nishipgs of the st. Cloud Hotel from ]. |
r. Dunlap and M. f. Noll. The price
paid was $4,000 and the new proprie-
tors will take possession between this
date and January 18th. AS proprietor
of the Bellvue Mr.. Smith made a wide |
reputation as one of the most genial |
and capable landlords in the Ohio Val
ley. Mr. Boyer, the gentleman who is
associated with him, comes from Sis
tersville with the highest recommends
tions as business man and citizen.
We understand that the new manage
mcnt will make no radical changes in
the hotel and the rates will remain as
at present.
On some of The now mouster freight
engines built f,r the Baltimore y Ohio
by tho Pittsburg Locomotive Works the
new Bell Spark Arrestor, inv nted by
M. j. Snowdeu Bell, has been applied.
The new arrangement consists of a
double perforated detecting plate, and
the disposition of the netting in series
of inclines, with no horizontal surface
except a very narrow one on each side
oS the exhaust pipe. 1t is said that this
arrangement not only prevents the es-
cape of so many live sparks, but it pre-
serves the life of the netting, and is,
therefore, more economical and effective
than any spark arrestor now in use on
any other road.

day. Attorneys Way and A. D. Follett
appeared for Mr.. Devol and L. w. Ell
lenwood for the State, the Prosecuting
Attorney being absent. 1t was argued
that the course of the bullet fired
showed conclusively that Devol had
not aimed his revolver at Newton and
on that ground the verdict was set
aside and new trial granted Devol
