Glencoe and Jacobsburg are coming IN

The bows throughout the county are

in solid plattoons from every quarter.
Last night Mr.. Foster spoke to about
500 people on the Public Square. He
spoke twenty-five minutes. 1t was not
known until the afternoon that Foster
was to be here. The brevity Of his
speech was necessary on account OF
previous arrangement to speak at Bridge
port the same evening. Foster seemed
almost worn out, and he made no effort
to touch the leading points in the can
vass. His effort was a failure, and It is
acknowledged by Republicans generally
that his speech here did that party no
good, and possibly harm. Notwith-
standing his apparent fatigue, Foster
got off some good jokes in his speech,
and gave evidence that he was rather oil
the humorous type.
In the heat Of the political battle 1t is
not unlikely that the lesser offices to be
filled are not receiving the proper at
tention at the hands of the voters. For
instance, the Office of Land Appraiser IS
one of the most important IN the
county, and yet We never hear even an
allusion to it. The Appraiser fixes the
value of property, and his decision
settles the appraisement OF lands and
property for the term of ten years.
Thus it will be seen that the office is
one of very great responsibility and I'M
portance. Mr.. Jas. b. Darrah, prac-
teal mechanic and man Of fine person
al qualities and sound judgment, is the
Democratic candidate. The enthusiasm
felt for the heads OF the State ticket and
the Legislature should not prevent the
people from keeping an eye on local
offices.
A young son of J. w. Yost, OF Gravel
Hill, died from Group yesterday. The
interment will take place to-day in the
city Cemetery.
James Travis, of the G. p. Brown Boat
Club, was in the city Yesterday.
The engineers on the &. o. Division OF
the Il. Il o. railroad yesterday took a
straw vote on the candidates for Gov
ernor, with the following Ewing boom:
Ewing, 81; Foster, II; Greenback, s. II
Ewing's election depends upon the
brawny and intelligent engineer his
election is assured by large majority.
Bully for the boys who handle the en-
gines.
THE HECLA SOCIAL,
In accordance with an invitation is
sued by the Hecla Club, we found our
selves vending our way YEARLY up the
stairs which lead to the Hecla Club
rooms, on Saturday evening, expecting,
after entering the rooms to remain but
long enough to get an item of the affair,
to see who were there, what they were
doing, &c, &c, but after casting our
ewes about the room, and noting the
many happy and cheerful faces OF the
creme de Ia creme OF Bellaire society, we
knew that our expectations were not go
ING to be realized, and that if we re-
manned we would pass one OF the
pleasantest evenings of our lives. 80 we
smOothed down our hair, buttOned up
our coat and let our other engage
mentS suffer. Taking into consideration
the fact that the social was but an inn
promptu affair, and thought of for the
first time on the evening previous, we
do not hesitate TO say that II was in
every sense of the word a success, and
we commend the management IN the
highest terms for furnishing means,
whereby the society OF this city, which
has lain dormant for so long a time
could have a stand point for a reorganl-
cation. The Hecla club rooms are a
very pleasant place to while away an
evening, and the Hecla club boys are
genial. wholesouled gentlemen who do
everything in their power TO make their
guests enjoy their socials themselves
The fact was made patent on Satur-
day evening on entering their
rooms, which on this occasion pres
ented very pleasing appearance, deco
rated as they were by numerous
fine pictures, several of which were from
the old masters. The west end of the
room is used for the display of scenery,
of which the club has fine collection,
all from the brush OF our young artist,
Grafton, and which adds greatly to the
appearance of the room. Situated in
this part OF the hall, and within Roman
arch, backed 10y water scene from the
Lake of Thun, was FOwler's superb
orchestra, which on this occasion fairly
surpassed itself, and infused such lie
and vigor into those present that they
could not be blamed il the spirit got
down in their pedestals causing the
eight fantastic" to he tapped at odd
times. At few minutes before y
o'clock, when regretful good nights
were being said and EXPLANATIONS
heard such as go, what a pleasant even
ing we have passed." &c. The music
hushed and the parties present dis
perSed for their several homes, all
tired but extremely happy, and without
a single exception wishing for a repe-
tition of the evenings enjoyment at an
early day.
George Dunaway, of this city, and
Miss Mary Super, OF Waynesburg, Pa,
were married recently at the brides
residence in Waynesburg.
We were premature in announcing
that the city would pay the costs in the
State case if Stahl would not appeal it.
Several Councilman inform US that the
city has not agreed to such terms, and
that it has no intention of paying the
costs, which amount to more than $40.
Misses Mamie and Stella Lewis, OF
st. Clairsville, are visiting Miss Jennie
Kelley.
This extremely warm weather makes
the life OF the mill men not only labori-
