in the First ward The affair was
complimentary TO DIR. and Mrs. New
conner. who are visiting here from Eli
wood. Ind. The social features OF the
evening were diversified and tastefuliy
& arranged and reflect much credit upon
the good taste and ingenuity OF the
hostess. A supper, which tempted the
Z epicurean procllyities of the guests,
was served at eleven o'clock and the
evening upon the whole was past most
pleasantly. Those present were com
plimentary in referring to the very en-
joyable affair.
Cars on the B. B. & M. F. electric
line are now running straight throuSht
Bridgeport into Wheeling where tney
make the circuit around the -FOUR
teenth street loop and return. lhls
will be a convenience to Bellalre peo-
pie, who have business IN that city, as
is prevents the delay occasloned by
the transfer at Bridgeport. The APP
pearance of the blue cars upon the
streets of Wheeling yesterday attract
ed considerable notice and some We're
inclined to think them a part OF the
circus at first Impression.
The Belmont Central Trades and La
Dor Union meets here to-day and IL Is
possible the impeachment OF Secretary
Salisbury by the Trades Assembly OF
Wheeling may come up for considera-
tion. From the fact that one OF the
charges against Mr.. Salisbury is his
alleged friendliness to the Central I'm
ion. the members feel that it would
only be an act of justice to exonerate
him from any duplicity, Mr.. Salisbury
has many friends in the Belmont Dody
who look upon the action of the Wheel
! ing Assembly as persecution.
The coal mines in this locality are
not doing much at present and the en-
ployes hardly earn enough to justify
them in sticking to their jobs. AT the
Troll mines at the Junction, where Ia
men are employed in brisk times, the
men are hardly working fourth OF
the time At the Kidd mines the men
worked three and a half days last
week, which is better than the aver
age. Schid's are the only mines where
the men are getting anything like full
time. The mines OF the Pittsburg Coal
Co., will be in shape TO resume in
week or two.
Yesterday VIM H. Giffen received a
telegram from the War Department IL
reply to his inquiry in regard to his
son Ira While the information is moi
conclusive, it is sufficient to corPobor-
ate the impression that the Robert
Giffen reported to have died from vel
low fever is Ira Giffen, Of this vicinity.
The telegram stated there is no other
Giffen enlisted in Company Il" Eighth
cavalry, hence it is believed the de-
ceased is William Citizens son. The
department has, however, expressed q
determination to investigate the mat
ter further for the satisfaction OF the
folks here.

tlemen return.
Yesterday morning about 6 O'CLOCK
a fire started in a birds nest in the
cornice of the City Building and the
services of the chemical were necessary
to extinguish it. There were some
pigeons perched in the cornice wher
the blaze, which is supposed to have
originated from spark, started, ant
the way they scampered out was anus
ing to the spectators. Just about the
time of the fire an electric light wire
in the vicinity broke and this led some
to believe the fire came from tina
source, but this was simply coinci
dence.
