MARTIN FERRY.
TIE principal feature of tne day
seems to be the picnic from Wheeling.
The streets are covered with parties OF
young people and children, and a. the
headquarters at the grove the pleasant
e.t scene we have witnessed for some
time presented itself. We could hard
| ly tell how many hundreds OF people
are congregated here, but as they wan
der around in groups or some lie on
the cool, green grass, it seems gala
day in this busy life OF ours, very
dolce far nient, as our German friends
call it, when life is presented In It's
happiest phase, and we find comfort
! for troubles, and lay 10 store of pleas
ant thoughts by watching the faces Of
ALL go fall are they OF calm, satisfied
delight. We hope our friends across
The river may take home such pleasant
recolle ctions OF our town that the spirit
may move them to visit US again.
A NEW banking house is 10 be start
ed in town shortly by the Dame OF the
tOhio City Banking Company. Quite
prominent gentleman is in town to-
day, looking up the affair, and it Is
certain it will be put in operation at no
distant day. We have no doubt but
that it will succeed, for everything
started in town so far with the name
Ohio City prefixed has been sure and
certain OF speedy and successful COM
pleton.
THE principal work OF the crusaders,
it seems, is not to put down the liquor
traffic but to keep it down, and in this
they have not been successful. We
have two saloons in our town in opera
uou at the present time. and man IS
constructing kind OF boat across the
river which he means to float over as
soon as finished and sell beer, ale, and
the probabilities are something stronger,
on board.
ApAN was in town to-day selling
busting brushes made OF the deaf aud
dumb asylum in Stsunton, Virginia.
They are made OF tur-
key and goose feathers, and
are beautifully coIored and constructed.
JUDGE J. s. COCHRAN. OF Missouri, ia
in town to-day.
The township trustees have brought
suit against Jacob Reislng for keeping
an uncIeau slaughter house. The case
will be tried Friday morning at ! A
before Squire Crooks, at Bridgeport,
and q Jury. Ross Alexander Tor plains
tiff, and n. H Barber for defendant.
ABOUT two o'clock this afternoon,
Mrs. Fun was arrested for assault and
battery upon the person ola Mrs. Ross.
1t seems the women mad some falling
out, when endesring epithets were ex,
changed pretty freely. Mrs. Etun ad
the law on her side, but instead OF taxi
ing that che concluded broom stlck
would be more effective. She was
, brought before his honor, the mayor,
and fined 81 and costs.
THERE are from fifteen hundred to
two thousand over from Wheeling to-
day, aud carriages and teams driving
: through the streets make such clouds
OF dust that there is fear entertained
that we will have to dig our way out
when it settles.
Irmay be interesting to some per
8 sous who are no better versed In such
things than we were short time ago
when we asked il the blast furnace
would stop during the hot months, 10
know that the fire in them ia never al
lowed to 20 out from the time it is
started till the furnaces and brick are
entirely burned out, which usually hap
pens in two or three years. The heal
Is 90 intense that il the fire in the fur.
D naces was allowed to 60 out it would
= take as long as two months to heat W
! again.
BELLAIRE.
The dissatisfaction among the mer
at the B. 81 0. work shops continues
Up 10 this morning about fifteen bac
left. There are about one hundred
men employed at these works in differ
ent capacities, and the dissatisfaction II
general. There 10 one little thing IL
connection with this reduction OF tn
t price OF labor that is of interest 10 tb
n travelling public and all who ship good
8 over the railroads. We wonder il tn
r Central Division OF the B. d o. rail
e road together with all other rsiroa,
. companies OF the State OF Ouio, Will
they are reducing the time aud wage
OF their employees will remember to re
. duce the fare OF passengers SO as not t
j exceed three cents per mile for q dis
lance OF more than eight miles, and 70
the transportation OF property not +
= exceed Ave cents per ton per mile, whe
It the same is transported q distanc
q OF thirty miles or more. This ! beley
would only be in accordance with tn
law found iu Ohio Laws, vol. 70, page
4 l6I. A word to the rise is general
sufficient, aud the people will certain,
{ have An eye 10 their interest in thi
matter.
