GOLDEN WEDDING
OF Mr.. AND MRS B. < LIST CELEBRATED
LAST EVENING.
A Brilliant Reception and Observation-Disclosures
Social Events Given and to Be Given
This Week.

The social history Of Wheeling Is rife
with reminiscent biography interesting
20 all old residents Of the Ohio Valley.
The old families OF West Virginia have
become identified with the progressive
element and business enterprises OF this
section. In fact, the present financial
solidity of our chief industries is at
tributable to these people. Among the
more prominent residents Of this class
should be named Henry K. List, presi-
dent of the City Bank Of Wheeling, who
last evening celebrated his golden we'd
ding at his residence, No. S27 Main
street.
This event was one Of the most recher-
chcafair OF the season and the cOmmod-
ious residence was crowded with the
elite Of the city 10 pay homage TO such
an important event in the private lie
Of an honOred and respected citizen.
The reception rooms were banked with
palms and tGsteiully decorated with
smilax and the air was redolent with
the choicest perfumes of the conserva-
tory. The usual second marriage was
omitted, but this transgression from es-
tablished usage wac made up by the
serving Of sumptuous banquet and the
general entertainment Of all present.
The costumes OF the ladies present
were OF the very latest Partisan make
and were OF exceptional elegance.
The presents were something marvel
ous. and evidence the appreciation OF
Mr.. Lists popularity among the solid
business men OF this community.
Special attention should be called to
some of the particularly charming pieces
Of rare china that were seen on the pre-
sentatiou table. A pair OF handpainted
Haviland vases are especially
worthy Of notice because OF
the art circles OF Wheeling. The re-
membranes included everything in the
golden line, bit the supreme moment
arrived when the honored aud aged
bride and groom passed in review be-
fore their numerous friends. The
elaborate gathering was abundant
proof of the popularity Of hr. List and
his estimable lady among the exclusive
circles of Wheeling.
Altogether il was the one event OF
the season.
The Cotillion Club will dance at
Franzheim's Hall, Friday evening. A
lumber OF invitations nave been issued,
and the affair promises to prove COM
Dlete success. The Opera House or
Chestra will make the music for dane

SPIDER AND Ely.

The "Spider and Fly" which appears
At the Opera House next Wednesday
night, will not only be the largest, but
the most complete organization Of the
present season. NJ. Is. Leayitt the pro-
prietor, is classed as one OF the wealth
lest aud most successful theatrical
managers in America, and his success
is due entirely TO the close study he
gives to theatrical matters. Five years
ago he organized the "Spider and Fly"
company. The production was then as
IL is now, distinct novelty, containing
all OF the brightest aud best features or
spectacle.
o'NEL N 'IRIsH INSPIRATION.
Barry O'Neil in his comedy drama,
'Irish Inspiration" will be at the
Grand Opera House next Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. The young star,
Barry O'Neil, has for many years been
prominent among Irish character actors.
He sings and dances as they did at Don
nytrook; he writes his own songs, as
w. j. Seaman, and he plays the Irish
boy true TO nature. The scenery is
magnificent, all new, and painted By
Frank Dodge, Of Harrigan's.
GEORGIA MINSTRELS.
The appearance OF the Georgia Min
strels at the Grand Opera House last
night recalls 70 mind the successful
days OF popular Jack" Haverly, be-
cause in his time be brought US the
great, the only, and the original Billy
Kersands. So 10 was last evening. Mr..
Richards presented as his stellar at
attraction the irresistible kersands,
with the budget Of refined fun and his
river-channel mouth, which is all wool
aud a yard wide. Kersands made the
hit of his life last night, 80 far as Wheel
ing is concerned. He left the house in
an uproar from curtain to finish, and
upheld his reputation Gs the greatest
comedian in his line in the world. Too
much cannot be said in praise Of the
other member Of this cOncededfy neplus
ultre organization. The work OF Jas.
Moore, Robert Vernon, Jas. White, Il.
HehuaD and Billy Reynolds, on the
ends was Of an order not frequently
seen In the minstrel business.

THE GRANGE CAMP MEET.-It is
hardly probable that the race meeting
Of the Grange Camp Association at
Jackson City will be inaugurated on
Thursday, the day originally set for
the opening. The management, how
ever. are making every effort to be in
readiness or that date, aud it is intend
ed 10 open the agricultural exhibition
then Al all events. over q hundred
horses are already stabbed at the track,
which is in sufficiently advanced
state TO admit of slow work. All OF
the $50 stalls have been engaged, and
late applications for stable room have
been necessarily rejected. The track
itself is practically completed, and it is
expected that the track fence will be
finished by tomorrow. The grand
stand is about ready for painting. The
present outlook is that the meeting will
not begin before Saturday, and there
will be the finishing touches to add af'
ter that.

BURSTING OF A SEwER.-The rain OF
Saturday and last night sent such a
heavy volume of water through the
new twenty-inch sewer on Pendleton
street, between Fairfax and Royal, as
to burst that conduit and wash away
much of the embankment on the
square. The sewer had been but re-
Gently put in, and the ground being
new, when the water once forced its
way through, the embankment was not
long crumbling away. The chain gang
was quickly put to work and every

damage, which, of course, will be but
temporarily accomplished until the
sewer (Which is 20-inch pipe) can be
