STEALING IRON.
The Trouble AT the Belmont Mill
Small Children the Thieves.

small Children the Thieves.
The Belmont mill has been troubled for
some time with thieves stealing their iron
in fact it has been an almost every day bus
mess for the young rascals to steal iron
from them. The company have set several
traps to catch the boys, but from some
cause none Of them worked successfully
A REGISTER reporter, while talking to Il
gentleman connected with the mill yester-
day, broached the subject Of iron stealing,
and cleaned the following information in
regard to it: The boys work the racket
very nicely. While Il portion are watch.
ing the watchmen, the ha.Bnce are busily
engaged in carrying off iron.
But how do they dispose Of this from
asked the reporter.
''Oh, that is easily enough done. There
are a number of "junk' shops in this city
that will buy all the old iron, rags, &c,
that can be brought to them, and as the
matter has been heretofore, we were una
BILE to identify u iron. The majority Of
those engaged in stealing iron are very
small children, and a man really hates to
have them arrested Oh 50 serious a charge
but hereafter they will all be prosecuted,
regardless Of their age Now ] think thai
those Junk" shops should also be pulled
up for buying iron frOm children, when
they do ROt know exactly where it comes
frcm. One thing is morally certain, som
body viii, catch it before a great while, il
this business Of stealing our iron is kept
up"
Something certainly should be done to
stop this business Of stealing. II children
are allowed To steal and nor be punished,
in a very few years this city would have 2
perfect nest of young burglars.

ALoosE ECCENTRIC
produces a Panic on the Little
Anna.
he Boat ~UnmanageabIe for a Moment and
the Passengers Alamed-Ho Real
Danger and Nobody Hunt.

In The presence OF apparent danger, men
and women often lose all control Of them
selves and all possession Of their senses.
This was the case on board the Martins
Ferry packet Little Anns, last evening.
The bsat left the upper landing, with 9
large crowd of people returning from the
campmeetiDg. After leaving the ferry
landing, an eccentric became loose and for
a moment the boat became manageable
ard fl ated helplessly down stream. For .
moment there was great danger OF drifting
upon the bead Of the Island and an effort
was made to replace the eccentric and use
the wheel. This was only partially sue
,essful and the boat was carried, bow on,
,oyard the ice breakers at Wilson and
Dunleyy's wharf. The passengers had be-
come frightened by this time, ana as the
bow approached the upper breaker q crowd
ran down stairs prepared to leap oil. The
boat struck, bow on, and a few leaped OF.
There was q rush toward the
stairs from above, but the Of
6cers of the boat and few
cool headed men kept them back and as.
sured them there was no danger. When
the bow struck it was lifted up and 3 few
blanks on the forward deck were raised.
This increased the alarm ana Wnen Tue
boat swung round and her broadside came
against the second breaker, a general rush
was made. Men and women leaped off
and were caught and stesdied by a few
men. The crowd remained on the boat,
assured by the officers, and those Who
jumped ran a great risk of hurting them
selves or Of falling into the river, which is
deep and swift at that point
The boat at once swung OIL and hoated
down stream. In a few moments the &c.
centric was then replaced, and the boat
was under full control. She was dropped
down 10 the wharf boat and landed as usu.
al, when the relieved passengers scampered
off. The boat Is only slightly damaged and
will be on duty again.
In cases of this kind, GOODNESS is an ad'
mirable and valuable faculty; There was
really little danger. except by a panic,
which c~oolness and presence of mind will
