BELLAIRE.

The shooting of John Mallory, by a
man named Baldwin, at Darlington, o.,
on Saturday night, was the cause OF no
little excitement upon the streets OF
that quiet little town. The facts III the
case. as near as we could learn, are as
follows: About n year ago the parties
had some trouble, for which they were
indicted by the Grand Jury, for assault
ing each other, and were fined. On
Saturday they were drinking freely,
and meeting on the street, they had
some words. when Baldwin shot NAL
lorv, the ball striking just above the
right eye and glancing upward, lniiict-
ing very painful but not dangerous
wound.

front is torn out and the roof Is oil. Inc
timbers of the roof are heavy enough TO

put up houses to last. When 1t Is re-
modelled and has a handsome new front
it will be quitean ornament to the town.

JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE.
Arrangements for the Celebra'
tion Tomorrow.

The great dav, and it will be a great
day for Wheeling, comes tomorrow and
we NAV expect to see the largest crowd
ever in the city. The Sham Battle Com
mittee held a meeting last night and per,
fected the arrangements as lar as could
be done at present. The programme OF
the battle will be drawn up to-day, and
will probably be printed and for sale to-
morrow.
The celebration will be opened by the
Pinafore performance tonight, and
from present indications a large audi
ence will be in attendance at Washing
ton Hall. No pains have been spared
to make it better than ever and that II
will be SO there is no doubt. .
On tomorrow morning, the graves OF
the soldiers buried in this vicinity, will
be decorated, the flowers being
first prepared this :. afternoon;
A squad OF twelve men will be detailed
from each company in this city, the
whole to be under the command OF Cap
tain J. L. Dickey, to decorate the graves.
The details will meet at the Amory at
$50 and proceed to the flower room
under the Opera House, and thence to
Mt. Wood Cemetery, accompanied by
Vaas' Band. From there they will go
10 Greenwood and other cemeteries by
carriages. A gun from Wheeling Hill
win give the signal for the decoration 10
begin. If any persons having soldiers
graves i'm charge have not notified Col.
Sterling they had better do so at once.
The visiting military will all be here
bv noon and will be fed upon their ar
rival, forming at the armory immediate
w afterward. The procession will start
down Market and 20 to Twentieth, down
Twentieth to Main, up Main to the
bridge and 10 the fair grounds.
The prize drill will be the first thing
on the fair grounds. The competition
is open to all, and sufficient companies
will enter 10 make it close and interest
ING. The Grub cup arrived yesterday
and isa mastery piece OF workmanship.
1t stands about a foot high and Is OF

port each side, an engraving OF n tie
man adorns the face, and the back is

10 be filled in with the name OF the vie
torious company. The cup is OF solid
silver.
The battle comes next and will be
participated in bv about eighteen com
panies including the battery-the Put
nam Artillery OF Marietta. The Salem
Rifles will also be here to swell the
number, and with this large body OF
soldiers an imposing spectacle may be
expected. A regular plan OF battle will
be drawn, including skirmishers, am
bushes, captures, retreats and a final
victory for one side.
Returning laurcl-laden from the field
of battle, several ways OF spending the
evening are open to the soldier. The
Pinafore performance at the Opera
House will undoubtedly capture many.
The military ball at the armory, which
is free to the visiting soldiers, will also be
well patronized. The cane contest will
be there decided and handsome silver
castor will be awarded to the best lady

The agitation among the mill en-
plovees and in mill circles is on the in
crease, and an agreement and satiStac-
tory arrangements must soon be made
or trouble seems imminent. Very little
is said among the men on tine subject,
and very little is necessary, as they I'M
derstand each other ana the general
feeling perfectly, and nothing is heard
but the mutteringS which announce the
tempeSt's approach. Among the men
the question is: will they do ito" and
among the owners: "Will they striker
At present the answer TO both questions
appears to be-yeS.
The conference 20 be held next Satur-
day will be Of the greatest importance.
The manufacturers will meet commit
tees Of the men to consider the PROPOSE
ton 10 terminate the sliding scale of
prices now in use. Should the former
decide 20 do away with it a bitter strike
seems inevitable.
The argument used by the men Is the
same as quoted during the talk incident
to the meeting in Pittsburgh on April
10th. They do not and cannot see the
necessity Of a reduction, and will not
submit to it.

Correspondence Of the Register.
Having read the different cards relat-
ing To the issue between some OF our
German citizens and the evening paper,
nothing strikes me more than the
awkwardneSs Of its editor in endeavor-
iug To crawl ont Of the whole affair by
irving To turn it into ridicule, as be had
received q card although clothed in
iorcible and strong language demand
ing an explanation. He ought TO have
published the same and made direct
apology To the Germans, but instead OF
So doing he made sneer at the REGIS
TER as though that paper had manu-
featured the first card. The whole
thing could have been averted il the
editor Of the evening paper had taken
the proper course to vindicate himself.

pho McLnrc House Difficulty.

Yesterday morning, one Of those dis
turbanccS, which will sometimes hap
pen and are always to be regretted, oc-
CURED at the New Mcclure House, IN
which Richard RaynOr, head-walter, and
David Williams, a cOlored waiter played
leading parts. Williams was placed on
watch in the Office about one O'Clock IL
the morning, with strict orders to al
low none of the servants 90 pass up
stairs without written orders from the
proprietors or clerks. Raynor, who has
been giving some trouble lately, came
i'm about 2:l5, accompanied by a man
named Sweeney, the third cook. Will
liams refused to allow them to go up, at
the same time placing his hand signiti-
cantly upon his hip pocket. After some
parlev. RaynOr suddenly threw himself
upon Williams and bore him TO the
ground The latter had held a revolver
cooked in his pocket, and drawing 1t as
he fell it was discharged in the struggle.
Sweeney then came up and twisted 1t
from his hand, whereupon Raynor re-
leased him.
Williams then went behind the desk
and reappeared with large revolver,
advancing upon Raynor, holding it,,
cooked, in both hands. 4 gentleman
who had Just come in induced him to
put it up, and Raynor and Sweeney
went out, taking with them the small
revolver Williams had fired.
By this time, Messrs. Norton and
Corbly appeared upon the scene and
quiet was restored. Several OF the
guests had been aroused by the noise,
but at once retired. This morning, Ray
nor and Sweeney were promptly dis
charged and ordered to leave the city
under penalty OF being arrested If they
remained. Mr.. Corbly says Raynor is
an old Jail bird and was just discharged
from the Western Pcnitentiary at Allie
ghcny, where he served a sentence for
forgery. He has, up TO the past few
days, been very polite and attentive
emplovc, but took to drinking, by which
his better qualities were perverted.
Williams deserves credit for the
pluckv and determined manner in which
he cndeavored TO obey orders at risk
TO his personal safety. The proprietors
deeply regret the circumstance, for
which. however, they are not to blame;
and it is one liable to occur at any time.

The Bellaire Soldiers.

The Bellaire troops will not come up
TO take part in our sham battle, and the
cause is that they have no friendly feel
iugs toward our boys. When they came
last time, they were assured, so they
claim, that when they had anything
going on, that our soldiers would come
over into Macedonia and help them. "
And they believed it, But when the
battle came off at GAINESVILLE, their eyes
were opened to the truth. There was a
battle to be held at FairmOnt and our
soldiers must 90 out their and help their
own State, leaving GAINESVILLE in the
lurch. Bellaire feels sore over this, and
it is probably for this reason that they
will not come here.

watering.places and mountain hotels
will be open and the hegira commence,
