several times it has been reported thai

ground, and the inevitable came to pass
early this morning, as above stated.

to many a heart. An old citizen of
Bridgeport, he was universally esteemed
n that town and surrounding country,
and had a wide acqua!ntanceship on the
West Virginia side of 1he river. A
man Of many noble parts, a physician
Of conspicuous ability, and a devoted
and self-sacriflcing friend, he will be
mOurned by all who enjoyed an init
mate acquaintance with him, while
those who We're not so close 10 him, yet
recognized IN him the best type Of citi-
zenship and manhood, VIII deplore his
loss as a dis,ino, one to the community
in which ne lived.

home about two weeks ago, since when
he has slowly lost ground until death
resulted, as stated. The time OF the

ADJUSTMENTS.
MARIE WAINWRIGHT.

Miss Marie Wainwright and a very
strong company, headed by Nathaniel
Hartwig, Barton Hill and Hattie Rus
sell. will appear at the Opera House on
Tuesday. October 29th, in a superbly
cosumed presentation Of the celebrated
comedy, "The Love Chase, by Sheri-
dan Knowles. In New York Miss
Wainwright was recently most enthu-
siastically received in this play. The
New York Herald said: Miss Vain
wright gave a very good rendering of
the role OF the hoyden whom the touch
Of love transfers into a true woman.
Miss Hattie Russell was an excellent
Widow Green and Miss Gertrude Elliott
awakened sympathy. A minuet. dane
ed at the close of the fourth act, was
pretty. The comedy is gorgeously
dressed in the style Of Charles H."
On Wednesday Miss Wainwright will
present her new society drama, His
Puritan Wife"

TWO JOHNS.
Despite the fact that the Two Johns
has been before the public for fifteen
years. quite a large audience turned
out to see them at the Opera House
last night. J. c. Stewart and Paul
Dresser are the bright and particular
stars land big ones at that who have
made the show what it is, and to them
and the excellent supporting company
is due credit for the continued popu-
larity of the play. Specialties by Mr.
Stewart. Paul Dresser, Miss Corinne La
Vaint. Miss Lillian Leonard, William
A. Stanley and John l.. Manning were
well received and merited the applause
accorded them. The company has been
on the road all summer, and that GER

THE THREE GUARDSMEN.
Both the matinee and evening per-
formances of The Three Guardsmen at
the Grand Opera House were attended
bv fair-sized audiences. These per-
formances closed the engagement,
which was one deserving Of more pat
ronage. The company was exception
ally strong, and they at some future
time play a return date. 1t is to be
hoped that the business will be just a
little bit larger.
