Another Ultimate Made.
AN EYENINa OF OPERA.
Agnes Huntington as seen in the Roman
tic Role OF Paul Jones.

Agnes Huntington as seen in the Roman
tic Role OF Paul Jones.
Wheeling theatre-goerS delved down
deep In comic opera last night. 10 was
the opening Of Agnes Huntington : en-
gagement, aud the Opera House was
we'll filled with q select and fashionable
audience. Miss Huntington is an OPP
cratic star whose continued absence
from the Wheeling dramatic Ornament
has been annually deplored by local
lovers of comic opera. The opera pre-
sented last night was that OF paul
Jones, one which Miss Huntington
most delights 20 sing. The audience
was thoroughly appreciative, in fact
more so than they have before been
at opera this season, and the many solos,
duOs, triOs, concerted pieces and dance
numbers of the opera were received
with great favor, the numerous encoreS
being Of that hearty and spontaneous
nature which betokens genuine enjoy
ment.
With so dazzling q hero as Paul Jones
for the central figure something good In
the shape of an operate plot might be
expected, but the librettists have been
remarkably successful In constructing
an actual plot and investing some OF the
scenes with a high degree of dramatic
interest, while che action of the piece is
we'll sustained amid the advertisement
and the byplay which are such essential
features of comic opera. The finale OF
the second act was particularly strong
and effective. The music OF the opera
is ever light, vivaciOUS and tuueiul,
though rarely Of that rhythmic, catchy
nature that perpetuates the melody IN
the ears Of the listeners. The orcheS-
tration throughout is pleasing, though
occasionally rather vigorous and aSser-
tive.
Miss Huntington appeared to excel
lent advantage in the role which she
played over 800 nights at a London
theatre. Miss Huntington possesses
rich contraltO, particularly pleasing
and flexible in its lower register.
The resource and tlexi0ility were
better displayed in the long solo
I'm the second act, and its repetition
was 8 very graceful Acknowledgement
OF the burst Of applause It's rem
deripg occasioned. Miss Huntington's
range OF notes seemed rather limited at
times, and i'm this not q few OF the mus
ical or ties were disappointed IN the
much heralded talents OF the OlS1ln-
guished singer. Miss Huntington was
continually equit as much the actor as
the singer, and imbued her part very
effectively with the dash, spirit ana
independence OF the naval officer.
The star has the support OF an excel
lent company as regards solo roles and
an exceptionally strong and well-tralned
chorus, large in number, prompt IN
action and effective ia execution.
The comedy Of the piece. was well
brought out by Hallen Mostyn and Al
bert Jones, respectively the De Wolf
Hopper and Digby Bell Of the company
who as BouillabQiSSs and Petit Pierre
have plenty to do and do it well. The
costumes are rich. Tonight Captain
Therese," q new opera BY Pianquette,
will be presented.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
AN UNKNOWN COLORED MAN KILLED BY A
B. & 0. TRAIN.
He Alighted from Car and was Struck Upon
the Head, FracturiRg His Skull,
and Dying an Hour Later.

An unknown colored man was struck
by the b. & o. passenger train due here
at 1920 o'clock last night at the corner
OF Jacob and Seventeenth street, re-
ceiving injuries from which ne died
shortly afterward.
The unfortunate man jumped from
the train while it was going at high
speed, and probably missed his footing
and was struck by the side Of the car.
Two young ladies who were passing at
the time were the only persons who
witnessed the accident, A telephone
message was sent TO police headquar-
tiers and the patrol wagon responded in
a short time. The man was placed In
the wagon and taken to the City Build
ing. Health Officer DR.. Spragg, who
had received a telephone message,
looked at the body at the City Building
and ordered the man taken TO the City
Hospital.
At the Hospital the man was placed
in the operating room and telephone
message sent to DR.. Schwinn. The
physician arrived in a short time, and
an examination showed an ugly hole in
the scalp and a fracture of the skull,
probably caused by striking the truck
of one of the coaches. He was also
badly bruised about the face and bled
profusely from a number Of wounds.
He died about fifteen minutes past
eleven o'clock, without regaining con-
seriousness.
The unfortunate man was a stranger
in this city, and probably belonged in
Washington, Pa. The only thing found
upon his person which might establish
his identity was shipping tag OF A. Il.
Hadlich 81 Co., addressed to "AleX.
Penilton, Washington, Pa" a pocket
book was also found, containing $3.50
in change.

The Main stree, Bridge.

Within a very short time the temper
airy wooden bridge across the creek az
Main street must be removed; as 10 Is
too good a structure 70 throw away,
there has been two or three suggestions
made as 20 its availability for the cross
ing of the stream at some point i'm East
Wheeling. About the only apparent
locality for the bridge is at the end OF
Wood street, where 1t might be thrown
across 10 the south bank Of the creek.
The city, in granting the franchise TO
the Terminal Company, reserved no
bridge rights. except at Chapline street,
where the city can erect an overhead
bridge. Al this point the wooden
bridge would be useless.

THE HACKMEN's DIFFICULTY.
Four of the Men Still Out, One Returning
to Work


The FIVE hack drivers formerly en-
ployed by Mr.. Handlan, who went out
on a strike Sunday night, are all still
out with one exception, Frank Krebs,
who returned to work Yesterday, Krebs
claiming that he was offered the adj
vance of 81 a week to reinstate himself
in the employ and he decided to accept.
Handlan hired three or four new men
Yesterday, ana last night the hacks
were out as usual. The action OF Krebs
in going back to the employ and alb
senting himself from the meeting Of
the strikers yesterday seem to meet
with considerable disfavor by the re-
naming four strikers, they claiming
that Krebs had sworn to stand by the
strikers.
Tue strikers tried TO hold meeting
Yesterday afternoon to effect an organ
i7ation, but the absence of Krebs rather
disgruntled those present, and they
postponed proceedings until another
day. The strikers still firmly declare
that they will form union, and the
twelve night hack drivers will all have
to ioin. They claim they have got to
do it to maintain their rights.
