REPORTED DROWNING OF Two MES.-
A report was current on the streets yes.
terday that two Eighth Ward men had
been drowned at BenwOod. Capt. Ed.
Davis went down in buggy, to ascertain
the particulars Of the casualty, and from
him we learn there il no truth in the
report, which probably originated
from an incident which we propose
to relate for the benefit Of those who heard
Of the accident. John Marsh and Octa.
yius Ray, who live in the Eighth Ward,
started Tor Benwood in a buggy on Tues.
day night. They stopped on the top Of
the hill at the ferry and got out Of the
buggy for moment to get a drink, when
the horse started down the hill and the
weight Of the vehicle and the steep incline
forced him into the river. lie was res
cued after some trouble.

NICHOLS, OF WELLSBURG.-On Tuesday
last Col. John d. Nichols, Of Wellsburg,
came down 10 this city in company with
friends TO attend court. He was during
the day admitted to practice in the Coun-
ty Court and appeared as an attorney in
the case OF the First National Bank OF
Wellsburg Is. |. II. Duvall and Harden
Kuhn, administrators OF the estate OF
Adam Kuhn, deceased. After the ad-
jourument Of court he started home.
Missing the evening train, in company
with Captain E. +, Moore he leisurely
walked to Martins Ferry, where he
was importuned to remain over
night and take the early train
for home. He is reported 10 have said,
however, he would go home TO his wife,
As she would be uneasy about him, or die
in the attempt" Rejecting all entreaties
to stay over night he started TO walk home,
and about S o'clock, as the two were
crossing the Glenn's Run bridge, some IS
ieet high-the night being very dark
Nichols proposed TO have a drink, which
the Captain informed him he could not
get BY the way, whereupon he pulled
bottle from his pocket, and while in the
act OF taking drink he staggered back
and fell off the bridge, killing him in
stan,ly by breaking his neck.
His lremaiHs we're taken to Martins
Ferry, and left at the office Of the Mayor
until yesterday morning at IL o'clock,
when after being deposited in a casket
they were forwarded to Wellsburg,
Squire Eagleson held an inquest over
the remains at Martins Ferry, summon
ing the following jurors: 5. &. Cochran,
John Snively, L. Burris, c. Snively, E.
L. Leighton, and Thos. Kinney. In the
verdict the jury say:
After hearing the evidence and exam.
lining the body, We do lind that the decea1'
ed came to his death by accidently falling
from the bridge Of the c. Il p. K. 4, across
the mouth OF tilenn's Run, and not by any
means Of violence. The jury finds the
neck Of the deceased dislocated, blood es-
Gaping from eyes and nose. The distance
the deceased fell is supposed to be about
thirty.ive feet, which the jury do find to
be the immediate cause vi the death,
where the body was found as aforesaid" y
Mr.. Nichols was man Of many vir-
tues, Of bright requirements as lawyer
and at one time enjoyed fine practice,
but of late years has been unfortunate in
his habits, which led on to death.

ALLEGED ATTENDED RAPE.-The citi.
zens OF Bridgeport are just now consider
ably excited over an attempt to rape a
young girl BY man Of high official stand
ing in the NJ. E. Church, and one Of the
principal merchants OF the town. A re.
spectacle girl ofaboutfiteen years OF age,
who resides in Martins Ferry, was in
Bridgeport Saturday evening last waiting
at the toll house for hucEster, friend
Of the family, with whom she intended
riding home. While waiting she walked
around the square to the store OF
Andrew Cloudy, for the purpose Of
purchasing some prunes, It was then
about 10 O'clock, and the girl states that
Mr.. Cloudy while waiting on her made
improper proposals TO her, finally locking
the door to prevent her leaving the room,
She threatened to scream and raise an
alarm, when he was intimidated and un.
locked the door and let her out. On the
street she met the Marshal OF the town,
who escorted her back to the toll house,
but the wagon for which she waited hav-
ing passed she was cared for until morn
ing by the Marshal, when she returned
home.
Mr.. Cloudy, however, claims that the
girls story is fabrication, and an at
tempt to blackmail him. Also that she is
slightly deranged, and that he pitied her
and treated her as a gentlemen should,
never thinking OF insulting her.
The case will be investigated this
morning, we understand, as the friends Of
the girl have entered proceedings against
the merchant.

SC4LPISG THEATRE TICKETS. - Some
DAYS ago Manager Hamilton observed
that the pile Of tickets in the Treasurer
office at his Opera House had decreased
considerably in size, while the currency
on hand had not correspOndiugly in
creased. He therefore instructed his door.
keeper TO "look a leetle out" for the
missing pasteboards. The consequence
was that two young men employed at
lIare's plumbing establishment, named
James Barr and - Redmond, were
yesterday arrested upon suspicion Of be-
ing concerned in the supposed larcency.
They were taken before Justice Caldwell,
and upon being informed OF the nature OF
the charge against them, denied that they
had stolen any tickets, but said that they
had procured them from an employe at
the Opera House the past winter.
Barr had ten tickets in his possession, and
Redmond six; the former admitted that
he had used three, while the latter CON
iessed that he had thus far "dead.headed
it"twice. The tickets were given up vol
UNFAIRLY. As already noted, Barr claimed
that the tickets had been given to him
last winter, the extreme thinness Of which
story was quite apparent when the paste.
boards were found TO he stamped Sept.
eth and that the defendant had only a
few days ago borrowed the stamp used at
the Opera House from an usher on pre-.
tence Of using it to stamp passes a; a
boat club ball. The two defendants were
recently employed TODD some plumbing in
the Opera House, at which time no
doubt the tickets were distracted. In
medately on being confronted by the
severe judicial presence Of the Squire, and
after emptying their pockets Of tickets,
the amateur scalpers desired that Mana.
ger Hamilton be sent for 20 that the case
mightbe compromised. The good.natured
manager consented to drop the matter,
provided the tickets used he paid for and
the remainder returned. The boys came
down with the stamps, and turned over
the tickets, and after settling their little
bills, with the Justice departed, let us
hope the better for their brief experience
in petty thieving.

THIEVES AFTER THEIR WINTER 1fATs.
There are evidently some persons in
this community who intend to lay in a
stock Of head gear for the approaching
winter whether by fair means or foul.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning an un-
successful attempt was made to enter the
hat store of Mf. Charles Behler, 1913
Market street, by a midnight mechanic
whose address Is not known. The would.
be burglar was frightened off by small
dog belonging on the premises. This is
the third attempt which has recently been
made TO burglarize Mr.. Behler's estab-
lishment. Charley thinks the knights Of
the night have not heard that he pur.
chased a revolver day or two ago for
their especial benefit.

Miss ADA GRAY.-The Opera House
was comfortably filled to witness the act.
ing Of this charming lady last evening.
The play, Article A." was the same as
presented the night previous, but with
finer effect. The drama is one which,
though it does not call for a display Of
those grand effects OF which Miss Gray is
said to be capable, yet affords brilliant
opportunities for the exhibition Of the
emotions which are strikingly peculiar to
the female heart. On such occasions
Miss Gray is remarkably happy in her
efforts to please. Mr.. Ellis az "Victor'
and Mr.. Owen a. "Potan' offer fine sup.
port. Mr.. Wayerly as "Duhamel," while
in the main good, yet with little more
stiffness in his manner at times and
more pathos at others, could secure a
more enduring popularity. The rest
Of the troupe do their best to please. The
company Is one that deserves encourage.
ment from our citizens and full house
should greet the great society play Of
Charity" tonight.
Charity is the work Of W. S. Gilbert,
Of London, author OF a number OF spright-
ly comedies. The play had run OF two
hundred nights in London, and one hun
dred nights at the Fifth Avenue Theatre
in New York. II is pure in tone and ele-
waited in sentiment, dealing with phase Of
London life and teaching the divine les.
son Of forgiveness.
On Friday evening Miss Gray will take
a benefit, when East Lynne will be pro.
duced. OF Miss Gray's benefit we shall
have more to say tomorrow.
