The Voorhees, Meeting-BOund
to" "Scoop Things'-Bad Broth
ers-A Prominent Citizen As
saulted.

Wm. Osmond and Edward Magnar,
OF Philadelphia, were up before the
Mayor, Yesterday morning, as plain
drunks. In default of =, they were
sent to the chaingang for eight days.
Joseph $. Forman, OF Noble county,
passed through the city to-day, en- route
for Monroe county, where he Will en-
thuse the Democracy. He says he never
saw such enthusiastic meetings as the
Democrats hold at every appointment.
The Republicans can't "hold 4 candle
TO the Democratic turn-outs. The Re-
publicans are alarmed at the
preparations for the reception
of Voorhees, on Wednesday, and they
announce the following speakers for the
same evening: Gen. j. K. Hawley, OF
Connecticut; Col. A. Miller, of James
vile; and Hon. l.. DanfOrd, of IT. Clairs-
vile. II they expect anything more
than a Democratic boom from this ar
rangement they will come up missing.
With the free transportation from
Wheeling, the excursions from all points
on the railroads, the country delega-
tons from every surrounding district,
and the mammoth preparations
on the part of the Democrats OF
Belaire, We hope To scoop
things" on Wednesday, and we'll do it,
notM outstanding the efforts OF the Re
publicans to claim the honors OF the
day.
As we write, sycamore trees, pine and
evergreens of every conceivable kind,
are passing the office, and n state OF
general enthusiasm pcrvades every ele-
ment. Ii you Wheelingites want to "Sce
a time" come TO Bcllaire on Wedncs-
day.

Reports were out at noon Yesterday
10 the effect that George Muth, Chief of
the fire department, and one OF our
prominent business men, was shot. In
Quiry showed that the reports were
wildly exaggerated. 1t appears that Mr..
Muth purchased some Chcstnuts from a
huckster by the name OF ketty, and
when the chcstnuts were measured on
the wharf-boat, they were considerably
short. Muth offered to take the chest
nuts at what they measured, but the
huCkster demurred. An alteration en-
sued and the man struck Muth. The
brother Of ketty, who is engineer on the
Ed. Pope, rushed to his brothers assist
ance, and without the least provocatiOn
and unexpected to Mr.. Muth, struck
him (Muth) with broken hoe, intiiCt-
ing an ugly wound on the temple. The
brothers at once boarded a skiH and lit
out down the river. Officer Archer
ovcrhauled them at the Narrows. three
miles below town. They (the ketty's)
gave bail to appear before Mayor Cas-
sell on WesnesdaY, at 9 o'clock A. Ne,
and were released.
