A VERY BOLD BURGLARY.
A Masked Robber Enters a
Prominent Citizens House,
GETS CONSIDERABLE BOOTY,
And Leaves when Discoyered-No
Clue to the Thief who was Evl.
IDENTIFY Acquainted with the
Pfemises-seen by a Lady,

About 8 o'clock yesterday morning
one Of tbs boldest burglaries reported
in Wheeling for years, occurred on
North Main street, A man entered the
residence Of Mr., George K, Wheat by a
window opening on the rear in the first
story. He left evidences that he had
pretty thoroughly searched through the
first story, but having failed to discover
any portable property to his liking in
that part Of the house, he went up
stairs and renewed operations in the
third story, in the room Of Mr.. George
Wheat, IT,, where he secured sos in
money and a gold watch, OF this sum,
SO was in a pocket.book, The book
was left, The other S55 was stuffed in
the bottom OF pistol case, with the pis.
toll on top, The money was taken out.
but the pistol was left.
The thief next went into the second
story, and entered a room occupied by
Miss Norton, a niece Of Mr.. Wheat's,
where he made thorough search. Miss
Norton was awake, and observed the
man closely, though she was too thor.
oughly frightened TO cry out, As soon
as the man left the room, however, she
raised an alarm, when the thief fled,
Miss Norton says the man wore q
mask coming down to his mouth, but
had no beard, She could not give any
description that could lead to the identI-
6cation Of the man,
Information Of the robbery was given
the police, but II they had any theory
about 1t they kept 1t very quiet.
This is Mr., Wheat's second expert
ence with burglars. On the former oc.
casion his valuable silyerware was all
stolen. The thief Of yesterday morning
must either have known the premises
pretty well, or have had light.

MURDER THR MOTIVE.
An Attempt Made to Blow Up Cleveland
8 Pittsburgh Depot up the River.


3 Pittsburgh Depot up the River,
A report comes from Rush Run, Ohio,
to the effect that the people Of that little
community are considerably exercised
over diabolical attempt made last Mon.
day night to blow up and destroy the
Cleveland & Pittsburgh station at that
point and kill the station master, tina!
BY some proyidential interference failed
10 materialize, A two-pound charge OF
dynamite was seCTeted under the station
building and attached to 1t was a long
fuse that was carried under the track 70
a point some distance away, where the
tiend who set the mine oil destruction
could secrete himself out OF sight and
harms way and fire the thing. 1t has
always been the custom OF tue station
master to 20 to the station every night
about ESQ o'clock TO look around
and see that everything was in
good shape, and usually at this
time he would sit down and read for an
hour or so. Monday night, however,
he failed for some reason to make this
usual visit and to that fact he probably
owes his life. Early the next morning,
Tuesday, the fuse leading under the
building was discovered by some one
and the dynamite found and removed.
Murder must have been the only motive
OF the sCoundrel who laid the trap, for
the station is u building OF little value
and contained nothing Of special worth,

AN EIHGASF RECEPTION
Given by.Mt and Mrs, Michael
Reilly last ENsuing
AT THEIR HosPITABLE HOME.
ono of the Notable Social Successes
orths Present Season Ep1oyed by
a Large Number of Whecl'
ing's Society Folk

A large and fashionable reception was
given by Mr., and Mrs NJ, Reilly at their
residence, No, IS Fourteenth street, last
night that was one Of the most elegant
social affairs Wheeling society has
known for some time. II was an event
that had been looked forward to with
the pleasautest OF antiCipatons by the
large number houored with invitations,
and those anticipations were certainly
fully realized; the memories Of the affair
cannot fail to be among the most delight
full Of the list Of society events OF the
season OF 1850, 80.
The entire house was brilliantly
lighted and thrown open for the enter
taiument OF the guests. The floors were
covered with snowy linen and flowers,
which were used with good effect In
decorating the rooms, perlumed the air
with their fragrance, The guests com,
menced to arrive about 0 O'Clock and
continued to come for nearly two
hours, They were received in
the double parlors by Mr., and Mrs,
Reilly, who were assisted by Mrs, n. t,
Carr, Miss Sophie Carr, Miss Marian
Shriyer, Miss Tillle Reilly and Mr., viii
Miller. A more artistic blending Of
rich party effects, costly jewels and del
icate laCes has perhaps never been seen
| in social gathering here, than was pre-
scented in the large parlors when the re-.
ception was at its height, A number Of
new and strikingly handsome gowns
were worn, aud the rich dressing Of the
ladies in general was such as to be q
matter OF comment, and added mater
ially to the air OF elegance that per-
yaded, Mrs. Reilly's costume was q
very handsome black velvet, trimmed
with gold, aud her ornaments were
superb diamonds.
The Opera House orchestra furnished
music for dancing, which was INDUCED
in by the younger guests, while the older
ones found enjoyment over card tables
or in an exchange OF small talk.
A splendid supper was served con-
tinuously during the reception. The re.
ireshments were OF the choicest kind and
nicely served by an efficient corps Of
walters.
There was that completeness Of ar!
rangement about all the details so that
nothing was left to be done that could
have in any way added TO the pleasure
OF the event. Mr.. and Mrs, Reilly were
the recipients Of countless congratu.
lations over the brilliant success they
achieved. It was not until a late hour
that the last carriage had rolled away
and a notable reception had become
pleasant memory.

A Girl Arrested for Theft Adopts n Novel
Plan OF COucealniont.
A man named Wilson, giving his
home as West Alexander, yesterday
morning complained to the police that a
girl named Jennie Black, whom he met
ut Ann Wooster's house, in Centre
Wheeling, had robbed him OF so. 1t is
said that Wilson scarcely ever comes TO
town that he Is not made the victim OF
some such robbery. HISTORY Is that he
called at the Wooster house, and the
Black girl took him to Ida Nichols simi.
liar resort on Nineteenth street. There
she took his pocket book while he was
asleep, but he recovered 1t. He again
went TO sleep, and when he awoke the
purse could not be found.
The girl was arrested, and at the lock.
up was searched without result. Just
alter the search was finished Officer
Gaus saw her take two $40 bills from
under towel on the washstand and try
to conceal them in her stocking. Gaus
demanded the money, but instead OF
giving 1t up the girl placed 1t in her
mouth and swallowed 1t.
The money was scarcely down her
throat until she BECAME deathly sick,
and her symptoms were so alarming that
DR.. Garrison was called. He applied
the usual remedies without effect, the
girl continuing to vomit at brief inter.
walls for several hours. She was finally
removed to the Wooster house, where
she remained pretty sick until late last
evening.
Wilson offered the police $40 to re.
cover the money, and afterwards offered
the girl S. to return 1t, but 50 far 1t has
not been recovered.
