Atnaven’s Orrra Hovse.—Miss Dav last night was still weak from her recent ill- ness, but she enacted the trying role of La Tosca with a power that stirred the large audi- ence to an exceptional degree and gained for her a couple ofcalis before the curtain. She showed, however a disposition to play lightly with the scenes of passion and jealousy, reveal- ing little of that scathing intensity which Sar- dou’s keynote to the character pares one for, and which Bernhardt doubtless imparts to it in abundance. ‘is never been Miss Davenport's forte, however; her love is never the love that kills; her nature is too Saxon and womanly. Consequently it is difficult at times to think of her La Tosca as an Italian and a Roman of the evil days of Ferdinand—‘“a woman of that time, of that country, and not at all Ge hom time or country.” In terrible scenes of the third act, however, Miss Daven- port’ Power of depicting true ‘womanly love, an; and agony were revealed to the fullest and she made a profound impression on the audience. The torture scene in this act in- volves a situation almost sickening in its horri- ble revelation of cruelty and suffering, and the audience gave a sigh of relief when it was over. In the fourth act Miss Davenport put more of the true electric force and intensity into the scene with Scarpia, The suggestion of calm but terrible despair with which she seemingly yielded to the lustful fiend was most effective, and the religious acts after the murder seemed saved from sacrilegiousness by the sense that the killing was justifiable. is scene might be relieved of some of its painful suggestive- ness by less robustious action on the part of Mr. McDowell. The power and deep interest of “La Tosca,” aside from all questions of morality, are undeniable. The atmosphere of the play. however, is charged with sin and crime, and there isa mingling of religion and immorality in it that will shock many, even in this day of the widest dramatic license. Miss Davenport's company gave her efficient support throughout, and the play was well put on the stage at Albaugh’s last night. NationaL THEATER.—The numerous audience at this house last night was not at all inclined to take Nat Goodwin seriously in his version of “Gringoire,” called on the bill ‘A Royal Re- venge.” The upper portion of the house especially insisted on accepting as fun what was offered them as pathos. the absurd complications of “Confusion” Mr. Goodwin was entirely and effectively at home, and the audience laughed unrestrainedly at his antics and dilemmas. He is very well supported. ‘Mr. S. Miller Kent, Miss Lee and Miss Mortimer doing notably good work.

THEY GET ON A SPREE AND ARE ARRESTED—ONE TRIES TO HANG HIMSELF. Yesterday afternoon. on Pennsylvania ave- nue, near the capitol, Policeman Schultze ar- rested an old soldier, who was intoxicated, on a charge of violating a Districtordinance. An- other old soldier who was with him was also laced under arrest. They were taken to the irst street patrol-box, where one of the pris- oners attracted a large crowd by his wild ges- tures. The patrol-wagon soon arrived and the intoxicated citizens were driven to the Sixth precinct station. One of them, who gave his | name as Francis Rooney. was charged with in- | decent exposure, while his companion got off | on a charge of “drunk.” During the evening | Patrol-Driver Cleveland was attracted to | mey’s cell by hearing a peculiar noise. pon his arrival in the corridor he was sur-| prised to find the prisoner hanging to the | cross-bar by his handkerchief. He was cut | down before he had injured himself, and was soon afterward released on collateral, which was forfeited in the Police Court to-day. —— Transfers of Real Estate.

STONING POLICEMEN AND NEW EMPLOYES— FEARS OF A TIE-UP IN NEW YORK. There were serious disorders in Brooklyn yesterday growing out of the street railway strike. The immediate cause of the trouble was an attempt to convey some new employes of the Atlantic avenue railroad line from the sta- bles at Atlantic avenue and 3d street to the sta- bles at 5th avenue and 24th street, where the company’s horses had been neglected for a couple of days because of the lack of men. Six- teen employes in two wagons, guarded by 26 policemen, who were in the wagons with them, and 20 mounted officers, left the first-named stables at 4:30, on their way to the 5th avenue stables, A large crowd of strikers and their sympathizers gathered about the wagons, how!- ing and throwing stones. The wagons and horsemen pressed briskly on, the mob follow- ing, until the procession was halted on 23d street. near the stables. Several thousand an- gry men blocked the way. From the streets, windows and housetops, stones, clubs and brickbats showered upon the policemen and trembling employes. Sergeants Johnson and Cole, who commanded the mounted odijcers, ordered their men to charge. and the squads advanced on the gallop. The officers used their clubs effectively. and at 5 o'clock the em- ployes were safely lodged in the stable, Many rioters were struck by clubs and the flying missiles, and several policemen were hit, but nobody, as far as known, was severely in: jured. Strong details of police guard the stables and patrol the line of the road. The Brooklyn board of aldermen yesterday unanimously adopted a resolution giving no- tice to the Atlantic avenue line that unless their cars are put in motion forthwith and run on schedule time steps will be taken to have the charter declared null and void under which the company exists, It is thought that a tie-up on the New York street-railway lines is likely to take place to- day or to-morrow. ‘eetings were held all over the city last night to consider grievances. senna A — 90.

From the Cincinnati Inquirer. Peter L. Kimberley, of Sharon, Pa., is suing Charles D, Arms, of Youngstown, Ohio. in the United States Supreme Court. and the case in- volves the ownership of the Grand Central mine, in Arizona, a property valued to-day at about $5,000,000, and un accounting of nearly $100.000 dividends received. In 1873 Kimberly and Arms went into partnership with about $12,000 to buy mines m Dakota, Arizona, and Colorado, and gradually increasing their in- vestments, they purchased interests in some fifty mining properties, many of them in Da- kota. While in Arizona, Arms, who acted as prospector and purchaser for the firm, was of- fered a large interest in the Grand Central mine for $87,000 by Gage & Wetherell. Arms made an arrangement by which W. K. Fair. banks, of Chicago, for a share in the mii fur- nished the money. A new company’ wai —_ and Arms got 17,500 shares of new stock. On the day that Garfield was inaugurated, in 1881, the nership was dissolved. Kimberly demanded one-half the stock, but Arms claim:d the agreement with Fairbanks was an af- fair oi his own, outside the partnership. Kim- berly brought suit the United States circuit court for the northern district of Ohio, and by eement the case was heard by a master in chancery and decided in favor of Kimberly. The case was carried ig Port to the Supreme Court, where Justice itthews reversed the master’s decision and entered a decree for A reversal of the decision of the court below, it is said would leave Arms practically ruined. His income from his share of the mine is nearly $100,000 per year. Mrs. James G. Buarne, Jn., S1aNs a Con- ‘Tract.—In New York yesterday afternoon Mrs. James G.

OFFICERS OF AN ATLANTA BANK GET AWAY WITH $15,000 IN A COUPLE OF Days. J. R. Tolleson, president, and Jas, Richards, cashier of the Mercantile banking company, of Atlanta, Ga., were sent to jail Monday by Judge Clarke for contempt at court, On Sat- urday the company was put in the hands of a receiver, and Monday the receiver made a report stating that the cash assets so far as could be found were sixty cents, while he was reliably informed that the company had made collections to about $15,000 within the past few days. Upon this showing the judge sent the president and cashier to jail, saying that the theft was too patent to pass by. This con- cern has been advertising extensively that it would make collections for practically nothing, and in this way has caught banks in different arts of the country. The downfall of the ank was brought about by a newspaper ex- pose of its methods, innate In Training as a Wife. THE NOVEL CONTRACT THAT MR, STONE MADE WITH MISS OWENS, From the San Francisco Examiner, Chas. J. Stone made a contract with Miss Margaret T. Owens, whereby he hired her as his housekeeper, agreeing that if he did not marry her within a stated time he would pay her 2480 for her services. He did not marry her, but she found out that he had lost most of his money and therefore wanted to marry a wealthy widow, whereupon Miss Owens sued him for $299, the balance due her. She testi- fied that he had always treated her respectfully and kindly until he lost his money. Mrs. Jones, the widow in the case, was called. “Within the last few weeks,” she said, “Mr. Stone has paid his attentions tome. He in- formed me that he was hampered by this con- tract with the young lady, but that he would ay her the money and end the affair, as he ad learned by experience that girls are all giddy, and it was foolish to expect to find old heads on young shoulders, ad no idea of the extent of his meanness then or I should have given him the grand bounce long ago.

Hutchinson had charge of my farm in Deuel county, Dak., in 1887, and his daughter Mand, only seven years old at the time, drove a team and did her share of the work in stacking over 500 acres of hay and grain. We ran from three to five teams every day, and she would drive a load to the stack, change teams, drivé back to the field and change teams, driving a different team every time. Some of the teams were not very gentle, but she managed them as well as any of the men. At one time, while hauling hay, the load slipped off, throwing her under it. She crawled out, overtook the team, caught the lines that were dragging on the ground, turned the team around, drove back to the hay on the ground, unhitched the team, took one of the horses and rode back to the field, got help to come and load the hay, and drove fo the barn as though nothing had happened. Miss Maud is a lady- like, slight-appearing girl, and is very well edu- cated for a girl of her age. If you can find a girl of seven years old that has displayed more sand and good horse sense than she did on this occasion I will throw up the sponge. a A Deravitine Secretary.—At Lewiston, Me., yesterday, A. H. Emery was arrested on a charge of defalcation. He has held the office of permanent secretary of Manufacturers and Mechanics’ lodge. No. 62, I. O. O.

Tue Lire And kidneys are organs which it is important should be kept in good condition, and yet they are over- worked and abused by nearly everybody, until they become worn out, clogged up or diseased. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures all difficulties with these organs, rouses them to healthy action, and tones the whole digestive orgunism, . “T have been using Hood's Sarsaparilla for indiges- tion and liver trouble. It has greatly benefited me, and I think it is fully as good a medicine as claimed.” E. 8. CHESEBRO, chief engineer fire dept., Stoning- ton, Ct, N.

McKNEW, a Eloped With a Married Englishman. A London physician named Dr. Sellon has caused a sensation on the Riviera by eloping from Nice with an American girl named Ida Wilcox, aged 17, daughter of Carlos Wilcox, of Bainbridge, N.Y. The girl was staying at a boarding house at Nice and, with her mother, at the same hotel with it Mentone. The couple took a train at Ventimglia, and were arrested in Paris on Saturday. lon is a married man and is 40 years old. The girl left a note addressed to her mother in which she forgiveness. ete girl are on their way back to THE JACKSONVILLE EXPosITION ASSURED.— Ata largely attended public meeting held at Jacksonville, Fla., Monday afternoon, it was announced that the small outstanding debt of the Sub-Tropical exposition had been funded, and that the exposition would be opened as announced on February 20. About $10,000 are needed to do this. Enthusiastic speeches were made and a subscription book opened. In less than half an hour nearly $5,000 were raised in the meeting, and the balance will be secured without doubt. The exposition will be more attractive than ever. ASSAULTED AND RoppeD By a NeGro.—Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, of Danville, Va., arrived at Greensboro, N. C., on Saturday night, and a negro man at the depot volunteered to con- duct her toa boarding-house.

Consistory Postroxep.—A cablegram to the Catholic News announces the postponement of the consistory in which, it had been expected, the vacant sees of Richmond and Natchez were to have been filled. The consistory was post- poned before on account of a difference with the French government over the candidates of that country over the offices of cardinal. The trouble this time is due to the fact that the ope awaits a better understanding with the ussian government concerning the appoint- ment of bishops in the territory of the czar.
