The trouble at the Por,eIflsld House,
mentioned in yesterdays REGsrEs, came
= bout q follows, as related by the propri-
etor, DIR. Pcrterfeld: Charles Clark, who
was raised about Wheeling. and who weot
TO Colorado some years ago, and claims
that as his home now, suddenly turned up
in Bellaire on Tuesday evening and re-
auested lodging at the PoIterfield Houss.
He ives always a sort of bum, and had not
changed in this respect, but as they knsW
him they didn't like to turn him away. SO
he was permitted to stay all night Next
day he surreptitiously entered the upstairs
atartments and went through several
trunks, with nogood result. PAT Meehans
trunk was opened, but as nothing o; value
was found, be took nothing. Z. III. MOI.
ris' trunk was also opened, but noih inS
taken. John CampbelIs trunk was tackled
also but Clark's key broke "a the ,ocx,
and thus stopped proceedings for time.
About ii O'Clock in the forenoon ElWood
Frymsn, who works at the b. y. round
house came home, anu going upstairs 20
bed, noticed the fellow Clark, who wa7
also preparingto lie down. Fryman took
the precaution. to put his pants under his
pillow for safe keeping, but CLARK LAID
quiet till he went to sleep, and then ne
cautiously pulled the psntaloons out and
took therefrom q silver watch and aoout
four dolIars in money. Then he ate his
dinner, just as though nothing was wrong,
end in the afternoon he left on the o:59
o'clock Cleveland and Pittsburg train ana
all before it wss discovered that he was the
fellow. Following is q measre description
of the upgrateful man: About ieet iU
inches slender build, clear blue eyes sandy
complexion, depression in nose very no
ticeable, hiss chin whiskers and mustache
and is about AZ years OF age. =,
The funeral OF Mrs. Mary Sherry wife Oh
the well-known Patrick Sherry, took place
Yesterday and vas largely attended.
Joseph Harris, the new travelling safes
man, for the Belmont G!sss Company left
Yesterday on q business trip. Joe is one OF
the oldest travelling statesmen in this Sec
ton Of the country.
Messrs. A. J. Mercer. recent secretary OF
the Belmont Glass WORKS, and Henry
Crummel, recent manager OF the same
works, contemplate the erection OF works
at Cambridge, with the aid OF the citizens
there. Both are good mtn.
ID. B. McCoy, whe recently resigned the
superintendency of the Bellaire, Aanesyllie
ard Cincinnati railroad, has been appoint
burgh division ana branches and wheeling
and Pittsburgh division of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. His headquarters Will
be in Pittsburgh. The appointment was
made to relieve to some extent the oner-
Gus duties Of The General Superintendent,
Thomas NJ. King.
There we're no fire alarms yesterday and
people were somewhat surprised, but q
constant watch was kept on the Carter
house.
MIR Adam Faupel is home from visit
with his brother, Chris, at Cumberland,
Md The latter is very low with heart
trouble.
MIR. Will Camp, Of lower town is quite
sick, threatened with fever.
Mayor Cooper and Jack Burke, the Mayor
and Marshall elect, both Democrats, start
off the new administration we'll, but there
is some difficulty about the appointment
Of Police which will probably all be tded
over without serious trouble.
The city council-elect is a tie politically,
hut they are ell good men and no trouble
is anticipated. Bellaire really doesn't seem
10 he governed by politics. In the organi
zltion the President and Vice President
are Republicans. and the clerks politics
are so badly mixed that no attempt IS made
to guess his.
HE lecture OF Miss Conthoni at the M
L. Church, last night, WAS well hltenusu,
and nearly everybody was well pleased.
Messrs. Charles Henry, Sr., and Henry
B Miller, the two members OF the school
Board elect were sworn in yesterday.
All Of the manufactures in this city are
running to there full capacity.
The Enterprise window glass factory will
be making glass by the 10th OF May. Most
of the stockholders in these works are
PRACTICAL window glass workers, as an evil
dence OF the growth of this industry. Bel.
laire and vicinity furnishes full illustra
tion. In 1881 there was but one factory
here-the Bellsire window glass conpanys.
Since then the capacity OF the Bsllaire
works has been doubled, the Union has
be en- built and operated, the Crystal enter
ID the market, the Barnesville works on
the high road of prosperity to such an ex
tent that in only two years business they
began to double the works, the Enterprise
company WAS formed and will add to the
product this year, and Quaker City is
building similar works. Thus in three
years the production OF window glass has
been increased in this vicinity alone from
ten.pot furnace to from fifty to sixty
pots.
