the Opera House next Monday evening.
The Pittsburgh Leader says of it:
Handsome chorus girls, pretty dresses,
plenty OF catchy music, and withal a
fairly good company, made the per-
formance of "Ship Alloy" at tho Alvin
theatre OF the most enjoyable seen
there for some time. Tho audience was
q fairly large one, and tho applause was
most frequent. Miss Louise Montague,
tho prima donna, fills most ac~ccptably
the part OF the great singer Of the ship.

nee became q favorite with the audi.
encc. She is not only a clever singer,
but quite q good actress. Miss Annie
Barrett also came in for a share OF the
honors, as did also Miss Florence Dun.
bar. J. Z. Sullivan, rs Colonel Mupkson
Mulberry, was very funny, and Harry B.
Bell made a distinguishing Commodore.
Others OF the company were from fair
to good. The opera is in three acts,
the first being the Isler of Palms, the
second on the quarterback OF the United
States steamer Cuckoo, and the third
in the reception room OF the Hotel
Hygeia, with a pretty picture of the
Chesapeake bay and Fortress Monroe in
tho distance. During this act one Of
the pretty things of the opera is tho ap-
proach OF the white squadron.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF tho
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
intlamed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the ,result, and
unless the inflammation can BIO taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; ninc cases out OF ten arc caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but IN in

HOUSER'S CONFESSED CRIME.
A Prominent Wheeling POstoflce Employe
Arrested for Stealing.

Arrested for Stealing.
WHEELING, WEST VA, Dec. 49,
Especial There was O decided sensation
stirred up here to-day, by the reports that
a postofice employe was short in his ac-
counts, or rather that he had been defraud-
ing the Government, and tonight the mat
ter came to climax in the arrest of Harry
Houser, Chief of the Carriers, on United
States Court warrant, charging him with
stealing stamps and mail matter. He was
also arrested on State warrants issued on
information charging grand larceny.
Houser is Secretary of the B. P. O. of
q candidate for mayor IN the Republican
primaries held here yesterday. He was
well sustained too, although defeated. He
sometimes served the most important busi-
ness route of the city as mail carrier, and 20
accommodate tine merchants used to sell
them stamps. After his arrest tonight he
admitted to THE DISPATCH correspondent
that he had purloined stamps worth 81, ,068,
but he denies strenuously that he stole mail
matter. The Government officers on the
case, however, insist that the proof against
him is so strong that there is no question
about his guilt. They allege. also, that he
took advantage of his position to steal
cigars, shoes, pens. handkerchief; and in
fact any and all kinds of pIunder that he
could corner.
His house has just been searched and it
resembled a notion store with q holiday
stock on hand. Houser did not deny his
guilt, but says he can't tell why he did it.
He has been released under bonds !or a
b caring.

CLEVELAND FREE TO ACT.

He Can Direct the Action Of Monetary Dele
gates-Allison Says the Incoming Ad-
ministration Should Have Time to Con.
slider the Questions Before the Confer
ence.
BRUSSELS, Dec 18-After N. Di Renzi's
motion had been proposed at the Monetary
Conference yesterday Senator Allison made
q short speech in behalf Of the United
States delegation. He laid emphasis upon
the fact that throughout the debate nobody
had suggested that either of the money
metals be discarded. During the adjourn
ment, he said, the delegates would have
time to study the Rothschild and other pro-
posals that had been submitted. Continu-
ing, he said: although the conference has
been of brief duration, the discussions that
have taken place have been OF great value,
and we think it wise to resume the dslib-
erations after recess Any agreement at
which the conference might arrive would
probably require large concessions on our
part 1t is, therefore, natural that the
Democratic administration which is about
to come into Office in the United States,
and upon which the responsibility for such
action would fall, should have an oppor-
tunity to direct the course of the United
States delegates. 1t would consequently
be advantageous to the United States, if
the conference should adjourn long enough
to enable the new Government to consider
what shall be done"
Mr.. Bertram Currie, of the British dele
CATION, objected to the reassembling of the
conference, on the ground that as three
previous monetary conferences had failed,
there was little prospect Of the present one
being success. Sir G. Rivers Wilson, of
the British delegation, concurred in the.
opinion of Mr.. Currie. He said Great
Britain would reserve complete liberty of
action. Sir William Houldsworth, also of
the British delegation, said that he did not
agree with Sir c. Rivers Wilson in the
opinion that only one definite plan should
be discussed. On the contrary. he thought
that the conference ought to discuss all
plans that had already been submitted.
General Richard Strachey, of the Indian
delegation, formally announced that during
the recess of the conference the Indian
Government would reserve to itself absolute
freedom of action.
Senator Allison said that it was under
stood that the governments of all the na-
tions concerned, including the United
States, should reserve to themselves abso-
lutte independence in their respective mon
etary policies during the recess of the con-
ference; that robody was bound to any
thing, and that they all might employ the
time in the interval as they thonght proper
NJ. Di Renzi's proposal was then adopted
and the conference adjourned

A FRIGHTFUL WRECK.
Eight Men Killed and Five Injured on the
Great. Northern.

ALEXANDRIA, MINI, Dec 18-A
frightful accident occurred on the Great
Northern Railroad this morning at Nelson
station, five miles east Of here, in which
eight men we're killed and five were seri-
ously injured.
There had been collision Friday morn
ing at Nelson, and number of cars were
wrecked. The wreck train had been
there two days clearing up, an was making
up, preparatory to pulling out for the East.
About 1 o'clock this morning the wreck
train caboose was left standing on the main
track with q number of cars An east
bound freight was due about o'clock, and
had orders to sidetrack tor the passenger
train due at 1910.
There is 0 heavy grade west OF the sta
tion, and as the freight train with Sc loads
approached the switch, the engine was shut
of and brakes called for, but the speed was
too great to stop. The engine struck the
wreck train, threw the caboose on top of
the next car, setting both on fire. There
were IA men in the caboose. One jumped
off, fvewere hurt, three were burne be-
yond recognition and four we're killed One
was totally burned up, without sign of
his remains being found.

MORE SCANDAL COMING.
De Lesseps and His Colleagues Refused
Release on Bail.

| Release on Bail.
PARIS, Dec. 16.-The report was circu-
lated last evening that Senator Jules Gui-
chard would be made President of the Suez
Canal Company IN the place of Charles de
Lesseps, now in Mazas prison awaiting trial
for completely in the, Panama Canal frauds
Application was made to Magistrate
Franqueville to-day to release De Lesseps,
Sans Leroy and Fontane on bail. Respon-
sible bondsmen were ready to sign the
papers, but the magistrate refused even to
discuss the possibility of such release
II added that nobody would be allowed to
8 ee the prisoners until after the examina-
tion of the documents seized in their offices.
The Jour understands that tomorrow
the Chamber will be asked to authorize the
prosecution of several deputies. Among
II persons to whom such an authorization
would apply, the JoaT SAYS are three Sena-
tors and three deputies who belonged to the
guarantee syndicate.
The examining magistrate is about to
summon Jules Delahaye to substantiate the
charge made by him before the Chamber
and the Parliamentary, ,Committee of In
quiry. This examination is likely to cause
disastrous results in the Chamber, as M.
Delahaye still maintains the truth of his
accusation that $50 Deputies and Senators
were bought with 1900, 900 francs, when
the lottery bonds bill was under considera-
tion. The decisive vote in the committee
on the lottery bonds bill, he says, was
bought for 100000 francs He also pro-
fesses to have mine of exact information
as to the purchase of editors, one of them a
foreigner, whose price was 100000 fr ancs.
The weakness of the case so far has been
that he has refused to give the names of the
bribe-takers, and when pressed for them
has taken refuge in the device of referring
his questioners to the Cabinet Ministers,
who, he said, had the complete list.
NJ. Andrieux. formerly Prefect of Police,
has challenged Deputy Arene to duel,
which will be fought tomorrow. The cause
is bitter article against the ex-Prefect
which NJ. Arene wrote for the Li6re Parole.
1t transpires that, despite the fact that he
was confined to his bed, de Lesseps was
summoned to appear before the examining
magistrate. He asked that the cross of the
Legion of Honor be placed on his breast,
and when this had been done he rose to
have the attendants dress him. Almost
Immediately he sank back on the bed and
became delirious. Since then he has
thought that the serving of the summons
was only dream. He is very feeble, both |
mentally and physically.
There is a strong sentiment among cer-
tain fnanciers, headed by Albert Christie !
phIe, Governor OF the Credit Foncier, that A
the Government should make another at 4

said that more than 500, 900 shareholders are
