THE BETTER MAYA common source
Of the petty thieving that is done now-a-
days 10 the propensity Of servant girls to
keep bad company. A few days ago a
pair OF pan,aloons, containing 81 In the
pockets, were stolen from An Island man.
The day previous to the theft a servant
girl came over from q neishboring house,
being escorted by her "fellow," to visit
the girl employed where the money was
stolen, and II is suspected that the escort
is the author Of the theft. The better
way ia TO allow no mi TO court and kiss
the hired girl except the man Of the
house.

No ExcuRaoN.-Mr. Bellville, the
agent IN this city Of the Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati and 81. Louis road, informs US
that there will be no excursion, aa pre-.
yiously announced, from this city to
Pittsburgh to witness the performances
Of Edwin Booth at the Fifth Avenue
Opera House. The reason assigned is
that the sale Of seats is already so large
that excursionists would be unable to
witness the performance, and 10 u the
excursion with that expectation would
be deception upon the public.

TAKING Our LiCEssEs.-The City
Council will meet in regular session on
next Tuesday evening, at which time the
licenses OF coffee houses and ordinariea
will be renewed. 1t is likely, therefore,
that the session will be protracted until a
late hour.
Upto the present time no petitions for
either coffee house or ordinary licenses
have been filed with the City Clerk, but
a number Of saloon keepers have called
and made Inquiries about licenses. The
indications are that there will be consid.
cradle OF a falling off in the number Of
applications for license this year.

YESTERDAY MoRs1se's FiRE.-The
fire in the rear Of the IaTRLLIdENcER OF.
fee yesterday morning proved to be more
disastrous than was at first supposed.
The shed consumed was used by Mr.. @.
A. Helmbright for storing leaf tobacco,
and contained about $500 pounds Of the
weed, which was so badly damaged that
It had to be thrown away. When
first discovered the Hames had gain.
ed considerable Roadway, but were
held in check by Mr.. Geo. salade, who
had q hose from the Opera House, until
the arrival Of the Atlantic steamer.
Some delay ensued after the arrival ..of
the steamer before II could be got into
operation, owing TO the wagons and drays
which blockaded the alley and pre-
vented the proper connection from
being made Immediately.
Mr.. Helmbright's loss amounted to
about $500, which was covered by insur.
auce in the German Company, Of this
city. He yesterday effected a settlement
with the company, and will receive 5000
upon his loss. The origin OF the IRE is un-
known, but it is generally believed to
have been the work Of an incendiary.

BRIDeEpoRr IrEMs.-The first step for
our new Mayor To take Is to insist upon
our HCity Dads" erecting street lamps.
The old inhabitants have looked for
ward to April anxiously for the arrival
Of u new family to gossip about. The
present ones are talked to death.
The general belief Of the citizens was
that James Woodcock, the defeated can.
didate for Councilman, desired to increase
their taxes by making Improvements up
the pike. His defeat is, therefore, easily
accounted for.
Miss Carrie Rhodes entertained her III.
merous friends last night by a select
gathering at her home. The young people
enjoyed themselves very much indeed,
and desire to return thanks for the hos
pitality eyinced on the occasion.
John L. Woodfeld's cigar factory was

Bro.
The strike at the La Belle Glass Wor ks
Ia Of greater magnitude than was at first
supposed. The strikers number forty.
five and are boys from the age Of 8 to Is
years. They demanded an increase Of
wages to the amount Of FIVE cents a turn"
or ten cents a day, which would in the
aggregate amount TO about $25 per week.
This increase the manager. Mr.. A. II.
Baggs, refused to grant, and hence the
strike. By q careful comparison the
manager has ascertained that the wages
hei paying are fully as great as those
paid by the factories in Wheeling, and he
has made the liberal proposition that
they appoint a committee 10 investigate
for themselves and he convinced Of the
truth Of his remarks. The strike was
made, as is pretty fully ascertained, at
the mitigation OF a few discharged en-
ployes, who insist that other factories are
paying higher wages. II they would
investigate and see for themselves
they would soon sec their error. In spite
Of the general depression in business, the
La Belle is paying the same wages as
when times were good. Here lies the
greater injustice Of the boys in the fact
that the factory cannot possibly advance
the price. The Manager has employed
several new hands and will soon be able
10 get any number he chooses. A num-
Der OF the strikers are ready 10 return to
work, but are restrained by outside in
iluence from 80 doing. Those who have
been most instrumental in getting 1t up
and now maintain IL, cannot return at
any price, as the factory can very well get
along without them, and "a the law Of
Ohio Is very stringent in regard to insti.
gators Of riots, those men who are the
power behind the throne may yet find o
hot time in csse anything more serious
transpires. CHIP.
