STFEI, WORKMAN HURT,

An accident occurred at the steel
plant yesterday morning about eight
O'Clock, in which the victim was
Charles Zelles, of Rose Hill. Zelles
was standing near one of the moulds
full of molten metal when it suddenly
exploded. AS he turned to run away
a large piece struck him in the back,
burning the flesh in painful manner.
The cap, which was blown from the
mould with considerable force, struck
him on the left foot, badly MASKING
the left toe. The injured man was
able to walk home, where a physician

A NEW SYSTEM.

1t is likely that the Bellaire Steel
Company will adopt new system of
regulations within short time. There
is considerable talk of running the
mill on three eight-hour turns instead
of the present method OF two turns OF
twelve hours each. With three forces
of men there is no doubt that greater
output of metal could be made.

Francis Wilson's engagement here IS
the most welcome announcement made
by the local managers in many
months. Mr. Wilson is the foremost
comedian on the comic opera stage

cess. He is so refined in his work,
and yet so intensely funny that his
audiences are kept in a roar OF laugh
ter almost all the time he is on the
stage and in Half King" he is sell
dom out of view. Lula CHASER, who for
half dozen years has been Mr.. Will
sons leading support in all his comic
opera successes will be seen here with
him. She is net only beautiful, but de-
cidedly the best singer in comic opera
to-day and one of the brightest, slev-
crest actresses Miss CHASER is a
charming Pierette, the adopted daugh-
ter Of Tireschappe, King of the Noun
tebanks. Mr.. Wilson plays the Tires
chappe and is the merriest king mag
Unable The beauty of Francis Will

ness of detail in the world of fun and
music introduced. Half King is a
magnificent musical treat with fun
enough to satisfy everybody. It's
coming is the greatest event of years.

and night Robert Downing; MONDAY
might, Chauncey Olcott.
Chauncey Olcott, the sweet singer
and clever comedian, will make his
first bow before a Wheeling audience
next Monday night in his new idylllc
romantic drama, entitled Sweet In
niscarra." Mr.. Olcott is conceded to
be the best ballad singer on the stage
to-day, having a voice of perfect pur-
ity in tone The production is most
elaborate; nothing handsomer in cos
tuning and scenery will be seen this
season, being the same as used during
the four months successful run OF the
play in New York Mr.. Olcott is
comedian of different methods to those
usually seen. He is magnetic to a
strong degree; his personality is most
winning. He is the possessor OF a
highly cultivated voice, and to hear
him render one of his own compost
tions is an artistic and musical treat.
The latest vehicle to exploit Mr.. Oh
colts sweet voice and clever acting
is from the pen of his manager, Au-
gustus Pitou, and is in four acts

The role of Nero. which Robert
Downing will portray in his produc-
ton Of the Gladiator" has been play
ed by him more than 5000 times. This
in itself is enough to prove that the
tragedian likes it better than any 9TH
er he has ever tried, but it is not alone
his individual fondness of the charac-
ter that has led him to stick to it year
after year. As a matter of fact Mr..
Downing has tried repeatedly to get
away from the play altogether, and
bring out something new. but the pub
lie will not allow it. There is always
a clamor for the Gladiator" not al
together by the public. to be sure, rs
managers realize it to be the greatest
drawing card in the legitimate line
and invariably stipulate in their con-
tracts that it shall be given a place
in the repertoire. Mr.. Downing and
his excellent company will be at che

Shannon of the SIXTH the military
drama which opened a half weeks en-
gagement at the Grand Opera House
last night, is one of the very best at
fractions which Manager Feinler has
offered to patrons of that theatre dur
ing the present season. 1t contains a
plot of fascinating interest, which is
developed in very natural way and
by very capable company, headed by
the talented young American actor,
Mr.. w. H. Power. Mr.. Powers sup
port is excellent, and there is not q
single weak spot in the cast. After
the second and third acts Mr. Power
and Miss Macauley were called before
the curtain, and the audience rendered
them a perfect ovation. The climax Of
the third act is intensely melodramatic,
the Irish hero saving the generals
daughter by releasing her from the
mouth of a cannon just before the big
gun was discharged. The special
scenic effects show the hills near Delhi,
and an East Indian Jungle. Both are
very cleyerly constructed. The Boston

States proposition to amend the con-
stltution so as to provide for the cleo
