CONSERVATION and wild-eyed excitement
are rife in gsstronomic circles.

strike among Palace Hotel Walters comes
the informal that c. Z. Claffey, veteran

is the unanswered question that issues from
the trem bling lips OF the pale and hollow
Rourmsnds.

well-known Mercantile Lunch restaurant
was closed up by the Sheriff
No one could understand il. The business
Of the place had been frst-claSs and extern

neighborhood of the Stock Exchange build
ing patronzed Claffey and tipped his wait
eTs in princely style.
Some say that it was this lavish tipping
of the walters that WAS st the bottom Of
Claffey's downfall. But there may have
been other causes. The shutting up Of the
Mercantile Lunch was the sequel for a host
of inquiries after Claffey's whereabouts
But Claffey's whereabouts didn't become
apparent. Then the absen: ones friends
said that he bad become weary of the noise
and hustle OF a great city, and had gone

men were engaged in the operation,
and they were believed to have started
for Wheeling. The police here were
instructed by Lieut.. Cans to be on the
lookout as they p%atrolled their beats.
Several efforts were made to get into
communication with Moundsville alter
the first report came, but all were IN
vain.
The ~postofice there has been robbed
onCeo or twice before, considerable money
and other valuables being secured by
the thieves.

FOR THE PRIZE FIGHT.

|
A Large Crowd Departs at u Late Hour
by steamer,
There was a scene OF much activity
on tho wharf last night. A steamboat
and barge lay at tho wharf, destined
Tor the scene OF the Howley,B olen prize
fight, to take place at day-broak this
morning. There YER many conflict
ing rumors as to where tho fight would
be, but all the ticket buyers could learn
was that ii they boarded the boat they
would reach the right place. A large
crowd embarked, aud ut So u head the
gate money" will be q considerable
item.
Until tho boat pulled out, about II 80
y. M, the wharf and Water street side
walk were %thronged with people. The
passengers willeYidently not get hungry
nor thirsty on their night ride, and US
for sport, there was no sign OF u lack OF
tho pOraphernalia.
The boat first pulled up the stream,
but after u short III turned and came
back, and was soon out OF sight around
the bond. The fight was understood to
be set for 4 Il. NJ. near tho Belmont and
Monroe county line, on the Ohio side.
Whether this il reliable only the report
US to where it occurs will show.
Both the contestants had confident
admirers, and q good lot OF money will
change hands in addition to the $500
stakes.
There was a IN that q concerted
effort had been made by the
three West Virginia sheriiIs OF
the adjoining counties to prevent the
fight, and that an officer was in pursuit
with a fleet team, while arrangements
had been perfected to use telephones
to communicate, but this was probably
only another OF tho rumor for which
no responsible source could DO found.
