MARTINS FERRY.
The election passed of very quietly
,.s,erdsv-or rather we should say cleo
lion. for there were Mrse, township, cor
poration and school. Each one OF these
r4quired separate ballot boxes and sepa.
rate Judges and clerks. The same
v.s the case in Bridgeport.
lD the three elections in Martins Ferry
there we-r at least fifty candidates, con
-rquentiy AN immense amount OF scratch
ING Wa, necessarily done.
Az occurrence took place Sunday
morning about clock, that caused less
comment than any similar affair that has
taken place for = long time. Al that
time Of the night officer MOssburg at
remp,ed 10 arrest Il man named Green,
for drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
Green resisted and attempted to get
away. breaking loose from MoSSburg and
running. The latter then drew his re-
yolver and fired, the shot taking effect IN
Green leg, causing painful flesh wound.
Assistance then arriving, Green was con-
yrved 10 his boarding house, where he
now lies. No hearing of the case was
had Yesterday, partly on account of the
election. and partly because Of no COM
plants being made. There Will probably
BE nothing done with the case until
Green i, able To bee out.
Different versions of the affair have
become current. one Is that the oihcrr
vac drunk. and about IL di>orderly hIm-
.rlf f.. III. man hr attempted to arrest.
Another statement j. that he was not
drunk ii, uI. and that the shooting
Wa, necessary. However, 1t Will taka
, mljcial Investigation to ascertain the
truth \, we mentioned, the affair
caused but little comment, seemingly no
more interest being taken in the affair
than there would be in an ordinary ar
rest
4 NUMBER of persons from Martin >

BRIDGEPORT.
The three elections monopolized at
tention in Bridgeport, yesterday. II
there was anv news no one knew 1t.
HENCEFoRrH We intend to put the .Et-
paville news, under the head of Bridge
port simply because .Etnaville belongs
10 Bridgeport. and Is within her corpor
att limits.
one of the guide rolls in the Etna
broke Yesterday forenoon The guide mill
will consequently be stopped three or
four days. The breakage of the roll gives
au opportunity to repair the heating fur
uace. which will be done.
