WHEELING 1)RNVERE|a
Gave Their Annual Masquerade Ball
Last Evening
AT THEIR HALL ON NORTH MAR
KET STREET - THE AFFAIR
WAS A GREAT SUGGESTIVE
CAKE WALK A FEATURE OF
THE EVENING,

The annual masque carnival of the
Wheeling Turnverein took place at
their hall on North Market street last
evening. Meister's full orchestra fur
nished the music. The entertainment
throughout was great success. The
crowd was very large. On all sides
We're to be seen costumes of EVERY kind.
Some were handsome, others were not,
but on the general principle that
everything goes at masque bail, all
went merry as a marriage bell indeed.
Although there were the usual bever-
ages to be had, the crowd was excep-
tionally orderly and there was none of
the usual boisterousness so common
at affairs of the kind.
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock the carnival
march was formed. 1t was led by the
floor committee in natty sailor CO.'S
tunes. The committee was composed
Of the following members: Herman
Fredericks, Phil Schambra, Chris.
Dl dHuldo0, JOHn AL hSSSuGT, LOUIS
Ripple, George Brandfass, William
Bruhn and c. Hess. Directly follow
ing the committee were eight young
ladies attired also in sailor costumes.
Following these were the couples of
the cake walk. Then followed all the
rest, irrespective of any order of ar
raIgement.
At the conclusion of tie march the
cake walk, one of the main features of
the evening, was called. Eight couples
participated. The struggle for the
prize, an elegant model of the bakers
art was one that called forth the very
best efforts of the contestants. At
the conclusion the decision of the
judges, along with the cake, was awai c.
cd to couple No. /. Popular opinion up
held the judges choice. 1t was noticed
afttr the walk, the winners popularity
stock was Immediately on the rise.
About 1870 the masks were ordered
off, and Immediately the dance was
resumed with renewed vigor. At
late hour the dancing was discontinued.

AWAY DULL CARE.
Picturesque Annual Masque Carnival
of the Arion.
THE NINETEENTH EVENT CELE-
DRAFTED WITH MUCH ECLAT.
MANY BRILLIANT COSTUMES
WORN BY THE GAY DEVOTEES.
LIST OF THOSE WEARING CON-
SPICUOUSLY HANDSOME AT
TIRE-THE TURNER'S.

Of the many notable festivals of per-
ennial recurrence observed by the vari-
Gus societies of Wheeling, there is none
more gladstone, joyous and gay than
the annual masque carnival of the
Arion. No event is looked forward to
with greater expectancy and none Is
entered upon with more zest or keener
relish. When the hour for the happy
function arrives, the members put dull
worldly cares behind them, and for the
once in each long weary twelve-month,
revel in that realm of burlescue so
provocative of mirthful sociability, con-
VITALITY and good cheer.
The nineteenth annual affair, given
by the Arion last night, shows that gem
uine pleasure loses naught by repeti-
ton, but like a good story we'll told,
grows in interest as memory entwines
about it and form endearing reminis-
cence.
While these events in past years have
all been planned and executed with ad
mirable judgment and taste, yet this
one suffered nothing in comparison
with it's predecessors, if indeed, it did
not altogether surpass them. The
music, the costumes. the supper and
the many social features planned for
the delectation of the guests, were
superb. and were responsible for the
entire and complete satisfaction of
every enc.
The carnival began promptly at 8
o'clock, with the grand march, and a
burst Of inspired music from the
Opera House orchestra. The masquer-
aders filed into the hall, led by Admiral
Dewey, in the person of Prof. Del
brugge. He was followed by Prince
Carnival, unprecedented byVictor Weiss,
who had an escort of four French
clowns. David Kraus, Charles Loeffier,
David Morgan and Carl Lange.
These latter had as a fellow Jester a
real live donkeJ in the character
vouched for hind by mother nature.
Next came tho committee on arrange
ments and be tween them the macque-
raiders enmass. After paying respects
to the Prince in abeisance most court
eous and profund, the dance was taken
up and in dizzy whirl the participants
kept up the merry sport until the sig
nal was given to unmask, and supper
came next. Naturally there were
many surprises and many jokes with
which to twit those who had guessed
amiss. After the elaborate repast the
merry-making preceded without in
terruption until early morning.
The dance committe was composed
of Messrs. o. T. Schneider, F. ]. Miller,
c. R. Goethe, Jacques Front, Ed. Vaas,
A. c. Schneider. Walter Rau and
Matthew Kovelan. All impersonation

THE CRIMINAL COURT

Will Decide the Fate OF the Three Men
Charged with Stealing Cloth from the
Hess Tailoring OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Case Before Justice Rogers
The hearing of Henry Belmont,
Frank Randall and Joe Tragolia, the
three men charged with stealing bolt
of cloth from Hess, the tailor, took
place in the Jail yesterday morning.
The evidence introduced warrented the
holding of the meu for the criminal
court. They were all committed to Jail
in default of $500 bond for their ap-
pearance before that body at it's next
sitting.
The charge brought against them by
w. D. Jones could not be sustained, and
that case was dismissed.
The police have discovered nothing
of any consequence concerning the trio,
that has not already been published.
Brose Swannenberger was arraigned
before Justice Rogers yesterday by Off
Ger Arthur Ingram, charged with
stealing two lap robes from Gala Nit
chell. The charge was sustained and
the prisoner fined $40 and costs.
Swanenberger, after paying the fine,
told the justice how he had come into
possession of the robes. He said he
was drunk and party who was with
him threw the robes into the sleigh.
He made no inquiry about where they
had come from, and the first evidence
he had that they were stolen was his
arrest. He said the incident had taught
him lesson he would not soon forget.
