SrEUBEsyILLE, o, February 2.-The 40
ton of the City Council in rejecting the
name of James F. Bigger, ESQ.,, who was
nominated by the Mayor to fill an uneI-
pired term Of City Solicitor, occasioned BY
the resignation of the former solicitor, Mr..
Reynolds, cause the Mayor to state that
none other but a Democrat would be
selected BY him for the position, and Coun-
ell accordingly ordered an election to be
held 70 fill the position, the nomination
being In progress to-day. The candidates
sre John A. Mas6eld and William McD.
Miller. Both gentlemen arc young and
promising lawyers, but Mr.. Miller has the
advantage Of always having been staunch
Republican, and that party could certainly
do much more than placing him in nomi-
nation. Mansfield, up to couple OF years
ago, was Democrat, which may interfere
some with his chances for nomination.
However, both are good men and would
make good solicitors.
Ii seems that
A BAND Of "Crooks'' from Pitt burgb
struck the city Thursday. thinking, prob
ably, Steubenville would be- good town
to do" They started in by picking Mr..
MONEYS pocket, the particulars of which
appeared in the REGIsrER of Friday, which
resulted IN three of them being captured
and identified by Mooney as the thieves.
Two more Of the gang, hearing the police
we're on their scent, took the O'Clock
train on the same day for Pittsburgh
About noon of Thursday the cook Of the
st. Nicholas Hotel discovered that his
Sunday clothes" had been stolen alone
with his scarf-pin, but no clue to the
thsyes could be had. Foreign thieves who
come here to practice their games will learn
sooner or later that Steubenville is q cold
place 10 visit, and at least until the present
city administration expires had better give
the city wide birth.

Being out so late of night the partner Of

very we'll satisfied WITH his stale lodge"
Oh business stories, and one night fIl-
loved and seen him enter the theatre. He
returned home after the show and q warm
reception greeted him. In fact, it grew so
hot that be left the house under fire, from
both bis wife and mother-in-law, but re-

dsShiDg serio-comics.
