WHEELING PARK SUNDAY.

There is no vocal organization with
in a radius of a hundred miles Of
Wheeling that enjoys such a prestige
as the Pittsburg Quintette. 1t has been
engaged at all the prominent open air
concerts in S~chenley, Calhoun and
Youngstown parks. and Is in popular
demand for social entertainments and
concerts. The Wheeling Park manage
ment undoubtedly made a ten strike
when the Quintette was secured as a
special attraction for Sunday afternoon.
The Wheeling Opera House band viii
play as usual, and the Quintette will
be a supplemental feature. a rare
musical treat is in store for patrons Of
the Park. and with favorable weather,
it goes without saying that the attend
ance will be very large.

LIBERTY GRIEF.
ice WEIGH Arrested by a Maryland
Officer After the Expiration of a
Two Years Term in the MouldsVills
P~enitentiary.

Two years ago Joe WEIGH, Joe Davis
and Joe Carney were convicted in
Berkeley county, on a charge of rob-
bling a ~posteffice near M~artinsburg.
WEIGH was sentenced to two years
confinement in the State prison at
Moundsville, and each of his compan-
ions was sentenced for three years.
They are a desperate trio, and are sus-
peeted of many robberies in the east
ern part of the West Virginia and in
Maryland. Yesterday the sheriff of
Allegheny county, in which Cumberland
is located, arrived in M~oundsville, and
communicated with Warden S. A.
Hawk, of the penitentiary. Welch's
time expired at midnight, and the sher-
if was on hand to promptly rearrest
him. The sheriff and prisoner hurried
to the B. & O. depot, and boarded the
e%astbound train passing through
Moundsville shortly after 1 o'clock In
the morning.
WEIGH is wanted for another postof-
fee robbery near Cumberland, and
claims to have sufficient evidence to
send him to prison for fifteen years.
If he is convicted, his two accomplices
will also be arrested at the expiration
of their terms in M~oundsville.

ALL COAL AFL0AT
On the Ohio and Mississippi Will Be
Bought in by the Comblne-.-0ther
River Items.

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 20
The Monongahela River Consolidated
Coal and Coke Company will buy all
river coal afioat at Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Memphis, New Orleans, Pittsburg
and elsewhere. An operator said to-
day that he estimated that 20,000,000
bushels of coal is afioat at Pittsburg
and in the pools of the Monongahela
river; 1000, 900 bushels at Cincinnati
and a like amount in the yards and
elevators, a small amount at Louisville
and Memphis, and 6,000,0 600 bushels at
New Orleans. 1t is said that Fourth
pool coal is worth Az cents at Pitts
burg. 1t is expected that the opera
tors will get this amount for their pro-
duct.
The consolidation will pay the mining
rate for the coal, the cost Of bringing
it to Pittsburg and keeping it afoat
here and the interest on whatever paper
was necessary to carry the coal. The
market price will probably be paid for
the product in the Southern markets.
The coal afoat at Pittsburg is esti-
mated to be worth nearly $1,000, 900.
Moderate rains fell last night up the
Allegheny and Monongahela valleys
and a general rain seems to have fallen
throughout the Ohio valley. Not much
Of a rise is, however, looked for. Only
slight rises are reported from up-river
points and a rise of a foot may be the
result of the rainfall 1t is difficult to
forecast the stage of the river at this
season of the year, as usually as the
ground is very dry and the earth alb
serbs most of the rainfall. The coal
operators are, however, anxious for a
coal shipping stage. but most of them
adhere to the opinion that there will
be no rise until the snow flies.

A HOT ROAST.

The following glorious send-of is
given one of the old favorites of Wheel
ing amusement lovers by a Parkersburg
paper. The show must have greatly
de%generated:
The Rentz-Santley show at the
Auditorium last night was about the
vilest thing ever put on a respectable
stage in Parkersburg. It was gross
and vulgar. A few ladies were pres
ent when the curtain went up but they
quickly escaped. 1t was too rank for
some the men, a few of whom got away
long before the curtain went down. 1t
was one of those shows about which
nothing good can be said, and the bad
Is in~describable. It did not ever pos
sess the merit of refined ~indecency."

For an actress. and a young one Ct
that, to be characterized as The Fee
male Sol Smith Russell of the Edge
wood Folks days" is complimentary,
to put it mildly. This is what a New
York dramatic critic said recently Of
Rose Melville. the young character
comedian, who will be seen in her new
play, sis Hopkins at the Opera
House Monday and Tuesday evenings
OF next week. The play s written
by Carroll Fleming, and the homely
sentiments of charity, truth and hui
mainly ring through it clear and true,
and no one car witness it without be-
ing a better man or m for the ex-
rerience. The fun in it is all clean and
legitimate, notwithstanding it is side
splitting In its nature. The company
supporting Miss Melville is an unusu-
ally large one.
The famous Diamond Brothers big
double white Ministries come to the
Grand next week. The Diamond
Brothers minstrels show, fifty strong.
opens Monday night, and there is no
doubt but that the attraction will pack
the house at all performances and
please everybody who sees it. This
minstrel troup has always been a favor
tie on account of the excellence Of the
show presented. This season 1t IS Q
onlv larger, but brighter and better
thar ever. The first part is said to be
a marvel of beauty; the costumes and
scenery are not only magnificent, u
the singers and comedians are among
the foremost entertainers in the line
of minstrels. The olio consists OF an
array of vaudeville artists, all of whom
are entertainers of high merit.
The standing room only sign was
onf at the Grand Opera House last
night. and the size Of the audience was
at once a recognition of the dramatic
ability Of the McCauley-Patton ON
pany and a merited compliment to the
author-actor Mr.. w. B. Patton. Mt
Patton constructed the play which was
