It ts seidom that we see a combination of such thorouga artists as Hardie, Hoey, Sands, Ahrend?, the always popular Ellen Cummins, and Misws Mcak, Barker, and Baker, in a play which brings out the strong points of each so well. “A Child of the State” is a stirring play, with a good and unhackneyed plot, dramatic situations, and crisp dialogue, merits which more than Overbelance the minor defects, Miss Cummins as a part In which she appears to excellenc advantage,and so have Messrs.

In view of the Cireult Court cal- endar having been considerably reduced, It was deemed unnecessary to continue the two divi- sions in operation after the close of the present term, and an order was prepared and will b2 _- Monday, rescinding so much of the order as requires both divisions to be kept open and running.

Attorney Riddle in his communteation to the District Commisstoners on the subject of snow les in the streets, mentioued “in yesterday's Stak, suggesis that the attention of the street Taliroad companieg be called to the 6th section, Webb’s digest 367, as follows: “Every person who shall lay, throw or place, or cause to be latd, thrown or placed, any tce or snow into any street within the city shall cause the same to be broken {nto pieces and spread evenly on the surface of such street, and in default thereof shail be liable to a penalty of not less than two or more than five dollars for every such offence.” He adds: This ts to compel all_par- ties who have occasion to remove snow into or on the streets, to prevent piling it up in masses to the detriment of the use of the streets. In removing the snow from their tracks the rall- road companies leave it in ridges which at the regular crossings are a serious detriment to foot b eager Pe and carriages. I suggest that they nouiled to remove these ridges from the crossings at least. The law of course would compel all parties who remove the snow froin Side walks to spread it over the street, but a3 tus works little pubiie Inconvenlence, and subjects a whole population to a serious tax, do not make apy suggestions in the premises, nor am I inelined to subject railroads to more than the public necessities require.” A NIGHT SOI. NUISANCE. ‘There seems to be considerable trouble about the removal of night soll. The barrels used by the Odoriess Excavating Company—some 300 in number—are all frozen up, so that they have none to work with. Application has been made by the contractor to empty them, after they shall have been thawed out, into James creek. ‘The river being frozen, the contractor has no way to get rid of the contents. The Commis- sioners have refused the request made, and state that during this cold season the contractor may have lon to make his deposits at the poor-house grounds, where it can be utilized for the magazine grounds, which have been added to the poor-house farm. Tnis offer will be accepted and the suggestion carried into coe a8 soon as the barrels can be thawed our ‘The Corcoran Gallery of Art. NEW PURCHASES AND EXHIBITS. The “Portrait ofa Lady,” by Mr. B. C. Porter, of Boston, recent urchased by Mr. Corcoran, for the Gallery, Is now on public exhibition there. Those who remember this picture of a lovely woman, leaning upon a chair, on which sits an ugly pug dog, exhloited here three years ago, will welcome its return, and rejoice over it as a “thing of beauty” that will remain here “a joy forever.” It is needless to describe it. For sweetness of expression, rich color, and bold vigorous handling, it is a master-plece,and a valuable study for art-students. Several new and valuable pictures have lately been placed on exhibition {a theGallery. wo of them are portraits by Healy—one of Miss Thursby, the American Vocalist, full length; the other a half length of Cardinal McCloskey. Miss Thursby is represented in a fall concert dress of blue, holding a piece of music. The pose of the figure is firm and graceful, the drapery tastetully arranged, thous the trail- ing ‘skirt might have been worked up with closer — imitation; —_ but that defect 1s overlooked in _ be- holding the beautiful head and features, from which a pleasant, bright spirit looks out. The color ts clear, fresh and delicate. The portrait of Cardinal McCloskey ts of an opposite cnarac- ter and color. He is seated in scarlet canon! cals, one hand supporting a head whose brow is maskcd with intense thought, beneath watch 1s an eye of fixed penetration. 'Tnese portraits were exhibited in the Paris salon of 1579. Another new exhibit is “Sheep Sheartng In the Bavarian Highlands” by Walter Snirlaw, of New York, who studied for years in Munich, and this picture may be considered as a notable example of the style of that school, which many young'American artists have brought home,and consider the true one. It is a large work, over six feet in length, and represents sheep-shear- ing in the vaulted basement of a well todo Stock-owner. On either side are seated a row of women shearing sheep. In the center Is the receding figure @ woman carrying off an armful of wooi; two men are beyond, An ox-stail is in the right foreground, and in the left a boy and girl impart a gentler character to the scene. The first glance at this work impresses one With its remarkable vigor of drawing, the strong character of its figures, its admirable perspective, and its general fine color. But it is also marred with a confusion of some of its de- tails in its central points, and certain smeari- ness of paint, which destroys all difference of testure in sheep, pavement, dresses and other accessories. There isa tendency to substitute paint for painting, which the evident ability of the artist might have avoided. This picture, too, was in the salon of 1879, and bears the uule of “honorable mention,” which it won there, A fourth picture newly added 1s a portrait by Huntington of the late Col. Benjamin Ozie Tayloe. It bears all the refined marks of artist’s style, being painted in pure gray color, and the figure is stamped with that peculiar air of a cultivated gentleman, which Mr. Hunting- ton instinctively ee to his sitters, and which in this case nged to his sitter a3 well. How to Prevent Cruelty to Animals. Editor Sar:—Recent letters in Tae Stak have complained of cruelty and the abuse of animals to be witnessed in our streets. The motives of the writers were doubtless excel- lent, but their efforts would be more usefully diretted If they would sustain and encourage the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in this city, and persuade gerd Tela- ve an admirable law Da this subject in the District of Columbia, bnt the soclety whose duty it is to see to its enforcement is almost powerless, for lack of [apie food pole In other cittes such organizations are not only backed by pub- lic sentiment, but are berally sustained by contributions from humane and public spirited citizens. It is impossible in a work of this kind to accomplish any effective results without some funds at command. What is needed in this city Is an agent, regularly employed and paid by the society, whose constant duty it ‘Shall be to canvass the city, visit the outskirts, go through the markets, and into every other place where abimals are known to suffer from cruelty and neglect—charged with the duty of bringing offenders to justice. Ia the present condition of affairs it is impracticable to em- ploy such an agent, for there is not money enough In the Treasury to pay him one week's Wages. Repeated appeals have been made, by Jetter and otherwise, to those who ought to be interested in this work, but thus far with very slender results. It cannot be, however, that in &@ population so large and cosmopolitan a3 ours there are not maby persons who sympathize with the sufferings of the poor animals that toll and die in our service, and who would gladly aid in any p.oper movement for their protection. It 18 therefore urgently requested that all who read this—ladies as well as gen- Giemen—who believe that this humane work should be encouraged and actively prosecuted in this city, will send their names and address to the secretary, 1418 F street northwest. If any adequate response follows this invitation, prompt measures wiil be m to make the Present soctety an active and efficient organt- zation. It may be well to state that Mr. George T.

It started at the bottom of the stairs that fur- uished the only mode of exit for the tenants of afive-story building, barring the outside fire escape, and In less than five minutes swept through the stairway to the roof. cutting off the escape of a score of persons, The suddenly insperilled tenants made a rush for the roof, but the scutte was firmly hooked and would not yield. The ascending flames drove then back in their reoms, and a scene of wild confusion ensued. Men and women threw their children from the windows and jumped after them through the flames that swept across the yard and cauaay their clothing. When the firemen mastered the raging element, the dead bodies of nine persons who had been burned were taken out. Several were injured in making their escape and were sent to the Chambers- Street hospital. The scene of the dreadful holocaust, the like of which has not occurred in this city Since the tenement house fire in Cannon street, more than a year ago, and the dreadful Turner Hall calamity about the same time, is approacned through a narrow alley, hardly wide enough to allow the passage of a portly man between the two tall tenements, Nos, 35 and 33 Madison Street. In front of No. 35 is James Doyle's liquor store. Its back door opens directly upon the nar- row hallway In the rear tenement, where the start was given to this morning's fire. Plumb- ers were busy at the foot of the stairs thawing out frozen water pipes, and for this purpose used gasoline apparatus. By some means It was t, and the intlammable material ran out. There was a Dilnding flash as of an explo- sion that blew in the door of the saloon, and In an instant a black smoke welled up the long stairway impelled by adraught setting towards the open windows in the top story. The fire finding vent through the open doors and win- dows of the unteuanted ground floor of the houses, had seized upon the shutters, window frames, and wooden fioorsof balconies outside Meking' them up like so much Ussue paper, and reaching up toward the floors where the fright- ened men and women huddled together afraid to venture out upon the fire escape that seemed to lead invo the very jaws of death. Some Narrow Escapes. Eight families occupted the house, two on each tloor. On the second floor the Eagans and Muldoons had, at the first alarm, escaj through the windows. Mrs. Mary Eagan, a widow, and her four grown children, Mar” garet, Thomas, Joseph and John, reached the ground in safety bya quick jump. Mrs. Mul- doop, who is over 80 years old, was less fortu- nate, seizing her two grand-children, Annie, aged 10, and Kate, aged 7, she sprang from the fire-escape, but, in the fall prained or broke her leg and crawled away with difticulty. A Thrilling Scene. On the floor above, Mr. Regan, who lived alone, oo with his neighbors, the McKen- kewlse by jumping. James, aged h, aged 4, and the baby were thrown through the window by Ckaries, their eldest brother, a lad of 15. The mother, Mrs. McKen- na, was sweeping im the yard when the fire broke out. She rushed to the stairway, but ‘Was met by a solid sheet of flame, and realizing the danger of her children,roused them by shout- ing before they knew of the approach of the dead- ly visitor; ‘Jump Charles; throw them down.” the agonized mother cried and stretched out her arms to receive them as the three little heads looked over the window still besides Ubelr brother. ‘The lad measured the distance With his eyes: it was more than 20 feet, and he shrank from the yenture with the dread of in- stanPdeath. But the smoke wasalready filing tbe room and pouring through the window, the children now cried and stretched their hands towards their mother. The baby’s call Mama,” “Mama,” was heard above the roar of the fire and the clamor in the street. The motner cried, “Charlie, for God’s sake, jump!” and the boy flung the baby into its’ mother’s ar. The other children followed, himselt leaping last. All reached the ground in safety. On the fourth floor lived the Cassidy family and the Eagan’s, another family, but of the same name as those on the first floor and in the fifth and topmost story, Mrs, Ellen Sheridaa Was at breakfast with her four chiidren. ‘The men, as in all the other familtes, had gore to their work. At the ilrst alarm ‘Mrs. Sheridan ran to the door and seeing the hail- way effectually blocked, turned to the windo' The flames there met her also, and in despair she rushed for the scuttle on rhe roof. It was firmly hooked, and her strength, desperate as she was, did not suffice to open it. Returning to her rooms, she ctosed the door on the ad. yancing fire, but too late—the rooms were filled with smoke, growing more dense every mo- ment, in which the women and her children groped about, vainly seeking the windows. hey were found dead, evidentiy choked before the flames reached them. Frightful Scenes, ‘The Casidy famby had attempted escape by the roof, also falling had reached the windows and flung themselves out; only two of them, Charles and Thomas, boys of 6 and 5 years were Jeft. They were suffocated, and when found their clothes were burned. Of the Eagan fam- ly all save a little girl of two, escaped by {hrowing themselves into the yard, but Mary Eagan was badly injured in the fall and was taken to the hospital The whole was over m Jess time by far than it has taken to tell it. The vard was filled with writhtng bodies of the scorched and injured women and children. ‘The police and firemen quickly removed these and made heroic efforts to gain the uppar floors, whence issued the cries of those yet im- risoned. They were beaten back each time. ficer Thos. Barrett reached the second floor on the fire escape and assisted in the rescue of two children before he himself was poled eee his lite.
