KDfl On a Prominent Street of Bellaire, v Last Evenin'1:. u Tho Victim was Mrs. Sarah Mnoro, of Belmont Street, Near Nine teenth, While Her Assailant was John Parks, a Well Known Citi* zen of the Town—The Police Very Reticent, and No Arrest Had Been Made Up to Midnight Last Night. Last evening Bellaire was very con siderably stirred up over an assault up on a lady, which cceured at a quarter past nine o’clock, on Belmont street, within half a square cf police headquar ters. The victim was said to be Mrs. Sarah Moore, a widow, who resides on Bel mont street, near Nineteenth, while her assailant was John Parks, a very prom inent citizen, secretary of one or two building and lean associations, and well known in business circles. No arrest had been made up to mid night last night, and the police wer® very reticent about the affair, but tele phonic messages were sent to this oitice concerning it, with the prediction that the police would probably want to keep the matter quiet. From what could be learned of the ailair under these circumstances, the facts appear to be as follows: Mr. Parks was walking along Belmont street with his wife and Miss Clara Moore, a step-daughter of Mrs. Moore, Miss Clara’s mother and father both be ing dead. Within about half a square of the City Hall, Mrs. Moore passed, and either spoke or attempted to speak to her step-daughter. Mr. Parks, ac cording to one account, accused Mrs. Moore of speaking to him. and on her denying this, he struck her and knock eil her down, cutting her face’ near one eye. She got upon her feet again, when Parks hit her again. Mrs. Mcore then went to a door step, a few paces away, and sat down, when it is a'licged Mr. Parks again went to her and endeavored to strike and kick her, when his wife and Miss Moore pulled him away and in duced him to leave the woman alone. The Parks and Moores are both Eng lish families, and have been on very fa miliar and friendly terms in times past, particularly during the lifetime of Miss Moore’s father. After the death of her parents Miss Moore made her home with her st< p-m >th< % and lat r ■> cur ed employment from Mr. Parks as a clerk. Latelj she has not been living wi'th her step-mother, and it is thought that Mrs. Moore attempted, last evening, to induce Miss Moore to return to her home, or that Mr. Parks thought that • was her object when she accosted her step-daughter, and hence his anger. Mr. Parks could not be seen to secure his side of the story, owing to the lace hour at which the information of the affair reached Wheeling. | -0 Attend the dinner and supper given, by the ladies of tiie Zano Stret M.
