Notes and IncIdenIa,
It was four O'Clock yesterday morning
and the reporter still roaming the streets.
Passing down Main street below Tenth he
heard sounds like those which made
famous the New MArtinSvills Convention.
He proceeded down the alley from whence
came the advertisement Of the racket, and
by the dim light OF the new dawn Of INDIE
pendence Day, saw q fresh installmsnt Of
the Goshorn.K Kennedy fence war. Mr..
Goshorn held an advantageous position
ON the battle ground, and had thrown out
as q skirmish line 3 middle'aged German,
armed with a croWbAr, Several %nAtionRli-
ties were represented on the opposing side,
including both stxes, The GoshoEn troop
stuck his weapon q number Of times
through the interstiCes Of the disputed
fence and each time 1t was bit with With q
resoundiDg thwack with q heavy club
held by those over the boundary and
which caused juggling sensations Of pain
to ahoot through the hands Of the enemy,
and made him drop his bar every time.
He then used 1t as q battering ram and
soon had the fence down. During this
i~uarchiteCtuTal demonstration, II the
term can bs allowed, the croWbar once lit
on one Of the Germans middle toes,
making him howl with anguish, which
sOunds were received with piercing
shouts Of joy by the Kennedy squad,
The neighbors with night.capped heads
took voluble pArti in the conversation, and
one said he would see that an end WAS put
to the combat II the principals didn't,

THR CIRCUs,
Had 1t not been that a circus was In
town, yesterday would have been a CON.
parativeIy lifsless one in Wheeling. Even
as 1t was, while there were great crowds
on the streets, there seemed TO be an en-.

Still the people went to the circus. 1t
is probable that many went there to en-

over the community. The circus was In.

THAT had been advertised were
faithfully given, and even some Of
the jokes by the clowns were oil

seemed less interested than with Circuses
