sports afforded at the Garden.

The party which came mp with the Dur
nal last night kept up loud disturbance

New Acquisition.
The Riverside Iron Works yesterday re

which were shipped to Benwood, where they
will be used in the steel plant to transfer

furnaces before being cooled, thus render
ing the process of heating much easier and
requiring a less number of men tc do the
work.

Bad Men.
The Steubenville Gazette says: The
early Panhandle train yesterday morning
left off curious group at the depot. Two
decrepid men, evidently over sixty years Of
age, clothed with garments made before the
war, were hsndcuffed securely together and
were accompanied by four stalwart men
who guarded them with the utmost vigilance
At every move of the old men the guards
would rush around and place their hands
upon their hip pockets where they had
monster revolvers. Upon investigation it
was found that the party was from
Monroe county, W. Va, and that
the old men had broken into a smoke
house, taking ham apiece, and were con-
victed of burglary and sentenced to two |
years in the Moundsville Penitentiary. The
party had come from West Virginia by way
of Gallipolis and Columbus, o., and would
reach Moundsville by way of Steubenville
and Wheeling making three sides of a
square when they could have come direct.
1t was evidently a 'junketing" tour, as the
guard consisted of the Sheriff, Judge, Mar
shall and Prosecuting Attorney, and all were
having good time. One of our policemen
who was at the depot asked the Judge why |
they didn't bring the jury with them. as the |
men were evidently desperadoes.
