..ShadnMs of a Grent CITY"

viii be produced at the Grand Opera House
on Friday and Saturday, Dec. llth and l2th.
with grand matinee on Saturday. This
play is from the able pen of l.. II. Shewell,
formerly of the Boston Theater. and is by
far the most artistic work of dramatic art
in the line of melo-drama that has been pro-
duced by an American author for years. II
deals with romantic phases of life in New
York City. presenting strongly drawn char
acters and possesses Il plot which for orig
inality. power and intense inter
est is conceded to be one of the
strongest Yet conceived. Ii will be
presented by a east of special strength. in
cluding such well-knOwn artists as Annie
Ward Tiffany. Edna Carey. Nelson Wheat
croft. George K. Edeson. IL. ". Herman.
". W. Allen, W. ii. Barton. and others.
The admirable scenic effects are a marked
and impressive feature, all the scenery and
properties necessary 10 its production being
carried by the company. and are of most
costly and elaborate character. The tour
of the Shadows of a Great City has been
a grand universal ovation wherever ii has
been produced. this being its second season.

Coal Oil.

Capt. ID. C. Balentine has issued his an
nnal Coal Oil report. He says that the to-
tai number of barrels of oil inspected during
the year was 3a6. 43O, OF which 325. .i76
stood the test and Were approved. while
954 We're rejected. The inspector calls at
tention to the inadequate pay received by
many of the deputies. particularly the one in
charge of the Akron, Canton and ioungs-
town District. whose compensation for the
past year amounted 10 S664,65 in fees, the
half of which amount he was compelled to
spend in travelling between the places
named. The deputy at Steubenville re-
ceived S62l, about one-half of which was
expended in travel. He recommends that
in places where less than LOCO barrels are
inspected per month the fees be fixed at ten
cents per barrel, and seven cents where the
of barrels inspected in each month
exceeds !, 900.

J. A. Leitschuh n Loser to the sum Of Forty
Dollars.

4 rather mysterious case of robbery
was reported 10 the police this
morning. the victim being J. A. Lett
schuh, who keeps shoe store on Main
street between Limestone and Market.
About 10 o'clock last night Leitschuh's shoe
maker and a German friend went ont of the
store To get glass of beer, leav-
ing Leitschuh there in company with
Charles Altschul. an old friend from Xenia.
Both men were somewhat under the intu-
ence of eXhilrants. The last thing Mr..
LeitSchuh remembers was that he trans
ferred the money-a little over $40
from the drawer to his pocketbook. He
went home On the last street ear.
and. doesn't remember when Altschul left
the store. This morning he found that
the money was missing and has
not the faintest idea whether
the money was taken from him in the store,
whether il got away from him on the ear. or
whether he lost it somewhere. No arrests
have been made in the case.
