The regular monthly meeting of the
new Hospital Association was held at
the Young Mems Christian Association
rooms yesterday afternoon, and there
was a good representation of ladies in
tereSted in the benevolent project. One
of the principal topics that came up for
discussion was the more advantageous
location OF the hospital, and the proba
bility of securing the Wheeling Female
College. One of the prominent lady
members of the Association recently
had talk with one Of the Trustees of the
school, and she inferred from what was
said that the building would soon be Of
tered for sale at public auction; at all
events the college would not be resumed.
While some very desirable property in
the Eighth ward is already in the hands
Of the hospital association. for building
purposes. the ladies. with view 10 eX
pediting, and possibly ecOnOmizing
matters, are particularly DESTROYS OF
securing some well-lOcated property,
with buildings already thereon, in which
event they could easily dispose of the
land already purchased in South Wheel
ing Nearly all of the ladies present
were iavorably impressed with the Fe-
male College building, and be-
leved it was admirably adapted
for the purpose. or course the
necessary interior alterations would
have to be made to adapt the building
10 such IN altogether different use TO
that TO which the building has so long
been put. But that would be minor
consideration compared TO the entire
construction of building as originally
proposed One Of the ladies present
said she attended school there number
OF years, and so far As the healthfulneSS
Of the location was concerned, believed
there was no question. She said she
never experienced any sanitary diScOm-
forts, and heard no complaints from the
other pupils. In this regard she be-
leved that IL was one OF the best lOca-
tiOnS in the city.
lNearly all the ladies present concurred
in these views, and there was no dis
Senting voice at the meeting, although
one or two OF the ladies while chatting
at the close Of the session, raised the
question as To whether the building,
old aS 10 was and subjected 10 the eff
fects OF the constant explosions at the
tunnel so adjacent. would be consider
ed wholly safe, aS residents in that
neighborhood had reported that they
had experienced the shaking of their
houses at different times. No other
locations were proposed, and it was
recommended that the directors OF the
Hospital Association place a bid IN the
field on the occasion OF the sale.
The secretary OF the recent Kirmess
read the financial sizing up, which was
To the effect that the total receipts at
the Opera House for the sale OF seats
were Sl.G55.95. The total expenses OF
carving on the kirmeSS outside the
services of Prof. Speedy were S2sS.lj, /

Speedy was 20 get 40 per cent. OF the
the net receipts he received, less his
hotel bills, amounting 10 S91.GJ, the
sum of Sjl9.41, which, deducted from |

pleased with the showing that they

production some time this month
or the first OF February, if
satisfactory arrangements can be made. |
TnaS,uurh a. all the performances were !
50 well patronized, and some OF them al
most to the extent of overlooking, it is
believed that many in the city and sur
rOuadingS did not get an opportunity TO
