MAN IN THE II oUsE.-The other day
most interesting affair. happened on the
Island. The facts were told TO US conf
dentially, and we promised not to tell
anybody, and We won't. The names OF
course we suppress, for the tale is one OF
truth, and truth Is stranger than fiction.
1t was midnight; the family had retired
and everybody was asleep except the
watchful proprietor, who slept with on
ear open, so to speak. All at once he
heard, or thought he heard noise. lie
listened Did his ears deceive him? NO,
it must be SO; and while his heart beat
quick and fast, he raised himself upon
his elbow to listen if perchance he could
detect the villain. The noise was rs if
some one was scratching the wall
or feeling his way along the stairs.
Breathless with anxiety, his wife was
nervously nudged, and the man Of the
house, with blood in his eye, and impre-
cations upon his tongue, whispered TO
his wife, 'there's man in the house;
Iii blow his brains OUT and taking
down his shot gun, noiselessly ie!t his
way down stairs, while the alarmed and
frightened household-all women-- by
this time wrought up to the highest
pitch of excitement, were ready to jump
out of the window, or do any other awful
thing.
With bsted breath they crouchcd be
hind the bed, while the proprietor We 4,
into the jaws OF death and the gates Of
hell. They heard his stealthy treade
heard him touch the foot Of the stairs
and heard him walk toward the kitchen
door. Moments were hours. Not sound
was heard. The suspense was intense.
Even the cry of murder from the pro-
prletor would have been relief. But
all was silence and gloom. Still they
waited No shot, no noise, no nothing
Gradually they turned toward the stairs,
and pesring down in the dark, were just
about to call upon their valiant protec-
tor, when dark form came rushing
up the stairs, swearing horribly, uttering
threats against everybody in general,
and his wife in particular, and shooting
into his bedroom, shut the door behind
him with bang, and there was fearful
noise in that bedroom for an hour after,
the most distinguished utterances Of
which was, "msde dampfool of myself"
His wife won't leave chickens tied in the
kitchen over night any more!

BEETHOVEN ExCURsioN.-After seve-
raj airs were performed by the Wheeling
City Band, the steamer Express, Captain
Asa Booth, commander, left the wharf
at IL o'clock Saturday night last, with
the Beethoven excursionists, about two
hundred in number for Parkersburg, her
destination. After landing at Bellaire
and Marietta for additional eXcursionis;s,
she arrived at the point of destination on
Sunday morning at 1880 o'clock, in good
condition, without anything having hap
pened to mar the pleasure of any one.
Upon their arrival at Parkersburg the
party headed by the band marched up to
Andy Aul's restaurant, which place
they made their headqua tiers, and
there dispersed, each to seek their resort
of pleasure. The citizens of Parkers-
burg did all in their power 10 make each
and every one enjoy themselves, which
the Wheeling folks, of courseisvailed
themselves of. Among the features Of
enjoyment was picnic held at the Fair
Grounds, which was largely attended,
and but for the rain which set in in the
latter part of the afternoon would have
proved complete success. At about 6
o'clock P. NJ. All being on board the
! boat started for home and arrived here
safely at 6 A. NJ. yesterday morning,
after having had a safe and pleasant trip.
The Wheeling City Band played excel
lently and frequently livened the air
with their sweet music, which added to
the enjoyment of the occasion. Capt.
Booth and his officers deserve the lasting
remembrance Of the excurtionists, who
showed their high appreciation of them
by the adoption of the following resolu-
lions:
WHEREAS, The Beethoven Singing
Society, having invited number Of citi-
zens of Wheeling to take pleasure eI.
cursion to Psrkersburg, and in addition
to what Inequalities the society was en-
abled to offer, the officers Of the Express
had it in their power to greatly augment
the enjoyment comfort and pleasure of
the excursionists, now 20 give substantial
acknowledgement of their efforts, We
recommend the adoption of the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the Beethoven Singing
Society, as an organization, extends 10 the
officers of the steamer Express their un-
qualified thanks for the untiring efforts
they have made to render the excursion
delightful 70 all, and
Resolved, That each and every passen-
ger who went on the Beethoven excur-
sion TO Parkersburg tender TO Captain
Asa Booth, Clerk Ed. Anshutz, and
Caterer Sam Litten and all other officers
Of the Express, their heartiest acknowl-
edgements for many courtesies ard their
unceasing labor to have all enjoy the trip;
and We unanimously vote that the
steamer Express isa good boat; that its
officers are COMPETENT, courteous ard eff
cient gentlemen, and that we have all
spent most delightful time.

A MIDNIGHT E&CURSlON AND LIS NE
sULT.-There is war between the
Eighth ward people and the Citizens
Street Railway Company, which has been
raging freely since the extension of the
track of the company from Brice's drug
store corner to the present terminus OF
the road. When the charter was granted
to the company, South Wheeling was
all "Independent Republic" or, in other
words, had not been annexed to Wheel
ing. When the town oil South Wheel
ing was corporation in itself, they
granted the company the use of the
streets, provided the road would be ex-
tended to Forty-fourth street within a
certain period. After many post
ponements, the road was extended
to Forty-thrd street, and this
was as far as the directors of the COM
pany were willing to run the track, de-
string to go westward on Forty-third
street towards the river, and the make
connection with the Bellaire street
railway. This the eighth warders OBJ
jected to, insisting that the road
be extended TO Forty-fourth
street, and thence to the river.
The matter was presented to Council.
and that body refused to grant them the
privilege of using Forty-third street,
thus sustaining the people Of the ward
who wanted the road extended to Forty
fourth street. Thus the matter stood
until last Saturday night, at which
time the Directors of the company
had determined TO get in little
bit of strategy. 1t was the intention
to get the track down when they desired
to turn, and after this was accomplished,
it would be a hard matter to get it up
again by legal process. The Eighth
warders got wind Of the intended
move and were prepared to meet them as
the seqal will show. Accordingly when
the iron tongue of midnight had toled
twelve" a sol tiry car might have been
heard rafting DER the stoney street,
driven by Supt. Mike Lotus. In the
car were quietly seated gang of men,
with their tools ready TO accomplish their
object. When the car reached
