Budget Of News Items From The Bel
mont County Metropolis.

Last evening the GAINESVILLE delega-
ton Of the Weems boomers passed
through the city on its way to Martins
Ferry. There were five delegates in
in the crowd led by Major E. T. Petty,
who will present Mr.. Weem's name
to the convention. The other delegates
were G. A. Colpitts, Esq, w. E. Emer
son, Jno. Price and l.. P. Bailey. All
were enthusiastic for their candidate
but the nature of some of the claims
lead to the belief that they are based
more upon desire than fact. w. G.
Major, delegate from Kingwood
township, was also "a member of the
party. Among the prominent Barnes
vile Republicans accompanying the
delegation was w. G. Hilton, the
Fourth ward sachem. who calamity
stood aside to make room for Major
Petty upon the ticket. Chas. Kildow,
of Bethesda, one Of the two Holdings
worth men in the Belmont delegation,
also came in on the same train.
The agent of the Mountain City Elec-
trio Light Company was in the city
yesterday taking orders for wiring for
street fair booths. If indications are TO
be relied upon, the booths and grounds
will be well illuminated. Some who
have taken space have contracted for
as many fifty incandescent lights. The
entrance arch will have one of the fin
est electrical displays ever seen in the
city.
The U. R. K. of P. Committee will
not depend altogether upon the midway
and the big pumpkins to attract peo-
pie to the fair but go after some of the
big guns of both political parties to
help things along. Correspondence is
being already done to secure the pres
ence of Bryan and Mclean when they
make the tour of the State and Judge
Nash will also be brought here for one
day if the Republican committee of the
county will cooperate with the Knights
for that purpose. Could these distin-
guished leaders be induced to come,
which appears altogether likely, Bell
aire will have all the people she can
possibly take care of.
Within a very recent date 1T was
considered a rarely to see steel car
on any of the railroads entering Bell
aire, but now they are to be seen pass
ing through on the B. & 0. almost
daily. The new cars are models of
substantial work and it would appear
that neither time nor hard knocks
would soon incapacitate them for ser
vice. There is not stick of wood
about them and fire can have no more
effect upon them than it would upon
G clay bank. The next thing will be
to have box cars and passenger coach
es made of such substantial kind
brought into general use.
Yesterday afternoon while walking
upon the B. q. & C. railroad bridge
over the creek, John He'll, the First
ward butcher, fell, injuring himself
quite painfully. He was carried to his
home where surgical attention was rem
dered. On examination it developed
the fact that no bones were broken in
the fall and with proper care the pa
tient should be out in few days.
Yesterday afternoon a portion of the
Monroe delegation passed through the
city on their way to the Congressional
didn't stop off long or mingle to any
considerable extent with the local
bosses which fact was considered sig
nifcant. The Monroe delegates have
their own card to play in to days
event and to all appearances they are
not soliciting advice from Belmont as
to which trick upon which to ring in
the trump.
Pres. ]. NJ. Keresy, of Bethany Col
lege will lecture in the Christian church
tonight.
The wedding of Mr.. Phillip Young,
resting west of the city, and Miss
Susa Hackman, of South Eoff street,
Wheeling is announced for the 9th.
