the steamer Andes, the members Of the
Wiesel Musical Institute and WaYefly
Literary Society last evening madean
excursion to Steubenville on the new
steamer. The boat did not arrive from
Cincinnati until about Q P. NJ, at which
hour she was 10 leave for Steubenville.
Consequently II was nearly I o'clock
when the steamer moved from the land
Ing, carrying over two hundred excur:
sionists. A large crowd Of citizens had
assembled at the wharf 10 witness the EN-.
barkatiOn OF the excuruionists, and as the
noble steamer moved gracefully up the
Ohio the hills resounded with their
shouts.
The excursion was in charge Of the
WAyerlies, who appointed a committee
Of Eve 10 look after the comfort oil the In.
yited guests. This committee consisted
Of Mr.. Frank Mcneil, Frank Stanton,
Charley Franzheim, Harry Holiday and
John Il. Dunlap, and that they discharged
their duties we'll all who accompanied
the party will cheeriully testify. But the
officers Of the boat, from the captain
down 10 the steward, left no reason for
complaint on that score. The slightest
wants Of the excursionists were cheer.
fully supplied, and, indeed, often antici.
pated. Capt. Charlie Mnhleman, who Is
the prince Of steamboatmen, passed
around among his numerous guests, Civ
ing each CHEEKY smile and 3 hearty
word Of welcome. Mr.. Ed. MuhlemGn,
Mr.. Dan. Cacy and Mr.. George Goodum,
in the office, made everybody feel that 1t
was pleasant to be there. Those who
visited the pilot house found Messrs.
George Z. 0'Neal and IVES. Corns,
two Of the best pilots on the Ohio,
manipulating the wheel. Down below

er, in which they experienced so much
pride. And who among the party but
will acknowledge thoughtful attentions
on the part Of the Steward, Mr., Henry Al.
bert? Luncheon was served shortly after
the steamer left the wharf, and later pc.
lite walters moved about among the
guests with refreshments.
The time was passed pleasantly on the
upward trip as Is usual upon excursions
OF the kind. There was hardly breath
Of air stirring, and owing to the sultry
weather but few indnlged in dancing, the
music for which was furnished by the
excellent string band connected with the
boat. A large majority OF the excursion
lists put in their time promenading on the
boiler deck, while others sat in groups
upon the hurricane deck, engaged in
social converse.
Just as the Steubenville town clock
struck eleven the Andes landed at the
wharf Of our sister city, and was greeted
with the rousing cheers OF n large number
Of citizens who were awaiting her arrival.
The moment her plank was run out there
was perfect deluge Of Steubenvilliaus on
the boat. Old and young, big and little,
every nationality almost under the sun,
were represented in the torrent Of human
beings who poured in a stream on board
the boat, preventing the Wheeling people
from going ashore. 1t seems that band
oil music had been engaged for the occa-
sion, but having waited for over two hours
and seeing no signs Of the steamer, the
musicians became discouraged and retired
10 their homes. Among other Steuben.
Williams We had the pleasure Of taking by
the hand our old friend McFadden, Of the
Gu=eite.
The boat remained at the Steubenville
wharf about thirty minutes, when she
turned homeward, and again the good
people Of Steubenville rent the air with
cheers. The homeward trip was devoid
Of anything Of particular interest. Some
spent their time in dancing, Othcrs in
promenading, a few in playing euchre
while many wandered about the boat,
stopping occasionally TO listen TO the
singing Of some dusky dcckhand. The
irreprCssible kemple, with his character
sketches, made fun for many. Mr.. Oscar
Seeley and Mrs. Whitaker contributed
some excellent vocal exercises in tho
cabin, Mr.. Seeley singing Resignation
and Speak TO Me-" and Mrs. Whitaker

ular selections.
The e1cursionists arrived home at 2:3C
o'clock this morning, and before leaving
the boat the Waverlies put their heads
together and prepared the following res,
olutions, which were unanimously adopt.
