"ALABAMA"

Day-A superb ray.

Wr.1.en was the unanimous verdict Of
one CT the best audiences which have

VIII be as potent IN removing the last
v5atige CT an.moSity between the North
and South as was Harriet Beecher
Stoves immortal work in depicting the
disgrace Of human slavery. The stage
settings were superb the scenic work
being of such artistic merit that the au-
d.encs almost fancied It inhaled the
fragrance of the magnolas which were
depicted upon the canvass.
The company is well balanced, and
one OF the best which has been seen IN
Wheeling in recent years. Frank c.
Bangs IS no stranger to Wheeling pa
irons of the theatre, but he has never
appeared in role for which he was
better fitted than that of Col Pres
ton" He was called before the curtain
at the end of the third act, and made a
neat speech which was punctuated with
applause. Clement Bainbridge gave an
excellent Interpretation of the charac-
ter of Capt. Davenport" and with Mr..
Miller and Mss Irving, also received a
curtain call. The Co. Moberly" of
Mr.. Miller was an excellent type of the
gallant Southern gentleman of ante
bellum DAYS. Misses Irving, Halbert.
Sawyer and Poland are a quartette of
charming women, who fairly divided
hon0rs with the male members of the
cast. Edward B. Kelly. in the role of
Squire Tucker" furnished the comedy
element.
1t IS not an. eXaggerat!on to say that
the audience las, night was alternately
laughing and crying. II was also very
apprec.at.ve, and the applause was not
more hearty at any time than when Mr..
Bangs announced that the company had
cancelled its dates for tom ght and con-
scented to remain IN Wheeling for a mat
inae and evening performance to-day.
Alabama" should test the capacity of
the house, as It is wholesome play.
and one of the most mer;tor.ous produc-
tons from an artistic standpoint which
have ever occupied the stage Of the
Opera House.

Shortly after six o'clock last evening
Bernard Rickus, a boy aged fourteen
years. living at No. 261S Market street,
was struck by an Ohio River train near
the mouth of Caldwell's run, and was
terribly injured, having a close call fer
his life
Young Rickus, with several other
boys, had been skating On the river
and was on his way home with his COM
panions. At the point named, while
the boys were walking on one OF the
railroad tracks, they saw train or
engine approaching them, and stepped
to one side, Rickus getting upon the
main Ohio River track. Just as he
did so, the north-hound train, which the
boys had not observed, struck Rickus,
and he was thrown to one side. His
companions went to his assistance, and
gave the alarm, ami the wounded and
unconscious lad was taken to mis- home,
where DR.. Rowe was summoned. The
physician found the skull fractured
about half way between one eye and the
top Of the head, while the scalp lad
been torn loose and the flesh mangled
and severed from the bone almost as
far down as the chin, while one car
was almost torn off. The wounds were
sewed up, and DR.. Rowe was of the
opinion last evening that the patient
would recover. lie had very close
call from instant deaIn.
