SHOT IN THE BACK,
I've Wheeling Men Quarrel at a
Marietta Hotel
And BediIliOn Shoots Orr in the Back,
Business Difficulty and Not WO-
man, the Cause.

Yesterday afternoon the city was full OF
vague rumors to the effect that Wheeling
man by the name of BedilEon had killed
another Wheeling man named Orr at Mari
eta yesterday morning. A thorough search
about the city failed to discover much, until
later in the day dispatch came from there
announcing that H. +. Bedillion was in Jail
charged with shooting Charles Orr. Bedil-
lion travels for the New Era wrirger
company and Orr is from Ohio, and the
first report was that they had quar-
relied about woman. Several private dis
patches came and went between here and
Marietta, but their exact contents would not
be diyulged. 1t leaked out, however, that
Orr had some Ohio territory upon which he
charged Bedilion with infringing. A quar-
rel ensued, in which Bedillion shot Orr in
the shoulder, inficting painful flesh
wound. Bedilion was jailed to answer a
charge. 1t is reported he was married at
Parkersburg last Sunday.
La st night the following dispatch came
to the REGISTER from the Marietta Times ::
Shortly before noon to-day Charles Orr
and H. E. BedilEon, employed in selling
the New Fra clothes wringer here, had a
difficulty at the Mott House over business
transaction, which resulted in Bedillion
drawing revolver and firing twice at Orr.
The last shot struck him in the back, below
the shoulder blade Dr. Eddy was called,
and after examining the wound pronounced
it not dangerous. Orr is from Calcutta,
Columbiana county, and unmarried. Be-
dillon was arrested and taken to the
cooler, charged with shooting with intenttO

A NATURAL GAS BOOM
just over Our Eastern Border-whore
Are WEI

just Over Our Eastern Border-Where
I Are Wet
Washington county, Pa, just over our
eastern border, seems prolific Of natural
gas. Yesterday morning q large flow of
gas was struck on the Squire Miller farm
near Hickory, at depth of about eleven
hundred feet The well was drilled by Mr..
: Gibson, for the Niagara OIL Company and
it is the intention Of the parties to sink the
well to q greater depth. The flow is esti-
mated to be about two-thirds as large as
that at the Hess well nearby. The
Hickory region seems to be the
most prolific Of natural gas in the
country so far as is yet known.
Within distance of about two miles there
are the McGugin we'll producing the largest
flow of gas found anywhere and the Emory
well. which is equal to any in other regions
and now the Miller well which,if permanent,
is nearly equal to the largest in other
places. The Hess we'll continues to furn
ish the purest gas yet discovered. Certain
manufactures, where large amount OF
heat is needed, must move into the gas belt
as it alone can furnish cheap fuel, and in a
short tine this region will be dotted with
establishments of this kind.
Waynesburg is now DESTROYS of getting
gas and will probable make an effort in
The near future. Wheeling wants it too,
but there seems little probability of our get
ting it. The only companies that give
Wheeling any encouragement are mono
poles that the people will not tolerate

Hundreds Of Island people who suffered
from the flood will always remember him
with feelings of profoundest gratitude, tor
the generous aid he rendered them during
that hour. of danger. Yesterday they re-
membered him very substantially and ap-
propriately. He was conducted to Major
Aldersons office, where he found himself
in a group of gentlemen, and wondered
what could be the cause. Major Anderson
stepped forward, and in the names of his
friends presented him with a magnificent

silence was eloquent, -,
The watch is an elegant Elgin, ordered

TIN HORNS MUST GO.

20 Say the Committee on Police---The
Ordinance to be Enforced.
Last evening, the Committee on Police
met and after transacting their regular
monthly business decided that the tin horns
used by the young men during a political
procession were nuisance. They adopted
resolution to that effect and also requested
he Chief of Pnlice to strictly enforce the
city ordinance. This is certainly a COM
mendable act, the tin horns make so much
noise that it is impossible to even hear the
music of brass band marching in a pro-
cession. During the ratification meeting
of the Democracy, on hearing the news
from the convention, of the nomination Of
Cleveland and Hendricks, large crowd of
dude Republicans stood around the outer
edge of the throng and blew tin horns and
yelled at the top Of their voices for Blaine
We would make this suggestion to Capt
Bennett, while he is enforcing one ordi-
nance, would it not be consistent to also
arrest all disturbers of gatherings?
