THE KERMoIs NOW ON.
Prof. Hawkins, of Mansfield, Ohio, Has
Been Engaged.

There was meeting Of the entertain
ment committee Of the Ladies Hospital
association last evening at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Speidel on
Chapline street. While it has not been
generally known there has been a
movement on foot among the ladies for
some little time relative to RELOCATING
with all due respect Prof. Speedy TO the
rear. The heavy charges and eXoroit-
ant percentage demand do not harm
onize with the object for which it is
given, and it is now definitely settled
that Prof. Speedy will not
be with US in the Kermoise
this season. This step was taken after
sizing up the opinions OF large number
OF people, all of whom were strenuously
opposed to paying such large sum Tor
instruction, especially considering the
fact that the ladies already have the
basis of the affair still fresh in their
minds from the Kermiss of last winter.
But the Kermoise is still on, just the
same. 1t will be given with all its glory
and glitter, and on an even grander
scale than before. 1t was decided last
night to hold it at the Opera House, on
the 18th, 18th and goth of February.
These dates come on convenient days,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
But the new instructor. Well, now
listen. 1t is Prof. Hawkins, OF Mans
field, Ohio, the same gentleman who so
successfully navigated the Kermiss in
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, last season, and about
which there has been so much talk.
The Kermiss as given under Prof. Haw-
kins was a social triumph. 1t will be
the same here. Several Wheeling peo-
ple have received letters from friends in
GAINESVILLE in which they eXtol the
efforts of Prof. Hawkins. The price he
asks is far less than that OF Prof.
Speedy, and besides he has charming
helpmeet to assist him.
Under Prof. Hawkins guidance sew
eral if not all of the dances will be re-
modelled, and many bran new terpsich-
orean novelties will be introduced.
Prof. Hawkins has several of these
affairs on hand for this winter, and has
proven very popular everywhere. HN
will likely visit here shortly and conf, Z
with the ladies as to the time and man
ner of rehearsals. The ladies have
made a good move.

maptelrs peculiar accident.

Few. if any, of the hundreds OF peo-
pie who list ned to the celebrated actor,
Robert Mantell, last Saturday, knew
little of the singular accident that be-
fell him in Cincinnati.
One evening, while playing his part,
he made sudden gesture and the Sec
ond finger of his left hand caught In
the clothing of one of his company and
was bent back on his hand. Mantell
never stopped in his part, but went on
in his lines. although every motion felt
as though knife pierced his hand. A
doctor was called in, and between the
acts made an examination. He found
that the tendon OF the finger had been
broken and piece broken OF the bone.
Mantell would have no cement or
bandages placed on his injured hand
while on the stage. After the perform
ance the doctor dressed the injured
member, and on each succeeding night
Mantell would remove the bandages,
play his part, and on returning to his
dressing-room have them replaced.

A Destitute Boy.

Yesterday evening a twelve-year-old
boy named John Miller arrived over the
Baltimore and Ohio road from Colum-
bus. He was entirely destitute as to
means, and bore letter from Rev. j.
Jessig, of that city, stating that the boy
had been an inmate of the asylum under
the writer's charge, but being unruly,
it had been determined TO send him to
this city, where his parents reside. The
boy had been in the institution for six
years, and knew no one here. He said
his grandfather was in this city, but he
did not know his name. The boy was
taken to the City Hall and turned over
TO Chief Delbrugge, who has chare OF
him until his relatives are found.

zone would be to widen Market alley,

Fifteenth street to Market, and the
third is the digging Of tunnel through

City Engineer lay out the work,

oners on the job, we would
have something tangible for them to
work at, and the community would be a

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1891-03-20

It seems that, after all, the "splendid'
military record OF General Palmer, the
newly elected Senator from Illinois, was
not so splendid. Hoturned his back on
the Union army at critical time, and
General Grant, in his book, speaks OF
Palmef's action as exceedingly repre-
hensible." He was serving under sher-
man in the Atlanta campaign when he
resigned in huff, and that great com.
mander thus gives an estimate Of the
man in his Memoirs:
"General Palmer was u man Of ability,
but was not enterprising. His three
divisions were compact and strong, well
commanded, admirable on the defensive,
but slow TO move or to act on the Often
siye. His corps had sustained up to
that time [the attack on Atlanal fewer
hard knocks than any other corps in the
whole army, and was anxious to give
it a chance" When General Palmer,
in the face OF the enemy, insisted upon
his resignation being accepted Gen. JEFF.
q. Davis was given command of the
corps, and General Sherman adds in his
Memoirs; "Thencetorward I had no
reason to complain Of the slowness or
inactivity Of that splendid corps"
Democrats who are training Palmer
for the presidency in the hope Of cap.
turing the soldier vote with him, should
20 slow. In the face of these estimatesol
him by Grant and Sherman, 1t is not
likely that his nomination would create
a great amount Of enthusiasm among the
veterans.

The tower OF the public building now

to be provided with a clock, which for
size alone, will be one OF the marvels Of
the world. The center Of the dial (25
feet in diameter) will be 351 feet above

take year to place the clock machinery
in the tower after the building has been
completed. The bell Is to weigh between
10000 and 25,000 pounds, and will be
second in weight to the great Montreal
Cathedral bell, which weighs $4,000
pounds, and 1t Is calculated that its peal
will be heard even to the most distant
part OF the city. Chimes similar to those
