Fire-DcmOcratic Convention
Hymcn's HOpes-Pleasant Per-
sonals-The Big Reunion.
The Bellaire Goblet Works met with
narrow escape from destruction by fire
ON Friday evening The frame building
used as an engine room caught from the
heated brick wall about the engine.
The alarm was given and the fire de-
partment responded promptly, but for
tunately their services were not needed,
the employees OF the company having
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
with hose kept at the factory. The
pecuniary loss was tritling.
Mr. David Walling, conductor on the
C.. d =. railroad, with his daughter Miss
Dora and son Master Guy, are making
quite lengthy visit to friends in Cleve-
land.
Mrs. Mary j. Trueman, OF Gravel
Hill, is visiting friends and relatives at
Glen Easton and Cameron, w. Va.
The Democratic County Convention
is to be held in the City Hall in this city
next Saturday, August 3Oth. The occa.
sion will be one of considerable impor-
lance, and the prospects now are that
full delegation will be present. The
action OF the Republican convention last
Friday week in nominating candidates
for Representative and Commissioner
who are avowed friends of the county
seat removal project to some degree
complicates matters for the Democrats.
The Leader is OF opinion that this fall,
owing to the division in the county on
local matters, it depends very materially
upon the action of the Democrats
whether it will be strong enough to win
or not. Party lines will be drawn very
closely in the county except in 1t.
Clairsville and in Bellaire, which places
will vote for their own interests very
largely, and there is no use Disgusting
the fact. The Republicans have accept
ed this as being true, and have made a
bid for the largest vote. 1t remains TO
be known now whether the Democrats
will do the same thing or not. If they
do. the contest will be evenly divided,
but if they do not we fear the result for
our Legislative ticket.

The various excursions to the Mounds
vile camp meeting were well patronized
Yesterday by Bellaire people. The

numbers to their loads, and the three
train. on the Baltimore and Ohio

attend to.

wedding of wife," are Mr.. Murray
