House Breaking.

BELLAIRE.
House Breaking.
Thursday night we had duo of rob-
beries-or at least an attempt at rob
berry. While Mr. Joseph Corbet, of the
First Ward, was attending church in
company with his daughter, house
breakers attempted to enter his residence,
but his wife, who was at home, raised
an alarm, and the would-be burglars
fled At the dry goods store of ?. I.
King, in the Third Ward, the night ma
rauders were more successful. With a
single-tree they broke one OF the large
plate windows of Mr.. Kings store, on
Belmont street, and grabbed two bolts
of fine cashmeres, and hearing the rapid
steps of our vigilant Nightwatchman
Mccormick, beat a hasty retreat. Mr..
Mccormick informs us that he heard the
crash of the window and fastened TO the
spot, and found the window broken as
stated. Had he not appeared on the
ground so promptly, Mr.. Kings loss
would undoubtedly have been much
greater. The window was broken at
about o'clock yesterday morning, and
five minutes had not elapsed ere Police
man Mccormick was on the ground. We
are not at liberty 10 state how strong a
clue the authorities have to the perpe-
traitors, but it is very probable that ar
rests will be made at an early day, and
the parties connected with the affair
promptly jugged.
MILL REPAIRS.
Extensive repairs and additions of
new machinery are going on at the
Globe Touring mills. These improve
ments have necessitated a suspension OF
business for a few days.
CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE.
The cigar manufacturers met their
employees in Joint convention last night.
They passed a resolution TO await a con-
ference OF the manufacturers here with
the manufacturers Of Wheeling before
any final price Of wages would be settled.
PAY DAY.
The c. Il p. pay car gladdened the
hearts and swclled the pocket books OF
the employees OF that road, yesterday.
The Nail Works paid of yesterday.
To-day the b. Il o. pay ear will glide
into our city and lay down the ducats
to its employees.
The Benwood mill will pay off to-day.

gerous position in the twinkling Of an
eye by Mr.. Theobald, without the
child sustaining any injuries.
4 LADY DELUGED IN MUD.
4 lady on Twenty-sixth street, last
night, fell down and sustained slight
bruises. There were no lamps lighted on
this street, which fact ocCasioned the ac-
cident. She was in full dress, and aside
from the injuries she sustained, her
clothing was entirely y ruined. This is but
a iOrcrunner OF the results that follow the
squelching of our street lights. Bellaire
has too many stepping Off places to
think OF shrouding our city in darkness.
We'll either have to pare down some OF
our steps and raised places, or else keep
up our lights. Darkness lends inspira-
ton and daring to robbers as well as
danger 10 the pedestrians. We wish TO
find no fault with our Council. We be-
lieve it is doing the best it can, and with
=
believe it is one OF the most economical
we have had for years. But really, we
think our street lights should be sus-
tained at all hazards, even il we have to
substitute oil lamps.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Mr.. Tomlinson, Mayor of Atchison,
KS, and brother-in-law OF Robert Eaton,
County Prosecutor, was stopping at the
Globe Yesterday.
Gaumer, editor OF the St. Clairsville
Gd:die, was in town yesterday.
THE STORM.
We had regular tornado at three
o'clock Yesterday afternoon. Shingles
boards and stove pipes fairly darkened
the air i'm some sections of our city. We
could learn OF no serious damage how
ever. All outdoor work was suspended
during the high wind and heavy rain.
