Gle another, which was celebrated last

Schatrraneck, OF the Evangelical Luth-
eran Church.
4 large number Of the friends of the
young pair was present, and alter the
usual hearty congratulations, the guests
seated themselves at generous COLA
ton. Then the floor was cleared, and
for the remainder OF the evening every
one who could joined in the Intoxicating
waltz The bridal party took the IL
O'clock train for their future home in ~.

RECEIVING THE RETURNS.
The City Last Night.

To say Wheeling went wild, last night,
would be slightly overpaintiDg the SIT
uation, but il would be no exaggeration
TO say the city was highly enthused.
The streets became crowded, in the CEN
trail parts, soon after supper, and men
grew excited and talked and laughed
and dubbed over like glass Of cham.
payne. Everyone was in the best oil
spirits, and some OF the not best OF splr-
its were in some OF them. Occasionally
some bad blood was aroused, but for the
most part general good humOr pre-
vailed.
Council was q fiat failure and hollow
mOckery. Quorums were present but
business was transacted in a mechanical
way that showed the thoughts upper
most TO be of the election and what Bel
mont or Cuyahoga or Hamilton county
would do. An occasional envoy would
come in with news and for time COM
Inittee reports and pay rolls gave place
TO returns.
The newspaper offices presented busy
scenes. A wire had been run INTO the
REGISTER counting room, and as the
telegraphic instrument clicked away on
its mysterious business, an interesting
polyglot of conversation might have
been gathered. Every shade of political
complexion and every nationality EN-
braced i'm our citizenship were repre-
sented, and even few colored brothers
struggled in. Speculation ran rife and
| the widest rumOrs were INDUCED in.
The Democratic headquarters in Me
Lain's Hall and the Republican centre
at the Mcclure House attracted large au-
diences and the advent Of news favora-
bic 10 either party was received with
the widest applause. At the latter
! place, two individuals, one of each OF
the two great parties, engaged in dis
! cussiOn which came near giving the
REGISTER flaming headline sensa-
ton, but the Republican was res
cued from a thrashing by the
interference Of the crowd. The
police had very little 10 do and did IT
well. One or two arrests We're made,
but the occasion gave many privileges
in the way Of cheering and bowling.
At this writing, > 4. NJ, the excite
ment il over for the most part. The
streets are quoting down and most OF
| the crowd have dispersed. Occasionally
wild whOop reaches and thrills ON our
/ editorial ears, but the general appear
ance Is that Democrat and Republican,
| National and Prohibitions. have all
| sought their touches, and the great day
has passed into history.

IMPENDING STRIKES
In the Mills and Mines.

The heaters and helpers went 10 work
Yesterday morning, and during the day
the mills ran along very smoothly. II
is a trcacherOus calm, however, and may
be- rudely disturbed at any minute
Both heaters and helpers are Of the
opinion that they are not getting enough
pay for their labor, and this feeling will
soon find outward expression in prac-
teal form.
Ii seems, from what a heater told
us to-day, that the heaters were
little too previous in their
demand, here, and were not supported
by the Amalgamatcd Association. The
heaters have never worked by the "slid-
ing scale, and it Is understood Prcsi-
dent Bishop is now preparing one. \
movement will possibly take place in
Pittsburgh, today or tomorrow, and
the heaters here will Ice guided by that.
Ii was rumored, Yesterday, that the
heaters and helpers would no. 20 on to-
day, hut this is unlikely, as they feel.
severely the responsibility they incurred
upon themselves in their strike Of Mon
day.
The coal miners in the peddling
mines will probably 20 ont on a strike
to-day, demanding an advance OF Of a
cent per bushcl. Heretofore they have
been receiving I J cents and now want >
cents even. Drivers have already
struck for II cents per day increase
Mr.. Kimberly said last night that he
had been notified Of no demand, and he
inveighcd somewhat upon the press Of
the city for speaking Of it. As the i'm
partial chroniclers Of events, they could
scarcely do otherwise.

BELMONT COUNTY.
BELLAIRE.

The polls opened with considerable
enthusiasm, which increased during the
day, and at the close excitement was at
high pitch, both parties confidrnt and
defiant. The voting was of a strictly
partisan character, little or no scratch
ing was done, and the respective candi-
dates on each ticket polled almost the
same vote. As the day advanced the
enthusiasm waxed warmer, and by the
time for closing the polls had arrived,
the largest vote ever cast in Bellaire was
deposited in the box. Both parties
worked hard and vigorously, but the
effective work OF the Democracy, who
made handsome gain, had an unwhole-
some effect on the opposition towards
the close. The weather was as propi-
tous as could be desired, the enthusiasm
as great as could be expected, and the
general good feeling on the part of both
parties such as was surprising. No dis
turbance worthy of note occurred. and
altogether We can safely assert that a
quieter election never was held at this
place. With gain in the city,
the fact remains TO our credit, that even
il not victorious, perfect organization
and hard work has resulted at least in
some good.

TIIE GREAT REYENYT.
On Monday, October 10Th, our musi-
cal people are Ia be- gwen grand treat.
No less than Edonard Remcnyi, the eel
ebratcd viOlinlst, with Mrs. Emma
Thurston, the brilliant and charming
soprano, Mr. Edmund De Celle, the en-
inent tenor. and Mr. Julian Heinzc, the
great pianist OF the yiullniSt the
Toledo BiGis saws
Remenyi's bow is the wand Of a magi
elan. The audience sat patiently
through the rather proSy speechiyiny,
and listened with very mild interest
To the Welcoming Chorus, but with the
first chord of Remenyi's violin the real
interest in the S;engeriest began; the
curtain raised on the sum ptuouS feast Of
harmony spread out before our people.
Ii was the old, old story, of the violin in
hands of great master. No
other instrument can so instantly
bewitch and enthrall the nearer. In
breath all languid inattention had dis
appeared; no one thought OF turning to
whisper to his neighbOr; none cared
for anything except that not note OF
the wonderful melody should be lost;
the artist had the entire concourse under
his spell, and could move il to tears or
laughter at his will There Was almost
sense OF relief when he stopped-the
relief that comes when we escape from
the thraldoun Of the subtly sweet intoxi-
cant, 10 whose Influence our senses only
too willingly yield. II did not require
the thunders of applause, nor the clam.
Orous recall, TO tell him Of his triumph.
The quick concordance Of every auditor
with the mood of the player communi-
Gated this to his artistic senses long be-
fore he had finished his first theme.

THE RAILROAD WAR.
The Status at Present.

The public, generally, knows that the
controversy between the Baltimore and
Ohio and Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
Kentucky railroad companies has been
carried to court, but since that time,
little has been said OF it. 1t is known,
further, that the injunction cases are
pending before commissioner in Park
ersburg, and for the present, in statu
quo. The Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
Kentucky company has applied, before
the County Court for condemnation
of two pieces Of land belonging to the
Baltimore and Ohio Company for right
of way for their BenwOod extension.
These pieces are the ones upon which
the trcstlcwOrk has been thrown out,
and piece lying just south of the Nail
City Boat House.
Against the petition for condemnation
the Baltimore and Ohio filed several
pleas, all Of which, with the exception of
two, have been overruled by the Court.
These two exceptions are numbered /
and ,. The fourth plea is that the prop
rrty on which the trestlc is
built was in actual use by the
4. Il q. for railroad purposes
and was in such use at the time the
condemnation proceedings began The
court held that the legal effect Of such Il
plea, il true i'm point OF fact, would be Ia
prevent ,he T., W. Il X. from condemn
M that piece, as legislation now stands
To this pea the T., w. Il X. filed u
replication, claiming that the use to
which the Il. 4 o. had put this piece Of
land was done after they had noticed the
proceedings Of the T., W. 4 X; and that
the use was not made in good faith, but
was done for the purpose of pre-
venting condemnation 10y the T.,
w. II r.; aud further, that the
land was not necessary for the
proper conducting OF the Il. (
O.'s business. The court held this re-
plicHtion good.
In regard To the othcrpicce Of ground,
that near Iwcnty-third street, the l.. n
.. offered the same plea, viz: that it
was in actual use by the company. TO
this, the Z. W. 4 Ky. replied generally.
This ease came up, yesterday, morn
ing, and was finally set for trial on
Thursday, the I'D inst, before a special
Jury.

MARTINS FERRY.

The election at this place was exceed
mgly animated from the time the polls
opened To the close. The vote was the
largest ever cast-being 1918; and the
Republican gain over last year is lGG.
This gain is mainly represented 10y per
sons who have moved into this precinct
and become voters since the last cleo
on-although a portion Of it is made
up Of Republicans who have RETAINED
from voting recently on account Of dis
gust with the action Of the party on
SEINE Of the public measures. They
were brought out Of their holes again
Yesterday by persistent firing up. The
local Democratic leaders fought valiant
", but were showed under.

BRIDGEPORT.

The most exciting and best contested
election which was ever held in this vot-
ing precinct, came off to-day. The day
was fine; the voters Of Doth parties were
in good spirits and fighting trim, and all
the circumstances were favorable Ia a
large vote. The numbered votes cast at
this poll was GSS, being l0l greater than
last wear. The Democrats fought both
bravcly and effectively. The Republican
gain was not us large Us the leaders al
that party claimed and as We had been
lei To expect they would get. They
claimed a majority of POO and got lGl.
At this writing, Belmont county looks
safe for Ewing and Atkinson.
