TWO BLOODY FIGHTS.
Several Men Laid. Out in Street
0uarrels.
A Sangrinay Conflict in Restaurant in
Which Six Men Engaged "A
.eMilder Row Below the
Greek.

About three o'clock this morning terri
fc fight occurred at the Peoples restaurant
on Twelfth street and was carried to the
street. As nearly as could be learned,
II occurred as follows: The men went into
the restaurant and ordered supper. Two
more followed them, the latter being some
what drunk. The first two objected to
The presence of the latter and offered the
waiter the price Of their suPPers to put
them out. This he refused TO do and the
war of words between the two pair grew
fierce and furious. Finally the last
corners went ont. saving they would
not stand it. In the meantime sup
per had been put on the table
f,r the first men, but they never got to eat
il. Tie two who had gone out, returned
with two re-inforcementS and the four rush
ed into the eating house and began sud
den onslaught on the eaters. But they
woke up the wrong men. One
of them seized castor and
dealt such crashing blow on the forehead
of the foremost assaiant, putting him hors
du combat, with tr1ghtiul gash IN MS
head The other let out with his
left and a sent second to grass.
Then plates few about and the fight be-
came general. Out on the street they got,
when John Murdoch came along and at the
sight of him, they ran into the alley and
then south, back of the REGISTER office;
Here they were intercepted by Officers Bird
and Laughlin, each of whom caught
man and the rest escaped. The
man with the cracked crown was
gotten out of the road and taken 10 doc
tors, by friends. The men arrested are
John Alexander and John Mulvey; the
former has badly bruised face and the lat,
ter was dirty, bloody and badly disfgured
generally. The participants are believed to
be known and will all be arrested to-day.

4 False Alarm of Fire Turned i'm Last
Evemng by an Unknown Party.
Last evening Just as the. Capitol clock
was striking the hour Of midnight an alarm
of fire sounded on the Capitol bell. The
taps of the alarm were very distinct and
showed that box q, corner of Alley and
Main street, had been pulled The fire
department responded promptly, and upon
reaching the box could discover no fire.
An examination of the box disclosed the
fact that it was locked up and the key was
gone. Chief Dunning made thorough ex-
animation Of all the boxes and found
them all right. All the hose hous S
received the alarm from box q all right,
which shows conclusively that some person
has in their possession an inside key and
also box key. For the benefit Of our
readers we will state that the fire alarm
boxes are so arranged that when person
opens any box with KEY, he is unable to
take the key out of the lock without the use
ofanother key that releases it by unlocking
an inside lock. There are only two known
inside keys, one is in the possession of Chief
Dunning and the other is in the hlnds Of
the chairman of the Fire Department Com
mittee, Mr.. Hoffman. 1t behooves the city
authorities to look this matter up imme IL

soft Creamy Dresses, Rich with Lace. and
With Court Trains.
Young ladies never pay more attention to
the adornment of their exteriors than when
they are about to appear in graduating uni
forms. White is the popular color or
rather, soft cream, and Miss Taylor has de-
creed that her flock shall always wear court
trains. When trains are we'll set and grace
fully handed, they are beautiful to look at
and as this was the case, last night, the cos
TUNES were things of beauty and joys for
ever. Never, in the recollection of the
writer has a graduating class appeared to
better advantage.
Miss Stone is blonde Of stately proper
tons and looked well in costume of linen
GDCcca, deliberately trimmed with oriental
lace.
Miss Marshall wore handsome dress Of
cream albatross, richly trimmed with lace;
square neck and court train.
Miss Mcdonald, petite brunette, had an
exquisite toilette of cream cashmere, with
Spanish lace. The dress was deliberately
made with square ok and court train.
MISS !lcN lllldUlS huIt u HE uItSS VI
French organdie, with front of pompa-
dour lace The dress was trimmed with
oriental lace.
Miss McGregor Wore combination of
blocaded silk, trimmed with oriental lace
ard ostrich plumes, making a handsome
dress. Her ornaments were diamonds.
Miss Adams dre;s was of cream crepe
cloth, deliberately trimmed with oriental
lace. Diamond or Iaments
Miss Baggs was clad in cream nuns
yelling, with pompaiour lace trimming and
diamond ornaments.
Miss Kendall wore magnificent en-
broidered Swiss dress, trimmed with oriental
lace, making rich, SOFT clinging dress,
fitting the wearer to perfection.
These descriptions will give the reader
some vague idea of the costumes but cannot
begin to express their loneliness.

at the county seat, but at this writing we

A great event, with many people, is a
college commencement, and an interesting
event, with everybody in Wheeling, is the
annual commencement spectacle of the
Wheeling Female College. This spectacle
was presented, last night, with the Opera
House for theatre. The warm night and
tie expectation of crush kept nobody
away, apparently, for the auditorium was
densely crowded. From the stage, one
glanced over sea of faces, peering out of a
tossing surface of waving plumes and fu:-
tering fans. The white and bright colored
dresses and the gay hats and bonnets COM
bined to make beautiful and moving
scene. The view of the stage, from below,
was still more charming. The park scene
was set and when filled in the scene remind
ed one of beautiful lawn fete. Flowers at
the front and sides made pretty lining to
the picture and dozen birds, swung asOund
at intervals lent life and sound to it
The graduating class, eight in number,
sat in a crescent, in the centre of the stage,
their voluminous draperieS occupying con-
siderable space. THIS white spot was re-
leved by a dark background of the prom
inent citizens" always to be found on such
occasions. Most Of them were ministers,
a few were lawyers, some were city officials
and some were boys In body they made
good foil to the beauty in front Of them.
The Faculty, headed by the President, sat
on the south side of the stage and the
Board of Trustees, headed by Chester d.
Hubbard, President occupied the north
end. The latter gentleman announced
the ESSAYS and conferred the degrees. The
Alumni sat on the stage, behind the class,
and the Juniors occupied the orchestra
chairs ust in front of the stage.
The music, which was very fair as far as
selection went, but only tolerable for exc
cution, was furnished by Mayors orchestra.
1t came in between each Of the essays, af-
lording the audience little time to COM
rnent on the performance. The opening
