The Pittsburg Division of the b. i o.
Open for Business.
The new trestle bridge at the mouth Of
the creek, was passable for trains yester-
day, but no general business was done
over it, until last evening, for the reason
that the road further ont the line was
not quite completed. 1t was stated last
evening, however, that trains would be
running through this morning on schedule
time. A train consisting of three cars
of lumber, and general manager W. M.
Clements car, went out over the line yes
terday morning, and returned last even
ing, at which time the work between this
city and Triadelphis was almost con-
cluded. Later several freight trains came
in from Pittsburg.
Shelby's circus came mp from Bellaire
yesterday, and expected to get ont TO Lit
tie Washington during the afternoon, but
the proprietors were disappointed, and had
to lie over till last night.

THE FIRST DAY.
THE STATE FAIR AND EXPOSITION 10 OPEN
THIS MORNING.
No Racing Until fo-morrCw, Whom Fine no
gramms VIII Be Inaaguraisd-fsisr-
day on tho Grounds

Many hands were busy yesterday get
ting the exhibits on the State Fair Grounds
in urssentabls shape, but still the amount
of work done was not rs large rs in some
former years, Q great many people prefer
ring to do an extra amount Of work to-
day, while still some others had their
stuff in fair shap by dark Saturday night
Some horse and live stock arrived at the
grounds during the day, and Pierce's com.
bination of male and female riders, which
is expected to add very largely to the In
terest of the race track, arrived In the
city. but will not reach the grounds until
this morning. A great deal of stuff OF all
kinds is in transit, and all during to-day
and far into the night there will be con-
slant stream of live stock, speed horses,
wagons laden with exhibits from city and
country, boxes of county exhibits from all
over the State, and all sorts Of farm pro-
ducts and machinery, pouring into the
grounds
The enclosure was closed to the general
public Yesterday, and the gates were sell
dom opened, save to let in an occasional
load of exhibits, or lumber and other stun
necessary to the arrangement Of the dis
PLAYS. In the Min Building several own
ers of space put in hard day and by night
the interior showed marked advanced in
sttractiveness. The number Of sheep, hogs
and cattle in the pens last night was quite
large, while the stalls for horses, vert
nearly all occupied. The speed horses on
the grounds are fine lot, away above the
average, and some of the runners look
rs though they were capable Of great
work. The track was never in as good
order as Il will be found this morn
ing. Old horsemen, who have been the
rounds OF the crack race-courses Of the
country, speak Of it spprovingly, and If /,
remains..as il is, fast time will be an
nounced after every race. There are no
turf events to come of to-day, but the
regular programme will be inaugurated to
morrow, and from that time on there will
be lots of this best and most inter resting OF
all sports.
This morning the Open House Band will
start out from the central part Of the city,
and will 20 north to Martins Ferry, thence
through that town, E.naville, Bridge.
port, West Wheeling and Bellaire, crossing
to Benwood, and thence back up through
the lower part Of the city, thus calling the
attention Of everyone TO the Inauguration
OF the big Fair. Daring the remainder OF
the week the band will simply march,
daily, from the city to the grounds.
The weather promises TO be all that could
be desired, and from indications the at
tendance will be immense all through the
week.
The fact that the Pittsburg division Of
the B. & o. will be open for business in
the regular way, this morning, will aid
materially in the success Of the Fair, a. q
good deal of live stock and many people
would have been hopelessly shut out had
that road remained blockaded during the
week.

BELLAlRE.

A Collection Of Local Notos and Brief
Personals.
Richards was the most surprised indi-
vidual in town on Saturday after the boat
race. freddy" felt confident that he
could beat Mutb, and backed his conf
dence with all the cash he could scrape to.
gether. As Richards was broke" his
friends raised him o purse Of SIS and
started him for McKeesport. "Reddy" is
q good -natured individual, and took his
defeat like a man. The Bellaire boys who
bet against Muth wore downcast coun-
tenances on Saturday night, but the chaps
who came out ahead had glorious time.
The Shelby circusdid not have big at
tendance at either performance. The show
was delayed here until yesterday afternoon,
as the condition of the B. & y. road east
of Wheeling would not allow passage Of
trains before that. The tents will be put
up at Washington, Pa, to-day. One good
feature of the circus is that it has no gang
Of gamblers along with it.
George Muth. father OF John, the oars.
man, was opposed to his son rowing the
race, but when some individuals tried to
bluff him by saying the ''son of his father"
could not beat Richards, George showed
that he was willing TO back the ''chip of
the old block" a1d made the challengers
take water.

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR CARS.
VIII They he Provided with Two Men for
Each Car?

VIII They he Provided with Two Men for
Each Car?
To tie Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-This is question in which the
public is interested The indications here
tofore have been that such provision will
not be made. Acting upon this presump-
ton, wish to say that there are good res-
sons why it should be done, and done at
once; and if not done by the company
promptly and voluntarily, it should be
done by order Of Council. The public
safety and convenience demand 1t; Justice
to the men who RIM the cars requires
it. There is too much work for one
man to do. Economy Is . good thing-a
very good thing-but it should not all be
in the interest OF one party, which finds,
as claim, a great saving in motive power
So far, ride on the electric motors is by
no means pleasure trip. They are rough,
noisy and injurious to watches. II the
public is to find any advantage In them
over the horse cars, it is yet to be seen.
Aye, there is the Imprinted, ornamental
poles, and the webs Of wire, the delight Of
the firemen. 1t is pleasant to contemplate
incorporated companies own the city,
and the Council is very wise and liberal.
o, it is a JOY forever! Plesse give us two
men on each car. 1t will be safer, and
make things more comfortable all around.
