allusiOn to a leading Wheeling production,
under the sub.heading of IAN American

,"The driver of an omnibus states that
smoke of q peculiarly pungent aud over

which in shape closely resembled fuses.
Upon the approach of the officers the miser-
able man lighted one end Of one OF the in

his mouth, seemingly with intent to destroy
himself rather than be arrested. After 8
desperate struggle, in which the police we're
