A STRINGENT HOG LAW
Adopted by the Board of Commissioners to
Go Into Eject February i, 1885.

Adopted by the Board Of Commissioners to
Go Into Eject February /, 1885.
Yesterday afternoon the hog question was
again brought before the Board Of County
Commissioners by long petition, Attor-
ney A. ]. Clarke representing the petition
ers and Judge Houston those against such
. law. The petition, signed by 293 farmers,
asked tie Board to put in force the act Of
lie Legislature approved April l, 1873, en-
titled Gan act making it unlawful for hogs
to run at large in the county Of Harrison,
and comforting the power upon the county
courts to prevent hogs from running at
large in any county or district thereof and
rendering and making owners liable for
injury done to personal and real property by
others" A counter petition signed by 80
persons was also read.
Nr. Maxwell moved that the Board grant
the prayers of the petitioners and put the
|. W into effect.
Mr. Delbrugge moved that the attorneys
on both sides be heard, allowing each 10
minutes to speakln. This was adopted
ard Judge Houston took the floor, stating,
while his constituents were in favor also OF
a hog law, they were by no means willing
to accept this one. That the other side had
presented long list Of names and that
the counter petition would also have as
many names had the investigators
known that the question would be brought
before the board at this meeting. In clos
ing his remarks the Judge asked that the
board postpone action until the regular
meeting day, the first Monday in January.
Mr.. Clarke, in rebuttal, stated that the
Judge and his constituents had had abun-
dance of time, about three weeks, in which
to secure signers and he thought the matter
ought to be acted on at once. Mr.. Robert
NJ Bonar, one of the leaders in the
petition to enforce the law, made q
very strong speech in favor of the imme'
date action OF the body on this law. That
gentleman's position was strengthened.by
Mr.. Maxwell, who said he had notified a
number of persons who were not in favor OF
the law TO present their remonstrance.
Mr.. Delbrugge wanted the matter laid
over until the regular meeting day, as he
did not believe there was any need Of so
much haste in the premises and made a
motion to that effect, which was lost by a
vote of six to three. The original motion,
by Mr.. Maxwell, to grant prayers of petit
tiods was carried by the same vote six to
three. On motion of Mr.. Boring the law
goes into effect on and after the lst day Of
next February.

Tint Happy Eight Ball.

A REGISTER reporter yesterday instituted
a careful inquiry as to the general conduct
of the ball given by the Happy Eight Social
Club at Arion Hall Christmas eve, and to
the causes which led to a disturbance.
1t appears that this society, which has
heretofore won golden opinions for the ex
cellence Of It's entertainments, has been
made the victim of conspiracy to rob it Of
it's well-merited honors. 1t appears also
that mob of "hoodlums" went to Arion
Hall Christmas eve with secret under.
standing to raise row aid make them
selves generally disagreeable. They were
extremely cunning in the execution of their
mean work, taking advantage Of the ab-
scnce from the ball room of officers Barum
and Reed and the floor managers, who
were at the time partaking OF refreshments
in he rerectory-to do their dirty work
The disturbance was of short Iteration, for
the officers arrived promptly on the spot
and summarily elected the malefactors
Fl om the building.
The REGISTER takes pleasure in making
the above explanation as an act of justice
10 the young gentlemen that compose the
Happy Eight social club. Hereafter, the
REGISTER will keep careful eye on GER
tain class of blackguards that make prac-
tice Of disturbing peaceable assemblies, and
will try to make it extremely hot for them.

ALONG THE SHORE.
What Is Being Done Oh the Ohio
River

What is Being Done Oh the Ohio
The steamboatmen are at present some
what encouraged. 1t is thought that if the
present thaw continues it will give another
opportunity TO get the coal in the pools
above Pittsburgh to The Southern markets.
The trouble has been in getting back the
towboats bringing up empty barges, owing
to the river being full of running ice. The
heavy ice has been coming from the Mo-
nopgahela and Allegheny rivers, prirc;.
pally the latter. The ice in the Ksnawha
is thin. The breakup IS said to be gen.
eral, while heavy rains have been falling in
many places If the warm weather holds
cut sufficient stage Of water is expected to
let out everything that is loaded at Pitts
burgh. In case this should occur the run
will be large one. The demand for coal
is sill strong at lower river points, though
the prices are q trihe weak considering the
circumstances. Some Of the coal that went
out on the first rise has not yet been IN.
loaded, the owners preferring TO wait until
SITTER prices prevail.
A great deal OF trouble was experienced
at Cincinnati on Saturday by the ice, and
one Of the Hornets barges got away, but it
was captured by the Charlie Clark. At
Cairo the barge Gilmore No. 3, in Cray

FULTON IN ARMS.
A Vigilance Committee Now on
Guard.
After Driving Suspicious Characters Out
at the MuzzIes of Guns, Picket is
Set at Each End.

The town of Fulton was stirred up, last
night, as never it was before and all night
was under guard by Vigilance Commit
tee. The Fultonese deeming the law eth
er negligent or incapable, have taken mat
tiers into their own hands and are deter.
mined that in the lawless round Of burglary
and outrage they shall be exempt. Yester-
day afternoon, the attention of several citi-
Gems was arrested by the sight of six suspi-
cious and unknown characters, information
OF whose presence was quickly spread
through town. About o'clock it was dis
covered that valuable watch dog at
Charles Kraft's had been poisoned and the
conclusion was at once reached that bur
glars had done it, preliminary to burglariz-
ing the house. This idea rapidly spread
and about 8 O'Clock meeting was held and
Vigilance Committee formed. Every man
present, including nearly every citizen ofths
town, enrolled himself and picket guard
was chosen and armed.
The guard started out and visited every
saloon and public place. Each stranger
was questioned and inspected and unless he
could give a satisfactory account of him
self, he was notified to leave the town. The
six suspicious characters referred to, were
found in one of the saloons and as nobody
knew or could vouch for them, they were
drummed out. And it was held to be a
significant fact, that instead of coming to
this city, they took the road east.
When the town was considered clear, two
men were put on picket duty at each end,
to keepa close surveillance of every person
entering or leaving. The rest retired to
their homes TO sleep in security.
This information reached here at an early
hour, this morning, and was known to bat
few persons. Among those it created
considerable excitement and no little salts
faction, as they recognized the fact that
Fulton was safe from any Wolkenauer or
MsrliDg outrage.

THE STRIKE OFF.
The Miners Resumed Work Yesterday at
2l-2 Cents.

The Miners Resumed Work Yesterday at
= LIZ Cents.
Secretary Flannery, OF the Miners Union,
Yesterday issued a circular to the river
miners stating that the attempt to make the
present strike on the river general is a fail
ure. He says this after personally visiting
several points on the river, and also says
that the miners at Walton's and several
other places have resolved to resume work
at p cents IS soon as loading arrives.
This practically ends the strike, and the
announcement will be no surprise to read
els of the Times, as from day to day true
accounts OF the course of events on the
river have been published in this paper.
These accounts have all tended to prove
that the miners, from various causes, have
never been unconscious on the matter.
The alarming amount Of poverty among the
miners has more than any other thing con-
tributed to the speedy failure of the effort to
demand reasonable advance of extremely
low wages-Pittsburg Times.

An interesting Police Version.

In regard to the matter o. tracks, the DO
hce officers say are willing to swear they
cannot be mistaken. They say they noticed
the individual tracks carefully and familiar
lied themselves with them. One was eyi-
IDENTIFY made with shoe much run DOM on
one side, which made peculiar impression
in the snow. This impression ended on the
ferry host-went on aud did not come of.
One of tie tracks leading down the track
had the impression of hobnsils and which
evidently VAS made BY man not with the
four men who had been traced
The police slsO note singular fact at the
ferry landing. The ferryman said one man
had come on the float, while the tracks
showed four men had gone. The ferryman
was up and dressed and had a good FIRE GO
ing and the officers thought be looked as
though he had been up for some time.
Altogether, there are some curious facts,
ss well as discrepancies connected with the
case and detective win find is-an interest
study.
