INSURANCE MATTERs-Now that the
smoke OF the Chicago fire has cleared
away, our insurance men have had an
opportunity to ascertain their losses.
We have it from the best authority that
our Wheeling companies will not lose
in the aggregate more than $4,000 by
the Chicago fire. As there are some
five or six of them carrying this loss
it will not fall severely on any Of them.
We are also informed that about sew
enty companies in the country are
ruined by the Chicago fire, and that,
perhaps, not exceeding thirty others
will be forced to wind up on account OF
their losses. In these latter companies
our citizens hold policies representing
not exceeding $40, 900 insurance. and on
these policies there has been paid as
premiums about fifty per cent. OF that
amount. Of course, all such policies OF
insurance are being replaced by policies
in other companies, by the holders, and
as speedily as possible. Taking it all
in all, Wheeling hasin great measure
escaped the blow that has fallen on the
insurance interests Of nearly every other
principal city in the Union.

THEATRE LAST NIGHT.-The rem.
dition of Shakespeare masterpiece
Hamlet, was, as we predicted it would
be, in the hands of such distinguished
artists, simply superb. No such acting
has ever before been seen on the boards
of Wheeling. We have always con
sidered Mr.. Wallack's Hamlet a mas
terpiece equal in all respects to Booths
of to-day or to Murdoch's, Grahams OF
the elder Booths of the days before the
stage was degraded to the leg-drama,
He was ably supported, especially in
Mrs. Caroline Richings Demands
Ophelia. This lady sang all the origi'
nal music OF the play most sweetly.
Her acting won her round after round
Of applause. We hope to see the house,
tonight, filled in every part. The
comedy Of Money is, in our view, with
the exception Of the Honeymoon, one
of the finest in the English language,
and to see it performed by such actors
as compose the Wallack combination
troupe is worth twice the price of adj
mission. We again assure our readers
that no com pany, even family approach
ing this, in point Of talent has ever
PLAYED in Wheeling.

Piano with high sounding name, in
no wise superior, when a sic year guar
antee is given with each one Of these.
The already famous Eureka Organs we
need not refer at length to. Many read

who wish to buy will buy no others,

night a window in John Wilkes store,
corner of Division and Chapline streets.
was broken by some one who threw a
brick through it. Willke went at once
before Squire Clohan and obtained a
warrant charging John Roth with being
the person who threw the stone. The
prosecuting witness proved BY two boys
that Roth was standing in front OF the
store when the window was broken and
that he afterwards ran up the alley be-
tween Chapline and Eoff streets. The
defendant proved that he went home at
5 o'clock in the evening and did not
leave it again until arrested. The JUS
tice last night delivered his opinion
discharging Roth from custody.
