ADJUSTMENTS.

Down in Dixie" is to-nights attrac-
ton at the Opera House. The action
Of the great cotton compress scene is
located in cotton warehouse at Char
lesion, s. C. The villains attempt the
death OF a young naval officer, who is
hunting them down. They discover
him in the warehouse, knock him
senseless, place him in the cotton COM
press, start the machinery, set fire to
the warehouse and depart. The hero
inc Of the play becomes aware Of the
officers peril, and starts to rescue him,
but finds that the door OF the office has
been locked. ThereupOn she breaks a
window, Chambers out, runs to the COM
press and dragS the officers body to
safety just as the great jaws OF the
compress close. This is one Of the most
effective rescue scenes on the stage. The
love story is a highly romantic one, at
tended by many exciting events, OF
which the cotton compress incident IS
but single specimen. Down in
Dixie" is a delight to the eye, the ear
and the heart, and will be enjoyed
keenly. The company engaged in IT
has been organized with great care, and
each part is taken By an actress or ac-
tor especially fitted for 1t.

The zerolc weather promised by the
weather bureau yesterday morning was
very much in evidence In the afternoon,
and more so last night It's principal eff
feet upon business will be the susDen-
sion OF navigation which WIN occur to-
day. and probably the closing Of the
river on the upper Ohio to-day or to-
morrow.
All the indications are for a closed
river. The afternoon report from Pitts
burgh showed only feet inches at the
dam and falling. and both the Mononga-
hela and Allegheny falling. With only
6 feet / inch here at p. m. and the ex-
tremeiy cold weather in conjunction, the
inevitable result. apparently, will be the
freezing over OF the river. The stream
will likely freeze over first at points
above this port. though It Is possible It
will close first at BuckhllI bottom, near
Proctor, thirty miles below Wheeling,
where It has so often first closed in pre-
vlous winters

to-day General Passenger Agent Aus
tin. OF the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
makes positive denial OF the report from
Columbus. Ohio. that the passenger

the Baltimore & Ohio railroad In refus-
Ing to accept business at cut rates from
the Ohio Central line, and that this ac-
tlon was taken owing TO pressure
brought 10 Dear upon the Baltimore &
ohio officials by some of the other lines
interested. Mr.. Austin makes positive
statement that the withdrawal OF the

entirely voluntary and that the Balu-
more & Ohio has not refused 90 pariici-
pate In the business nor does u intend

The city council met IN regular ses-
sion last evening, with large attend
ance in both branches. MoVor Butts
presided in the first branch, and in
the second Messrs. Higgins and Chew
in turn occupied the chair The princi-
pal matters up for consideration were
the wheeling & Elm Grove ordinance
and the matter OF relief Of citizens
from foot passage toll on the two main
channel bridges. The railroad ordl-
nance went through with no opposition
in the First branch, and only one vote
against it in the Second branch. The
bridge committee reported that the
bridge companies declined to do any
thing in the naming OF a price for free
foot passage until council is in a posi-
ton to do something. This resulted in
council naming committee to draft
bin for presentation to the state leg
islature. giving the city or county pow
er to build a bridge, to buy a bridge or
to secure free foot passage on both the
existing bridges.
CITY CLERKS REPORT.

The free bridges for foot passage COM
mittee made It's report TO the hrst
branch, in which It was stated that the
subcommittee had conferred With the
two bridge companies, who stated they
would give no figures for free foot

bridges until the city would make a
definite proposition. On notion, a COM
mittee was appointed 10 secure the
necessary power from the legislature
10 enter into q contract with the
bridges. Mayor Butts named as the
first branch members OF this COM
mlttee Councllmen McKelvey and
Schmidt. The second branch named
Councilmen Mcgrail and Berry. The

tor and citizens committee, and ask

There are two features in "MeDoodle's
Flats" now filling half weeks engage
ment at the Grand, which are worthy OF
especial mention. one is the love-mak-
ing scene between "McDoodle" and
Juliet" Mr. Mullen and Miss Clair,
which Is an intensely funny bit OF COM
edy. and fairly convulsed ;he audience
with laughter last night. The other is
the eccentric musical team, Berry and
Hughes. who played variety OF lnStru-
ments. and played all 50 WELL that they
took encore after encore. "McDoodle's
Flats" is a furiously funny farce. and
will no doubt be witnessed by large
audiences during the remaining per-
formanee. II should be especially pleas
ing 10 the matinee audience to-day.
