4 MOVEMENT STARTED
no PROVIDE WHEELING WITH PRO.
FESSIONAL BASE BALL
THIS SEASON.
STOCK BEING SUBSCRIBED
no a Company which VIII be Pre-
pared to Guarantee Sunday Games.
Letters Sent to Messrs. StrobeI and
Mantner Last NiEht-R0wIinE
Games Last Night-Other Sporting
Matters.

1t will be gratifying news to the
small army of base ball fans in
Wheeling that a movement has been
started, which has for its object the
formation of a joint stock company, to
secure an Interstate franchise, and
give Wheeling high class professional
base ball during the coming summer.
The Interstate managers put Wheeling
out Of the circuit last fall, but despite
their efforts to organize a league with
out this city, they will find it impcs-
sible, it is believed.
The situation at present is rather
chaotic. No definite plans have yet
been formulated, but it has all along
been understood that if Wheeling could
guarantee Sunday games, the League
would be not only willing, but eager
TO embrace this city in the circuit for
the coming summer.
The movement here has merely
lacked a head. Yesterday that was
supplied. Mr.. Chas. Kreuger, manager
of the Park Hotel, yesterday took the
initiative, and in the afternoon made a
canvass OF the city with a view to
a~scertaining how much money could
he raised for the purpose of backing
a base ball enterprise in Wheeling.
MIR. Kreuger secured subscriptions to
the amount of 81, 100, and feels certain
that with another day he could raise
the total to $500 or $4,000. Either
sum would be ample.
Last night Mr.. Kreuger addressed
letters to Mr.. Chas. ]. Stroebel, of To-
ledo, and Mr.. Mantner, of Fort Wayne,
notifying them of the action already
taken, and asking for information con-
corning the probability of Wheeling
securing an Interstate franchise. If
the reply be favorable, a meeting Of
the subscribers will be called, for the
purpose OF effecting an organization,
and steps will be taken toward signing
a team for the coming season.
Mr.. Kreuger will continue his can
yass to-day, and will doubtless receive
the proper encouragement from lovers
of the game.

OF friends and was one OF the foremost
citizens. having represented his ward
several times in Council. He always
took an active part in the interests OF
the city. He was an active and on

terian church, and was also a member
of Ionic lodge of Masons. He leaves a
widow. four sons and FIVE daughters,
being William, Jr., Ross, Norman and
Charles, and Misses Emma, Fannie

al arrangements had not been made

The williams Grounded.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 26.-
While attempting to get the steamer
City of Pittsburg off a stranded bar
at Shawneetown, H., on the lower
Ohio river, the %Pittsburg towboat Jo-
seph B. Williams, one of the best
afloat, grounded Sunday and is still
stuck fast in the sand. The fact that
the Williams met with an accident,
while assisting another boat, makes
the affair aggrayating, for the City of
Pittsburg was f1oated and the Williams
was left or a bar.
There is not the least bit of danger
to the steamer, however, as she lies
straight and will only have to rest on
the bottom OF the river until a rise
comes along and floats her off, which
will occur, it is thought. in a few
DAYS.

Rivermcn object to Plans.

The board of United States engi-
neers appointed to take testimony
bearing on the erection of the propos-
ed bridge, to span the Ohio river at
Ironton, o., will meet at that place at
4:3O p. M, March I, 1901. The bridge
company wants to erect a structure
having a 650-foot channel span. The
rivermen will object to it. lronton is
n Of the worst places on the Ohio
river for smoke. Capt. Peter Boil, a
well konwn pilot, said to-day, that an
S00-foot channel span should be erect
ed. Some time ago the same company
asked permission TO build a bridge
there and wanted to erect a 500-foot
span, but the river interests and engi-
neers insisted on an S00-foot span.
Capt. John +. bravo, of the PittsburS
Coal Exchange, says that there will be
no compromise on the matter, as far
as the river interests are concerned.

."The Power Behind the Throne"

..The Power Dehind the
Seldom has such a degree of enthu-
snasm been manifested by a Wheeling
audience as was displayed last even
ing at the Opera House during the
production of The Power Behind the
Throne" by Mildred Holland and a
capable supporting company. Wheel
ing theatre goers do not take kindly
to a new star or a new play, and last
night was not an exception to the
rule in so far as attendance is con-
cerned, but the audience made up in
evidence of appreciation what was
lacking in numbers. The play Is n
of the strongest dramas presented on
the Opera House stage this season,
and it is embellished with a scenic in
vestiture which leaves nothing lacking
to give the performance the touch OF
realism which is essential to a finished
artistic production. There were a
number of most insistent curtain calls,
and the talented star was accorded a
genuine ovation. The Power Behind
the Throne" will be repeated this
afternoon and evening, and will doubt
less be witnessed by the crowded
houses which it merits.
