BELLlARE.

For the past week there has been
sort of political boom in Bellaire. Eithe
in City Hall or on the Public Square
there have been meetings nearly ever,
day or night, but Saturday capped tn,
climax of political enthusiasm, that is i
wind is the chief embodiment of enthu
siaSm. In the forenoon early came 4:
drum corps, parading around with al
the din and tumult of war, which NJ
doubt reminded many Democrats here
of when they were fighting in the South
ern army, and others of when they were
opposing drafts and doing all they coult
to prevent volunteering; but still, by
the drum corpS,t two brass bands, learn
ed pig, an educated goose, and Judge
Thurman, they mustered 500 or 1OOC
people on the Square, about P. NJ.
winding up at 4 o'clock, and We thought
as the auditors passed our standing
place, very much to their satisfaction
always excepting Geo. Muth and Dan
TheObald, who in the positions of supes
for their party are always supremely
happy.
Last Saturday Mrs. Dunlap suddenly
departed this life. Mrs. Dunlap was in
her usual health, and at the time of her
death was engaged in conversation
with some friends, when she dropped
from her chair and expired without a
struggle.
Business was never brisker in Bellaire
than just now, and it is impossible fol
manufacturing establishments to keep
up with their orders. Yesterday, in
conversation with a leading New York
salesman, he said he could not get goods
to supply his trade, either here OF in
Pittsburgh. Just think for moment of
one firm sending out 1900 lanterns in
one week, with a single order for 15OC
dozen during that time.
As an evidence of the improvement in
trade, 1900 cars passed over the bridge
last week
a gentleman intimately connected
with the banking business, and blythe
by hot Democrat, too, told us he knew
of a bank which drew S25OO in gold, and
was three weeks in getting rid of it, a
majority of those to whom it paid hand
ing it back, with request for green
backs. Oh how we are Shermanized!
A slight fire occurred at Amos Shep-
hard's hOnse Saturday night. No dam
age of consequence.
Three men were killed on the other
side of the river last week-two on the
cars and one in the BenwOOd rolling
mill, by being caught in the betting or
pulleys in the cellar, and was literally
torn to pieces.
This morning most terrible accident
occurred at the stock yards, resulting in
the death of young man named Tai
lett. In crossing from the cars to the
tender he fell, and the cars passed over
his head and feet, he probably doubling
up in the fall. About three-fourths of
his skull was entirely severed from the
head, and the brains eXuded from the
cavity. His feet were most terribly
mangled, in fact bearing scarcely the
semblance of foot.
1t is the intention of the Republicans
of Bellaire to make the Blaine meeting
the meeting of the campaign, for this
part of Ohio, and so no expense has bee1i
spared, no work left undone, to make it
the grandest success of the season.
Excursion trains will be arranged for
on all the roads entering here. Kramer's
Band is engaged, and we have heard of
quite number of others to be in attend
ance. We can only say, after having
heard Mr.. Blaine. no man can listen to
him without saying, "it was well for me
to be there"
