was a movement made in this city some
lime ago to start a Moral and Mental

a wholesale business in the plug hat

THE Real Estate, City Prison and

met last evening at the City Building, but
transacted no other business than that

thorough overhauling. Not the bust

shown that the affairs are above re-
proach. 1t is merely the walls and CELL

THINGS among the Justice shops were
decidedly dull yesterday. The only
thing in the criminal line was a peace
warrant issued by Squire Bill Miller
and then he went to Washington and
lett the ease until to-day.

YESTERDAY morning, about half past
ten, some stranger. rather under the in
huence, decided that he wanted TO die,
and with hat end in view, laid himself
down on the Pewiky track, near the de.
pot in this city, to await the coming OF
A train. Officer Shorts, however, was
cruel and would not let him die, but
took him up to see General Wallace.
This stranger was the only guest that
the General had last night.
ABOUT half past nine or ten O'Clock
last night Officer Asmus, OF the Eighth
precinct, was called upon to arrest Bob
O'Hara, a miner on Woods street, who
was engaged in the pleasant occupation
of beating his wife. Asmus sailed in
and tolk a hand, and after considerable
trouble managed TO land O'Hara in the
Eighth ward station. What the cause
oi the family disagreement was could
not be learned.
The sad intelligence was received in
this city yesterday that Miss Ella Moore,
one OF the teachers of the Eighth ward
school, had died in Parkersburg, and
her remains would he up on the Gra-
ham. Miss Moore died in ParKersburg,
where she was visiting, and was taken
i'll, but the school commissioners prom
ised TO keep her room for her until her
recovery. The lady was one who pos
sessed many pleasant and social quail
tiles, and was a favorite both with
teachers and scholars.
Is the office of the County Clerk yes
terday, there was a paper recorded by
Caroline Shriver, in which she states,
that provided the city of Wheeling
agrees to pay $1,000. the amount the
Commissioners, appointed for the pur-
pose Of appraising the Shriver estate on
the proposed Fifteenth street extension,
provided the city pays that money into
court, she will not make any demand
on the city, as she is sure she can estaO-
fish her claim To the money.
ABOUT 9 O'Clock last evening a tele-
phone call for police was received at
headquarters, from the upper Riverside
turye. Officers Shorts and Sullivan
were Immediately dispatched to the
scene but found everything very quiet
There had, however, been a very sharp
and lively fight between a couple OF mill
men near the stables OF kasley, Brooks
4 Co, but the rumpus was all over by
the time of the arrival Of the police, and
the people in the vicinity refused to give
any information, so that no arrests
were made.
TIIg Committee on Fire Department
could not get a quorum last night, and
therefore NJ business was transacted.
rhe committee will be called TO meet at
7 O'Clock this evening at the city build
ing, and every member is earnestly re-
auested TO be present, as there Is busl-
ness of importance to be transacted, and
Supt. Gamewell has some matters that
he wishes to call the attention OF the
committee too. The meeting Is called
for seven o'clock in order that the COM
mittee may finish its work before coun'
Gil meets.
