The Elite Concert and Specialty company, of this city appeared at the opera houae in Andrews, on Monday evening and gave to a rather small audience one of the beat entertain men ta that had aver been witnessed by many of them or has been ever seen in larger eitiea.

There were fifteen numbers on the program and evert onmber was et cored from three to eight timea. Ahlsehwede and fladermann, the long and abort of it, had to respond to encores eight timea. The ampany made a drcided hit and miter the program was ended a large number cf Wabash engineers, fir men, ondvetora and brakemen rt mained in the hall and finally several of them mounted the stage and warmly congratulated the members of the company and tried to arrange a return date with the manager, offering to guarantee him a crowded house or a stipulated sum which would be well worth going for. It is probable that the company will play a return date in about three weeks. From a person who witnessed the performance we learn that the company is really meritorious, in fact far above the average of traveling organizations and it is said that a movement is on foot to arrange' for a performance in the opera house in this city in a few weeks.

The company has been handicapped by various circumstances. At Mt. Etna they did not appear because of the small attendance and at Andrews wrong report of the ability of the? company had gained circulation and this' to gather with the visit of another company from here interfered with the attendance, but the Andrews people who did see the company are clamorous to see It again and declare it equal to any company of the kind they have seen in Toledo or Tilton. We have not had the pleasure of see tag the company but we have seen the work of several of the mem bere and. we know and it is generally known in this city that Ahlsehwede A Hsdermann are musical geniuses and sin alone Ornish entertainment jr a whole evening.

William Lehman, the Baker, at Findlay, Ohio. Bis Aetloas May Be Kxplwiaed Ween He Betmms Bere Tnls The mysterious disappearance of William Lehman, the baker, is no longer a mystery.

He is at Findlay, Ohio. His housekeeper received a telegram from him shortly before dinner, which stated that he would ar rive here on the Wabash 8:57 o'clock train this evening. This was all the telegram stated. His actions are inexplicable by his friends, who think that he surely was suffering mental aberration when he went away in the manner he did, without sayinjr a word to anybody. r.

Lehman may give a satisfactory statement when he returns home.
