and the other actors were all above medioC-

to the average, and though the orchestra was
missed, Prof Stahl with his piano made some
excellent music, receiving frequent applause.
The same company will present the Same

Loud and persistent complaint has been

OF the fact that no lights are maintained as

THE HOLIDAY ESTERTAISMENT
Given by the Lincoln CIub at their
Rooms Last Evening.

AAN01AN AstAAt ANNAAHAs
Aside froma political standpoint Wheeling
society may justly pride itself upon the ex-
istence in Its midst OF such an organization
as the Lincoln Club.
II has acc0mplishedAll that Its mGst hope
full and Sanguine supporters could hSYe
wished for in It's inception, and 1t has reach
ed point Of perfection In the accomplish.
ment OF It's designs and objects that Is indeed
surprising, and necessarily gratifying 70
those who plRced'so little faith In Its designs
ever being carried out.
So many clubs-political, social, literary
and amusement, have been organized In
Wheeling fourishedi in prosperity for short
time, and then passed 80 irredeemably into
bankruptcy, both financially and morally,
from q want OF interest In their affairs, that
people began to believe that twas next to
an iimposslbility to organize and maintain q
club OF any ktnd-and especially political
Club-that would come to be regarded as q
permanently, This conclusion, we are glad
TO say, as demonstrated by the, Lincoln Club,
Is erroneous,
Tho organization Is now in Its second year
From the start II has experienced nothing
but prosperity. Tho list OF membership
plumbers something over five hundred. Each
and every member has given UNREASONABLE
evidence Of a heartily interest In Its welfare,
not only by paying all dues and assessments
promptly, but by frequent attendance ut the
rooms, and the entertainments have been
largely attended and pronounced successes,
The elegance, AttractiyenGsS and convenience
Of Its apartments; the mere pittance that IL
required from each member Tor It's support;
the good order and strict rules OF etiquette
that are required by It's officers; the refining
influence that Is exCFted by the frequent
presence Of ladies, and the intelligence and
correct understandingoft the topics OF the day
that are disseminated through the medium oil
It's library, periodicals, newspapers and lee
lures, gives us just cause for congratulation
over It's existence; and judging the future by
the past, remembering tho record OF like
societies under similar circumstances In
other cities, we do not hesitate to predict
that the Lincoln Club will outlive Its young
est member,
The holiday entertainment last night was
probably the most successful and superior
that has yet been given, Every chair In the
large hall was filed and o large nu Rlber wit
messed the performances standing at the
entrance.
isaiah Warren, Esq, presided during the
evening and welcomed the guests In few
happy remarks, after which tue following
programme was presented In the order that

SOIREE MUSICALE
Given by Mrs, N. A. Whitaker and her
Pupils Last Evening.

The musical soireo given In the private
parlors OF Mrs, Whitaker by few OF her
pupils last evening, was an occasion OF true
enjoyment to the parents and friends who
were 80 happy as TO be present The scholars
from tho Oldest 10 the youngest acquitted
themselves well rejecting all credit upon her
under whose instruction they have been
placed, 1t Is through such entertainments
US this that We learn to understand the pro-
gross tho cultivation Of music Is max.
Ing amongus, and that the love OF It, In It's
true senSe,iS taking deeper hold as the stand
ard Is higherAnd the instructions proficient.
AS Mrs Whlttaker'S scholars last night re.
Elected In their taste, touch aud knowledge
the careful training they have had from her,
she again reflects great credit upon Prof.
Hermann, whose method OF instruction she
endeavors 10 follow so closely. We were for
tunAtO In having among us one who so fully
appreciated the excelenCies Of the "Stutt.
gardt Method" and = O.. Herrmanl'I nj, nner
Of teaching II, and who Is also 80 capable Of
perpetuating the same In our midst.
Not alone as teacher OF the piano does Mrs
Whitaker excel, but IN voice culture she has
long held high position In Wheeling, and
has done noble work In developing the vocal
talent found among us. Mrs. Whitaker has
won the confidence and regard OF our people
by her merits rs a teacher, her quiet dignity
and everobliging disposition when called
upon to render services by lending her time
and talent to any occasion.
The following programme was credltably
performed, and we hope these entertainments
may be OF frequent occurrence, and that we
may always have the pleasure Of enjoying
them:

Reference was made in the editorial
columns Of this paper yesterday to the fact
that the Sheriff was making move towards
the collection OF the city school taxes now in
tho hands OF City Collector fancy. Last
evening Mr.. Simpson introduced tho follow
ing into the First Branch where II was I'M
medlately unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Sheriff Of Ohio county Is so.
Letting signatures from the citizens OF
Wheeling for the passage Of an act, by the
assembling Legislature, taking the collection
OF the city school taxes out OF the hands OF
tho City Collector and placing them In the
hands OF the Sheriff Of said county, and
WHEREAS, The City Council, on a former
made, signified TO the Legislature Its desire TO
have tho CollectolPot said taxes remain as
now, because OF the simplicity and economy
OF their collections and the great saving 10
the city; now therefore be II
ReIOirtd, II Is the sense OF the Council OF
tho city OF Wheeling 10 earnestly reiterate Its
opposition 10 any effort looking 10 q change
In the school law, whereby the collection Of
the city school taxes are 10 be transferred
from the City Collector TO the sheriff; also
It's opposition to any proposed legislation
with such object In view, the Council belev.
ing such change or alienation as detrimental
to the best interests OF the city. And further,
that our legislators be requested 10 oppose
the passage Of such an act II II be offered;
and that the Mayor, City Solicitor and Coun-
ell Committee on Legislation be hereby In
structed TO memorable the Legislature
against the passage Of any such bill.
In the Second Branch II was also quickly
adopted, after II being clearly shown that II
would be expensive 10 the city In this wise
Provided, the Sheriff should procure the
collections, a new assessment would have TO
be made by the county. as at present tile
levy Of school taxes Is made on the city and
not on the county assessments. This would
entail expense TO the county.
As II Is now, Mr. fancy makes one call
answer two purposes, and charges ~ per
cent for collecting tho school fund and "
for the city taxes. Were the school taxes
taken away he would DO obliged 10 charge
the city more for collecting Its STAKES, In order
to make II pay him.

The lNTELLIGENCER has tho gratifying an.
nouncement to make that the manuiactur.
ing and industrial enterprises OF Wheeling
arc about TO receive IN addition, in the shape
Of extensive shops now located at Chicago,
and employed ip an industry, not heretofore
represented In this section. This industry Is
the manufacture Of galvanized iron roofing
for railroad cars, and the factory referred 10
Is that OF the Chicago Car Roofing Company,
an extensive affair which has been In opera.
tion In that city for several years, and the
products Of which are known far and wide
among chr builders and railroad men.
The company has for some time purchased
the raw sheet Iron which forms the basis Of
all their roofing from the Whitaker Iron
Company OF this city. Their business has
been steadily growing and has at length
reached such proportions that II was found
necessary 10 increase the capacity Of the
works. II was decided ut the same time to
save tho extra cost OF frelghtage and handling
incurred by transferring material from the
works here to the shops ut Chicago, by loca.
ting the shops IN this city, and In juxtaposl
ton to the Whitaker Iron Works. With this
object In view large and Commodlous frame
building Is being erected on the Whitaker
cOmpany's property for the use OF the Chi.
cago company, and when It is completed and
ready for occupancy the machinery and fur.
naces will be put In and the operations Of
galvanzing the iron and preparing tho roof.
Ing will DO transferred 10 Wheeling. The
office OF the company will remain In Chicago,
but all the manufacturing operations be con.
Quoted here, and the product Of the works
shipped direct from the factory in Wheeling

The presence Of these works here will still
further vary our already numerous branches
