AFrightened Country Man.

Yesterday a country man came into
the city and was meandering around
viewing the sights, when he happened to
espy the red flag hung out in Alley Z
between Market and Eof streets
Thinking probably that there might be
cheap auction house where the flag was
displayed, he turned around and saw q
small boy standing close by, whom he
asked if "thsr was a auction goin' on up
thar" The small boy replied that there
was. The country man went to the door
of the house, but was told by the watch
man that there was smallpox in that
house. The country man started down
the alley at Dexter speed, and the last
seen of him by the crowd gathered at the
mouth of the alley on Market street, he
was steering for the country.

Results OF the Strike.

The net results of the miners strike
have not yielded very handsome returns
to the investors. They were beng paid
40 cents per wagon before they came out,
and without any trouble or complaint on
the part of the bosses. After renting q
hall for four or FIVE weeks and paying for
the privilege of meeting there, some OF
the very men who have been preaching
the tyranny of the operators, have, when
the ultimatum was presented to them OF
either working for the old rate, or leaving
the works, argued with equal vehemence,
the necessity of making the best possible
compromise With their employers, some
expressing the tear, OF having to go to
work, if they could get work at all, for
even q lower figure. Aside from, and
more important than tho pecunisry loss
suffered by these men, Is the fact that not
less than six families have been perms-
nently broken up, the fathers having had
to go to other places in search OF work.
The miners strike ended like all other
strikes, with loss to those least able TO
bear 1t.

Getting Better.

David Nesbitt, the lad who was so
badly hurt at the Refinery fire few day
ago, is, we are glad to say, rapidly inns
proving. 1t was thought at the time Of
the accident some of his bones were
broken, but such was not the case, and
under the skilltul medical treatment OF
DR.. J. q. Hupp and careful nursing by a
tender mother, he has so far recovered as
to have been out of bed for a few mo-
ments yesterday. With the exception of
splitting considerable quantities OF blood,
there is nothing in his condition to cause
any uneasiness TO his family or friends.
Much interest is felt in this case
throughout the city, the father OF the boy
being well known as an Industrious
blacksmith of Centre Wheeling.

lEOuOrably Settled.

Yesterday morning MIR. John Smith,
who recently purchased a lot of cattle
from the firm of Finch & Gray, Mayes-
vile, KY, and who was detained in this
over Monday night by Mr.. Fink, settled
all Indebtedness to the cattle firm in
such a manner as to show that he had
no intention Of swindling them. In
giving his check for $3.50 to Messrs.
Finch IL Gray, which WAS made payable
at the Farmers and Drovers' Bank, at
Waynesburg, Pa, he told them, unin-
tentionsliy, so he said, that he lived at
GAINESVILLE, Pa. Mr.. Finch, after Smith
left Msyesville, telegrsphed to the bank at
Waynesburg, asking if such a person as
John Smith, of Clarksvllle, Pa, was good
for the amount, $3.50. The bank tele.
graphed back to Msysville that no such
man was known by them, or did busi-
ness at their bank. Thereupon, Fink
came to this city last Sunday and await
ed the arrival of tho steamer Andes, on
which Smith and the cattle, eighteen in
number, were coming to this city. When
the boat arrived, Fink went to Smith and
told him about the message 70 the bank
at Wsynesburg, ana the reply tina: he
had received. Smith then told Fink to
telegraph to Cssteel, Green county,
Pa, as he had, through mis-
take, given him the wrong address.
Fink did as directed, and money order
for $3.50 was telegraphed back to this
city. After all matters had been set
Alright, Smith left for bis home last even
ing with the cattle. Smith explained in
this way the misunderstanding: He
was In the habit OF doing business at
both GAINESVILLE and Casteel Pa, and
often had letters sent TO him st either
Office but was known at the Farmers,
and Drovers' Bank of Wanes5ure, Pa,
as John Smith, of Cssteel. This ends
what was supposed to have been an at
tempt at great swindle.

StEOy ~ C" DoZCh LkRb.
Yesterday afternoon, between four and
FIVE o'clock, while squad of guards, I'M.
der command of Capt. Schafer, were
practlcing with the "gstling gum" near
what is known as the old race track, they
frightened team of horses that were sp-
preaching. The squad we're stationed, it
seems, near the pike inside the fence. AS
the team came up, the gun began TO
fire. causing the horses to become
unmanageabe. They made short
turn and began to run toward
S:amm's hotel, and wren the turn
was made, an old gentleman, who was
sitting on the front seat OF the wagon,
was thrown violently upon the ground,
receiving injuries about the head and
shoulders of serious nature. An old
lady, who was seated in the conveyance,
was considerably shaken up. Mr.
Phillips, one of the owners OF the team,
was jerked of the seat and drawn several
wards, when the lines broke and released
him from a perilous position. One Of
the horses. owned by Mr.. Lucas, was
thrown down aud MANNED, besides break.
ing the harness, the tongue OF the wagon
and destroying lot of huckstering
goods to the value OF several dollars.
When Messrs. Lucas and Phillip:
arrived IN this city they found that the
old gentleman, Mr.. Benz. Wallace, was
SO badly hurt that it was necessary tc
call in physician.
There 10 too much csrelessness used in
the handling of such guns, and we are
not at all surprised at the above result
though it may have resulted in more
serious nature. The use of these fire
arms or guns should be stationed bach
among the hills, far away from the pub
! lie highways. We hope this accident
will be warning to the boys, and thai
hereafter they will be more cautious.
