A Number OF Prominent Railroad oniciais
In Town Yesterday.

IN Town Le6terOhys
The party OF prominent officials Of
the Cleveland, Larain and Wheeling
Railroad mentioned in yesterdays REG
IsrER as having arrived in three private
cars over the Terminal, went over their
route of inspection yesterday. In the
party were President M. d. Woodford.
Vice President John B. Dennis, Henry
A. Taylor, Henry f. Shoemaker and j.
II. Taylor, of New York; Eugene Zim-
norman, of Cincinnati; w. Z. Wood
ford, General Manager; j. E. Terry,
General Freight and Passenger Agent;
w. B. Hanlon, Chief Engineer, and P.
Bruner, General Superintendent, OF
Uhrichsville, Ohio.
When asked about the purchase OF
the c., L. Sc W., General Manager
Woodford said:
"Any statement that the c., L.
& w. road has been purchased by
the c., II. & D., or in the interest OF
the c., II. & D., is without the least
foundation. The controlling interest
in the c., l.. Sc w. has recently been
purchased by syndicate OF gentlemen,
most OF whom are New York men, but
only one or two OF whom are interested
in the c., Fl. 81 D.
"The c., L. & w. will be run ror itself
entirely, independent OF any other road
or inter. The c., II. 81 d. and c., L. &
w. roads are not even connecting
lines"
Several members OF the party had
never been over the line, and they ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the general condition OF the road.
The officials expressed themselves as
warmly in sympathy with the Wheeling
and Connelsvile movement, as they
were OF the opinion that it would great
ly benefit their road.
Most OF the party returned to New
York last night, after having inspected
the mines and other property In the vi
cinity of Beilaire. General Manager
Woodford remained over at the Mcclure
and will leave to-day.

Lot OF With $40 ana Costs.

In Police Court, yesterday morning,
Walter Young, for firing four shots at
Charles Hill, got $40 and costs, and Hill
was given the same penalty for throw
ing stones. This was cheap. One wit
ness swore Hill had billy, and all the
rest said he didn't. Some OF the wit
nesses said Hill threw stones before
Young fired, and others that Young
fired first. J. w. Miller, charged with
striking his wife, was fined $40 and
costs. Mrs. Miller said her husband
did not strike her, and denied she had
ever told the officer so. Another wit
ness testified she heard Mrs. Miller
screaming and crying.

Monday evening Miss Emma Often, q
young lady living on Seventeenth street,
was quietly surprised by number OF
her friends who called on her In body.
The affair was arranged by the young
lady's sister ia honor of her eighteenth
birthday, and it was one OF the most
sociable events OF the season in the
East End. Games aed music made the
hours pass quickly. At midnight a
tempting lunch was served.
Last evening at half-past seven
o'clock. Mr.. L. B. Gary, a popular
young iron worker of the Crescent mill,
was quietly married to Miss Mary Meek,
at the home OF the brides mother, Mrs.
Virginia Meek, Of North Main STREET.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
j. w. Hess, pastor OF Thomson M. o..
Church, and was witnessed By only the
near relatives Of the contracting par
ties. Mr.. and Mrs. Gary are well known
in Wheeling, and have the best wishes
of their many friends for long and
happy welded life. They were the re-

ORIGIN OF THE BALLET.
Known to Have FIourished in Italy
Four Hundred Years Ago.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.


Strictly defined, the ballet is properly a
theatrical exhibition Of the art Of dancing in
its highest perfection, complying generally
with the rules of the drama as to its com
position and form. 1t was in existence In
Italy as far back as A. d. 15O0, according to
Music and the Drama. the count of Turin
in that day making especial use of II and
The royal family ana mobiles taking part in
It, The ballet was first introduced In
France In the reign of Louis XIII. and
both that monarch and Louis XIV occa-
sionally took part in It's dances
In its earliest presentation the ballet an
peared dexterOusly in combination with the
other theatrical acts, and is said to have
completed the chaotic medley exhibited in
these spectacles, which were at once mytho-
logical, alegorica, fantastic. warlike and
pastoral" The reader will not be slow To
observe that its development in the presen /
day has not apparently lost sight of these
conditions. About the year 100 women
made their first appearance in the ballet.
which up 10 that time had been performed
exclusively by men, as was the case also
with plays ana operas, but no woman ballet
dancer OF any note appeared until 1890. or
about a century ago. As early as 1850.
however, the ballet had been separated
from the opera and given an independent
dramatic form. Later on in the century
the ballet assumed the form of a great rhyth-
mical pantOmime, and for many decades
was kept up in the theater of Milan In most
exalted style.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL.
An English View of the Game as ItsIs
PLAYED Here.
Saturday RevIel

oalHIuay heNleh
1t Is admitted on all sides that, played
under the most favorable circumstances,
and by men who would consider a loss Of
temper almost equivalent to loss of honor,
football under Rugby Union rules is a rea-
soDaby dangerous game. Played as 1t is
in America IL seems admirably adapted for
paying off old grudges, and proving conclu-
sively that good humored pluck and skill
are no match for savage brutality and irrel-
evant violence. To an asprant for honors
in the American football field we would say !:
My son, learn boxing. Learn football also,
il possible, Tut first learn the art OF self
defense"
Moreover, the pernicious practices are not
exercised secretly Except with regard TO
the umpire), but are tacitly recognized as
a part and parcel Of the game. True, il a
man Is caught fighting lie may be ruled out
Of the match. 1t is made logical outcome
of this law that six or eight reserve men
are always ready equipped to take the
places of any detected bruisers.
The thinking man can and does easily
improve the occasion. If he feels ex-
hausted as the short winter afternoon is
drawing in. he can watch until he catches
the umpire's eye, slug" a dimnutve op-
seven times more wicked than himself.
Or being but player of mediocre ability,
he can yet provoke to a merry bout of fisti-
cuffs one whose ability In the game is
greater. and may thus bring about the retire.
ment Of both, sacrificing his own pawn self
for the opponent knight. The American
asserts that his game is the more scientific,
which, from certain point of view, Is self
evident.

Friendship Between Horse and Dog.


A plumber at Nariagansett had a horse 27
years old, which was used for carrying
around his masters material when that was
necessary, but spent most of its time in
small pasture. A fox-hunter. also belong
ing TO the plumber, was an inseparable
companion to the old horse. When the old
horse was harnes5ed to the cart the dog was
on guard to see that nothing was stolen
from the cart. In the pasture the dog was
always shifting around the horse and was
never so delighted as when the horse would
begin to roll in the grass, which it often
did. apparently 10 please the dog, which
would jump and run about in every d.
rection and bark for pure joy. At
night when the horse was put in the barn
the dog always entered with its friend and
slept on the animals body. One day the
neighbors heard the most dismal bowls
coming from the pasture. and found that
the old horse had died. There was the ter
rier on its dead body. bowling out its sor-
row and misery. The dog remained with
the body until 1t was removed for burial.
