PARKERsBURG, May 29.-The excursion
on the Diurnal which left Wheeling on
Saturday night last reached Parkersburg
at o'clock Sunday morning. The Opera
House Band was on board and enlivened
the trip with music. The band is COM
posed of genial gentlemen who are prof.
cient in the art. The managers made a
mistake in allowing few drunken young
men, some OF them beardless boys, to mar
the pleasure of the trip by their disorderly
conduct. Almost during the entire night
the cabin echoed with profane and often
vulgar language from about half 4 dozen
drunken fellows, who should have been
put of the boat before leaving port, as they
had opened the ball and had a row before
leaving Wheeling.
The Majority
OF the exCursionists were respectable peo.
ple and we'll behaved, but there were some
who by their conduct here showed that
they had no regard for themselves or for
the respect OF our citizens. While they
did not violate the laws OF the city they
openly violated the laws of common de-
cenCy in several ways. The Durnal made
the run from Bellare to Marietta seventy
minutes, making from landings and from
Marietta to Parkersburg twelve miles in
forty-iive minutes.
Capt Ed Maddy OF the Chesapeake, the
