Butter Confscated.

Early Saturday morning Market Master
Robinson, of the Second ward market, con-
fiscated about fifty pounds of butter from
q counlryman named Charles B. Galiher, of
st. Clairsyille, upon the claim that it was
short in weight, it being put up in rolls,
as Robinson claimed, that they were repre-
sented as pound rolls, but upon being
weighed fell short. NJ. Galiher positively
states in defense that he had Just opened up
his basket of butter and bad offered some
for sale when the Market Master came along,
picked up roll or two and said: This
butter is short in weight" took and
weighed every roll, and did find, according
to his word, every roll weighed less than a
pound; but, said NJ Gather I did not
state that each roll weighed pound, nor
had i any idea of selling them as pound
rolls. The Market Master disposed of the
butter according 70 the city ordinance, and
put the proceeds of the sale into the city
Treasury. This is rather hard on Mr.. Cali
her. Did be intend to cheat the public he
deserved the consequences; was he lily
treated he should have redress. Mr.. CALI
her instituted suit sgainst Mr.. Robinson
before Squire Peterman later in the day to
recover damages for the value Of the but
ter. The case will be tried to-day.

II will be seen that the lower the room
the greater the number of scholars, and
here is where the chief difficulty arises.
Children from six TO ten years OF age re-.
dutre more attention than those further
advanced, and when teacher has so many
she cannot possibly attend to them in the
way they should be. In Union, Richie,
Madison and Webster districts, and also
the colored school, the number has reached
so high that the Board of Education has
been forced to remedy it. A room in the
German Mission Church was secured
for the surplus in Union dis
trict, and AZ pupils attend there.
In Madison two rooms were necessary to
accommodate the surplus, one over Nor
rison's grocery, containing 81 scholars, and
one at the hose house, containing 90 pu-
pills. Richie district seems to have a
greater number than either of the above
lSO-and two rooms were secured in the
Lutheran Church for their accommodation.
In Webster district room IS being pre-
pared in the basement of the school build
ing for the accommodation of about Is lit
tie ones. The coIored school room is be-
ing divided by partition, and two teach
ers will have to be employed for the lower
room. Thus it will be seen that the build
ings are entirely inadequate for the num-
Der OF pupils attending school, and to give
them proper care and training a remedy
should be provided at once by the Board of
Education,

last Friday night Mr.. J. A. Cook, resi-
dent of Bellaire, and printer, weii-knoWu

ministering western justice to Ball smitn,
a horse thief, in the shape OF coat Oh Jar

About wear ago in Bellaire, COOK was

in The ward attached TO his residence.
Smith ciit him in the side with kniie,
when Cook ran into the house, grabbed up
n butcher knife, and returned in time 10
avertake his would-be murderer. Smith
succeeded in again cutting Cook in the side,
when the latter made a slash at MIN Win
the butcher knife, carrying him 10 sne
earth, and inflicting what Cook supposed 70
no a fatal injury. Cook went Immediately
n Marshal Drugan and reported the o.
currence, but on returning 10 the Piace 'n'

How n Young Miss Bounced Her Rival
and Secured the Idol Of Her Heart.


The old saying that "every lassie has her
laddie" did not pan out last night in fact
it Mas proved to the satisfaction of the by
ISLANDERS quite to the contrary. About
nine o'clock last evening couple-young
man and woman-came promenading
down Market street, linked arms and look

did they think there was lurking in the

or, at least thought she had, upon the gay
lothario. The lady numbered one, 1--WE

Lady No. 2 was on the alert also. She felt
that something was wrong, and was bound
to fathom the mystery. Had he Tilted her?
Was he merely trying her? Well, il he
was, he is certainly satisfied by this time.

"OUR FRANK"
rendered a Handsome Reception al
Rolls, Saturday Night.

Frank Booth Hening, or "0ur Frank"
as he is more Familiarity known to Wheel
ing people since he adopted the dramatic
profession, has been with us for the past
two days, playing with the Katherine Rog.
ers company. Ever since a boy, Franks
aim has been directed toward the stage, but
the friends of his school-boy days never
dreamed he would some day tread the
boards. Until recently he remained in
obscurity, but all the time was engaged in
deep study. His performances at different
soirees last winter told our citizens there
was material in him for a good actor, and
heartily they wished him success He en-
tered school Of elocution in New York
City, and made such rapid progress that it
was commented upon by the press of that
city quite freely. Then be engaged with
the Katherine Rogers company, and has
given entire satisfaction. The coming OF
the company was heralded some weeks ago,
aid when seats were placed on sale there
was grand rush. Wheeling turned out
nobly, and gave her son q rousing testi-
monial-not only by their presence, but by
words OF praise. Frank is indeed, for one
so young and inexperienced, q good actor,
ana Is certain some day to shine as bright
star Of the dramatic armament.
After the performance Saturday night
some of his old schoolmates took him.
together with Mr.. Blake, leading man of
the company, in tow. and marched them to
Rolfs, where, beforehand, a splendid sup
Ger had been arranged. Some two hours
were spent in discussing the dainties, in.
terspersed with "reminiscences of their DAYS
at school, laughter, songs, &c, after which
he party broke up, all wishing their friend
success untold. and that ere long he WOULD
reach the highest pinnacle OF the art, in
which the REGISTER heartily joins.

The back door of her house had been left

entrance to the house, and in roaming
about the lower story, stumbled over a

she started down stairs. Just at the foot
of the stairs she met the sneak, who pulled
a pistol and fired a shot at her. Fortunate
ly the bullet miscarried and lodged in the
wall near by. She then ran back up stairs
and threw a coal bucket, coal and all, at
her would.be assassin. This created quite
a racket, and the burglar thought it health.
