Dr.. D. q. Martin, OF GAINESVILLE was
in the city on professional business yes
t .rday.
Two carloads of melons we're received
here, Yesterday. q o. A. Taylor took
them in charge.
Rains are badly needed in this section.
Tne crops are being burned up by inches
and the farmers are down in the lip.
A special meeting Of the School Board
has been called for tonight. 1t is hardly
probable that the schools will take up
for at least ten days yet.
Mrs. Jane Warren and family left yes.
terday for Wooster, o., where they will
live in the future. Mrs. Warren has
many friends in Bellalre who hated to
see her leave.
Willie Jackson, who was locked up in
the cooler for setting fire to the straw
near the Goblet Works, WAS fined $40
Yesterday, and was again allowed to
''snuf" the fresh air.
The new furnace put in the National
Glass Works by Hamilton Veterinarian
& Co, OF Wheeling, has proved to be a
great improvement over the old n and
the proprietors are well pleased with the
Investment.
Hon. D. Wagner passed through Bel
laire yesterday morning on his way TO
Columbus. 1t is said that he went over
to pick out his seat in the House. but
we will not vouch for the truth OF the
statement.
We ran across three prominent physi-
clans Yesterday. They all looked happy
when they said that they had had no
new cases OF diphtheria this week. 1t
looks as though this disease had about
run it course; and We hope this may
prove to be the case.
At the Council meeting on Tuesday
evening an ordinance was ordered to be-
drawn up prohibiting the B & o.. Com
pany from taking such longand heavily
loaded trains we the railroad bridge
here; also %instructing them to place
lights along certain portions OF their
track within the city limits.
A communication has been received
informing the Council that the B. & o.
Railroad Company will get out an ir-
junction preventing them from placing
a bridge we their tracks on Belmont
street. The Council instructed the City
Solicitor 10 resist the injunction. This
company has treated the city Of Bellaire
in a very unjust way about this bridge,
and the Council are now determined
that they shall be brought to terms.
The nominations made at the Demo-
cratic County Convention, which was
held at st. Clairsville on Tuesday, give
general satisfaction here. Two OF the
nominees, Hon. David Wagner for
Representative and Thomas Cochran
for Probate Judge, are also on the County
Seat Removal ticket, 80 their election is
assured. 1t is generally regretted here
abouts by Democrats, that Mr.. j. F..
Kelly vas defeated for Prosecuting At
torney. Four years ago Mr.. Kelly re-
fused to run for that office on the
Greenback ticket against a Democrat,
and it seems but just that he should
have received the nomination, yet no
man knows where he stands in politics.
A postal card reading as follows passed
through the Bellaire postofice, yester.
day:
WHEELING, W. Va, August 30th.
Mayor, BsLdire, o.:
DEAR SIR-There are two dead dogs
lying in Wheeling Creek checked for
Bellaire.
1t was cheering news and it must have
been a very thoughtful person who sent
the message. In fact, he was much
more thoughtful than most OF the
Wheeling people, who have sent their
dead stock down this way, have been.
