MARTINS FERRY.

Deputy Sheriff Darby was in the city
yesterday in regard to some trouble that
the Belmont Brick and Tile Company
and the firm that put in their patent
dryer are having. The dryer was guar
anteed to dry $4,000 green brick every
twenty-four hours, and we are informed
that it will only dry $4,000, hence the
trouble, and law suit will be the out
come II the difference is not made up
some way.
Our attention was called to the quail
ity of brick that was put In Hanover
street, and we must say that they are
In as bad condition In some places as

BRIDGEPORT.

Two young men from the eclat Of
Wheeling made things hum In the vi
cinity of Bridgeport laStMOnday. They
drove out 10 the-ROad House, accOmpa-
MED by two young women OF sOiled
morals. If they were not intoxicated
before they reached the house they GER
tainly were when they left. IL was
dusk as they came along the pike, and
rs a demonstration of their hilarity they
got out and captured several lanterns,
placed there to warn passers-by Of OBJ
structionS. When Mr.. Greer, the
Waterman on the pipe line, discovered
their depredatiOnS, he Immediately tel
ephOned 70 Wheeling and the parties
were apprehended and the lanterns re-
turned. The young men may consider
themselves fortunate that they got of
so easily. The law usually handles
these kind Of capers rather roughly.
Quite a number Of railroad men from
Bridgeport left for st. ClairSville yes
terday afternoon to attend the funeral
Of Brakeman Jacob Boggs, who was
killed az Tunnel siding, near Maynard,

Bridgeport. IL was terrible atlliction
to all his friends, but especially so TO
his betrOthed The young lady, who
was to have married Mr.. BOggs soon,
attended her lover to the grave.
The Wheeling Bridge Company
started TO lay their tracks for the cleo
trio motor az the end OF the bridge in
Etnaville Yesterday morning. The
Bridgeport Council have not yet granted
them the right OF way and accordingly
Marshal Keller, Officer DOnley and sew
eral others went up and ordered the
men to stop work, which was done.
Council will meet the first Tuesday of
October and then action will probably
be taken on the matter.
A large dance was given at John

The WILDER Company.

The WILDER company at popular prices
hold the boards at the opera house three
nights next week opening Monday the
23rd. The Trinidad Ne,0s of Oct. 2ud
says Of this company; Last night the
theatre going public were delighted and
gratifed by the performance of the Glen.
encedu Case By the excellent WILDER com,
pany, Miss Lizzie Kendall. the truly
lovely star of the company, captivated
the hearts of the audience 10 the portrayal
OF the beautiful but tickle liza" as she
did hat Of the susceptible "Clemenceau."
We have not had the pleasure Of witness
ing her equal as a dramatic artist for
many a day on the stage of Jaffa's opera
house. MIR. Phillio as Monsieur Ritz"
the devoted friend of "Clemenceau." was
played in a manner which rivited the at
tention of the auditors. 1t was certainly
a strong impersonation. Miss Olive Mar
tin as The Mother OF liza" was excellent.
The rest of the company did finely In
their parts.

SPECULATION as 10 the probable presl-
Dental nominees even thus early forms q
very interesting feature of the news
papers. In the mass OF good Democratic
material there is one name which the
threatened trouble with Chile has brought
into conspicuous prominence in the public
mind. 1t is that ot VIM. G. Whitney,
the founder of the navy, still in process of
construction. but upon which this govern
ment may at any moment be forced to
stake its honor. A lawyer of brilliant ac-
complishments, of the rarest executive
ability, a protege of Tilden and an i'm
portant factor 10 the vast reforms which
were carried out in New York, with a
record as secretary of the navy which was
never surpassed by any man who has held
the portfolio, Mr.. Whitney unites the
elements of a powerful presidential
possibility and the conditions are con-
ceivable which might place him at the
head Of the Democratic national ticket.

LAST NIGHTS PLAY.
A Large Audience Pleased with .'The
Old Homestead.v

There was a large audience present at
the opera house last evening to witness
Denman T~hompson's well known play,
The Old Homestead.
The story is a simple narrative of New
England life. with no plot or melo-drama
to interfere with its naturalness. Old
fashioned characters with homely country
ways, which are in sharp contrast with
those of the city when the scene shifts to
New York, appeal strongly to the feelings
Of the audience.
The story as presented last evening
was IN the hands OF a thoroughly
competent company. Archie Boyd as
Joshua Wnitcomb' was natural and
personated the character 30 that its vary
ing shades OF humor and pathos were
fully brought out.
James f. Dean as ICY Prime and
W. W. Allen as Seth Perkins" were
two typical down casters, with accent and
manner unapproachable. Frederic Sand
ford as Jack Hazard" dresses and acts
