The public interest in the great jubilee
concert to be given at the Grand next
Wednesday evening by P. S. Gilmore's
great band and fine company Of vocal
and instrumental soloists, exceeds that
manifested in any former amusement
event this season, and all the indications
are that when the sale OF reserved seats
opens at the Mcclure House Pharmacy
this morning there will be crowd in
line which will resultin every seat being
taken before the demand is supplied.
The fame OF the organization, the rarity
in Wheeling Of such musical treats, the
novelty of some OF the numbers on the
programme, in which the ten anvils and
the six bronze cannon are used, and as
much as anything else the knowledge
that everybody who is anybody will be
there, have combined to make an almost
unprecedented craze over this unprece-
denied event.

a match, and while the match was Civ
ing its light, he saw young Brown stand
ing in his room door with q package un-
der his arm. Brown ran out Of the hall
way and made his escape to the street.
Smith did not suspect anything wrong,
and fell of into sleep again, and it was
not until morning that he discovered his

This Famous Orator Lectures ut tho Fourth
Street Church.
The lecture delivered at the Fourth
streetM. E. church last evening by Chap
lain McOabe, was 4yery pleasing enter
tainment. There was q large audience
present and tears and laughter mingled
as the speaker told of experiences in old
Libby prison during the war. He COM
menced by singing Marching thro'
Georgia." and got his audience 10 join
in with him on the chorus. Then he
rapidly related the story OF his depar-
ture for the front as the
"parson" Of the 122nd Ohio Infantry
and then the story OF his capture and
that Of the regiments surgeon, together
with many others, at the close Of Gen
eral Milroy's gallant fight Of three days
about Winchester in June, 1864. He was
taken before General Early, and instead
OF being sent back to his own lines as Is
usually done when chaplains are cap
tured, he was sent to Richmond and
Libby. The stories he told Of life in that
prison were principally Of a humorous ma
ture and were greatly enjoyed; he told
of the songs they sang, the entertain
ments they had, the French, Latin and
law schools they established and Of the
other ways in which they drove care
away and kept alive spark OF hope.
All through his talk there was a spirit Of
patriotism and love OF country; grand
words for the old soldiers and for the
rising generation. At his conclusion
there was q round Of warm applause.
He then sang "The Battle Hymn Of the
Repuhlic," the audience Joining in on
the chorig.

A Card from Mr.. Cox.

To The Editor Of The IHteliigeHcer.
SR;-I wish to take exception through
your valuable paper to several state
ments made by Mr.. Willard Stout in
Thursday mornings issue of your paper.
Mr.. Stout claims that was the primary
cause OF his arrest, and that I was led to
do so by a feeling of spite. This is alb.
solutely false, as have had nothing
whatever to do with his arrest. Several
weeks before the late election told him
that did not think he could vote le-
gally, and advised, him to be careful. On
the morning OF p;e election ] showed
him challenge list containing his name,
and told him that his vote would be
challenged. Mr.. Stout asked the advice
of Mr.. D. W. Martin, OF the Tack Fac
fory, who also advised him not to vote.
Furthermore, when the United States
detective came to my shop inquiring
about Stout, said; "For Gods sake,
don't get the man into trouble"
Mr.. Stouts statement about the $50
called strike" at our works does us very
great injustice. The second day OF the
strike we invited him to our office and
told him that all the men could start
to work again the last Of that week, as l
would have work ready for them by that
time. He afterwards claimed that he
did not understand me. Mr.. Stout
seems to imply that I have been perse-
cutting him because OF the strike. | have
done him too many favors to think
about injuring him In that manner, but
with falsehood he seeks to misrepresent
me to the pablic. Respectfully,
WILLIAM NJ. Cox.

MINISTRIES openedan engagement Of three
nights and matinee. The company is

original and pleasing as any ever seen
here. At the opening company Of well

armed with muskets, appeared on the
stage and went through various evolu.
tons. Soon after number OF cooks and
servants appeared; three tents were in
view, a fire was burning under kettle
and regular camp fire scene was pre-
sented-stories, songs and cards. This
was new feature and greatly enjoyed
by the large audience, which completely
filed the house. The large olio is com

lures, conspicuous among which is Howe
and Walls's musical act; it combines
the rare qualities Of being immensely
funny and first class unsteady. The
hand bell playing and their solos upon
dozen other instruments is q strong iea-
ture. The song and dance festival is
gorgeously dressed and the dancing is
very artistic. Every style Of dance is
introduced: The gamin's clog, where
eight young men pose as marble statues,
forming q dozen different tableaux rep
resenting street life among the newsboys,
is skillfully arranged and is certainly
deserving Of the triple encore it received.
Loa, the human enigma, as he is termed,
proved his claim to the title by writhing
aud twisting himself into so many diff
ferent attitudes that 1t was a relief when
he assumed his natural form. Russell,
the comedian, is as funny as ever. The
Electric Trio and George Kerr, Roger

LECTURES in this city, entertained large
and attentive audience at the Opera
House last evening. The han was crowd.
ed to its utmost capacity, and large
number Of persons were compelled to

chiefly on the brain and nerves. After
an hours talk on these subjects his dog
with a silver stomach was exhibited.
This brute was suffering with q cancer
in his stomach, which was removed aud
necessitated the insertion Of silver
plate on the lower part OF the stomach.
The doctor gave the dog some milk, aud
then removed cork from the stomach,
which allowed the milk torun out much
to the amusement OF the AUDIENCE.
All ladies should make it a point To
attend the matinee this afternoon at
the Opera HOUSE. The LECTURE will be
private for ladies only. Nothing viii be
said that would embarrass tho most
modest or sensitive lady in the land.
This evenings lecture will be To men
