THE W. 6 C. RAILROAD.
What q Waynesburg, Pa, Nan Has to shy
~ About tho Project.

What q Waynesburs, Pa, Man Has to Say
About tho Project.
W. H. Evans, one OF the editors OF the
Wayncsburg Republican, was in Wash
ington this morning, accompanied by
his vile and daughter, en- route to
Parkcrsburg, W. Va, says Saturdays
Washington, Pa, Journal. Mr.. Evans
states that the people OF his county are
greatly concerned about the route OF
the Wheeling & Connellsville railroad,
and are leaving no stone .unturned that
will in any way advance their chances.
Like all WayIcsburg people, he is CON
tidcnt that the most feasible route is by
way OF that place, and that the officials
OF the proposed road will finally come
to the same conclusion. While it is
natural for Washington county people
to desire that the line should go their
way, he thinks our railroad facilities arc
already good. and that We should give
Greene county chance.
Mr. Evans is OF the belief that the
proposed railroad from Warrington, W.
Va, to Waynesburg, where it will con-
meet with the w. & W. R. R., will be q
60, and that it will be paying line.
While, OF course, he would like to sec
the Mt. Morris branch built, he is not
SO confident of its success.

Good Attractions tho rule these Days Mt

The people who chronically growl at
the poor attractions that come to
Wheeling IRE not saying much now.
The current season bids fair to be a
memorable one in the annals OF the To-
cal stage for the fine attractions afford
cd. One OF the best OF these, and one
OF the most highly appreciated was Nat
Goodwin in "The Nominee" at the
Orera House Saturday night. 1t is not
often that this city can enjoy perform
ancec by two such representative come
dams as Jefferson and Goodwin within
4 week. Goodwin in this comedy is
Goodwin. He did not SO much create
the part rs it was created for. him, and
the result was very pleasing to tho au-
dience, which filled all parts OF the
house 10 Overlooking, and laughed up
roariously and applaudcd wildly by
turns. At the end OF each act Mr..
Goodwin was called out.

FRANK IIESNIo IN FRISCO.
Readers OF the ISTELLIGEScEE will be
glad 10 learn that Frank Hennig, OF this
city, is winning high place in the his
trionic ranks by his work OH tho
Pacific slope. The San Francisco Music
aud Drama, in its notice OF Mr.. Kcene's
"Othello," has this: Frank Hennig rs
I1go deserves great credit. This young
actor is just at the commencement OF
his career as a leading man, and a
heavier responsibility could not have
been imposed upon him. He was ner-
rous during his first scene, which
proved that he realized the importance
OF his undertaking; but he soon gained
confidence and gave an intelligent and
meritorious performance. There were
several defects he would do we'll to
remedy before again attempting the
part: lago should present himself to
fhello as a rough, blunt, honest soldier,
but Mr.. Hennig conveys the idea that;
hewas more OF courtier; also, when
called upon to display his eal3feclinr
towards Othello by facial expression he
should exhibit Hatred or malignant,
y JOY; whereas he seems 10 regard his
general with loathing. However; mucl,
praise is due to this clever young actor,
and he well deserved tho call which he
shared with Mr.. Kecne. .i.i5 iiiI7i55@552
