weeks ago the society decided to appro
priately celebrate the event. An invita-
tion was sent TO the benevolent societies ol
ST Peter and St. Joseph, Of Canton, Ohio
asking them 10 be present and assist, and
was accepted. About two years ago the
81. Alphonsus Society went to Canton to
assist in a church dedication, and the Can,

The twelfth anniversary celebration com.
menced Saturday evening with the recep.
tion OF the Canton people. An excursion
numbering about 200 arrived at Bridge
port on the $50 train; about seventy Of
this number were members OF the Canton
societies. They were accompanied by the
Grand Army band Of that place, superb
organization numbering twenty.eight men.
The st. Alphonsus turned out strong to
meet their guests. The Opera House band
was at the head OF the column. After
marching over to the city, halt was made
at Germania Hall, where an address oi
welcome was made by President Behler,
who was followed by Mayor Miller, who
made the strangers welcome to the city.
The members Of the st. Alphonsus Society
then took the strangers in charge.
Yesterday morning services appropriate
to the occasion were held at the Church Of
the Immaculate Conception and at St Al
phonsus Church. Yesterday afternoon
nearly all attended the CONCERT at the Park,
This morning there will be parade
through the principal streets and in the
afternoon a picnic at Seibert's Garden,

pleased with their visit here thus far. The
hospitality Of Wheeling, her industries
and big hills have all been praised.

coscERr ArrHr PARK.
The Most Brilliant one of the series
Given Yesterday.


Wheeling Park has never before con
tanned such crowd Of people or such
number of vehicles as It did yesterda,
afternoon. The occasion was the usua
Sunday sacred concert given by the operi
House orchestra. The Elm Grove car
were crowded as early as II o'clock yester
day morning, although the concert was no
to commence until o'clock. After dinnel
the Elm Grove road found 1t an utter i'm
possibility to transport all the people who
wanted 10 go out. Every car carried about
twice the number 1t was built for; many
were afraid to stand the crush and did moi

men.
at 8 o'clock it seemed as though all
Wheeling and the surrounding country
had gathered in the Park. The driveways
became jammed several times, aud
pedestrians were everywhere. The day
was delightful one, being neither too
warm nor too cold. Every one was in the
very best humor, and the crush and jam
did not serve to lessen their spirits in tile
least. Nearly all the members OF the st.
Alphonsus Benevolent Society and their
Canton guests were present. While the
concert was not really part Of the pro-
gramme laid out for the celebration OF the
twelfth anniversary OF the st. Alphonsus
Society, nothing had been provided for
yesterday afternoon, in order 70 allow those
that desired to attend the concert.
The Canton 6. A. r. band was present
as the guests Of the Opera House orchestra.
This organization is noted one in the
country. 1t consists Of twenty-eight pieces
and is literally supported by the citizens OF
Canton, who have purchased their uniforms
and instruments and in addition pay the
band 81 900 year for two concerts u week
during the summer months For twelve
years it has been undet .Gellent direction.
The band has six clarinets Nnd plays with
the brass instruments the finest orchestral
compositions with the delicacy and finish
OF an orchestra, while heshadlng is exqui-
site. Yesterday they played six selections
and were loudly appiauded. Two OF them
were from Wagner's "rhanhauser."
The Opera House Orchestra never gave
finer outdoor concert. Every member
was on his mettle and every number
elected praise. The concert was over at s
o'clock last evening. The programme rem

A mYsrEgIOrs CASE.

Saturday night little before l2 o'clock
Robert Muir, who has a little fruit aad
candy stand at the south end Of the Centre
market square, went to hishome on T,wen.
ty-dfth street, and was surprised to find
that his wife was not In the house. The
bed showed that she had lain down, and
all her clothes but brown skirt, pair OF
red corsets and her stockings were left in
her room. Mr.. Muir inquired around
the. neighborhood, but could hear
nothing Of his wifs. He informed
Officer Williams Of her disappearance,
aud a thorough search was made.
Mrs. Muir is subject to epileptic attacks,
and her husband feared thatshe had fallen
in one OF these in some out,ot-the.wsy
place and died for want Of attention. A
thorough search Of the vicinity did not re-
veal anything to substantiate this theory,
however, and although every effort was
male to find her yesterday no trace Of the
woman had been found at midnight last
night. Mr.. Muir has concluded that in a
lit Of alteration his vile bus wandered to
the river and been drowned.
