Budget Of News Items from Our
Belmont County Neighbor.

About seven O'Clock yesterday morning a
fire was discovered in the stable of Henry
Grella corner of Forty-sixth and Jeffer-
son. The stable was occupied by Mr..
Ellard, his horse, very valuable one,
and harness and vehicles were burned.
The horse was valued a $500, and was in
sured, the building, belonging to Mr.. II.
Grella, was not insured. No damage was
done to the adjoining buildings. How the
fire originated is not known.
The mayor yesterday fined VIM. Barker
SO, and 30 days in Jail for stealing tools
from Isaac McFadden of Heatherington
coal mine. Bankers excuse was that some
one had stolen his tools and he proposed
to get even, and did not care whose tools
he had. As he had no money he will
be sent to st. Clairsviile
The people along the river front should
use their efforts TO have a work-house
established at some point. The commits
sioners refuse to accept prisoners at St.
Clairsville for petty offenses such as plain
drunks and drunk and disorderly. The
majority of these cases have no money
and it not good judgment for any of
these towns to keep them in jail and feed
them to only commit the same offense
over again. If these towns had a work
house to send these offenders to it would
stop large amount of this disorder. In
the last ten days, in Bellaire alone. there
has been eleven cases before the mayor,
ane not one cent for the city in the whole.
If the citizens of the river front push this
matter they can put stop to SO much dis
order.
