4 Most Artistic Rendition OF q Very Fine
} Programme.
Wheeling has good reason to be proud
OF her leading professional musical or.
ganizatiom. Few cities of her popula-
ton support an orchestra which ap.
proaches in merit the Wheeling Opera
House Orchestra. Made up In large
part OF artista who are in love with
their profession, theirs is labor Of love,
yet tho people Of the city ought to give
them all substantial encouragement.
The audience which gathered at the
Opera House last evening to enjoy the
annual concert Of the orchestra was OF a
character to show that the best people
do appreciate the organizations efforts
to keep abreast OF the musical culture
Of the day. The house was filled, and
the auditors were people Of refinement
and musical taste. *Erl I.,
. The orchestra was reinforced on this
OCCASION by the. following well.known
Pittsburgh musicians: first violin, John
Gernet and Mr.. Doelz; second violin,
Otto .Gantzky; Cello, Oh. Chopper;
viola, Charles Weis; oboe, A. Beckert;
horns, Mcssrs. G. Leipzig and Arbogast.
Miss Anna Lang also gave acceptable
aid with her harp, and Master Alfred
Spell was heard with much pleasure in
a violin solo. Thase two young perform.
ers and Mr.. Grimm on his flute, demon
strated that Wheeling need borrow from
her larger neighbor not talent but
strength. -..7s
Better orchestral music is seldom
heard anywhere. For the house the vol
nme was also sufficient. The following

The recent article in the Fairfield jour
at the foot of Moosehesd Lake has brought
out "A storm of indignant denials from all
quarters. Hon Elias Milliken, president
of the kennebee Log Driving Company, a
gentleman largely interested in lumber lands
and mill Industries. was recently inter
viewed and said
"The dam is in a perfectly safe condi.
ton. II is n succession of heavy log piers
and gates 10 regulate the water in the river.
The piers are built of logs with solid film.
of rocks and are very strong. The dam is
a low structure, raising the water but be
tween seven and eight feet sad is thoroughly
inspected and repaired every season"
Hon. William Philbrick, for many years
treasurer of the Log Driving Company
:. W. Philbrick, the present tree -urer. and
Levi W. Weston, for years engaged in the
lumber business, all agree that The dam is
safe and that the beautiful keune nee valley
is in no danger of being treated to Johns
town bath. Says Mr. s. W. hilbrick
treasurer of the company
Aho" 'selve years since, four gates
bet two piers went out with the pres

The company towed boom containing one

Augusta Railroad Business.

One has but poor idea of the vast
amount of freight handled by the Maine
Central at this station, even with the figures
themselves to look at As is known the
railroad year ends September Both, and the
following is the business for the past year ::
Tons received, 81 ISL: net earnings, s40,-
3s7 IS Tons forwarded, 9, 429 net earn
ings, SIS ,622 IL. Total, 1870 tons with
total earnings of S56 ,0l9.04. For the pre-
vious year there was received 2,363 tons,
and forwarded G. 1913 tons, with an earning
of s47 .334 49, This gives a gain for the
pas, year of s. lS5 tons handled and IS 6s4.-
81 gain in earnings.
Allowi z ten tons to car the freight
handled in 1889 would load PISS cars, and
as each car is about two rods in length, we
would have train about seventeen and
three eighths long. or ole that would reach
from this city nearly to the depot at Rich
mond Augusta sells more passenger tick
ct. than any other office on the line with a
single exception. Portland. During the
year Sc, G5S passengers were carried to and
from this station giving net earning of s52,-

The New England Meteorological Soci-

issued its bulletin giving . review Of the
weather for December. 1889 The bulletin
says:
The last month Of 1881 ard 1889 we're
the two warmest Defenders in New Eng
land during the past quarter century, the
period covered by our records. The mean
temperature for the month just past vas
about s.5 deg. above the normal; this il
slightly in excess Of the mean for the cor
responding mouth Of 1881, making Decem-
Der, 1888, the warmest month of which We
have record A study Of the precipita-
ton records makes this anomalous temper
sture surprising. Throughout the district
the precipitation was light, there being an
average deficiency of about Of an inch in
some places the deficiency amounted TO
nearly inches, while . few places had
slight excuses. On eleven days during the
month, the weather vas generally clear
With practically no rainfall anywhere in
New England and Of the remaining twenty
on only nine days we're there general rains.
The sno~fa vas light and practically
none remained on the ground At the end Of
the month. From such conditions one
would naturally be led to expect large d.
urnai variations and 4 low mean tempera-
ture in December. But in fact the temper
