against brakeman on the C. 4 P. railroad
last Friday evening. Marshal Hanson had
watched the Jail every night until last night,
since he was arrested, and becoming entire
ly worn out went home and to bed. Their
methods were the same old fashioned ONES
used in times gone by when other prisoners
have been released. They removed the
bricks under one OF the windows until an
opening large enough to admit 0 mans
body was made, and with q bar broke
off the lock on the cell door and allowed
him to breathe the pure free air Of the
city's back yard" 1t seems rather bad thst
he should escape, but if be has LETT the
State and will never come back, our people
may congratulate themselves.
Yesterday afternoon at about four o'clock
an accident resulting from csrelessness oc-
CURED, which will unfortunately cost Larry
Doyle one of his eyes. Doyle and man
named Walter Meechem were fooGng with
a gun in very careless way when it was
discharged, FIVE shot taking effect in Doyles
eye The accident occurred at the resi-
dence Of Meechem, on Tenth street between
Hanover and Walnut. DIR. Hobensack was
called and upon examination concluded
that, since Doyle is troubled with heart dis
ease and is very nervous, he would wait till
he had overcome his shock before he dress
ed the wound permanently, but enough was
seen TO ascertain that he would surely loose
his eye and that he vas torianAte 10 escape
with his life.
For the sake Of doing justice to james
Mcdonald, conductor on the Martins Ferry
pony" we will say and are willing TO quail
fy that he did not give the item concerning
the Laughliu mills sales, which appeared in
yesterday mornings paper.
Charles Doyle was Sned dollar and costs
yesterday morning by His Honor Mayor
Mitchell.
The Good Templars have rented Walnut
Grove for July 4th and will hold picnic.
Jacob Arm snd William Moore have the
contract for building the three story busi.
ness block for f, c. Boyd on Hanover
street.
William Rainey, of Cleveland was taken
sick while here attending the funeral Of his
sister, Mrs J. W. Buckingham, and is lying
in that condition al the residence OF Thomas
Johns on Third street.
A very pleasant party was given at the
residence OF Levi Barnes, on Pleasant Ridge,

cellent time.
On Thursday night Rev. Holtz tied a
knot which makes Ellsworth Morris and Miss
Priscilla Boegs one. After the knot wa
tied they went to Mrs. Galatians boarding
house, where they were serenaded until Su
early hour yesterday morning.
I'VE have met the enemy and they are
ours. Barnesville for strawberries butter
milk and flowers, but old Bellsire with her
toll and care has got skater they canno'
scare.
The above appeared in the Bellsire
column of the REGISTER few days since
and looked very nice. We have no doub,
that the Bellaire people read it and fell
proud of their own little It'd, as they
have perfect right 20. A few inches far
ther down the ,ame column, the expression
ia made that Shuttleworth has BY this race
won the championship medal Of Belmont
county. We will not say he did not win the
championship medal but did he win the
cham pionship? 1t strikes us hat he has @
Martins Ferry boy 10 beat before he can
properly style himself the champion Of thin
| county. We remember race once in which
| Shutteworth was interested, and also John
Dobbins, OF Martins Ferry. We also re
member Of It'd taking ten feet Of an un
fair start on our man. and even then having
to leave the race on the tenth round, but a.
We did not intend to say anything uncompli
mentary OF the championship medal
holder, simply wishing to remind him and
his hackers that we had
skater up here in the busy and
toilsome city Of Martins Ferry, who would
be very much pleased to meet little It'd
in a race on the dizzy rollers. That man't
name is Dobbins, John Dobbins, and he and
his brother can be seen at the Sherman
House at any time that will suit the pleasure
of Sbut,leworths friends He does not nsA
to share the gate money, but has SeH
dollars to put up in a fair and square way
In Thursdays REGISTER the following
item from Bellaire appeared:
Some Of the Martins Ferry boys in at
tendance at the Niagara rink on Tuesday
night tried to carry off several pairs o'
skates"
Now If this be true, the managers Of the
above named riak know who the boys are
and will do great favor for the Martin,
Ferry Polo Club by telling them who they
are The managers OF this rink are oil
Martins Ferry men, two Of them having
| been raised from childhood in our midst
ard we are positive that some member oI
he mana cement OF the rink knows every
| one who was there from Martins Ferry. j
| any thieves got mixed in with the young
ruen, who went down there to play polo, thf
managers should have had them arrested
ard not laid the whole club liable 10 cen
.ure and suspicion BY having such a
thing put into the paper. We re
| member that once crowd o
Martins Ferry young gentlemen and ladies
went down 10 visit the Niagara rink and th.
hoodlums land they must all be hoodlums
for some OF their best society was assisting
called out rats" and similar epithets wher
Martins Ferry lady and gentleman ls;
the grand march. We could cite seyera
other instances Of Belaire peoples goo
breeding, including the affair at the Excel
,ior rink the time the Martins Ferry boy
played the Niagara club, but il is not neces
sary. We only ask the manager Of the NJ
agara rink to tell the Martins Ferry pol
club who stole the skates. Bellaire ha
some good people, we knew, but we will no
include their sports and rink men till the.
have better manners and become too high
minded to take such mean way Of yentinj
Their spleen as they have taken in the item
referred to above.
