Came or Tt-MiscellaneOus Items.
Last night "Pesnut" Peter Miller,
who keeps a saloon on North Sixth street,
gave a hoodoo in honor of the fact that 1t |
was his birthday. Now, Peter is pretty !
we'll up in yesrs, and we should think |
that every year added thereto would
make him sad. But 1t appears that 1t Is
not SO. 1t matters not TO him that he IS
one year nearer his long home than he
WAS this time last year. he was very
happy over the event. He invited all oils
friends to the hoodoo, and allowed his
beer and wine to flow down their throats
as freely as water. He also had band
of music and inaugursted dancing as one
of the enioyments. Peter was so happy
that he allowed large quantity OF his
beer and wine to flow down
his own throat, and that made
him happier still. We suppose
the fun would have continued on in one
uninterrupted stream until daylight had
it not been Tor one little circumstance.
Among the guests was one Tom Hogan
and Mike Russell Now, there is ven-
delta between these two individuals,
arising out of the fsct that Hogsn Is one
of the old workmen at the Acme glass
works who were discharged, and Russell
is one OF the Brooklyn men who were
brought to this city to take the dis
charged mems places. Both are regarded
as knockers by their friends, and conse.
quently have reputation at stake. Tie
natural consequence OF their meeting was
that there was fight, in which Hogan
got hit IN the mouth with beer
glass, spelling his good looks consider
ably. He had several friends there, and
this caused Russell to think that 1t would
not be very healthy for him IN that re-
gion, and departed suddenly for rein
torcements. He returned with them at
ter little time, and an indlscrimlnate
firing OF reyolyers Immediately began.
As all outside parties made themselves
scarce, and there was no one to intercept
stray bullets, the usual result took place
no one was hit. One fellow had the rim
of his hat shot of, and that was the near
est approach TO fatality we have to re-
cord. Tins afternoon Hogan was arrest
ed, and the police are after Russell, and
when he is captured they Will have
hearing before the Mayor. Two or three
windows IN the neIghborhood were
pierced with the flying bullets, and the
residents are much exercIzed over the
matter, and are earnestly demanding the
punishment OF the participants.
Steubenville seems to be afflicted with
gang of pick-pockets, They loter
around the depots and places where
crowds are likely to grather. A lady
had her pocket picked while going up
the river or the lower road yesterday,
and Mrs. j. ii. Dawson, while on her
way down on the same road, was relieved
OF her pocket book. A couple of suspl.
cious characters were arrested by Mr.. j.
j. Robinson, baggage master OF the Z. q
| +. road, and Officer WorthIngton, but as
nothing was found on their persons, they
were released. Mrs. Dawson's pocket
book was afterwards found lying on the
railroad track, with the contents eI-
tractei.
Michael Donovan, who lives on North
Third street, was hit on the head with
plate or bowl by Mrs. Dennis Dunn,
sunday evening, and his skull was
cracked. He is very low, and may
not survive it. 1t appears that he
went into her residence TO see
her husband, and while there she struck
him. As no ono was present but these
three parties, and he is unable to tell
any thing about it, DO facts have been
elected No arrest has yet taken place.
Thieves broke into the grocery store
OF Mr. Alex Hebron last night and got
away with goods amounting to about $50.
| No clue.
Mir. Jesse Campbell left for Columbus
this evening to enter upon the duties OF
his office. He has been appointed
Assistant Deputy Warden of the peni-
Tertiary
Judge Patrick will open court on
Friday next for the purpose of confirm
ing sales.
The celebration held by the Ancient
Order of HiberHisns last night in honor
Of st. Patrick went off very pleasantly.
Addresses were delivered by Revs.
Father Wismann and Father Montag.
Music and dancing were INDUCED in and
the enjoyment was universal.
