A delegation will go up to Martins
Ferry to-day to make an effort to have
the congressional convention brought
here. At Steubenville the people are
much exercised over the prospect of
having the meeting taken elsewhere,
but it appears the matter is already de-
cided for Belmont county if she wants
it. The indifference at Martins Ferry
ought to help Bellaire's chances.
Yesterday Mr.. Carl Baron, an old Bel
laire boy, at present a resident of Col

Yesterday the druggists of the city
held a meeting at City Hall and it was
unanimously decided to adopt Sunday
closing hours, from 1890 to O'Clock
p. m. The practice will be introduced
next Sunday and will be continued if
found practicable. Few persons are
held to their business so exactingly as
the druggists, and this effort to secure
a modicum of the leasure enjoyed by
others should be cheerfully conceded
by patrons. In cases of emergency
druggists may fill prescriptions during
closing hours.
Yesterday the congregation and Sun
day school of the German Reform
church spent a very pleasant day

travel. Wen laden baskets were taken
along and refreshments were sold on
the ground. The affair was entirely
satisfactory to all participating.

JOHNSON AS BONDSMAN.
Did the County Auditor JeOpardize
the Interests of His County.

Did the County Auditor JeOpardize
the Interests of His County.
When County Auditor W. R. Johnson went
on the bond of Chief Deputy Treasurer a. P.
Swanstrom, under Indictment for forgery and
larceny, he jeopardized the value of the Sc
curity bond that he himself had given the
county in connection with the office of county
auditor. Consequently tomorrow there will be
a change among Swanstroms bondsmen, re-
sulting from the retirement of Mr.. Johnson.
When the deputy sheriff went to arrest
Swanstrom on a bench warrant, he found him
already aware that an Indictment had been
returned. He had, however, neglected the
opportunity to procure bondsmen in advance,
and consequently began a hustle for men to
60 on his bail. Fred Hammer, private secre-
tary to the mayor, was secured. and then Mr..
Johnson was approached He agreed to go
on the bond, but protested that in securing
his own bond Of S25, 600 for the county he had
Finally he consented to refer the matter to
the county attorney, who said that there
would be objection, despite the clause in
Johnson's application, and Johnson was ac-
cepted as bondsman.
Yesterday the auditor was reminded that In
making application for his own bond. he had
bound himself not to guarantee any one else
and advised to get off as possible. A
prominent attorne, said yesterday that il
was a questionable matter if in signing
Swanstrom's bond the auditor had not jeop-
ardiZed the county interests.
Mr.. Johnson considers this rather hard, in
view of his consultation with the legal ad-
visor of the county.

the Windsor, was short two speakers.
Mayor Kiefer sent regrets and Judge
Loren w. Collins. who was to have

long the affair until long after mid
night.
Three hundred covers had been laid
in the great Windsor dining room,
which was elaborately decorated for
the occasion with bunting and flags,
ing a centerpiece. Long before 8
o'clock. the hour set for the banquet,
the guests commenced to cOngregate
in the lobby of the hotel and there
they were kept waiting until nearly 10
o'clock, when the doors of the dining
room were finally thrown open and
the hungry Republicans poured In to
find seats at the long tables.
The menu was prefaced with a
prayer by the Rev. A. B. Meldrum,
and then by the time everyone was
ready for the speeches 1t was nearly
midnight. During the banquet an or
chestra played patriotic airs. and fol-
lowing the Roman punch the guests

Warwhoops.

There was apparently nothing in heaven

awhile the pianist, in response to a perfect
pandemonium of applause-his hair was long

That Caused q Second Lieutenant to
Mysteriously Disappear.
From Leslie's Weekly.
A young second lieutenant, who had
been graduated from the first class a
couple of months before the regular
graduation at West Point, had just
Joined his regiment and was walking
down the streets near the palace. He
stopped on the corner, and as he did
so an old grizzled soldier with
growth of beard on his face and with
cavalry sergeant's 9 stripe on his breech-
es, blue shirt and campaign hat. but
with no other mark of rank about his
uniform except his sergeant's stripe,
walked slowly down and stopped In
front of the lieutenant, looking around
at the different buildings. The young
officer fidgeted a few moments under
the manner in which the trooper ig-
nored his proximity, and finally turned
on him and said, sharply: Here, you
man. did any one teach you how to
salute?"
Eyes, SIR" drawled the trooper. as
he glanced at the youngster
We'll, knock your heels together,
said the young officer, and the trooper
came to attention with the precision OF
an old soldier.
Now salute he said and the troop
er's gauntlet came to the rim of his
hat and STAYED there until the young
lieutenant answered It, at the same
time demanding: Now remember this,
and don't let it happen again What
is your name. and what do you belong
to?''
without relaxing his position from
attention the old trooper again re-
spectfully saluted. and remarked dry
ly: my name is Samuel sumner. ana
In, bripadier general of the cavalry
brigade" whereupon the young lieu
tenant proceeded to copy as many col
ors of the rainbow with his face as was
nossible. and slipped away as soon as
he dared, forgetting even to apologize.
