Last Night.

Republican Meeting at Bellaire
Last Night.
Special to the InteIIigCncer.
BELLAIRE, o., September lO,-COl. c,
L, Poorman addressed largea nd enthu'
siastic Republican meeting here tonight,
and made by far the ablest speech that
has been made here this campaign. In
reviewing the speeches Of Allen, Blandy,
Trevellick and others, he completely cuts
the ground from under them, and leaves
them hanging ignOminiously by the cob
webs Of their own weaving. c.

Central Hall was we'll filled last night
when Col. Poorman began his speech
amid storms oiapplause, He had spoken
in his usual mastery style for consid.

stepped UP behind John HeatheringtOn
and striking him a stunning blow behind
the ear, turned TO escape. lie was watch.
ed, however, by Ham HeatheriRgton, and
frOund escape was not so easy. A diff.
Guilty ensued between these two,
aud friends Of each interfering, the
fight soon became general, A panic enSued,
and most Of the large crowd made the best
Of their way down the two flights Of mar.
row stairs 10 the street. Several shots
were fired, and many Of the combatants
drew knives. For n while II looked like
a very serious battle would take place,
but by prompt and energetic steps this
was prevented. After the excitement
had somewhat subsided, the Colonel again
began his speech aud continued until
he was through. Perhaps II any one
but Colonel POOrman had been the
speaker Of the evening the melee would
have broken up the meeting for good,
It was said in the hall and on the streets
after the affair, that 1t was gotten up ex.
pressly for tho purpose Of breaking up
the assembly, but we hope and believe
that this was not true-Or at any
rate that the Democrats had nothing
whatever to do with it. A gentle.
man told us yesterday about
noon to look out for business At the meet
Ing, and another gave It as his opinion
that whenever the friends Of tho Heath.
eringtOn family and those Of tho CrOzier
boys came in contact first there would be
n row. The origin of the feud was at a
wedding on Thursday evening, when vii.
bur IIeatherington pretty completely
cleaned out Kelley CrOzier. 1t Is gem
orally believed that the affair has not
been finished tinallyyet.
This state Of affairs Is disgrace 10 the
town. No. a policeman was In the hall
during the fight, nor did one arrive until
the coast was clear, II the officials can
not be relied on the citizens should take
the affair in hand and adopt such meas.
ures rs would elleclually prevent the re.
occurrence Of such a disgraceful
row. Notwithstanding the disturbance,
the inClcment weather, aud the un.
favorableness Of Central Hall as Il
place to meet, the meeting last night was
highly satisfactory.
Officer Rowles received a dispatch from
yesterday morning requesting
him to arrest three men who had escaped
from Jail In TINT place Thnr.day night.
