Tho performance was not up to the level of
those that have proceeded It this season. The
standard was about that of European pres.
citations. not our New York ones. No espc-
cial lack Of smoothness was apparent, but the
chorus seemed small and the pageantry less
gorgeous than has often been soon. Then, most
important Of all, nearly every voice was
either poor or incompetent to sing Yer
dis music. This was the case prominently
with Melba, whose tone lost much of Its
beauty in attempting those dramatic phrases to
which she is utterly untitled. When she departs
from tho colordtur or from the purely lyric
style her charm is entirely lost. She

'ecial to New Dominion

PARSONS, w. Va, November. IT,
A recount for Congress has been or
dered and is now in progress in this
county. AS the recount proceeds the
large number OF Illegal votes cast at
this election is causing considerable
amazement among the better class of
people.
A. Thompson, a prominent lumber
dealer of this county, man quite
conspicuous in Republican politics,
is charged with having voted a large
number OF Illegal voters whom he
gathered from his lumber camps.
The free use of money and whisl1ey
by prominent Republicans, openly on
the streets bids fair to send some of
these people to the penitentiary before
the matter is finally settled, as evil
dence is being rapidly gathered to
convict the guilty parties From in
formation in the hands OF the Demo
Gratis, the reported vote will be large
ly reduced. The ballots and returns
which came from the Davis and
Thomas precincts were in such
wretehed condition and presented
such opportunities for fraud, in chang
ing the returns that the Democratic
attorneys will be able 60 throw out
these precints. The Republican vote
at Thomas was made up largely Of
I Polanders, Huns and Italians, who
were driven from the mines under the
influence of the whiskey which was
furnished them by saloon-keeper at
Thomas, in the employ of the Repub-
lican committee, and voted like sheep.
The machinery OF the county being
in the hands of the Republican man
ayers, they were allowed To vote.
The Democratic members of the bar
here are active and earnest in the
matter and big results are to be ex-
pected from the investigation now be-
ing made. Hon. G. O. Stribly is here
representing Mr. McGraw and assist
ing the local attorneys.

REPUBLICANS GIVE UP.
The certainty that Dent is elected and
the prospect that Logan will have
majority creates CONSERVATION.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, November,
IA dispatch received here to-day
stating that Dent, Democrat, of Tay
lor county, had been declared elected,
caused CONSERVATION among the Re
publicans, who had hoped to control
the joint assembly.
They have about abandoned hope
of majority sn joint ballot since
Dent is found to be elected and Logan
of Monroe, is almost certain to be de-
clared TO be elected when the recount
is completed. Three districts in Mon
roe, recounted so far, give Logan a
majority of seventeen.
A recount has been ordered in Ka-
nawha and it will begin tomorrow
morning.

badly and never recovered from the
shock, the effects of which finally
caused her death.

HOME AGAIN.
Foot Ball team comes home on
Thursday morning

Men are In fine fettle and are running
over with incidents of the trip VIZ
tories were fairly won and full OF
luster-Old Virginia fairly and
squarely beaten Ohio eaten up Mt
Parkersburg- Never In the game at
all-20 minutes play. 16 to 0.
The foot ball team is at home after
its trip. They were much more sue
cessful than was expected. They de-
feated the University of Virginia six
to nothing and in one half of twenty
minutes ate up Ohio University six
teen to nothing.
The game at Parkersburg was a
farce. The men carried the ball
where they wanted TO with the great
est of ease and wiped out the.stain OF
defeat which was received from the
aggregation from Athens last year.
The crowd got on the grounds bad
ly and the score would have been larg-
er had they sbeen given a chance to
run the ends. As it was however the
boys are1very well satisfied and are
trimming over with happiness.
The people here were not expect
ing the team in this morning and
but few people were at the depot to
meet them. Arrangements had been
made to meet them this afternoon
with brass band and all the stu
dents together with the rest of the
population.
The men are all right in every
way and are running over with the
way they ate old Virginia. The
town went wild over them and the
scenes were indescribable. A great
many old Virginia graduates were
there and they confessed that their
team was outplayed at every point.
The Virginia team was clear out of
heart and when urged into the fray
by their captain said that they could
do nothing with the rushes of the
West Virginians They went into
the old state boys like pack of
wolves and tore through their lines
with an irresistible fury.
Virginia wants another game this
season but it will be year yet be
fore they can get chance at the
laurels which until then will remain
on the west of the mountains.
The line up against Ohio.

DENT ELECTED.
Taylor county ON the recount shows
that Dent was chosen by the people.
pecial to the NEW DOMINION:

special to the New DOMINION:
GRAFTON, Nov. Nv. r. ID.
Dent of this county has been declared
elected on the recount by a good ma
iority. He has 81 more votes than
his opponents although the latter at
was first announced as the winner by
sc votes.
A contest was ordered and on the
recount Mr.. Dent was elected. He
was candidate for the legislature
and the election of his opponent has
been one of the pegs on which hung the
hopes of the republicans to control
the legislature.
The county also showed gain for
McGraw and will aid in reducing the
majority which Dayton has over the
latter on the face of the returns.
Mr.. Dent has many relatives in this
county who will be glad to learn of
his success and to congratulate him
on the great run that he made in the
face of the majority that opposed him
when the campaign opened.

CHEERED THE GIRLS.
College Boys Give Young Ladies in
Ben Hur an Ovation.
Parkersburg Journal .

Ben Hur was given again last eve
ming by the Guild of Trinity church.
The audience was not as large as the
evening before, but the show was
the same artistic success.
A pleasant feature of the evening
was the presence in the audience Of
the w. v. U. foot ball team. When
the young ladies went through their
beautiful Naiad drill. carrying the
old gold and blue of w. v. u, the
boys became very enthusiastic and
gave their yell with vehemence
that was complimentary, indeed.
They followed up the ovation by
throwing large chrysanthemums on
the stage as token of their appre-
citation.
The boys were lively set and
furnished plenty of interest for the
audience, which seemed to be per
fectly in sympathy with them.

M'GRAW II THE MAN.
Democrat certain to be the next

United States Senator from west Vir
ginia.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Noy.17-
Unless all signs fail the next United
States senator from West Virginia
will be a Democrat and his name will
be John T. McGraw. The Republic
cans, protest as they may, have been
outwitted, and when the house of
delegates organizes it will show Dem
ocratic majority of from one to three
more probably the latter, on the face
of the returns. OF the 20 contested
seats, enough will be decided in favor
of the Democrats TO overcome the Re-
publican majority in the Senate and
give their opponents majority on
the joint ballot There is no way for
the Republicans to get out Of the
dilemma. McGraw claimed the Legis-
lature the night after election, di-
rected Ohley not TO weaken, and he
has about made his claims good.
Chairman Dawson's circular noti-
flying Republicans that trickery is in
the air is an admission OF defeat, and
it was, no doubt, put out to let his
party down easily. Governor Atkin-
sons acknowledgment of defeat on
Saturday night was the first intima-
ton the rank and file had that their
party was not victorious. 1t created
surprise, and it's authenticity was
doubted, but that has passed, and
the fear of defeat has now become a
certainty,
