AT THE THEATRE.

AT Pineg Ridge" another OF those
PLAYS that are destined TO lay the
foundation for the distinctive Ameri-
can plav. will be given at Harper 5
theatre tonight. This play has the
true flavor and faithfully depicts the
langourous life of tie sunny south
without any of the cheap stage eXag-
geration that has ruined so many So
called southern plays The character
of Jack Rose, the hero of the drama,
is well told. and while Mr.. Higgins
has properly given himself in this
part the lions share OF the interest
and opportunities, he has not sub
merged the other characters, but has
so distributed the material that every
parsonage in the drama has at some
time an excellent chance to produce
effects All the acts are good and
the scenery is specially characteristic.
Among those supporting Mr.. Higgins
are Misses Georgia Waldron, Lydia
Knott, Lottie Wade, Marie KinZie and
Messrs. Frederick Hardy. Harold
Scott, Van KinZie, Frederick Hearn
and others.
The entire comedy of "A Ragtime Re
ception. - which comes to Harper thea
tire tomorrow night, i in ragtime Only
q very faint idea Of the comedy can
be gathered from the story, as in this !
farce the old story holds good that |

story Of tho play deals with the trials |
and tribulations OF An old gentleman |
named y. Digestion. who has married |
"a young wife who formerly was a /
mem her Of the Ragtine Burlesque

fusion brings down the curtain on the

MARTINS FERRY.

The route laid out for the sewer in
district No. is at present the cause of
some discussion among the residents
of the north side of Walnut street, and
those on the south side of Hanover
street The intention of council was to
have it laid in the alley between
Walnut and Hanover street, from
Sixth street west. To this the Wal
nut street residents are Directing
strongly basing their objections on the
feet that their lots are 200 feet deep
and the cost CT laying pipe from the
houses to the sewer connection will be
so great. For this reason they want
council to change the route and have
it laid on Walnut street, Hanover
street property-owners are raising a
kick against such a change and want
the sewer laid in the alley so they too
can have the use of it. Council at
their last meeting discussed the mat
ter at some length but reached no con-
clusion. A committee was appointed,
however, to make further inquiry into
the matter 1t may be that the alley
sewer will be abandoned and a sewer
laid on both Walnut and Hanover
streets. This would only be an extra
expense to the town as the alley sewer
could be used by residents of both
streets.

PARKERSBURG, W. Va, August 4.
A buster was the result of the Uni
ted States Co.'S venture on the
Headley farm in the Cow Run sand
which was completed north of this city
yesterday.
In the Richie county fields the Doug
las and Ryan wells just completed by
the South Penn Oil Company are both
dry. The Douglas farm well, however,
had a small showing CT gas.
The South Penn Oil Company, who
some time ago begun the work of test
ing their large holdings in Gilmer
county, abandoned the project, but it is
now believed they will go ahead with
the work. They have nearly one-half
of the county.under lease.

THE DAvIS-ELKIH DEAL.

According to the reported agreement
terests and Mr.. Richard C. Kerens, of
Missouri, who is largely interested in
the West Virginia Central r. r., the
output Of the coal fields traversed by
that road, will hereafter not be sent
to tideWater by way of the B. & O., but
will be taken over the w. Va. Central
and to tidewater over the Pennsylvania
road, while the w. Va. Central Com
pany is contemplating building an addi-
ton of seventeen miles and connecting
to the South with the Chesapeake &
Ohio
If this deal has been made as report
ed the B. & o. will be deprived of a
large portion of its coal hauling BUST
ness.
In this connection it is whispered
that Hon. Henry G. Davis and Senator
Elkins are only waiting favorable op-
portunity to dispose of their great coal
interests in this State and retire from
active business. PROFESSIONALLY the
mere getting of more money can be no
incentive to either of them, but 1t IS
a question if men of such large for
tunes ever can be said to retire from
active business, for their necessarily
large and varied investments cannot
but be Of character to require their
almost constant attention.
He who is enabled to amass great
wealth in this world inevitably piles
I'D for himself burden which he can
not shake off and retain his wealth.
