The exclusive publication In yester uujr o .iiibuiuKviiver ui me uau iuck. 01 a number o? Wheeling people In having a large sum, suld to be $35,000,wiped out through the failure of Broker Erastus E. Ford, of New York, and the probability that the money would be lost, was read with the greatest Interest by Wheeling people, and those who had declined to become impressed by the broker's- smooth talk last spring and consequently did not invest in this twoper-efcnt-per-month scheme were not slow in congratulating themselves upon a. lucky ..escape. A gentleman who invested a considerable sum with Ford two or three years ago, when his spcculatlon-by-machinery Idea was first sprung, in the course of a talk with the Intelligencer last evening said: No Intention to Defraud. "I do not believe that Ford at any time Intended to defraud us. I base this impression upon the fact that after the death of his brother and when bis business became involved, he sent back to a Wheeling man a check for $1,000 that had been forwarded for investment In stocks. Had he intended to do us up he would have retained that money. "The amount lost by Wheeling people ?If it is lost?is not, I believe, as large as the Intelligencer stated by several thousand dollars. There were not more than eight or ten from Wheeling in the syndicate, and although I do not know ivhat each Invested, I believe the imount will not reach $35,000. Capt. Devoro Investigated. "Captain D. B. Devord, of the regular trmy, who was for several years prolessor of mathematics at "West Foint Vlllitary Academy, was.among the first ,o Investigate Ford's machine, and he Irmly believed in it, and gave Ford a etter of endorsement which the latter iscd In London, where he took the rna:hine and where it received a favorable eception. The captain also invested some money in stocks through Ford, md the latter by reason of the captain's indorsement paid him three per cent a nonth on his investment for a long ;ime. Both Captain Devore and several lere in Wheeling who invested at the jtart have received in profits more than vas originally invested. Here in Shoeing we all received two per cent a nontfr until tlie break-up last April, vhen Ford's brother died and it devel>ped that he had-been speculating unsuccessfully on the side with the firm's noncy. The Machine Tested. "The machine was on'exhibltion in tlie Stevens' Institute of Technology in New York for some time, and received the endorsement of the school authorities. It was given a three months' tent it the school, running ten stocks, and )f these it paid 250 per cent on nine stocks, and lost but twelve per cent on ane. "Ford's father-in-law is a New York millionaire named Bogard, I believe, and wo vxjhct ultimately to ?frcure the return of the principal we invested. He and his father-in-law, however, have not been on good terms for s*>n\* years. Mr. Bogard, as I understand It, hrul no faith in Ford's invention, and objected to him using up so much time ou the perfecting of the machine while In his ?mploy." Funeral of Levi Backer. The last sad rites over the remains of Levi Bacher were conducted at his late residence Monday, r.t p. in. Mr. Bacher was a defender of the Union, and his death was the result of disease contracted while serving the country, l'he G. A. 11. and Odd Fellows attended Lhc funeral in a body. Flowers In profusion were contributed by the many sympathizing friends, showing the esteem In which the deceased was hold. lours A CELICATE MV?iOAL INSTRUMENT In food condition she is sweet and lovable, and sinrs life's aong on a Joyful harmonious string.

It 13 a song cycle for soprano; contralto, tenor and bnss, which I will be preceded by an Interesting miscellaneous concert programme, which Is appended In full. All the performers ' stand Jn the first rank of concert singers of Pittsburgh and have given the greatest pleasure by their artistic solo and ensemble work wherever heard. The company has been on the road all season and the most flattering testimonials have antedated their arrival In this city.

The guarantors were fortunate In being able to secure their s-^ats n yesterday, and this morning the general ^ sale begins at !> o'clock at Baumer's g music store. Of the artistic exccllence t( of the programme there can bo no doubt and It Is generally expected that Wheeling music lovers will do thim- ei selves proud on this occasion and give y Victor Herbert and his great organ-za- tl tlon a rousing welcome. tl The wedding of Miss Laura Frew and ^ Mr. Charles Edward .Tones will be cele- ^ brated at the home of Mrs. Ann ElTza- ^ beth Frew, North Main street, to-mor- ^ row afternoon at 5 o'clock, in the prcs- ? ence of a large assembly of friends A reception will follow later. The conccrt given by fho "Woman's ^ Musical Club last evening, In the A. O. ^ U. "W. temple was attended by an en- u thusiastic and large audience. The p performers were from the best talent ^ of the organisation and acquitted them- a selves with distinction. The piano work throughout was splendidly done. Miss *Gertrude McConnaughey and Mis3 c Edith M. Maskery, won the immediate recognition of the audience, as worthy of the trust imposed in allotting them the place as soloists. Their playing was 0 line both In touch and interpretation. a The chief accompany %vorlc was done 0 by Miss Emily Ray Pollock, whose rep- 0 utation as a pianist in this city is established, and her playing: Inst evening P was noteworthy. The duet sung by P Mrs. Frederic F. Faris and Miss Flora 1 PhfoJ, and delightfully supported by r Mias Pollock and TMiss Emma Roy- n mann, was one of the features of the E evening, being beautifully rendered In ^ both parts. The voices were never heard 1 to better advantage. Other ensemoie P work were three choral numbers, with n Mrs. F. Harry Travis and Mrs. Herbert ti M. Riheldaffer, taking solo parts, and a a quartet by Misses Alice Egerter, Fan- t! nie Petrie, Martha Ott and Elizabeth J' McLain. All were difficult selections P and creditably given. The vocal sMo- b ists were Mrs. Herbert M. Rlheldaffer, o who, in singing the Jowel Song from o "Faust," showed the purity and beauty s of her voice to perfection. Miss Marga- h ret Harvey was heard In two beautiful songs admirably adapted to show the unusual depth and grandeur of her voice. The concert was up to the stand- t ard of the club, and thoroughly appreciated throughout.

It is specifically provided that the L lection of fire chief shall occur at the neetlng of council on the fourth Tueslay of the month of December?as the ourth Tuesday of December this year alls on the 25th, Fire Chief R. D. Cllne (/111 rcelve a very substantial and aceptablo Christmas present. Mr. Cllne, vho has made a fine record in this poslion, has no opposition for re-election. The council committee on claims was o have met last nlglit, but in the abence of a quorum, the meeting was _ ostponed until to-night Just before *~ ouncil assembles. & C. D. Kyle, the Second ward feed store rs lan, has donated several tine cuspa- g ores to the boya at the Vigilant en- ? Ine house, for which they desire to ex- S ?nd a "vote of thanks. ? "Old Bill," the fire department's ret- t ran horse, which has seen eighteen ears continuous service, and is now at le Eighth ward engine house, is on le siclc list, and It is feared that he 'III not recover. "Old Bill" Is about wenty-four years old and has "seen etter days." Yesterday it was reportd that he would not eat or drink, but j 'eterinary Reefer hopes to pull the old faithful" through. It was reported to the fire committee tst night that the appropriation for tie year will not be entirely exhausted nless thcr should arise unforeseen ex- E endltures before the end of the month. j[ 'his is an indication of the economical nd careful administration of the afiiirs of the department by Chief Cllne, Jhairraao Baird, Clerk Nolte and the omrnittec. "A Night of Mystery." ~ On Saturday night Mr. H. W. Rogers, B C this city, will give an entertainment t the Opera House which will consist f revelations concerning the supposed, ccultlsm of performers who go about ho country Imposing on credulous peo<lc, by claiming the aid of spirits In resenting features of a mystical naure. It is these deceptions that Mr. togers will expose imd render the most lyamyuiK tricKs as plain as daylight. Ie has nothing to do with offending the elievcr in spiritualism, but shows up he fakir who claime to have esoteric ower to work his wonders, and who lasquerades before the public under lie cloak of this belief. The perform- i nee given by Mr. Rogers will bo for Jr he benefit of the City Hospital, an obict that commends Itself highly to the atronage of the public. Tickets have een rlaced at fifty cents to all parts f the house, and are now in the hands f the board of managers, and a ticket ale at the box olllce will be opened iter. In Clerk Robertson's Ofilco.
