OVER in OHIO.
MARTINS FERRY.
What Happened There Saturday Night and
Sunday.

Sunday.
INTOXICATED.
Almost the entire town seemed to be
intoxicated Saturday night. People of all
ages, sizes and previous conditions OF
servitude reeled and staggered about the
streets after dark. Even the bright eye OF
the street lamp seemed blurred and dim,
and the moon was little dizzy.
Three boys, none of them over fifteen
years OF age, were found at II o'clock lying
on doorstep in the lower part of town in
beastly state of intoxication.
An old man, nearly seventy years of age,
fell on Hanover street, striking his head
on the crossing and knocking himself In
sensible. He had been proclaiming anar
chistic principles and bowling for divide
of the surplus in the treasury when his
legs became so badly tangled as were his
thoughts and down he came "kerplunk.
Along towards morning another inebri-
ated individual wended his way wearily
down Fifth street, with one leg of his pants
torn entirely of and huge red bandana
tied around his knee. He had on white
campaign hat and had bottle Of red
liquor hanging from string over bis
shoulder after the fashion of canteen.
He was yelling for Harrison and Morton
and free whisky in Choctaw Language.
When he passed the reporter he says, "hic
don't bic-hic-look jes lovely ?" The
reporter agreed aud said he had never seen
him looking better.
A short distance above the O. Il p. depot
q man, who said he had drawn his first
pay for six weeks, was crawling around
among the switch bars. He had worn a
huge patch off the epidermis of his cheek
bone and had mud in his whiskers. He
was entirely off his pedestal, but he didn't
ask the reporter what he thought of his
personal appearance.
On Saturday night the incorrigible
Flicker Coss pumped his hide full of booze
and proceeded to apply coat Of bright
"bluddy" pigment to this sombre Quaker
colored town. He ran against mans fist
on Hanover street and wound up behind
the bars for the second time in a week.
SHORT OF WATER.
At half.past six o'clock yesterday morn
ing the pumping machinery at the Ben
wood blast farnace, in this city, gave ont
and in little while the water tanks abou,
the place were almost dry, and the tuyeres
and boilers were about to be put on hal
rations. An arrangement was made with
tue city authorities whereby the furnace
company was allowed to take several sec
tions of fire hose, and by connecting il
with fire hydrant near the works, fill NJ
their tanks and keep the place going.
Plumbers were put to work at once max
ing connections with the city mains, sc
that there will always hereafter be an ade.
quate supply, no matter what happens
The private pumping machinery of the
company will be put in order, so that al
any time the city plant might be out o.
order this will not be inconvenienced.

Saturdays Game With Rutgers-Large R ] ly Attended Meeting 1n Dwight Hal Last Evenfng-very Little Hazins This Fall.
 The game with Rutgers on Saturday result
 ed in victory for Yale by a score of 65 to O.
 Yale met with 6 misfortune in the injury of Captain Corbin, whose knee was thrown out of joint during the game. Corbin was about the campus yesterday. and 1t is hoped that he will be able to play soon. Should he be compelled to give up playing even for little while, it would seriously damage Yale's chances for the championship for Captain Corbin's presence and coaching is invaluable to the team
 The meeting in Dwight hall last night was addressed by Messrs. Welch and Griggs 's9, and Moves and Graves '91. The meeting was was attended and very successful. The plan of having the Sunday night meetings conducted and addressed by the students themselves will probably be adopted in a majority of cases this year. At the close of the meeting Mr. Stagg, the secretary of the Yale Y. M. O. A., gave notice of the State convention to be held in Bridgeport during the ensuing week. Friday evening will be entirely devoted to the discussion of work among college men. and 1t is hoped that many Yale men will take advantage of the reduced fare and attend the convention.
 There has been very little hazing done this fall; indeed, the time for it has passed with less than in any previous year. This is part ly due to the refusal of the faculty to publish the names and addresses of the freshmen until two weeks had elapsed. By that time the college was interested in other matters. It is also due in part to the movement to- ward the university idea and the growth of the college. The management of the rushes and the omission of the customary objection able features of the sidewalk struggle at the request of the faculty was another instance of the game tendency.
