AT THE GRAND.

The Heart of Chicago" which de-
serves the distinction of being the
very best production ever given by
Lincoln J. Carter opened half weeks
engagement at the Grand Opera House
last night and was witnessed by very
appreciatiye audience. The plot opens
in Chicago during the big fire, and Is
developed in an easy and natural way.
1t is especially strong in its special
scenery. The approaching train effect
is one of the most ingenious and most
realistic ever given upon any stage.
The company is uniformly strong, the
leading roles being especially well
taken and handled in very artistic
manner There We're several curtain
calls last night. The Heart of Chi
cago" will be on the boards during the
remainder of the week, and is the sort
of a melodrama which never fails to
attract large crowds TO the Grand.

BARGE CARRIED AWAY.

The ice running out of the Allegheny
Wednesday carried away a barge be-
/, longing to Henderson & Johnson. The
barge was loaded with ties. The
swift current that is row in the river
is demonstrated by the fact that the
barge which was carried away after
the Queen City left Pittsburg, passed
that boat sometime in the night while
the Queen City was lying at Steuben-
vile during the fog. The Queen City
caught up to the barge at point just
off Warrenton and towed it into port.
