Newt. Duvall set up boss supper to
the train men at Ozark, last night, in
honor OF the completion of the Bellaire
and Southwestern road to that point.
Ozark must be lively commercial point,
! Judging from the three carloads OF hogs
and one of grain, besides number OF
passengers, that it sent in yesterday,
| This road is proving bonanza to Bel
laire, as every day a number OF substan-
tial citizens along its route come in and
make extensive purchases Of our mer-
chants and manufacturers.
Our glass factories are daily shipping
immense consignments OF their pro-
! ducts.
J. b. Smith, Esq, will 90 TO Salem,
O., to-day, to try an important law suit.
81. Massingham, editor OF the Cleve-
land Leader, was stopping at the GIoDe,
| yesterday.
Frank Hawkins, son OF Robert Haw-
kins, of the First ward, was thrown
from horse at o'clock last evening,
breaking his nose and sustaining other
ugly bruises about the face. Dr. Nc
CluTe attended him.

The concert given in City Hall Thurs
nav night was a success, as far as num-
bcrs and good music were concerned,
though We question if our Wheeling
singers were not disappointed in the ar
rangements OF the stage, the poor lights,
and other inconvenience that were
strikingly noticeable to the audience.
The singing and instrumental perform
anccs are reported as being exception
allv fine. On another visit, We hope
the performers will find a stage and
audience room in keeping with their
high musical accomplishments.
Col. Baron and lady are back To our
city again. The Colonel was in New
York city on the night Of the election,
and he says things were red hot IN
political circles. The TACT that Colonel
Baron has for many years been 4 fast
friend of Mr.. Foster, and that
he worked early and late Tor
the new Governor, has given rise
To the public report that he was
after some OF the "tlesh pots OF ONO.
This is an injustice to the gentleman,
for those conversant with the Colonels
interests here know that his present
position commands more luCre than any
office in the gift OF Governor Foster.
His position us Superintendent OF the
lantern factory, and the royalty he re-
ceiyes on the Buckeye lantern, make
his income one to he desired, from a
prcuniary sense, even by the Governor
| OF the State.
Mr.. Klotz. OF the firm OF Mayor X
Klotz. is back from the East.
We had a pleasant chat with Mr.. 1.
II. Strahl, Superintendent and Secreta-
nv Of the Gas Works, yesterday. lie
informs us that the Gas Company,
which has met with many reverses and
difficulties, is firmly on its feet now, and
expects TO give a better quality OF that
product than heretofore. The reason oi
the sulphur that has been noticeable IN
the Gas for the last week is that the
scaritv OF coal madeit necessary to bring
coal from abroad. which contained prop
critics that they were not familiar with,
being somewhat different from that
article formerly used. In day or
two this objection will disappear.
The gas going out Wednesday
night was caused by scarcity of gas,
occasioned bv the workmen taking out
too many of the retorts, which are
cleaned monthly. No one is more sorry
than the gas men that the oversight oc-
Cured. and care will be taken that there
is not a repetition. We hope our people
will bear patiently the ills that are now
happily passed. a.,
The Firemen had a meeting last night,
