MORE POLICE.

The Gentlemen Of the Board Want to Put
On Three New Men.
The Board of Police and Fire Commits
sioners seem to have at last come to the
conclusion that an increase in the police
force would be judicious.
At last nights meeting resolution was
adopted by the Board recommending to
Council that the force be increased By the
addition of three new Deputy Sergeants,
and submitted the names Of Substitute
Officer George Gaus, ex- Policeman Edward
Duffy and Thomas Burke as fit parties to
fill the positions.
These nominations will be placed before
Council this evening,
The men are all we'll known and will
make good officers. Mr.. Duffy was long
q member of the force, and is a valuable
man. Mr.. Gaus has been substitute off,
Ger on the force for good while, and has
made an enyisble record for himself. Mr..
Burke has had no experience, but will
turn out we'll.

A SERIOUS ARRAY.
John Schiller Dangerously Stabbed, Last
Evening.

John Schiller Dangerously Stabbed, Last
Evening.
A serious affray occurred in the Eighth
ward, about nine o'clock last evening,
which may result in the death Of John
Shifisr, and have serious legal conse-
quencss for Joseph and VIM. Haley, his
ASSISTANTS.
About the time named, while Shitiier
was on Wood street, near Thirty-third, he
was set upon by the two Haley brothers,
and q terrible fight ensued. During the
melee one of the Hsleys drew large knife
and stabbed Schiller twice in the back,
one of the cuts being on either side Of the
spine, we'll up under the shoulder blade.
One of the wounds is very deep, and may
result seriously.
The wounded man was taken to his
home near the brewery, and DR.. Pipes
called, who rendered what aid was posi-
BILE.
At eleven o'clock last night no arrests
had been made, but the police were look.
ing for the Haleys. It could not be ascer.
tanned last night which of the assailants
actually did the cutting.

THE BELLAIRE MILL

Signs the A. A. i. & 8. w. scsle-The Stand
ard to Start-Pres ldent Weihe Here.
President William Weihe, of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers, arrived in the city yesterday, and
when seen by q REGISTER reporter last
euening he said that several little business
matters had brought him to the city, and
that he would remain several days.
PRESIDENT Weihe furnished the agreeable
information that the Bellaire mill had
signed the Amalgamsted scale yesterday,
which the employees Of that establishment
no doubt received with much joy, as the
probabilities are that the work will soon
resume.
1t was learned from another source, last
evening, that the Standard mill at Bridge
port will resume work next Monday morn
ing and that preparations are now being
made to that end. The Standard has not
vet signed the scale, but it will take q very
short time to do that, and as the news con-
corning the start came from an official of
the mill, it is no doubt authentic.

count of Joke accidentally played on me
by our news dealer in giving me the Pitts

glancipg over the paper, under the impress
sion that it was the Post, am made to say
"Boys, the Post has Topped and we must
give it up." l acknowledge to the main
part of the joke, but emphatically deny
the giving mp part. l am not that KIND OF a
Democrat. believe the Democratic party Is
in power to stay and would be sorry to rest
nv hopes of success for the next election
on the Post or any other paper. / read the
REGISTER, Post and MteiHgeacer on the
aforesaid morning. Substituting the Com
D,ercial for the Post Was too big dose OF
that kind of medicine. l am in favor Of
fair protection for industries that need it,
but not to such an extent as TO encourage
combinations and trusts without benefit
ting the laboring man, and think Presi'
dent CIevelsnd's message expresses the
true policy. Don't be alarmed about the
Democracy of Brooke county. They will
put in the right kind of tickets in Novem-

will be more than trebly balanced by
young intelligent farmers and mechanics
who understand their own interests.

Mrs. Sarah Gaston's Story.

The Iatelligeneer yesterday morning had
Mrs. CASTOR dead at IL o'clock Sunday
morning, but the same day at o'clock in
the afternoon, the old lady was feeling
well, had recovered her faculties and was
able to describe the terrible experience she
had passed through on that eyentful and
never-to- beforgotten Thursday night. Said
she:
my husband and myself were in sepa..
rate rooms during the storm and we had
no idea that there was any danger OF the
house being swept away. But suddenly
there came rush of waters and the house
was shaken. We realized our danger too
late. My husband appeared in the door.
wav and Selling my hand said: Sarah, all
is over with u.s. and the next
thing / knew was being swept
down the creek clinging to
timber. 1 could see about where was,
and soon recognized the fact that l was
approaching q point that would mean GER
tain death were to be swept around 1t.
Being thrown close to the creek bank, 1
seized hold of some bushes and, after a
desperate effort, succeeded in pulling my
self to a place of safety. l then tore a
strip off my dress and tied it to bush to
mark the spot. The bank was very steep,
and now wonder how ever succeeded IN
getting over it. never saw my husband
after he uttered those words. tell you 1t
was terrible experience"
Then the old lady was too much over
come to continue, as the thoughts of what
she had lost and how she had suffered
came back to her. She is quite aged and
her escape is certainly miraculous. A
gentleman who saw the spot over which
she climbed that night, says he is sure he
could not begin to accomplish the same
feat to-day.

Rebuilding the Railroads.

The following telegram came from Pitts
burg last night:
Pittsburg has railroad communication
with Wheeling again, the first time since
the great storm. The Panhandle road
was opened this morning and trains left
Pittsburg for that place at the usual time.
The company has had a large force of men
at work day and night ever since the
storm, and while the road is now passable
large amount of work yet remains to be
done before it will be as good as it was
previous to the storm. The B. q o. is
still blockaded. Trains are running a
mile or two beyond West Alexander, but
it will be two or three days before they can
reach Wheeling, and perhaps longer
There are several bridges to build, Others
to repair, and besides large amount OF
filling to be done.

Tho great work of relieving the distress

and the committee in charge of the work is
making splendid progress. A meeting OF
the committee was held at the Infrmary,
last evening, to complete arrangements for
the distribution of the funds now at the

reported that their work of sscertaining

destitute had been about completed and
the lists were read. Thecommittee is now

furnished with order books yesterday and
a number Of orders were given out for pro-
visions to the needy. 1t is probable that
the committe will be in shape to-
day to give out the cash do
nations, which will be given in sums as
the committee sees the necessities OF the
unfortunate demand. OF course the
amounts will not be large, but they will
materially assist those who lost everything
in making another start, and no doubt 1t
will be the means of virtually putting
them on their feet again. In the mean
time contributions from all sources Will De

Another Heavy Rain.

A gentleman who came from the country
last evening says that rain fell at Elm
Grove and on ont through Triadelphia
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
again about $50 another rain, commenc-
ing Just beyond the Park and continuing
on cut past Triadelphia. The rain was
not heavy at the Grove, but out at Tria-
delphis the mud indicated that good deal
of water had fallen. The people were very
much frightened, fearing that another
storm was coming up, the sky to the
northeast having much the same appear
ance that it had Thursday evening Those
people who had articles out drying could
not get them under shelter in time and
they received another soaking.

Sot,ce Starved That No Ohio County MAN
Need Show His Head for Congress-
A good many Republicans were affected
with dizziness, yesterday, upon persuing
their morning Inteltgeneer and finding
therein the official notice, endorsed ana
enlarged upon by the editor of that jour
nal, that no Ohio county man need enter
tain any hope of reaching the nomination
for Congress in this district, because, In
the language of the editor aforesaid, The
uoin., this time, is to nominate worthy
man, who can be elected"
This is pretty rough on Dovener ana
Atkinson, and to say that their friends are
hot. is to state it mildly. The declaration
of war upon the ''Ohio county aspirants'
occasioned an immense amount OF talk, yes
terdsv, and it is altogether probable that
there will be some hard words and mani
fsstations of feeling among the brethren
before the affair is patched up.
One prominent Republican, who was
asked about the not very well concealed
meaning of the manifesto of the Intelligen-
Ger, said:
ooh, there are q good many theories as
to what it means, bat most of us agree that
the Intelligencer is not the disinterested
patriot it processes to be. There il some
thing behind this attack on Doverner and
Atkinson, which, You will notice, the edi-
tor seems to rub in unnecessarily hard
He seems glad of the opportunity given
by the committee, and is helping along q
little enterprise of his own, at the same
time he gets even on little grudge against
Dovener, which has cropped ont before
now. and which seems to date back to the
Room Convention in the Opera House. or
even beyond that. Depend on 1t, nttie
upplcasantuess has been started, which
will not grow less rs the campaign grows
older. 1t is q new thing in politics which
makes it q crime for an Ohio county Rs'
publican to aspire TO office, or to endeavor
TO obtain the election of his friends as dele
gates to the nominating convention"
Another gentleman said: 81 have al.
WAYS thought the policy Of the Inteliigen
Ger was to get Atkinson and Dovener and
their friends to qusrelling among them
selves 1t looks as though this had failed,
and open and avowed hostility to both had
been substituted. If the thing is success
full, look out for the introduction Of A. W.
Campbell to the public in Congressional
way,n
