Religious circles had feast to-day.
At the NJ. Z. Church, DR.. Wheeler,
brother OF President Wheeler, and
editor of the Pittsburgh Christian -idro-
cate, preached able sermons to large con-
gregations. At the Presbyterian Church
Rev. Moore, OF Pittsburgh, occupied the
pulpit, charming all with his logic and
eloquence. He is an able divine, and
will always receive hearty welcome in
Bellaire.
A large number OF our people took ad-
vantage Of the glorious weather TO 60
out on the excursion over the South
western road. Ii the fine weather con-
tinues many of our people will regret
that this was the last excursion OF the
season offered by our narrow gauge road.
Night school will commence this
evening. This will prove boon to
many who care to inform themselves
and who are kept too busy in the day
time to study, and it should be well
patronized. 1t is important that all
should be on hand this evening, as
much depends on all starting together.
We wish the night school eminent suc-
cess.
1t will probably be determined to-
morrow night, at Council, whether our
Fire Department is to be preserved or
not.
The fine weather yesterday proved a
a "bOnanza" to living men. hundreds
of people took the weather by the fore
lock-" and hied away to rura lhaunts.
Pete Neal, OF Martins Ferry, and Jim
McManee, of Bellaire, ran a foot race ut
West Wheeling, Saturday evening.
The distance was one hundred years, and
the purse $50. Therace was decided a
draw by the referee, and it will proba
bly, be tried again this evening.
We dropped in at Sellars' picture gal
lery yesterday, and saw one OF the finest
displays of artistic pictures We ever
beheld. He had just finished life-size
photograph of Mrs. Henry Crimmell,
which is one of the best, most life-like
representations that skill can produce.
Through his patent enlarging process
every rough lineament is toned down to
a shade of delicacy and perfectness that
is truly astonishing Oil paintings are
no place when contrusted with the new
patent enlargement as applied by Sellars.
The social club, OF which we made
mention as organizing some days since,
has come TO full head and have elected
the following officers: President, Geo.
r. Grafton; Vice Presidents, John Kelly,
Phil Dyer, Dell Jackson and George
Richardson; Secretary and Treasurer.
Jas. C.. Tallman. The President and
SecretaryGr ob'cio compose the Execu-
tue Committee. The club is limited
TO twenty members and its regular
business meetings will be held on Tues
day evening. They will hold a social
Friday, and fortunate is he who receives
q "pastebOard.'
We are glad TO state, authoritatively,
that the Hecla Club will soon put play
on the boards for the enjoyment OF our
people. Come at us, we Ilcclaeans, with
your best. We know well get rich
treat, and we don't want the pleasure of
it being deferred.
The veracious Tribune should award
honor where it is due. The REGISTER
never said that twenty kegs of beer
went over the Southwestern road TO
supply the Sunday excursion demands.
1t doesn't remember OF ever referring TO
such a shipment.
If the Journal hadn't been enterpris-
ing and exploded it, we'd had a first
class sensation for this mornings REGIS
TER. We had everything primed for
the occasion, but rs there was no Satur-
day evening or Sunday REGISTER, 1T
went "aglee." The sensation in ques-
ton was that of two Lotharios OF Bridge
port, who drove to our city under the
''shadowing wings OF night" with two
dam-sels of Steubenville, and registered
at the Belmont Hotel. There is nothing
remarkable in this. Neither is there
anything out of the usual order Of things
in the fact that the hotel register showed
in bold legible letters the following en-
try: "Jamcs Harrison and
lady, Pittsburgh John Elliott
and lady, Pittsburgh" Nobody re-
marked anything strange about these
proceedings, but at II o'clock, when an
irate lady and two policemen wendell
their way to the chambers occupied by
the strangers, then there did appear
something singular in the proceedings,
and when the young men Of Bridgeport
were hauled from their separate coy
repose and ierked in a jiify to the "bas-
tile" then there was time for reflection
OF an exciting nature. 1t seems that
the mother Of the girls learned OF the
irregular proceedings of their daughters
and one plucky mater tdmii,ds followed
her erring child here, learned of their re-
sort, invoked the aid Of police, had the
men arrested and took the girls home.
It's sad case at best, and we only TO
dwell upon il long enough TO say that
the girls are of good parcntage, and
many think their folly should have met
with the same punishment as that meted
to their escorts. The men were before
the Mayor, Saturday money, and fined
g and costs. Let this be warming to
the "gided' that Bcllaire is not
healthy autumn resort.
Charles Hursey, who was recently
injured in one OF his eyes, took a trip to
valley of the Allegheny river, TO visit
relatives. He will be absent week or
two.
Mrs. Joseph Grafton is back from the
East.
The Pultney Township Board OF Trus-
tees had their regular meeting here
Saturday, and transacted their usual
monthly business.
Several socials were held Saturday
night-one OF them rag cutting"
