MARTINS FERRY.

Yesterday afternoon three small boys
tried to swim across from the cooper shop
to the Island, and while so doing two Of
them, one named Shipman and the other
Cox, became exhausted and would have
drowned had it no, been for the timely as.
sistance Of Flipp Reed and two companions
in a skif
Yesterday afternoon Carl Seabright, a
carpenter employed by C. S. Moore, on the
new Commercial Block, made miss HEX
with loot adj and cut cash three inches
in length in his leg above the knee. He
vas cutting q stick OF timber on q pair Of
uesiles when the tool slipped in his hands
and cut him as above stated. He had the
wound sewed up but will probably be laid
up o week or two.
Yesterday afternoon the 7. c. base oall
club went to Bellai.e to play bah. Yester'
day evening they came home. But during
the interval which they spent in Bellaire a
very interesting and pitifully one-side game
Of base ball was played between them and
picked nine of the Globessnd Browns of the
latter town. The game started under
the ncst favorable circumstances,
neltQ6r EiuD huhluB iuu
in the first inning. Ia the second the play.
ing was none the less encouraging, each
club making one run. In the third insing
il seemed that the Bellsire clubs best bat
tiers aud Martins Ferry s worst came to the
home plate, the former to make three base
hits and the latter to 90 to grass. at
the end of the third inning The
scors stood Q to in favor Of Bellaire.
This apparently "Tattled" the I. C.'s, as
they did no more good during the entire
game. After the fourth inning your re-
porter left, disgustei, not with Dur boys
disability, but at the Bellaire boys supe!i
ority. When they came home last night
they were honest enought to confess
a defest by ssore of 46 to 4.
They were all in good humor, felt satisfied
with the result and had great fun pleguing
the fieldc7s about ridingthe cows that were
pssturing on the grounds when they went
after the 9ellaire flies.
On Friday night maa named William
