A RIOT.
The Steubenville excursion, which went
Up on the steamer Frank Stein on satur'
| day, arrived at our wharf on the return
| trip at about 40 Saturday evening. The
bows who made the Tip had most of them
been drinking considerable beer and were
in a ouarrelsome mood. Just before land
jig at our wharf two of the toughs on
toard had a dispute about some trivial
matter, and soon began to pound each
other. The melee
SOON BECAME GENERAL,
and it is said that about q dozen or more
were engaged in the fight. Dump Sher-
man was standing at one side and taking
no part IN the fuss, when some of the
drunken mob commenced IN him. He got
pretty badly scratched up, and was about
the only one in the party who bore any
marks OF damage that your reporter could
see. His face looked like a map OF Africa.
He finally pulled his revolver and
BANNED AVA
at the crowd and very fortunately missed
everybody mi the ball buried itself in the
wood work at the side of the cabin. The
manager expected to take a short run down
the river after landing here, but the trip
was abandoned and the boat steamed off for
Wheeling. A number OF Wheeling bloods
were left on the bank or this side OF the
river and one of them in his anger at being
left pulled his pop-gun and
FIRED AT rae BOAT,
which was then a considerable distance from
shore. Most of the parties who partici-
pated in the row are known to the police
but no arrests have been made as yet. The
row having occurred on the river our au'
thorities have no jurisdiction.
Owing 10 the reckless driving OF one OF
Smulbach's heavy beer wagons on satur'
day afternoon about four o'clock, Mrs. Bet
sy Archer, an old lady living in the Sec
ond ward OF this city, met with a very
painful accident. She was crossing the
street when the wagon dashed around
the corner at a rapid rate, aud before she
had time to get out Of the way the tongue
Of the wagon struck her
KNOCKING HER DowN.
One of the horses stepped or her ankle
and injured her very severely. The driver
of the wagon was immediately arrested
! and taken to the city building, where he
gave bond for his appearance on Monday
morning. The drivers of beer wagons have
a habit of driving at a very reckless rate oil
speed in the city, very frequently going as
fast as their horses can run, and numerous
narrow escapes of pedestrians can be seen
and heard Of, but this is the first time that
anything serious has occurred.
