A DISGRACEFUL EVENT.

The laws of this State were openly
violated by nearly three hundred sports,
who engaged in and witnessed cooking
main at Martins Ferry, Thursday night
and Friday morning. The event had
been duly announced to occur, and a
cOmmOdious pit with seats for spectators,
and all other requisites provided in an
upper room at John Kyne's saloon The
birds came from Circleville, Wheeling,
and Martins Ferry. There were some
beautiful deaths, and the Ohio people
got little the best of the game. Much
money changed hands, the saloon did
rafting business, and the operators of
gambling devices worked their schemes
for all they were worth. At about one
o'clock the Martins Ferry Marshal got
the police together for a raid on the
place, but the doors were locked. The
Marshal decided that he had no authority
to force an entrance, as he had no warrant
and Mayor Kellar could not be found
He thereupon placed Kyne under arrest,
compelling him to put up $400 for his
appearance. The Marshal acted as the
law provides in such cases, but it is to be
regretted that only one of the 250 or
more persons, who under the statutesare
guilty of misdemeanor, should have been
apprehended. 1t is also a matter of
comment that the affair should have been
allowed to come off at all in the midst of
one of the largest and best communities
in this county. 1t is urged by the people
of Martins Ferry that as many of the
offenders as possible be brought before
the Grand Jury and indicted.
: DR.. B. W.DAvIs, an uncle of All. g.
w. Mitchell, of this place, and who will
be remembered by some of the older res
ident of this county, died from grip at his
home in Marion, Ohio, on Wednesday of
last week, aged 70 years. He was born
in LOuden county, Va, moving thence to
Marion at an early age. From Marion
he came to this county, where he taught
school and practiced medicine, returning
to Marion 81 years ago. Among his ac
quaintances he was known as grand
old man" of upright character and rigid
integrity.

BRIDGEPORT WANTS WATER.

Just now the question of water works
is the all-absorbing topic in Bridgeport,
but as to the best way to get water there
is difference of sentiment. 4 Ken
tucky firm has proposed to erect works
and supply the town with fire plugs and
water, in case of fire, at a cost of $500
per year. In addition the firm would re-
ceiye large revenue from private con-
sumers. On the other hand, Martins
Ferry now proposes to furnish water for
the fire plugs for nothing, provided
Bridgeport lay a main connecting the
two places. For revenue Martins Ferry
is willing to depend on the private con-
sumers. To lay pipes from Martins
Ferry would cost, according to estima-
ton, $4,000. The interest on this sum
would amount TO $1,000, one third the
amount asked by the Kentucky firm.
The tax-paying and conservative busi-
ness men seemed to have enrolled them
selves largely in the interest of the Mar
tins Ferry projection on the ground that
it is the. cheaper and wiser course to
pursue. The non-taX- paying class, in
most instances, is in favor of an indepen
dent scale. A meeting of the Council
was called for Tuesday night to consider
the matter. The contest promises to be-
come interesting, but many event Bridge
port seems determined to have water.
Another argument in behalf of the Mar
tins Ferry plan is that better water can
be had from there than Bridgeport can
secure for herself, in case of an indepen-
dent plant.

WHEELING had genuine sensation
last week in the preliminary trial of DR..
John r. Pipes and Taylor Foreman,
charged with stealing a corpse from the
Infirmary graveyard last January. Some
ancient scandals relating to Miss E. n
Douglass, whose home is in this county,
west of Bridgeport, and to Kate Shank
land, formerly of Barnesville, and which
were ventilated in the Columbus Capital
and Wheeling Mems Letter last summer,
were dug up. DIR. Pipes was discharged,
but Foreman, who at the time of the al
legged stealing, was Superintendent of
the Infrmary, was held for his appear
ance before the grand jury.

WEDNESDAY EVENING of last week
just after eating supper, the youngest
daughter of VIM. Clark, of this place,
was suddenly siezed with violent sick
ness. DIR. Walker was called and admin
istered medicines An hour afterwards
Mrs. Clark and two other children we're
similarly affected. AS their illness in
dicated poisoning, an examination of the
dishes partaken of by the family for
supper was made, and some canned
peaches were found to be the cause of
the trouble. The peaches evidently dated
back some years. The inside of the can
was corroded and the tin eaten from the
iron by the fruit acid, forming an ex-
ceedingly poisonous substance. BY the
use of emetics the poisoned family were
kept from further serious effects. 1t
would be well for persons using timed
eatables to thoroughly inspect each can
opened, as it is possible in large canning
establishments for old stock to become
mixed with the fresh.

Gently achieved his first success in
case at law. This will be gratifying news
to his friends here, by whom he is re-
garded as young man of ability and
energy. OF the case the Winfield Courier
says: "On Saturday the court appointed
Joe Lafferty and James COttingham to
defend George Blair, who was shot after
he had broken into the Silverdale depot.
The crowd thought Blair's case hopeless
because it was SO plain a case against
him, but his attorneys did not think so.
They presented a formidable array of
witnesses and proved conclusiyely that
the young man was weak minded and
not morally responsible. The jury was
out but few minutes and returned
verdict of not guilty"
