BELLAIRE.
Fancy Fish-Delayed Dailies-
Deserved HOnOrs to the Late
MIR. MOrgan-General Ces-
satiOn of Business.

Council didn't materialize last night,
therefore no session OF our SOlons.
d. TheObald offers a boss lot on
Gravel Hill for sale at cheapness that
will take pocket books by storm.
Bob Eaton, Esq, of It. Clairsville,
was in town to-day. Bob was the lone
star on our ticket who was defeated. Ii
he hadn't owned property in Bellaire,
his opponents at St Clairsvflle wouldn't
have had anything to work on. They
made capital out of his interests here
in circulating the report that he favored
our city for the county. Bob is genial
gentleman with excellent qualifications,
and We are sorry he was not elected.
The United States Fish Commissioner
passed through Bellaire to-day with
eight jars of the scale gob-a similar
fish to our mountain trout. They were
intended for private pools in Pittsburgh.
A large number of our people took
look at them.
George II. Muth, Chief Cf the Fire
Department, orders general meeting OF

Hose Company No. |; Hone No. ,; Me-
chanics No. 3, and Good Will No, ), is
requested to meet promptly at the hour

Fire Department will be transacted.
The Wheeling daily papers did not
reach Bellaire yesterday, until 10 clock.
The funeral of +. q. Morgan, yester-
day, was one OF the largest ever witness
ed in Bellaire. 1t is estimated that there
were fully fifteen hundred people pre-.
sent, many coming from It. Clalrsville,
Bridgeport, Wheeling and the surround
ing country. Although he was high up
in Free Masonry, by request OF relatives
that order did not take his body III
charge, and the large assemblagc Of
that craft present was not dressed
in the lodge regalia. Rev. Rambo, of
the Episcopal Church, held services at
the house, assisted 10y Revs. Toland and
Castor. At the grave, Rev. Rambo
held brief services, then all that was
mortal of benefaCtOr and good citi-
zen of our city was committed to the
grave. The street cars were draped in
mourning, and number OF our business
places were closed.
Mayor Cassel, early in the day, issued
the following proclamation:
WHEREAS, Ii has pleased Divine Prov
idenCe to remove from us our fellow cit
izen, +. G.. Morgan, and petition hay-
ing been presented to me by large num-
Ter of the citizens Of Belaire, asking me
to request cessation of business, 80 far
as practical, during the time OF the fu-
neral services, now, therefore, !, Levi
Cassell, Mayor OF tie city of Bellaire, do
do hereby request all the citizens oi said
city 10 unite in showing respect for our
departed fellow-citizen, and that, as far
as possible, all place OF business be
closed iron the hour OF o'clock to >
o'clock p. VI. to-day.
LEVI CAssELL, Mayor.
The rush was so great that We could
not get near the coffin, but as il was
carried out We beheld encircling 1t one
OF the most beautiful floral wreaths we
ever saw. The services were solemn
and impressive, and feeling of sorrow
and regret was depicted upon the coun-
tenance OF every one present. The OBJ
sequies were imposing and highly ere
ditable to the fine character OF the de-
ceased. The attendance eulogizes the
virtues OF Mr.. Morgan more than pen
can portray.
