A fight occurred this evening at Rocky
Point, IA miles from here, between 100
negroes and 80 whites. Two whites were
seriously injured. The fight is still going
on.
Returns received render 1t almost Ger
tain that the Conservatives will carry the
Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
Congressional Districts, with the chances
largely In their favor in the First and
Fourth Districts. The best estimates
give them seven out Of eight Congress-
men, which Is gain OF two members.
Returns from every precinct thus far re.

gains on the vote Of 1879, when the Re.

election Of Stephen D. Pool, Conservative,

THE rising little village Of EpaVille
over the river, where building Is going on
quite briSkly this Summer, has been Rb'
sorbed all at once by Bridgeport A con,
test, as to who should have her, has been
going on for long time between Martins
Ferry and Bridgeport. The former made
dead set ior her some months ago, but
was defeated by the combined efforts OIL
the village herself and her present spoliA.
tor Etnaville was happy in the belief
that henceIorward she was 10 rule her own
destinies and become corporation by
herself some day. Alas, we know not the
future. Bridgeport has gobbled her al
ready. There is To be no Etnaville any
more. In the very morning other exist.
ence she has been ruthlessly swallowed
up. Twas ever thus that the big fish de.
voured the little ones"
But, after all, there arc compensations
in this annexation business. Bridgeport
has poured balm already upon the wound.
cd pride OF the ambitious little village by
talking sweetly in regard to the good that
will come Of it. For instance, she talks
Of Immediately building a nice brick
school house, not one horse affair, but q
creditable structure. This Is what they
need in Etnaville next to good police
regulations. Police regulations are her
first necessity, and, next a good school
house. In case the action Of the
County Commissioners is not ap.
peeled from, to the Court OF Common
Pleas, within tho next sixty days, we
presume that Bridgeport will make good
the assurances alluded to. And in case
she does, VIC do not SEQ that Etnaville
has anything Of grievous character to
regret in being captured. We think It
likely that whatever indignation exists in
the village will soon simmer down and
give place at last to positive satisfaction.
