BELLAIRE.

4 large number of st. Clairsville peo-
pie were in the city yesterday, among
whom was noticed Master Commissioner
Charlesworth, Sheriff Hilles and Conrad
Troll.
Mr.. Neville, an employe of the Bel
laire Manufacturing Company, got his
foot entangled in the cylinder of a
threshing machine on Monday alter
noon, while fitting it mp. No bones
were broken, but the injured member
refused to do service yesterday.
In consequence of the warm weather
of the past few days, large number of
our citizens are making arrangements to
pass the heated term at Burr's Mills.
This is very sensible idea and one,
which ii acted upon, will give more
satisfaction when the thermometer is up
to 100 in the shade than any we know
of. Burr's Mills is nearly 500 feet higher
than Bellaire and in consequence cool,
refreshing breeze il constantly stirring.
The very bestof boarding can be obtain
ed at the Pangle House at an extremely
low rate, and parties can leave Bellaire
i'm the evening and return in the morn
ing before business hours. Our advice
to persons in quest OF a nice cool place
to pass the summer, to 90 by all means
to Burr's mills. \ number of families
have already gone out and we hear OF
several more who intend going.
Sheriff Hilles sold at public auction
Yesterday afternoon a lot of household
goods belonging to II. Butte. The prices
realized were generally good.
4 painter created considerable amuse-
ment Yesterday afternoon, while grain
ing the front of Cummins & Walter 5
store. He had secret process OF grain
Ing and desired to keep the world ig-
norant OF said process, and in order 10
do that he covered himself with several
yards of muslin while he worked. The
etFectcan he imagined better than told.
The Bellaire Manufacturing Company
are making two turntables for the Bel
laire and Southwestern railroad, one 10
be used at Bellaire and the other at the
western terminus OF the road.
4. Richardson is showing himself TO
be an enterprising citizen by putting a
new pavement in front OF his property
on Thirty-second street.
A general melee last night is reported
in the Eighth ward. Particulars to-
morrow.

"our Boarding House. ("

Leonard Growers famous comedy,
"Our Boarding House. will hold the
stage at the Opera House on next Satur,
day, and our theatregOers will have a
most entertaining treat. The st. Louis
Times, speaking of the play (where it
was produced last week says: Mr..
Leonard Growers very successful come
dy. which was so well received here last
season, was greeted with at least equal
appreciation at the Olympic Treatre last
night. The house was well filled, and
the demonstrations Of applause and
laughter were abundant. The comedy
well deserves the success it has
met with, as il is q genuine Ameri-
can comedy, filled with characters
that grow only on our side, and
with scenes that could not occur else
where. One or more of the types de.
scribed i'm "Our Boarding House may
be invisible in all large cities, and it is
easy enough to pick up in various parts
OF the country an EleratOr, a SOUter, a
GUypOd, or an Eligible, but the mass
could hardly be agglOmerated outside
of the great city of extensive enter
prises. "Our Boarding House must
be ranked as a first-clasS comedy, Tor It's
life is i'm its character-pOrtralts. As the
comedy is brought to us this year, 1t Is
calculated TO win even q fuller success
than il had last season, as the company
which has been formed To play 1t IS IN
some respects stronger, and rs whole,
more harmonious.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
Report of Gas Trustees.

The Gas Trustees last night commu-
nicated to Council the following, which
did not come up:
The communication of Arthur Brown,
Superintendent of the Gas Works, dated
April s, 1879, relative to the reappoint-
ment OF VIM. A. Greaves to his former
position as a purifier at the gas works
having been referred to the trustees by
your honorable body, We beg TO submit
the following: Superintendent Brown
states in his communication that he
"had to remove this man Greaves from
the purifying department-an impor-
tant One-iOr untitneSs and unreliable
ity.' We have made careful inquiry as
10 the correctness OF these charges and
are satisfied that they cannot be sus-
tanned. Greaves had filled the position
for about two years satisfactorily and
without complaint Justice and the
public demanded that there should be
some recognition OF Greayes' faithful
ness TO the City's interest, and as being
the medium through which attention
was first called TO possible irregularities
in the city'S gas affairs, resulting in the
present gas investigation. The pressure
brought TO bear on us by the public lOr
the reinstatement of Greaves as purifier
was much greater than that for the APP
pOintment of Brown as uperintendent.
This pressure, however, did not who'll
ly influence us in Our decision, but we
were actuated as we'll by the desire to
faithfully fulfil the trust repOSed in us,
and to 10 justice to the parties con-
Cerned.
We 10 not consider il our prerOgative
TO investigate matters which are entire
" personal. We would consider il
gross injustice were we to discharge Ell
ther party solely on the elimination Of
the other, unsustained by other testi-
mOny, Mr.. Browns suggestion that
our action tends 20 create insubOrdina-
ton and disregard for authority We con-
slider as not consistent with his own
course in the present instance, in which
he seeks TO set aside the acts and impair
the authority of the Trustees in the dis
charge of the duties definitely commit
ted to them by the ordinance under
which they exist and act.
In justice to the public, in justice to
the parties, in justice to ourselves, We
cannot recede from the action we have
taken.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. X. WHEAT,
WM. ELLINGHAM,
Trustees Of City Gas Works.

and the House proceeded to vote. The
result of the vote was-yeas l21, nays
81; so, there not being the two-thlrds
majority required by the Constitution,
the bill was rejected.
Ten of the Greenbackers voted IN the
affirmative, the other three, Messrs.
Barlow, Forsyth and Russell, not
voting.
The veto message was then referred to
the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Kenna asked leave TO report from
the Committee on Commerce bill
authorizing expenditures by the En-.
gineer Department for the purchase OF
sites, in execution of the River and
Harbor Bill of last session, but objection
was made by Mr.. Sparks.
Consideration of the silver bill was
then resumed. After discussion, Mr..
Warner, who has charge OF the bill,
again gave notice that he would call the
previous question tomorrow at )
O'Clock and moved that the House take
q recess.
To this Mr.. Frye objected, saying he
wanted the discussion OF the measure to
be continued for week longer rs 1t was
a very harmless discussion, and there
being no quorum present the House
adjourned.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Shelby made personal eXplana-
ton, asserting that the election in his
district was peaceable and fair; that
there had been no interference with any
voters and that there was no disturbance
or disorder on the day OF the election
growing out of the election.
Mr.. Russell followed with a personal
explanation in answer to speeches re-
Gently made by Mr.. Kitchen and Mr..
Davidson. He made a severe attack on
Mr.. Kitchen, who, he said, was in
nossession of a seat and drawing salary
To which ne was in no way entitled, and
10 whom he referred as a gentleman so
called bv the courtesy OF the Rouse.
This called forth a fierce speech from
Mr.. Kitchen, who referred to his col
league as one of those men from the
South who had deserted their race and
country, and bone and flesh, and joined
the rag-tag and bOb-tail OF creation. Mr..
Kitchen was called TO order by Mr..
Stephens, and then continued In more
moderate manner, Characterizlng, how
ever. several Of the charges made by Mr..
Russell as totally false. He asked Mr..
Russell if ne had not been cOurtmar-
tailed and dismissed from the COnfeder-
ate service. To which Mr.. Russell re-
piled he had been, but that it was for
whipping a conscription officer, and
that he was reinstated by JEFF. Davis.
This raised a laugh at Mr.. Kitchen, and
when he attempted to reply he was cut
offby a point OF order by Mr.. Gibson
and sustained by the Speaker that he
was not making a personal explanation.
Mr.. Davidson followed with his per-
sonal explanation, and denounced as
false the statement made by Mr.. Rus
SELL
Mr.. Knott then called up the veto
message and demanded the previous
question on the passage OF the military
interference bill over the Presidents
veto. ,
The preyious question was seconded

ST. PAUL, May l3.-ThroughOut
Minnesota, Northern Iowa ane North
west Wisconsin region, which annually
send 3O,OOO,OOO to 100000 bushels OF
wheat to market, the weather for ten

crop.
CHICAGO, May 13.-Reports from
various points in Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin have been received showing
that refreshing showers have fallen lately

Miscegenation Case.

RICHMOND, Va, May l3.-The mis-
cegenation case of Edmund Kinney
Ccolored) and Mary Susan Hall (white),
confined in the Virginia penitentiary
for violation of the State statute pro-
hibiting white and colOred citizens to
intermarry, was before the United
States Circuit Court to-day, Judge
Hughes presiding, upon petition for a
writ of habedS corpus. The chief ground
alleged in the petition is that the act OF
the Legislature OF the State of Virginia
making it a penal offense for white and
colored citizens to intermarry, is con-
trary to the Constitution and laws OF the
United States and void That the mar
rage having been celebrated in the
District of Columbia and valid there,
must be held to be valid throughout
the United States. Decision reserved.
