The weather yesterday was as beastly
az it ever gets. It rained nearly all day,
most OF the time heavily, and there was 9
chilly humid atmosphere evenin thehouse
which made existence anything but agree

were compelled 10 be abroad.
The leveo marks last evening indicated
a depth in the channel OF 8 teet 8 inches
and the river was falling. Yesterdays
heavy rain was so general, however, both
up and down the valley, that rise may
be looked for within few hours: Al

THE rnEArNXs (, Asst NIGHT.
"1hs wages of sin"'nt tho Opera House
Last Evening.

Frank Harvey's English melo-drama,
1.-THE Wages Of Sin" was presented at the
Opera House last night by Messrs. Maui
bury and overton, two well.known En-
giish actors, Mics Eleanor Carey, Of New
York, and an even and strong company.
The play is rather on the sensational or
der, but has much more literary merit
than the ordinary play Of this general
class. The plot, while not new in lie
general scope, hiss many novel features,
and the incidents are well handled. The
play is thrilling in interest from beginning
10 end, abounds in situations which
make one hold his breath, and the
lines are strong. The weather Last
night had bad effect, but the small
audience was demonstrative ofits delight.
The company Is as tine one as has been
seen on q Wheeling stage for years. Mr.:
Maubury as George Brand, Q curate, and
Mr.. Overton as stephan Narler, the villain
OF the play, showed artistic talents rare
indeed in the cast OF such play. Mas
Eleanor Carey as Ruth was also unusually
satisfactory. She has few superiors as an
actress in q role which unites the tragic
and the emotional as this one does. The
play and the rendition both deserve q
large audience, and it Is to be hoped that
the house will be crowded tonight.

Taking yesterday about the present
abundance OF war literature, Capt. Viii
liam Dillon, the well known steamboat
man, said:
"The whole history Of the war has got
to be written yet. None Of those little in
cidents that make up the story have been
told until lately. The funniest thing that
happened, to my knowledge, has never
been in print. It was the capture by a
company Of Hoosier infantry OF man.of-
war which the whole American navy
couldn't take. That sounds funny, but it
is true. The man. oi-war Fox had eluded
capture for long time, though vessel
after vessel and squadron after squadron
had engaged her In fights, chased her and
hunted her all down along the coast.
Zone day in 1864 she put into little
bay surrounded by the Rebel lines, to take
on fuel. A company OF darkies had been
hauling sugar cane back into the country,
and the large carts were being driven back
with only little loose fodder and Btuf in
the bottoms, when Capt. Boo, commander
OF company in the TWeuty.frst Indiana
Infantry, met the train few miles outside
OF the Confederate lines. The soldiers
piled into the carts and made the darkies
drive them through the lines and down to
the coast.
"Then the soldiers sprang out OF the
carts and dashed aboard the ship. She
was captured without shot being fired.
captain Boo placed the crew in Gus
tody and made them run the vessel round
into the Mississippi river, where she was
turned over to the naval authorities. 4
vessel hailed the Fox on the voyage
round, but Capt. Boo thought he could
outsail her, and ordered al steam on.
The other ship fred 9 shell,
and she burst pretty near tho
Fox. Then Boo put to, but he
refused to surrender the prize till she was
safe in the Mississippi. Up TO 1873, when
saw Capt. Boo, his men had not received
penny for that capture. II naval force
had made it they would have divided up
good sized fortune, but the laws didn't
contemplate naval engagements by the in
iantry and there was no provision to cover
the case"

A PREMATURE CAUCUS.

time for holding the election, those mem
bers who care not 80 much orthe success
fol carrying on Of the gas works as they
do to make them part OF their political
machine, endeayored to hold caucuf,
but it proved failure. There was not a
full turnout OF the Democratic members,
some refusing point blank to attend, and
those that were there we're unable to agree
among themselves. Some wanted to have
the new Board solidly Democratic and the
others were in favor Of allowing the Re-
publicans one member. There was also a
difference OF opinion as to what Demo
Gratis should be selected for the places.
In the month that has elapsed, rs far as
can be learned, very little has been done
in the direction OF settling the questions
that vexed the caucus held on the 7th oil
September.

The funeral OF Miss Nettie Winder,
daughter Of William Winder, Esq took
place yesterday from the residence OF her
father, No. 65 Eighteenth street. Miss
Wiuder died Just as she was blooming
into womanhood. She was endeared to
her Sunday school classmates and as
sociates by those cheerful attributes which
win friendship. Whenever her voice was
used in song her clear soprano notes were
heard above all the rest. That she was
a consistent aud beloved member OF the
Zane Street NJ. E. Church was evidenced
by the unusually large attendance at her
funeral Yesterday. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. A. Hess, oil
Zane Street NJ. +. Church, her pastor, as
aisted by Rev. S. Jones, pastor OF Thomson
NJ. E. Church, Island.
The floral tributes were protuse. Among
the number was one from the Mutual I'm
proyement Society Of the Zane Street Sun
day School, being floral pillow Of white
flowers. In the centre OF this pillow were
the words: "Nettie"; Farewell"
The Society attended the funeral in a
body, being conveyed to the cemetery in
three omnlbuses. At the grave, at the
conclusion Of the services, the Society
sung the hymn, "she sleeps in the Val
ley"

Tho Council Committee in seSSion-Mar-
77 tins Ferry's Debt.
The Council committee on Fire Depart,
ment met at the City Hall last evening
and passed the regular monthly bills, A
resolution offered in Council by Mr..
Stanley, and referred to this committee
| for report as to the feasibility ofthe estab.
lishment of FIRE escapes in manufactures
and tenement houses exceeding two stories
in height, was referred by the committee
to the City Solicitor for an opinion regard
ing the power Of the city To enforce such q
regulation.
the fact that nothing had yet been received
from the corporation Of Martins Ferry for
the work done there by the Niagara en-
CINE company at the time OF the CONNER
cial Block FIRE. The company was engaged
| for Ave hours and the bill was $3.50, being
at the rate OF $50 per hour. This rate was
fixed by the Fire Department committee q
abort time before that fire, 1t being re-
solved that calls for help from neighbor-
| ing towns should be responded TO in all
cases provided this prioO was paid.
The Niagara company was ordered oyer
on the night ofthe fire by the Chiel, he
understanding thas Grey & Smith, owners
OF the Commercial Bank, were respon-
sible for the money. The block was
almost entirely destroyed by the time the
company arrived, but 1t managed to wet
doWn and keep cool the bank vault and
two saies aud prevented the fire from
spreading, as It surely would have done
had not the company responded. The
company did excellent work. Now Mr..
smith Is willing to pay SIPS, provided he
is given AoSp release from further cost,
and wants the Department to look TO the
Council Of Martins Ferry for the other
SIPS.
this proposition, aud in case the balance
II not paid by the corporation, one thing
ID certain; the Wheeling Department will
never respond to another call trom that
town or from any other town unless the
Mayor or some other official becomes re:
sponsible for the cost
The money acquired from such occa.
sions 10 these Is by ordinance to form

The reports are that another caucus was
to have been held last evening; in fact a
call was sent out for one, but 80 far as
could be learned, it was not held, proving
even less OF success than the September
one. Possibly the weather had something
10 do with this; he must have been par
tisan Of the partsans who would have
ventured out on such night
as it was last night, unless it was impera-
lively necessary. Still there were few
who braved the elements and were seen
about City Hall last evening. Jonas
Pickett, who Is reported to be the leader
against the continuance in office Of the
present Board, Louis Dslbrugge, Charlie
Bngell, Peter Ferrell, ALI. Caldwell and
two or three other members were observed
strolling about the corridors and in earnest
consultation, but it is not believed they
resolved on anything that the rest OF the
Democrats in Council can be depended
on to carry through for them.
The idea Of the ward politicians aud
strikers who care not how any city de-
partment is run-sucCessfully and econ
omically or not-so long as they can
rule 1t for themselves and their friends,
as has been explained before, is by
putting in q solid Democratic Board
