this Evening.
This evening Mr.. C. w. Barry, support
ed by u strong company, commences u
weeks engagement at the Grand Opera
House. Mr.. Barry is a tirst-class artist,
and no doubt will meet with n hearty re-
ception. He will appear in the Geneva
Cross tonight and tomorrow evening.
On Wednesday and Thursday evenings
will be presented the drama of "The Spy"
On Friday and Saturday evenings the
well known drama, Escaped from Sing
Sing" Manager Genther is a hustler, If
we may Judge from the crowds of ladies
and gentleman that thrOnged the Grand
last week.
1.-THE Opera House this evening Murray
and Murphy, our Irish visitors, will hold
forth in their delightful way. The play is
slight in construction, but it is full of
what is technically called business, " and
this is of 4 most amusing description.
The play relates principally to the adven-
lures of supposed Irish lord and an alder
man of Hibernian extraction. These char
acters are very familiarity played by Mr..
Thomas T. Murray and Mr.. Mark Muir
ply, the stars of the combination, and the
audience may be sure Of u pleasant eve
ming.
Seats will put on sale this morning for
the Gladiator" to be presented at the
Opera House tomorrow and Wednesday
evenings by Mr.. Robert L. Downing and
his excellent supporting company. The
Gladiator will, if we may Judge from the
remarks of the press, have a perfect repre-
sentation, and one which has never been
equalled in this country. The spectacular
effects will be very imposing, and, as will
be seen by the cast, the company is an ex-
cellent one. ''The play will be superbly
staged" says a New York newspaper,
careful attention being paid to spectac-
ular effect and historical accuracy" 1t will
be mounted on 4 scale of magniicence par
alleling the memorable productions OF
Henry Irving and Robson & Crane. Three
drop scenes will be used, one beinga street
scene in Rome, with triumphal arches
standing out in relief. Another is a real
istic view of a Roman military camp, while
the third is an arena scene.

THE HEBREW NEW YEAR.

IL Commences ut Six O'Clock Wednesday
Evening.
Wednesday evening ut 6 o'clock viii
mmen the Hebrew New Iear-ROSL
HoSaRah, as it is called. 1t is One of the
festival days which is strictly observed by
sill classes of Hebrews. The Reform He
brews observe but one day, while the or
thodox observe two. The reason given fol
observing two days is that in Olden times
a dispute arose as to which was the proper
day, so to satisfy all parties it was decided
to observe two, which is done by the orthO-
dOx Hebrews up to the present time. Up
on this day the Hebrew citizens perform
no manner of work and will not transact
business, therefore the business houses of
all Hebrews will be closed upon that day.
Unlike most Hebrew holidays, the New
Years day is one of rejoicing, and it is the
custom among them TO remember their
friends by bestowing presents and making
calls. The Reform Hebrews will observe
next Thursday as their New Year, while
the orthodox will observe two days rs
theirs.
There follow the New Year several other
important Hebrew holidays-the Feast of
Guekslzah, Yom KipOor, Sueot, Hashanah
Rahab, Shemiuee Aseret and Simhas To-
rah. The important holiday among them
is YOm KipOOr, which occurs ten days af-
ter New Year. 1t also called the Day of
Atonement, and Stocked upon as being
one Of the most sacred days in the Hebrew
calendar, andone that Is mors generally
observed than any other. 1t is 0 fast day.
and persons OF the faith who are above IL
years Of age are expected to abstain from
eating or drinking for twenty-four hours.
1t is a day that is strictly devoted to pray
er, and services will be held in all the
synagogues the whole day.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
ON THE pITTsBURG DIVISION OF THE BAL
T1M0RE AND OHIO
At Little Washington, Saturday MOrning-SsV-
sal Men Injured, But None Seriously.
The Cause.

About twenty minutes offs o'clock Sat
urday morning the third section oil
No. "a freight, drawn by engine 400, Balt-
more and Ohio Railroad, loaded principally
with live stock, pulled out of the Wash
ingtou yard onto the main track, with
orders to 90 ahead, About one hundred
wards from Main street there is a switch
leading onto a short trestle with a bumper
at the far end, upon which there is gen.
orally some cars standing. At this switch
the freight left the main track and crash
ing into two empty flats which stood on
t~restle, completely demolished them, and
as the front of the engine reached the
end of the trestle it settled to the ground
below, q distance of about twelve feet,
the trestle not being able to sustain the
great weight, drawing the tender with
it and throwing the front truck OF
the front car, loaded with cattle, from the
rails. The accident was caused by the
switch not being in proper shape. jim
Harnet, fireman, who jumped from the en-
CINE afterit settled, was scraped somewhat
along the side. John Sipes, engineer, re-
manned in the engine and was uninjured.
J. M. Griffith, conductor, who was stand
ing on top of the third car, jumped and
escaped without injury. A brakeman
named Swipes jumped from the second car
and escaped with a slight sprain. jim
Carroll, rear brakeman, jumped and was
not hurt. All the above men reside IN
Glenwood. VIM. Neptune, Parkersburg,
who is learning the road, was in the Gu
bose and was not hurt. Quite a long
piece of the old Waynesburg trestle was
knocked down by the two flat cars in their
descent. A gang of men were at once put
to work clearing away the wreck.

iron and brick and is one of the finest In
the Ohio valley.
Ten DAYS from now will see every in

the factory of the Bellaire Nail Works.
busily engaged. With everybody en-
Moved business cannot help but be good,
Int so far as a boom is concerned it should
not be looked for before spring.
We were shown a plan Of the proposed
factory to be erected by the Bellalre
Stamping Company. 1t will be four stories
high. The first floor will be used as the
hacking department. Machinery OF all
kinds will be put on the second and third
floors. John McGeorge is the architect;
That gentleman informs us that work Will
be commenced on the building at once,
and that it will be completed in Deem
Der.
The indications last spring were such
that the people of this city confidently ex-
pected a boom this fall. When the fac
tories closed down for the summer every
thing appeared bright, but the season ior
cessation of labor has passed and one month
of autumn has taken times wings and still
mart of our manufactures are idle. The
news that the trouble between the window
glass manufacturers and their workmen
had been adjusted was hailed with a great
deal of satisfaction, as the settlement sets
four factories to work Immediately, giving
we'll paying employment to several hun
dred men.
1t would hardly be proper to drop the
subject of blooming the town" until
some mention has been made OF several
fine buildings that have just been COM
pleted or are in process of erection. First
is the large five story addition that was
completed by the Ohio Valley Foundry
some weeks ago. This foundry was n very
small concern when built by Messrs. John
Parks and VIM. Lewis, of Wheeling, sew
eral years go. These gentlemen evident
ly struck a paying tidal wave, as they
have been unable to supply the demand
for stoves for the past two years. Although
the industry is quite large now their trade
Is at present. hOIc Ihah lhcy C<hi supply
The Board of Trade intends to do some
thing toward stirring up the city. 1t will
see that there are good roads into town;
use its efforts toward bringing capitalists
here; wake up our grocery-keepers to the
fact that n wholesale grocery can be run
in Bellaire, and many other things Of cor
responding interest. Although it was not
mentioned at the meeting of the Board
last Thursday, it would be an excellent
idea (?), after most of the above mentioned
acts are accomplished, to try and estab-
lish a brewery. The cry is that Wheeling
wholesalers sell all the grocers here, and
that a wholesale house should be started
to stop the drain to Wheeling. The same
fact is true of the beer we drink. 1t is
furnished from Wheeling.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
Oil Found In n Well that was Dry Before

Oil Found In n Well that was Dry Before
the Earthquake.
A telegram from Wellsville saws q few
days ago q thick oil of fine quality was
discovered in the abandoned gas well sunk
last winter by Wellsville parties in West
Virginia, on the Hutson farm. The well
was sunk to a depth of $500 feet, and
there being no indication of gas, the scheme
was abandoned. The strongest feature
connected with the discovery Of oil in the
hole is that previous to the late earth
quake the well was dry. Good Judges say
the oil is of a fine quality. Steps will at
once be taken to further the search for
oil.
There is nothing of note transporting in
the Little Washington oil field.

that the product of one Washington county

FELL DEAD.
SAMUEL LAUGHLN SUDDENLY STRICKEN
DOWN IN WISCONSIN.
He Fails From His Horse Near the Village o
Harley, and Instantly Expirs-Hs
History.

Att o'clock this morning q telegram
was received by the family of Mr.. Samuel
Laughlin, dated at Cleveland, o., and
conveying the sad intelligence that q tele
gram had been received from Mr.. ID. T.
Tuttle, of the iron ore firm OF Iuttie'
oglebay & Co, who is o in Michigan,
stating that Mr.. Samuel Laughlin had
fallen dead from his horse while riding
along the road nerr the village of Hunley,
and requested that directions be sent for
the forwarding of the body to this city.
The sad intelligence wa communicated TO
the relatives and immediate friends OF the
family, the blow falling heavily upon all.
Mr.. Laughlin left this city on "Wednesday
lastin excellent health, intending to make
a general tour Ofthe northwest, and attend
the druggists convention to assemble at
Minneapolis. His presence at Henley Is
accounted for by the fact that town lies IN
the heart of the gogebic ore region and 1t
is supposed he had accompanied Mr.. u
tie on q visit to the mines.
Samuel Laughlin, the head OF the
Laughlin Drug Company, President OF the
Junction Iron Company, and the holder OF
a large interest in the Laughln
nail mills ut Martins Ferry,
was born in this city, IN 1884, his
father being the late John Laughlin. De-
ceased first entered the drug business with
Dr. Geo. W. BlOckson, in GAINESVILLE, o.,
remaining there five years. He then re-
turned to this city and bought out the
business of Pryor, PAUL & Co, In COM
many with the late Alexander
Iaughlin and Mr.. S. b. Bush
field. The firm continued in business ten
years, or until 1864, when a dissolution
took place and the firm name was changed
to Lauyhlin Bros. & Co. About two years
ago it was again changed to the Laughlin
Drug Company, under which name busl-
ness is still carried on. Mr.. Laughlin some
years ago became largely identified with
the iron and nail interest, being connected
with the Laughlin nail works, Mt Martins
Ferry and the Junction iron works, at
Mingo. Aside from these extensive
manufacturing interests, Mr.. Laughln
was connected with a number of other en-
terprises, and was a prominent factor in
the commercial and manufacturing inter
ests of the city.
A member of the First Presbyterian
church, deceased was noted for his deep
interest in religious matters, and many
substantial instances of his desire to see
the cause of religion advanced, are on
record in the minds and hearts OF those
who knew him.
The misfortune of his death following
so closely upon that of his brother, IS
a sad blow to the bereaved family and I'M
mediate relatives, and will draw to them
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
The remains will be forwarded to this
city this morning, and will probably arrive
Tomorrow.

He took the Change.

A certain young man accompanied by two
lady friends, attended the First Presby-
terrain Church, last evening. There is
nothing strange in this fact, but when the
collection plate came around the young
man pulled n piece of silver out of his
pocket, put it on the plate and selected
some change which he coolly slipped into
his pocket in q very business like sort of a
way. The deacon was so surprised that
he missed two or three nickleS that were
yearning for the plate.
