Avnavon's.—“Erminie,” bright and tuneful in its musie, with opportunity for come good comic acting and affording scope for magnifi- cent stage effects and gorgeous costumes, was the attraction at Albaugh's last night, and it was “the first offense” of the Pauline Hall Opera Company in this city. Miss Hall herself isa beautiful woman, and hasa pleasing and well cultivated voice. She has sung the title role here before, but never has she appeared to better advantage than last night. Her pop- ularity was attested by the warmth of her re- ception, and the emphatic encore of her | “Iullaby” song proved the appreciation of her | voeai She costumed the beauti- fully. Messrs. Drew and Temple as the two thieves were as humorous as could be desired, and furnished a large amount of fun for the audience. The rest of the company are good, and the chorus is large and efficient. The piece is hauslsomely staged, and the whole per- ormance thoroughly enjoyable. Again to- night. Nartoxar.—A fine Monday night audience | caught “The Burglar,” not only in the act, but in four acts, at th ional last night. "This ~Burglar.” by the way, is a comedy drama by Mr. Gus Thomas and it makes its second ap- pearance in Washington on this oceasion. It is & queer sort of » comedy-drama, too, as come- dies-drama go, with nearly as much comedy in the drama as there is drama in the comedy. Witham Lewis, the burglar, is done by Mr. A. 8. Lipman in’ good strong style, reaching a climax in the third act, which is really very fine. Little Gertie Homan does Editha, a child's part, with the skill and confidence of a veteran, and though some of her work is in the realm of the improbable, not to say the impossible, she | does itall artistically and beautitully. "Mr. Harry Corson Clarke, as Edward Bainbridge, develops a talent for comedy which he might turn to great advantage in a wider field.

Keaway‘s.—By far the most entertaining and instructive variety show seen here this season was presented at Kernan’s last night to a crowded house. After an exceptionally fine olio, in which the old-time favorites, McIntyre and Heath, excelled themselves, the De Gray brothers were introduced with some interesting experiments in hypnotism. ‘The operator, in @ brief address, detailed the history of hypno- nd explained what it was. He then intro- his brother and subject, a slender young of average height, aud in the usual mes- meric manner placed him under the intluence. With « long ueedle and thread he completely sewed up the subject’s cheeks aud ran a huge hat pin through the fleshy part of the arm. Several doctors were on the stage and watched the performance closely. ‘The subject's chest was then displaced, as was also the ueck. Sev- eral persons, quite overcome by this, left the house, Lut the operator explained that the sub- ject was totally oblivious of everything. ‘The siate of catalepsy was then shown, the subject becoming so rigid that five men sat on his body, placed between two chairs, with the head and feet only touching.

The report of the grand jury made at the close of the labors yesterday afternoon em- braced the large number of sixty-eight indict- ments, some of which being original cases, in which the parties have not been arrested, are not made public. Among them was one against Edward H. Horner of 88 Wall street, New York, charged with violating the postal laws by mail- ing lottery cireulars; also one James D.

Mr. W. Calvin Chase presided and Mr. W. H. Jones acted as secretary. On motion of Mr. Jones the club decided to attend the emancipation exercises at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Thursday, April 16. Mr. Chase in introducing ex-Senator Bruce spoke of him as haying “‘a record which isan honor to the American negro.” ‘MR. BRUCE'S TALK. Mr. Bruce in beginning his speech congratu- lated the club upon its name of Harrison and Morton. He reviewed the history of political parties and gave instances of what he charac- terized as the uacy of democratic judj ments at perry in the history of fhe country. He said the Harrison administration is firm, ressive, sagacious and impartial, it stands for popular education, free and fair elections and the equal rights of all classes of America citizens. COLORED MEX IX OFFICE. Referring to appointments to office he said: “There isa laudable desire among all classes of Americans to occupy positions of trust and honor. The colored people of the country are not exceptions to this general rule, nor have their claims in this regard been overlooked. It is a well-known fact that a greater number of colored men fhold official positions under the present administration than under any of its predecessors and yet the administration is but two years old. To the credit of the President and to the credit of the colored people the selves, be it snid, that these appointments have not been made because of the color or race of the individual receiving them, but because of their merit undcapacity. Another fact worthy of note is that not a single colored man holding 4 presidential office under this administration— not one as far as I am advised, and | have taken some pains to inform myself in this regard— has shown by his conduct, personal or oiticial that he didn't freely appreciate the dignity and responsibility of his trust. ‘TRE DISTRICT MILITIA. “What about the militia?” called out one of Mr. Bruce's auditors. “Oh, yes, the mil said Mr. Bruce, ‘well, now, that isa question which I prefer not to disctiss to night. It is one of the settled ques- tions, and so settled that the four colored com- |r will remain as a permanent part of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, The gentlemen constituting the committee who called on the President recently in the interest of these troops can tell you how the President in asingle sentence—a sentence which is worth to become historical—settled that question.” voice: arrison is all right!” “Yes,” went on Mr. Bruce, “and the colored militia’ is all right, too. Instead of disband- ment, it stands tonight upon the same footing as the other District militia. He approved the republican tariff measures ay wise and said few men even among the op- ponents of the republican party were reckless enough to deny the advantages that would re- sult to the country at large from reciprocity. He spoke hopefully of the progress of the col- ored people wince emancipation, both intelleet- ually and materially. Mr. J. R. Ballard made s short address com- plimenting Mr. Bruce for the stand that he has taken in the interest of the colored race. Addresses were also made by Messrs. A. St. A. Smith, W. H. Jones and others. ania aay Assembly Church Meeting. The annual meeting of the Assembly Presby- terian Church, of which Rey. Geo. 0. Little is pastor, was held last evening. The reports re- ceived from the various organizations show the church tg be in a most gratifying condition, both spirftually and financially. The contri- butions for benevolence amounted to 1,100 and for current expenses and improvements, £7,700. During the year the interior of the church has been greatly improved by putting in stained glass windows and the removal of the organ from the rear of the church to a re- cess back of the pulpit. Beginning the new year with an increased number of pew holders and larger congregations the churci gives promise of continued prosperity and greater usefulness. Walter 8 McArthur, Jas. H. Purdy, L.

Arthur’ Burgess, who was introduced as an ex-convict, was at the head of the procession, and he was charged with profanity. Policeman Heller told the court who the risoner was. “‘And,” said Clerk Harper, “he's n arrested for almost ing.” Burgess, who looked like he had been on a protracted spree, told his own story and said: “Judge, Thad been drinking and, to tell you the ruth, Idon't remember exactly what I said.’ * peerhite t are a rite judge, as im| afine or days on the farm. m Rew, an aged man, whose appear- gnce was caleuiated to shot ‘the ‘public, when e appea: ‘on the streets, was charged wit being # tagrant. His plea was guilty and he was given s home for three months. SENT TO THE HOBPITAL TO RECUPERATE. “He's in the city,” said Policeman Maddox, “looking for a pension, and he has the grip.” His remarks were directed to an old man named Abraham Thorwell, whose home is in Virginia. The officer met him on the street yesterday. i d_ the officer took him to his the court gave him thirty days in the hospital to recuperate. 2 Laura Delaney, a colored vagrant, admitted that she was guilty of the charge preferred, but she complained that Policeman Williams ‘iminated against her. “He arrested me and another gal for fightin’,” said Layra, “and sho's jest as bad as She was sent down for ninety days. HIS NAME WAS DENNIS. “God knows I ain't guilty,” answered Dennis Buchanan, an old colored man who was ar- Taigned for disturbing a religious meeting in the Union Mission Church. The testimony showed that he was guilty. “Have vou been drinking?” inquired the court of the prisoner. “Well, jedge, to tell you de trufe, I had jes’ one drink.” “Five dollars.” ALWAYS BEGGING. A young man giving his namoas Richard Lewis was charged with being a common bog- gar and Policeman Ceinar appeared against him. “This man,” said the officer, “is always in need and he never fails to have a dead mother or sister to bury. ‘That is always his excuse for begging, and he isso slick at it that it is hard to catch him.” “Not guilty,” was the Prigoner's plea. He said he was 4 sailmaker by trade and came here from Boston, but was unable to get work. He was sent down for thirty days.

The sentence was $8 or nine days. “That's right,” was Glarence Chase's re- sponse to a charge of violating a District ordi- nance and the penalty imposed was $5. John Jones and his brother Jim were fined @5ench for disorderly conduct, but neither of them had the money. Edward Swales aud Marshall Williams, colored boys, were arraigned for creating a disturb- ance in P street ulley. ‘The former said guilty, and the latter said not guilty, putting emphasis on the “not.” Judge Kimball sat down hard on two colored persons, William Dorsey and Emma Ford, who were shown to have engaged in a midnight brawl in the alley near the 3d street branch of the census office. Policeman Kimmel and Special Officer Fergu- son gave evidence against them, and instead of the ordinary tine of $5 the judge imposed twice that amount. Richard Burch and Edward Dixon ste forward, said guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct, heard the judge say “Five dollars” and stepped back for fifteen days. prcaiie ates KERNAN'S THEATER. That and Other Property Not Sold Because of Insufficient Bids—Other Property Sold. Yesterday there were several pieces of prop- erty offered at public sale which attracted a large crowd in the vicinity of the property to be sold. Three of the pieces were corner lots, fronting on the square opposite ‘Tux Star office, which is to be the site of the new city post office. The commission ap- pointed to condemn this property have not completed their work and, in view of the testi- mony given before the commission relative to the value of the land these auction sales in ad- joining squares were regarded with considera- le interest. ‘The property first offered was the Kernan ‘Theater property, at the northeast corner of lithand C streets, and that on the southeast corner of the same streets. There was a guod- sized crowd in this locality at 4 o'clock, when the sale began. Mr. Hamilton, « member of the post office commission, was there as well as several of the owners and the representatives of owners of property in the post office square. ‘The auctioneer, Mr. Thomas Dowling, offered first the poperty at the southeast corner of llth and C streets, comprising 11,905 square fect of ground. It was stated that the present improvements yielded a rental of #130 per month. ‘The_bid- ding started at $2 per foot and reached &3.75, when it was apparent no higher bid would bé made. Then Mr. John W. Pilling, on behalf of himself and Mr. Thomas E. Waggaman, the owners of a five-sixth interest in the property, announced to the crowd that they would sell wir interest at the rate of $5 per foot. Mrs. ‘aulfield, the owner of the other interest, it was stated, wanted a higher price, which it was announced subsequently was £8 per foot.

President Strayer had pro- posed a division of the conference into two parts and the ition was defeated by a Yote of 70 to 19. One of President Strayer’s strongest arguments was for more supervisory influence, something impossible in such a large conference undez the present system. ‘The ne- cessity for this supervision he endeavored to ow. 2 PRESIDENT STRATER'S ALLEGATIONS. “Tt may not be known to you,” said he, “that ins portion of this district there is a well- organized plan which is being operated for the @isintegration and disorganization of the Methodist Protestant church. A scheme is working to destroy our church by getting our oung men out of our pulpite by offers of salaries than they now receive, and this plan fails rumors are started’ that they want to leave their churches, but the churches to which they desire to go will not have them. Thus the attempt is made to break down the confidence of a congregation in its pastor. I will read you a letter written by a man whose name was once on the roll of this conference to one of our young clergymen, and is only one of s number df the same kin “The letter runs: ‘Dear Brother: I have been informed that some, time last, year, you con templated leaving the Methodist Protestant church and entering the ministry of another denomination. ‘Therefore, I take the liberty of inditing to you this letter.” I desire to say sim- ply that if you, like myself, have discovered the weakness of the Methodist Protestant system, and especially the absurdity of mutual rights as applied to the practices of the churches in the Maryland annual conference and of the con- ference itself, and desire to enter the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church because you believe that that church will afford you greater facilities for usefulness in the Redeemer’s cause, you would be cordially received into the Wilmington conference, We are in need of men in our district. Several charges are being sup- plied by local preachers, the charges paying From £850 to £400. The presiding eller of out district is looking for a good unmarried man to take charge of an important work. He asked me to recommend to him an available man. I can secure this place for you. With this I send you x copy of the last minutes of our confer- ence. Kead carefully the statistical reports and notice the increase in value of church prop- erty and members during the past year. if you desire to correspond with me about this matter you can do so without danger of having your confidence betrayed.’” Continuing, President Strayer said: “If we are to guard against such insidious work as this must have extra supervision, and this super- vision can only be had by having the confer- ence divided.” ‘The conference was very indignant over the disclosures made by the president, but it would not agree to division. Ata later stage of the proceedings the Rev. J. T. Murray of this city spoke in behalf of the work of the board of ministerial education. Rev. L. W. Bates of Georgetown thought that all ministers receiving over $500 per annum should contribute 1 per cent and all re- ceiving less than 7500 one-half per cent to the fund for superannuated clatmants, but the con- ference disagreed with him. eg GEORGETOWN.

BBR President Hurt of the Washington and| B,,8 B BI Georgetown Railroad Company had » confer- ence with the Commissioners this morning with reference to the new cable road. The company is endeavoring to reduce to # minimum all of the dangerous places along the line. One of the places to be feared and one which the company endeavored to obliterate by an act of Congress allowing the road to continue up 14th street to H, thence east along H to 14th to the regular tracks, is that portion of 14th street betweor New York avenue and H street where the Metro- politan Railroad Company and the “Wash- ington and Georgetown road Company run on the same tracks. The act did not pass. President Hurt presented 4 plan to the ‘Commissioners this morning which will greatly diminish the chances of ac- cident. His plan is to put the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown railroad on the west side of the street and put the tracks of the Metropolitan railroad on the east side. By such an arrangement the Washington and Georgetown railroad would cross the tracks of the Metropolitan railroad at but one point—H atreet—instead of at two points, as at present. ‘The matter was discussed at length by the Com- SECOND SEASON.
