\ Dsrkey Arrested vt a Clever Gamo-Bel-
mont Street Crossing Case.

mont street CROSSING Shs's
Yesterday afternoon a daIkrv brought
a load Of wool 10 town and attempted to
sell 1t to Messrs. T~hornherry x Booth.
The latter gentlemen noticed the sacks
contained the mark OF Troll Bros, St
Clairsviile, and feeling that something
was wrong detained the colored chap until
Conrad Troll arrived from st. Clairsyille
on the noon 3. x q. accommodation. The
wool was recognized ~ part Of a shipment
made from NewarE, and the darkey was
arrested and placed in the lookup. 1t
seems that Savoy had broken open a car
1t ST. Clairsvilie Junction during Thurs
day night and carried the wool in bundles
TO a neighboriDg field. Yesterday morning
Joseph Hutchinson, a farmer, was passing
by on his wey to Bellaire with
a load OF marketing when he was asked by
the colUred man to carry his wool TO this
city. Savoy explained that he had hired a
a 10 bring the load here, but that the
fellow changed his mind and dumped the
WOOL ont of his wagon. 1t is likely that the
100 pounds Of wool that the darkey stole
and the fact that be broke open a freight
car to secure it will land him in the pen
itentiary.
BELMONT STREET CASE.
The Belmont street crossing case, which
came up in the L. s. Court at Columbus
on Tuesday, and which was given to the
Jury Thursday night, is one of the law
salts which our people will never forget.
II is likely that the damages allowed will
he so large that the city will be unable to
4rr tf.,. 10 - n FVr4aF r1ty fhat a .it.,
the size OF Bellaire should be so badly han
dicappsd when she desires to open up the
principal street Of the city; but then the
railroad has rights and privileges that
should be respected. The only way the
city will ever derive any benefit from a b.
20. crossing will be to bridge the tracks.
This fact will have to be recognized sooner
or later or else the B. x o. will have to
change the position OF the yard.
john \. Gallaher, counsel for the city,
returned from Columbus last evening, and
brought word that the jury had disagreed,
and that there must be a new trial.
