The Vallejo Catastrophe.

VALLEJO, Cal, Feb. 2S.-Search was re-
sumed to-day for bodies Of victims of yes
terday's explosion of the ferry steamer
Julia, but no more bodies were recovered
during the morning. Fifteen had been
recovered at a late hour last night, and
many more are known to be killed. 1t is
believed between fifteen and twenty more
bodies will be found in the wreck when
the steamer is raised. Wreckers were at
work to-day, and it is thought the Julia
will be brought to the surface tonight.
Divers went down to-day and
made q careful inspection OF the
wreck. They found the port boiler blown
overheard and the starboard boiler torn
apart. The boilers are Of the locomotive
type, containing two 6re-boxes each, The
rupture occurred at the end of the taper
course. The fre-box end was turned up
side down and thrown forward, the bottom
straining against the oil tanks. These are
forced out of place, but not ruptured, and
oil still remains in them, showing that
they did not explode. The Government
Boiler Inspectors will make an Official in
spection as soon as the vessel is raised.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-F0llowing is q
letter furnished the Associated Press:
SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. %.
A reporter comes to me this evening
and asks what my opinion is concerning
the strike of the engineers on the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy Railroad. An ex.
preston OF opinion is required as to
whether l favor the taking of the places of
Brotherhood men by Knights of Labor. |
have nothing to say concerning the matter
of the strike on the road in question, for I
do not know the particulars, but if true
that the men are making an effort to do
away with the European custom OF grading
men up and down regardless of merit, then
they are in the right in making the
fight for equality. My opinion OF a
man who takes the place of another who is
struggling for his rights is that he deserves
the contempt and scorn of every man who
loves justice.
II is true that members of the Brother.
hood have on repeated occasions taken the
places Of members OF the knights Of Labor.
1t ls true that away back in the early days
Of the seventies, the Brotherhood men did

Interview with General w. a. Gibson in Ft-

"Yes, Senator Sherman will be Ohio's
undivided an enthusiastic choice. Our
people have always had q tender spot for
Blaine, but now that he is out of the lists
Ohio will support Sherman as long as
there is possible chance of his being

"And then" asked the reporter, sit his
banners begin to trail, Ohio Will come to
Indiana's choice, Gresham or HarrisOn"
NO" replied the General, "Ohio does
not take 10 either Gresham or Harrison.
They are both able men, but they are not
prominent Presidential factors, and with
Sherman out of the way, neither of the
gentlemen from Indiana will get the
nomination. Under such circumstances
think it will be Senator Allison, of Iowa.
He is 8 grand man, one of the ablest in
the country, and il Sherman fails to get

indefinite, and merely said that he would
be in Chicago next (this) week. he did
not ask Us to wait till he arrived, nor any

he was told that at 4 a. m, Monday, the

a splendld opera Company.

The MacCollin Opera Company, which
commences weeks engagement at the
Opera House next Monday night, is be-
yond doubt one OF the largest and
strongest that ever appeared in Wheel
ing ut regular prices, and when one
stops to consider that its prices here arc
Just half the regular price, there can be
no question us to its superiority above
all other so-called popular priced opera
companies. The company numbers
thirty.iive people. They carry their
own orchestra. The chorus is said to be
composed OF fresh voices and handsome
faces. Some Of the principal members
are pleasantly remembered, having
been seen here before with some OF the
leading organizations. Among the names
appear those OF A. w. L. MacCOllin, one
OF the finest of comedians; Edmund
Stanley, tenor; w. ii. Ford, baritone;
Misses Fannie d. Hall and Mable Haas,
prima donna sopranos; Miss Flora Cur
tis, contralto-a sextette OF artists that
has few superiors. The repertoire is one
OF the very best, containing one or two
new operas, and the balance all favor
ties in Wheeling. "The Musketeers" is
down for the opening bill, while beg
gar Student" "Bohemian Girl" do
lanthe" and "Merry War" serve to fill
out the week. The costumes are said to
be very gorgeous, and the entire pro-
ductions will be revelation to tho
patrons Of the opera. The reserved seat
sale opens at Banners at s o'clock this
morning, The best seats in the house
can be reserved at fifty cents each, and
rush is predicted. The lovers OF opera
may never have another chance to SEE,
opera at such reasonable price, and
should not miss the opportunity.

NEW York, April 27.-R, G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade
say: The situation is unusually con
fused. Advancing markets for stocks and
and for grain contradict each other. The
Western reports as to the probable crops
are more definitely unfavorable. The
reports OF business transacted are by nc
means uniformly favorable.
There is prospect that the output Of
iron will now improve, though prices
do not. The accounts Of the boot and
shoe trade are q little better, though the
demand of buyers for lower prices ap-
pear to cause hesitation. There have
been considerable sales of leather at
some concessions, and hides are weak.
Wheat has advanced one cent, and
corn a half cent, with hog and pork pro.
ducts weaker. The general average oi
prices is now a little lower than it has
been at any other time since January !,
notwithstanding an advance OF four per
cent on breadstuffs.
1t becomes more clear that the pre-
yailing tendency Of prices and OF wages
is towards lower level, though actual
or apprehended scarcity of farm pro
ducts affects prices in some speculative
markets.

The Ohio Valley Round Table met
last night at the office OF Superintendent
Anderson. The topics discussed were
Arithmetic, History Of Education, Ven
tilation ofschool Buildings, and the teach
ingof morals and manners in the schools,
It was agreed that in arithmetic, princi-
pies rather than rules should be taught,
and that questions designed 10 lead the
pupils to think should be given by the
teachers. More attention should be
given to the subject Of good manners and
correct morals, and 1t was proposed to
make an effort to do more in this direc.
ton.
The absence OF Superintendent Dun
can, Of Bridgeport, was felt az loss to
the meeting. The members OF the Round
Table expressed their sympathy with
him in his sore family atlliction.

MINNIE PALMRRS WRLOOME.
She Receives an ovation on Her First Ap.
pearnnee Here.

| peRrnneo Here.
Miss Palmer was greeted last night at
the Wheeling Opera House by an
audience worthy OF her talents and her
fame. A larger audience could have
got into the house, buta nicer one could
scarcely have been gotten together. The
house was packed down stairs, the sign
standing room only" having been nut
out when the doors were opened: and
upstairs there were no desirable seats
empty, while number OF people were
standing.
The play was "AIy Brothers Sister,"
the best in which Miss Palmer has been
seen. It gives her versatility scope, and
is in every respect as charming as tho
star herself.
In II she appears as Mudine, a harum-
scarIlm girl, whose father Is a French
nobleman with very small. purse. She
is put into boys clothes and sent out TO
black boots while her noblep papa teaches
music for a living. It is as the boot
black Nadine is first seen. She gets into
the house Of Mss Geraldine Preious.s. .s.and
thers her adventures begin. Geraldine,
being angry with Richard LiringSton.
whom she wants TO marry but can't for
very good reason, desires to revenge
herself, and hits upon the scheme Of
dressing street girl up and introducing
her rs Boston young lady OF family in
hopes that Richard will become smitten.
Nadine, Us the bootblack, agrees to
send his sister to Geraldine, and, disap-
pearing for D minute, returns as the SIS
ter. The scheme works. Richard falls
in love, and then, the truth coming ont,
and Madness father having his estates
restored, everything ends happily for all
but Geraldine. That is the plot OF the
piece. 0fcourse most OF the fun is sup
piled by Miss Palmer. She is the best
dancer on the American stage and has
sweet voice, not common thing with
soubreitcS, In the three acts OF the play
she appears as the bootblack, then as
her own sister, and finally us naval
cadet.
The company is without exception
good. Miss Reynolds us Geraldine, Mr..
McManus as the Baron, Mr.. Hawkins,
Miss Buchanan, Miss Sheldon, Mr..
Hendricks and Mr.. Allison-in fact,
about all the cast-deserves special mem
tion, but lack of space forbids. 1t is
enough to say that the whole rendition
was worthy of the star and the play.
The audience was demonstrative to
the point Of enthusiasm, and in all re-
spects the performance was red letter
one for the Opera House.
: This afternoon Miss Palmer will ap-
pear again in "AIy Brothers Sister,"
Seats can be reserved at the box office in
The forenoon, or secured when the door
opens. Each lady in the audience will
receive handsome souvenir.
This evening the play will be "My
Sweetheart" which some people prefer
TO the other piece. 1t is certainly
pleasing comedy and the star is seen in
II at her best. In it twelve children
will sing chorus, and there is a charm
ing children,s scene. The music is at
tractive. AT both the performances the
star wears her famous diamonds. Seats
ior the night performance can besecured
.o-day if desired.

THE CLEVELAND GEM,


Ana MISS Pulmefs hhnusomo COLLECTION
of Gems.
There is great deal Of curiosity to see
Miss Palmer's diamonds, particularly
the famous Cleveland gen." This
stone has history. It was bought
from the leading diamond merchant in
New York, S. Dessauer, who cut it in
1884. Mr.. Dessauer is Democrat and
his father a Republican. When the
stone was being cut the two agreed that
if Cleveland was elected President it
should be named for him, and il Blaine
was chosen it should be the "Blaine
Gem" Hence its name. Admirers Of
President Cleveland raised money to
purchase the stone and present to him,
but he refused to acceptit. tits set in
revolving rose, which moves by minute
clock work.
Yesterday Mr.. @. 0. Rogers, of the
company, employed Officer John Shorts,
OF the city police force, TO assist in
guarding the collection OF gems owned
by Miss Palmer, fearing the detective
regularly employed might need company
in caring for the gems after the night
performance. The burglar proof safe in
which they are kept, itself work Of
art and beauty, was deposited last night
in l. G. Dillon & Co.'s vault. This safe
contains seven trays OF diamonds and
other costly stones, including some
beautiful and rich souvenirs OF her
triuInphs abroad.
