at the home of Squire Frank W. Mason
in the Second ward. The groom's
home is at Neff's, and the brides pa
rents reside at Pinch Run. Both are
well known young people in their re-
spective communities, and are the re-
cipients of many good wishes from
numerous friends.
Yesterday morning when an attempt
was made to open the safe N the
freight department of the G. & p, it
was discovered that bolt had slipped
from it's place and that the door stub
bornly refused to swing upon its
hinges. The services of a Wheeling
man were secured, but after several
trials he gave up the job, and an expert
from the Barnes Lock and Safe Com
pany, Of Pittsburg, had to be brought
here. The efforts of the latter We're ef-
fective, and late in the day the contents
of the safe were available for use.
The Republicans will have a rally
here on Saturday evening, the 2Sth,
with Judge Nash. Congressman White,
of Mississippi, Congressman K. w.
Taylor, of Columbiana county, and ].
J. Gill as the spellbinders. 1t is under
stood that Mr. Gill, being no orator,
will be relieved of the embarrassment
of attempting speech but will be given
prominence by being allowed to pre-
side Mr.. White is colored gentle
man, and he is expected to whip the
colored voters of his race into line, as
some of them nereabouts have recently
shown a disposition to use their own
Judgment upon matters political. There
are, however, colored men in Bellalre
who are moved by conviction and they
are capable of telling Mr.. White SC II
they take the notion.
The work of driving the wells be-
low the city has become tedious work
lately, owing to the nature of the
stratas met with No rock is encoun-
tered and at first the bed of the river
appeared to be of pure gravel formation
to the depth of twenty-five feet or bet
ter. Some of the borings made within
the past few days have been through
sand which is harder to penetrate than
the gravel Engineer c. A. Town, who
has charge Of the work, expects to be
detained here for week or more yet
before the information desired is all
secured.
The election officers will have no
snap of it this year in Bellaire. The
vote upon the bond issue for a new city
building and the electric light franchise,
together with the vote of decennial land
appraiser, will necessitate four separate
or
each clerk. The presiding judge will be
compelled to write the name Of each
voter eight times, and in all the names
will have to be recorded sixteen times.
1t looks as though the judge and clerks
will earn their three dollars and few
will be sorry that they haven't got the
job.
The contract for furnishing stone for
pixies Nos. and 8 has been relet to |.
C Baker at his original bid Of slips.
The contract for furnishing the stone
for all the pixies was first let to Ma
loney & Schall, but subsequently the
township trustees passed an order that
the stone should all be ready to spread
by December list. Maloney &c Schall
were unable to complete the work in
the time prescribed, and the work was
divided. Maloney's bid was $1.091a.

Joseph Clements, in the Fourth ward,
Friday night, for Rev c. P. Proudfit,
the new minister Of the United Presby-
terrain church, was a conspicuous sue

closer acquaintance of pastor and con-
gregation resulting therefrom will be
of mutual benefit Rev. Coffey, of the
First Presbyterian church, and Rev. TIE
Wrinkle, of the Second church, were
present and others from the sister
churches who accepted this opportunity
to manifest a fraternal interest in the
progress of their co-workers.

Rev. M. J. Slutz, the new presiding
elder. A duet was sung by Mrs.
Holmes and Miss Eva Lichtenberger.
The Suburban Brick Company has
been greatly hampered during the past
ten days because of the car famine
which appears to be universal with the
railroad companies entering Bellaire.
Last week the company filed numerous
requests for cars, but not tenth of
the number desired were forthcoming.
The Georgetown yards are overstocked
with brick and unless some of them can
be shipped away it will necessitate the
plant being shut down.

spending Sunday at East Liverpool.
