TIE last Atlantic City excursion to
be given by the b. & o. passed east last
night. Like all the others that have
been run this summer, it WAS patronlz-
cd literally by Bellaire people. II
would be ali interesting thing to know
just how many Bellaire people nave
awaited themselves of an opportunity
to visit eastern and lake resorts this
ysar and what amount of Bellaire cash
has been diverted into such channeis.
1t is certain the latter item could not
be expressed under five figures. Among
those who left last night were: MISS
Jeanett Rosser, Miss Maggie Kern,
Andy Kern, A. Friedman, Nose Ellkln,
Jacob Schindewolf, Thornton Archer,
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Carp, Emil Ellkln.
The knights of st. John leave at
$3.50 o'clock next Sunday morning for
GAINESVILLE, where they take part i'll the
church dedication at that place. Inc
knights meet for drill tonight, but 1t
is not likely any exhibition of drill
work will be given on Sunday. the
Knights and their friends who accom-
pany them will return Sunday night at
II o'clock.
At high noon yesterday a wedding
took place at the office of Squire Frank
Mason The contracting parties were
Andrew L. Lewis, of Pittsburg, and
Miss Justine lanai, whose parents re-
side en- South Belmont street, in the
Second ward. The Lamall's are
French, and Lewis came here with F'us-
ner Bros. show five weeks ago, and
met the lady who yesterday became his
wife. Lewis performed feats Of strength
and did comic sketches with the Fust-
ners, but when the show got into hard
lines he left it and sought other en-
ployment here The circumstances in
which the young people met and their
sudden infatuation lends tinge OF ro-
nance to the union consummated yes
terday
The first of next week Ed. l.. Moon
leaves for New York City where, he
will resume his position with the
Blaney attractions which open the sea-
son at Trenton, N. j., on September
18th. Mr. Moon will make the tour of
the country from ocean to ocean with
the shows, and expects to be on the Pa
cific coast the latter part of the winter.
1t is possible Ohio valley towns may be
taken in on the way west.
A number of persons who went to
Harvey, H., with the Bellaire Stamping
Company, are returning to this city to
secure jobs. They are inclined to think
Bellaire as a substantial manufacturing
centre offers as good opportunities for
work the year round as any other town,
and perhaps little better. AS stated,
several have accepted positions here,
and Frank Kaufman and Bert Blank
ney are the latest arrivals.
1t is unfortunate that the First ward
hose company and Council could not ar
rive at an understanding which would
have prevented the impairment of the
department, as has resulted by the
withdrawal of the former 1t was stat
ed yesterday that five of the old mem
bers will make an effort to organize a
new company, but on the other hand
this is denied by some of the firemen,
who claim enough members cannot be
secured in the ward to make the organ
ization effective From the talk of a
prominent member of the department
the break between the Mechanics and
Council resulted from a misunderstood
ing, and it may not be too late yet to
patch the matter up.
The Pittsburg papers, in speaking of
the escapaGe OF JOS. Brannen. Ed.
O'Mailey and Carroll Fox, and the re-
covery of the money, give all the credit
to the Pittsburg sergeant, while the re-
verse is really the case. The officers
up there succeeded in getting but $S5
from the boys, and it was Marshal
Johnston who recovered the $3.50 from
between the soles of one of the lads
shoes. The boys were brought home
by the marshal and turned over to
their parents, and owing to the tender
age of the offenders they will not likely
be prosecuted.
The letting of the contract for city
lighting was leading topic for dis
cussion among citizens yesterday. A
friend of the Belmont Light and Power
Company, which was the successful
bider, said to the Register: 1T means
an annual saving to the taxpayers OF
S2,93S and light 365 days in the year
instead of out night each month. 1t
also means ample street lighting during
