Mrs. Caroline Amber, Of Wegee, died
very suddenly from heart disease last
Saturday. Mrs. Amber was y years
old, and was an aunt TO Mrs. George h.
Muth, of this city.
Mrs. NJ. Gordon, wife Of the G. & 2.
operator, fell down in swoon, from
nervous prostration, last night. For a
time the lady was thought to be dead,
but under the treatment OF DIR. Muhle-
man she is rapidly recovering.
A new and substantial platform is be-
ing erected in the rear of the G. & 2. de-
pot. This looks as though the powers
that be rather prefer to fix up the old de-
pot than build new one. Therefore we
smother our congratulations.
A child Of VIM. Tate, OF Gravel Hill,
was almost fatally burned yesterday by
upsetting boiling cup OF coffee on its
breast and stomach. The child Is suffer-
ing intensely, though 1t Is hoped the
scald will not prove fatal.
The Indian clubs and fine set OF glass
ware, offered to the best club swinger
and the lady holding the lucky number
at Capt. Lilly's ball, which is to come oil
Friday night at Turner Hall, are on ex-
hibition at Mr.. MathisOn's store,
corner of Belmont and Thirty
third streets. Both prizes cap
tivate the eye Of all who behold them,
and if your Wheeling club-swingers
want to, see or take part in the contest,
they should be on hand promptly on
Friday night. A meeting OF the COM
mittee of arrangements and floor mana
gers will be held at the billiard parlOrs
Of John J. McDermOtt tonight, at which
it is hoped full representation will be
present to confer about matters pertain
ing TO the ball.
We regret to say that Marion Hotf-
man, one of our "stand-bys" in the
First ward. is down with ayoung noun
tain under each year. To make it
palmer, he's got the humps, and a
pretty bad case of 'em, too.
Some fine lots OF hay were sold here
Yesterday for $l6 per ton.
Complaints reg going toward the Coun-
Gil, if not to heaven, because no lamp is
lighted on the corner of Cherry alley
and Twenty street, in the Second
ward. The corner is as dark, yea,
darker" than Erebus, and pedestrians
are really in danger of barking shins, If
nothing more serious. The lamp on
this corner is caved in from six sides,
and the famous Leaning Tower is not to
be compared with the lamp post IN point
of angle. We think it just cause for
grievance, and our city Solons should
investigate the matter.
Michael Hoffman, of Woodstield, has
been appointed Secretary of the b. x
S. w. K. R., vice Mr.. A. w. Anderson,
and the office will probably he removed
to that town the latter part of this week.
Mr.. Anderson has been an excellent
officer, and we hope his successor will
give as general satisfaction as the re-
firing secretary has given in his rela-
tons to the company and the public.
The Globe Touring mill has greater
demand for its products than it can
supply. They can't get enough OF wheat
TO supply the demand for -four. Ii our
farmers have any surplus grain they
ought to bring it in.
The City FIGURING Mills are just lit
tie "oh'' now, owing to an accident to
some of its machinery. In consequence,
Mr.. Ault, if he was not a good Chris
tan, would be swearing roundly. These
works have plenty OF grain and plenty
of orders, and ere this sees the light oi
publicity the mill will probably be grind
ing away at rapid rate.
The body OF Mr.. George Styles, an
account of whose suicide filled col
umn of the REGISTER yesterday morn
ing, was taken to Delaware, Ohio,
last night, whittier the parents Of the
unfortunate man, as well as the parents
and relations of the wife, reside, for in
torment. Mrs. Styles effects are being
disposed of, and as soon as her business
matters can be arranged she will leave
our city to make her home with her re-
lations in Delaware. A singular part OF
the matter is, that telegram was sent
TO the brother in Missouri, to whom
reference was made in the testimony ad.
duced at the inquest and published in
the REGISTER, and no reply has vet been
had from him. This gives rise to the
theory that he had importuned his
brother for assistance, and that he lent
a deaf ear to the communications OF the
deceased.
A son Of DIR. 'Kurz is just recovering
from a severe attack of scarlet fever and
diptheria. We regret to say that his
estimable lady is now down with dip
liberia, and we hope she may speedily
recover.
The Glass Blowers Social will hold a
grand ball in Zilch's Hail Christmas eve
Fowler's music.
Mr.. /. 7. Freese has added three new
sleighs to his livery stock. A good snow
now, and we can have jolly excursion,
A horse ran off on Gravel Hill yester.
day. 1t was hitched to a buggy, and broke
one of the shafts and came tearing down
street ut lively rate, almost running
over some children at the South ward
school.
The ladies in charge of the fair to be
held in the city hall during the holt
days for the benefit of the Catholic
school house, have secured the dOna,
ton of over three hundred bushels of
coal, which they propose TO distribute
10 the poor in the following manner:
In few days they will sond out solicit
tors, and which ever denomination con-
tributes the largest amount of money
will have the pleasure OF distributing
the coal to the poor OF the city without
distinction Of religion. The ladies trust
that the good people of Bellaire will aid
them in this charitable work.
ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM.-Geo.
II. Muth is not lost, as his opponents
have said. He is still ahead, and defies
competition. He will give $500 reward
to the party in Bellaire who sells more
oysters than he does, wholesale or re-
tail. The oysters he handles cannot be
bought by any firm in Bellaire, and they
are daisies. Let no one deceive you,
but come and see for yourselves. He
has the sole agency for the following
brands: Story d Burnnel's Saddle
rock brand, ii. q. McGrath's Select
Standard, W. S. Miles & Co.'S Chesa-
peake, and Stuart 4 Barns Mediums.
They are to be seen at his place of busi-
ness. He also keeps full stock OF
meats and provisions OF all kinds. Give
him a call and see for yourselves.
Jake burst has big rush for his big
oysters-largest ever in Bellaire.'
