Some $50 boxes Of glassware were ship
ped to-day on the steamer Alice to
Southern cities, by the Acme and Beatty
glass works in this city.
Harry Poth became noisy in the ss-
loon of Peter w etherall, and had de-
sire to whip somebody. He was accom-
modated by Oscar Weser and William
Brady. He has pair of highly colored !
eyes this morning.
This afternoon, Frank Keller, saloon |
keeper, who has been languIshing in Jail
for some time for not paying fines asses
sed against him for violating the liquor
law, made application through w. A.
Owesney, his attorney, for release on
writ of habeas corpus. He claimed that
he had been relieved by the County
Auditor. His petition was refused. He
then appealed his case to the Common
Pleas Court and was released on bail.
John NJ. Cook, Esq, appeared for the
State.
In former letter we mentioned that
"Cofee" Morrissey was assailed some
two weeks ago, in front Of the Postoffice,
on Fourth street, and badly used up. 1t
appears that one Mike Roruck was the
party, and that he Immediately departed
Tor parts unknown. On Saturday night,
be, no doubt, supposing that the
matter had had time to blow
over, returned to his old stamping
ground. The police were notified OF the
fact, and succeeded in dragging" their
game at the waiter girl saloon. He was
placed in the lookup to await hearing.
Henry McCristsl some time sgo got
on drunk and visited Madame Ander-
sons bagnio. He felt In a smashing
humor, and proceeded to demoli, h every.
thing he could get his hands upon, and
ended by hitting the madame over the
head. He also went into the kitchen OF
Mosgroves U. S. Hotel, and undertook
TO carve the cook with butcher knife.
He raised "csin" generally everywhere
he went and then disappeared
from the city. The Mayor received
intelligence this morning that he would
pass through the city this afternoon on
the Panhandle, and sent one of his
police to the.depot to arrest him. He
succeeded in bsgging his "game when
No. came in, and he is now reposing in
the lock, up awaiting hearing.
A temperance meeting was held Sum
day afternoon in the Fifth Street Meth
odist Church. Rev. }. ID. Walker, of
Adrian, Mich, presided. Rev. Walker
addressed the meeting at some length,
the idea he intended to convey being
that the wife ard children OF u drunkard
suffered more from his vice than he did
himself. He cited his own family, for
example, stating that his father for Ii
number of years had been an hsbitual
drunkard. and that his mother aud her
children suffered deeply from the re-
suit of it. 1t was announced that
Capt John X. Barber, secretary OF the
Union Temperance Murphy movement
in Pittsburgh, would be here next Satur.
day evening to conduct u regular MUIR
ply meeting in the chapel OF the First
Presbyterian Church. Rev. Gray, OF
the Hsmline NJ. Z. Church, pronounced
the benediction.
We concluded that it would be in our
removal of the waiter girl saloon, and
proceeded to interview different parties
interested. It's certain that Rev. Reedy
will no longer be the ruling spirit in the
concern, for be assured Us that he was
undoubtedly going away, bui when We
casually remarked that the boys would
have to hunt some other place for their
headquarters, he said he guessed they
would still have the opportunity OF hold
ing forth IN the same place, and that the
officials of the city would find out that
some one else would run the establish
ment, and it would not be an i'm.
provement on his either. Mr..
Lowry, the present bar-keeper, said that
he did not feel that he was bound by any
contract of Reedy's, and the only reason
he would have for not running q waiter
girl saloon in Steubenvile, WAS that
there were more roughs in the city than
any place he had ever been in. We con-
clude, on the whole that our PEG lie are
not going TO get rid OF the system as essi-
~ ss they imagined.
Inasmuch MS it had been heralded all
over the city that last Saturday night
would be the finish OF the Reedy waiter
girl saloon in this city, everybody was
anticipating q grand benefit, with any
amount of high old rackets, a iull police
docket Monday morning, and the news
papers overlooking with accounts Of the
doiags OF the gentry" But ali expect
tation came ~ naught, tor outside o.
several jangies, and one little knock,
down a. the saloon Of Peter Wethersli
near the Cleveland and Pittsburgh depot,
nothing worthy of note occurred. The
W. z. s. had q large crowd assembled, and |
any quantity of lager was slowed away,
with the usual result Of putting various
parties 10 fighting humor. But there
was restraint placed upon their ac-
tions. The Mayor, with his full force o.
camps, were looking out Tor |
something to turn up, and were on hand |
in the neighborhood TO take hand. The |
brass buttons of the police and the form
liable form of the Mayor had cooling
effect on the enthusiasm OF tho parties |
who usually furnish these items of inter.
est. An endeavor was made or the cor
ner of Third and Market streets to start |
q row at about twelve o'clock, but before
it got fully under Roadway the guar
dams of the peace and quietness OF The
city were on hand, and gave the psrtici-
pants to understand that the thing
wouldn't work, and they evidently
thought SO too.
