The working men of the Bellaire Nail
works, four months ago. organized an aid
society, 10 help themselves in case OF sick-
ness and accident, by furnishing med.
ical attendance and the medicines pre-
scribed, besides . substantial cash pay
ment every week to the sick man. They
number now $50, and have two doctors
aud two druggists engaged-on Gravel
Hill and in the centre of the city, and in
every case Of sickness-and many have al
ready occurred, the members are well
taken care of. If any benevolent institu-
ton is 10 be supported, it should be THE
Steel and Iron Workers Benevolent So
ciety." Bellaire merchants, with whom
these men deal, should voluntarily con-
tribute something each month, as this
society will help the poor man, when sick,
to keep from getting behind, and will no
doubt benefit the merchant as well as the
workman.
Friday afternoon, while Charles Fiiz-
patrick and Wm. Sneider were standing
on the C. & p. railroad track above the
steel works they were attacked by two
tramps and badly beaten. Sneider had his
nose broken and body bruised by the shoe
of one of the men, while Fitzpatrick re-
ceived a blow on the nose and a kick on
the hand. 1t seems that the enraged in
dividuals had been occupying a shanty
boat on the river bank and that a crowd OF
boys was in the habit of stormiDg the craft.
The kids had been at their work yesterday
and the tramps supposed that Fitzpatrick
and Sneider belonged to the crowd and as
saulted them, but it seems the injured
boys had nothing to do with throwing the
stones. The night after the attack the
tramps set fire to their boat and skulked
out.
C. Pistelli, the we'll known Italian con.
fectioner died yesterday at the Wheeling

ally blood poisoning was the outcome.
