In answer to further questions, Mr..

THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL
GIVEN AT WHEELING PARK CASINO
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING
BY NEW CASTLE GLEE. SOCIETY.
Proved One of the Most Excellent
and Pleasing Musical Entertain
ments Ever Given in This City.
The Work of the ChOruses and
the SoIOists.

The afternoon and evening concerts
at the Park Casino yesterday were a
rare treat for lovers of music. The
affair was a musical festival by the
New Castle Glee Society, a Welsh or
ganization.
The crowd at the afternoon session
was not nearly so large as the enter
tainment warranted.
In the evening the crowd was enorm-
GUS, a great portion being of Welsh ma
tionality. Mrs. Caste E. Jones and Mrs.
E. Williams, the sopranos, were both
performers of talent.
The work of the choruses was mag
nificent, but not as strong as might
have been. The chorus number about
fifty voices.
The work of the Glee Club was very
fine, but owing to the large building
there was not enough volume.
The bass soloist, Mr.. John Taraulois
Thomas, singing was revelation.
One of the tenors, Mr.. David Lloyd,
has as fine a voice as was ever heard
in this city.

Mr.. j. Nelson vancexmafle chairman.
and Mr.. VIII Gutmen,, secretary.
The d1rst speaker was Gen. Alfred
Caldwell, who calieff attention to the
Importance Of the project land pointed
out the danger thatsifsthe- commissions
er's ordinance is aElowe6Sto drift for
itself, the probabil Is that it will be
defeated He referred to the ill-ad-
vised action taken by the Trades As
sembly, and ftseffectsup0n the working
classes. The point that he made was
that those who felt the importance Of
the new railway, should, interest them
selves to the extent~of taking an ac-
tive part in the election, and endeavor-
ing to get out all the votes favorable
to the ordinance.
He said the gentlement present could
well afford to get out'sand work for the
ordinance. The city-can't stop. Like
nations, cities must go on. 1t is
necessary to show more than the mere
preponderance of births over deaths, to
induce people to come here. Mr.. Cald-
well discussed the Terminal, and pre-
sented some facts.to demopstrate the
fallacy of the argument that the county
made an unwise and Improbable in
Vestment in that enterprise.
Continuing, Gen., Caldwell referred to
the fact that Wheeling,s public-spirited
citizens-those who are alive to her
needs-have long been talking of the
essential link to complete her indus
trial chain-a railroad giving direct
connection with the Pennsylvania coke
fields. He dwelt upon the difficulty
of constructing railroads in. the State
of Pennsylvania, where the laws place
a barrier against new railroad enter
prises. Therefore it has been impos-
sfble to enlist sufficient capital to con-
struct the proposed railroad indepen-
dent of county assistance. Happily for
this city that condition of affairs no
longer exists. The men and the capital
are here, and it is a small thing to ask
for a subscription of 100000 to enable
them and their money to construct a
railroad which is to be of more benefit
to Wheeling than to any other COM
munity along. the line of the proposed
road.
Replying to the argument that man
ufacturers should take the stock, Gen.
Caldwell said it was a remarkable con-
