Regularly Upon All Roads Out of
Wheeling-Freight Being Receiv-
ed.
Practically all of the damage done by
the flood to the railroads entering
Wheeling has been repaired The fin
ancial loss is comparatively light, and
much smaller than the loss which is
represented by the temporary suspen-
sion of operation.
The B. & o. was in good shape with
the exception of the Hempfield divi-
sion. The track has been cleared be-
tween Wheeling and Pittsburg, and
trains were running regularly yester-
day, and will continue to do so.
On the Ohio River road there were
heavy slips at the ''narrows" above and
below Moundsville, and the rails were
submerged at many points. The tracks
have been cleared, and the receding wa
ters left the rails above the surface.
Trains were running yesterday.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie did not
suffer as much damage as was at first
supposed. The trestle at Warrenton
was thrown little out of line, but was
repaired yesterday At other points the
tracks were submerged. The 4:50
O'Clock train for Toledo departed yes
terday afternoon on time, and was the
first regular passenger train to go
through since Sunday
Trains upon all these roads will be
running regularly to-day. Freight is
being received from all points upon all
roads.

MUSICAL.

The Plttsburg Orchestra, Victor Her.
bert conductor with Nine. Bloomfield
Zeisler, pianiste, was greeted at the
Opera House last night by a large and
critical audience of lovers of what is
best in music, and the enthusiasm dis
played showed appreciation of the
magnificent work done. Artistically
and financially, the concert was sucr
cess, and Sig Ricardo Ricci is deserv-
ing of commentator for bringing this
notable aggregation of talent to
Wheeling. Last evening, after the
close of the programme, Mr.. Ricci ex-
pressed himself as abundantly salts
fed at the result, and talked confident
ly and enthusiastically Of another en-
gagement in the near future.
The scene within the building dur
ing the concert was a brilliant one.
Most OF the gentlemen were in even
ing clothes, while the ladies had deck
ed themselves in their finest raiment
The appearance of the orchestra was
the signal for welcoming applause, and
each number, as it was rendered, was
demonstratively approved.
The Jubilee" overture and the allie
gretto movement from the Beethoven
symphony, No. Z, in A major
were magnificently interpreted.
and then Nine. Zeisler, the
opening number was the Grieg
concerto, op. 16. allegro motto moder-
alto, adagio, and allegro moderate mol
to marcato, with orchestral accompani-
ment. and at the close of most artis-
tic recital the demands of the audience
for an encore were graciously respond
ed to with Mendelssohn's Spinning
Song" rendered with the utmost care.
The numbers from Die Meister-
singer" were happily interpreted by
the orchestra, and for an encore Vic
tor Herbert's arrangement of Nevins
"Narcissus,' for strings, was given.
After the two movements from the
Suite Romantique (Herbert), opening
the second part, the audience again de-
manded something more than appeared
on the programme, and the conductor
obligingly responded with one of his
own compositions, "Punchinello." Nine.
Zeisler received another ovation at
the conclusion OF her second numbers,
(a) Gazelle (Herbert; (b) La Co
quette (Herbert), and Co Man leby
nur einmal" (Strauss- Taussig), and
for an encore gave a Valse caprice,
by Moskowski, with brilliant success.
The remainder of the programme
was in keeping with the numbers de-
tailed above, and the applause follow
ing the closing notes OF the last num-
Der, the Festival Dance and Waltz OF
the Hours" (Delibes), showed that
those present were still perfectly CON
tent to listen to something else.
The concert was one OF the most no.
table musical events recently taking
plsce in this city. and the success
achieved renders it certain that this
combination of artists will be heard

VALUABLE MEADOW GRASSES.

Slender wheat grass is one of the
native western grasses which has al
ready been introduced into cultiva-
ton and has proved successful in the
east as well as the west.
Side oats grama is q very highly
priced native species, providing a
great amount of pasturage as well as
hay, especially throughout the high
plains from Dakota southwark.
Native blue grass is one of the very
valuable range and meadow grasses
of the western slope of the Rockies,
which gives promise of great value for
cultivation in soils which are too dry
to grow Kentucky blue grass success
fully.
From the few trials already made
with sprangle top grass, it seems
probable that it will prove a very val
liable addition to the meadow grasses
of the south and southwest. 1t pro-
duces with comparatively small
amount of moisture a heavy crop OF
excellent hay.
Mamma grass is particularly apun'
dant and thrifty in very wet meadows
or about sloughs and along streams
producing great bulk of fairly good
