That “‘Wine-Room” —Agency—Local ‘*- Items and General Gossip. -OUR THEATRES. ..’ The doors of every’ house in town—exczpt ; those of the Olympic—will be closed to the pub- 7 Me during the coming week. This evening Daly , Will give the last performance of bis four weeks’ ‘ engagement. ‘That engagement has -proved fairly profitable, Augustin Daly has shown. us “an Arabian Night,” “The Royal 3fiddy,” and ‘ “Wives.” The first named, a farcical comedy : of decided merit, was fincly played’ and - taste- : fully set upon the stage. So. was “The Royal Middy"; but ‘+ Wives "—the best epeolnien st comedy scen here in many a day—' i meither cast nor -presented.. with that care.and completeness usually observable . in whatever this manager gives the public. Mr. Daly has also shown ws what careful drilling can ~ do with novices, for many of ‘the people in his “company never saw the stage practically until 2 the beginning of the present season. Miss Ada » Rehan, Miss May Fielding, Mr. Brand, Mr. Lacy, among the new people, made a favorable im- pression, while Mr. John Drew asthe Heroun At Basehid of “ An Arabian Night” and sfissCather- _ine Lewis as-Agnegin “Wives” made popular hits. Betwoen Daly and Catherine Lewis,or rather * " petween the husband of that actress, Mr. Oscar “ Arfwedson, @ feud has been raging, and at one time during the past two weeks it looked as Sf the thing would have cuiminated in the’refu- sal of Catherine Lewis to continue playing. - However, the manager used diplomacy, and suc- ceeded in averting this. Miss Lowis, after much misfortune at the beginnmg of the present sea- son, was fortunate enough to be cast for parts _ which gave her opportunity. She at once be- came & New York favorit. She began the sca- son with $45 a week. This was quickly increased | . ’ to'$75, ana an agreement was made by. which “Daly was to pay her $12 a week next season. “But, like ‘many another actress who herself an idol, her Bae eaten see ladys head. She svendt to the advice of injudicious friends, and became through her husband so exasperatingty exacting and dictatorial that a rupture ensued between er and ber manuzger. Next season's engage- ment has been declared off. ee Haverly to-morrow will begin to rédecorate his house, and will have everything ready. for the oj ing of the Union Square company on Monday evening. the 2d of August. * French Flats," wo understand, will open the engage ment. Manager McVicker is sparing no effort to make his auditorium one of the most beauti- i. lt will a fine example of decorative art, Work will becommenced on Hooley’s interior next week. The present style of decoration will-be entirely changed. The Grand \- House (Hamlin’s) is rapidly assum- Ing shape. It is expected thnt the house will be ready by the 16th, or at furthest the 23d. The manager hus not. yet decided upon the opening attraction. Mr. William Emmett, of tho Academy of Music, who has always outsbonc the others in the peauty of his house, is actermined that. his ition in this rd wiil be main- + His Gsconimons i ibe Ralebed some time during August, and he open early in September. Robert Fox, lute of Philadelphiu, the new lessee of the Lyceum Theatre on Desplaines street, is pushing on the reconstruction of that house. We believe the seating capacity will be increased to 2,00; In addition to the thextres we, huve mentioned there wil! be two or three cheap houses running during the winter,—in all we will have ten houses devoted to dramatic representations nextyear, the largest number has ever had. GULICK:& BLAISDELL. ‘The firm organized under the name of Gulick & Blaisdell have now. completed thelr arrange- ments for the coming season. Already we have given the plan which these gentlemen propose carrying out, that of forming a circuit covering the Western and Southwestern Smtes, of bring- ing order out of the present chaotic condition of the dramatic business ‘in these sections, of endeavoring to protect authors from the ravages of (MS. pirites, and of crowding out the disreputable and irresponsible _men who have’ becn in the habit of imposing on ‘poor professionals and confiding landlords. The _ arrangements: made by, Messrs. Blaisdell & Gulick eppear tobe compiete enough to warrant tho belief that their venture will be successful. ‘The executive staff is as follows: Joseph A. Gulick, General Manager: John W. Blaisdell, General Director Amugement Department; W. J. Barnes, Associate Manager; Claude De Haven, General Hepresentative and Director of All Publications; J. B. Murray, Advance Mana- ger and General Contractor; Andrew McKay, Advance Manager and Contractor; J. Duke Murray, Assistant Manager Company No. -1; George A. Fair, Ascistant MunagerCompany No. 2; W. J. Barnes, Acting Manager Company No. 3: James Roscoe, Treasurer Company No.1; W. H. Boyd, Treasurer Company No. 2; M. C.

Richardson, Master of ‘Transporta- tion Company No. 3; J.P. Dillard, L. B. Rowe, and C.E. Packard, Assistant Agents in charge of Advertising Brigades. Company No. 1 will Be headea by John Dillon, among whose support will be Miss Eugénie Blair, Miss Ella ‘Wren, and Miss Laura Wallace. He will have, two new picces, “The Electric Light” and “ Jinks and His Babies,” and will open at Aurora on the igth of August. The star of Company No. 2 will-be Mr. Hi ‘Webber. who will con- tinue in his “Nip and ” this organization will begin the 8enson on_the 23d. also at Aurora. ‘The third company: will perform in a new musical oddity entitled “Hop Scotch,” and its cast will include Miss Laura Manfred, Miss Helen Graysen, and Miss Grace Pettit. At Rockford, an the 26th,“ Hop Scotch" will be beta : ost important contracts made b: most im) tracts made by & Gulick was signed last week with Mr. Roland Reed and 3{iss Alice Hast- ings. They will be starred in two new plays, and will begin their season early in-November, Neither of these people need extended words of commendation. J3 were members of . SIc- Vicker's ‘iast stock compuny, and both suc- ceeded in winning a most caviable position in the affections of playgoers. Mr. Reed, unlike the bulk of our so-called” comedians of to-day, has had the advantages of good schooling, and. these advuntares, united to a natural aptitude for the illustration of comic réles, has. made him one of the small group of actors now on the American stage who understand the diference between comedy and buffoonery. Niss Alice Hastings is a soubret actress of decided merit, too, young, plump, pretty, and dashing, and given a proper play thev should prove one of the strongest attrac- tions under the manazement of the new firm. — THAT ‘* WINE-ROOM” AGENCY. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Carcaco, July 24.—I note that yesterday and also this morning, you devote sonie space to + that “Wine-Room” Agency. I donotknow Tut- hill or Wackerhagen; butI do know that the Coliscum at Kansas City is notorious for being a den of iniquity, and that among variety shows is pre&hinent for being of the vile, one of the vilest. .| Any reputable citizen of Kansas City will tell you that itsreputation is most unsavory; and that its “‘wine-room" is all you have imputed such rooms to be, it isa sdurce of shame to our People that this procurement of. girls for vile purposes is allowed. If we. cannot. k our young maidens from being collcited for shameful use, whose child is safc? ‘The streets of our city’ present: cuch day the pitiful spectacle or scores of girls of 12 to 16 Years of age going about in pursuit of a calling that is of the most degrading character. Theso children have sometime, somewhere, been so- licited by vile men; have been made to listen to vile pro; Is; have had the barriers of modesty thrown down and been started on a career of infamy. . We want some way developed whereby ‘the innocent ones may at least not be tempted while so young, when the undeveloped mind -is peculianly Hable to sophisticul reasoning, and ‘the will not strong enough to resist a temptation that is sugar-coated to the fancy of a child.

Itcame in the shape of a fire-engine which. rushed past the open door, drowning the voices of the people oa the stage at the time and filling the air with the barsh clang of its bell. Tho pas- suge of the engine set the entire audience onthe qui vive, and when this. was followed by a de- tachment of shouting urchins some idiot who deserved to be strung up to the nearest Inump- post shouted ut the top of his lungs “Tire!” A scene of the wildest sort of excitement im- mediately ensued. The actors stuod stock still.on the stage, as if petrified, but a surging mass of furious ‘people crowd- ed into the aisles, and made for the doors. Men stood up and shouted, “Sit down,” forgetful of the advice they were giving to the others. A number of snatched up their hats and ‘The women were braver than the men; although they betrayed their fear by their pale, scared faces,asa general thing they retained their Seats, and set a praiseworthy example to the al- leged stronger sex. At this critical moment Buly Birch and W, H.Strickland, who were seat- ed side by side, began Spplindiieg vigorously. Their plan succeeded, and in» momect, just as Operti’s orchestra began courageously to play a popular air, a deafening round of applause rolled over the audience. This bad the effect of reassuring the frightened: oncs, and they re- turned chapfaller to their seats. and a serious calamity was perhaps averted. The attechés in front of the house seemed wholly undisciplined, and they made no concerted effort to stop the rush that was made for the street.

Woodland, the Hero. 5 New York Herald, Fuly 22. ‘Twenty-cight men, as stated, were at work. Fourteen of them had just returned from their lunch, and the other fourteen were about to go to theirs. The men refurning had passed inside through the air-lock.and the others had quit their posts preparatory to leaving. It is proba- ble that if they had delayed this for evena minute the accident Would not have happened, for the fatkl leak, which was discovered just too inte, might easily have been stopped if discovered intime. As they stood together, just at the mo- ment of shifting; a péculiar hissing sound was heard with which allwere familiar. It meant a- leak, and a leak meant death. i" Back; and stop ‘the Ieak!” shouted Wood- Jand, and the order was obeyed almost before it was given. As many as could get thore jumped forthe: place where all knew the danger was greatest. The joining of tho.temporary roof of the tunnel with the Wall of the shaft was neces- sarily imperfect.’ It was intended to make all firm with a three-foot wall of brick and cement, but it was impossible’ to get the foundation of this brick-work until after the circle of the tun- nel should be completed, so that this imperfect Jointure was continually watched. Withreason- able diligence it was easy to keep it closed, and the material to close it was plenty and at hand. ‘The chinks were kep* closed with the silt of which the river bottem is largely composed,—a clayey mud of tue consistency of putty,—and a man wag supposed to be cuntinually watching the chink: at 12 o'clock midnight there was no'icak, and none was reported until just at the moment mentioned. Of the terrible struggle: which follpwed. and which could'not have lusted more than two min- utes, it is impossible to give n clear story. That all was done which could be done uo one can doubt. ‘The men were nerved by a knowledge of the peculiar danger of their position. Not a man but knew thnt he curried his life in his band whenever he went to bis work, and nota man failed to know that the supreme moment badcome. That they had worked as well for a minute a3 men could work cannot be doubted. It wus toolate. The leak that one man could have stopped if he had been there at the right Moment was now wide enough for tho foul cur- . ont of corruption and death-to tlow in from the river-bottom, and the only safety wasin flight. Between the spot where they were and the ope? air, there were two Jocked doors, only one of which could be opened atonce. - The little rift aboveghom oceame a chasm. . The compressed air eseaped until there was no longer pressure enough from within to maintain tho portion of unfinished work. It broke,.and water and mud closed in ardund them. “The clectrio light by which they worked was extinguished. All was darkness. Even tight had in a moment become adoubtful problem. ; ; 5 At that moment one man plared the hero and met a ‘hero's death.. Woodland stood by the inner door of the nir-lock calling to bis ‘men to coms to the caisson. His quick order to work bad come too late, and he culled the retreat 23 promptly as he hnd ordered the advance. “Quick, boys, getinte the Jock,” he shouted, and instead of passing in among the first he stood by the door helping one after another in. Eight men passed. They were not‘yot safe. If the others could get in and the inner door of the lock could be closed before the falling débris (for everything around them was falling by that time) should bieck the way they would be almost safc. But as the ninth man was entering the lock the awful weight of the mud and water fell against tho door, pinning him co fast that nuth-, ing could have fréed him in time. # ‘The door was fust. One man was fastened in the Canueld between the other nineteen and their last chance of life. The eight in the tock were thus almost lost, for there was no longer a chance toclose the inner door, and the fi was closing on them. Swiftly the water rushed into the lock,’ the Hood rose knee deep where they stood, and the air was compressed by all the Pressure of the risy above them in the little chamber, the dour of which was securely fast- ened against them: They could not open this door nur could thoy break it from the inside. But in the lock were two dead lights ot massive «| glass,- eight inches in diameter, and these tho men knew wero to he broken as a last resort, My God? the water is gaining on us,” siid on what shall we do?” E: “Keep cool, men; keep cool,” answered a voico from the river side of the tunnel. One of the men looked through the miner bull’s-eye and sew Woodland standing quietly in the door. “Keep cool.” ho repeated; “‘nothing can be gained by excitement.” : “But the water is gaining on us more and more, and we can’t open the door into the work- ing sbaft.” - «“Yog, and ‘the water is covermg me up,” moaned poor Anderson, who was crushed by the door.’ “Can’t you get me out of this?” Three of the men caught him by the hair and neck and pulled; but every movement was agony to the man, and ke wailed piteously to bo ict alone. ‘The water got bigher and higher, and present- ly Superintendent Woodiand said: “Take off your clothes, men, and stop the erack of the door.”” Some one said that that would cut off what little communicadion there wns between them. “Never mind that,” replied Woodland, “it is your only chance.” >. “But then ——" “Du as teil'you,” sharply said Woodland. The men went to work with a will, and ina moment had packed the crack of the door with their clothes. Thus the portion that Anderson’s body did not filt was closed and the rapid in- crense of the water checked. es Presently a noise came from tho inside. One of.the men neeped out through the bull's eye and saw Woodland peering inat them. His faco was very pale, and was, only 2 few feet above the water that xurgled about him. Bebind him in the din glimmer were seen a nuraber of shadowy, indistinct forms, whom the men knew to be their fellow-workmen. None of thom moved, and beyond an occasional moan, which might havo been a prayer or a curse, there was no sound. Woodland’s voice sounded strange as he shouted to them: “ Brenk open the outside bell's-eye.” ‘The men in the nir-lock knew that to obey this meant sudden and sure death to Woodland and their compunions. Burns’ moaus bad ecased, for the water had covered him before. their eyes. . Woodlaud’sorder meant that he was willing to encrifice his own chunces of escupe to insure those of the eight’ men in ‘the lock. He knew that there was a chance for: them then, but that it might pass away ina moment. The men knew ,this too, but hesitated to obey the onler.. Again iteame: —- - iy “Knock out the bull’s-eye; knock it out, L say”; and then the stern voice faltered alittle 23 itndded, “and do what you can for the rest of Blow upon blow fell on the thick glasss, and Was answered from the outside by two men who had by this time arrived with crowbars. The glass flew out and the cold airrushedin. Michael Birdsall, a watchman,: and Michael Huriey, a jJaborer, braced themselves on the outside and started the door a little; then the frenzied men on the inside (for the water was bubbling about their shoulders now) cuught the fron edge and pulled with all ‘their strength. The door few open, and with the rush of air, came the rush of wuter, Ley naked men were hurled into the working shaft, and, together with the two rescuers, were burried up the ladder to the ground. Then, and not till then, had the men an opportunity to puuse and retiect that behind them; bencath the water that boiled and secthed in the early morning light, were the bodies of thoir nineteen comrades und the hero Woodland.

A Comparison Between 1879 and 1880 on Real and Personal Property. ‘Assessor’ Amick, of the West Town, will turn over his books to the County Clerk ina very few days. His work is practically fin- ished now, about all that remains to be done consisting of the final copying: of a portion of the figures and the making of thenecessary additions, recapitalations, etc.. The extent ot the territory in the West Division being near- Jy twice as large as. that in .the North and -Sonth Divisions- combined, the work has “necessarily consumed more time than ‘it did in the other towns. Add to this the fact that Mr. Amick has taken special pains to give the taxpayers of the West Division ample, time to personally inspect the bopks and examine. their own and their neighbors’ returns, and the lateness ‘with which the returns are-forthcoiming is fally accounted for. AS a result of this policy, this-year’s assessment will, it is believed. be more uniform and equitable than it has been in prior years. This is especially important as regards the real-estate assessment, which, as is well known, is to stand ‘for four years. ONE OF THE FEATURES OF THIS YEAR'S AS- 3 SESSMENT ~ is the special care. which has been taken t properly assess corporations and individuals doing a thriving business, some of whom have been notoriously chronic tax-fighters. Special attention has also been bestowed upon the lumber interest, one of the most. important factors, in a commercial sense, in the West Division. 5 .Tho total real-estate assessment for 1879 was $ 594, and that on personal prop- erty $4,077, ‘00.’ ‘The totals for this year’s as- sessinen! as above stated, have not been computed, but will be by to-morrow evening. it is only possible, therefore, to give them. approximately. The real-estate total will be about $28,574,174. the falling-of ‘from last year being due to the Jarge. depreciation in the value of frame buildings, of which there area large number in the West Division. “As will be seen further on, there. is a decrease this year in the assessment of certain dock property in Greene’s South Branch Addition—a deerense due to the fact that several of the railronds have listed their property under the proper schedule, as provided by law, and the assessment will be made bythe State Board of Equalization. ‘The personal property assessment will ap- proximate a total: of $4,250,000 to $4,500,000, the comparatively slight decrease being due tothe greater care taken this year to make the assessment more equitable and more uni- form. a ‘The following tables will furnish an idea of THE REAI-ESTATE AND.
