Miss Glasea’s Dolores was superior, musically; Mr. Mark Smith made @ grave and dignified Sea King with a clear voice; Miss Kate Gilbert was a charming vil- luge maiden, plump and pretty, and every- body eise, particularly the chorus, was up to the standard. In point of scenery and costume the “Sea King” ia particularly fine, and a more beautiful setting, more brilliant costumes, a more dazzling mise en scene is rarely looked upon than is that on which the curtain falle in the last act. Again tonight, Nacioxat.—It was Marks’ International Vaudevilie Company at the National last night and it way a big audience that applauded every- thing and it was Indies and gentlemen who, when it was over, said they had never seen any- thing to equal it or had never enjoyed a per- formance more. A dozen numbers comprise the program, and Col. Marks has gone all over Europe and this country gathering together the fumous specialists of the world to constitute his entertainment. That he hag succeeded no oue who will pass an evening will deny. It is difficult to select what is best, because differ- ent specialties meet different tastes, and the finest acrobat does not always please him who secks the finest musical act, A large number of ladies were in the audience last night and their interest in this rather novel exhibition to them was plainly manifest, Again tonight. Hannis’ Bisov.—-A large audience, which filled the theater in every nook and corner, wit- nessed the initial production in this city of Harry Meredith's sensational naval melodrama entitied “A Perilous Voyage.” The scenery which is very good, represents for the most part a shipatsea and the burning of the steamer. ‘The destruction of the fort and the burning city of Hong Kong are very realistic, ‘The company isa good one in all respects, Miss Nellie Elting in the dual role of ghe pretty granddaughter of the commodore and Nicholas George, & uaval apprentice, elicited much ap- plaute.

Arnold Kiralfy’s Parisian b.l- let troupe, opened a week's engagement at this house last night before a large audience. The olio includes many performers who wre stars in their particular lines and ail combined to make one of the best variety shows seen here this season. Lester and Allon, as the two sports, received anovation. During their dance three little colored boys were introduced and went through a genuine Mobile bi to the delight ofeveryone. ‘Lhe Mystery ‘Electra,’ in which ayourg lady remains suspended in mid-air without any visible means of support, is quite effective. ‘Lhe olio is attractive. The center of interest, however, is directetl to the conclud- ing portion of the program, which is taken by Kiralfy and his ballet, He has an artistic col- lection of dancers and they gave the audience quite a treat. The Parisian dancers are models of grace, tonight.

E.Church, The advantages offered by the proposal were generally recognized by citizens, irrespective of denominational connections. As one reeult of the public presentation of the omy f the projectors thou made about €85,000 as been scribed to the fund required to bey for the site, which cost $100,000, Lt is in- tended that the site shall be paid for fe 1 citizens of Washington. ‘The action of the board of bishops in November will depend to some extent upon the action of citizens. The com- iittee of prominent business men of the city who have the subscriptions in charge have do- cided to make an effort to secure the balance of the subscriptions required before the-meet- ing of the board. AN APPEAL TO BUSINESS MEN. To this end the committee has addressed a circular letter to the business men of Washing- ton as follows: “We inclosxe herewith plan and prospectus of the National University, which itis pro- d to locate at Washington, for which a site as been procured at a cost of $100,000, About $85,000 of this amount has already been sub- scribed in Washington. and itis proposed to make an effort to raive the whole amount of the purchase money in the District of Colum- bia before going to the country at large for subscriptions for the buildings, It must be evident to all that it would greatly strengthon their appeal could they say to the country that citizens of the District of Columbia had paid for the land upon which the build- ings were to be erected. An opportunity is thus offered to us in which, by united action, our city can gain great fame and an important stimulus can be given to a worthy cause, which will, we believe, result in adding very largely to the already powerful influences which are making our city the educational center of our country and are adding to our population the very, best class of citizens, “We append a list of the names of those who have already subscribed, and beg to say that a representation of the committee will call upon you in the near future and ask you to join them in raising the £65,000 necessary to complete the amount of $100,000 in Washington, for this very worthy cause, “As there 1s no necessity for the immediate ‘use of the money the promoters suggest that bscriptions can be made payable at any time and in such installments as may be convenient to the person making the subscription, cov iug @ period of two years from July, 18 Please considers the matter carefully and give us a large snbscription.” This letter is signed by §.

Yesterday Mrs. Lloyd Vermillion, who lives on the eaft bank of the Eastern Branch about one-fourth of a mile north of the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, had a startling experience. Her husband was away from the house and Mrs, Vermillion was alone with her baby. About noon a white man almost nude, having only a shirt, appeared suddenly before her, He asked for a knife and pistol and some clothing. He said that one of the prisoners had knocked down a guard at the jail and had made his es- cape. coming over in a boat, and he was in pur- suit. Mrs. Vermillion said she had no knife, pistol or clothes, The man then went to a chest, from which he took a pair of pants and coat and at once put them on, He again de- manded a knife and pistol, and Mrs. Vermillion again refused. Then he spied a watch on the mantel. which he grabbed. Mrs. Vermillion determined that he suouldn’t have it, aud grap- led with him aud succeeded im wrenching it rom his hand. The man then leit the house and started off toward the Maryland line, It turned ont that he was a fugitive from the work house. He had stripped off the striped uniform of the work house prisoners and swam across the branch, commg to land in the vicinity of Mrs, Vermiilion’s house. Officer Marr having learned thatsome one had crossed the branch started in pursuitof the man and followed him to the District line, but failed to overtake him. The oflicer states that the flee- ing man is an extraordinary runner and jumper and that some of his jumps he afterward meas- ured were trom 10 to 12 tect. The escaped prisoner isa white man named James Ronch. He was arrested here on the 18th instant by Officers Grealy and Catter and sentenced by the Tolice Court the following day to 105 days in the work house on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and disorderly conduct, He gave his occupation as that ofa carpenter, but is said to have spent much of his life at aea, Roach is a tall, slender man and his face showed cvidence of lis having spent consider- able time in the water. At the time of his ar- reston Friday night he was under the influence of liquor and when taken to the station he was found armed with « revolver, He also had in hi ion a chisel which could easily be use jimmy to pry opena door or window and had a piece of candle in his pocket. Judge Miller heard the man's statement that he had been threatened by another man who lives in Georgetown, proof that the prisoner was a dangerous crimi- nal and gave bim the extent of the law. HOW ROACH ESCAPED. Roach exhibited considerable ingenuity in his plan to escape and had studied the details pretty well. He was one of a gang of sixty men at work under the officers, Taking off iis shoes and stockings he arranged with two other convicts that one should watch a chance and rue to take the attention of the offi¢ers und that the other should kick his shoes off the bank, He had also slipped a stone in his stocking to use as a slung shot. His fellow risoners carried out the plan and as ono ran Roach took the opportunity to run down the bauk for his shoes, carrying his improvised slung shot in his hand, Tring the weapon on beac oa tviky skiff othe betas he got nae and pi across the branch, drop; cloties on the other side,” —_—o—_ The Hebrew Day of Atonement.

Tue Stan mentioned yesterday the embar- rassed condition of the engineer departmont incident to Col, bert’s continaed sickness, Unless the colonel gets well soon or something is done the work of the municipal improvements will be greatly delayed, as no contracts ean be let until signed by ‘all three Commissioners. Meanwhile the work in the engineer depart- Ment continues to accumulate and it is evident that unless something is done to relieve mat- ters the embarrassment will increase. It was suggested today at the District building by a prominent oficial thut Congress be appealed to to change the organic act and arrange matters so as to allow one of the engineer as- sistants to xct as Engineer Commissioner dur- ing the absonce of the Engineer Commissioner. But this same official thought that it was so near the end of the session that nothing could be donc. it ix thought the matter might be arranged by the President's detailing another ofticer as Engineer Commissioner daring Col.

As thi appro- priation they will all necessarily have to be re- jected, ASKING FOR A PUBLIC PARK. Some time ago a petition was received at the District building from citizons of the District inviting the attention of the Commisxioners to the want of parks or squares for the recreation and pleasure of the public in the northern por- tion of the city. In this connection they re- quested that land on the north side of Fiorida avenue between lth and 15th streets nort! west be acquired by condemnation or purci asa public park. The land in qnestion, t +18 in its primitive state, with a growth o forest trees, afd should be ob- tained before it is devoted to wuilding par- oses: further, that this section is being densely uilt up with small homes and greatly aceds some breathing place for its increased popula- tion, The petition is signed by some promi- nent men. Capt. Rossel, wo has bad the matter in charge, today forwarded the papers in the case, with the recommendation that it be forwarded to the House committee on the District of Columbia for their consideration. ‘The captain says that the park would certainly be a great benefit to the city. but he doubts whether Congress could be iniuced to appro- priate any moncy for this purpose, RULES FOR THE FASTERN BRANCH BRIDGE. ‘The following rules and regulations prepared by Capt. Rosscil for the Eastern Branch bridge have been approved by the Commissioners: First, horses and vehicles of all kinds must not go faster than a walk, except in cases of urgent necessity; second, no fishing allowed from on top of bridge or the approaches to same; third, no loafing or lounging on the bridge or the approaches to same; fourth, no games of any kind allowed on the bridge; no stone throwing or dropping of stones on pass- ing railroad trains permitted; fifth, no persot allowed to go up or down the slopes or embank- ments at cither side of bridge; sixth, bicycle riders must go at a moderate rate of speed while on the bridge.

Edited. A good deal of amusement is being afforded members of the Brooklyn board of education through what they call the “silliness” of a few of the school principals, who have discovered that there is a great deal that is wicked in Longfellow's poem, “The launching of the Ship”"—so wicked, in fact, that they recently called upon Wm. H. Max- well, superintendent of public instruction, and urged ite omission from the list of studies, They claimed to have discovered ions of the ‘poem that should bar it from being read by children, The passages describing the launch of the ship were marked as the most objectionable, Superintendent Maxwell said to a reporter of the Sun last evening that he would not make such an idiot of himself as to recommend the withdrawal of this poem from the list of studies, As a matter of fact he said there was not in the English language a purer composition, = ws a, Noms de Plume.
