Food In the pen"
H. Livingstone, who was yesterday
released from the State prison at
Moundsville, makes grave charges con-
corning the conduct Of the p~enitentiary
at Moundsville. He was sent up from
st. Marys for twenty months, for rob-
berry. Livingstone's allegations are
given for what they are worth. He
charges that fayoritigm is shown. and
that with few exceptions, all the con
yicts are given insufficient food, and
that brutal punishment is inflicted. He
said the convicts received beef on the
occasion Of the visit Of the legislative
committee, for the first time In eight
months.
With reference TO the punishment IN
fiicted. Livingstone alleges that trivial
ofenses cause conviets to be bucked and
gagged. or Iashed with a heavy whip.

punished. They are privileged to APP

1.-TWO Jolly Rovers" is the title of a
new farce in which John f. Leonard.
late of "Hogan's Alley" exploits his
ability as a creator OF wholesome fun.
He has associated with himself, in the
person Of Sherman Wade. an equally
clever d%elineator of Irish character. The
farce witnessed its initial presentation
here. at the Grand last night, and there
was a crowded house to greet the old
favorites in the cast. The humor OF
Leonard and Wade gave a merry sig
n~ifcance to the title Of the piece. Prom
inent in the supporting company Is
Maize King, who is the very embodi-
ment Of grace in her beautiful dances.
Miss Alice Gilmore's comedy was ire
sistibly funny, and her specialties were
applauded to the echo. The piece has
a champagne sparkle to it, and the ac-
compartment of pretty girls. and the
Jingle of popular tunes makes it the
most attractive farce which has been
presented in Wheeling this season.
1.-TWO Jolly Rovers' will be on the
boards during the remainder OF the
week.

ons on Zane street. Island. near the
