THE TARIFF BUOABOO.

Tbe Deaaoerate la tbc Honse Sadly Perplexed. "WASHINGTON, D. C., January 26.—

The tariff still bothers the heads of the members of the committee on ways and means. Mr. Morrison, who is generally outspoken on all subjects, cannot be interviewed on the subject, save to assume that a bill will soon be reported. What the nature of it will be Mr. Morrison does not venture to nay. Mr, Hurd said to-day a bill would be reported in the next ten days, "and on that bill," added Mr. Hard, "we will sit till next August." fie says his efforts will be to get as n«ar his ideas as possible by getting as many articles on the free list as can be got. The struggle in the ways and means committee will be between Morrison, Hewitt and Hurd. Mr. Hewitt says the matter has not yet been discussed, but each member is working on it for himself. In regard to the Morrison scheme he says: "If Mr. Morrison presents such a bill he will have to prove its effectiveness before it would receive the sanction of the committee. I can't my but a horizontal reduction of twenty per cent, might not reduce the revenue. Our first duty is to reduce the income and get rid of the immense redundant revenue. Such a horisontal reduction might not do this. It might even, by increasing the importations, increase the revenue. As I look at it, I think a 20-per cent reduction would really not reduce the present revenue more than 5 per cent. But the question is a very important one and must be duly considered. All theories must be supported by proof. Legislation must cot be merely experimental,"

THE COUNTRY'S BUSINESS.

A Noticeable Improvement—Failures.

Nsw YORK, N. Y., January 26.— The improvement in the condition of general trade, according to advices to Bradstreet's, as evinced in the increased movement of merchandise and in more firmness in prices mentioned a week ago, has since been maintained. The greatest activity noted has been at New York and Chicago. From Boston word comes of a belter distribution, though there, as elsewhere, the increased sales have thus far been almost exclusively for immediate wants rather than to anticipate future requirements. There have also been heavier shipments froirt Philadelphia, but at Baltimore Co evidences yet appear of ihe approach cf spring trade. The movement at Cincinnati and at Milwaukee has been affected by the weather, and at Cleveland the record iB much the same as at Baltimore. The Minnesota cities were among those doing an average amount of business, and Kansas City will easily rank with them. At St. Louis general trade, while not especially active, is quite up to the average at this seaBon of the year. The increased firmness in iron noted at the east and west and south of Ohio is maintained.

There 310 failures in the United States reported to Bradstreets during the last week—eleven less than the preceding week, twenty-one more than the corresponding week of 1883, and 105 more than the Bame week in 1882. About 80 per cent, were sailures of small traders whose average capital was less than $5,000. Canada and the provinces had thirty-eight—a decrease of four.

STATE PRISON BURNED.

Destruction of the .Minneapolis Penitentiary ai Stillwater—Ion, 9000,000. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., January 26.—

Early this morning fire broke out in the state prison at Stillwater, and in spite of all efforts all the buildings were destroyed. All the prisoners, including the Younger brothers, were taken out and placed under a strong guard in the yard. The loss probably, is half a million dollars.

The fire caught in the basement of the state penitential at 11:45 last night. It was first discovered by a pedestrian, who failed to attract the attention of the guards, and ran down town and turned in an alarm. The fire caught under the main office of the car company, and when the depertment arrived it was impossible to do any effective work on account of the dense smoke. At 1 o'clock it became evident, that the prison in the rear of the office was doomed, and Company K., of the state militia, was called to assist in removing the convicts, about 300 in all, who were shackled together by means of long fine chains, and removed to different parts of the prison ground. How the fire started is a mystery. The loss is about $500,000 all owned by the state was partially covered by insurance. When the fire started, Chief Joey, of Stillwater, went into the burning structure and had a narrow escape from death.

A fortunate feature consists is saving all the documents and personal papers and letters of Senator Sabin, president of tho car company.

The fire was marked by an act of great heroism by George P. Dodd, of Stillwater county, who rescued a convict left in his cell, at the risk of his own life.

CINCINNATI, O., January 26.—Fire at Xenia, this morning, burned the Union block, containing three stories. The building and stocks in stores are a total loss. Loss estimated at $65,009. William Powers had his skull crushed by a falling brick.

Orrtn A. C&tftenter—The Grand Jury fioli the Lincoln Merchant on Fire Counts for the Murder ot Zora Burns—

The Accused la Committed to tTall. Special to the Chicago tiaily News. LINCOLK, til., Jannajy 25.—The

graftd jury completed its work in the Zora Burns murder case this afternoon by finding a true bill against. Orrin A. Carpenter. Carpenter was cheerful, hopeful, and seemingly happy until his counsel took him from his office and delivered him to the court. The arraignment is long, and consists of four or five counts. After it was read Judge Herdman asked: "Has the defense been furnished with a copy of the indictment?" The answer was in the negative.

The court then frilled that the defense should be furnished with a copy before the prisoner could be arraigned. This brought Mr. Beach, one of the prisoner's counsel, to the front. He argued that inasmuch as Carpenter bad given a bond in the sum of $10,000 for Bis appearance to answer the indictment, he should be allowed his liberty until the time of arraignment He was not yet a prisoner, and no capias or bench warrant could properly be issued for his arrest.

The judge said that the grand jury had examined the case thoroughly ana found the presumption of evidence great, and With much emphasis, to the amazement of the crowd in the court, he declared that Carpenter had been held for murder, and that the court could not and would not let him out on bail. The sheriff was then ordered to take hitn to jail. At this Carpenter grew nervous, and when he left the room appeared crestfallen.

The state's attorney will insist upon having his trial during this term of court, and the defense say that if they can get ready they are willing and anxiouB it should be had, but Under no circumstances will they consent to having their client tried before Judge Herdman. They will apply for a change of venue.

The indictment bears the names of sixty witnesses, among them being Dr. W. T. Belfield. of Chicago, Who placed the two hairpins found in Carpenter's buggy and the one in Zora's pocket under & powerful microscope yesterday* and who claims that the ones found in the buggy and those bought in St. Elmo Dy the Btate's attorney some time ago were of the same manufacture. HiB testimony is regarded as Very strong and* damaging.

Carpenter will be arraigned next Tuesday morning.

Hadn't Eaten Any Thing for Sixty Tears. Special Dispatch to the Enquirer. GKEENCASTLE, Ind., January 25.—

John F. Jones, or "Uncle Jacky," as he was more familiarly called, died in this city yesterday, in the eighty-fifth year of his age. He was widely known to the traveling public of this and adjoining states, having kept a hotel here and also at Columbus, Ind.,' during the greater part of his life. When a boy, he drank through mistake a decoction of lye,which caused a contraction of the gullet, and: prevented his taking food in any other than a liquid form. Even that was attended with difficulty, and he succeeded in forcing it down his Bhroat by external means, for over sixty years, though a Boniface himself for a greater part of the time, he had not eaten a mouthful of food, a statement which his guests were not disposed to credit without an explanation. Despite his affliction, which wore supplemented by the most acute attack of hernia, he had an inexhaustible vein of humor in his composition, which found vent in numerous "jokes and jibes that were wont to set the table in a roar." His remains were taken to Columbus, Ind., for interment. The Charges Against Governor Hurray.

SALT LAKE, Utah, January 26.— In an interview this afternoon Gov. Murray says no charges were even filed in the department of justice when he was marshal of Kentucky, years ago that the conspiracy to defame him is now well understood here and in Wathington. Mormon agents from Salt Lake and their allies, and paid attornys' at Washington and New York, are making a determined effort to destroy his usefulness. Gov. Murray sent tho following dispatch to Chairman Springer this afternoon: The lion. TPm. M. Sprtngtr, WathCngto*.

The Mormon press and church are jubilant over the special dispatches sent from Washington by Elder Cane, the Mormon delegate from Utah, announcing the discovery of these pretended charges against Governor Murray. Every effott is being made by the Mormons to get the governor out of the way.

PHILDELPIIIA, Penn., January 35.— The court refused to grant the injunction of the Bell Telephone company against the Oreland company. It was thought the injunction would be granted and tbe stock of the Bell company went up six points from 176. When the courts decision was announced the stock fell to 145, a drop of thirty-one in twenty minutes. The decision here was made as it was because a case is now pending in New York that will decide the whole dispute.

Sold His Little Girl.

ERIE, Pa., January 25.—This afternoon Leroy Warner, of Cosy^ut township, presented a bill o. ^e to the court for confirmation. The article of sale was his little daughter Maggie, in whom he has sold all right, title, and interest to Peter J. Wild, of this city, for the consideration of $1. The transfer had been made in good faith, both parties believing that the transaction was perfectly legitimate. The application was refused by the court.

Lynch the Negroes of Course. CHARLESTON, Wv Ya., January 26.—

Last night while'Job nMassey and Wm. Jones were walking on the railroad track near Coal Valley, Massey, w^o was drunk, called to a negro woman in front to stop. She refused and Jones fired at her, the ball striking the heel of her shoe. Four negroes emerged from a cabin, and fired on Massey and Jonos, fatally wounding Massey who died this morning. There is .strong talk of lynching the negroes.

A CURIOUS MARRIAGE.

Fred Douglass, the WeU-Known Colored Leader, Marries a White WomanFriends and Relatives Greatly Surprised on Being Informed of the

Event.

Special Telegram to the Inter-Ocean. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 24.— The Hon. Frederick Douglass, the negro orator, entered the clerk's office in the City Hall this afternoon in a hurried and Bomewhat flurried manner. He glanced furtively around, and after bowing to the clerk, drew the chief clerk aside and a whispered conversation followed. The clerk then took the the marriage license book, and after filling out one of the blanks handed Mr. Douglass a certificate. Mr. Douglass took it, and after paying the dollar fee looked abotlt him Sheepishly and went out. The last blank was filled out with the names of "Fredrick Douglass, of Washington, and Helen Pitts, of New York." It took but a few minutes to circulate the news. When Mr. Douglass secured the license he enjoined the strictest secrecy, and asked that it be kept from the recorder's office. A reporter was the first to disclose the information in that office, and Mr. Douglass' daughter, wh« who is employed there, was visibly affected when told of it,

After seeuring the license, Mr. Douglass immediately repaired to his home in Anacostia. A reporter called on MisB Helen Pitts, at 913 E street, N. W. After submitting to persistent questioning for a while, ahe admitted that she #as to be married to Mr. Douglass. Sho refused to Bay when and whefe, ot to answer any further questions. She is a white lady, and has been employed as a copyist in Mr. Douglass' office. She is petite in figure, with dark eyes and hair, and is about thirty-six yeary of age. She is quite pretty. When Mr. Douglass returned to the city he went to the house of a friend and remained there until after six o'clock, when he sent for a carriage and drove to the residence of Miss Pitts. They were then driven to the residence of the Bev. Francis Grimke, No. 1608 street, northwest. They entered the parsonage and were married by Mr. Grimke, two members of the household acting as witnesses. During the ceremony Miss Pitts retained a composure of mien that showed steady nerve, and her answers were clear and distinct. On conclusion of the ceremony and after the hearty congratulations of Dr. Grimke and family, the* "grand old man" and his bride again entered the carriage, man and wife. They went to the house on E street, where Mrs. Douglass received the congratulations of her friends. It was while Mr. Douglass was standing on the steps that your representative approached him and extended his congratulations. The face of the distinguished bridegroom wore a benign and comfortable smile, and he shook the reporter's hand with a hearty grip. Wnen asked about his marriage he admitted that for the second time he had taken unto himself a wife. He gave the reporter all the information he could in good spirit. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass were the recipients of many congratulations.

Early in the evening the carriage was driven to AnacoBtia, and Mrs. Douglass was introduced into Mr. Douglass' family. The first introductions were made with some embarrassment, but in a short time they disappeared and an elegant suppear was pleasantly discussed. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass will probably leave for an extended tour of the north to-morrow.. Thfe marriage, as might have been anticipated, created considerable surprise.

The family of Mr. Douglass knew nothing about it until this evening and his courtship was conducted with strict secrecy. The lady has no relatives in this city, but has resided here for a number of years. She came originally from Troy, N. Y., and made the acquaintance of Mr. Douglass about a year ago. She is a lady of education and is possessed of charming mannerB. Mr. Douglas has been a widower for a few years past. He has four children living, three boys and a girl. He is 73 years of age. From Another Special.

Of the lady Lerself, she is quite accomplished, being thoroughly trained in English, and polished in the art of music, painting and plaque work. She said to a reporter to-day that she didn't care the snap of her finger what the world or her family thought about it. She considered Mr. Douglass the most distinguished man of his race in ancient or modern times, and looked upon it as an honor to be his wife. Besides this, she loved him as trully as woman ever loved a man.

In spite of this poetic declaration it is charged that the lady has been influenced to a great length by mercena ry considerations, her liege lord having settled upon her as a marriage portion $20,000 in government bonds, with a promise that he would make her his chief heir in case he died first. The accuracy of this statement, however, is left to conjecture. The sons and daughter of old Fred, however, assert that their father has been unduly influenced, and they are foremost in denouncing the marriage.

INDIANA AT THE CAPITAL.

Bepubllcans Hopeful—Mr. News' Resignation—Senator Hawley's Opinion. Special to the Indianapolis Times.

A trio of Hoosiers (Harrison, Peelle and Overmyer) at Willard's, to-night, were discussing Indiana politics, and all agreed that the next state convention would be a perfectly harmonious one, and that the candidate for governor would be elected, as well as a majority of the congressional delegation.

The report of Mr. New's resignation is variously commented on here to-day. While many regrets were expressed at the rumor of his determination to quit Washington, no one seemed to doubt that he had resigned. It is generally believed that as soon as the president returns the resignation will be officially made known. Candidates for the position areas thick as bees. Ex-Gov-ernor McCook, of Colorado, is said to have an eye on the office.

Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, the new chairman of* the Republican congressional campaign committee, stated to the correspondent of the Times tonight that he had no doubt whatever of electing next fall a majority of the next house. He says the most perfect organization throughout the country will at once be effected, and each member of the committee will give his individual attention to the good work of reclaiming the lost district Speaking of Indiana, the senator said that Republican members would be sent here instead of Lamb, Wood and Kleiner. Of the districts represented and the two former members he thought there could be no excuse sufficient for the election of Democrats.

THEY CAN'T BE HONEST.

Ladles Who are Kleptomaniacs—Daily Pilfering Done by High-Toned Women Whose Position and Wealth*Entitle

Them to Exemption From the Law's Penalty.

Chicago News. A lady stepped out of a carriage and entered one of the largest dry good stores on

State

btreetj north of Madi­

son, yesterday afternoon. She wore a black satin dress, a fur-lined circular, silver-gray bonnet and a small, but genuine, diamond ear-rings. She had the bearing of a lady and a refined and sensitive face.

The usher who met her was requested in a polite way to show her to the no* tion counter. Here she bought a spool of white cotton, two hat pins, a set of garter clasps and a dress braid, the whole bill amounting to 28 cents. While the girl who sold her the goods was making out the check she got into conversation about clerking, and by the time she was ready to go they were the best kind of friends, "Be kind enough to send my purchases to the lace counter," she said on departing, and was soon seated before a black velvet mat, on which were several hundred dollars' worth of thread lace. She was very profuse in her admiration, and asked several times for varieties which she knew were not in stock. The clerk in charge was more suspicious than is usually the case, and whenever he wanted another box he gathered up the whole display, velvet and lace, put them on the box-shell, and went after the goods in demand. "Well, I am not satisfied with your selection, and I think I'll look elsewhere before buying. Have the kindness to send my goods to the hoisery department.

She took a seat before a row of willow baskets that were filled with stockings ranging in prices from 25 cents to $1.50 each. "I should like to see some cashmere stocking, fast colors, full regular, in black." :.v, "Whatsize?" "Oh," 8$ if they shrink, or 8 if the dye is pure."

She looked at goods worth $1.75 a pair, and noticing some pink silk hose which were about three yards from where sha.sat, asked to see theniv" The young girl went to get them, and during her absence, which was only momentarily, she glanced round the department, and, supposing all was favorable, slipped a pair of navy-blue stockings, worth a trifle less than $2, under her circular, and was in readiness to examine the silk beauties when placed before her. "Oh, those are lovely! but American, are they not? I thought so. Well, I can't say that I think much of Uncle Sam's silk stockings they are strong and durable enough, but the •ilk is lustreless, and after the first washing has no more gloBB than a cotton rag." "Well, lean give you imported stockings at $5." "No I have changed my mind, as all fickle people do, and will not invest today. However, I am obliged for your attention, and will add my thanks if you will have that paltry collection of goods sent to the ribbon counter."

She passed down the length of the store intending to make the circuit en route for the ribbons, which were not far from the door. One of the floor managers who evidently had met her before, overtook her, and with a "pardon me, madam," stopped her near the office. "If you have no objections I will make out a check for the stockings you have under your cloak and have them wrapped up," he said.

Of course, she feigned astonishment, and actually blushed with indignation. "I don't want to put my hand under a lady'scloak, but if you do not restore those stockings 1 will ring for the patrol."

She hesitated but for a minute, for she took note of tbe boy at the tele-

Eand

hone who awaited orders with his on the index. Throwing back her shoulders and looking every inch a queen, she drew forth the woolen hose, handed them to her accuser with a low, sweeping bow, without removing her eyes from his face. The salute was returned. "Now leave, and don't you dare to come to this store again," said the manager. With a bewitching smile and a Blight bow of the head she swept down the store, passed out the door, and entering the carriage was diiven west on Washington street. "Why didn't you have her arrested was asked of the manager. "The firm decided otherwise, because the notoriety we should get would hurt the house, and besides she is only one of a large class who would have revenge by making us their prey for the next year or so.' "Are they frequent callere "I cannot say so, but we have one case every day. Saturday we loose heavily, because our patronage then is largest, and the crowd facilitates success of these pilfers. During the busy part of each season we engage one of Pinkerton's private detectives, and he spots them at sight. Where do we lose most? I think nearly all the thefts are made at the lace, ribbon, hosiery and glove departments. A professional whom we watched and caught, too, bought three yards of as many kinds of ribbon, and pocketed five bolts of the best imported ribbon we had in the store. A light-fingered lady who used to trade here last fall could get away with a whole dozen pairs of kid gloves, the Bize and color she wanted, while the clerk fitted her with a single pair." "I am inclined to think that these shop-lifters are either scheming women or are in business themselves and know how to go to work. One of our best customers, however, is a shop-lift-er. but belongs to neither of these classes. She is what might be called a kleptomaniac, and is utterly unable to resist the temptation of stealing whenever there is a chance. She took everything she could get into a reticule which she always carried. Her husband is a well-known lawyer in this city, and acknowledged that it was a disease with his wife and he was ready to pay for everything she took. The stolen goods are always billed under the hmd of sundries. The first time she was inclined to dispute the accuracies of the statement, but it was only once, for the

Maggie Moore, an alleged sweetheart of Manis, and a widow With a thirteen-year-old daughter, was the first witness on the stand yesterday. She stated that she loaned Perry the $25 because he said he wanted to go to Illinois to look for a location. He Said the money he had was the worst ttfing they could have against him in tbe case.

MANIS MAKES A KAISE. J^

Daniel Zook said ht asked Manis where be got his tiorsejjard buggy, and Manis replied that heWi ^'made a raise." He wanted Ijo start a saloon, and asked the witness if $500 would do it.

Madison Moore said he asked Manis to talk about the murder, and he declined to do so unless Helms, a fellow prisoner, was present. Mr. Moore is a deputy sheriff of Madison county, and Manis was in jail at that time in Anderson. Manis said he could prove that he was innocent. HELMS' (THE ALLEGED FOKGKK) STORY.

A Ibert L. Helms was the next witness. Helms is the man brought here from the Madison county jail, where he was confined for forgery, and testified before the grand jury. He said that Manis told him that he killed Mrs. Nelson. Helms is not very prepossessing in his appearance. He stated that Manis told him that he bad something to tell him. "We got away with Mrs. Nelson." I asked him "who," and he replied, "I and Jes." Helms said he did not ask who "Jes" was. Man's said he got away with her in a two story frame building with a saloon or restaurant IU it. Said Helms: "He showed me $228 which he bad concealed in his pantaloons he offered to give it to me, but I refused I said I didn't want it Tom Moore, the sheriff, is the person who came with the man they represented tp be Duncan." [Duncan was represented as an Indianapolis lawyer.] "I told Manis not to talk, to anybodyMoore, or anybody else I next saw Manis in jail here when I came to testify before the grand jury he asked me then not to give him away I told him I wouldn't he told me at that time he gave a pair of bracelets to Miss Conners, and a necklace to tbe Antrim girl I don't know what became of

MONBY^" -j

Manis had with him in jail ht Anderson Manis' father was at tbe jail on the day before Manis was brought here."

The witness was cool and self-pos-sessed. Tbe cross-examination brought on a lively scene, and the court was forced to call for order. Mr. Mack asked him if it was true that he was guilty of forgery, and the witness replied that it was none of his business. ManiB said "Jes," not "Jas." Mr. Mack referred to "LYING OFFICERS AND DETECTIVES," and referred to the witness as a "lying and infamous scoundrel." The court informed Mr. Mack that such statements must cease. The court overruled a motion of Mr. Mack's to com' pel the witness to answer the question whether he was guilty of forgery or not.

THE SEWER QUESTION.

Taxpayers Rebelling Against the Proposed Sixth Ward" Sewer.

A prominent wholesale groeer, who is one of the heaviest taxpayers in the city, expressed to a reporter yesterday his decided opposition to the sewer ordinance, which was recently hurried through the city council. He said if the provisions of the ordinance were carried out it would only result in the squandering of a large amoant of the people's money, as the proposed Sixth ward sewer beginning it Thirteenth street and tbe E. & T. H. railway and running up the railway to Twelfth street, -north on Twelfth and underneath the Poplar street sewer to Eagle and then west to tap the Canal sewer, would never amount to anything, and would be nothing more than a botch. He favored the building at once of a sewer through the Cruft farm and around the foot of Strawberry hill to a point on the river below the city. While it might cost a hundred thousand dollars to constract such a sewer, it would be the only sewer that would drain the city and be the cheapest in the long run. A sewer of that character would last for ages, and it should be built by the city issuing its sewer bonds. He had BO doubt that a hundred thousand dollars of five per cent, twenty-year bondB could be placed without difficulty. The gentleman furthermore saia he had conversed with two members of the council who voted for the recent ordinance, who were now in favor of repealing it, and that an effort would be made to that effect at the next meeting of the council.

SPORTING NEWS.

The Coining Wrestling Hatch—The RecSS' ord of an Athlete.

The wrestling match between Prof. Hess and Harry Primrose at Dowling hall, Wednesday night, is attracting a great deal of attention among the sporting fraternity. It is generally believed that no hippodrome performance will be given, and this adds to the excitement. Yesterday betting was $100 to $80 in favor of Hess.

The latter has bad a somewhat remarkable career as an athlete.. He was born in Buffalo in 1851. His first appearance in sporting circles was in a walking match in 1864,whenhe walked 25 miles in 4 hours and 49 minutes and took the first prize. In May the same year he ran a half mile in 2 minutes and 17 seconds. On the 29th of August he took the first prize in a glove contest. Next he entered a go-as-you-please walking match, after which he went to the Pacific coast, where he won considerable money in his undertakings. On the 16th of September, 1873, he fought the well-known James Trevellien. The fight lasted three Lours and consisted of ninety-nine rounds, Hess winning the stakes $2,000. In December he fought Pete Nolan, the champion of the coast. Hess won in fifty-seven rounds, but was floored seventeen times in thirty-four rounds. After this until he came east he paid but little attention to the prize ring, in the meantime entering several walking matches, winning the championship of Nebraska in a fifty hour go-as-you-lease. He defeated Frank Myers, ty miles, at Burlington. In 1881 be entered the O'Leary international go-aB-you-please six days walk, but becoming sick quit on 110-miles. The same year he entered the six days go-as-you-please at Chicago, coming in fourth, 465 miles. The same year he met Tom Chandler in a glove contest in Baltimore. He was in a number of contests up to the time be met Paddy Ryan in 1882 in Milwaukee, which fight was declared a draw.

THE WAGON WORKS.

Not Quite Sure, but Favorably Impressed.

A reporter for the Express found Col. Fish at the Terre Haute house last night. "Good evening, Mr. Fish," said the reporter. "Is everything settled vet?" "Notyet." "Do you think we will know the coming week?" ,*'• -f "Yes, it will be settled, I think, next week."

The colonel bad jUBt returned fi Evansville, where he went on invT tion of Mr. Mackey. He thought Evansville a nice town, and liked the people he met. He spoke jokingly of the rivalry between Terre Haute and and Evansville regarding the cheapness of coal. The works, if located here, will give employment to from 300 to 350 men, and turn out about 10,000 wagons per year. They will be located with the Keys huh and Bpoke factory. Some additional buildings will be erected. Just what will be done in that line c-annot be determined. The works will be manufacturing wagons by the 1st of April

Our people can feel almost sure that the works will be located here. Every thing is ready, and only awaits the ararrival of a gentleman who is now ab sent from the city. 'fpi

Tli« Silver King.

Judicious and liberal advertising afad a catching title drew a very large house to the performance of the Silver King, which did not fully realize the promise of the bills. While the play is interesting, the ffielo-dramatic effects are never very powerful nor peculiarly original. There is a strong suspicion of mechanical work and forced effects, while it is not even there area number of fine passages, some very good scenes, and several quite original characters. The scenery for the greater part of the play was furnished by the Opera house. The most striking specimen of the company^ was a very beautiful view of the Thames from the thieve's den on the wharf.

The Silver King, Wilfred Denver, as portrayed by Walter Bentley is an interesting character, quite evenly balanced though never very intense. Helen Tracy as Nellie Denver is most pleasing and an excellent actress, doing equally well in emotional passages and those in higher vein. The villain and •he villain's wife wefe well done by Mr. and Miss Edginton.

Mr. John Jennings, as Jaikes, the old family servant, played a distinctly character part of great merit, and the •^1-1 nnnmiu hir Foster, was also gossips at the

old fence, Coombs, by good. The group ot inn and the usual were somewhat exaggerated. The regular healthy moral of the failure of villainy and the restoration to peace and happiness Of the hero and heroine culminated in the pretty closing scene when the galleries gave the most ringing cheer of joy as the "spider" was handcuffed, showing that they, at least, were thoroughly interested and in sympathy with Wilford Denver.

The Oratorio Concert.

As already announced in our daily papers, tbe Oratorio society intends to give a serieB of monthly concerts beginnning on next. Tueslay evening with the oratorio Messiah. This work has alway the most popular of its kind abounding in noble choruses^and fine recitations and areas. Partly from this fact and partly on account of its peculiar fitness, the Messiah annually rendered in England and in many cities of our country about Christmas time. To conform to this custom has been the wish of the management of the Oratorio society, but this year on account of the joint concerts with the Evansville society about the holidays, this was impossible. Hereafter it is the intention to let nothing interfere with this time honored custom.

In the approaching rendition ol this oratorio, the society will be out in full force, and will beassisted by those who have hitherto done so much for the credit and success of the society: Mrs. Hoberg, Mrs. Gould, Mrs. Glow, and Messrs. Davis and Alder, as well as newer though worthy coadjutors, Miss Ensey and Miss Adams.

Space will not permit even a mention of all the beauties of this noblest work of Handel but those who can recall the arias of "I Know That My Redeemer Livetb," "O, Thou That Tellest," and "Comfort Ye My People," will have some idea of the enjoyments which the approaching concert promises. The satisfactory rendering of the choruses is assured by the character of the work previously done by the Oratorio society! Do our people realize what this organization has done and is doing for music in this city? Lt has given us "Elijah," "St. Paul," "Judas MaccabeuB," "The Messiah," "Lobgesang," and other representatives of the highest order of music, and from its own ranks has filled the solo parts with great satisfaction. This iB a record that is rarely equaled. Compare our choirs of to-day with those of five years ago and one will see some of the fruits of the labors of this society, to which too much credit cannot be awarded. It has successfully passed the feebleness of infancy, has skillfully avoided the dangers that beset such organizations, and now in the sixth year of its existence is more thoroughly organized, better drilled, with a more enthusiastic membership than ever before. This consideration all will draw attention to the concert on Friday night and will secure an overflowing house.

As has already been announced, admission will be free, a collection being taken up to defray expenses, which are considerable. Should this plan be successful the succeeding concerts will be given under the same conditions. To accommodate the contributing members of the society a section of the house will be reserved. Others desiring reserved seats can secure them by gettiog tickets at the Central book store at any time before the conceit.

Rhea.

M'lle Rhea, who will appear at the Opera house next Friday and Saturday, has made a wonderful success in America, and has created the greatest enthusiasm where she lias appeared, testing the capacity of the largest theaters. President Arthur, before whom she played at Washington (his first appearance at a theater after his inauguration) said "On the stage and in society M'lle. Rhea is one of the most entertaining ladies whom 1 have ever met."

In all large cities unusual social attentions have been shown her.- In Washington she atteuded a reception at the White House, and at an infor.thering in the President's —jJnr« the capital, and during a I.*. congress, was presented to nearly all of the prominent senators. Social receptions have been of nearly daily occurrence. At Cleveland recently, at the opening of the new Park theater, during the week, Mile. Rhea was invited to and attended twelve receptions. At one, a "Kettle Drum," she was personally presented to over 700 ladies. At Detroit she attended another "Kettle Drum," where she met 600 ladies. At each place the people were coming and going the entire afternoon. Probably no foreign artiste Bince Jennie Linu has been so taken to the homes and has so captured the hearts of the American people as has Mile. Rhea.

Tne Cleveland Leader says of her wardrobe in "The School for Scandal," the play of the opening night here: "In the first act Mile. Rhea wore an overdress of whtte satin, watteau Style, brocaded in gold, with pink satin, with two panels on the side, trimmed with white embroidered and beaded lace. The front of the skirt is in waves of white lace. The bodice is square, trimmed with satin and lace bows.

COMETS AND METEORS. ..

A Talk With Prof. Toung Regarding Some of the Wanderers ID Space. New York Sun.

Prof. C. A. Young of Princeton COI-^A lege had a small piece of stone in his hand when he began speaking in, Steinway hall last evening. "If tbia/ stone could tell its history," he said,' "I should not need to say a word. If, it could have been announced that the story of this stone would be told here to-night by itself the hall would have been crowded, even though the weather had been as bad as it is." It was apiece of a meteor which fell in South India.

In the course of his lecture Prof. Young said that meteors enter the earth's atmosphere with velocities of from twenty to fifty times that of a cannon ball, and the wonder is that, considering the intense heat which is produced, they are not wholly consumed before striking the earth. The one which fell bringing ice with it, in India, in 1S00, he said, brought with it something oi the temperature of outer space, which may be 200 or 300 degrees below zero. He spoke of the. theory that meteors are fragments, which were cast up by tbe volcanoes' of the earth and moon when those planets were young, and which, remain beyond the limit of those bodies' attraction for ages before being.^ again drawn back to the earth. Prof. Young did not believe that this theory:, was the true one. Some cf the meteors, he said, might have come from the sun or planets. The reason for this supposition was that they had so much hydrogen gas in them. It has_ been estimated that many millions meteors come into the earth's atmosphere every day. The probability is that there is a meteor every 200 or 300 miles in space.

Prof. Young said that there is a- sort of a relationship between meteors and comets. In five instances flocks ot meteors have been found tagging along behind comets. Just what tho connection is has not been determined. It was Mr. Proctor who styled comets "the scandal oi the astronomers. Y*t in some respects the lecturer said comets were the astronomer's triumph. Astronomers had done some of their best work in determining the periods of come'js.

The comet now visible, Prof. ouug •iiid, was one of the captive comets, ithaving been brought into its present orbit by the influence of the planet Neptune. It is the comet of 1812.
