The Sad Fate of a Little South Side Child.
Yesterday Afternoon.
About two o'clock the three year old
daughter of Charles Logston was burn
ed TO death while playing before the
fire. The mother let the nome, going
into the yard, and left the three small
children, two boys, aged eight and four
respectively, and the little girl, nearly
three, playing in an upstairs room. The
girl had a suck in her hand, and thrust
ing it into the fire, lighted it. In some
manner the child's clothing became ig-
nited by the burning stick, and before
assistance could reach her she was hor-
ribly burned.
A young man who was in the yard
heard the screams of the children, and
rushing into the house, hastily jerked
a blanket from the bed, and finally
succeeded in getting the flames exiting
uished by smothering them out.
All that medical skill could accom-
plish was done, but the child had in
hailed the flames and nothing could be
done to save her.
After terrible suffering, death occur
red at five o'clock in the evening.

No American author now before the

toward American subjects as much as
Augustus Thomas, the author of Ala
bama" Mr.. Thomas has N space CT
five years given the theatre-goers Of
the country food for thought in the pro-
ducti0n OF his plays. He has not drawn
upon the other natiOnalities for his
comedies, but has taken It from home
life Mr.. Thomas successes have prov
en- that the American public want plays
dealing with American subjects, Amer
lean characters and American col5edy.
Alabama" was produced N London,
England. a few months ago by the cell
ebrated English actor, Mr. Il. S. VII
lard, and made remarkable success. 1t
will be presented the first time at the
Opera House next Friday evening, Jan
uary 10th.
"A TRIP TO CHINATOWN"
Hoyt's best play, a Trip to China
town. WI be presented at the Opera
House on Wednesday evening next. The
coming of a Hoyt attraction is always
an event of anticipated pleasure, but
greater interest is lent to this occasion
from the fact that it Will be the first
appearance in this city of the talented
Mss Laura Bigger, and the quaint and
clever comedian, Mr. Burt Haverly, as
JOINT stars. This clever pair win play
their original characters Of The W-d-

years or more vita positive success.
The supporting company is composed OF
people possessing the requis.t.On Of tall
ent to play farce; actors of tbs sort
are difficult to find.

The production Of "A Cracker Jack"

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL"
Railroad shows are. not new and
many OF them do not meet with the
hearty approval of the audiences in
cities where they have been seen, but
such is not the case with the Midnight
Special" which is at the present run
ming at the Grand Opera House. 1t is
without question the best Of the many
like productions seen in Wheeling in
years and the audience last night was
not slow to discover the fact. The
company is a very good one and each
character is taken care of in an almost
faultless manner Pleasing specialties
are introduced by the comedians and
original scenery and effects are used.
Midnight Special will be given again
this afternoon and this evening.
