T1is morsing Frank Dickson appeared IN
the Circuit Court, and was released ON a
bail bond of 1000, his father, John F.
Dickson, giving security. Dickson was
arrested last January on charge ofwreck-
in a train on the O. & o. railroad,
opposite this city on the night Of October
Der 26th, one year ago. Dickson was
brought TO this city, lodged in jsil, and
after indictment was put on trial before
Judge Guthrie last April. The jury did
not agree and Dickson was returned TO the
Jail TO await further sclion OF the Court,
which resulted in his being released to-
day On bond until next March term Of
Court. In this wreck the train WAS con-
sumed by fire and Conductor Netherland
and Fireman Elkens lost their lives. IL
is generally understood that the parties
who are guilty of causing the disaster have
been discovered and that in short time
they will be arrested. Upon the arrest,
DicksOn's innocence will be quickly
proven and he will be acquitted Of the
charge against him. The general impress
sion is and has been that Dickson IL in
nocent OF the charge. Dickson lett to-

the slim audience. Oxide Musin az vic.
linist ia wonder. No man who ever
stood on the Opera House stage played as
he did last evening Miss Tanners sing
ing was a treat such as is very seldom
vouchssfed to Wheeling audience.
Miss Montegiif1o lever sang better
and Mr. Schsr's piano playing
WAS perfection. Signor Mania possesses q
splendid voice, which he bardles beauti
fully. Nearly all the Numbers were wig
orously encored snd the performers were
compelled to snswer them. The entbu-
siasm Of the audience, though small, WAS
especially great after Mr. Musin had fin-
ished his remarkable performance on one
string. Wheeling people certainly do not
deeerve to hear good music whtn they
allow snch an opportunity to slip by. 1t
was the verdict OF many that the concert
was the bes. one ever heard in the Optrl
