Tschiffely, at Gaithersburg, | was burned, causing a loss of about $5,000, upon which there was no insurance. At the time of the fire there was a high Wind, and it looked as if all that portion of the town would be destroyed.

Herne Broke Five Ribs While Playing at 2 New York Theater NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—James A. Herne, the well-known actor, who has been play- ing the leading character part, Nat Berry, in “Shore Acres” at the Fifth Avenue! Theater, fell twenty-seven feet last night! just as the curtain was about to fall upon | the final act. Mr. Herne suffered a fracture of five ribs, and it is feared that it will be many weeks before he will be able to resume work upon the stage. Persons who have seen “Shore Acres” will remember the stage setting for the last act. Nat Berry sits in the center of the stage, which is set to represent an old New England kitchen. He then mounts a long and rather steep stairway, at the head ef which is a door, through which he makes his exit. Mr. Herne climbed the stairway and disappeared through the door. ‘Then persons sitting well forward in the orchestra seats heard the sound of a heavy fail. Attendants behind the scenes were heard rushing about, and the curtain fell hurriedly. The actor had stepped out where there should have been a platform, but through some error the planking was not| there, and he plunged cown nearly twenty- seven feet, a sheer fall to below the level of the stage. Willing hands soon carried the injured man to his dressing room, where he lay un- til medical attendance could be secured. The first physician who arrived made a cursory examination, and found that five ribs were broken. Mr. Herne was then taken to his apart- ments, where everything possible was done to make him comfortable. The news of the accident spread through the audience before it had dispersed, and caused considerable | it is said that no actor in the| excitement. company is capable of playing Mr. Herne’s part, and his misfortune may result in tem- pborarily closing the theater. —_——_ WITHDRAWN BY POWDERLY.

Most of Them Were Sent Down for Different Terms. “John Quincy Adams,” called the clerk in Judge Kimball's court this morning and a thinly clad colored man walked to the front of the procession. “You are charged with being a suspicious character,” read the clerk. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “T ain't guilty of nothin’,” was his re- ply. Policeman Foster of East Washington arrested the negro last night because of his suspicious conduct, and when searched at the station he found on him five pawn tickets on shops in New York and Phila- delphia and several green goods circulars. The prisoner told Judge Kimball that he came here from Baltimore and attempted to account for his possession of the tickets, but Judge Kimball thought he ought to be investigated, and for that purpose he sent him down for fifteen days. “Guilty,” replied a stranger whose name was given as John A. Moss. He was ar- rested in the vicinity of Anacostia last evening and he gave the name of the Ana- — lawyer, whose name he had seen on a sign. “Iwas only going through the town,” he told the judge. “But you will have to stay with us two weeks,” said the judge, id when you get out you had better leave. Joseph Murray is another man who thought he would avoid being seen by the police by going through Anacostia, but | Policeman Reagan met him and placed him under arrest. “I was looking for the bridge to cross the river,” he said to the officer. On him the officer found a penknife, but- ton hook and several keys. “You will have to go down for two weeks,” the judge told him, “and when released you had better have some one direct you to the bridge.” Three boys, Robert Atkins, William Wil- liams and John Ryen, who were also a: rested in Anacostia, where, the police say, = gy “.. “We live in St. Petersburg, Florida,” said William Williams, speaking for him- self and Ryan. “I'm a silk worker,” said Ryan. “But there are no silk manufacturers in St. Petersburg,” said the judge. “How did you learn the business?” it,” he re- “You don’t have to learn You can learn all about it in half plied. an_hour.

Failure of the Populists in Virginia Has Disinclined the Rep te an A Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 24.—Two months ago there was a strong sentiment among many, if not most, of the North Caro- lina republicans in favor of fusion in 1sv4 with Populists. The Novem- ber election has brought about a change of view which is remarkable. So great is this change that it is now difficult to find a republican who is for anything else than “a straight ticket.” One of the brightest and most active republicans said to your correspondent: “1 will confess that 1 was an earnest advocate of fusion with the populists in this state, and that I think We ought to have fused last year, but now affairs have changed, and since the repub- lican victories this month 1 consider the party to be rehabilitated in North Caro- lina. The chief trouble which I see before us is the selection of a state chairman. Our present one is not suited. He repre- sents only a part of the party. With a man not entangled in the interminable quarrels between the ex-chairman’s fac- tion and that headed by the present chair- man we have plain sailing, in my opinion. 1 now favor a straight ticket and the simplest sort of a platform. 1 think ‘Mc- Kiniey and Protection’ wiil be the republi- can rallying cry in North Carolina. ‘Lhe cnet cause for this newly developed sentiment agaist joining forces with the Populisis is the poor showing the latter made in the Virginia election. ‘ine popu- list orators and newspaper men who went from this state to ald in the Virginia cam- paign declared again and again that their party was sure to be victor. It appears that, talking with one anotner, they said they stood no sort of a show. The republi- cans are now inclined to ridicule them and baa pretensions and term them “feather legs.” ‘The populists, for some reason, appear to count on a division among the democrats. Every day they can be heard asking the question: ‘Do the democrats indorse Mr. Cleveland's views?’ They then assert that not one-fourth those in North Carolina do indorse him, and upon this they base their assertion that there will be a split. If there is a split they hope to gain by it. Most of the populist abuse is showered upon Cleveland. He is denounced for Pressing silver repeal, characterized as a bulldozer of Senators, a pampered servant of Wall street, &c., and this week the pop- ulist organs in the state are attacking him for his alleged Hawaiian policy of reseating the queen. No speech do they make with- out bringing in Cleveland. The populists have the alliance in their clutch and are working it for all it is worth, As soon as an alliance county meeting di: poses of its business a speaker is intro- duced, and these often begin by saying: “Are you benefited by the demonetization of silver? If not, will you not vote here- after with whichever party is most Mxely to remonetize it? Two parties now have a bad record along that line. Which one will you choose?’ Then the hearers cry out, either.”* Hon. F. M. Simmons, the chairman of the democratic state executive committee, thinks the populist movement is losing ground in this state, and that some of the leaders confess that they are weakening. He thinks that the decline of the move- | ment here is concurrent with that in the western states, where the party seems in- clined to suffer a change and become a “free coinage!’ party. Alliance indorsements of Senator Vance are found in the columns of the populist Papers. These are adopted by the county alliances. The question arises whether those who adopt them are democrats or Populists. Notable Meetin: What is said to have been a citizens’ mass meeting in Northampton county, the home of Senator Ransom, has.caused the greatest Political sensation of the autumn in this state. It hi for some time been the opinion that the relations between Senators Vance and Ransom have been strained, and that they are something like cross purposes. Both Senators have strong op- position. It is a statement of a well-known fact to make the latter statement. Many of -Vance's former supporters have given him the cold shoulder, while on the other hand many influences are at work against Ransom. These tacts give force to the Northampton meeting. ‘the latter was not partisan, or at least the call for it so stated. In the latter the citizens were asked to express an opinion on the silver legisla- tion of Congress, and to thank Vance for his course and for his able fight for silver. Ransom was an early arrival at the meet- ing. B. S. Gay, chairman of the demo- cratic county committee, presided, and the committee on resolutions contained two prominent democrats. This committee re- ported ten resolutions, two of which were as follo “That we cordially and heartily approve and indorse the course of those Senators | and members of the House of Representa- tives, be they from the north, east, south or west, who opposed the unconditional re- peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- | man act. “That we are truly glad that our pa- triotic and able Senator Vance and seven Carolina voted against the repeal. For so doing they deserve and have our indorse. ment and approbation.” Other resolutions declare more money ts needed, and that silver must be part of that money; that silver and gold must be coined at the proper ratio fixed by Con- The concluding resolution was as follows: “We Know not how to retreat from this | position. We have supported it by our| platforms and votes and advocacy too long | to retreat. We hope and belleve that the} friends of silver will, in the next political campaign, beat a charge and make a charge that will cause every patriot west | _ south of the Delaware river to fall into ine."" These resolutions were warmly sup- ported by a democrat, and then the sensa- tion of the day occurred. Senator Ransom made a very impressive speech, and it was evident that the resolutions ‘had greatly | nettled him and that he considered them | an untimely and unfust censure of his course in supporting the President and the reveal of the Sherman bill. The Senator aakel the chairman a question. to. which Mr. Gay repited and was applauded. Sen- ator Ransom, at this applause. waved his hand toward the audience and declared that he did not exnect any better of memhers of “Gideon's Rand.” This name ts given the populists who helonged to President's financial policy, and annealing to the dem- orrats present to stand by the administra- tion. give It a fair trial and not act hastily In conclusion, he sald this meetine and the democratic party. and bv peach him and Cleveland sald he was ag strone a and for that verv resolutions adonted implication tm- Chairman Gav democrat aq ever, reason wanted theee He was Iherally ne nlanded.

Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Catherine McCarthy, widow of the inte Charles F, McCarthy, were held this morn- ing at St. Matthew's Catholic Church, cor- her 1§th and H streets. As in evidence cf the high regard and esteem in which this lady was heid, the church was weil filled with people, who came to pay the last mark ef respect to her memory. The congrega- tion included many of the older inhabitants of Washington, friends and associates of the deceased in the fifty years during which she has lived within a stone's throw of the church where her funeral was held ihis morning. A large number of those who came to the chutch also accompanied the body to the cemetery to participate in the last rites over the remains at the grave. The funeral party entered the church at 10 o'clock, the casket containing the re- mains borne by Messrs. L. Mangan, Wm. McGuire, Thos. Myers, Conlon and McDon- nell. The top of the casket was covered with floral tributes from sorrowing friends of the deceased. Following the body came the members of the family and the more immediate friends who had assembled at the house. The casket was placed upon the bier in front of the altar, with lighted can- dies at the end and lighted candles on the altar. Father Kervick then celebrated mass, while the choir sang Walters’ mass for the dead. At the conclusion of this impressive ceremony Father Kervick advanced to the chancel rail and delivered a sermon. It is consolation, he said, when brought face to face with death to find that sometimes death is not so terrible after all. Of course, to those who live only for this world and its pleasures death is awful, but for the Chris- tian, such a one whose mortal remains were then before him, it is another thing. To the Christian death is but the portal of eternal life, that dark portal through which ail bested pass to enter the beatific state be- yond. After all, life is but a sojourning place, @ place through which we pass on our way from the God from whom we came to the God to whom we go. Religion alone can rob death of its terrors, and to one who has lived a good life and followed the teachings of holy church it has no terrors. Father Kervick then pronounced a eulogy upon the character of the deceased, and ex- horted his hearers to follow the example set by this aged lady, who, although seventy years old, would arise before day- break in the morning to attend mass and perform her duties to the church. At the conclusion of the services the re- mains were carried to Mt. Olivet cem- etery for interment. —— LILIUOKALANI’S CONFIDENCE. She Fixed on Tuesday as the Date of Her Restoration. Honolulu newspaper correspondents have invariably noted the perfect faith which the queen entertains of her ultimate restora- tion. To such an extent did this certainty go, that she several times fixed the exact date. A prominent merchant of San Fran- cisco yesterday received a letter from his Honolulu representative, in which this cer- tainty of the queen is again clearly shown. The correspondent states that the queen has given orders for full train gowns for the ladies of her court and a magnificent purple robe for herself. These gowns are to be used at the restor- ation, which, the letter states, has been the letter fixed for Tuesday. “New uniforms,” C atag! on to say, “ have been made for e queen's guards, and everything is ready for an im- posing display when the provisional govern- ment has to step down and out. The mili- tary companies continue to drill, and the city Is on a war footing. On the men-of- liberty has been stopped, and the indi- cations are that something will drop in a few days. Admiral Irwin is ready to act at a moment's notice, and, judging from what we have seen of him, there will be no monkeying when he makes a move. If the United States has determined to restore the queen, the provisional government will be powerless to prevent it. Everybody is in @ state of suspense, and all we can do ts to await development SMALL NUMBER AT BENNING. The Biting Wind Pre so = Large Attendance at the Races.

THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.'C, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 24, 1893—TWELVE PAGES. FINANCE AND TRADE. | Wall Street Speculating on the New Tariff Bill. Beats Disappointed in Their Efforts. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Speculation again reverted to the professional element, and an interchanging of stocks around the room made what there was of today’s mar- ket. The opening reflected gains ranging from 1-4 to 11-2 per cent, and with few exceptions prices were well sustained throughout the session. London was higher, with a strong under- tone and no important orders for our se- curities. There are a variety of guesses on the tariff question circulating for fact that have led to considerable manipulation of prop- erties likely to be affected by any change in existing revenue laws. Shrewd operators regard any radical change as improbable, and predict a satisfactory solution of the great legislative problem. Sugar was held in check by the fear that some directly adverse clause would be in- serted in the bill which would materially decrease the earning capacity of that com- 95 1-4, it reacted under realizing and some short selling to 937-8, and was less active than yesterday. General Electric recovered from the hard drive made at the close of yeesterday’s business and gained 1 per cent to 35 5-8. Considerable long steck has been sold in the last two days, which has contributed to the success of the short interest, who have found the property especially sus- ceptible to their mode of attack. In the; regular list Northwest was conspicuously | strong, gaining 1 1-2 per cent to 108 on liberal purchases. Reading gained 1 per cent to 21 3-8 and Western Union was active at an advance of 1 1-4 per cent to 3. The resistance in the general list was discouraging to the shorts, who found it extremely hard to depress prices or in- crease the floating supply of stock. The dullness has not changed the belief in higher prices, though naturally delaying the process. The market for sterling and continental bills was slightly lower owing to a decrease in the demand from remitters. Arbitrage houses did comparatively little business and attribute the falling off in rates to a too rapid and unwarranted advance. Posted rates were: Cables, 48§ 1-4; de- mand, 485 3-4, and sixty-day bills, 483 1-2. Money on call loaned at 11-2 per cent and time loans were in Httle demand, even at the lowest previously quoted rates. The clearing house statement shows ex- changes, $83,634, balances, $4,890,633, and the subtreasury’s debit balance, $686,- 178. St. Paul’s earnings for the third week this month decreased $65,000, but had no effect on the price of that stock. The dividend of 11-2 per cent in bond scrip will probably be formally declared by the directors of the Chicago Gas Com- ad at a meeting of the board next Tues- y. The market stiffened up smartly around delivery hour, and prices advanced to the highest point for the day. Final sales were made at a slight dis- count from best figures, but the market clcsed with unmistakable evidence of latent strength.
