathy from the community in gen.
eral. He was an unusually bright and
attractive boy, kind and obliging to his
little playmates, manly in his appear
ance, and giving promise of a useful
future. Since old enough to attend
Sabbath-school his place was seldom
vacant, and especially during the last
summer, as if conscious that his time
was short. While there, his manly de-
pertinent and close attention gave evil
dence that he was not an unconcerned
pupil in learning of Jesus. When near
death, the words that aroused him most
to consciousness were those he had so
often helped to sing
