STIRRED UP STRIFE
LIVELY TINES IN MARTINS PERRY OVER
MUNICIPAL MATTERS
Two Well Known Ciizsns Come to Blows, and
ThEs Have Been Numerous Wcriy Wars
the Past Few DayS

Excitement was at fever heat yester-
day In Martins Ferry over fight be-
tween two very prominent citizens. As
was stated In the REGISTER some days
ago, there has been = committee OF citi-
zens organized for the purpose OF en-
joining Council from contracting any
more debts, and also from paying for
what they have contracted for, when
there is no money in the treasury to do
the work. Among the latter class
was Mr.. Alex. Potter's bill for
plans and specifications for sewerage
system and also establishing grades all
over the city. Mr.. Potter went TO Jno.
s. Cochran, q prominent attorney, and
one OF the committee, and asked him
for an explanation, stating that II was
unfair for the Committee 10 walt until
he had completed his work and then en-
Join Council from paying him, and also
saying they shonld have done this when
he first started 10 on his work. The two
gentlemen got very hot over the matter
and almost came to blows. After the
CoancIl meeting on Tuesday night, c.
C. Cochran, brother of John s., tack
led the Councilmen. and especially Jno.
Henderson, President OF the Council, for
not paying a claim that he had against
the city for filing Fifth street. Mr..
Henderson told Mr.. Cochran that his
brother, John 5. Cochran, with the rest
of the Committee, had said that they
could not pay II on account OF there be-
ing no money In that fund. Mr.. Cochran
denied the fact that his brother had
made any such statement, and IL looked
as IL there would be trouble al one time
but they finally separated. Yesterday
John s. Cochran met President Hender'
son, and took him TO task Tor making
the statement he made the night before
to his brother, and getting pretty hot
he struck Henderson over the head with
his umbrella. Henderson returned thu
blow with his umbrella, and
the two clnched and stayet
in that position until they were
separated by some outsiders. Mr..
Henderson, 1t is claimed, could have
used Mr.. Cochran up In pretty bad
shape, but refused to do so on account
OF his being in bad health. This Il
hardly the ending OF their trouble, al
there is some pretty bad blood between
the members Of the Council and thu
Citizens Committee. City Solicitor
Pratt had two injunctlons served or
Council yesterday, In behalf OF the
| Committee.

ing and successful day of the Teachers

TER, it is the most successful meeting
of its kind ever held in the county.

opening song beginning the exercises al
9 o'clock In the morning; Prof. Crago
led In devotional exercises, the roll call
showed eighty-two teachers present,
and the song America" was sung with
vim.
Prof. Houck opened the discussion OF
topics, in giving methods OF teaching
| reading. He advised the teachers TO
continue on in teaching reading by
their own method, II 1t be good one.
The Professor said to teach the word
first, then the way to spell. II reading
is laugh by the word method, and little
attention is paid to spelling, poor spell
ers result, was the teaching OF the Pro-
fessor. He said: IF would examine
a teacher in any one branch, that branch
would be reading, by all means. Make
the child read plainly and distinctly.
Teachers, don't rush the child In read
ing; better stay In the old book a little
longer. Don't have the child TO read
unless he knows the words" Prof.

many questions with when and
who, and gave other valuable
hints. Prof. Crago then discussed
the objects OF teaching the study. He
advocated tesching patriotism, and
thought geogra ply and history should
be taught together. Writing was dis
cussed sin a spirited manner by Mr..

sons:
1. It has something Of the flavor and
OF the qualities OF those higher-priced
sponged fakes, such as Sea Foam, Snow
Drift. etc, but sells at about 4 cents
per pound less. Its small size aud

1t was q Fabrication.

The yarn to the effect that Demo-
cratic members of Council were afraid
to have a meeting, Tuesday night, be-
cause Mr. Snafer intended to resign as a
Gas Trustee, is amusing, in view OF the
fact that Republican members were the
first to leave the City Hall, some OF
