A sLAVISH CELEBRATION.
The "Jurai" Washington Society of Mingo
junction Has Blowout.

OunCliOn mas Il DlONbut'
Special to the Register.
Steubenville, O., August 2.-Yester-
day was a gala day for the Slavish pop
ulation in Mingo Junction, and delega-
tiOns of Hungarians were on hands
from all over this county and joined
in the parade which was headed by
two bands, with John Savados as chief
marshal, fully $50 being in line. The
business houses and residences were
decorated in honor of the celebration.
Very interesting ceremonies took place
at City Hall, where George Kostic and
Mary Vonick made speeches and pre-
sented the Mingo Slavish Association
with a flag. The speeches of accept
ance were made by p. V. Roonanick, Of
Pittsburg, head President of the Slav-
ish societies, and George Kokostick,
President of the Mingo lodge. The So
ciety was named George C'Juraj," as
it is called in Slavish) Washington
Slavish Society, of Mingo Junction.
The celebration ended with a ball,
which lasted until this morning, an or
chestra from Braddock furnishing the
music and the figures in dancing re-
minded readers Of poetry of the de-
scriptiOn Of the "brigands who danced
by the freight on the blue Albanian
hills" The Slavish make up a good
portion of the population of this county
and they are industrious. The speeches
yesterday were as full of loyal senti-
ments as could DE expected from fol-
lowers of Kossuth. Mary Vornick
who presented the flag, is pretty Slav-
ish girl who graduates from the Mingo
schools next year. Her father is known
as King John" and she is styled the
Princess" and her hand is much
sought by the young Slavish of that
place The next generation of the
Slavish will be intelligent and free
from the customs brought here from
Hungary by the present generation.

cial)-The case of Magnolia Williams and

der OF 7. S. Williams. the womans nus
hand. was called In the County Court To-
dav. The severance Of the indictments

The counsel for Mrs. Williams. believing
that a strong feeling OF prejudice existed
in the county against her. which would

tire dav was spend arguing the evidence
on this point. The change was hnaiiy

tinued 10 the August term of our court.
Notwithstanding some dissatisfaction
about the result and the threats OF Lynch
