Of the lookup.
Two suspicious characters VIII" had
been loafIng around the {. " I. depot
were arrested yesterday, and no charge
being brought against them, they were
released with the understanding thai
they would leave the city. They left.
The citizens of Bclaire will be adj
dressed on the subject of license by DIR,
Grimes. of Cadiz, o., on Friday evening
from the steps Of the Presbyterian
church.
THE license question is being severely
agitated just now, and any one wishing
enlightenment on this momcntous queS-
ton should not fail to hear the dlsc"urS"S
to be delivered by prominent men on
Thursday and Friday evenings.
The Central Square is continually
being used rs ball ground, some boys
always playing there. We like 10 see
this. 1t devclopes the muscles, etc, ana
occasionally enlarges the nose-all OF
which is very nice.
SOME of our Young men are agitatihg
the question of getting up game "t
cricket. 1t is time something new to
amusc the children was introduced, ana
this is the thing. The only objection
one could offer this movement Is that
there isn't enough English about them 10
play it, However, We wish them sue
cess.
A BOARD fence eight feet high was
begun around the windows of the Gala
boosc Yesterday. This is too bad. 1t
don't givca person II chanC" 10 see his
friend, no difference how well he loves
him.
WHERE are the uniforms that our
city police were to get through the re-
suits of that ball last night. Oh! We
forgot; maybe one of the night officers
has the only uniform That could be- pur-
chased with the proceeds, and we never
see him.
EVERYBODY should take stock in the
new street railway. 1t is $50 per share.
Financially. it will no doubt prove
success. Such institutions seldom
fail to pay largely, and owners
Of property should look to their interests
and do what they can Ia forward tn"
matter. There can be no question but
that it will enhance the value ofpr"p"rty
A Man was arrested yesterday. He wa
too drunk to register his name on the city
docket. therefore, we are unable to give
his cognomcn. His case will appear in the
morning.
SOME of the cutters still continue t.
emit very disagrecable oder.
4 CARPENTER whose name We could
not learn, had his foot badly crushed by u
falling timber at the Bellaire nail works
yesterday afternoon.
We cannot see the consistency in hnv-
ing nice houses and old broken down
fences surrounding them, as is the case
in many parts of our city. Il lessons the
. beauty of the house, it looks negligent
and il strikes the observer that the owner
didn't have any money left after build
ing the house, and therefore the old
fences. Do, for gracious sake, fix them
up a little.
We don't want any Of the Siandara
mans "inspiration its too attenuated.
THERE will be match game Of bal
! between the Standard of Wheeling
/ Island and our "B b. b. club, on tn,
. l';,,, S,,ar. Saturday afternoon
