THE OPERA HOUSE.
Large Audiences Greet Kate Castleton
Yesterday.

Large Audiences Greet Kate Castleton
Yesterday.
Yesterday was big day for the Opera
House. The theatre-goers were evidently
bent on celebrating Christmas in royal
style, for they turned out en- mdsse and
crowded the building to its fullest capacity
both at the matinee and evening perform
ance Kate Castleton was the attraction in
Cray Patch, and at both performances
the play was enthusiastically received. 1t
can hardly be called play, however, but
is more like a wild, insane dream of mirth,
melody and roaring, vest-ripping fun.
The plot is all on the programmes, and
after the few minutes of introduction in
the first acts the audience gave itself up 10
the mercy Of the performance and was al
ternately charmed by the songs and action
of 'sybilla," convulsed by the unIequited
love and terrible revenge Of ''the lunatic, ~
and electrified by the stately bearing
and bran new chestnut Of 'the police
man," while the rest of the characters
filled in the gaps and kept the house in a
continuous state of Old-time, Christmas,
self-forgettul enjoyment. In the third
act, last night, the gallery divinities at
tempted to guy" couple of comedians
by applauding every attempt tospeak, but
when they calmly stretched themselves
upon the sofas and requested that they be
called at six" the gods" gave it up.
The play was decided success, and when
Miss Castleton visits Wheeling again she
will be greeted by full houses.

BELLAIRE.

Christmas in Bellaire was not univer-
sally celebrated. Coming as it did on Sat
urIay it gave our business men very little
show to properly observe the greatest OF
all holidays The toy merchants rcaped n
harvest, but this is what they generally
do. When the Glass City saw her worst
days about two years ago, it seemed AS II
it made but little difference with the trade
at Christmas.
The Episcopal Church as usual held its
festival on Christians Eve. There was no
tree this year but the church was nicely
trimmed. After a short service the pres
ents were distributed TO the little ones
The treat and entertainment given to the
children of the South Bellaire NJ. +. Sun
day school Friday night was very pleas
ant affair and was thoroughly enjoyed by
all present. The programme consisted of
vocal and instrumental music, Rotations,
&c, and was well rendered. After the
programme had been concluded, Superin-
tendent NJ. j. Brand announced that Mr..
J. +. Francis would say a few words to
those present, and that gentleman stepped
to the front and in the following brief
speech presented Mr.. Brand with an ele-
CANT pair of gold trimmed spectacles:
Brother Brand: In behalf of the Sunday
School Board and the committee having in
charge the arrangements for the Christmas
treat and entertainment, ] have the very
great honor of presenting to you this beau
tiful pair of gold spectacles as token OF
the great esteem in which you are held
alike by the Board, the committee and the
Sunday school generally, trusting that you
will accept this small gift, which is ten
dered as recognition of the faithful work
YOU have done in the interest OF this
school, and that it may be useful
to you in helping you to see and do that
which is right and good. ! take great
pleasure in wishing you merry Christ
mas and happy New Year" Mr. Brand
was taken completely by surprise, and for
a time could scarcely master his emotion,
but finally he returned his thanks in a
few well chosen and appropriate words
After this the treat was distributed and
the happy assemblage dispersed
The Christmas tree at the German
Church last night was loaded with good
things for the little ones. At $50 the
the things were distributed and the little
ones went home rejoicing.
The First Presbyterian church gave its
annual treat last night. The cditice was
decorated profusely with evergreen, and
the entertainment was quite pleasing.
The Second NJ. F. church aud A. NJ. f.
church gave their treats last night, and
happy events they were. The young ladies
of the Second Presbyterian church had
charge of the entertainment and Christmas
distribution at that church. To say that
they did matters up nicely, is but to give
them half praise for their earnest efforts to
please all.

have had an unusually tough time OF 1t,
as the statement that there have been
thirty-fYe arrests for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct alone, within the past
forty-eight hours, will fully attest.
Sixteen offenders tOed the mark be-

been making q night of it, laid
siege to the house kept by
Celia Williams, on Market street, above
| Tenth, and being refused admittance, they
! kicked the door in. Between two and
three o'clock a lively row was started IN
the Italian saloon, near the Opera House,
and in the fight which ensued one OF the
glass panels in the front door was broken.
| About 6 O'Clock free fight took
place in a saloon on Seventeenth street,
man named Halpin being the central
figure. Officer Duffy arrested Halpln,
when man named Johnson interfered.
He was also locked up. About o'clock

A Sad AmictiOn.

At ten minutes past ten o clock last night
Robert II. Silvey, Jr., died at the residence
of his parents, on Fifteenth street, Of con-
sumption, aged twenty-five years and two
months. Robert, who was a brother OF
W. T. Silvey, lately deceased, was also
a compositor, and membcrO of Typograph-
zeal Union No. 10. He learned his trade
on the InteIligeacer, and worked steadily in
that office for years, respected and esteemed
by all who knew him. His untimely death,
following 50 soon upon that of his younger
brother, is Il sad blow to the family, and
they will have the sincere sympathy of all.
Typographical Union No. ~ will probably
meet to-day to take suitable action.

How the Day Was spent by Our Cit
liens.
Christmas was observed yesterday by
an almost total suspension of business OF
all kinds and the closing down ofthe mills
and factories all over town. The services
at the churches were fairly attended, and
the musical programmes were rendered
with uniform taste. Innumerable family
reunions were held during the day, while
the theatres were Iammed to the doors
with people in search of recreation and
pleasure During last evening number
of church and Sunday school entertain
meRtS we're held, and two or three dances
received full share of attention. There
was marked decrease in the amount of
guupowder used by small boys, over
former years, but the consumption of
whisky by the adult male population was
phenominally large, and last night DRINKS
were as numerous as the sands of the sea
shore. Quite number OF fights resulted.
a few of these being mentioned elsewhere.
Taken in its entirety. however, the day
was an enjoyable and everyone seemed
happy and contented.

A month or so ago | called attention to
the lively discussions going on among the
New England nail manufacturers, and the
determination to start large steel plant
up there, in some central locality. | now
note that the fremont Nail Company has
already contracted for the erection of a
Bessemer steel plant at Wareham, Mass,
to be employed in the production OF rolled
steel plates to be made into steel nails and
for other purposes. One Of the prime con-
sidcratiOus in the new plant will be the
employment of coal gas for fuel instead of
coal, as heretofore. 1t is estimated that
by the new process of employing gas, as
much heat can be obtained from the gas
extracted from 800 pounds of coal as from
a ton of coal employed in the ordinary
way. Indeed, it is claimed that by the
conversion of coal into gas-and IN the
new method of producing the fuel gas the
whole of the coal is OnSumed-tully ~ per
cent. of the heat units are utilized, while
by the ordinary process not over 10 per
cent is utilized. 1t is also said that an
other steel plant has been contracted for,
to he located at Springfield, Mass, with a
capacity of 200 tons daily ofsteel ingots, for
conversion into various forms for various
uses. fuel coal gas to be employed in the
production. A large works for the manu-
facture of lap welded iron and steel pipe,
