WHERE THERMOMETER AS.
cENpED TO ss.3:

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Yesterday

VERY GOOD
THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE OF
FERs ANOTHER STRONG
BILL THIS WEEK.

The bill for the first half Of this
week at the Grand Opera House is
very strong. Last night good audi
ence was out to see the change of bill
and II the appreciation Of the acts
was to be judged by the applause they
received they went unusually well.
The Dalvines, advertised as the Ed
ropean court magicians, presenting
the "Floral Arch of Triumph" and
"The Drum That Cant Be Beat" dc
straight magic act which was q
revelation to a Fairmont audience
The Dalvines are exceedingly clever
artists, and the neatness with which
they do their work was pleasing in
the extreme. This team has just re
turned from the coast, where they
played all OF the leading cities.
Beecher and Maye furnished the
fun in last nights bill. This team pre-
sents an unusually clever burlesque
travesty entitled 1.-THE Tramp's Re
hearsal," and had the audience going
from the start to the finish OF their
long act.
Mrs. Blanche Hairs song, which II
always one OF the most pleasing tea,
lures OF the performance, was very
good, and the illustrations very bear
tiful.
The motion pictures were also good
and the first three nights Of this week
ought and no doubt will be winner
at the Grand.
This week the acts will be changed
on Thursday for the ones playing the
Swisher Tbeater at Morgantown tao
first half Of the week. This should
prove very popular, as it will give the
Grand an entire change Of bill twice
a week, and there are only few cities
in the country where vaudeville bill
is changed twice each week. S.

Long Walk For
A Young Cir
TRAMPEp FROM EAST LIVER.
POOL, PART OF DISTANCE
sAREFooTEo.

WHEELING, July 9.-Ida Judy q
girl Of is years, and William Barn
hardt, aged about 81, we're taken into
custody by the police Monday after
noon as they were about to enter the
city near Jonathan's Ravine. The de-
tention Of the couple was made in re
Spouse to a telephone message to Cap
tain Bennett at headquarters from a
lady residing in Glennova. The re
port received by the police was to the
effect that the man and girl had stop
ped at the informant's house tor
something to eat and for a drink Of
water, and the girl. who was barefoot
ed, and had badly lacerated feet, was
at subject for investigation and
charity.
According to the story told by the
girl to the police the two had walked
from East Liverpool, o., a distance Of
Sc miles, leaving there Sunday morn
ing, and she was on her way to st.
Aarys, this State where her father
was living.
The girl had been living at Easi
Liverpool with her stepmother, but
Incoming dissatisfied had left last
Saturday. Meeting Baruhardt, who ia
said tc be widower, and whose home
is near slstersville, he had taken her
to his room, giving her his bed, while
he slept in a chair. Leaving the
crockery City early Sunday morning
she crossed the riTst to the West Xlr
ginia side, followed by Barnhardt. The
two walked all day Sunday. but sue
ceedcd in getting sleeping accomno'
datlons that night from family nam
ed Smith, near wellsburg, she sleep
ing with the Smith children. When
the girl started on her tramp she was
wearing shoes that were much worn,
and finally gave way, after biistering
her feet In a very painful manner.
The story OF the man agrees with
thst OF the girl in all essentials, the
main difference being that the man
statad that the East Liverpool police
findl1g the two together in his Barn
hsrdt'sl room, ordered them out Of
town. although he had no designs upon
the girl. The girl denies that the po.
lice ordered them to leave East Liy'
erpool.
The man Barnhardt will be released
from custody and the board Of county
Commissioners will be asked to far
nish the girl with transportation To
st. Mary's.

HARD FIGHT TO
SAVE DyGEVORTH
.ATTMEPTs5 Will BE MADE TO
SHOW that couRr WAS HOS.
TILE TOWARD talAI. v

PARKERsBURG. July 8. Senator
n. A. Brown, chief counsel for s. G.
Duckworth, said yesterday that though
the record in the case had been con-
clpded and the bills Of exception salts
factorily settled and signed, it would
be some two weeks before the matter
Of an appeal could be submitted to
Judge Moss.
The reason for the delay is found IN
the fact that II will be necessary to
,tire record, and copy is
being made now. The bills as pre-:
sented and settled are underlined AMI
interwritten SO thoroughly as the re
suit Of changes made that it will be
necessary to reduce them to writing
in order to get them in pr
sentable shape.
A hard fight. will then be made to
save Duckworth. It is learned that
many things are relied upon to get a
reversal. and that the defense alleges
many fatal errors. including even al,
legged improper remarks by the court,
The defense will attempt to show by
the courts ruling and remarks that
the court was hostile to Duckworth
and in ruling was altogether too
friendly to the State to be fair and
impartial Judge. Whether this can be
substantiated or not remains to be
seen. Errors on instructions and the
admission or alleged lncompetency will
also figure. Provided Judge Moss does
not desire to pass on the case him
self he can merely grant an appeal
and 1t will be carried to the Supreme
Court. A stay Of execution was grant
ed Duckworth at the time Of sentence
until September 26, with a view Of
giving an opportunity of appeal to the
Supreme Court If necessary.

THE PRESIDENTS PLANS
Expected to Discuss Railroads IN
Speech at Jamestozcn.

Washington. March 30 - Unless something
happens which, in his opinion. makes it desirable
or necessary to do so it is probable that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not go TO Springfield to
address the Illinois manufacturers on the rail-
road question. in response TO the invitation ex-
tended to him early this week. II is certain
that. should he finally decide to go there for
that purpose. he will not be able to make the
trip for two three weeks. About that time.
on April 26, he is to deliver an address at the
opening Of the jamestown Exposition at which
he will have opportunity 10 say what he
desires to on the railroad subject. In conver-
satton with his callers reference has been made
by the President to that occasion as apprO-
pirate one on which he could speak OF the
matter which is uppermost in his mind at this
time, and the impression now is general that he
may avail himself of the opportunity.
The President has told those with whom he has
talked on the subject that he would like to go
to Springfield. BY some of his advisers he has
been urged to attend the convention, by others
not to go. and he said to-day TO one Of his
callers he had not yet fully made up his mind
on the subject. There is considerable public
business just now demanding his attention He
also is seeking knowledge Of the railroad situ-
alton from every point Of view. with view TO
forming definite opinion on the matter before
discussing it in a public speech
conferences are held almost daily Dy the
President with members Of his Cabinet, OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission and with rail-
road men and financiers. primarily with regard
to railroad matters and incidentally on the
financial situation. To-day he talked with Au-
gust Belmont and Jefferson NJ. Levy. Of New
York, and with Frank B. Kellogg, special coun-
sci Of the Interstate Commerce Commission. dur
ing which the railroad question was gone over
Again this afternoon there was a conference with
Secretaries Root and Cortelyou and Mr.. kellogg
The question of state rights is thought also
to be an important feature OF the discussions
which have been held by the President and his
advisers the treatment of the railroad sub
ject. Ii involves many perplexing problems. to
which careful consideration. the President feels
must be given before decision Is reached.
