Charged with Wnnton Assault.

On Monday night US Reuben Norris, g
well known colored citizen, was vending
his way homeward between s and 0
o'clock, he was set upon by crowd Of
colored roughs, who were occupying
both the pavement and Morrow street,
with their beer, bats and balls. He was
pretty roughly handled. Norris went
before Justice Davis last night, after he
had secured the names OF his assailants,
and swore out five warrants.
Three OF the boys were picked up last
night and two were jailed. One ofthem
broke away from the officer and so far
has not been arrested again.
This is n similar assault to the one
made upon Professor Jones some two
years ago. The offenders will all be
arraigned before the Justice some time
to-day il possible to capture them. Nell
son Berry. and Harry Brown were the
two locked up last night in default OF
bail. There are still three at liberty.

The wheeling Team to Resume Playing
To.dlny-Other Ball News.

TOsuny-Othor btlu NoW1s
The Wheeling team after two days
rest will resume its work to-day.
1t will play at Canton, and ought to win,
for GAINESVILLE has had no trouble in dis
posing of the Canton team the past two
days.
The Directors OF the Wheeling team
are called to meet this evening 10 con-
slider Buckenberger's case. The letter
sent him, which so stirred him up that
he asked that man be sent on to take
charge OF the team, merely reminded
him that team that only won at home
could never win the pennant; that there
must be cause for the poor work Of the
teamaway from home,a and that that cause
must be removed. II told him further
that II there was no improvement in the
work OF the team away from home, some
OF the high-priced men must be fired
and cheaper men, who would play ball
TO win, engaged in their places. Refer
ing to Stapleton's bad work, he was told
that the directors knew that that player
had been drinking the day the team LEFT
home, and that appearances indicated
that he had not recovered from the eff
fects OF the drink.
The letter was written in q kindly
spirit to Buckenberger, yet in the face
OF it he telegraphed the Sunday paper
a sorrowful tale about the directors los
ing confidence in him, and that it wa!
very hard TO "be called drunkards anC
buns" when every one Of the team wa
a gentleman.

ASSAULT on A CHILD.


The Inluman Conduct of Strange Man In
the Fifth Ward.
Residents OF the Fifth ward were ex-
cited and justly indignant yesterday
over the base action oil an unknown
man the night before, and had he been
captured and identified, it would have
gone hard with him. The man was a
foreigner, supposed from his appearance
TO be an Italian. On Monday evening
he entiCed girl OF twelve years, named
Dolly Wilson, TO secluded place on the
railroad tracks on Water street and there
assaulted her. Serious results were pre-
vented by the timely arrival OF a young
man who modestly concealed his iden-
tity. He struck the assailant stunning
blow, and then conducted the girl to a
place OF safety. When he returned the
man had disappeared.
Officer Wilkie was notified, and
searched for the assailant all over the
ward, but without success.
The girls parents live in Alley IS, and
she is rather weak-minded. she says the
stranger told her il she would take a lit
tie walk with him he would give her five
cents. It is hoped the wretch will yet
be apprehended.

CHIPS IN A VALVE.


Tho City Water Works Inns to Quit and
Clean Pump.
Yesterday some chips and other OBJ
structions got into one OF the valves Of
the new Gordon & Maxwell pumps, at the
city water works, and the pump had to
be stopped and the valve cleaned. The
reservoir was full when pumping ceased,
but it did not take long to drain it The
Belmont iron works is using the city
water temporarily, its own water works
having been disabled by an accident,
and TO have shut Off its supply would
have chilled its blast furnace and entail
ed loss OF thousands OF dollars. This
with the other drains on the supply Of
water, soon depleted it. The afternoon
newspapers, whose presses are operated
by water motors, had to make other
arrangements" and the water.power
elevators along Main street had to re-
main idle. The damage was repaired
late in the afternoon, and the pumps
started again and kept on in full force
till the reservoir was again full OF water.

A YOuDgstsr who tells very Inconsistcn
Story.

1botgs
A bright boy, aged o years, appeared
at the police headquarters last evening,
and said he was hunting his mother,
who lived here and was married to man
named MeCune, while his iather lived
at Smiths Ferry, Pa, and is named
Kelly. He did not quite understand
how he was fortunate enough to possess
a father and step-father, but maintain
ed that he did. He is a fair haired, un-
usually well-dressed kid, and explained
his fine clothing by saying that the
police Of Steubenville gave It to him.
When questioned about this later, he
said he had made mistake; it was the
East Liverpool police who fitted him out
with the dude suit he wore.
He slept on settee in the Municipal
Court room all night. A reporter found
him there and asked his name.
II won't tell you" he responded, "or
you'll send me back"
1t is believed the boy has run away
from his home somewhere up the river.
He says he lived here three years ago,
but cannot remember anything about
the city, as he was too young. He is
probably an imaginative and romantic
little scamp, and his dizzy story fraud
