CITY DISTRACTED
To Facilitate the General Revival
Movement to Begin Aprial 3rd.
THE THREE CIRCLES, OR SEC
TIONS, AND CHURCHES COM
PRISED N-WHERE
MEETINGS WILL BE Holiday
SERVICES AT ONE POINT.

The executive committee selected
from among the pastors of the different
Protestant denominations of the city
to arrange for a general, revival move
ment, met at the Y. Nj. c. A. yesterday.
Rev. @. b. Graham was made president
OF the committee, Rev. c. NJ. Oliphant
secretary, and DR.. Samuel Schwarm
treasurer.
For convenience in arranging for
and conducting the services the city
has been divided into three districts or
groups, and after meetings have been
held at certain points in each district
the work will be taken up in the indi-
yidual churches.
Section A will include the Island, in
which is located these churches: st.
Luke's, Thomson NJ T.. Second Chris
tian, Baptist mission, First Presbyter-
ian mission. All the general meetings
in this section will be held in the Thorn
son NJ. E. church.
Section B will comprise that portion
of the city north of the creek. In it.
are these churches: English Lutheran.
lrst Presbyterian, Fourth Street M. E.,
United Presbyterian, North Street NJ.
E., Baptist, Zane Street NJ. E., and st.
Matthews. In this section there will
be two successive meetings in each
church in the order named.
Section O is that part of the city
south Of the creek, with these
churches: Chapline Street NJ e., Third
Presbyterian, First Christian Wesley
M. e., Second Presbyterian, German NJ
E. and st. Andrews mission. The ar
rangements for holding series in this
section is the same as for section B.

meeting.

subject in which he seems completely
absorbed.
Odd he ever make any threats
against his family?
A.-Said there are great many re-
yolvers used by his people When he
went to see his father he made the lat
ter keep his hands in front of him, as
he was afraid of being shot. Hissom
had also held revolver in his hand
during the visit. He did this he said
to protect himself. The reason for so
many revolyers, he alleged, was be-
cause they all expected the time would
come to use them. The dispute he
said was over property.
Some surprise was occasioned at this
point by the prisoner and witness,
Henry Belmont, announcing he was
doctor himself and an expert on the
subject of lunacy. He thought defend
ant sane except upon this one subject.
Belmonts testimony was objected to
on the grounds of his not being a cred
IDLE witness. Overruled.
DR.. Dickey had known Hissom three
years ago when the latter was stu
dent of DR.. Best's. When called to the
jail upon the invitation of Hissom the
latter had announced that he was ar
rested for ''iceny." When Dr. Dickey
suggested the word lunacy, Hissom re-
piled, yes, that is it, Witness ex-
animation had only been casual and he
is unable to determine if Hissom's sup
posed grievances are Authorizations I'M
til he knows something of the facts in
the case. He said the delusive form of
insanity is dangerous because the vic
tim will not usually listen to reason.
An objection to a portion of Dr. Dick
ey's testimony was overruled by the
court.
J. R. Hissom, father of defendant,
was recalled.
Q.-DO you own any revolver?
Al never owned a revolver in my
life.
Miss Edith Mason, a neighbor girl,
said HissOm appeared much different
than previous to his going to Europe.
Especially in the use of profane Ian
guage.
Court adjourned to 10 a. m. Tues
day.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE-Macauley
Patton Company.
Every member of the Boston Lyric
Opera Company showed how delighted
they were last night at the big recep-
ton given them at the Opera House,
where they make their temperance
for one week, in the beautiful opera
AmOrlta. The reception given Miss
Josephine Stanton was little less than
an ovation, and the same may be said
OF Miss Mamie Kingsbury. The ap-
plause that greeted Mr.. Henry Hallam,
the tenor, and Mr.. Oliver was very
fattering, and when Messrs. Lett and
Henderson, the comedians, appeared
the applause and cheers were simply
deafening. The company have made
themselves great favOrites in Wheeling
and no wonder, for it is the best roper
tOire operate organization that has
ever visited this city, and there is no
doubt but their engagement this week
will break all records in regard to at
tendance at the Opera House. To-
night the opera to be presented is
Mascotte, written up to date. The
comedy work of the comedians Lett
and Henderson in this opera is said to
excel anything they have yet appeared
in. Another big feature is the march
of the Mascotts, which is done by six
teen chorus girls. The cast tonight
will be:
Prince Lorenzo XVIII. Mr.. Robert Lett
Prince Frederick ...... Mr.. Henry Hallam
Rocco, Farmer ;....Mr John Henderson
BippO, a Shepherd. Mr.. George Olmi
Matteo, Inn Keeper ....... Mr.. R. Jones
Sergeant ...................M Mr.. James Dean
Princess Ftammeta Mamie ki1gSbury
Bettina CThe Mascot Observation-Disclosures.
................. Miss Josephine Stanton
Chorus, Peasants, Courtiers and Soldiers.
The Macauley-Patton company gave
its initial performance at the Grand
Opera House, last EVENING" to a very
large audience, and the engagement,
which extends over the entire week,
promises to be one Of the most sue
cessful of the present season. The
play presented was THE Minister'S
Son" and was rendered in a charming
manner, the company being uniformly
good.
This afternoon the first matinee will
be given, the play being Royal Rags, >
and the same play will be repeated this
evening"

The disciple of old Plato was doubt
less right; yet yesterday we had a fine
day, and it savored of spring.
The poetic ETHEREAL mildness" was
in the air to such an extent that the
mercury went up to sixty-two degrees,
a jump of eighty-four from one week
ago, the sun was bright and warm, and
the day generally was such a one as
to attract almost the entire population
upon the streets. In the afternoon par
ticularly the ladies came forth by hun
dreds, and the streets were gay with
their nodding plumes and bright raj
ment, adding decided to the plausible
idea that Spring had, in trice, taken
the place of Winter, and that hence
forth we were to have bright skies and
warm winds, and that ere long the
grass would be. green again, and the
trees poisoning into summer verdure.
That the idea is as deceptive as a
woman's promise We all realized; and
yet, while the day lasted, we re-
yelled in the delightful change from
the blizzard and snow Of last week,
and made much Of our opportunities to
get a breath of fresh air without risk
of grip or pneumonia. What another
day may bring forth not even the
weather man may know; but the prob
abilities are that the heated term" will
continue for some days yet, although
outdoor recreation may be marred to
some extent by rain.
The effect of yesterdays weather up
on business was very marked. The
number of people upon the streets was
easily twenty times as great as a week
ago, and ladies decidedly predominated.
AS result, the retail stores were
thronged, callers were many, and made
the most of the opportunity, while not
few people from the country and
neighboring towns, snow and ice bound
for ten days past, took advantage of
the chance to come to the city up
on one errand or another Last even
ing, although the air grew damp with
the coming of darkness, promenaders
upon the principal streets were many,
and joking enquiries as to wether or
not soda fountains had been turned on,
and as to the probability of the band
being at the Park next Sunday, were
heard
By last evening the snow, in and
about the city, had disappeared, except
where it had drifted in hollOws among
the hills, and sleighing is decidedly a
thing of the past. The small streams
ran out at a lively rate during the day,
but in no instance was the volume of
water great enough to do any damage.
A big snow never passed off more cas-
lily, and the alleged prophets who
have been predicting a disastrous flood
are held in great popular disrepute.
Details of the breakup in the river will
be found elsewhere in this issue.
