4 HAT BOOM.

Caused by Paying Bets on the Election by
States and the General Result.
Wheeling, as well as other hatters are
having a boom in their business. 1t is
caused directly by the popular custom 81
betting hats on the election. AT Main
street store the writer was told that every
campaign there is notable increase IN
their business. This year already three or
four dozen hats have been seld on the re-
suit of the election in Indiana, Ohio and
Connecticut. Orders for hats on the gen.
eral election and New York have also been
placed 20 large extent, and most of them
were given up yesterday. At one store as
many as thirty hats have been sold wlthin
the past week alone on election bets, and
several parties have told the merchant they
will be for others on Monday, One man
has dozen hats up in bets. A certain
halter said there has been very noticeable
increase in his trade within the past
few weeks. By Monday many bets will be
decided and he is getting his stock ready
for the demand. Several other merchants
we're interviewed and without exception
they reported the same state Of affairs.
Persons interested in bets usually buy good
hats, the average being - tiles. An at
tempt was made to ascertain when and how
the practice of betting hats on elections
came into vogue. Prominent men con.
fcssed their inability to throw any light on
the question and until some enterprising
historian rakes up from the antiquity Of
!org-vanished past the first hat bet, an IN
rcnigent people will be grouping in the
gloom Of the ignorance.

GAS WELL.

At the In Belle Mill-How the Work is
Progressing.
For some time past the men engaged In
sinking the we'll at the La Belle mill for
gas have experienced great many draw,
backs. In the first place the large veins Of
salt water iuterfered with them and the
work of sinking had to be discontinued Ut
til the we'll could be cased A Resmer had
TO be used before the casing could be low

times which caused the men great trouble
to loosen. Last week they found that the
well would have 10 be caSed eleven hun
bred feet the depth reached with the drill
being nearly twelve hundred feet A Reamer
was put to work but did not do the work as
uiiceis as the men wished it and they were
compelled 10 send 10 Pittsburgh for q sub.
stitute. Another great trouble was that in
the last few feet sunk the hole was flat,
that is the hole was not round, and the sue
stitute will have to adjust that portion also
Speaking with the gentleman in contro!
last week he said: The well will be sunk
somewhere between 1000 and $500 fee
tos gas, and if it is not reached at that

But Apoplexy- End of Bellaire sensa-
ton.
Yesterday rumor Of q murder at Bellare
ran all over the city. 1t turned on! as fol-
lows, our Bellaiye correspondent furnishing
the account:
Yesterday morning yrung chap named
Mansel found the dead body OF Jacob Gels
Ter, the gardener just south OF the mill
cooper shop. 1t is no: known how he came
TO be there, as he was last seen by Louis
Long, the street commissioner, on his way
home by another route. His body when
discovered was lying over small bank on
which there is a path leading to the Bellaire
nail works. Ii was soon known over
town that man had been
found with his neck broken,
and a large crowd gathered around
The unfortunate man. The body was car
red to the dead mans home, where 1t was
taken charge OF by his wife. An examina-
ZION of the body by the coroner before the
arrival of the physicians showed no marks
of violence. Everybody is puzzled to know
what took Mr.. Geisler down to the commons
when it was better to 60 home by way Of
Noble street Nothing was taken from his
peison and it is safe to presume that the
Coroner has given about the right cause OF
his death. 1t is this, That Jacob Geisler
came TO his death from spoplexy. The
funeral will take place from his late resi-
dence TODAY at 2 p. m.

were never witnessed In the town. They
marched, marched and marched and sang
and followed and Gid everything else.
Some were uniformed and some were not,
but every marcher was painted red in some
way. The procession was headed by
large drum corps with Howard Deitch drum

marshal. The marchers burned red fire and
displayed fireworks, carried torches, umbrel.

Jurisdiction on the Ohio Riyer---1he Old
Fair Grounds Sale case---Sesen
Interesting Opinions

An opinion was rendered in the Supreme
Court Of Appeals yesterday, holding that
West Virginia has jurisdiction on the waters
of the Ohio, within the limits Of the State,
so long as the river is within its banks.
A NJ Plants was arrested for selkng hq-
uor without license on boat moved to
the Ohio shore, opposite Ravenswood' IN
Jackson county. The water was at very
high Stage, but still within its banks. The
boat was afoat but tied 70 the Ohio shore
and on it Plants was running bar. de
was arrested BY officers from Ravens
wood and committed to Jail for
hearing. He applied for writ OF
habeas corpus, claiming West Virginia had
no iulisdiction, as the offense if one was
committed, was in Ohio. Judge Smith re.
fused the writ, holding West Virginia had
jurisdiction.
Plants appealed to the Supreme Court
and decision was rendered, yesterday,
against him. The Court held, Johnson,
President, delivering the opinion, that the
State of West Virginia has jurisdiction OF
all offenses committed on the Ohio river,
while the river is within its banks, no mat
ter ifthe offender is in boat tied TO the
shore
This opinion upsets tho idea that West
Virginia has jurisdiction only to low water
mark on the Ohio shore.
