PETRt BALBo.-Considerab interest is
felt in this city in the case of Petri Balbo,
the young Italian who murdered his wife
in fit OF Jealous rage, and then fled from
New York city, where the deed was done,
to this place, where he was captured by q
detective. He was tried, found guilty and
sentenced to be hung, the day for his exc.
cution being finally set for next Friday.
Thursdays New York Herald says:
It has been enormously stated that Bal
BIO is broken down in spirits and has be-
come very nervous. The fact is that he
was yesterday in as good spirits as he has
been in for weeks past. He is hoping for
the best. The keepers with whom he
comes in contact always speak to him as If
he stood fair chance Of getting a respite,
partly because they feel an interest in him
and partly because they feel 1t their duty
to keep him in goodspirits, so that he will
not attempt 10 commit any violence upon
himself. His counsel has told him all
that has been done in his behalf, OF the
differnnt persons who have interested
themselves in him and Of the expectation
OF an answer OF some kind from Cover
nor Cornell. Then there are many visit.
ors to the condemned man, nearly all OF
whom express the wish that he will be
saved from the gallows. With their assur-
ances constantly falling upon his ears the
Italian has made up his mind not to des-
pair until the Governors final decision is
made known. Balbs's religion is also an
aid to him. He devotes hours every day
to prayer, and says il the execution must
take place he is prepared to meet his God.
He made his confession yesterday to
Father Anacletus and received commu.
mon. After the clergyman had departed
Balbo had breakfast. His appetite cannot
be compared with that shown by Chas.
tine Cox under the like circumstances, but
he seemed to relish his meal. From the
time he finished his breakfast until dinner
time he was kept in cheerful spirits by the
visits OF different persons. After. dinner
hour two Sisters Of Mercy called upon
him. They went into his cell and prayed
a long time with him. While he was thus
engaged his counsel visited him. He told
Balbo that no news had yet been received
from Governor Cornell, but that a dis
patch was hourly expected. The con-
demned man said to Herald reporter, in
his broken English, "Me no break down.
My life in one mans hands, and me hope
a for the best

Mr.. CALLlY's NEW DIREoToRY.-Mr. W.
L. Calm has received his new Wheeling
City Directory from the printers, and will

The book contains 525 pages, and 10 by far

such as the State Postal and Official d.

DRY, the educational, religious and society
directories, tho votes Of the State by
counties since 1879, and others not nee
essary to specify. The book is sold to
subscribers OF $500, and considering
either the immense expense and labor
necessary in its preparation. its size and
form, or the value and convenience 1t Is TO

crate figure. Such q book. is a positive
necessity In almost any business, and Mr..

FIRE OVER THE RIvER.-Shortly after
o'clock last evening stable situated on
Third street, at Martins Ferry, and owned
by Thomas Johns, took FIRE, and the
flames rapidly enveloped the entire build.
ing, which was quickly consumed, to.
gether with large quantity Of hay which
was stored in the NOW at the time. We
could not learn the origin Of the fire, nor
whether there was any insurance on the
property. The loss will probably reach
$500.
From this side of the river the fire had
the appearance ef an extensive conaagra-
ton. and the impression prevailed that a
large amount OF property would be de-
stroyed. The dryness Of the wooden
building, and the presence so large an
amount Of hay, made the structure burn
like finder box.

drowsy and went out into the open air TO
