A NUMBER of orr citizens were in at.
tendance at court yesterday, on the case
of Mrs. Dobler Us. George Swieg, a suit
for damages under the Adair law which
was dismissed at the plaintiffs cost.
THERE was "et up" in the cold
weather on yesterday; the sun shone out
bright and balmy, feeling comparatively
pleasant, and rendering everything more
cheerful.
THE Council will hold meeting to.
night, in lieu of its regular meeting on
Tuesday night last, at which time there
WAS not a quorum present. 1t is hoped
that enough members will be in atten-
dance tonight, as business of importance
demands attention.
The interest of our citizens in regard
to the proposed McConnellsville and
Bellaire railroad, is still on the increase,
and some of the parties express the opin.
ion that the new road is as good as a fixed
fact, if confidence is to be placed in the
appearance of things regarding the mat
ter.
A RUNAWAY occurred since our last
report but tortunatel y no serious damage
was done thereby. A horse attached TO
the delivery wagon of Gill " Walker,
grocers of this city, became frightened
and ran away. Mr.. Gill jumped out, but
was only slightly hurt, and the horse was
caught before loing much harm.
We learn that in addition to the gem
eral bushes. matters three important
ordinances will he before the Council to-
night for consideration. Ordinances in
regard TO the erect. on Of a market-house,
vagrancy AMI to repeal or modify the
beer ordinance We believe that the in
terests of our city demand, and that a
large majority of our people desire, the
passage of all three of the ordinances,
and hope to record such as the final ac-
ton of the Council in each case.
are pleased to learn that Captain n
B. Rowles, our City Marshal, who has
been confined at home for number OF
weeks, with broken leg, is able TO about
again. Though not able for duty, yet
with the aid of crutches he manages to
get around town little for day or two
past.
THIS has been a good winter for the coal
dealers. so far rs home consumption j,
concerned. The cold weather has. kept
up constant demand for it, yet it seems
lust little singular to us, how Barnes
Vile can have coal at 5! and g cents per
bushel, while with our abundant supply
and superior facilities, Bellaire mast pay
S cents.
OSE of the township trustees informs
us that the arrival of "tranps,' and "dcS-
titute persons in our city, has been ma
tcriallv on the decrease of late. Wheth-
er the new order of things, putting them
to work breaking stone for the city, has
any influence in the matter or not, We
are inclined to favor the movement ms Il
proper one. We have no sympathy for
the professional tramp Il man who
has a trade, or who is ablc-bOdied and
we'll has no business to be sponging MS
living, but should be made to earn it in
some way But this new regulation
should be iudiciouglv enforced. In these
hard times many worthy people are TN
fortunate, and occasionally one Of these
real objects Of sympathy and charity
might be made to suffer by a too strenu-
Gus and universal enforcement of such
rules. Officials should always exercise
Judgment, for the object of law ls, not to
prosecute the innocent, but to protect So
cetv. 1t is better to even be imposed on
occasionally, than to injure and prosecute
poor unfortunate, whose path way
through life has been strcwn with thorns,
al d whose cup of bitterness is already
full. The greatest of all is charity;
and we are told that In the final reckon
inc il will be more fortunate "to have
given even cup OF cold water in char
ity, than to have been the conqucror Of
Kingdoms, and lived in luxury upon the
spoiIs.'
Mr.. TEMPLIN'S picture room on Bel
mont street, was crowded to overlooking
last night, and many of them, in fact al
who made a purchase, went home with
greater bargains than it was ever before
their good fortunes to obtain. Mr.. &.
W. Templin, the proprietor of this estab-
lishment, is true gentleman in every
sense of the word and one who has dealt
honorably and fairly with our citizens,
who will no doubt remember him kindly
wherever he may be- He goes from here
to Steubenvillc. We wish Mr.. Templin
abundant success at all times and under
all circumstances.
