accorded all the privileges belonging to
those with good references. The lady
was supposed to do the writing and
transacting OF business pertaining to the
"irm." They paid their board promptly,
and noquestions were asked. "They were
engaged in selling futing and smooth
ing irons They drove brisk business,
and on rainy days they were justified by
receipts to hire horse and buggy and
peddle their wares. Yesterday was
muddy, and as the man Allen, who had
driven brisk business in the Fourth
ward, was coming down Noble street,
Just below Indian run, fourteen irate
women stopped and surrounded him,
and demanded hearing. They charged
him with selling them futing irons, fin
ished with lead, when he represented
them to be nickel-plated. Allen pulled
his hair and loudly yelled for an Impair
tial hearing. Several of the ladies Haunt
ed their white garments that they had
roned with the new irons, which
were streaked with lead marks that
would disfigure a grindstone. They
called for restitution, and those fourteen
women, brandishing their weapons and
calling for Justice, Is said TO have been
one OF the most striking, picturesque
and exciting scenes that has visited the
ward in long time. In vain did Allen
call for an explanation. In vain did he
plead for a hearing. He resorted to the
l.. hnren
and madly broke for Wheeling. 1t was
suggested, after the flight OF the
hat-iron man, that committee
of the ladies visit the woman
vino accompanied Allen. They accord
ingly visited the lady at her rooms and
laid out their grievances to her. We
were not present at this interview, and
therefore this tale is incomplete; but We
are warranted in saying that no more
will this fat.irOn man be seen in the
Fourth ward, neither will his voice be
heard long in this land.

Mr.. Daniel Manchester, the express

vile last week, is, we are glad to say, re-
covering with satisfactory rapidity at his

two new passenger coaches at Whining
ton, Del, and an additional locomotive
from Pittsburgh factory, which will ar
rive in few days. The demand ior
transportation OF passengers and freight
is far in excess OF the capacity OF the

Mr.. August Rodewigs friends have
had a surprise in the announcement, at
first mere rumor, but at length fully
confirmed, that on the twentieth OF last
month he went out TO West Alexander,
otherwise known as "Hardscrabble," F"
the Gretna Green OF this vicinity, and
was there united in the holy bonds OF
wediOck to Mrs MOllie +. Grouse,
handsome widow residing on Gravel
Hill. Squire Mayes pronounced the
mystic words which made these twain
one flesh, and they have been so happy
ever since that they forgot 10 say any
thing about it to anyone. But marriage,
like murder, will out, and at length Au-
gust has been compelled 10 stand up
like a man and take the congratulations
OF his numerous friends.
We have a sect among Us known as
the Winebrennarians, or, as they call
themselves, the Church Of God. Their
place OF worship is in the First ward,
and thev are now enjoying a revival.
They first organized in 1890 in Pennsyl-
vania, under the leadership OF Rev. John
Winebrenner, from whom they take
! their name. In government they re-
| semble the Presbyterians. They prac-
| tice feet washing a. one Of the positive
ordinances, claiming that they have as
much scriptural authority for it as for
the Lords Supper. They have great
religious zeal. They believe that Christ
will again appear in this world, when
his saints shall be raised from the dead,
and he will dwell with them for thon-
sand wears. They claim 10 number three
| hundred and sixty churches and thirty
| thousand members in the United States.
However peculiar they may be in doc
trine, and however much thoughtless
persons may scoff at them as fleet
washers, they are evidently doing good.
