TWO CHILDREN HURI
ID an Accident at the Fahey Bros.
Lumber Yards,
ON THE SOUTH SIDE, YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON - WERE CAUGHT
UNDER A LOG WHICH FELL
FROM THE TOP OF A PILE OF
TIMBER-0THER MORE OR LESS
PAINFUL MISHAPS.


While playing about in the Fahey
Bros. lumber yards in the Eighth ward,
yesterday afternoon about o'clock,
Emma Jepson, aged four years. a
daughter of John Jepson, an employe
of the Wheeling steel plant, and Emma
Schellenberg, aged three years, a
daughter of August Schellenberg, an
employee of the Riverside mill. residing
respectively at Nos. 4237 and 4239 Wood
street, sustained painful injuries in an
accident.
The two children attempted to climb
small pile of timber near the planning
mill and in doing so caught hold Of a
large log which projected at the top.
The log fitting over fell to the ground,
striking the children and causing them
to be thrown violently to the ground.
Mr.. Jepson's child sustained scalp
wounds and bruise over her right
eye, and the young daughter of Mr..
Schellenberg had her upper jaw bone
broken and her skull crushed. They
were carried by the mill workmen to
their respective homes nearby, and
DR.. r. NJ Rau was summoned. 1t Is
thought by the attending physician that
the little Schellenberg girl, who was
more seriously injured than her COM
panion, will recover. Both were resting
as easily as could be expected last eve
ming.

The hold which Little Irene Myers,
the winsome and clever child star, has
upon the hearts of Wheeling theatre
goers, was very much in evi6ence
last night, when the Grand Opera
House was crowded, and many were
turned away unable to obtain stand
ing room The opening bill was THE
Silver King" The company-the
best which has ever surrounded the
little lady-gave a very satisfactory
performance, both from a dramatic
and scenic standpoint. The singing
and dancing specialties of Miss Myers
and especially engaged vaudeville
teams, constituted a very pleasing
feature. The audience was delighted
This afternoon the company will pre-
sent "The Silver King" and to-night's
bill will be the famous melodramatic
success "Outcasts of Great City"
with Miss Meyers in a difficult dual
role. Wednesday night THE Bur-
glar" will be given.

"The Highwayman," to be heard at
the Opera House Thursday night, is dis
tinctly a genuine comic opera, when
compared with the execrable musical
pieces that are palmed of for the gem
uine article. but which are nothing
more than conglomeration OF horse
play, buffoonery, and vulgar display
"The Highwayman." by virtue Of its
tuneful music, the cleanliness Of its
comedy and the beauty Of its stage pic
ture, has been stamped as the best and
most satisfying entertainment in the
operatic line tina thas been presented
for a decade.
