Fine Performance,

The queen of tragedy held her i'm
perial sway at the Opera House last
night in the mimic presentation OF that
other great queen, Elizabeth, of Eng
land, in the play of Essex, or the
Queens Favorite." That Nine. Janau-
schek is one OF the greatest living tragic
actresses needs no demonstration. Her
title has long since been approved. Her
portrayal of the complicated character
of Queen Bess" was true to nature so
far as we can Judge Of it by history. As
Robert, Earl of Essex" Mr.. A. Ii.
Stuart showed himself 10 be an actor OF
merit and vgor. Miss Jessalne Rod

ever trod the boards OF Wheeling
stage, and, though large, is disappOint-

BUCKHANNON, w. VA, May S.-A

ing the second attempt, which was sue
cesSful, to take the life of b. b. Ben

with the assistance of Sanford Mer-
chants family, at whose home he was
staying, put out the fire after it had
burned quite hole in the floor
Young Bennett then went to the CRATE

toward the window only TO receive the
contents of shotgun. He walked but
a few steps and fell dead. The other
occupants of the room recognized Solo
mon Efaw at the window holding the
gun in his hands. He was arrested.
The Coroner brought in a verdict to-
night ''that b. b. Bennett came TO his
death by gun shot wound in the hands
of Solomon Efaw." Nocause was given
for the terrible act.

LONDON, May s.-The formalities OF
the expulsion of Captain Verney and
Mr.. DeKobain from the House of Com
mons will be secret. Mr.. Gladstone,
Mr.. Goschen, Lord Harrington, and
Mr.. Mccarthy will speak in vindication
of the historic purity OF character Of
the House of Commons. The recent
crop of scandals involves in disgrace
seven members Of Parliament, not in
cluding several who escaped exposure,
whose cases were widely talked about.
No party can be made out of the revela-
tionS, each contributing its backguard
to the list.
A special curiosity attaches to the
question how Mr.. Gladstone will deal
with the phenomenal outburSt of vice
among members of the House of Com
mons. Conversing with friend on the
Verney case he expressed the opinion
that there was nothing exceptional in
the cases of the public men exposed
that the importance OF the cases lay in
it's sympathy with social and moral dis
ease, requiring vigorous, united chris
tian action to amend it.
Mr.. Parnell's refusal to refer to the
question OF the release of the Paris fund
to arbitration, has thrown the McCar-
thyites back upon another method to
relieve evicted tenants. County con-
yentions, meetings, throughout Ireland,
will raise funds until the date Of the
general elections, when it is hoped Par
nellsm will be finally wiped out.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May S.-AnCther
of Philadelphia's National banks closed
IT'S doors to-day by order of Comptroller
of the Currency. After doing business
for an hour and half this morning the
Spring Garden National bank, at
Twelfth and Spring Garden streets
closed its doors and posted the follow
ing notice: BY order of the Comptroller
of the Currency, "ThiS bank closed un-
Ill further notice. Signed w. 7.
Drew, National Bank Examiner" ="
The news of the closing of the bank
spread rapidly and large crowd soon
collected but admittanee was denied 10
all. In answer 10 a request sent into
President Kennedy asking for some in
formation as TO the reason FOR the
banks closing the following note was
sent out:
I'VE have this morning decided 10 place
the bank I'm the hands Of Mr.. Drew, the
National Bank Examiner. This step has
been forced on US principally by the large
withdrawal of deposits during the financial
stUngency which commenced last Septem-
Der, and the continued dullness of business
since To meet these demands on our re
serve, il was found impossible to real
lie rapidly on the assets. We have
been below in our reserve for
some weeks past and can see no
immediate prospect of increasing it. We
still owe a balance 10 the Clearing House
Committee for outstanding loan certificates,
payment of which is being pressed. These
facts, coupled with the Disturbances of the
past week, have caused increased uaeasl-
ness on the part of some of our depOstorS,
together with the weakening Of our credit
with the other banks We hope the sus-
pension will be only temporary.
Sigued francis W. KENNEDY,

TIMELY TRADE TOPICS.
The Situation More Encouraging in Many
Respects-Monetary Matters.

Respects-Monetary Matters.
New YORK, May 8.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
struggle to sustain Russian securities
against the disfavor of the Rothchilds,
the demand for gold by German bank
ers, and the threatened withdrawal Of
Russian gold from deposits in Englard,
FJance and Germany, account for much
of the unusual movement of specie,
which has been in progress.
May starts off with the great plunge
in speculative prices which his for
some weeks been anticipated. Wheat
fell II cents in rs many days, and for
the weeks shows decline of 555c.
Corn has also declined 31lc.
An element of great strength, is the
accumulating evidence that the wheat
prospect at the West is remarkably
good, the acreage having increased
heavily. The unusually cold weather,
while injuring fruit and vegetables at
many points, does not appear to have
seriously affected the larger crops,
which promise exceptionally well. With
such an agricultural outlook, the de-
mand for manufactured products Of all
kinds, is likely to improve and thus the
great industries will be helped.
Iron already feels the stiffening infu-
ence and some kinds and grades are a
shade higher than week ago, with a
larger buying of pig iron at unchanged
prices. The demand for structural
iron for the time is lessened by the eX-
tensvc strikes in building trades, but
for bar and plates there is more de-
mand.
Wool is scarce, aud the manufacture
not inclined to activity until the new
clip comes forward freely. Returns
from other points show rather quiet
trade. AT Philadelphia fine wool is two
cents lower. Collections are on the
whole somewhat improved, but there is
much complaint, and at Pttsbnrg a
| slight improvement is seen in BesSemer
and some kinds of manufactured iron.
At Cleveland trade is fairly good in
| hardware, shoes and groceries, but dull
/ in iron.
In short, while present trade is not
quite as active as usual, the outlook
would be highly encouraging but for
foreign and monetary uncertainties,
The business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days
number 242 as compared with 255 last
week. For the same week last year
! they were 209.
