AT THE GRAND THIS WEEK.
The Best Vaudeville Artists on the Stage
to Appear Here-A Big Show for State
Eafr

to Appear Here-A Big Show for State
Fair Visitors.
When Manager F'einler was looking
about for an attraction for Fair week
at the Grand Opera House, he could
ind no strictly high class company to
fill the weeks engagement. He turned
to New York, and the Waldman Spec
ialty Company was organized from the
leading artists of the. Metropolitan the
aires. The company comes direct to
Wheeling for this engagement, and re-
turnes to New York next week. II is
composed Of some of the highest salar-
led persons IN the profession, and but
for the fact that che theatre-going pop
ulatiOn will be augmented during the
week, the wisdom Of this venture by
Manager Feinler might be called into
question. The reputation Of the indi-
yidual members Of the company should
be sufficient 10 pack the house every
night The engagement opens this
evening, and seats are now on sale at
the box Office.
Among the ten peerless acts which
make up the programme for this even
ing. will be the 0lifans, known as the
three headed and three legged monde
Iscripes; Jerome and Elexis, the frog and
the lizard; Miss LillieMay, the Edwards,
Nile Carl!ni and her troup Of educated
dogs, cats and monkeys, Tony Fernan-
dez Wslch and We,ch, Delavoye and
Fritz, Tim Healy, the champion fiat
footed buck and wing dancer of the
world, and others.

Perhaps the best evidence of the high
esteem in which the Rev. DR.. D. a.
Cunningham is held by the members Of
his congregation, was the unusually
large attendance at the services yester-
day, which were the first after the re-
turn of the popular pastor and his Wife
from a trip abroad. In the morning
the congregation was one of the largest
which ever assembled within the walls
Of the church, every seat being occu-
pied.
The services both morning and even
ing were very interesting. When the
pastor, during the reception which was
given on the day Of his return TO the
city. took occasion TO explain the ORR
gin and significance OF the Geneva robe
which is worn by ali Presbyterian cler-
gymen in Scotland, it was understood
that he would adept il himself. Dr..
Cunningham wore the robe yesterday.
He IL the first Presbyterian minister IN
TINS section Of the country to do so, al
though it is being adopted in the East.
The music was q feature OF both SER
vices. During the absence OF DR.. Cum
ningham a new choir was organized,
and the music Will hereafter be of high
order, such as only such artists as the
members of the new choir can furnish.
A glance at the personnel of the choir
proves this It is in charge OF Mrs.
Flora Williams, who directs and sings.
The other members are Mrs. PEBBLES
TaUm, Mr.. Harry W. Hughes, basso,
and Mr.. VIII b. Day, tenor. The or
ganist is Mr. Joseph L. Rhees.
Last night the church was again well
filled, and DR.. Cunningham preached
an earnest and impressive sermon. He
took his text from Isaiah 42d ch., 10Th
and 10th W will make vast mount
aims and hills, and dry up all the herbs;
and I viii make the rivers islands,
ana I will dry up the pools.
These things do l unto them and not
fOrsake them"
de said God threatened terrible
things, yet He promises that lie viii
no, forsake His people. He dwe!t up
on the power Of God, and the punish
ment which he sometimes inilicJs; and
c9atrasted this with His gentleness,
and His love for mankind. The doc
tr!ne of the text was that there is a pow
er beyond mans, and nothing is held
safely without the consent Of Jhat pow
er. He argued that men sho,d be at
least as common-sense in theology as
in the ordinary affairs Of life. He
compared character building TO the cree
ton of a house, and emphasized the
point that if care is bestowed in the one
to guard against the fury Of the ele-
ments and The ravages Of time, 1t is
more important in the other, when the
structure is being built, not for time,
but for eternity. If prudence is neces-
essary to temporal success, how much
more important is it when the destiny
Of the sou, is concerned.
Or. Cunningham continued in this
vein. showing the folly OF considering
temporal matters as Of paramount I'M
porJance. and closed with an earnest
eXLOrtatiCn.

TURNED HIS BACK.
A Fatal Error on the Part Of a Train
Robber, Cor When lie Looked
Around the Engineer Shot Him.

SACRAMENTO, Gala, September g.
An attempt was made last night TO hold
up the overland express train at Webster.
six miles west of this city. The engine
was in charge Of Engineer 2. Ingles and
Fireman Patrick Burns. AS the train APP
preached Webster a man crawled over the
tender and covering the engineer and fire.
man with a pistol compelled them TO stop
the train. The man guarded the engineer
while an accomplice. who had been 10
waiting. started back TO rob the train.
Engineer Inglcs. seeing his captor OF
guard. shot him dead and ran the train in,
to Sacramento. a large force of men IL
securing the country In search of the es'
capped robber The train was crowded
with passengers and there was q large
amount Of money in the express car.
The body Of the train robber who was
shot was found lying this morning near
the track. In his hand was grasped a
loaded pistol The mans name is thought
TO be +. j. Morgan, and he probably came
from San Francisco.
Engineer Ingles, in speaking Of his adj
venture, said:
THE conductor and brakeman came out
on the platform of one of the cars to see
why the train had stopped. One Of the
robbers shot at them twice with his re-
volver and with q string Of oaths ordered
them back into the train. At the sound
of the shooting the robber with me on the
engine stepped to the side between the
cab and tender and looked back. He
turned his back to me. That was my OPP
portunity and ] lost no time in taking
advantage OF it. reached down into my
locker. got my revolver and shot him In
the back. [ shot again and he pitched
forward from the engine to the earth and
rolled down the bank. Then I pulled the
throttle wide OPEN"

FATAL RAIL WAY WRECK.
Engineer and Fireman Killed
and Twenty Passengers
Injured.
The Disaster Supposed TO Have Been
Caused by the Intense Hat Spread
ing the Rails.

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 15.-The second
section of train No. 1, west bound, of the
Denver and Rio Grande, was wrecked
eight miles west of Pueblo. about o. clock
this afternoon. The special was made up
of an engine, dead coach and three tour
ist sleepers. and was occupied by party
of Judson excurslonists who came in this
morning over the Missouri Pacific and
Rock Island roads. The train contained
about seventy passengers. Near the little
station of Vegas the train left the track
and the engine turned completely over.
Engineer Charles E. Davenport of
Pueblo, aged 40, and Fireman William f.
Reppert of Burlington, Iowa. aged 25.
were instantly killed. Davenport has a
wife and four children in this city. Rep
pert wac unmarried. About twenty pas
sengers were injured, but none seriously,
the injuries being confined mostly to
bruises and cuts.
1t is the opinion of railroad men here
that the accident was caused by spreading
rails, due to the intense heat. This has
