CHRIS. MILL1TzER, an old German
farmer who lives about two miles south
of this place, while in ABellaire last Sat-
urday morning met with a severe acci-
dent. While he was engaved in unload
ing potatoes his team became frightened
at the cars and made plunge to run off.
Mr.. Millitzer in the excitement ran to
catch his team, and just as he reached
the off-horse, catching him with his left
hand something struck him on the right
arm above the elbow, breaking it badly.
A colored man stopped the horses, and
Millitzer was carried into Hapke's store,
when DIR. Kurz was called and dressed
his arm, from which he suffered much
pain.

FROM this distance it looks as If the
"remoyalists" of Belmont county made
blunder in forcing the county seat re-
mOval question into the politics of the
county this year. 1t certainly gained
nothing for the cause of removal, but
only resulted in giving little help to
the Democratic local ticket. Perhaps,
however, this was, its primary object.
If so. it was partial success. But their
Democratic Removalist Representative
will not be apt to figure very prominent
ly in a Legislature that has two
thirds Republican majority.-TCadiz

The County Buildings.

During the speech of Mr.. Gallaher at
the meeting held in this city the night
before the election, he made one point
which might. if we'll founded, have won
many votes in favor of removal of the
county seat, or at least of the erection OF
new buildings. That point was the al
legged insecurity of the public records
and their liability to damage from a
thousand and one accidents that might
happen to a .rickety and ramshackle old
building. We do net recollect the gen.
tleman's precise language, but the i'm
preston he left upon the minds of sew
eral of his hearers was that the recOUds
were in an insecure condition, and the
sooner they are removed from their
present quarters to a safer depository
the better it would be for the peace of
mind of large real estate owners. The
point was a good one, and at the time
there was no thought of questioning its
truth.
One day early in the present week the
editor, of the Times paid visit to st
Clairsville on business not entirely dis
connected with the county seat removal
controversy. While there we mentioned
to several gentlemen the point which
Mr.. Gallaher had raised in regard to the
building in which the county records are
kept. There was general expression
of indignation and surprise, and pains
were taken to show us the building
We found it to be a substantial brick
structure, practically fre-proof. The
Of avfro fhialpacC fhc
| windows are framed in stone, with heavy
iron shutters. The roof is composed en-.
tirely of thin plates of freestone, (Which
comes from a quarry in the neighbor
hood of st. Clairsyille) and is absolutely
fre-proof. Taken altogether, We doubt
| if there is more substantial building
in the county to-day, or one more pei
fectly proof against the destroying ele
ment.
| The point was also mentioned to Re
corder Hobbs, whom we found in his Of
flee, and the smile he INDUCED in was az
fiat contradiction as one could desire
| AS to the records, they were arranged
as systematically as human ingenuity
could devise, and there could be no vol
ume of record mentioned upon which
the Recorder could not instantly lay hi
hand. To our Impractical eye the ar
rangement of records seemed perfect
and their repository safe from anything
short of an earthquake.
The court house and Jail also came il
for casual inspection. We found th
court house rather dingy as to its out
ward appearance, and In need of som
slight repairs which will cost but httl
money. In its interior it looks room
and comfortable as well as solid an
substantial, and is good for many year
of active service yet. The Jail is soil
stone structure, well adapted to its US,
and apparently as enduring as the hi
: on which it rests. The conclusion is il
resistable, to one who will take the pain
. to examine the county buildings, ths
Il they will answer all possible demand
: upon them for many years to come

AS the mill is nearly always in motion
