The heavy rainstorm with wind and
electrical Accomplishments, which pass
ed over Bellaire and the surrounding
country yesterday, did no damage as
far as learned. The streets were wash
ed clean Of dust and debris and in the
country the rain did much for the
growing crops. For twenty minutes
the downfall was the heaviest seen here
this season, the capacity of the city's
drainage being taxed to carry off the
water.
There was another strike of small
proportions at Rodefers glass works
yesterday, but the trouble may be
bridged over before this item appears
in print. The packers who have been
receiving $3.50 a day, made demand
for $1.65 and the increase not being
granted by the management the former
quit at noon yesterday. AS there are
only a few hands employed in this de-
partment it is probable that the matter
will be speedily adjusted.
This will be generally observed as
holiday by the people of Bellaire, and
for the time business interests will
give way to pleasure and the more
serious duties of the occasion. The
Grand Army men and assisting orders
will parade at o'clock and at $3.50
p. m. Rev. Coffey will deliver the
memorial address at G. A. R. Hall.
The banks will be closed all day and
the barber shops in the afternoon. The
general delivery at the postoffice will
be open from to a. m. and from 5
to 6 p. m. Many pleasure excursions
into the country have been planned and
field day exercises at GAINESVILLE will
attract good crowd

Indiana field have returned to Bellaire
to spend their summer vacation and
more will follow as the factories sus-

in full blast again before September

Frank Archer got Al out of the As
delegates to the Senatorial Convention
chosen in Jefferson county Saturday,
and 16 or IS out of the 20 in Harrison
county According to Archer's friends
who are keeping tab on the matter, he
will have 11S or 100 delegates when the
Convention assemblies. AS only 102
are necessary to choice it looks as
though the name of the Republican
nominee will be Archer.
