The eclipse Of the moon here in

ing last night, and the following are
the brief expressions Of a few OF the
amateur astronomers:
scRAPED OFF THE PENUMBRA.
Thomas Darrah-A very satisfactory
performance. The blend of the um-
bra with the penumbra was beautiful.
Harry McLure-It was corker.
Col. Bill Exley-Never seen anything
equal to it at Atlantic City.
VIII Grubb-Used glasses, but I'll be
hanged If 1 could find it. Heard 1t
was great.
Jack Glasscock-It was a complete

like it since the war.
Sam Harrison = The confederation
of circumstances proceeded In such a
reciprocal duplicate ratio, that the ac-
centuation OF the perumbra with the
periphery was lovely.
w. II. Fee-Understand it's great,
but I've left my specs at home.
officer Conrad-It beats anything
Ive seen on my beat lately.
City Clerk Thoner-I don't seem to
find a clause in the license ordinance
covering this exhibition.
Fire Chief Healy-It's pretty near out
of sight.
Manager Genther-As performance,
1 suppose it's all right, but 1t goes
slow.
Detective Lukens-I'm on to it.
A. L. Rice-A pretty shady affair,
but it caught on. 1t is wonderful how
astronomers figure this thing down SO
almost infinitesimally.
Christian L. Schnepf-I am not In on
the eclipse. With thermometer, rain
guage, and weather flags, l have my
hands full.
DR.. Rhees-The almanacs or the pa
pers are of. The eclipse didn't come
off at the same time as advertised by
both.
Engineer Seeley-The moons short
circuited, sure.
Unknown Strenger-Moon N mes
both in the same hx(hic)-both (hic)
full.
His Honor, the Mayor don't see
why these eclipses of the moon are all
arranged to come off at night. Ihey
ought to be in daylight, when we could
see what is going on.

marcation between the portion OF the

Otto Commlttee-Saw it through a

Some time ago Mrs. Montgomery,
Of near Claysville, Pa, come to this
city, with one of her eight children
to escape, as she says, the cruelty OF
her husband, and stopped with Mrs.
Hunt, on the Island. She SAID her
husband was given to drinking, and
was very abusive, and upon occasions
insisted upon bringing a female friend
TO the house, against the wishes Of his
wife.
Saturday, Montgomery came to the
city, and finding his wife was at Mrs.
Hunts he went over, broke down the
door, played havoc with the household
property, and taking the child crossed
over to Bridgeport. The police were
notified, and officer Conrad went to
Bridgeport after Montgomery. He
found his man returning with the child
and a bottle of liquor. He took pos
session of the child and restored it to it's
mother, the father again fleeing to Ohio.

In the Case Of W, Ii. Viii man, of IRON
ton, Who is Wanted In Virginia for Lar
ceny-A Peculiar Case.
COLUMBUS, O., November 15.-Gov-
ernor Campbell and Acknowledgement
Watson were occupied for some time
yesterday in giving official attention to
a complicated case, involving inter-
State questions. 1t was the requisition
from the Governor OF Virginia for W..
H. Whitman, prominent young cap
italist of Ironton, o.
The reQuisition is based upon an in
dictment for larceny in Rockbridge
county, Virginia. Whitman's father
and two brothers are engaged in bust
ness in this city.
There is long story back Of the
charge against young Whitman. He
furnished the capital for establishing a
stove factory some years ago In Glas-
cow, Va. The stove factory was To-
Gated there to boom the town, and an
improvement company that owned all
the lots agreed to pay a fabulous bonus
for the enterprise.
The bottom dropped out Of the boom,
and the factory ceased operation upon
the Improvement company failing to
meet payments on the bonus. Whitman
had secured three notes on the improve
ment company aggregating S23, 900,
which he held to secure him for the re-
mainder of the bonus. The company
attempted to secure possession OF the
notes when the factory stopped. They

ton of the contract, and when Whit
man drew the notes from the bank and
transferred them to his wife, they had
him indicted for larceny. This morning
]. II. Shank, a representative OF the
Rockbridge Company, appeared at the
Governors Office and requested the
reQuisition.
The Witmans were present with COL
onel Evan Williams and Thomas X.
johnson, of Ironton, as their attorneys.
After hearing the arguments, the Gov
ernor refused to grant the requisition,
holding that no offense was committed.
Stories of sensational character re-
garding Whtman's past life come from
Ironton. 1t is claimed that he is a
spendthrift and general high roller. A
few years ago he married Miss Madge
McGovern, the daughter Of wealthy
iron manufacturer, by which he OBJ

her father. The wedding was clandes-
tine and furnished much food for the
gossips. The young man enjoys an ex-

The Boston Transcript says:
Last nights performance OF Banlm $
"Damon and Pythias" by Mr.. Robert
Downing and his strong company at the
Grand Opera House was another trl-
umph for the popular actor.
Mr.. Downing'S damon" Is one OF his
strong roles, and he portrayed it last
night in manner that fully deserved
the hearty applause, and what was more
gratifying, the tears 1t called tortn
bear witness to the actors powers IN
heroic aud pathetic parts. Mr.. Down
ing's rich, melodious voice and the hre
and force of his acting carried his audi
ence with him throughout the perform
ance.
