There was no show at the Grand last
night. The Little Lord NIacLoroy"
company was to close here tonight for
the season. Yesterday the manager,
Mr.. Belmont, and his wife left the city,
and last night as Mr.. Gibson, the star,
was not well anyhow, tho house was
closed. MIR. Gray, OF the company, who
claims Sl25 coming to him on his salary,
attached the baggage. The suit has not
been settled. Manager Belmont and
his advance agent had a row the night
before about 4 deficit in tho money due
the agent, and he and his wife had 4 row
about his being, too fond OF colored
chambermaid. One Of the company was
drunk tho evening before, and that
made arrow too, so that tho company
seems to have been pretty steadily in a
row all the time it was in Wheeling. A
telegram was sent to Philadelphia ask
ing that Belmont be arrested.

a BIG LOSS nY FIRE
In Martins Forry.-Thc Electric Light
Plant burned Down.

BY tho burning Of tho electric light
plant last night in Martins Ferry
the city will suffer moro inconvonionccs
and annoyances than might have been
caused by the destruction OF larger
and moro valuable business Of some
other kind. Tho plant furnished cleo
trio light to the city, oil lamps having
been used before; In addition to tho
serious Inconvenience OF absence OF
light, tho street car electric line will
have to discontinue operations, as 1t
too depended on tho electrical plant for
power. The building and Its contents
are total loss.
The first man who saw tho fro was
an engineer OH the Terminal railroad,
who communicated tho alarm TO tho
town by long blasts on his whistle. A
few minutes afterwards an alarm was
sent In from box 50, to which tho do
partmcnt responded Immediately; the
fire had already gained such Roadway,
however, that tho fire companies could
BIO OF no assistance, and In compara-
lively short time tho whole structure
was consumed. Big crowds gathered
and viewed with sorrow tho destruction
OF their lighting machinery and street
chr facilities.
1t is not known how tho fire origi.
mated, and reports arc conflicting MS to
what part OF tho building 1t first started
in. Superintendent Hays had just tclc-
phoned for hack in order to 70 to his
home, which is quito distance from
the plant. Hc had walked away from
tho telephone, when he saw tho blaze In
the north end Of tho building AS it.
was small he tried to put it out, but was
unsuccessful. A man who passed tho
place at tho same timc and who turned
in the alarm, said tho south end, and
not the north end. was the one in which
the fire first started.
The electric light plant was owned by
tho Martins Ferry Construction Com
pany, OF which Judge John s. Cochran,
OF Martins Forty, is president, and
John NJ. Sweeney, OF Wheeling, sccrc-
tary and general manager. Tho build
ing was only ono story frame, but
somo valuable machinery was in it, CON
sisting OF three very fine engines, two
first class arc light dynamos and one in
candoscent light dynamo; two boilers
furnished steam to run tho machinery.
1t had been recently fitted up in first
class shape. Superintendent Hays told
on lNTELLrGEHcEH reporter that the total
loss would amount to $4,000 or SEC, 000
1t could not be ascertaincd last night
how much insurance was OH the build
ing and machinery, but it is known that
until quite recently the company had
placed only $1,000 insurance on tho en-
tire plant. Moro policies, it is under
stood, wore placed o couple OF weeks
ago.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S-The feature of the
days meeting Of the national commission
/ OF the the Columbian exposition was g fiery
address by Elk Governor Walker, of Con-
nscticut demanding that the military pa
rade on Friday be held in the heart of the
city where people generally could see it.
A resolution to that OBJECT was presented,
but receiving opposition and being an i'm
putation upon General Miles in charge OF
the parade, the matter was laid on the
table.
Mr.. Allen Of the committee on ceremo-
MES said the desire Of the commission
would be considered and that the military
parade through the streets would be pre-
pared if it was possible.
The board of lady managers also held q
meeting today. After some preliminsries
Mrs Potter Palmer read report declar-
ing that the work OF the board was pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Mrs. Palmer said
the board encounte tered great difficulty In
enlisting the CO. operation of women in for
eign countries, especially in the far east.
where the only result of efforts made was
an intimation that women were not allowed
to needle with such affairs, and, even If
allowed, had not sufficient knowledge to
undertake the work with intelligence.
She announced that the board had invited
propositions for the publication of news
paper to be sold on the fair grounds to be
edited and printed by women and devoted
to their interests.
Resolutions of coincidence with Presi-
dent Harrison were passed, and after hear
ing q number of interesting and satisfac-
tory reports the board adjourned.

Over the Attempt of Bishop Hoge to Dis
FRANCHISE Them.

iranchise Them.
PARIS, Ida, Oct. 1S.-[Special telegram
to THE HERALD. The Mormon people Of
this county are now registering under the
recent decision of judge Stockslager that
the test oath is unconstitutional. There is
new form of oath out and the Mormons
are taking it, and the majority will vote.
Walter Hoge, editor of Republican
paper here and bishop's councillor and
prominent member of the church in this
stake, telegraphed Chairman Wilson, of
Boise, that the Mormons were registering
under the decision.
Wilson is chairman of the Republican
party of this state, and he wired Hoge to
advise the Mormons not to register at
present. The facts in the case are that the
Republicans do not want the Mormons to
vote and is in keeping with their principles
TO keep the Mormon people in bondage.
The majority OF the Mormon people are in
dignant over the course Bishop Hoge is
taking in this matter Knowing that he is
under the ban Of disfranchisement himself
and for him TO work for the disfranchise-
ment of the whole community, they feel
that 1t is an outrage for him TO take such
steps,

The Press Report.

BOISE, Idaho Oct l6.-1he supreme
court has unanimously sustained the con-
stitutionaity Of the Idaho test oath LAW.
The decision in which the conclusion is
reached was handed down by Justice Hud-
son ST 2:30 p m, in the case of Joseph Z.

and others. The plaintiff is Mormon who
offered to the registrar upon subscribing to
the oath embracing the constitutional pro-
vision and ignoring the additional quaiifi-
cations Of the test oath law enacted by the
first State Legislature. The additional
qualification 10 that an elector shall not
eince January 1885 have belonged to any
organization that teaches or taught, en-
courages or encouraged polygamy, the con-
stitutiOnal provision being simply that be
shall not practice polygamy or belong to
an organization that teaches or encourages
il. An application was made to the su-
preme court for writ OF mandamus 10
compel the registrar TO register Sheppard.
The constitution provides that the legis-
lature may provide additional qualifcs-
tons for the exercise OF the right OF suf-
frage and under this provision the legisla-
ture adopted the additional qualification
referred TO. The principal objection urged
10 this was an allegation that it was
retrospective, ex post facto and therefore

vision does not come under the character

fects private rights. is retrospective

has entire authority to prescribe such
qualifications as are deemed best. Numer-
cns cases are cited aud the history Of the

viewed.
