In some of his Oriental illusions, as
given this season, Magician Kellar ap-
proaches, apparently, very close to the
lines of the supernatural. In Princess
Karnak'' he shows how it is possible
to send a young lady through the air,
in the theatre, in full light, over the
heads of the audience, so quickly that
no one can see her go. He accom-
plishes this in the following manner:
Two wooden cages with Slated sides
and doors are shown, one on the stage
and one suspended ten feet In the air.
The princess is locked in the lower one
and at the magical word of command
is gone. She is seen tripping lightly
down the aisle of the theatre from the
rear, towards the stage, but how she
got there no one can fathom. She is
again Imprisoned and a second time
as mysteriously and instantaneously
disappears. This time the audience
crane their necks to look at the rear
Of the house but she isn't there. The
upper cage is unlocked, and there Is
the princess, smiling prettily whilst in
the cage on the floor is a six foot SOL
der in full regimentals. This is but
one of the dozen full stage illusions
that will be given when Magician KeI-
lar comes to this city He will be at
the Opera House Monday evening.

THE JUSTICE SHOPS.
Robert Richardson Held to the Criminal
Court-Other News.

ROBERT Richardson Hello 60 the CrfmtDai
Court-Other News.
Robert Richardson, of Martins Fer
ry, who was arrested last week by
Police Officer Turner on the charge
of forgery, was given a hearing yes
terday before Justice Rogers. The
testimony of Mrs. Donovan, who keeps
a grocery on Seventeenth street, was
introduced as evidence for the prose
cution, as were also the two checks
found on Richardson when arrested.
Richardson had no witnesses, nor
would any attorney take his case
The defendant denied all the evidence
given against him. He said he had
never seen Mrs. Donovan nor the check
which he gave her in payment Of
groceries. He also denied he had ever
seen the two checks found on his per-
son.
"Why, don't you know I, myself, saw
you try to pass one of those checks?"
asked Justice Rogers.
ooh, well, let it go at that" was the
reply.
AS the evidence was decidedly
against the defendant, he was held in
TIC SUM VI pow lOl tlc VI SOQl L.
In default of bond, Richardson went to
Jail.
On the theory that Richardson has
some very crafty accomplices who have
been aiding him in making out the
checks, the police have been hard at
work endeavoring to locate them. So
far, no additional information which
could be given out has been secured.
The prisoner has not as yet made any
statement to account for how the paper
came into his possession. His method
of passing out the bad paper either
shows him to be very slick article or
insane

OTHER MINOR COURT ITEMS.

the Love family yesterday. Mrs. Mary
Jane Love, it seems, got very drunk,
and going to her home on East Seven
tenth street, began to throw bricks
and things through the windows. Her
husband, Alexander Love, and son,
Robert, were within, and coming out
side, demonstrated with the lady She,
however, would not discontinue the
bombardment. A fracas ensued which
ended in Justice Fitzpatrick's court.
Mrs. Love was fined 81 and costs for
being drunk, in default Of which she
went to Jail. Her son was fined SIS and
costs for assault and battery, which he
paid. A charge of assault and battery
against the husband was dismissed.

some IMPROVEMENTS
Being Made at Different Local Indus
trial Plants.
! NEW PLATE MILL MAY BE
ERECTED AT THE BELMONT
WORKS-A LARGE NEW BUILD
ING TO BE PUT UP BY THE
SCHMULBACH BREWING COM
PANY.

1t Is probable that the Wheeling Iron &
Steel Company will soon possess three
plate mills of equal capacity at its Bel
mont plant, on the South Side. The new
plate mill is being fitted out with third
blasting furnace, which will make it as
large as the old plate mill, and the COM
pany is contemplating putting up another
plate mill of similar capacity in the near
future The work of putting up a new
casting house at the works has been COM
pleted. 1t is structural iron and is con-
sidered as being one of the finest build
ings of the kind in the valley.

At the Schmulbach brewery the old brick
wash house is now being torn down and
will be replaced with larger and more
modern building Of stone and brick. The
new structure will be completed at q cost
of about $1,000, and will be quite an inn
provement to the brewery.
1t viii be one hundred feet long. ninety.
feet wide and two stories high. On the
first floor there viii be a wash house and
a shipping room and on the second floor
there will be a pitch yard and cooper
shop. Each department will give employ
ment to a larger force of hands. The
capacity of the wash house will be greatly
increased. At present there is some de-
lay in the work OF making the improve
nlents owing to a scarcity of stone masons.
However, the work is being pushed for
ward as speedily as possible under the
circumstances, and it is expected that the
structure will be complete at an early
date.

TO them while they we're trying TO urge
that boat back TO land, At last Maggie
thought she was near enough TO jump
ashore, aud did, gaining a good foot
holo.
But alas for Marguerite. She threw
down her oar and thought she would
follow Maggie's example, but az the boat
was not steady when she gave her leap,
instead Of procuring firm standing, she
landed just at the edge Of the water next
to steep bank and was slipping backward
into the deep stream. She clutched at
some brambles growing on the bank,
but oh horrors they too were giving
away, when 10 through the mist that
had gathered before her eyes was seem a
small, trembling, white hand reaching
downward to the rescue.
Maggie had quickly taken in the sit
uation and grasping a little bush with
one hand, held out the other to Marquee
rite, which was most gratefully clasped,
and with some little pulling on the part
of Maggie and climbing for Marguerite
they both reached point of safety with
pallid faces and gasping breath. They
had received few scratches, were con-
sidersbly dampened, but aside from that
and good fright they were not other
wise injured.
On the other hand they had learned a
very valuable lesson. First to appreCi-
ate and be satisfied with present pleas
ures and enjoyable surroundings, not
seeking for greater and imprudent re-
sorth which sometimes gets us into
trouble, and lastly TO always lend a help
ing hand to the fallen ones in the hour
of need. Oh how much good the aid oil
that little hand did to Marguerite-res.
cued her perhaps from watery grave.
Some years have now elapsed since
the occurrence of this event, and al
though the dark blue waters flow gently
on, the birds sing as sweetly, the quiet
shade looks a envitingly and the "old
boat" is still anchored near the same
sycamore, Marguerite and Maggie have
never attempted another excursion
alone.
Bruno is still faithful companion and
has become an expert swimmer, but he,
too, leaves boat riding pleasure Of the
past. Now when a party sets sail he
stays on land accompanying them along
the shore.
