Death Of an Old and Prominent Citizen
Yesterday.
Yesterday morning, at twenty min
utes of nine o'clock, John s. Trimble,
of the extensive plumbing firm Of Trim
BILE g. Lutz, died at the family resi-
dence. No. 1913 Fourteenth street, aged
sixty-three years.
Mr.. Trimble was one Of the well
known men Of Wheeling. No man
possessed the respect OF his follow citi-
zens to a greater degree; few had more
or warmer friends, and his death re-
moves one who will be regretted far and
wide, A prominent Mason, a member
OF the United Workman, an
active and influential Republican.
a leading business man, and an
old member OF the Fourth
street NJ. e. church, his life
was interviewer to an unusual degree
with the interests of the city aud its
citizens, aud his untimely loss is an
event to be greatly deplored. His III
ness extended over several weeks. and
a short time ago the patient underwent
an operation which, il was hoped, would
be beneficial, and result in his ultimate
restoration to health, but there was no
such result, and he gradually sank until
yesterday morning, when he breathed
his last.
In the plumbing business, which Mr..
Trimble followed with success for more
than a quarter Of a century, deceased
was widely known as an expert, and
possessed Of exceptional knowledge.
After conducting business for himself
for a time, be became a member OF the
firm OF Trimble &c Hornbrook, and then,
about ifteen years ago, a member Of the
firm Of Trimble & Lutz. In the latter
firm he had many very extensive con
tracts to look after, and became well
and favorably known far beyond the
limits Of this city, both In West Virginia
and In neigbboring States.
Mr.. Trimble was interested in various
business enterprises, and was noted for
his geniality, his integrity, and the
many warm friendships which he made.
His wife survives him.

The La Belle Conclave Adhesive Or

cellept Bungle last Monday night at
their hall, corner Thirty-6fth and ia

was the raising OF the following Broth

DR.. w. K. Stathers, G.. w. Hannah,
Aug. Z. Marshner, Q. j. DicKman,
Christ Viewig and Jno. P. Roth. They
did not ride the goat, as is usually done
In other Lodges; they rode o creature
called the Mule, and q who delights
In STOPPING up behind often. The Con-
claye has done away with the wind mill
and coffee grinder and substituted a
sausage grinder and an old fashion
fence rail, so you see the victims got
more riding than they expected. III IL

spired. However, everyone enjoys the
fun, even the victims, and after all was
over the conclave closed by snortlng
the following ode:
The Master Mogul mauled his maui once
more,
The Cash GRADER snatched the cash,
The outside snoozer opened the door,
And to Jake Steuernegel's all did pass,
where a fine oyster supper was prepar-
ed. All felt happy and so did the VIC

don, where they are to astonish the ma
tives at the Alhambra and possibly
other music halls. New York they in
tend TO overlook, regarding II only as a
way station en- route to Chicago.
As to their performance, it differs
from that OF the regulation acrobat
type 10 that It's daring is more pro-
nounced, lending it thereby IN original
ity of it's own. Their %tumbling is said
by those who have witnessed it to be
something entirely put OF the common.
They fly TO incomprehensible heights
and then indulge in gyrations as placid
ly as though they were turning cart
wheels" on terra-firma. The women
In all the encumorance OF ~petticoats
are said to be as accomplished in this
particular rs their brothers. A new
era is dawning for the stage, when
tights will be abolished and there will
not be a blush id a whole performance.
Whereof the Y. M. C. A. and Miss Fran
ces Willard should take notice.

L''-Ihs Qaau Onginhia Over a Dime.
The WoHn3d Eanl Badly Hars

About s O'Clock last evening there
was rather a ieriots ARRAY between
eolored men at ne Second ward market
house.
One Of the participants, named Willis
ssanard, a young colored man, who
has hitherto borne q good reputation,
was badly stabbed BY Win Lee, aud
late last night the wounded man was
reported in bad shape.
Both men Mid been drinking, and
while on the west side Of the market
house, not very far north Of the corner
Of Eleventh street, the two fell out
about a dime which win Lee claimed
Stanard owed him. The tive men
wrRngled for a few minutes, and then
Lee pulled a pen-kniie, with a blade
about two inches and q half or three
inches long, and plunged It into stan
ards abdomen. The knife penetrated
on the right side, about midway be-
tween the navel and the thigh, making
a wound about t-hree-Quarters Of an
inch long, but apparently two
or three inches deep. StanaTd did
not know he was cut at first,
according to a statement he made 70 a
REGISTER reporter, but the loss OF
blood o took the fight out Of him,
and when Omc6rs West and Herbert
arrived, In a short time, he was a fit
candidate for a hospital. Lee was
promptly captured and hustled Of to
the City Hall, and then the patrol
wagon was sent after Stanard, who had
been examined, In the meanwhile, by
DR.. S%tillyard. When the wagon arrived
Stanard's wound was very painful, and
be could not lie down, and was taken
10 the City Hall while resting on
his knees in the wagon. He was
taken into the lookup keepers room,
where an examination Of his wound
showed that 10 was bleeding Drofusely.
His shirt and underclOthing were satu-
rated With blood, aud q newspaper
which had been placed under mis- under
shirt, add over this cut, was also very
bloody. Stanard complained a great
deal OF the pain, and a physician was
sent for. Later the wounded man was
sent TO the Jail, and at half-past one
o'clock il was reported his wound was
stlll bleeding freely, and that ne was
dangerously hurt.
Stanard lives at No. 10 Fourteenth
street, where be has a wife and family.
Lee is q married man and recently
lived on the Island. He seems 10 have
a bad reputation, and no q familiar
with him seemed to be surprised last
night az what he had done. He has
been a whitewasher for some time and
has GpSa small jobs Of miscellaneous
work about town.
The police said late last night that
Stanard himself was addicted to the
habit Of carrying a razor, aud had once
CIT a young colored man Of this city.
