Special to the Register.
Steubenville, o.. August N.-The
body Of Mary, fifteen-year old daugh-
ter OF Charles Wesley, a coal miner of
Mingo Junction, was found in the creek
bed in hollow of the hill below the
city to-day.
The body was badly decomposed.
Three large rocks were found on her
head and her skull was crushed in.
Under her leg was found the dinner
bucket she started from home with for
her father one week ago, since which
time she has been missing.
The trampled condition OF the brush
near by indicates that an assault took

the pieces written by the French play

here in English translations by Miss
Davenport. 1t is said that she paid as
much as $4,000 cash down for each OF
them, to be substracted from the roy
alties, which ultimately reached
much larger sum. She made large
fortune in these ventures by means
of her own merits as an actress and
the potency of the plays. Her illness
renders it impossible for her to do any
acting next season. But she sees

was the beautiful, queenly and accom-

exports performances is almost GER
tain, that she will be close likeness

Albaugh was in a quandary when a
few days before the opening, the aero
bat he had engaged in New York sent
word that he couldn't come. One Of
the stage hands said he knew a fellow
who was clever amateur acrobat.
His name was Lawrence Eddinger,
and he worked in an iron foundry.
Mr.. Albaugh sent for him, and he
came UP to the theatre at his dinner
hour. Larry had never seen a YAM
pire trap in his life. Mr.. Albaugh set
him tc work practicing at the traps,
him. If you know anything about
vampire traps, you will understand
that they are dangerous things to joke
with. When man goes up through
trap, certain weights in the apparatus
are displaced. Well, the stage hands
put on extra weights when poor Larry
came tn make his fret anpooronoa
through the trap. He was sent sky
high among the flies, and it's miracle
he wasn't killed. The boys all thought
it was a great joke, but Invent down and
gave them little lecture that brought
them to their senses.
I'm the orchestra we had a verv fine
cornetist named Grady. He, had come
to us from Canada, and l have heard
that he was deserter from the British
army. But at any rate he was a crack

with him was his fondness for the bot
