OPERA HOUSE&Tuesday night. "a
Boy Wanted; Thursday, Lyric Ladies'
Concent.
Charles E. Blaney's big extrava-
ganza farce comedy, "a Boy Wanted,''
which appears at the Opera House,
is without doubt the biggest success
ever produced by that successful
author. Among his successes may b.
mentioned "A Hired Girl" "The Elec-
trician,' "a Baggage Check" "a Run
on the Bank" "A Chattel Mortgage"
list of which any author may feel
proud. "a Boy Wanted is perhaps
the most successful of his productions
The company which will present it at
the Opera House next Tuesday evening
is one of the strongest ever appearing
in Wheeling in farce comedy.
Another large audience laughed ana
applauded for two hours and half at
the Grand Opera House last night.
Vanity Fair" is all that is claimed
for 1T as an up-to-date theatrical pro-
duction. 1t is merry, jingling COM
bination of extravaganza, farce ana
vaudeville, without dull moment
when the curtain is up. The curtain
raiser and after-piece are making a big
hit, while the olio includes six of the
brightest and newest acts upon the
vaudeville stage. The engagement
has been remarkably successful, and
deservedly so. 1t will close with mat
inee and evening performances TO-
day. when standing room only
should be the rule.
Manager Charles A. Feinler has
booked as the attraction for the first
half of next week, with the usual
Wednesday matinee, Go-won-go Mo-
hawk, the famous American Indian
actress, in a play written by herself,
entitled, "Wep-ton-no-mah, the Indian
Mail Carrier" The drama depicts in
natural way scenes on the frontier,
scenes with which the actress-author-
ess has been familiar during her entire
life. The story of the play is inter-
esting, and is we'll told The produc-
ton requires large amount of speciai
scenery and effects and appropriate
costumes. Miss Mohawk introduces
her two famous educated ponies The
supporting company is said to be uni
formly strong. The company has re-
Gently returned from a tour of Great
Britain which was remarkably success
full. The Grand will no doubt be
crowded to the doors at each perform
ance during the engagement.

ton on the observance Of Arbor Day
in this State:
I'm conformity with a custom which

dition to the regular exercises, which
are primarily intended for adding to
the comfort and beauty of the school
grounds by the planting of shade and
ornamental trees, that a systematic at
tempt be made to improve the interior
appearance and furnishing of our
school buildings.
Let this be the occasion for making
the rooms and grounds where our boys
and girls pass the best hours of the
day and the most impossible years of
their lives so attractive that they will
look back to them in their mature
years with pleasant memories"

Last evening the city came out
ahead in the litigation arising out OF
tie proposed changes OF grade on
Twelfth street, at the intersections of
Market and Main streets, and the
municipality is now at liberty to go
ahead with the work, which was so
suddenly interrupted last Saturday
night.
AS was indicated in the Register yes
terday morning, arguments on the de-
mrrrer of the city to the bill of the
street railway people were. resumed
before Judge PAUL, last evening, Mr..
Erskine, who arrived in the city yes
terday, making the closing argument
for the Companies. In the course or
his remarks Mr.. Erskine stated tina.
while the Company believed it was
justified, from all the facts it could
gather, in making the application for
the injunction obtained last Sunday
morning, he saw that the answer Of
the city to the bill did not bear out
the information previously in his pos
session. The bill, however, contained
the first accurate and authentic infor-
nation the railway interests had been
able to secure. Had the railway in
terests been informed, at the outset,
OF the facts as they appeared in the
answer Of the city to the bill. Mr..
Erskine said he had no doubt an
amicable arrangement might have been
made between the Company and the
city. AS it was, the Company felt
bound to protect itself, acting in the
light of the best information obtaia-
able.
At the close of Mr.. Erskine's re-
marks the Court held, in brief, that
the bill was fatally defective, as
to Sec. of the city ordinance, and sus-
tanned the demurrer of the city. which
practically ends the matter and al
lows the city to proceed with the
work. In making this decision, Judge
PAUL said that if his particular at
tention had been called to the ordin-
ance, he would have declined to have
granted the temporary injunction. He
had since read the law, but had not
read the city's answer.
An order carrying out the decision
OF His Honor was at once prepared.

a disturbance, in which the ex-mayor.
his two boys and q policeman were the
central figures. Mrs. Mcgowan and her

cupied by the ex-mayor and Mrs.
Barnes. 1t is claimed that Mcgowan
and Mrs Barnes walked past the
house where Mrs. Mcgowan and her

with the deliberate purpose Of annoying

told him to take Mrs. Barnes into the
house, and. il is said, made uncompli-
mentary remarks about her. Mcgowan
walked into the yard of his former
wife's house after the boys. They ran
into the house.
Meanwhile Mrs. Mcgowan sent for a
policeman and ordered the arrest Of the
eX-mayor. The latter ordered the pO-
liceman to arrest the boys, but the po-
liceman declined TO do either without a
warrant. The matter was soon quiet
ed down by Mcgowan leaving. There
has been some talk about warrants be-
/ ing issued. but at police headquarters
It was said no steps had been taken as

Three Fireman Lose Their Lives at Fire
In san Francisco.

erty loss Of 100000.
The killed are John Mahoney of
chemical engine No. 6, Frank Keller,
steward OF hose cart No. 2. and James
Hallinan, driver Of truck No. /.
The fire started mysteriously in the
four-story brick building owned by
Schoth & Westerfeld and leased to the
Standard Biscuit company. After the
first alarm the fire chief turned in a
second and general alarm. A stiff
breeze famed the fire within the brick
walls, causing Il to spread with ex-
traordinary rapidity. Adjacent to the
brick factory was a row OF. old wooden
buildings, Including a branch Of the
Salvation Army barracks and the
Southern police station.
Floor after floor of the cracker fac
tory fell in. rendering the walls unsafe.
Then the east wall of the factory top
pied over, and a sheet of flame spread
over the area adjoining. With the crash
of the east wall occurred the tragedy

comrades to carry him away in their
arms, insisting that he must be borne
off on a shutter. All but two of the
band Of firemen ran to procure shut
ter and just as they left their injured
comrade. the wall fell, burying beneath
a mass Of brick and mortar Mahoney
and his faithful friends. The three
bodies were recovered. The loss to the
brick building is estimated at 1000
with 100000 loss on the contents. con-
sisting Of machinery and stock The
damage to the Salvation Army bar
racks was $1,000, and the police station
nominal. The biscuit factory was

THE scene in the chamber of depu-
ties on Saturday during the Jaures in
cident when NJ. Brisson. president of
the chamber, suspended the sitting and
sent for the military guard to remove
NJ. Richards, the Socialist deputy who
had referred TO some Of his colleagues
as police spies, was one OF unwonted
scandal and violence.
M Brisson, after business was re-
sumed. declined to hear M. Jaures, who
interpellated the government on what
he called an attempt to muzzle a depu-
ty, basing his refusal on the ground
that no notice OF Interpolation had been
given.
"A furious uproar followed. NJ. Bris-
son was quite pale with anger but kept
himself well under control Never in
the bitterest invective employed against
an Opportunist minister by demagogues
of the Extreme Left was there greater
violence than in the language of which
IA. Brsson, who owes his seat largely
TO the Socialist vote, was the unjust
object

These are fair samples of the cpl

standing on the floor OF the chamber
hurled at the president. while he. un-
able to maintain order brought the
sitting to an abrupt close"
