presented for a long time past. The

A DIFFERENT VIEW
OF the Matter Of KEELING Liquor Pre-
ReriptiOnS.

A short time ago, in response to COM
munication from Pharmacy Commissioner
Booking, the Attorney General decided
that q prescription Tor liquor cannot be
r, filled. The AntcrirGH Pharmacist takes a
different view of il, but its premises are
not correctly taken, neither is it familiar
with the law. II says:
An interesting question upon which
hinges the ownership of the prescription,
has been raised in the Wheeling, w. Va
courts, where a druggist was prosecuted for
selling LIQUOR. He pleaded i'll defense that
il was sold upon prescription, and the
prosecution showed that il was a rehllins
of a prescription calling for liquor and
previously dispensed The court held that
the druggist had no right to refill
a prescription without the physicians
order, and that in doing so in the instance
on trial he became seller OF liquor within
the meaning of the statute. This is as we
understand the report of the case made to
us. Ii could scarcely be assumed by any
court TO discriminate between diiferen'
forms Of prescriptions, and il it be held
that refilling prescription for liquor is
not legitimate dispensing, the same rule
will have to apply in other cases, aud the
legal statutes OF 4 prescription will De de
tined. Ii seems 10 US that the refill
ing Of prescription is matter
which lies between the patient and ths
physician for settlement. Ii the former
cannot be trusted, then the physician
might notify the dispensing druggist that
the prescription is not 10 be repeated with
out orders. Otherwise the pharmacist has
the right, and il seems TO us is bound under
all ordinary circumstances to refill pre-.
sCription when it is called for. Whether
he should exercise that right in the case OF
LIQUOR remaiGs for him to decide according
TO the circumstances Of the case, aud mis-
personal views upon the sale OF liquors.

FELL AMONG THIEVES.
A Philadelphia Man With Wine
and Women,
Loses His Senses, His Money and His
Vauables -The Story He Told
Register Reporter,

A man went down to Ssmaria, some time
since, and fell among thieves, but Phila-
delphia merchant, who came to the city
recently, Jared not less badly, and has been
utterly stripped Of his valuables. 1t was
gossipped about town yesterday that
stranger had come here and been fleeced,
but who he WAS or how it was done no one
seemed to know. Late last night in down
town saloon a REGISTER reporter met the
man and got from 6im his story. 1t was
as follows:
His name is Walter S. Keebler and he is
member of the Philadelphia cracker firm
of Cdfrey Keebler & Co. About zen days
ago he came here with $4S7 in money and
a valuable gold watch and chain. He
stopped at the Stamm House, but where he
wandered from there he does not know.
He only knows he went to East Wheeling
and got into what he called French
sporting house" lie stayed there for some
time and finally came out without a cent
of money and minus his watch aud chain,
His experience evidently taught him moth
ing. He Immediately telegraphed home
and received 800 more, with which he re.
turned TO the house and soon lett there. Last
night in maudlin state he was wandering
shout town, in and out of saloons, without
a cent.
This is his story. He did not say what
he proposed doing, but only that he want
ed to get his money back. How he is going
about il is mystery, as he doesn't even
know how it went. One or two persons
who have seen him, say he was taken in
and feeced by crowd OF petty sharpers,
who first filled him up with drink. He
was registered at the Stamm House, but
left there at noon, yesterday. AS the REG
rsTER goes TO press this morning he l.
wandering about Market street. without
money and without friends. What police
officer will play Good Samaritan and re-
lieve his necessities by recovering his
money?
After the above was written, Keebler, i:
was learned, produced little more money,
which, however, soon melted away in the
SALON. 1t seems that he telegraphed home
again, yesterday, for money, as he had with
him dispatch dated at Philadelphia and
signed Godfrey keebler, reading:
Not a cent. Come home at once"
He will probably TO day find friends and
the means to get back to Philadelphia.

From Squire Schup-s ode to August
A week ago some thoughtless citizen re-
marked his belief that summer was over
and We would have no more warm weather.
This otherwise estimable man is reaplng
the fruit of his impiety, for he says he was
right-summer is over but Hsdes has
come. Thus far, this week has been
most .unbearably hot. Sunday and
Monday were close and sitting, but
Tuesday and yesterday were openly and
unequivoeally hot Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, but the greatest OF these
is Wednesday. What il must have been
yesterday, 10 the workers at the mill forge
or glass house furnace, only those SO en-
gsged can tell. The sun beat down with a
fierce heat that even shade did not temper
and thaG left happiness in nothing but
cold showerbath.
The intense heat brought on q fierce
thunderstorm at dark, and for an hour the
lightning flashed, the thunder roared and
the rain fell 6eliciOusly. But an hour
afterward it was warm as ever, aud at 10
O'Clock the REGIsIKR newsroom, with the
many gas Jets, was wrestling with tenn.

ALL rs JEALOUSY.
Once More the Register Floors the In

Once More the Register Floors the In
teIlixeneer and other Papers
A few days ago the REGISTER published
an article detailing the fall OF woman
into the river at Bellaire. She fell between
the packet and the wharf boat, had very
narrow escape from drowning and was
pulled out in a dripping condition. The
REGISTER was the only paper which con-
tanned the news item, (which fact filled
its esteemed contempor aries with angry
jealousy. The Independent said the
same day, that not a word of truth was in
the item, which was, however, a good
REGISTER item" On Monday the veneer
able Intelligencer, with the verjuice OF
jealousy souring it throughout, from lead
ing editorial TO river item, published the
Hldependents comments. For the IateAt.
qencer too, was left on it, and was angry.
On Tuesday the small Journal came out
with the same Independent item, for 1t, TOO
poor soul, was scOoped.
In spite of all this jealous contradiction,
the item, it is unnecessary to say, was en-
tirely and exactly true. The occurrence
was seen by several gentlemen. including

quite an excitement was created on Eoff
street. below Eighteenth, last night by q
shooting affair in which Jennie Lee, q
t,,Hnle de Joie, was principal. Jennie says
she keeps an orderly house, and will 50
maintain it if she has to fight for it.
About 10 o'clock two Centre Wheeling
roughs came OFT there and began
the pastime of slamming the
shutters, kicking the door and using abu-
sive language. Jennie came out to remon-
strate ald was hit in the breast. She then
returned and came back with her pistol,
with which she began playing on the
ranks Of the enemy. One OF the shots
went whistling across to the corner Of
EOff snd Eighteenth streets, and pierced
window in Mrs. Helfer's grocery, narrowly
missing the head OF the owner, who was
standing at a counter nearby.
The roughs, after some horribly vulgar
and indecent language, made themselves
scarce. Officer Morris, the ever vigilant
Dom, was near at hand aud came TO the
scene, accompanied by several other off,

six hundred curious people who had gath

LIGHTS BLOWN OUT

On the Elm Grove Cars, Which Result.
ed In q Fight.
The arrival of the last car on the Elm
Grove road, last night, witnessed a lively
little fight on the sidewalk in front Of the
office, in which two drivers tloored men
who had been disorderly on the car. The
story is somewhat mixed, the versions
given by the respective sides being widely
different. When the car passed
through Fulton, one Of the in
ebriated jewellers turned the lantern
out, even throwing the wick down into the
oil and making an explosion imminent.
The driver could not tell who had done ii
and some OF the passengers got to teasing
him about his efforts to lind out. Words
eDsued and fight seemed inevitable, the
approach of which greatly alarmed the
ladies on board. Nothing:was done until
the car stopped at the office, when the
quarrel was renewed and two drivers each
knocked his man down. Who was in the
wrong could not be told, but officer Taylor
arrested man named Bowman, who was
one of the foored. ones, but finally
let him 90. The. truth will
come out in police court to-day.
In view of the recent fighting and disor.
der on the cars, the drivers should, at
least, be encouraged in their efforts to pro
tpcl their passengers from violence, insult
and profanity.
