ty institute which has just closed at
Bethesda. DR.. S. C. Schumacher, OF
West Chester, Pa, appears to nave
been one OF the favorite instructors, and
his talks on nature study, plants and
animals are highly commended. As
will be seen in the review of the 1nstl-
tute given elsewhere, Bellaire received
the president in the distribution OF Of
fees for the ensuing year. The Bell

1t is understood Robert Workman,
Jr., well known farmer residing south
of Bellaire, is being urged by his
friends to come out for land appraiser
in the country district. Mr.. Workman
has shown superior capacity and Judg-
ment in his own affairs, and during
the three terms he has served as as
SCISSOR his work has been altogether sat
'isfactory. If he should be nominated
for the place his record would commend
him to the voters of both political par
ties, and an equitable valuation upon
the farm property of the township
would be assured.
One of the finest pieces of undertake
ing property ever brought to the city
is the new hearse of A. o. Mellott &
Sons, which arrived from Cincinnati
yesterday. The hearse has rubber
tires, is finished in black with hand
some drapery, and is mounted in
nickel and gold. The cost is said to be
between 1880 and $4,000.
The fact that it will be impossible
for veterans to secure their pensions
before the dates set for the national
encampment at Philadelphia will pre-
vent many from attending who would
otherwise do So The dates for the en-
campment are from September 18th to
9Th, and the time for sending Off the
vouchers is September 4th. This will
make it anywhere from the 8th to the
10th before the money can be secured.
The further fact that September 4th
is legal holiday will delay the matter
a day longer than usual Squire Mason
wrote to the department superintend-
ent at Columbus and asked if, under
the circumstances, the vouchers could
not be made out before the 4th, but
yesterday an answer was received re-
plying in the negative. United States
Pension Agent J. w. Jones holds that
no exception can be, made to the usual
rule and that vouchers filed before Sep
TENDER 4th will not be recognized. He
holds that the national committee is
guilty of an oversight in not ,arrang-
ing little later date for the encamp-
ment.
Republican candidates for decennial
appraiser in the city of Bellaire are
getting numerous, and by the I'd of Sep
TENDER rolls around the woods will be
full of 'em. Those who are already
understood to be in the field or in a re-
ceptive mood are w. G.. Cochran, w.
H. Thompson, and Charles Wise. The
nomination will take place at the same
time and place the delegates are
chosen for the Congressional conven-
ton.
Mich. Carter, a colored man of the
town, is in danger of contracting a
habit which may prove annoying to the
police. He was turned out Of the lock-
up Friday. and in a little less than five
hours was again landed behind the
bars. This is a record for speed that
is rarely beaten. Frank Good was
run in Friday night by Officer Keyser
for lettering, and dad" Love was
given $40 and sixty days for abusing
his wife. He has engaged apartments
at st. Clairsville.
Yesterday was a bad day for acct
dents at the Bellaire steel works. Geo.
Donald and Walter Fletcher were bad
ly burned by flying metal, and James
Emory had his foot mashed with fall
ing bar With the accident of George
Dorff at the mill mine, the day was an
unlucky one for the employees Of the
concern.
James Nolan and Joseph Hauck leave
Monday over the Panhandle for East
st. Louis, where they will work in a
bottle house.
There is much sympathy expressed
for Geo. Dorff, mention of whose in
jury is made elsewhere.
Those who wish to go to Pittsburg
Monday can go over the C.. & P. on
trains leaving at 4:30 and 8 O'Clock.
Half fare for the round trip. Tickets
good returning Tuesday.
Twenty-Five local employees of the C.
& P. took in the annual picnic at
Brady's Lake yesterday. About ten
others missed the train.
Miss Maggie Hofer, of the Third
ward, is among those who will go on
