others and a little behind them. Just rs
the last shot was fired, Miss Phillips re-.
marked that the ball had bounced back
and hit her, but that 1t didn't hurt her.
None OF the rest OF the party knew at the

She sat down on II Log for a few minutes,

Comparatively speaking, no civ in tho
Union can boast OF n cleaner criminal
record than Wheeling, but the atrocious
and brutal details Of the tragedy enacted
on Market street last night far outsttins
any recorded in the criminal calendars
OF any other city, and is only pounlIaj
in shocking and inhuman butchery hv
the White Chapel murders. The plare
selected by the murderous iends for
their terrible crime was the lot adjoining
the Wheeling 1nstalment Company'snew
stores on Market street, and back Of thu
building now in the course Of cors,rnr.
ton there. From what can be learned
at present, the murder must have been
committed before II o'clock. Some saw
1t was done before tho Wheeling install.
ment Company had. closed its doors for
the night. Upon inquiries at their stores
We were informed that tho firm did not
close till 1880 on Saturdays. How n
murder could be committed on such
prominenttlioroughfare while the streets
were alive with people without attract.
Ing public attention is indeed mystery.
From the terrible mutilated appearance
OF the murdered mans head, il is sup.
posed he was sand.bagged and his BODY
literally carved. The body lag parallel
with the Wheeling Instalment Com.
pany's store and little east OF it. The
victim, apparently u very respectable
man, was dressed rather stylish and
wore silk hat with the initials III. p"

Not oitcn-certainly not oftener than
once year-does the Wheeling public
have as interesting an event to look for
ward to as that which is announced to
take place at the Opera House Friday
afternoon, February IA.
On that occasion the famous, popular
and thrilling drama, "Jim, the Pen,nan,"
Ia to be given for, the benefit OF Wheel.
ing Lodge, No. %, b. p. o. Elks. The
company which originally presented
the piece for such successful run at the
Madison Square Theatre, New York,
will appear In 1t here for the first time,
and under the management OF Mr.. j.
NJ. Palmer OF that theatre. 3
Heretofore the piece has been present.
cd here by another company, good
one, Of course, but not the equal OF this
one. The play under any circumstances
would draw well. With Mr.. palmer's
original great organization 1t might be
relied on any time TO pack the house.
When II Is taken into consideration that
on this occasion the proceeds aro for the
replenishing Of the charity fund OF this
benevolent order, which is doing good
work, and that home talent Ms popular
as Wheeling boasts, is to assist, and the
play to be given amid a wealth OF deco.
rations TO make which no expense or
trouble has been thought too great, It is
safe to wager that the walls will have to
be torn down aud tho audience allowed
to overflow into Market and Fourteenth
streets.
The sale OF seats is TO open at g. A.
Houses music store Friday morning. A,
s o'clock list Of the names Of those in
line will be started, and at 0 this list
will be called in the proper order. Thost
having bought tickets from members
can have them exchanged for reserved
seat checks. 1t is unnecessary to urge
the Importance OF being on hand early
This will be an old time rush.
