Run Riot on the Q, s p, "owP' Train.
Broken Heads and Windows,
Saturday evening the FOWL" train
which runs from Bellaire to Wellsyille
and return on the Cleveland & Pitts
burgh road, was the scene OF a most dis
graceful row, A gang Of Martins Ferry
toughs, evidently recalling the depreda-
tons Of the detunct "Dirty Dozen" oi
that place, proceeded TO do up the train
after the fashion which was the wont OIL
that old time organisation,
Several Of the gang were drunk To
start with, and the train being crowded
with people going TO the Foraker meet
ing at Steubenville, they had but little
trouble In creating o disturbance. One
we'll known rounder led the gang
through the train declaring his ability
and willingness to lick any man on the
train, and no one impeding his progress,
he attacked an inotfsnsiVe colOred man
from this city. The gang piled on the
poor fellow and gave him severe dIub'
bing. This act started the ball rolling,
and in a few minutes q general free
fght was in progress, Windows were
broken and seats torn loose. The train
men locked the doors so as to Confne
the row to one car, and allowed the fight
to go Oh,
When the train arrivedat steubenYille
there were half a dozen badly SCARED
faces In the gang, Wilhelm Steubenville
the same crowd started another light In
which one Martins Ferry man had a
cash four inches In length cut above his
eye, The names Of the leaders In the
trouble have been secured by the rail
way officials and an effort will be made
TO prosecute the fighters.

aNumber Of Topics,
The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly held an unusually long session
yesterday, but transacted little import
ant business, The first matter brought
TO the attention Of the body, was the
little difficulty between the carpenters
and Klevis, Kraft 4 Co. The trouble
arose from the firm, through an inter
mediate party, furnishing lumber 10 be
worked by non-union men, The dele
gates also explained that the matter was
amicably adjusted in q few minutes,
alter the committee had waited upon
the propTietors,
Quite little time was spent in dis.
CuSsing the various methods employed
by s. S. Marvin 10 advertise his goods.
This discussion was allowed so that each
OF the delegates might make report to
his local lodge, and thus put the MEM
heFs on guard. The delegates were also
instructed TO keep an eye on the mer-
chants with whom they deal,
A communication was received from
the Retail Merchants Association, stat
ing that in consideration Of the part they
have taken In several Of the Assembly's
fights, that body would be asked in the
near future to lend them helping hand,
Just what the merchants will ask was
not stated, but II is pretty generally sur
missed by the members Of the Assembly,
who decline, however, to state what that
surmise Is,
The committee which had in charge
the Milwaukee beer boycott, reported
that that beer had been entirely driven
out Of the city, aud that noneOf 1t Is
now sold except the small stocks which
some dealers lave on hands,
The committee which has in charge
the matter ofawarding the prizes offered
to the organization turning out the
largest numbers OF men in the Labor
Day parade, stated thatit wouldaRive the
flag TO the potters, and the gavel to the
plasterers at the next Assembly meeting,
These prizes would have been presented
before now, but they arc slow in arriy.
ing after being ordered.
1t was decided To hold an eight hour
meeting on Thanksgiving Day, and a
committee OF five was appointed TO make
arrangements for the meeting, and to Sc.
cure speakers. Several names were sug.
