Der Of interested pertisans on both sides,
were busy all day, looking out for the
interests OF those seeking naturalization
and desiring to affiliate with one of the
two parties. Thegreat majority OF those
naturalized arc Germans, there being
few Irish, English, Greek and Italian
applicants.
Judge Campbell will hold court this
afternoon and evening for the same
purpose.
The attempted naturalization OF Adam
Grarius, q Hungarian, in the Circuit
Court Saturday. by some OF the leading
Democratic politicians was failure.

chan!cu had the application continued
until last night at 0 o'clock, and prompt.
ly at that time they filed in Court to the
number Of one hundred, prepared to
make it interesting for Mr.. Gravius, but
the gentleman came not and the Court
turned down his application.
Tho objections to Mr.. Grav.us were
based on the ground that he is charged
with tearing down and insulting the
American flag in South Wheeling on
last Decoration Day, which the Junior
Order considered did not show that he
was well disposed toward the United
States or qualified to BECOME good citi.
zen. The matter has been tGfaed oyer
for some time and the action OF the court
Saturday night was heartily approved by
the crowd present aad tho matter WAC
also pretty freely discussed on the streets
all day yesterday. Mr.. Frank Cruise,
Chairman Riley and the Court House
office force held a little caucus over the
matter TO devise some way 10 ave the
vote, but the statement Of the Court
that he would refuse. papers to any man
against whom It could be proven that he
did not respect the American flag, had
too much ice water on it for them.
Tho Junior Order is composed OF all
parties, but tho boys we're pretty warm
against those who we're trying o get
Gravius through.
One prominent Democrat Is said TO
have innocently asked Judge PAUL II
tearing down the flag would disqualiiy
Gravius. and tho court promptly replied
to the effect that it most certainly would
during hls term Of Office at least.

Mr.. L, J. Buckley as Paul Kauvar and
Miss ADELAIDE York as Diana supported
by powerful company will present
this successful play at the Opera House
this evening. Paul Kauvar Is well re-.
membered by those who saw it given
here last winter. i will undoubtedly
receive Gu immense ovation tonight.
Concerning it tho Boston Globe says:
Steele Mackaye's picturesque and 70.
mantle drama, "Paul kauvar," which
ran over 100 nights at the Standard
Theatre, New York, is serious attempt,
by skilled American dramatist, to
represen: in action g,eat themes, high
motives and the conduct Of heroic men
and women swayed by the loiliest pur-
poses, and surrounded by the terrible
circumstances OF civil revolution. The
play is built on the FRENCH method, and
has many great and striking pictures,
which do not interrupt but rather inten.
nify, the action. 1t presents in clear
and unmlstakable manner the distiuc.
tiun between liberty and license, and
patriotism and mob violence, and it
employs love, hatred, selfshness and
ambition as the passions which sway
and animate its leading pcrsouages.

A Woman and Three Children Found
Roan'lng tho streets.
Early yesterday morning Officer scally
found woman with three children
wandering about on Fourteenth street.
He asked her why she was out and
leaned that she was a widow and that
she had come from Cumberland, Nd,

and the officer took her and her chill,
dren to police headquarters where they
were made as comfortable ns possible.
Yesterday morningthe woman wandered
out OF the basement office where she was
allowed 10 stay but not detained. She
was seen wandering about tho streets
several times during the day, and made
remarks apparently 10 herself, while
passing people, which led those who
heard her to believe that she was little

Yesterday evening she and her child.
rem were found sitting In front OF a Mar.

BELMONT COUNTY PROSPECTS.


A Probability Tint tho Republicans VIII
Elect the County Ticket.
The campaign over in Belmont county
has not been one Of fire works, torch
light professions and oratorY, but much
quiet effective work has been done by
both parties and less mud singing has
been INDUCED in than in former years.
The indications are that there will be q
large vote polled and some scratching.
The Republicans expect to elect their
entire county ticket and with full vote
there will not be any trouble about this.
The Democrats appear to be working
harder for the election off. Y. Patterson,
their candidate for sheriff, than any 9th.
or candidate, and be ia the only one
they have any hopes OF electiug. Owing
to the still hunt being worked by both
parties it is difficult to make a predic.
tion as to majorities.
The outlook for the election OF Col. G..
L. Poorman to Congress appears TO be
good. The Republicans think that the
Democratic majority in Monroe county
won't reach 1900, and that can be over
come in the other three counties. Not
more than two meetings have been held
in any one town in Belmont county, and
none have been held in Bellaire and
several other places.
