RELLAIEE.
General News From the Metropolis
of Belmont County.

The political situation showed more
life yesterday than during the entire
campaign and both parties were hust-
ling, each one sanguine of election.
The Democrats have made an open.
straightforward campaign and have
not INDUCED in any mud singing.
Their ticket is a strong one, and it
is said by many citizens that it will
be victorious and will receive a large
vote from the business men. The Re
publicans are nearly all up for re-
election and seem TO have perfect con-
fdence In again being placed at the
head of the city government. They
are quietly lining up their forces for
Mondays battle and their camp is all
confident. In this spring campaign
there has been an clement that feels
that the government OF the city should
be different and at one time talked of,
bringing out a citizens ticket, but
failed in this attempt and it is now
said this element holds the power and
that whichever way they vote the cleo
ton will go. These citizens were near
ly all Republicans and as the city is
only about $50 Republican, it makes
this contest very close one with the
outcome very much in doubt
The oil well near Belmont church,
which was expected TO be in yesterday,
was delayed on account of the opera
tors running out OF coal, and also hav-
ing to ream out some casing.
Yesterday at high noon, at the home
of Mrs. Louise Faupel. in the Fourth
ward, occurred the marriage OF Miss

rice at the depot by their many
friends. The bride is a well-known
teacher in the city schools and is
highly accomplished young lady. The

MAD DOG.

The good people in the neigh
borhood of Fort Littleton have
been a good deal excited over the
appearance of a mad dog. Last
Wednesday a strange dog APP
peared in the community and bit
Dan Cromer's big "Shep" and
two dogs for Elijah Baldwin at
the mill The dog was not seen
for day or two, when he turned
up ON Sunday and bit the old
hound at the hotel and pig for
Mercer Hastings. 1t was felt
Monday morning that time had
come for prompt action, and sew
eral men went cunning for his
dogship. Fred Cromer got his
eye on him near the residence of
ID. H.. Myers, and in u moment
after, shot from his trusty gun
turned the dogs toes in the air.
The animals bitten have been
killed. Too prompt measures
cannot be taken against a dog
that shows any evidence of ra-
bies.

FINGERS SAWED OFF.

The many friends of james b.
Austin, former merchant and
postmaster at Saluvia, will regret
to learn of an accident that came
to him.
About a year and half ago,
Jim decided to relieve himself of
the cares of business; and so,
dropping the yardstick and can
ceiling stamp, he sold out to Bob
Speer, and went out to Pullman,
Illinois. Here he accepted po-
sition in the great car works, and
was getting along finely until the
evening of the tenth instant
when his left hand was caught
by buzz saw, and in a twinkle,
every finger of his left hand was
sawed off close to the hand.

GONE.

The News told you last week
that at the time of going to press
our little Mary was lying uncon-
scious. At half past two that
"wednesday afternoon, the poor
little soul breathed her last. For
about week prior to her death,
her suffering had been indescrib-
ably severe. The disease was
cerebro meningitis and much of
the time she was writhing in
commissions.
She was aged seven years, sew
en- months, and seven days. Du-
ring the past three years, she and
her sister Cora, four years older,
have had their home in our fami-
ly. We We're greatly attached to
the child, and it was a severe tri-
al to have to give her up; but her
loss to us, as keenly as we feel it,
is only what every other feels in
thus parting with a member of
ones family.
