Muehee Madee.
A war Of words occurred in Wah Lees
laundry last night and large crowd was
attracted by the jargon INDUCED in BY the
mad Mongolians. They had it hot and
heavy for q time, and their rapid msnipula-
ton of the Chinese language would have
paralyzed the brain and outrun the pencil
of Celestial shorthand writer. As 1t
was, the crowd enjoyed it immensely, al
though they could not understand a word.
or on an Excursion.

Narrow Escape.
A young man was driving his horse, at
tachtd to buggy up Chapine street at q
rather rapid pace yesterday and almost ser
iously Injured Miss Emma Hubbard, who
was crossing the street. The lady is blind
and the Young man was driving so rapidly
that he could not check the animal in time
to avoid striking the lady, and although she
was not much hurt, she had a narrow es-
cape from serious injury. Fast driving
should not be tolerated on the public
Ut eets.
The Race Tonight.
The race between Blskeney, the cham
pion five mile skater, and lid Shuttleworth,
of Bellaire occurs to night at the Chspline
street rink, and will be witnessed by an
immense crowd composed of Bellaire, Mar
tins Ferry and Wheeling people. This
will be one of the most exciting races ever
witnessed in this section, as Mr.. Blakeney
gives Shuttleworth a lap in each OF the
three miles, which will make the contest
decidedly close.
She Wasn't Such Dandy.
Mr.. Lee Wells went down to Grafton
Wednesday evening to run his new engine
to Wheeling. He was badly disappointed
on his arrival, however, for he supposed the
engine would be q dandy, but she turns out
with FIVE wheels on one side and only four
on the other. He says he don t know
whether she will stay on tie track or not
but is willing to try her. The B. & 0. boys
look for him to arrive about July Sd, con-
sidering the stage of the water.
An Official Surprised.
Wednesday evening a large number Of
young gentlemen, many Of whom are prom
inent as vocalists, surprised Capt. Smith
Chief of Police, at his residence on the
South Side, and the result was very jolly
evening, music forming specially OF the
festive occasion. Before the guests took
their leave the hest and his estimable wife
dispensed refreshments appropriated to the
occasion, and when they had been partaken
of the party separated with many express
sions Of pleasure and satisfaction.
He Takes Hand at society.
Our river reporter being unoccupied on
account Of the low stage of water, he. was
put on to the track of o society item. BE
turned up yesterday with big head and
the following elaborate account ofthe affair:
A party of young ladies from the South
Side, penetrated their way through the
moonlight last evening to the residence OF q
well known gentleman, where some fine
music was awaiting their coming, when
they shook their hooks until about o'clock
a. M, when they all departed to get some
fresh beer, as it were.
The County Line Survey.
The Joint commission engaged in the run.
ming of the county line between this county
and Marshall have completed about one
half the work assigned them. Wednesday
night the party reached Wheeling creek,
near the banks of which they found
one of the original marks - q
tree, forming the nine-mile post
from the Pennsylvania line. A gentleman
who went over the line with a surveying
party in 1913, says the work is vastly more
difficult now than it was then. At that
time the country was mostly covered with
heavy woods, but was open below, allowing
free use of instruments. Now, the trees
are mostly gone, and the land along the line
is grown up with mass of brush and
bushes, through which the present party has
to literally cut a way.
The work will hardly be finished before
