MARTINS FERRY.

tention between her and Martins fefry
sfter all Etnaville has been annexed
to Bridgeport's city limits and will come
under her corporation. This Is shame.
1t ought naturally to belong to Martin 5
Ferry, taking the lay of the land ana al
other reasons into consideration, and II
would have belonged to her if the matter
had been rightly negotiated. Martins
Fsrrv advertises for sealed proposals Tor
two new school houses, to go up this sea-'
SON. One of these buildings was to have
been placed in !Ftnaville. We suppose
they will not be SO particular about the
proposals now. -,
The wedding of the season came on
this morning. Mr.. David Parks was
married to Miss Florence Morrison al
the residence of the brides father at ten
o'clock. The Rev. Rambo, Episcopal OF
ReIIaire assisted bv the Rev. Alexander
of Bridgeport. performed the ceremony.
4 number of guests were invited from
Wheeling, Bellaire, Bridgeport ana
neighboring towns and altogether 1t was
/ the most recAurche affair our town has
seen for some time. The young couple
started for Cleveland on the noon tram;
and win go thence TO Niagara Falls ana
! saratoga, Good wishes follow them and
will greet them on their return.
OHIO city is still growing, and presents
the most attractive building sites of any
norton of Martin Ferry. A new school
house is To be put up there TINS
! fall and definite arrangements
ARE about completed by the branch which
left the PRESBYTERIAN church to put up Il
church building this fall also and the
Ohio CITY Nail Works are about COM
pleting negotiations for doubling their
Stock and materially increasing their ca
racity. There Is no one thing, however
that would attract rs much attention to
the place or give il rs great u prestige
over the older parts Of the town rs the
erection of a good hotel, and We hope
soon to record this as fact.

C.. \. GAURNER, editor Of the st.
. Clairsvillr Gazet" Was visiting Martini
/ Ferry to-day.
THE other day we were resting down
on the wharf bout, waiting for the ferry
boat.and amused Ourselye. looking ut the
people coming down and going up the
hin. A negro named "Oat Gilmore
was filing his water hOgshead IL the
river. and by series of blows administer
ed with heavy leather whip got his
horse started. The horse looked old.
There was scarcely enough flesh on 1t
To- cover the bones and on one hip
/ there was a raw sore place
| bleeding and covered with flies "a larg"
rs dinner plate. The inhuman wretch,
the negro we mean, whipped the hors"
and sworr at il, and managed to get II
about hundred wards when We could
SEQ it trcmblr. and its legs shake ike it
was going to fall. He allowed it to rest
II moment, and then the same whipping
was gone through with. This happened
four times before they got up on Water
street. 1t seems strange that those hay
ing power to stop such things, will allow
them and We would point out this special
/ instance 10 the town authorities, and
F.. hope that they will look after it,
Louise LOCKWOOD.
