NEXT week the county commissioners
meet in regular session, when it is ex-
pected formal proceedings will begin
concerning the erection of the new court
house The commissioners are acting
judiciously in endeavoring to learn the
public demands, before entering upon
the work of contracting. The buildings
which they shall cause to be erected, it
must be remembered, is not only for the
present generation, but for generations
to come, when it is fair to presume the
population of the county has more than
doubled and trebled its present popula-
ton. They have no trifling job before
them, but one requiring much patient
attention and care.

Burglars Arrested.

On Tuesday of last week, Marsha
Burke, of Bellaire, assisted by TIVE
Wheeling policemen, arrested three men
in Wheeling, who gave the names of E.
G. Fulton, C. P. Morrisey and c. A. Full
ton. on suspicion of being the perpetra
tors of numerous recent burglaries in
this county. Marshal Burke followed
the parties from Bellaire to Wheeling,
and while waiting the arrival of Wheel
ing officers, fearing the men would es
cape, placed them under arrest himself,
when they showed fight, each pulling a
revolver, This had the effect of trying
the metal of the.new chief of Bellaire's
police, and he was found equal to the
occasion, and pulling his own weapon,
shot the one giving the name of G. A.
Fulton, in the body, near the spine.
Wheeling officers arriving at this time,
the men were disarmed. J. w. Knox,
postmaster at Mt. Olivet, whose store
had been robbed the Sunday previous,
arrived and identified part of the goods,
and it is Thought the remainder are from
Kinks store in MOrristown.
On Friday the men had hearing be-
fore Mayor Cooper, of Bellaire, and
were held to court in the sum of 1880
each, and were lodged in the county
Jail on Saturday by Marshal Burke. who
is being congratulated on all sides for
his bravery.
A thorough search was made of the
prisoners by Jailer Colby when they
were brought here Saturday, one of the
prisoners complaining that they had
just been searched at Bellaire. The
search brought forth steel saw, such
as are used by jail-breakers, sewed up in
the fly of the pants of one of the men,
and Il sum of money sewed up in their
clothes. They are considered safe at
present. although they are doubtless old
offenders and up to all Jail breaking
tricks.
Marshal Burke received a postal from
kittanning, Pa, giving q description Of
three men want ed at that point, tallying
with these men in all psints. They are
wanted there for burglary, under the
names of Dan. Mitchell, Sol. S. Haines
and George Haines, and a reward
of 800 is offered for their Cap
ture, W hich belongs to Marshal Burke
beyond a doubt. The Prosecutor writes
to know if they can have the men if
Ihey come with requisitiOn.

THE commissioners of Harrison coun-
ty at a meeting held on Tuesday of last
week, or complaint of some of those
interested, decided on re-assessment on
the Cadz & Harrisville and Cadiz &
UDionvale pixies. They also decided to
disapprove the contract let on the latter
named road R. L. Timmons, contrac-
tor, through his attorneys, Immediately
notified them that motion would be
made in the supreme court on May Goth,
asking for mandamus to compel the
commissioners to approve the contract
made. 1t is thought the action will not
affect the building Of the pixies other
than by delaying the same.

) THE Cambridge jeff SAYS: "The pas-
senger trains on the B.. Z. & C. railroad
are fayorites with sportsmen. They stop
at convenient points and permit the pas
sengers to hunt and fish. This may not
be what the man in hurry wants, bnt
it suits the boys. On Tuesday the train
stopped near Sarahsville to let the pas+
sengers out for race after a squirrel
that was seen on neighboring tree.
After chasing it for some time without
success. the passengers sent the peanut
boy up the tree to catch it. A limb of
the tree broke, and the boy fell to the
ground, breaking his leg. The squirrel
escaped"
