not yet completed, that which has been done
greatly improves the appearance of that

Works on the Peninsula.
This evening the proposed ordin-

hands of the city and the crematory
on the summit of the hill to the Phila-
delphia concern which has been ne
gotiating with members of Council fcr
the contract for collecting the reruse
of the city and turning it into fert1l-
izer, will come up.
It is proposed to locate the plant OF
the Company, in case the measure as
at present drafted passes Council and
is accepted, on the Peninsula, on the
line of the Terminal railway, and 1t IS
the expectation of the Company to
not only reduce the refuse OF this city
proper at said plant, but also garbage
and offal from Benwood, Martins Fer
~, Bridgeport, Bellaire and Mounds
Vile. including the penitentiary. All
this stun would necessarily have to
be hauled through this city and taken
out to the Peninsula, either by rail
or wagon, and many citizens not only
think that this would not be a good
thing for the health Of the community,
but that the site is not proper one,
viewed from the standpoint Of public
policy. Some OF those who object
think the present site CT the crematory
should be retained as that of the new
plant, while others suggest a point in
Jonathan's ravine, between the two
tunnels of the Terminal road, as an
isolated locality, yet right on the rail-
road and convenient Of access.
The ball will probably be opened in
Council this evening, and it may be
that the whole matter will be re-
committed to the Committee, fer fur

THE EASTON CASE.
The Ball Player VIII Probably Prove q
Complete Aiibi

Complete Abb.
There were no new Developments in
the case Of Jack Easton yesterday, with
one exception, and that was in favor of
Easton. The crime for which he is
being held is said to have been commit
ted in the early part of September
Easton, according to the books of the
Aetna-Standard Company, for which
he has been working, was taken into
their employ on August 30th, conse-
qucntly he may be able to prove an
alibi, which his many friends hope he
can. Yesterday morning Easton was
in a very disconsolate frame of mind
and wept over the predicament in
which he is now placed.
The Nassau authorities will probably
arrive at Martins Ferry some time to-
Cay to Identify the prisoner, who, it is
understood, will return if wanted with
out requisition papers. George Dun
can has been employed as his attorney,
and, if necessary, he will accompany
his client to Nassau, n. Y.
Troy, n. Y, December 13-The crime
for which Jack Easton was arrested at
Martins Ferry, O., was the murder of
George Pitcher, at Nassau, this coun-
t., September 21st. Pitcher was in
charge CT some race horses at the
Rensselaer, County Fair, and on the
evening of that Day had some words
with Sam P. Allen. q fakir Allen
borrowed a knife from a by-stander
and plunged it into Pitchers abdo-
men. He ran away and when last
seen was going toward Troy.
Pitcher was taken to the Albany city
hospital. where he died the next day.
Sheriff Collins offered reward of $3.50
for the capture of the murderer. It
was learned recently that a William
P. Allen had been confined in the
Chariestown, Mass, prison, and his
portrait was obtained by Sheriff Col
Inns and recognized by witnesses OF
the crime as the portrait of the man
who stabbed Pitcher A copy Of this
portrait was last week sent to Mar
tins Ferry by Sheriff Collins.
A special dispatch to the Record
from Wheeling, w. Va, states that
Easton, the man under arrest at Mar
tins Ferry, worked in an iron mill
there since August Goth. and that if
the crime was committed September
21st he is not the man.
