BELLAIRE LOcAIs-The services Of
yesterday morning at the n. Z. Church

Quite large number embraced the OPP
pOrtunity OF partaking OF the Lords Sup

Rev. Jas. Alexander, missionary to
India under the auspices OF the Presby-

The excursion TO LockwOod's Grove

cring the state OF the weather.
Many OF our citizens went down to
Cresap's on the Courier Saturday, and
one Of them came back considerably the
worse Tor wear, as the result OF partici-
pating in the row caused by the stabbing
Of Speidel,
The picnic which went to Wallace's
Orchard betook themselves into the old
flour mill while the rain was falling, and
found there some hard cider, which, as
they were dry, they lessened in bulk.
They drank more than n man who is not
accustomed to drinking can stand, and
consequently the Fireman's picnic was
not the only one not run on the strict
temperance plan.

mic was disgrace to the county, Fight
ing was the order OF the day, Fully a
score Of single combats took place, and
the fight Of the day engaged nearly one
hundred men. The origin oil this no one
knows. Two different crowds were push
ing in two different ways when some one
struck some other one. Immediately the
battle became general. Everybody struck
everybody with everything. Clubs, bricks,
stones, branches OF trees, cinders, and all
other get.at-abIe substances flew in wild
proiusion. Naturally, something over a
dozen OF the two factions got badly bruised,
and about the only grief that the citizens
feel Is that their injuries were not more
severe. Such things as these should not
be Countenanced by any one. Beer at
piCnics Is responsible Tor more disorder
and law breaking than all the saloons in
existence, 1t Is greatly to the credit Of
the Phunny Hook and Ladder Co. that
they refused to participate in the picnic
, ii beer was sold.
The parade prior to the picnic passed
/, off well, and was a credit to Bellaire,
The only Objectionable feature was that
/ old hook and ladder truck with the
Aashy new hOse.reels. A new one il
| sadly needed.
During the picnic policeman mounted
the truck of the Phunny Co. The Cap
tain ordered him down, but without et'
feet. Another policeman was then sent
to remove him, but the fool threatened
to use his mace II an attempt was made
to depose him. When he saw the other
! officer return with seven foot carpenter
: the way he alighted and retired was eau
ton, though. That Is rather a peremp
tory way Of putting king off Of hi
throne.
