This evening at Charley Shay's Acad,
envy OF Music Col. ]. Holmes Grover, who
won fame in the Union service during the
rebellion, and Miss Lisa Weber, a famous
English burlesque actress, viii open a
weeks engagement in Col. Growers own
play, 81. D. o." They are supported by
a company which has won high praise
from the press Of cities where the play has
been given. The play is founded on a
perilous mission on which Col. Grover was
sent by Gen. Grant during the war. He
was the bearer Of important dispatches.
His horse was twice shot under him, and
once he was captured. His dispatches
were concealed in his boot heel, and he
masqueraded as German soldier Of the
Confederacy. He spent q month in Libby,
but escaped, delivered the message, and
was afterward rewarded by President
Grant by the appointment as U. S. Consul
to Rome. The play has been produced in
this country and Great Britain over 1000
times. It will no doubt be witnessed by
a large crowd tonight.

Ashsrifr Accused Of Embo11lomo ont.

Grant county is reported to be in a state
OF excitement on account OF the arrest OF
J. W. Conrad, late deputy sheriff Of Cal
houn county. The charge is embezXling
public money. About 5000 was found on
his person when arrested, consisting Of
county and State claims, also one receipt
OF J. W. Bell, for $1,000, which is pro-
nounced q forgery. A like receipt Of $500
is claimed to be q forgery. It Ia supposed
that he has been preparing for some time
for the final settlement with Bell, the late
sheriff, hence the receipts. Bell is con-
siderably in arrears and claims that he
has been defrauded by Conrad, and II
would seem 80 from developments. Con.
rad was not under bond and only what
can be found will ever be realized. J. W.
Conrad settled in Calhoun county at the
close Of the war and has been connected
with public matters ever since. He was
deputy sheriff from 1868 to 1872, and 1t
the close OF his term ran for Sheriff. He
ran for Clerk Of the Court in 1873 and was
defeated by q small majority, ran again
in 1884 and was defeated by the party
majority.

The usual Sunday afternoon meeting
Of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor AS
sembly was held at Martins Ferry yester-
day. The attendance was unusually large.
One labor lodge was added to the number
entitled to representation at the semi
monthly meetings, this being the only
body eligible to representation that has
not heretofore had delegates at the Assem-
bly's meetings, except the unions Of nail
feeders whose members have excepted
machines with the approval OF their
lodges. All these unions were expelled
by the Assembly some time ago.
The principal matter considered yester-
day was the proposed labor demonstra-
ton, which has been talked OF for next
Saturday. The intended street parade
was abandoned, owing to the lateness Of
the season and the prospect Of bad
weather. A committee Of nine members
was appointed, however, to arrange for
labor mass meeting. The committee
was given full poWerto act, butinstructed
to hold the meeting in the near future.
A desire was expressed to secure the
Opera House to hold the meeting in, but
1t was announced that this could not be
done. One Of the large rinks in con-
yienent locality will there fore probably
be chosen.
In addition to the speakers mentioned
in connection with this meeting the other
day, Hon. A. D. Fassett, Of youngstown,
Ohio, and Joseph Bishop, ex.President Of
the Amalgamated Association, are also
mentioned.
While no object has been mentioned in
connection with the proposed demonstra'
ton further than the general benefit that
would accrue TO organized labor In this
section, still, in the present condition oil
affairs, prominent members Of the Assem-
bly, say It could hardly avoid being made
an occasion for indicating to the public at
large the sympathy Of other branches Of
union workingmen for the locked-out
nailers. rollers and heaters, and the inn
porters OF coal dug by non-union miners

She was % yearS Of age, and had ways

watched. But on Thursday nightshe ex-
pressed desire TO retire early, which she
was allowed to do. She appeared
quite lively and cheerful, although she

CHILDREN IN CHURCH.

The pastor closed by urging the parents
to bring their children to church with
them, saying that Il they could not let
them attend both the church'and Sunday
school, by all means to bring them to the
church, as the former was Christ's insti-
tuition and the latter mans. This point
was emphasized very forcibly.
When the Lord intended to destroy
Sodom, He made Abraham His contdant,
as a man commits 0 secret TO his best
friend-and why? Because the Lord said
81 know him that he will command his
children and his household after him; and
they shall keep the way OF the Lord, 10 do
Justice and judgment" "In this way then,
brethren, may we assure to ourselves not
only the presence, but the intimate COM
panionship Of our Lord through our further
pilgrimage. Lord, II thy presence 60 not

PRLsburqh Dispdteh. Sunday.
"There have been no nails made in Pitts.
burgh for six months" said a manufac-
turer yesterday, ssand IL none are turned
out here in year it will not cause nail
famine. We are not selling nails at pres
emit, but there are Eastern nail agents here
now offering to sell from 5000 to 5000 key
lots at not any more than % cents q key
above the lowest price ever known to have
been paid here. That shows already that
there are more nails in the market than
there is a for. The talk ola nail fam
inc may be confined to Pittsburgh and the
near vicinity. There are q great many
nails used around here, and those who
buy want Pittaburgh nails. II our custo-
mers who handle from 800 to ,0G0 kegs
month would 60 away from home they
would very soon get their orders filed, but
as it Is, q. retail buyer, wbowants probably
10 kegs Of nails, will 60 to IL stores who
are waiting for us to furnish them with
nails, and in this way a report is circulated
that 100 kegs Of nail are, wanted when
really there is demand for only 10 kegs"
"Why don't you buy nails and supply
the customers2" was asked.
1.-THE market Is so uncertain" was the
reply, THAT 1t would not pay. To sell nails
at clear profit OF 5 cents key is q big
thing, but when nails in price are nearly
down to bottom figures in six months, the
chances for the Wholesale buyer are that
he will have to sell below cost, as has been
the case within the past year."

The South Chicago Daily Calumet Of Sat-
urday says: We have It on reliable au.
thority that the nail department Of the
Calumet Iron and Steel Company's mill
viii resume operations within short
time, preparations to that end having been
going on for week or two past. It Ia the
desire OF the company to re-employ all
their old hands, but Of course at the seven
teen cent scale. The company regard the
backbone OF the strike as practically
broken, and as the other mills Of the Wes-
tern. Nail Association are running at the
reduced rate, they cannot afford to pay
the higher rate Of wages demanded by the
nailers. The matter has been submitted
to the nailers' union here, and on its. deci-
sion will depend the question as to whether
new men will have to be employed. 1t is
also the intention Of the company TO start
up the other department Of the mill before
long, but there being no money at present
in the manufacture Of bar iron, such
changes will be made as are needed to
adopt 1t to the production Of pipe iron.
