A BAD Citizen.

A Bad Citizen.
The case at Mt. 0livet, Belmont county,
turns out to be a parallel to the one recently
occurring in this city. P. c. Campbell, the
father of the girl, has left for parts unknown,
and the daughter, who is only fourteen
years of age, thereupon confessed to her
mother that he was the father OF her baby.
The excitement in the village is intense, and
here is talk of lynching Campbell should
he again visit the place.
Arrested. e
Buck Muldoon, who shot George Watson
some time ago in a saloon row, and who
skipped ovor into Ohio, was arrested BY
Officer Develin Yesterday about noon IN the
lection. He will have a hearing before
Judge LETTERS this morning for disorderly
conduct, after which he will probably be
arrested upon a State warrant for shooting
with intent to kill.
IA Glass Question.
There are no new features in regard to
the glass trouble. However, something
will probably be developed after the meeting
ofthe manufacturers, which will likely take
place some time this week, when the propo.
sition adopted by the glassworkers at their
recent meeting will be considered. 1t Is to
be hoped that the manufacturers will accept
the terms offered, or that some compromise
will be made that will start up all the works
in this section again.
A Runaway Girl.
- A woman applied some time ago to police
headquarters for assistance in finding her
daughter, whom she stated had left her,
leaving no clue to her whereabouts. Yes.
terday she came back and stated that she
had discovered where she was, and a police,
man went with her to Urichsville, Ohio,
where the girl was found, evidently in a
house of i'll repute. After earnest solicita'
lions and pleadings on the
part of the mother the
girl was induced to leave, and she and her
mother left for Chicago yesterday after,
noon. The girl was a niece of Julia CHS
nelIs and staid with her aunt previous to
running away. This is the story as far as
could be learned, and the girls name was
not asCertained.
Almost a Fire.
About 9 o'clock last night a son of Vim
Vests, who lives at 1913 Eighteenth street,
detected the odor Of smoke in the house,
proceeding from an upper story. Upon in
~vestigation he found that in the third story
some unknown person had poured oil over
the floor and set fire to it. But luckily it
was discovered in time and the blaze X
tinguished with little damage. The inmates
Of the house are at a loss to account tor the
mysterious proceeding, as some one was in
side allthe time. The only explanation l.
that some william entered the side door and
did the work, which might have resulted il
a disastrous loss Of property, although there
is no clue to the guilty party.
