Entertainment at Convent Hall Last
Evening

Evening.
The Young Ladies' Sodality OF the
Cathedral gave very pleasing enter
tainment TO their friends, last even
ing. in the production Of the melo-
drama. "Rebecca's Triumph" The
play is composed of three acts and IS
thrown into three consecutive days OF
summer. No little home talent was
displayed, to the surprise and pleasure
of the audience, which, by the way, was
very large. The Convent hall was
densely packed. The characters were
well selected. Misses Agnes Merge
and Eta Weitzell took off the two
widows to perfection. Miss Lizzie
Kuglen nicely personified the founding
child "Rebecca." The spinster was
represented in good colors by Miss
Kate Bosley. Miss Agnes Joice under
stood the characteristics of the Irish
girl. The colored girl was quite an at
traction. and her non de plume was
no less SO. and for some time to come
will be the Daily" talk. The Misses
Margaret O'Kane, Emma Zeigler, Ma
ME Owens, Mamie Welty, Bertha
Schuler. Anna Wingerter, Marie
O'Hare and Mary Donahue did their
part in an excellent manner. Miss
Della McFadden took TO the part OF the
vagrant in a laEdable way.
The literary and musical numbers
gave great satisfaction.
The play will be repeated tonight.

TIE STRIKE OF TIE Miners.
No Serious Trouble Has Resulted in
Belmont County,
Where a Good Many Men are Still
At WOrk-Detailed Reports From
all the Mines Along the River
FrOnt-The Movement Among tho
Steel Workers for an Advance.

As far as could be learned yester-
day, no very serious results have so far
followed the order for the Ohio miners
TO strike, so far as The river front of
Belmont county is concerned, if an ex-
ception be made of the Schick mine at
Bellaire. Mr.. Schick said yesterday
evening his men had quit work without
notice to him. and the result was he
had lost his contract to supply coal to
the railroad company. With this con-
tract lost to him, Mr.. Schick said he
could not give his men work now, even
if settlement was reached. He en-
ployed about fifty men.
At HeathGington mines. where
about seventy men are employed, the
men worked yesterday, but will prob
ably so out to-day.
Davis & Archer reported their men
We're still at work, and that they would
continue The same is true at the
Pelky and KinSey mines. The two last
named are small mines, and employ
but four men.
At Bridgeport the Boston mine on
the Cadiz pike. and Koehnline's mines
are running as usual. and will probably
continue. These are what are known
as "peddling' banks.
At the Wheeling Creek mines. where
several hundred men are employed. the
situation appears to be a little mixed.
The men there have not been working
much of late, and are probably not in
the best shape in the world to engage
i'm a strike
So far, there has been no trouble in
the Martins Ferry mines At the Gay
lord works the men are out a meet
ing was held yesterday afternoon at
which the situation was explained to
the men by Smith Cunningham. who
is just from the Columbus convention.
At the Aetna-Standard the miners
are working as usual and it is hardly
probable that they will stop. They
are working under an agreement which
does not expire until July 1st
At Maynard the mines are all idle.

A Good CATCH.

The followers in the footsteps of
Isaac Walton are very busy just now
trying to lure the finny tribe from
their haunts. There are many lovers
of this sport in Wheeling, and almost
every day several fishing parties can
be seen leaving for points down the
river. Yesterday John Heinlein and
VIM. Harrison, two well-known bar
tenders. went down to Fish Creek,
near Woodland, to spend the day fish
ing. They returned home last night
tired but-happy. They made a nice
catch. having caught about forty good
sized fish.

OTHER LABOR TROUBLES.

The trouble over wages at the Wheel
ing steel plant, at Benwood, eliminated
yesterday in @ strike on the part of thd
dissatisfied employees in the sllclp de-
partment. and that part of the mill is
idle. This may result in throwing out
the pudding department, and be a bad
business all around. Last night it was
reported there were decided symptoms
of uneasiness among some OF the Riy-
erside employees. and that the skelp
men at that plant were preparing to
follow the lead of the Wheeling plant

CRUSHED Mr.. DELAHAY'S SKULL.
Grocer Hagan Is Under Arrest in Connec-
tion With the Fatal Accident.


Frank Delahay, an aged man, who lived
at No. 1929 North Capitol street is dead,
as the result of being run over Saturday,
near Third street and Massachusett ave
nue. northwest His death occurred yester-
day afternoon.
Rome L. Hagan, the grocer, at New Jersey
avenue and street northwest, is under
arrest at No. police station on suspicion
of being the person who caused the death.
Opposite his name on the blotter appears the
word assault He was arrested by
Policeman Herbert as soon as the latter
learned that Mr. Delahay was dead.
Coroner Hammett, when seen last night,
said there was considerable mystery about
the affair which wilb no doubt be cleared
up at 1 O'Clock this afternoon, when an
inquest viii be held at the Sixth precinct
station-house. An autopsy was held over
the remains yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Coroner GlaZehrook. He found that Mr..
Delahay's skull was badly fractured.
Grocer Hagan was seen by DR.. Hammett
and said there were two wagons passing at
the time Delahay was injured One of
these vehicles was going in one direction
and one in another Mr.. Delahay was
between the two as they passed each other.
Being somewhat deaf, Mr.. Delahay Gould
not hear the rumbling of the wheels, and
as he turned to look at one of the wagons
the other struck him on the knee, and he
fell heavily to the roadway, the fall crush
ing his skull
The coroner could not understand why a
charge of simple assault had been placed
against Mr.. Hagan. If guilty Of anything
it would be maIslaughter, as Delahay died
as result ofhis injuries DR.. Hammett said
the inquest would be held to determine
whether Mr.. Hagan was responsible for
the old gentleman's death by carelessness
or otherwise. The matter is causing a
great deal of comment in the Sixth precinct
and Northeast Washington, where both
parties are we'll known.
