can be plainly distinguished. Among
other things found are walnuts and

ANOTHER WEEK OF OPERA.
Bohemian Girl' ut Wheeling Park Mon
day and Tuesday.

day and Tuesday.
The week of summer opera at Wheel
ing Park Casino which closed last night
has been the most successful since 1t
was inaugurated, and is certainly en-
couraging to the management. Last
evening THE Chimes Of Normandy
was presented to a big audience, and
the beautiful Casino was we'll filled with
people who enjoy good music. The
leading roles in the hands of Miss Knox,
Miss De Rue, and Messrs. Campbell,
Roberts and Ricketts,, were we'll rem
dered, while the chorus was strong and
capable. The performance was cor
dialy received by the audience. The
coming week new bill will be present
ed which cannot fail to attract. The
ever-popular and always beautiful
Balfe's Bohemian Girl" will be sung
on Monday and Tuesday evenings,
"Salte" on Wednesday and Friday
evenings, and the tuneful "Beggar Stu
dent" on Saturday matinee and night.
Thursdays day is open on account OF
the Grocers' convention. The Lyric
opera company has made a favorable
impression here, and it has gained a
strong hold on Wheeling theatre-goers.
The Park is now at its most beautiful,
and there is no more delightful
place TO spend an evening. The
management has made every arrenge-
ment to accommodate the crowds with
special motors, and popular prices will
rule. This afternoon a free concert
will be given nv the cOmDanV on the
arrival of the o'clock motor. This
will prove an added attraction to visi
tors at the popular resort to-day.

SMALL TALK.

A serious accident was narrowly
averted at the Wheeling Bakery Com
pany Friday night. The mud valve in
the boiler was allowed to remain open,
and one of the day force turned on the
gas. If the water had been turned on
an explosion would have resulted. AS
it was. several tubes were burned and
the boiler ruined.

Yesterday the employees of the lower
Benwood mill held a largely attended
meeting at the Benwood City Hall for
the purpose of considering the proposed
ten per cent cut. mention of which was
made exclusively in the Register
couple of weeks ago. Unless the SIT
uation is changed, the reduction OF
the day men will go into effect June
Dist. and the tonnage men thirty days
later. The unanimous sentiment at
Yesterdays meeting was against ac-
cepting the reduction, and several
speeches were made indicative
Of this intention. After con-
siderable celebrating a committee
was appointed to call upon the manage
ment of the Wheeling Iron and Steel
Company and object to the reduction
being carried out.
1t is hardly probable that the man
agement will accede TO any requests
of the men. for the Company is making
general reductions gradually in all de-
partments of their different plants. and
have shown no disposition to compro-
mise matters. According to the eX-
pressions of several of the men, the
plate mill employees will refuse TO ac-
cept the reduction. The ten per cent.
reduction made by the Company OF
the Belmont blast furnace employees
wages will go into effect to-day. The
striking employees of the plate mill at
the Belmont are still out and their
places filled by new men and laborers
about the mill The men have received
their back pay, as stated heretofore
and are considered no longer in the
employ of the Company.
NJ. NJ. Garland, president of the
Amalgamated Association, was In the

labor leaders concerning the industrial
situation at the various local plants
and in regard to the new Amalgamated
scale. which is being prepared with
the expectation of going into effect
July LIST. The conference between the
Association and manufacturers Will be
continued this week at Pittsburg and
Youngstown. President Garland says
that the Amalgamated Association Will
make no material concessions and will
insist upon the increases voted for at
the recent convention held in Detroit.
The manufacturers at Youngstown re-
fuse to accept the $3.50 pudding ton
rate. and say they will not pay more
than 81 The tin plate manufacturers
also state that they will not agree to
raise the scale of wages of tin workers
for the coming year 1t is the opinion
of some labor leaders that they have
taken this stand in order to secure

glycerine passed down the river, with a
red flag displayed at the bow Of the
boat. A coupe of tow-boats were COM
ing up stream and passed the skiff at
the lower part of the Island. The boats
stopped running when they saw the
danger signal and Rugged the Virginia

mite pulled hastily to the Island shore
TO get as far away from the boat waves
as possible.
