ADJUSTMENTS.

Johnson & Slayin's Minstrels at the Opera
House last night had large audience. The
company is very large and very strong. 1t
is the most richly costumed minstrel COM
pany that has appeared here, and its spec
tacular arrangement in the first part was
entirely new and decidedly original 1t is
musically strong-William Stephens, tenor
Harry Forseman, baritone, and Raymond
Shaw, falsetto tenor, having notably fine
voices, and enunciating with a distinctness
alists. Carroll Johnson is himself
vocalist of no small caliber.
Slavin, mimic of a rare order, johnson,
one of the best imitators and all around
and versatile minstrel comedians seen here.
Burt Haverly, mirth-provokipg actor,
and Tommy Donnelly, a dry wit, are the
end men. There are nearly thirty men in
the company, and none of them are weak
in the business given them upon the stage
1t was dressy, snowy and spectacular en-
tertainment, but not old time negro min
strelsy. The only suggestion of the real
plantation hand, with his quaint and inim-
liable action, vocalism and dancing. was
that given by Johnson and several assist
ants in 1.-THE Wedding at Uncle Jeffs"
In that johnson revived capitally the plan
tation and river scenes of the cruel slavery
days" Two lads gave very clever exhibit
ton OF boxing, group of clog-dancers
led by Mccoy, Malcolm, the female imptr-
senator. Slavin, Johnson and Donnelly and
the McShane lads, in specialties filled the
numbers between the first and third parts,
the latter being an odd musical travesty
upon comic opera, and the first being an
excellent vocal and instrumental pro-
gramme. 1t was, as a whole, superior
minstrel entertainment, and fully up TO the
advance announcements made of it. The
company appears again this evening.
One of the pleasantest entertainments
given in the city for some time past was
that at the Congregational Church by c. E.
Bolton, entitled, The Land of the Mid
night Sum- The lecture was illustrated
by large number of superb lime-light
views, pronounced the finest ever seen in
the city. The comparatively unfamiliar
scenery of Norway and Sweden, Lapland,
Finland and Iceland was presented to the
spectators in such viyidly realistic form
that it seemed hard for them to believe
that they We're not gazing upon the very
scenes which were portrayed by art. The
descriptive matter, moreover, was of the
most instructive and enjoyable nature, the
speaker describing the scenes pictured,
which he had visited, in charming style.
It's understood that the members of the
Association were so well pleased with Mr..
Bottoms lecture that they have secured
promise from him TO return and deliver
another.
The Verein Eintrscht makes an excur-
sion to Woodland tomorrow, to engage in

krapz, at Coils Grove. The train leaves
the depot at A. NJ. sharp. and the tickets

SUNDAY BASE BALL.
The Wheeling Club VIII Get Grounds In
Bellalre.

The Wheeling Club VIII Get Grounds In
Bellalre.
In spite of oil efforts to prevent it, there
will be Sunday base ball games in this vi
cinity soon. The management of the
Wheeling club have determined upon this
point, and although blocked in one direc-
ton, there are numerous ways open to them.
Negotiations are about completed for the
beautiful grounds on the Ohio side, Just
at the Bellsire ferry landing,
and only few minor matters
remain to be settled before the club takes
possession Of them. The grounds are
equally as good as the club now has. They
are easily accessible and will furnish every
convenience to the patrons of the game.
A prominent official of the club said last
night, that it would cost several hEn-
dred dollars to place the new
grounds in proper condition, and
1t was hoped that the Ferry Company. the
owners Of the steamer Bellaire, and the
street car company would contribute for
this purpose All of these parties would
be directly benefited by change Of
grounds, and he thought it was no more
than just that they should bear a portion
of the expense. II they did 20, he con-
tinued, there could be little trouble about
making all arrangements to play on the
new grounds.
Another clnb official thought that
game would be played by next Sunday,
but Others were inclined to discount this
statement. If the club secures the Bel
lsire grounds it will mean an end TO base
ball on the Island. The Island grounds
will be OF no use, and they would be let
90 Immediately.

Drowned at Mart,n's Ferry.

A very sad drowning occurred at Mar
tins Ferry last evening. Fred Shipman,
a seyentesn-year-Old son of Levi shipman,
was the unfortunate victim Of the accident.
He in company with about twenty-five
other boys Of ages ranging from fifteen to
twenty years, were in the river at the
foot Of Walnut street, bathing. The party
had been swimming a race from Hanover
20 Walnut streets, and Shipman in his ex-
element swan into a pile Of drift wood
which had lodged against raft of piles
belonging to Paige, Carey & Co., and in
tended TOR the bridge construction. At
the point where the drift had lodged the
water was about ten feet deep, and the
boy soon drowned he apparently having
been entangled il the brush Of which the
drift pile is composed. Several Of his
companions tried to assist him, but to no
purpose. An effort was made at once to
ind the body, but up till late last night
the search had been unsuccessful.

FOUR FATALITIES.
WILLIE BODBNSTEN CUT TO PIECES BY A
TRAIN
Down at Forty-Eghh Street. Yesisrday-Fred Ship
man Drowned Over At Martins Ferry.
Two Other Drownings

A terrible accident occurred at the BOgVs'
run coal shute yesterday. A bright young
boy, the victim Of his own carelessness,
was ground in pieces, and his agOnized
playmates and friends were unable to raise
q hand to save him from his cruel death
About II q. m. Willie Bodenstein, the
young victim, was playing about the coal
shute in company with a number Of other
lads Of his own age. Bodenstein was on
the dump, above the B. & o. tracks, not
two minutes before the accident, ard
crossed over the tipple to the other side.
A few yards down below the dump six
cars laden with ore for the Belmont mill
stood on the switch, and the yard engine
moved down to take them off. Boden-
stein Immediately came down on the
track and began looking for Goals, stirring
up the ballast with a long stick that he
carried in his hand. The engine coupled
to the cars and moved up at a rapid rate
TO make a flying switch. II shot cut the
main hne while the six heavy ore cars
Numbered on mp the switch. The
boy stood right under the dump with
his back turned, and the fireman called to
him. He turned, jumped away, while two
cars passed, and then by some unnaecount-
able accident, which none can explain, ex-
cept that be WAS trying to throw his stick
under the train, fell under the wheels Of
the third car. The four fingers Of the right
hand were cut of in moment, and then
the body was dragged under the wheels and
literally cut in pieces. The head was sew
cred from the body, as clean as if done with
q knife. Half dozen people were Mortified
itnessel Of the accident, but scarcely
bad time to utter a scream, before it was
all over. Coroner Schulize was Immediately
notified, and the remains were gathered
up. They were placed in box and view
ed BY that official, who decided that an
inquest wss not necessary.
The young victim was about twelve
years old, and lived on Jacob street, be-
tween Forty-fitth and FOrty-sixth. II has
been the custom Of the boys of the neigh
borhood to gather about the Boggs run
shute, in order to PICK up coal The
Waterman has been greatly troubled with
them, and has made repeated Efforts to
keep them away. The practice is dan
ger0us one and should be stopped. The
death Of young Bodenstein only empha-
sizes tie necessity for breaking up this
perilous habit,

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
The New Company and the City Keacl
an ARreament


The New Company and the City Reach
an Agreement.
Representatives of the Postal Telegraph
Company and the subcommittee Of Coun-
Gil have practically settled all the prelim-
inaries incident to. the company's entrance
into the city, and it is now certain that
Wheeling will soon have two competing
telegraph lines Mr.. ]. W. Waterman,
the Postals Superintendent for this place,
met Messrs. Waterhouse and O'Kane, of
the Council committee last night in the
Howell House, and after a thorough dis
cussiOn of all the points involved, came to
a perfect agreement.
The representatives of the city asked
that the corporation be granted the privi-
lage of hanging police and fire alarm wires
on the postal poles, and that clause be
inserted in the ordinance providing that
if the Postal Company should ever be con-
sOlidsted with any other company, or in
any other way it should cease to be an in
dependent and competing system, its poles
and wires in the city should lapse 10 the
corporation. The provision that the COM
pany should render free service to the city,
which was at first suggested in Council,
was not insisted on.
Mr.. Waterman readily agreed TO both
requests, and steps were taken to frame an
ordinance embodying them. 1t will be
presented to Council this evening. The
line of route for the new wires will be as
follows: From north city limits via Main
street to First or Johnathan's ravine, on
First street to Coal, on Coal street to Fourth
or Sixth street, on Fourth or Sixth street
to Market, on Market to Twelfth, or via.
Alley @ to Twelfth, from Twelfth street
to Office, to be hereafter located. The
postal representatives have already ordered
and secured large number of poles, and
work will be begun on this route as soon
as the Council passes the ordinance.
