Considerable interest has been taken
here in the Democratic County Con.
vention which is to be held at st. Glars
vile to-day. We have several aspirants
for office here, but in view of the coun-
ty seat removal movement it is hardly
probable that they would receive much
support in this portion OF the county
even if they were nominated.
There came near being a big blaze
here few days ago. A little boy named
VIM. Jackson set fire to pile of straw
which stood in close proximity 10 the
packing house OF the Goblet works in
South Bellaire. The flames were dis
covered, however, and quelled before
they had reached the large packing
house. The reckless youth was arrested
yesterday and placed in the cooler.
Mr.. Abe Johnson, who keeps saloon
on Union street, was badly injured yes
terday afternoon while hunting in the
neighborhood OF Mr.. Schick, Just out Of
town. He had climbed fence and
reaching back for his gun, took hold OF
it by the muzzle, when by some means
the load was accidentally discharged,
passing through the right hand and
SCATTERING all the bones of the fingers in
frightful manner. He was alone at
the time, and the less of blood was 80
great that it required almost superhu.
man exertion to reach Mr.. Schick's res.
idence, which was about mile distant.
He was brought to Bellaire in convey
ance and medical aid summoned imme.
diately. The wound was dressed, but
in all probability his hand will have to
be amputated. Mr.. johnson has large
circle OF friends who will extend their
sympathy.
