| on Saturday evening, at the usual hour.
WE could not get the report Of the
proceedings of the railroad committees
/ that met in our city, yesterday in time
for this publication, but will give it to-
morrow
OVER THE RIVER.
The exodus of trampS from Wheel
! ing has served to increase the attendance
of those migratory individuals at the
Martins Ferry lookup. The room is
not quite SO large and well ventilated rs
the police court room in Wheeling, and
! it is therefore an easier matter to fill it to
its capacity. 1t is very seldom. however,
that the same individual sleeps there
twice, the labor hating mortals prefer
ring to move on to larger city, where
they will have more opportunities to cx-
ercisc their propensity for doing
people.
The Ohio City mill has been running
TO its full capacity on single turn for
some time past, and in ashort time it
will be- run double turn \ number Of
new nail machine, are being put in at
present. and they are all needed. The
mill is making nice little sum out Of
nails shipped to Pittsburgh.
The new National Bank will be or
! ganiZcd next Saturday.
Oh next Friday night there will be Il
variation in the spelling school. Thirty
pupils under the age of fifteen are to be
selected, who will spell against fifteen
/ adults, or persons over fifteen, no one be-
/ ing excluded except school teachers, they
being supposed to be the best orthogra-
phsts. The spelling school last Friday
night was successful, but there was not
the same wild interest and enthusiasm
manifested rs ut the preceding match,
the older folks who were vanquishcd at
the first fight, being reluctant to be whip
pcdagaln.
The most interesting thing to Martins
FrIryuns at present, is the Lawlcss trial
The verdict is anxiouSly awaited. \
dispatch received from st. ClnirsviIle
last night mt ten o'clock stated that the
jury had not then agreed upon Il verdict,
and the impression was that they would
would stay ont oil night.
IT Is rumored in NJ. f. that new liq-
uor saloon is tc BE- started shortly 10y
man from Wheeling. 1t will be located
AT the south end of tn" city. The town
has been pretty free from saloons since
the crusade movement, no one daring
to open first class establishment. True
whisky WAS to be had all the time, but it
was anything but good, and had to BE-
obtained slyIy. n. B.-This intorma-
ton il second. handcd.)
Dick RICHARDS is It mortal born to
trouble Last Friday, we mentioned
fight he had had with IN employee in the
.Etna mill, in which he gave one blow
and lngloriously fled, by that means
getting OFT without u scratch himself.
1 Well, on last Saturday evening, he dis
PLAYED more courage. Having taken on
a large quantity of regular fighting "Jer-
sey lightning he went to q house
| some place in the embryo city,
and got into difficulty with
! George Bottles, from Wheeling. He
choked Bottles until several women
in the house thought he was going to
break the lattcr's neck and they inter
lrred and pulled him of. 1t is an un-
decided question rs yet whether he con-
ouered Bottles. or the bottle, conquered
| him.
THEY tell good story on Jimmy"
Lewis. ofthe .Etna mill. which, although
the circumstances occurred last summer
has not yet spoiled. Jimmy owned n lit
tie chestnut colorcd dog that he valued
very highly. In fact, Jimmy has strong
affections and actually loved the
dog. One day one Of Jimmy
friends came running up to him where
he WAS at work, and told him that his
dog had Just been killed 10y II train.
Down dropped the tools and off Jimmy
started with more speed than most per-
sons would ever have believed lie could
exhibit. Sure enough, there at the side
| of the track lay the mangled, bleeding
and lifeless remains of the uniortunat"
dog. Jimmy's heart wellcd over with
grief and gathering up the bleeding
remnants of his beloved purp, and re-
tirlng behind the friendly shade of II
neighboring bank, he sat down and wcpt
bitterly over the untimcly end Of his
once lively, attcctionate and flea bearing
pet. But how uncertain is truth on this
mundane sphere, for while Jimmy was
engaged in giving vent to his almost I'M
bcarable grief, what should come along
but the very pup whose demise he thought
he was lamenting. All thy tears over
the wrong dog.
SEVERAL days nso.ths managers Of tn"
.Etna Mill put up motto" to tn" Giiect
that any man in their employ VINO Is
caught entering liquor saloon vii! be
instantly discharged. One man broke
this rule on Monday, and received his
discharge that evening.
MAYOR DEAN has not had case be-
fore him this " eek, - far.
Jouy DARBY, of the .Etna mill, has
invented AN arrangement to prevent the
nuts on rail connections from getting
loose and coming off. The Pennsylvania
railroad offered II reward OF $4,000 to
ANY person who would invent something
that would be effective in that way.
BRIDGEPORT merchants are preparing
for spring. They keep fresh garden
seeds prominently displayed for sale.
