night.
Several OF our prominent Democratic
citizens are incensed at some slurs cast
at them by to-day's Tribune. Our Dem
ocratic friends should give no thought to
the slanders OF the opposition. All the
ISLANDERS and misrepresentation indulg-
ed in will not save the Republican par
tv in Belmont county. Democracy is a
dozen laps ahead and will come in on
the home-stretch with larger majority
in this county than has been recorded
for years.
Alex. and James McGregor, of this
place, have purchased the elegant resi-
dence of General COwen, at Grandview,
for the sum of $3.50.
Morris Davis and LOttie Steinbank,
and Mr.. Dixon Corbett and Annie
Belle Dunning have entered the list OF
Benedicts this week.
The Leqdsr tomorrow morning VIII
contain the following, bearing on the
robbery and murder of David Irlmbly,
reported i'm yesterdays REGISTER: Yes
terday Thursday a man named Decker
was i'm the city with Trimbly's load OF
produce, and with him was Mr.. William
Riley. a miller Of Beallsville. From
these gentlemen we learn that the peO-
pie in the vicinity OF the tragedy Sus-
pected two parties, one named King and
another named John Hess. The latter
has served about II years OF his life in
the pcuitentiary for horse stealing, and
was only rel, ased from the prison bars
last spring. Just after his arrival home
from the penitentiary, he was asked by
Mr.. Riley. the miller, what he intended
to DO. His reply was that he would
either be gentleman or 90 to the gal
lows" and that nc preferred the latter
10 the pentcntiary. Mr.. Riley also in
formed us that George Miller, the Bealls-
vile Marshall, and Amos Walters, con-
stable, intended to arrest John Hess on
suspicion on Wednesday night.
A supper and ball will be given at the
residence OF Mrs. Nancurran, in Ben
wood, this friday evening for the
benefit of an invalid, Mr.. kenan. The
object is Il worthy one, and tins beneht
should be well patronized.
Our Sabbath School friends in the first
ward are in considerable trepidation on
account of the rulings of the city School
Board, which depriveS them OF the use
of the public school building. Hereto
fore the VI. f.. Sunday School Mission,
numbering an average attendance OF so
members, used the school building and
were conducting an unusually interest
inc and successful school; and they look
upon the action OF the School Board in
refusing the public buildings for other
than educational uses in anything but a
complimentary light.
The much-talked OF boat race between
Hammond and Manley has not come
to a head yet, the friends OF Hammond
failing To come 10 time up TO this writ
inc. We hope the boys will soon ar
range matters so as to clock horns at
an early day. Go in, gentlemen, and
give us lively race.
We had practical illustration of
specie resumption here to-day. For
several DAYS past the Republicans were
freely circulating the report that any
one could get all the gold he wanted by
making the demand at the National
Bank here, and that Mr. Thurman will
fully misrepresented facts when he
stated the contrary. To-day Mr.. W. +.
LaRoache went to the First National
Bank and demanded gold for green
hacks TO the amount of 81 200. He was
very promptly informed that the specie
was not on hand, and that he would
have To wait until it could be shipped

bank officials il he could turn the green
backs into government bonds, and tso,
on what conditions could the bonds be
purchased, and how could he convert

man. on the authority of the Tribune,
went 10 the bank here, drew his check
for 500. and demanded gold in return.
He was informed that there were only
50 of cold in the bank, and therefore
they could not meet the demand. lie
asked what it would cost to convert the
paper into gold, and was told that 1t
would cost him at the rate OF one dollar
and iirsnfu-frs cents per- thousand dollars!
The Republicans have been loud and
orropant i'm their claims that any one
could get all the gold he wanted by
making the demand, and no little eX-
citpment has been OCcasiOncd by these
littIe incidents so startingly Illustrative
of the practical part OF specie resumption
in Bcllaire. II was stated that Mr..
Mathison here had plenty of gold, ana
the business man referred 10 Walted
