who sought to show, by their pres.

the home company who supported him.
There was q generous bestowal OF applause,
the audience seeming anxious 10 reward
every person on the stage. The, costumes
were OF the approved Roman fashion, and
gave the performance realistic appearance.
or the Caiuy CdssiuS Of Mr.. Hennig 1t must
be confessed that It was in some re.
Rpects little weak. The conception OF the
character Is new In one or two instances an
innovation In fact on what 10 usually con.
sidered standard In the character IS inter
preted by the best actors. The weakness was
not so much, however, in the conception Of
the character az In Mr.. Hennig's lack VI phys
ical power TO endure the constant strain re-
quired with that eyenness necessary to make
II success. But upon the whole Il was an
admirable performance conscientiously
given, and the frequent applause was not
slone tho good will offering Of friends. but
was fully as much token OF appreciation OF
his pains.taklng work. He received de.
served call to the foot lights at the close OF
the first act

PT7ssuRe, May so.-The Iron MAnufae.
turen charge that the action Of the Anal.
gated Association in demanding festora:
ton Of the scale Of 1881 in the Cincinnati
district is breach Of faith, and will
Solidify the manufacturers ranks. They
also declare that In case ola strike they
will take offensive instead Of the defensive,
as heretofore, aud that the result
will certainly be large increase
in number Of non.union mills,
II not the complete humiliation Of the
Amalgamated Association. President Jar.
rett denies that the Amalgamated Associs-
ton has been guilty Of brach Of faith
and predicts that tho strike will not last
long.

THyIRON WORKERS.
A Little Shut Down YeIerday-TheL Last
Day Here.

There was no new development IN the iron
situation yesterday. All OF the mills OF thi,
vicinity shut down to allow the workmen "a
partske In the obsprvances OF Memorial Day,
except the Liugblin mill at Martins Ferry
and the Junction Iron Works at Mingo. al
the former place rs compensation for theii
deprivation OF holiday, the men were
treated to lemonade, several barrels OF which
were provided by the proprietors.
To-day Is, the last day OF work under the
present scale. As the time before June LIST
shortens there is growing impression that
the lockout will Ee q short one, and many
profess to believe that matters will be so ad.
justed to day that there will be no stoppsge,
tbough they give no reason for the faith that
Is in them.
4 significant fact is that workman in one
OF the mills who was suddenly deprived OF a
needed assistant, remarked to the manager oil
the mill that he supposed he need not 81 i the
place for the short time remaining, and re-
ceiyed the reply, "of coure you can't this
week; but you can pick up lots Of men at
the Beaver picnic Saturday.
This Is the decisive day, and the anxiety
will have reached lever heat by this morning.
This evening will tell the tale.

For The Flood Snn.reru-

EDS. News: There was masquer
ade festival at the Plumb Creek school
house Thursday night, which was given
for the benefit of Ohio sufferers. Every
one reports splendid time. Besides
having an excellent program ths young
people amused themselves by playing
games.
The characters were well represented.
We will now mention few OF the most
attractive: The German peasant girl
was represented 10y Miss Mallie Parker.
She did her part To perfection, and re.
ceived great many complimenisOn the
way she assumed the character.
The Greek ladies were deliberately
dressed in blue and black velvet with
Spanish lace head dresses. They we're
very attractive and created quite SEN
sation, but as they were strangers and
did not unmask, VIC are unable To give
their names.
The Welsh girl was gracefully repre-
scented by Miss Josie Fletcher.
The Hoosier school master whom we
soon found to be Willie Knox was very
brilliant and entertaining.
Last but not least we mention General
Grant, who was represented BY Carl
Knox. When he entered the room he
was received with applause. He WAS
dressed in full military suit and ap-
peared to good advantage.
There were great many more, ,hu,
space will not permit their mention.
At half past ten supper was announc-
cd and everyone Jared sumptuously.
This is but one of the pleasant enter
tainments we have attended at this
school house. MAUpE.

iiful edifice which that society is com
pleting on Merchants street. The con-
