Steubenville claims to be the grave
ward of shows" from the fact that shows
innumerable have left their bones to
whiten in her new and elegant opera
house. Perhaps 1t is envy of that tenn
pie Of the MUSES., but be the cause what
it may, it is certain that great many
travelling combinations have met their
deaths in Steubenville. Mortality sta
tistics show the latest suicide to have
the Minnie Cummings troupe. The
papers of that religious city speak very
highly of Miss Cummings and her his
trionic ability, and are inclined to fling
all blame on the manager, whom they
charge with decamping with the funds
and leaving the star in their midst with
out one cent. Miss Cummings left for
Cincinnati, yesterday, to enter suit
against her rascally manager.
