MARTINS FERRY.

Our popular constable, VIM. Moore,
had quite chase yesterday afternoon.
A woman by the name Of Welsh, who
lives on Hanover street with her daugh-
ter, dealt with George Arbaugh, the
grocer. Not having the wherewith to
pay his and other bills, and wanting to
leave town, she quietly packed her goods
and sent for a wagon from Tweedy's
livery stable with a special request that
young man by the name OF Dave
Lewis to drive. Now 1t seems
as If Dave and the old lady'S daughter
were greatly attached to each other,
and Dave, knowing the circumstances,
knew what was required OF him. Ar
baugh got out an attachment on the
goods as soon as he found out they were
going to move, but it took little time
to do so, and by the time the constable
was ready Dave was going down Fourth
with the wagon load OF goods at three
minute gait, with the constable after
him, but Dave was little too quick Tor
him, and got his charge away In good
shape.
Yesterday was a gala day at the
MYRTLE aud Phillipsburg fishing camps
which are located just above this place

was played in the afternoon resulting
in a victory for the former. Watt Cline,

John Vickers, popular mill man,
met with quite painful accident yes
terday morning, while at Humphrey
Williams dry goods store, on Washing
ington street. 1t seems John went to
take some medicine from bottle that
was on one of the shelves, and an am
monia bottle, partly filled, was on the
same shelf, and he got hold of that in
mistake, and drank some Of the con-
tents. The druggist across the street
came to his relief, and brought him
around all right.
More than two hundred persons were
present from here and adjoining towns
TO witness the sport. After the games,
