ADJUSTMENTS.


The comedy, "Nio5e," given at the
Opera House last night is undoubtedly
the neatest and most finished play that
has been presented TO Wheeling aud
fence this season. From start to finish
there is no cessation OF the interest and
action, while the company is an
excellent one. In brief, the story Of
the play is the return TO life Of the pet
rifed Queen Niobe, supposed to be a
marble statue, in the house Of Peter
Amos Dunn, au insurance agent,
through accidental contact with cleo
trio light wires, which were being run
through the house. The scenes that
follow the transfer Of the beautiful
Grecian queen of mythology to
the life Of the present day can he better
imagined than described The audience
is kept i'm roar OF laughter from the
rise to the fall of the curtain. The i'm
personator of Niobe, Miss Marguerite
Fealy, is not only a consistent and con-
Summate actress but a beautiful wo-
man, and her almost faultl1ss figure
and grace win the hearts of the
audience at once, as they do that
of Peter Amos Dunn, whose troubles
in consequence thereof are not ended
except with the play. The latter char
acter Mr.. }. K. Smith sustained ad-
mirably, as was the remainder Of the
cast. 1t is play that lovers of origi-
nal comedy should not miss. To give
the ladies and children 4 chance to see
the play q special matinee will be given
this afternoon at . O'Clock, when the
prices will be % and so cents. The
management in conjUuction,with Mana
ager Reister will present any lady,
gentleman or child who succeeds in
making the most number OF words ont
of the title "Niobe," with s. in gold.
This is chance to win 50 easily, and
get your moneys worth if you loose.

the eountry's fear OF the Demo
cratic party" This is funny
enough as il stands in view Of the fact
that the people by an overwhelming
majority put the Democrats in power
last year to repeal and correct vicious
Republican legislation, which has been
done, so far as the limlt OF the extra
session would permit, with satisfaction
to the whole country-even Of radical
Republicans. But taken in conjunction
with our neighbours enumeration, in the
same article, of the actual local causes
Of the result, it becomes ludicrous.
These causes it names as follows:
The Anarchist fight on Judge Gary, of
Chicago, the rebellion Of the COuey Island
gamblers. the defiance OF the ringsters IN
New York State, the lawlessncss Of the
race track vulgarians in New Jersey.
The IBtcliigeHcer might add to this
list many other purely local causes in
the other States of the result Of Tues
days elections. but these are sufficient
to show that the Tntelligmcer knows the
truth, even goes so far as to state it
quite plainly, and in the next breath
fatty denies and attempts to controYert
its own statement of the truth.
This is an exhibition of audacity, or,
rather, asininity, which can be account
ed for only on the ground that the m
tclIiqcuccr has been crazed by the news
that Ohio had gone Republican.

From the Florida People that the Fight

New YORK, November 9.-Messrs. w.
A. Brady and Billy Thompson, repre-
senting Corbett and Mitchell respect
lively, met at the Police Gazette office
this afternoon TO discuss the Jackson
Vile, Florida, Athletic Clubs offer OF
$40, 900 for the Corbett-Mitchell fight.
Nothing came of the meeting. j. K.
House, representing Richard X. Fox,
produced certified check for $40, 600
from the Jacksonville people. The
check was so drawn up as to
be payable after the fight.
There was no provision made
for the 50, 500 guarantee for training
expenses demanded by both men. The
Jacksonville people telegraphed that
$40, 900 was their limit for the tight,
and that they would give So, 800 to each
principal for training expenses after the
contest. This was not satisfactory to
either Brady or Thompson, who natu-
rally want a guarantee beforehand that
the fight will take place. Until this
guarantee is provided nothing further
will be done. A telegram was sent to-
night 10 Jacksonville to ascertain II
such guarantee will be forthcoming.
Until reply is had the matter will be
in allegiance.

LONDON, Novem Der 9.-The Pal Mall

to Tammany, is responsible for the re-
cent Republican victory.
The EUening Standard thinks that
failure of the Democrats to break down
1.-The prohibitive tariff" has much to do
with the results.
The St. james Gazette AYERS that any
BODY can understand the feeling Of the
Democracy. Continuing, the same pa
per says that 1.-The English are trying
to persuade themselves that it is all
right and that the great American peo-
pie is going to rouse itself finally ia
favor Of civil service reform. 1t is al
ways going to do that, and never seems
to get any further forward. The Re-
publican victories are probably due to
the desire of the Mugwumps to warn
President Cleveland that he had better
be careful and take to reform In earnest.
1t seems clear that the result against
high tariff has not gone far. We tried
to relieve that McKinleyism and that
the protection absurdities had their
death blow, but here he is elected by
tremendous majority and likely to be
Presidential nominee"
