by i'll health from appearing here last sea

name, will make her first appearance i'll
this city on Monday night at the Opera
House, in THE Maid Of Belleville," by
Millocker, composer of the 'Beggar Stu

the composers music has met with partic-
ular favor in this country, but none
more so than that of 1.-The
Maid of Belleville" 1t was Il
decided success at the ITALIA Theatre in
New York when produced with the Ger

English at the Star Theatre in the same
city it won the warm encOnitims of the pa
pers and critics. The Alta Norman English
Opera Company is composed of a strong
array of talent. Miss Norman sings the
leading role of Virginie, a part which is
said to be remarkably suited to her pure
soprano voice. Mr. Ed. Chapman will APP
pear i'll an eccentric comedy part, and Miss
Agnes Halleck will also he seen i'll 4
character in which it is said she makes Il
great success. The tenor part of the
opera will he sung by Mr.. Gerald Coven-

When the Roses Bloom,

The beautiful display of Mr.. Theodore
Schneider, the successful florist of l73
North Front street, attracted much atten-
ton yesterday, and called forth many en-
cmOiumS from visitors to Floral Hall. 1t
is by all odds most complete and elegant
exhibit. Rare and beautiful plants and
flowers, artistically arranged and hastily
assorted, make Mr.. Schreiber's display a
notable one. Among the many attractive
features of this exhibit may be mentioned,
the Catherine, Mermit and Marcheneil
roses, the cut dahlias, asters, passion
flowers and rare eGOtics of different kinds
rs well as the fine specimens of palms,
bananas and Grape myrtles and other South
ern plants. BegOnias, alcasias and many
more varieties OF the product of his green
house and gardens can also be seen. The
designs in flowers of the Gates Aiar, I"
mounted with white dove, of a B. x O.
locomotive, Of a chair and other specialties,
are most finished specimens of the florists
handicraft and worthy of extended no
tice. The red ribbon was attached to many
of Mr.. Schreiber'S entries.

Display OF wool is not dozen or twenty
times what it is this year Sheep are on
hand by hundreds, but the exhibit OF wool
is unusually small, but one man putting
in an appearance with tleeces. There must
be something wrong in this regard, rs there
is no doubt our big wool growers would be
glad OF the opportunity to put their fine
clips on exhibition il the advantages and
facilities of the Fair were properly brought
to their attention. What the defect IS,
we know not, but there must certainly be
snme rrlsnn for the. dearth Ot clips.

BALLOON ASCENSION.

A notable event of the afternoon was the
sending up of large blue and white paper
balloon by an enterpriSing grocery firm
making a speciality OF coffee, the ascension
being witnessed by about every body ON the
grounds. Attached to the inflated bag,
was sealed envelope, enclosing an order
on the firm, payable to bearer, for twenty
tive pounds OF choice roasted coffee, which
made the capture of the big bag something
to be desired by everybody. The motive
power was hot air, generated by sponge
saturated with alcohol, and the balloon
scared to a height Of four hundred yards,
and fiOated lazily of in a nOrtheTly diree-
ton, alighting near the corner OF South

THE RIVERSIDE GLASS WORKS AT WELLS
BURG DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Loss $4,000 or $4,000 Fully Covered BY In
surance Partly in Wheeling Companies.
10 Be Rebuilt at Once.

Yesterday the Riverside glass works at
Wellsburg was totally destroyed by fire,
throwing 300 men out of employment for
some time. The fire originated in small
building from the clears, about noon, and
the flames rapidly spread to the main
building. The fire department was called
out and every effort was made to save the
main part of the establishment, but with
out avail. 1t was not long before the
whole structure was wrapped in flames
and being rapidly consumed, the heat in
the neighborhood being intense.
SAVING OTHER PROPERTY.
People living in the vicinity were very
much frightened and worked hard to save
their own property from destruction.
While Brady & Tallman's glass manufac-
tory, which is just across the way, was
somewhat scorched, it was not damaged
to any extent and will resume work this
morning. When the fire had exhausted
all the infiamable material within its reach
it left standing the four furnaces, two large
and to small, containing 6urteen pots in
all. About the only building saved from
the flames was the mold shop which is fire
proof. However, it was badly damaged,
but its contents, the molds, among other
things, were uninjured. The Office build
ing is left partly standing also, but it is
badly damaged and will have to be rebuilt
As near as can he learned, the entire loss
will foot up to something like $500 or
$40, 900, which is covered by $4,000 in
surance Several Wheeling companies are
caught, AZ follows: Franklin 81 500, Pea
body 81 800, American $1,000, Fire and
Marine 81 900, German $50, Ohio Valley
81, 900. The Jefferson and Manufacturers
escaped.
