FIRST TO RETURN.
Mr.. Joseph Speidel Left the Gunboat Party
and Is Home.

Mr.. Joseph Speidel was a member of
the Wheeling delegation to San Fran
cisco to attend the exercises in connection
with the placing of the u. S. gunboat
Wheeling in commission. He is the first
to return home, having arrived yesterday.
Mr.. Spedel stated to a Register reporter
that all the Wheelingites are enjoying
themselves immensely, and are more than
pleased with their sightseeing expedi-
tons, and with uniform courtesy and
kindness. with which they have been
treated throughout the West. There will
be many incidents of the trip, both anus
ing and otherwise, to be related by men,
bers of the party upon their return.
1t was the general impression that the
Wheeling party would return by the
same route which they Travelled in going
to the coast, but these plans were altered
before the party left San Francisco. Mr..
Speidel left the party at Pilot Knob, Ark,
yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and all
were enjoying perfect health. The Wheel
ing party was then debating the question
of spending day in Nashville, Tenn. If
they decide to do so they will return to
Wheeling Thursday night. Otherwise,
they will be home tonight

IN ATLANTIC CITY"

I'm Atlantic City" attracted a good
sized audience to the Opera House last
night. 1t is musical farce comedy
with only the semblance of plot. 1t
is in reality vaudeville show, and as
such may be said to have some of the
qualities which will insure its success
this season, although a number of
changes might be made to advantage.
The company includes some prominent
comedians. The specialties ranged
from excellent to bad. The dancing of
the Rooneys was splendid, as was also
the comedy and vocal work of Hast
ings and Wright. Miss Wiley is very
clever. There are about ten ladies in
the company, and the management
evidently selected most of them with
his eyes closed. On the whole it is a
merry production and very pleasing.

The Council fire committee met last
night in answer to the call Of the sub
committee which had been appointed
to confer with the Board Of Under
writer's concerning the present unsat-
isfactory condition of the fire alarm
apparatus. The subcommittee report
ed the recommendation of the Board OF
Underwriters, which was to the effect
that an expert electrician be employed
to test the apparatus. A proposition
was received from the Western Union
Telegraph Company to make an in
spection of the alarm system and put
IL In working Oruer tor a specnled
length OF time, with the recommended
ton that Robert Hazlett, an electrician
OF the Western Union Company, be
employed to do the work.
This was voted down and motion
carried to employ an expert electrician
and have Mr.. Hazlett assist him. Inc
committee will communicate with the
Gamewell Fire-Alarm Telegraph Com
pany, of New York, to learn the expense
of test The fire (Wmmlt-
tee will write the company imme-
diately, and if the cost of a test does
not amount to more than $100 the
committee has power to act without
the special authority of Council. If the
expense will be greater the matter will
necessarily have to be brought before
Council for action.
Chief Kleives was present last even
ing, but was not asked as to whether
he would recommend the expense of an
expert.
The fact leaked out that the chief
had had a representative of the Game
we'll Company here some time ago
without the knowledge of the fire COM
mittee and he had given the fire alarm
apparatus a thorough inspection with
the recommendation that the city ought
to reconstruct the entire system in Or
der to get satisfaction and insure
prompt service when alarms were
sounded. This would mean putting in
new boxes and putting up lines of new
insulated wire, except on the Island
where it is practically new. The pros
poets are that the recommendations of
the Board of Underwriters will be car
ried out and that Council will be asked
for an appropriation to build an en-
tirely new fire alarm apparatus.

Resolutions of Coincidence.

At a. special meeting Of Division No.
A. o. H. held Thursday evening the
following resolutions on the death Of
Brother Patrick Cronin were unanimous
ly adopted.
Whereas the hand Of Divine Provid-
ence has sent the angel OF death once
more into the ranks Of our Division and
taken from the roll one of our most
worthy members, Brother Patrick Cron-
in, in the prime of life, full of vigor and
manhood and called him to appear before
his internal Judge.
Whereas in the death of Brother Cron-
in vision No. 8 A: 0. H. will feel the loss
of one of its most active members, al
ways modest and unassuming in his
demeanour yet laboring constantly for
the elevation and advancement of his
associates. Imbued as he was with the
true spirit of hibernianism he was ever
ready to take up the oppressed cause and
defend the faith and nationality of his
ancestors, his life and character was a
model Of manliness and honour, that
each one of us would do we'll to take for
an example and when our lamp of life
is extinguished as it surely will be per-
haps in a day or a year, it will be we'll
for us if we can meet our creator with
such spotless record as Brother Cron-
in.
Resolved, that we extend to the be-
reaved family of our deceased brother
our heartfelt sympathy in this hour Of
their affection and tender to them any
assistance that may be in our power
to grant.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
published in 1.-THE Irish Standard and
spread upon the minutes of this meet
ing and copy sent to the bereaved FAM
lily of our deaceased brother.
Signed. JOHN T. MCGOWAN.

There are few great actors on the
American stage to-day, and it is claimed
by competent critics that among the few
is Mr. Clay Clement who will make his
initial appearance in this city at the Met
ropolitan Opera House on Thursday eve
ming Jan. 29th. Mr.. Clements genius,
for it is claimed by many that he has
positive genius, is said to be Of wide
scope. Although unknown up to few
years ago, he has, nevertheless, attempt
ed almost every role in both tragedy and
comedy, and it is said that his yersatil-
ity covers the whole range of the drama
His repertoire has included many COM
pick and diyerging characters. He is
said to be an earnest student, ripe
scholar and as scrupulous as Irving in
his attention to stage details. Further
more, he never copies, but is said to fol-
low the dictates. of his own excellent
judgment and thoughtful study. He will
present here play from his own pen,
"The New Dominion" which is said to
be remarkable for it's simplicity, grace
and instruction. His engagement Will
certainly be an interesting one and pro-
misses to be the only theatrical novelty
this season.
Charles F. Haney will leave Normal,
ILL.,, tomorrow afternoon for Minneapolis,
and will arrive in this city Monday
morning. The information is perfectly
reliable, as it comes from Mr.. Haney
himself. ]. B. Bassett, the old friend
and employer of the late city clerk, re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Haney Wednes-
day, in which he expressed himself quite
fully regarding his intentions. Mr..
Haney's letter is consistent with his
statements made to Major Bassett, when
the latter visited him in Normal a few
weeks ago. He said then that he would
return to Minneapolis as soon as he was
able to travel, and that -requisition
would not be necessary. He complains
bitterly of the treatment he has received
from the newspapers, and brands the lat
est story-connecting him with "a gun
play"-as a cruel falsehood. A portion
of his letter is as follows: Il am not
under arrest. I am going back to Min
neapolis without reQuisition, as l said
I would, when able to leave my bed.
The statement made in one of your pa
pers of recent date about my resisting
an ofticer-going to the door with re-
volver, dead body business, etc.-is all
lie from beginning to end. I have not
been out of my bed for weeks. No one
has seen me with a revolver, and no
such threat was ever made. All of this
has been sent out from here with the
evident intention of prejudicing the peo-
pie of Minneapolis against me-
