How q Tragedy May be Given a Farcioal
Accompaniment.
Half the people in town were grinniDg
yesterday over m expedition made on the
South Side, Wednesday evening, by two
strangers on the lookout for the murderers
of Officer Glenn. The story Of the quest,
as related by those who went along in the
capacity of war correspondents or as
scouts, is inc xpressibly funny, and il was
related many q time and oft, yesterday,
over saloon bars and on the corners Of the
streets. The welI-meaning but indiscreet
amateurs had sworn out q brace of war
ranta, charging as many men with the
horrible crime of two weeks ago, and taking
along a reporter TO the end that what took
place might be faithfully chronicled, and
an officer TO point out the men they
wanted, the party sailed forth. Only a dis
inclination to write of humorona things in
connection with the brutal murder Of
Officer Glenn, ana the existence Of Il sincere
hope that the authorities may discover a
clue which will lead to the arrest Of the
guilty parties, induces us TO withhold an
account of the events Of the evening.
Their nature may be guessed, however,
from the fact that as soon ~ Chief Smith
heard Of the existence of the warrants he
secured possession Of them, aud put a stop
to further proceedings.

DAYS, looking after the interests Of MS

election on the question of whether or not
the county will subscribe three hundred

evening, Judge Cochran said:
There is nothing new in regard 10 Inc

from New York, where matters are IN e&-
cellent shape, and thought would stop
here a day or two and see how things were
progressing. lam glad to hear that the

a very large vote Saturday week"

THAT is one of the things l want TO
make some enquiries about. 1 referred to
the matter while l was in New York, and
while the capitalists there fully appreciate
the advantages which would accrue to the
people of this city and Of Martins Ferry
they at the same time recognize that the
cost of such an addition to the structure
would be considerable, and that the engi-
neering difficulties would be materially
increased. l cannot say what will be
in this regard at this time, but it Is prob,
able that y satisfactory arrangement Will
be made. The capitalists and the railroad
company are DESTROYS of doing everything
proper and reasonable for the accOmmOda-

Committed In the Heart of the City in
Daylight.
Sometime during Wednesday afternoon
some unknown person effected AL entrance
into room "A" on the third floor of the
McLaiu building, Market street, occupied
by a Greek candy merchant named Christy,
broke open a trunk by prying of the lock
with q poker or other instrument Of that
nature, and stole a gold watch, twenty-five
dollars ia money, several shirts, O suit Of
clothes and other articles. The money
consisted of a ten dollar bill, two fves, a
two and three ones, all paper. The door
of the room was opened with a key, and
the job was done by some one familiar
with the premises and habits of the pro-
prietor.
Yesterday evening Officer John Shorts,
knowing that there had been something Of
II hostile feeling between the Greek and
some of the members Of the Italian colony,
paid q visit to the candy store, No. 1902
Market street, accompanied by Extraman
Gaus, and took q look through the prem
ises. There were several Italians in the
place, and as the officers went in one of
party made an effort to slip out. He was
called back, and failing to give a good &C
count of himself, was locked up. 1t was
afterwards ascertained that he slept in a
box in the hall way near the door Of the
Greeks room, and that he and another
Italian we've seen providing around the
hallway about the time the robbery was
committed. There is no direct evidence
of their guilt, however.

SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES

Against a Corporation.
Isaac Willets, Of Washington county, has
brought suit against the Jarecki Manufac-
turing Company, claiming $40, 900 dam
ages for nOn.ful6llment of a contract. Mr..
Willets, who is the owner of the Munce
farm, and with the exception of John Nc
Keown, the largest individual oil operator
in Washington county, purchased the sup
plies for the equipment and operation of
his wells, Of which he has nearly thirty on
the Munce farm, from the Jarecki Com
pany. In his affidavit OF claim he states
that he has been damaged in the sum
named through loss Of production, etc, by
the use Of defective tubing, which would
split, decreasing the production OF the
wells and compelling their shut down for
repairs. 1t is understood that the tubing
was some that was turned out by the green
hands with whom the Pennsylvania Tube
Works Company, (the manufacturers of the
tubing replaced the striking workmen
last summer. The Jarecki Company has
filed an affidavit denying the allegations
made by the plaintiff.

NEW QUARTERS.
THE YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA-
TON GIVEN A NEW HOME.
Three LADIES Generously Present the Association
With a Valuable Piece Of Properly as a Memoir
ial 10 Deceased Relatives.

Several months since the former resi-
dence of Capt. Samuel Mason's family, at
the corner of Twentieth and Market streets,
was purchased by Mrs. James Maxwell and
her two daughters, Misses Sallie and Mary,
the price paid being $500. It was
understood at the time that the building
was to be torn down and the site turned
into q private park, but it seems that
nothing was farther from the thoughts of
the ladies, as they purchased the property
with the sole intention Of adding the nee
essary repairs and Improvements for such
a purpose and turning it over to the Young
Mems Christian Association.
Their original idea was 10 do this before
they notified the Association of their in
tentions, but they came to the conclusion
that it would be best to first notify the As
ISOLATION before the changes were made, in
order that it might be able 10 say in just
what manner the improvements could be
made to accommodate the needs of the As
ISOLATION, which is rapidly growing in size.
it is understood that the officers of the
Association have accepted the gilt and will
join with the generous donors and assist
them in making such changes as may be
necessary. The building, as it stands after
the improvements are made, will be the
Gift Of the ladies, and the Association will
furnish il inside in q most luxurious man
ner.
An architect has been employed to draft
the plans for the building and the work
will no doubt be commenced in the spring.
The house is very large and roomy aud
very we'll suited to such an institution,
although numerous changes. will have to
be made, and it is understood a splendid
gymnasium and bowling alley will be
especial features Of the new Association
Building, and a large assembly hall will
be added.
The bfquest ia certainly a most generous
one and is highly appreciated by the Asso-
citation. The location is a splendid one
for tie purpose and a better could
have hardly been selected. The gift is in
tended rs q memorial to the husband and
father, the late James Maxwell, and son
and brother James, also deceased, and it
will certainly be a fitting one.

A SECOND MYSTERY.

Another Bsrnesyille-Man Turns Up Miss
ing.
The little city of GAINESVILLE is a quiet
place, but hardly a week passes ere the
denizens find q sensation of some character
TO gossip over. For a period the tall wo-
man" held sway. Later A. s. Barnes, a
citizen of the town, was reported as miss
ing and his family was sorely distressed
about him. Mr.. Barnes went South on a
trip, was taken sick and his supply OF
money became exhausted. No positive
information could he heard from him for a
time, but now his location has been ascer-
tanned and his friends havs taken
the necessary steps to bring him
home. But while GAINESVILLE has
its Mr.. Barnes, it has lost a young mar
named George Little. The latter woed
Miss Minnie Coughenour, Of Uniontowp,
and would have made her his wife had he
not disappeared on the eve Of his wedding
day. Little visited his affianced on Mon
day night and made arrangements for the
pupLial knot. When he departed from his
dear one be spoke of the darkness Of the
night and left, since which time he has not
been heard of.
A visit to the boarding house where the
missing man resided showed no evidence
of any intention of disappearing, as con-
siderable money, clothes and other articles
were found in his room.
Little had received a number OF threat
eninp letters of late from unknown per
sons, and some people are of the belief that
he was murdered, hut it is possible that be
concluded that single blessedness was
preferable to married life and left for parts
unknown.
It has since been learned that a hat was
found in the creek two miles below Barnes
willie, and it is thought that it is that OF
Mr.. Little. 1t may be that in crossing the
creek the missing man fell from the bridge
and was drowned. The stream was frozen
over the day after his Disappearance" and
has remained so ever since, 50 that 1t can
not be searched.

Spring Building.

When the weather opens up next spring
Wheeling will experience a pretty good

number of old and unsightly landmarks
will he obliterated to be replaced by mod
ern ediices. Mr.. Alfred PAUL has had
plans prepared by Architect Wells for an
elegant residence on North Main street.
Mr.. Wells is contemplating the erection of
another elegant dwelling on the South
Side and a number Of others intend to
build in the spring, among which are sew.
eral business houses. Most of these will
be ready for the workmen as soon a the
weather permits, and it looks very much
like next year will be a busy one in the
building trade.
