Interesting Chat Between Number OF
Them.
From the Detroit Journal.
The other day party Of young men assem-
bled around table in Monroe avenue
saloon. There were seven in the company.
Five of them were clerks employed in cloth
ing store, the sixth was hat clerk and the
seventh was bartender. They were all drink
ing and smoking, and noisy. Finally one of
the clothing clerks said:
"IIow much do you think is stolen from
our store by the cerks"
ooh, they can't steal in the clothing depart
ment," said one Of the men, who was a cloth
ing clerk.
"Nor in the hat department, said the hat
clerk.
Gentlemen" said the first speaker, 'you
know you are mistaken. Why could steal
$Ioo week and no one would know the diff
erence. 1t was only yesterday that could
have stolen $40 if had had mind to do so.
"You see had customer, took him off in
one part OF the store, and sold him a coat
Now, no one saw me make the sale. After he
| had purchased the coat, he put II on and
placed rubber coat over 1t, and then left the
store"
"Oh," said the second speaker, 'you could
steal ifyou wanted to do so that way"
"Yes, but there are other ways. You can
sell clothing for higher prices than they are
marked. All you are required to do is to tear
of the price. There are hundreds of ways o.
stealing money in clothing stores"

lead Of poor, who is now serving his sen

OF the clerks.
"Or-," said another.
"They didn't try to steal money" said III,
first speaker. They were stealing goods
They were very foolish. But know for
positive fact that there are men who are steal

Why, there is another man in the store getting

"But we are getting off the subject" said a
clothing clerk. snow know for fact that
money can be knocked down in the hat and
cap business"
ayes, that is so," said the hat clerk, 81 will
tell you how it is done. You know when you
sell hat you are compelled to take a similar
one to the cashier for inspection. Now, be-
fore man buys hat, he generally looks at a
lot of them. No one is watching you, and II
he buys 81 hat, or a ST. one, no one knows.
You can bring So hat for inspection, and

Another Of the Oldest Land Marks Be-

Craigs grove, near West Alexander, out
the Hempfiell, which has been a place Of
pleasurable resort for young and old from
this city, indeed for those from other
States, is being rapidly reduced by the axe
OF it's Vandal owner, a recent purchaser.
This enterprising individual ,allured by the
tempting offer OF an itinerant owner Of a
portable saw mill, consented To the act OF
vandalism on condition that he should re-
ceive one third of the gross number OF two
inch boards. His necessities might have
been his apologies, but the act
of consent is certainly re-
Election on his financial fore
sight, for, situated as that grove was, at
the very gates of this city, and rendered
even more accessible and valuable by the
completion of the Hem pfeld, it would in
the very near future have proven itself of
very great value 10 its pOssessor. The
trees of this forest were grand old oaks OF
immense size and rare beauty, and their
sacrifice to the Cupidity of a strolling lawyer
calls for more than a passing protest. The
fact OF ownership and consequent absolute
control is admitted, but the further fact
remains that in some instances there are
ownerships which come by long usage to
be relative. The most magnificent castles
on the Rhine, and the most magnificent
forests of England are the property OF in
dividuals, to whom tempting offers have
been made, but tire respect they had for
public opinion forbade any transfer.

AMUSEMENT MATTERS.
Matters OF Interest to Our Local MtSic-
nj reople.

"Old Folks Concerts" will give our juno
nile singers an Opportunity to distinguish
themselves at the Opera House in April.
Prof. Malmene does not receive a very
com mpIimentary notice in UuSic aud Drama
on a song entitled "Daybreak."
The CaCciian Society, whichdmeets next
Thursday evening at the Germanis Hall,
invites all its members and others who feel
interested in the permanent establishment
of a singing society to attend without fail
on that evening.
Three concerts entitled, "Old Folks Con-
Certs," will be given April 18th, l4th and
18th, in the Opera House. The children
taking part in these entertainments are
selected from the Clay, Union and Centre
schools. The proceeds will be principally
devoted to the Public Libaary.
The members of the Legislature will be
busy this week in attending receptions
rendered them. The Lincoln Club will re-
ceive them on Thursday evening and the
Female College will give them reception
on Friday evening. Music will form part
of the evenings diversions.
The interest Of the musical people in
Martins Ferry is increasing in the study
of the little operetta The HaymaSers.
The chorus numbers nearly fifty singers,
and Professor Malmene has every hope
that the performance will be satisfactory.
Our very popular and talented young
vocal artist Mrs. C. W. Eotf, with her hus-
band and Hermann SchUckey, went to
West Alexander on last Friday night and
assisted in a concert given for the benefit
of the church. Mrs. EOff as usual sang
charn.ingly, and was loudly and frequent
ly encored. Prof. SchOckey's violin play
ing was everything that could be desired.
The people speak in the highest terms OF
the concert.
Stimulated perhaps by the many charm
ing operas given of late at the opera
House, arrangements are in progress for
the rendition of at least three operas by
home talent, assisted probably by one tenor
from abroad. This is as it should be. We
have singers here who are capable of reu-
dering the leading parts OF any OF the less
pretentious operas in a very acceptable
manner. and who are always listened TO by
our people with very great pleasure. Let
US by all means have an operate festival in
Wheeling given by home talent.

Hutchinson's school house is two miles
north OF st. Clairsyihe, and there, on the
evening named, literary society gave an
entertainment After it was concluded,
two young men, NAMED John Anderson
and Isaac Berry had an Alteration. Berry
was under the influence If llquer and very
ouarrelsome and the ditlculty ended in
his cutting Anderson in the right side
with a pen knife. The wound was very
dangerous one and as soon a it was made,
Berry disappeared for parts Unknown and
has not since been heard of. DR.. Houston
of ST. Clairsville, was summoned and
dressed Anderson's wound, He pro-
nounced the case critical one, and there
are grave doubts of the wonnled mans
recovery.
A warrant was taken out for he arrest

Both men are under 20 years OF tge and

PETTY THIEVES,
Aod the Places They Dispose Of Their
Goods 4


There certainly must be an organized
gang of thieves in this city. composed prin-
cipally Of young men and boys ranging
from 10 to Is Yeas, and II they are not
checked shortly will look to larger game.
There is not an industry in this city that
has not been troubled more or less with
this gang. AS one of the proprietors
of large industry in the city said
Yesterday. "YOu can not lay anything
down, that can be converted into money,
but when you return some person has
stolen it," That is the cry all over the
city. This gang operates very successfully
and have thus far escaped detection, but
their success will eventually be their down.
fail, for they will get bolder and bolder as
they steal and are not caught. Only last
week three very youthful burglars were
caught and are now lying in Jail awaiting
the action of the next grand jury.
To give our readers a slight idea how
they work and fix their things for market,
i will relate what was told by . mill smssi
yesterday. He stated: Some time ago
had occs sion to go to the mill about Pm,
and as passed heating furnace, thought
heard voices in one Of the ash pits Stop
ping beard something tap, tap, tap, and
then all was quiet for a few moments. This
was repeated several times, and upon ap-
preaching the pit four young fellows ran
out OF it and made good their escape.
Naturally i wanted 10 know what they
were doing, and getting down in the pit
found large quantity OF brass belonging
to the railroad company, which are used as
boxes for the wheels. These boys were
heating them and breaking them up for the
purpose of selling them easily. In great
many instances the thieves do not have to
go to the trouble OF breaking the brasses,
lead pipes, &C., for there are places
where almost anything can be sold at a
great reduction on it's face value, and per-
sons keeping such places should receive
dou BILE the punishment of the thief, as
they encourage the young boys to steal, so
that they Will make big money off them.
The Belmont mill lost this week about 40
feet of piping, which was in sections OF
or feet, and brasses enumerable have been
taken from the other Industries of this
city
