The Leap Year Picnic, which was
to be given at Island Park by the
young ladies of Martinsbprg on
Monday evening last, was changed
to Leap Year Ball, and given in
the large dining-room of the ST.
Clair Hotel. The ball. on account
of the sudden change of plans, was
quite an inpromptu affair, but none
the less elegant. The attendance
was very large, and the untiring and
gallant attention of the young Ia
dies to the gentlemen made it very
enjoyable. About one O'Clock a
sumptuous repast was spread, to
which full justice was done Dan
cling was Kept up until an early hour
in the morning, when the party dis
persed. Much credit is due to the
young ladies, especially to the com
mittee of arrangements, which was
composed of Misses Mai Faulkner,
Eva Alburtis and Lilly Eichelber-
ger.

Denoupciny a False Report.

The local members of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers were very indignantlast even
ing over the circulation Of q report that the
grievance committee Of their organization, in
session at Chicsgo, was attempting to array the
order against General Harrison. Local Demo
cratic slanderers were busy circulating the re-
port, basing their statements only upon an unre-
liable telegram from politicians Of their class in
Chicago. At the request OF several locomotive
engineers Chairman Huston telegrsphed
70 Daniel Shsphard, of Chicago. secretary of
the Illinois State central committee, TO ascertain
what truth there was in the statement. An
answer was received last night. saying the com
mittee WAS in session. and that o rumor was be-
ing circulated there that an effort was being
MADE to have it dsnounce the State ticket in
Illinois. Tie meeting, he said, was secret. and
there we're no means OF verifying the rumor.
Engineers, regardless OF politics, who were
asked about the probability of aay politi-
cal action by the Brotherhood. were
emphatic in depouning the report from Chicago
al false in every particular. John :. Patterson,
OF tie Panhandle. the Indianapolis member OF
the COMMITTEES, said there could not be any
foundation for II. '.If any political action
should De takeu.H said De. lit would disrupt the

diately withdraw If such action was taken. AS

true to the order. and hold IL above politics y
Mr.. Patterson further said that many Of the
members OF the Brotherhood were so anxious TO
keep the order free from politics that they re-
Trained from taxing an active part in the cam
paien. This applied TO Democrats as we'll "a
Republicans. In conclusion he said he had
talked with Dir. Arthur about the order and pol
tiles, aud be knew that the Chief would never
conntenauce any political action, no matter In
whose interest II WAS taken.
