centre OF attraction to-day. Work was
pushed with great activity yesterday after

finished and connected and everything
up in readiness to exercise the drill to-
day. It was the prevailing opinion in the
early hours OF the morning that there
would be some important Developments
before nightfall, A relay OF horses was
established along tho National pike to gel
information to this city as soon as posi-
bic. Besides this, the Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph Company opened up a tenn
porary office at the station. Up

been received either by wire or over the
relay. Many OF the prominent oil men
here hunted up their calendars this morn

gagement at Tsylorstown to-day which
they were very exact about filling, A
score OF vehicles had left before 8 O'Clock,
Up to 3 p. NJ. no word has come from the

Tho Mexicnn Orchestra to Give Three Con-
certs In This City.
Tonight, and tomorrow afternoon and
night the citizens Of Wheeling will have
an opportunity to hear one Of the finest
and most noted musical organizations that
has ever travelled. The celebrated Mexi.
can Typical Orchestra has b%een'secured
by special engagement, coming here di.
rect from Washington, b. q. Tho OrChes.

only o four.night engagement, but the
people were 10 delighted and 80 imperi-
Gus in their demand that the organization
remain longer, that q two.weeks engage
ment was made and filled. presi.
dent and Mrs. Cleveland paid the
orCheatra marked attention, and the lead.
or, Signor Antonio Cuyas, has composed
a march which he has dedicated 10 them,
and which will be played tonight, 1t Ia
said to be very fine, purely Mexican in its
composition and containing the most diff
cult pianiBsimo passages gradually grow
ing stronger as the march progresses. The
famous overture to William Tell will also
be one Of to.night's numbers by special
request.
The organization is composed principally
OF members'of the Eighth Mexican Regi-
ment Band, which created such o furore
at the New Orleans Exposition. The
soloists are all OF excellent reputation in
Mexico and have gained nothing but the
warmeBt praise for their efforts during
their tour III this country. Among them
may be mentioned Seniors Adrian Galarza,
the renowned Aztec "clarionetist, whose
work Is marked by great purity Of tone
and remarkable execution Cipriano Cur.

oboe and plCColo %soloist; Jesus Necochea,
solo on the saltario, an instrument Of

s%oloist, and Francisco Nava, mandolin,
soloist.
Tho orchestra will be aided by Miss
Florence Forbes, a lady who both at the
New Orleans exposition and in the city
Of Mexico has acquired high reputation as
a vocalist. She Is said 10 possess a soprano
voice Of great purity and power, which
has been highly cultivated. The pro.
gramme will be varied and attractive, en-
braCing not only selections from thsgreat-
est composers but also music peculiarly
Mexican In It's character.
Not since the visit OF Thomas's orches.
ira has Wheeling had an opportunity 10
listen to such fine music. Tomorrow
evening the Elm Grove road will run q
special train after the concert. Seats can
be reserved at Banners.
