hands full watching the Pittsourgers,
who tried to take the town. Ten OF
them we're placed under arrest and
taken tofthe lookup, where orders were
given that they would not be released
on bail.

the house Of ill-fame at 1911 Eoff street
and attempted to take possession OF the

| Chas. Sweeney, for being disorderly,

Gallagher was making an intoieraole
nuisance by himself, and cursed Officer
Terrell. so he will answer to two
charges. Officer Lukens had his clothes
torn in settle with one fellow.
BADLY CUT.
One Pittsburg man, giving his name
as Albert Joyce. had an ugly cut In his
head, which had probably come In con-
tact with broken glass. He wandered
down to the Eighth ward, where Dr.
J. II. Pipes took several stitches in the
wound. He stated that he received the
wound while trying TO pass two men
who were fighting.
Only ten arrests were made oy the
police here, but it was because the
force was insufficient at the time. One
of the women who came up street, wore
q loose gown with an old hat, and stag
gered along in a beastly state of intoXi-
cation. The exeursionists could lind
nothing to drink here, as the saloons
were all tightly closed.
Probably half hundred Wheeling
people got on the boat to go to Mounds
Vile, and many of them returned over
! the Ohio River and Is. IL 0. roads.
There was but one fight on the trip,
and a telephone message from Mounds
vile last night reported little disturb
ance in that city.
Among the Wheeling people who went
down on the boat was youth OF seven
| teen years, who belongs TO an excellent
family. An abandoned woman at once
practiced her wiles upon him, and he
proved an easy victim.
DIsGRAcEFUL CONDUCT.
They pulled cigarettes together in
] the cabin and fondled and Kissed each
| other, much to the delight OF the passen-
gers. When the steamer returned to the
wharf in the afternoon the woman ana
youth stood at the guard rail, and when
the small boys on the wharf recognized
the Wheeling lad, they sent up sue
cession OF jeers and cat-calls, which he
acknowledged by dofing his hat and
making a most profound bow.
The woman was plainly intoxicated,
but no such excuse can be made Tor
the boy. He placed his arm about her
waist, and coolly and deliberately kissed
her. In the presence Of fifteen hundred
people on the wharf. Kissed her not
once, but several times. 1t was a dis
gushing exhibition. The woman made
such an impression upon the boy that
she easily prevailed upon him to ac-
company her to Pittsburg. II he re-
turns physically perfect his parents
will have cause for congratulation.
In leaving the wharf on the down
trip the boat caught in the ropes at
tached to Shriver s sand barges, and
broke one or two, while Mr.. Shriver
! cut another In order TO prevent the
steamer from upsetting the barge.
Pilot Jas. Mcdonald Of the Jay s.,
became entagled in the ropes, and
his watch was jerked out OF his pocket,
and fell into the river.
BOARDED BY U. 5. AUTHORITIES.
Mr.. Shriver at once made complaint
| before United States Commissioner B.
j. Campbell, placing his damages at
500, and attachment papers were is
sued by that official. Capt. Lee An
schultz got wind of the affair, at Mounds
! VILE, and returned to Wheeling by rail.
| The papers were served in the presence
OF Deputy Marshal Elliott aud Sheriff A.
A. Franzheim. The boat officials
offered to satisfy the claim for reason
able damages, and were allowed to pro-
coed to Plttsburg. Deputy Elliott en-
tered the bar room for the purpose OF
ascertainirg II liquor was being sold
while the steamer was lying at the
| landing. He was found that such was
not the case, or the boat owners would
| have had to answer to another charge.
The news of the arrival OF the boat in
| the morning, and the arrests which fol-
lowed, served to draw an immense
| crowd, which filed the landing when
the boat returned. The night police
| force had been called out in the mean
| time, aud the patrol wagon with eight
officers was at the wharf. The pres
ence of the officers had good effect,
and there were no more disturbances
during the afternoon.
RETURNED by RAIL.
Many OF the excursionists who valued
| their personal safety, or who were not
| quite so debased in morals as the crowd
upon the steamer, did not get on the
boat after leaving it at Wheeling, but
returned to Plttsburg by rail. About
| 100 tickets were sold at the B. 81 o.
station for the Clio o'clock train. There
was big crowd at the b. & o. depot,
and the excursioniSts were easily recog-
nized by their wornout appearance,
few Of them having slept since Friday
| night. There were also number OF
women from the boat, who passed the
time in playing "seven-up" in the
coaches, or doing on the cushions.
One tall fellow stated to a reporter
that he would not accept 500 as the
price Of his returning upon the boat.
! In the crowd was McKeesport news
paper man, whose hat had been stolen
