A Portland, o., Belle Makes a Cir
Gus of Herself.
She Crosses From this City to Martins
Ferry, Gets Drunk and is Escorted
to tie Lookup in an Ex-
press Wagon.

Yesterday morning gushing creature
giving the name OF Belle Williams, and
her residence as Portland, O., struck this
city, at an early hour, and at.
ter a short stay crossed over to Mar
tins Ferry, landing on the Ohio side about
6 o'clock. She ives rather a good looking
woman, aged about tSenty-eight or thirty
years, we'll dressed, carried gold watch
and chain, and altogether seemed to be q
very proper person while on this side OF
the water. No sooner had she struck our
suburban town, however, than she became
demorahzed aud at once took TO loading
her system with beer.
Before she had gotten all the liquor in
town consumed it commenced to get the
best OF her, and she became very offensive
to the citizens in the vicinity of Carly lie
street by her rude actions and the loud talk
she was using in the alley back Of John
Mack's saloon. Two officers, Durtf and
Hanson. came upon the scene while che
was still hilarious and attempted to take
her to Jail. She refused to 90 in most de.
cided terms. but they insisted and at last
when words proved Of no avail, they called
Hyme's rapid transit express and had her
hauled to The lock up, in preference to
carrying or dragging Der through the
street.
When the Bastile WAS reached the fair
Belle was in a rather demoralIzed condi.
top. Her timepiecs was nowhere TO be
seep, but careful search TT last brought
it to light in her stocking. She will BE-
given hearing to day. The Martins Fer.
ry officers claim that Belle has broken the
swearing record, BY coming several new
and picturesque oaths.

consulting over some changes made neees-
gary in the plans OF the Board concerning
street paving. The committee had the Or
dinance fixing the appropriations ell ready
for presentation to Council, when the Board
notified Chairman Hildreth that owing to
the fact that q certain proportion OF the sp'
propriation allowed the Board for thisyear
would have 10 be expended in stt.hng up
Enclosed accounts for last years work, u
few changes would be necessary. These
amendments were made last night, and the
Civ Solicitor was instructed to put the or
dipsace In proper shape for presenta'
tiou 10 Council. There is 8 probability
that a session will be called th's evening
and if so the ordinance will be presented.
Yesterday the Board closed contract

Over this change the Board delibersteo

in material, from brick blocks to the crdin
