ANOTHER VICTORY.
OUR BOYS DO UP THE STEUBENVILLE CLUB
IN GREAT SHAPE,
Scoring Seven Runs 10 tho Visitors Thrss-fht
Next Games to be on the lsth
and 10Th InStS

The home team did up the Steubenyilles
Yesterday in good shape, getting twelve
hits to their four, and having only three
errors to their seven. Speidel's work at
bat was immense, being credited with two
single hits and two double baggers. Joe
Dudley also got single and double bag
ger at critical moments. The field work
of the home team was great all around,
and Nichols two difficult catches at mid
die field deserve particular mention. Wat
sons work in the box was the best seen
here this season, and was only marred by
his wildness at men getting first on balls
and on being struck with ball. Steuben-
Vile broke the ice and scored in the first
inning, Dunn getting first on balls and
was thrown out st second on Wes.lake' s
hit, Westlake getting first. Westlake stole
second and scored on Darrah's two
base hit. The visitors added no more
scores until the seventh inning, when base
on balls and O'Bright's missed fly yielded
two rms The home nine started their
run getting in the second inning, when an
error by short and hits by Watson and
Speidel brought in two runs. They again
scored two runs in the fourth inning on
Dudley's single, Speidel's double and a
bad throw by Hutchinson. They again
piled up two more in the fifth inning, on
base on balls Dudley's two Dagger and q
miss fly by Barrett. The final run was
made in the last inning on hits by Wright
and Upright and n bad throw by Hutch
inson. Jack Glasscock was on the grounds

a Tale of n Trunk.

Yesterday morning a farmer who had
been stopping day or two Mt one of the
hotels concluded to leave on the early train
for home, and calling on colored man, he
bargained with him to carry his trunk to
the depot. In due time the granger re-
paired to the depot, only to find that his
baggage had not put in an appearance.
Realizing that he had been done up, the
stranger complained to the police, and from
the description of the party, Officer Jim
Bell concluded that the trunk might be
found ut the residence of certain colOred
woman in the Second ward. A search re
vealed the baggage, and the countryman
went on his way rejoicing at his good luck.

Hit by a Falling Tree.

About 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon a
rather remarkable accident occurred on the
line ofwheeling creek, just beyond Elm
Grove, which resulted in the instant
death of q horse and the probable fatal
wounding of a well-known lady. At the
hour named Mrs. Henry Reuter-, whose
farm runs down to the creek, took horse
by the bride and started to the creek &c
water the animal. Reaching the edge OF
the shallow stream Mrs. Reuter- paused be
meath the branches of a large tree, holding
the horse by the bride, While standing
there the tree suddenly fell, the heavy
trunk striking the lady and animal, carry
ing both of them to the earth with it. The
accident WAS observed, and soon several
persons were on hand to rescue the unior-
tunate lady. The horse WAS found to be
dead, while Mrs. Reuter- was suffering IN
tense agony from wounds and broken
bones. She was removed to her residence,
where, last night, she was reported to be
in a critical condition. MIS-. Reuters
family once kept dairy on Bogg'S run,
and is well known in the lower portion OF
the city.

TIE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Taxpayers of Ohio County, Look at teSc
Figures!

To The Editor u TIC Register:
SIE--Mr. Robt. Woods, Clerk of the Bard
of County Commissioners, submits cry
important paper to the voters OF 'hi0
county, i'll the morning papers OF yeter-
day. All taxpayers should read this pa
per, and vote accordingly. Here they're:
Washington district, 81, ssG.79; coal, 81
10; total, $l,0445O. These are trelen-
dous figures, taxpayers of Washington
district. An account of .stewardhip
should be demanded OF the commissioners.
MadisOn-ThiS district has been well nan
aged by Mr.. Prince-Only S737. The.aX-
payers will do well to rGurn
Mr.. Prince to the new Board. Clay
district, one of the wealthiest in
the county, shows immense figures.
Here they are: $3.50 (l2O loads OF
coal. One grocery and coal syndicate ]
suppose, was the beneficiary of this wonder
tut outlay of the peoples money. The t;N-
payers should ask the present official ten
ant to surrender his lease of official Iatrm-
age. Old Union, under the managemento OF
OLD, Uncle John Boring, according to the pop
ulatiQn and resources, shows good record
in behalf of Uncle John, and gives him a
good send off for denomination and re-
election. See the figures, 81, 1865. Mr..
Boring should 10 indorsed by the people OF
Union district without opposition. He HIS
made good record for himself as man
Der of the present Board.
Center District has large figures, 81 ,31O.l6,
This il small district, but these alc large
figures and shows that Mr.. Delbrugge has
been somewhat lavish in county orders.
Webster district far exceeds any of the dis
trictS being 1892. 81, equal almost to
Union, Madison and Triadelphia districts,
Can the p0Lers Of Webster say of Mr.. Pick
cit: Well done thou good and faithful ser
want? Simply immense! Too many county
orders, Jonas
Richie has been better managed, footing
up only 81, 23S75. Richie is large dis
trict with great many poor in il. Adam
has done well with crippled limbl -
The country members have all managed
their districts we'll, and the Taxpayers
should appreciate the services iq thepropeI
way. Stein has been lavish, Prince has
been economically Peterson has been lavish
and patronized syndicate; Boring Ia:
been just and economical both; Dclbrugge
too many orders; Picket, out Of all reason
StOker, reasonable; and the members o
the country districts have been Sparing il
their distribution of county orders. Now
let the taNhayaES say who should be re
turned to the next Board.

4 Washington County Girl cured Oh Soh-

The East Bethlehem correspondent oil
the Washington Reporter relates the fol-
lowing account of faith cure which has
created some excitement there:
We have demonstration of the faith
curesdoctrine in our village. Miss Ella
Jones has been suffering with consumption
for some time. She believed she could
exercise faith in her Heavenly Father SUI
ficcnt to be cured. Consequently she
opened correspondence with some OF
the noted agitators of the doctrine,
and also requested her friends and
ncighbors to pray for her. A time was set
when they in unison would pray the Father
of all our mcrcics, in her behalf, and on
August 9TH, at the hour appointed, she felt
peculiar sensation in her lungs, and told
her friends that she was cured. Although
she is weak, she at this time feels well, and
thinks she will be restored to her usual
health We hope she may entirely recover
The case is certainly n remarkable one.

The Latest Developments on the Ohio

Each day brings forth new cOmplic;I-

most unexpected. Yesterdays paper call
ed the c. 4 p. cOmpany's structure at

knew any better. But there is quite his
tory connected with the building in qucS-

of making ct odd times plans and Speclil-

allowed to make the drawings call for what

his spare time on the plans, ami few
weeks ago presented to the officers, the
outlines iOr the finest passenger station ON
the Pennsylvania company : lines. Work
was lust about to be commenced on the
new structure ut Rayenna when the present
trouble ut Bridgeport commenced, The
{. < p. people hay { TOR several years past,
contemplated the erection Of a building
there for the storage OF local freight,
the present facilities being en-
irely inadequate. When they fOHnd that
the piece of ground on the river bank had
| to be occupied, there was no more plauSl-
| BILE means offered than to build either To-
cal freight or passenger station on the
ground. The site WA not practicable for
| a freight station, for the reason that wagons
| could not drive 10 il in either receiving or
diseharging freight, ~ it was concluded to
| build a new passenger station and transform
| the old passenger depot into local freight
house. There not being time to prepare Il
new set of drawings, MIR. Lintons
drawings for the Ravenna station were
transferred to Bridgeport, and work COM
meneed at once. Sand and cement arrived
yesterday to be used in building river
