The Electric Railroad Power House Approaching Completion—Gen- eral News of Interest. Yesterday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock fire was discovered in the stable in the rear of Mr. Willlam Duncan’s house, in the city alms house lare. The stable was com- pletely destroyed, with its contents, con- sisting of about four tons of hay, a buggy, two. carts and a fine four-year-old race horse, “‘Ace of Spades.” When The Star reporter arrived on the scene strenuous ef- torts were being made to save the dwelling house, which was only a short distance from the burning stable to the south. The wind was blowing terrifically from the northwest, which was, indeed, fortunate, for if it had been blowing from the south- west the house would certainly have caught, When seen by The Star man Mr. Duncan was unable to say what his loss would be, though he estimated it at about $1,500. ‘There was no insurance on either the stable or its contents. Non-Union Workmen Employed. It is understood that the bricklayers’ | work on the power house of the Alexandria, | Wasiington and Mt. Vernon electric rail- way, at Four-Mile Run, is being done by non-union workmen, brought here from Philadelphia, and that the building will be completed by them. It will be remembered that the Bricklayers’ Union ordered their men to quit work cn the building on ac- count of th: Jorg hours they were required to work. Three Philadelphia brigklayers were added to the force yesterday. The main bu‘lding of the power house will be ready to top off in three or four days. Fanerals of Well-Known People. The remains of Mrs. Nannie Craig, wife of Mr. Wm. Hart, and daughter of the late Robert Burchell of this city, who died in Taltimore a day cr two ago, were brought to this city yesterday and interred in the Preebyterian cemetery. Rev. Theron H. and the Rev. Mr. Vance of Balt!more ducted the funeral services, which were tended by a large number of friends of the deceascd. . The funeral of Mrs. John McCuen, whose death was mentiored in The Star, took place from her fate home on lower Prince street yesterday evening, and was largely atterded. Rev. P. P. Phillips conducted the funeral a rvices. The funeral of Miss Mary Gray took place yesterday from her late home, the residence of Mr. R. T. Lucas. A large number, of the friends of the deceased at- terded. Rev. F. T. Benson conducted the fur eral cervices. Police Court Proceedings.

O8SSO8 GOSOSOGSO SOO 80008 O50S OOOSO9O0000 @ Mantell presents Dumas’ powerful drama “The Corsican Brothers,’ together with all the scenery, costumes, tricks and weird me- chanical effects as used in the original New York peoduction. In “The Husband,” which Mr. Mantell presents Wednesday afternoon and night, he assumes the role of a naval captain, and a fine piece of stage business is where Lefevre and De Vigny engage in 4 duel that can only end with the death of cne of them, and pass tn their strife through the doors of the reception room, where the fight began, and end their strug- gle out of sight of the audience, who never- theless sit in breathless silence, waiting for the reappearance of the victor. When Man- tell, as Capt. Lefevre, returns, the long- Grawn breath of relief that is heard, from the front of the house, is truth positive of the actor’s skill, the artist's power. Thurs- day and Friday nights Mr. Mantell pre- serts that beautiful costumed play “Mon- bars." Mr. Mantell has surrounded himself with a company second to none traveling, comprising such artists as B. T. Ringgold, HE, A. Eberle, Willis Granger, Frank Smith, Richard Malchier, Jobn O'Neil, Edgar Mac- Gregor, John Warner, Miss Edith Chapman (lately -with Warde & James), Kate Lester, Eleanor Merron and Jessica Miner. Mr. Mantell is popular in the city, and de- servedly, too, and the outlook for the week ig a most favorable one. Henry Irving.—The forthcoming engage- mert in Washington, at Allen’s Grand Op- era House, of Henry Irving, Miss Ellen Ter- ry and the London Lyceum Company is certain to be productive of the largest de- gree of pleasure to the art lovers of this city. In all the tours in this ccuntry of thig famous coterie of players, this being the fifth (four of which, including the pres- ent, have been under the direction of Messrs. Abbey Schoeffel and Grau), Henry Irving has never offered a grander list of plays or works of more sumptuous beauty and fitness of production than appears in the announcements for this city. Manager Allen announces the productions of this engagement, the week of January 13, as follows: Monday, January 13, and at the cnly matinee of the week, Saturday, Jan- uary 18, Shakespeare's “The Merchant of Venice.” Herein Henry Irving appears in his unquestionably great assumption of Shylock, &nd Mies Ellen Terry's delight- ful vivacity will be happily shown in the role of Portia. Mcreover, the beautiful act V, 80 generally omitted, is given in the Irv- ing performances. Tuesday night, January 14, a double bill ia to Le offered. It will consist of the new one-act proverb-comedy, “Journeys End in Lovers Meeting,” by John Oliver Hobbes (Mrs, Craigie), in’ which Miss Ellen Terry will enact a role of bril- Nant effectivencss, Lady Soupire. Follow- ing the comedy Charles Reade’s adaptation of M. M. Moreau, Giraudin et Delacour’ Le Courier de Lyons, “The Lyons Mail, will afford Henry Irving the onportunity of @ great dual assumption in the characters cf Dubosc and Lesurques. The presenta- tion for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, January 15, 16 and 17, will be the first production in this city of J. Comyns Carr’s beautiful idyllic play, “King Ar- thur,” the most sumptuous stage represen- tation Henry Irving has ever made, besides being a work of rare poetic beauty and ro- mantic interest. Saturday night, January 18, the closing performance will also be a double bill, and one of splendid note. The first play will be the famous author, Dr. A. Conan Doyle's, one-act sketch, in which the writer shows as never better his mar- yelous analytical power of characterization, entitlsd “A Story of Waterloo.” It affords Henry Irving a supreme opportunity for great character acting as an aged Water- loo veteran ahd pensioner, Corporal Greg- ory Brewster. This will be followed by Leopold Lewis’ adaptation from the story, “The Polish Jew,” written by Erckmann- Chatrian, entitled “The Bells,” with Mr. Irving in his great character of Matthias. ‘This repertoire, surely, will find a satisfac- tery response from the wishes of all who Patronize the great in art. Sale of seats will ecmmence Tuesday. William H. Crane.—Comedian William H. Crane takes possession of the stage at the Lafayette <5 Theater next week, and throughout his stay will present Martha Morton’s comedy, “His Wife's Father,” which had its initial production in this city last season, and scored an instantaneous success. As will be remembered, the story of the play deals with an old man’s over- weening affection for his only daughter. She marries, and the old man turns over his business to: his son-in-law, intending to devote the remainder of his life to his daughter’s happiness. It never occurs to him that her happiness has passed out of his hands, and in the most good-natured but exasperating manner pcssible he inter- poses in all of the young people's domestic affairs. Mr. Crane will, of course, be seen as the fussy, testy old father, and his por- trayal of it is credited with being one of the best characterizations he has given the stage in recent years. Miss Annie O'Neill will be the daughter, Nell. Mr. Edwin Ar- den, a former star and a newcomer to the Crane forces, will be the young husband, and Miss Eleanor Barry will be seen as the widow, Mrs. Canary. Mr. Joseph Wheelock, jr, will be the Ferdinand Lang- don, and Mr. Percy Brooke will be the old servant, Matt. The others in the cast will be George F. DeVére, William Boag, E. D. Tyler, Miss Maude Carlisle, Miss Dallas Tyler, Mrs, Kate Denin Wilson and Gus. V. DeVere. The assurance is given that the play will be handsomely staged. Sousa’s Band Concert.—Sousa’s “King Cotton” scored an enthusiastic success on its first appearance on the program at Man- hattan Beach. It is full of the composer's strong individuality, bubbling over with in- fectious melodies, and exquisite in rhythm. By many it is pronounced the greatest march Sousa has ever written, and it ranks just another step higher in the musical de- velopment of the “March King.” John Philip Sousa will give a concert tomorrow evening at the Lafayette Square. The news of his coming always arouses enthusiasm among the thousands who have learned to look upon his band as the representative organization of its kind, and Sousa’s msrches as the national marches of Amer- ica. He will be heard in a grand program, and two gifted young artists come as the solcists of the present tour. They are Miss Myrta French, a soprano of beautiful voice and superior method,and Miss Currie Duke, the daughter of Gen. Basil Duke, a violin- ist of ‘ine technical skill and emotional power: This concert will be the opening of Scevsa’s transcontinental tour, which will Jest until next summer, and Mr. Sousa will be honored with the presence of the Grid- iron Clab, who will attend in a body. National TheaterGeorge Edwardes’ London Comic Opera Company, in W. 8. Gilbert’s “His Excellency,” will be the at- —— at the National Thea’ week. Academy of Music.—Sandow, the man, and the Trocadero Vaudevilles will Academ: hold the boards at the y of Music next week. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater._Sam. T. Jack's latest and greatest comedy success, “My Uncle From New York,” will be the rext attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Thea- ter. This attraction comes vouched for by tne leading journals of Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, where ft has recently achieved great success, playing to crowded houses, both at matinee and evening per- formances. “My Uncle” will be produced by the original cast, headed by Phyllis Ruffell and that sterling comedian, Harry Montague. During the action of this very amusing burletta many novel specialties by the leading artists of the vaudeville stage will be offered. As this company ts an all- round good one, it can doubtless be counted on te duplicate the success which has at- tended its production elsewhere. The Damrosch Opera Company.—The suc- cess of the Walter Damrosch German Opera Company in Chicago an@ the other western and southern cities already vicited during the Past month has been triumphal beyond ail question. Brilliant audiences have filled the auditoriums at very performance, and Mr Damrosch can well feel proud of the artistic and financial result of his newly inaugurated Season. Never, says the press, has there been more enthusiasm accorded an operatic organization than that which has been bestowed upcn the great galaxy of world-famous singers brought to America by Walter Damrosch. Every promise has been more than fulfilled. His artists are truly wonderful, his chorus made up of young and good looking people, with volces, while the orchestra, well, it is the best orchestra for opera m America, and it is doubtful if there is any better in Europe. If such praise is given this great army of singers, then Washington can prepare for a great feast of opera at Allen's Grand Opera House beginning on January 30. And it is to be hoped that Mr. Damrosch will have no reason for complaint for cominz. ‘The repertoire that is to be given here will include “‘Tanmhauser,” “ Walkure,” “Siegfried” and “Die Meistefsinger.” This repertoire wili bring out all the good sing- ers in the company. A subscription sale by mail only for boxes, and orchestra and or- chestra circle is now open, and for this sale a reduction will be made. Boxes for the season will be $125 and $175, and the first floor seats, $16 and $14, and orders can now be sent to Mr. Edw. H. Allen and will be filled in the order of receipt. Yvette Guilbert.—It is now positively an- nounced that the sensation of the day In amusement circles, Yvette Guilbert, under the management of Mr. Ted D. Marks, will be at Metzerott Music Hall Monday even- ing, January 20. On this occasion the Paris- ian “Divette” will sing some of her that have made her famous all over the world. Her programme will be made up of nine of her most fetching numbers. Among them is the one in which she is inimitable. It is called C’ a fait toujours plaisir. This is the song that ts setting New York wild, and every evening, in fact, every time she sings it, Yvette is recalled no less than a dozen times. It is taken from the operetta of “La Femme a Narcisse.” In order to make this tour and make it-possible for other cities to hear her, Yvette Guilbert has postponed her European reappearance, which will give her just ten days in Amer- ica. She opens in Paris February 11. She is described as being an artist to her finger tips. She Is magnetic, quick and enormous- ly expressive. The peculiarity of her per- formance is the fact that she does not alone never have so many prominent people been seen in an audience as at the Olympia. It is the same thing in Paris and London, she catches on with her French songs as well as her English ones, and to hear her sing “Linger Longer Loo” and “Her Golden Hair ‘Was Hanging Down Her Back” is a revela- tion. Yvette will be supported by a regu- lar concert company of first-class artists. Her performances are “chic,” and will be a rovelty just as she fs. January 19 Yvette Guilbert will sing at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. This will be her last appearance in New York, and a special program has been arranged. She will be assisted by the principal operatic artists of Messrs. Abbey and Grau’s Grand Opera Company. Aside from this, at the charita- ble entertainment to be given at the Hotel Waldorf, January 16, for which ten dollars per seat will be charged, Yvette Guilbert is the bright particular star. Veerhoff's Gallery.—Next week Hubert E. De Lorme’s wonderful painting,““The Black- smith,” will be exhibited at Veerhoff's gal- lery on F street. This work has been warm- ly praised by art critics in other cities, both for-its remarkable drawing and for the striking coloring. It has been viewed by thousands in the principal cities of this country, and there is no doubt that the art lovers in Washington will eagerly embrace the opportunity of gazing upon a painting of such masterly treatment. “David Garrick.”"—The next performance of the Carroll Institute Dramatic Club will take place at the Lafayette Square Opera House just before Lent, and wif! consist of the three-act Grama, “David Garrick,” and the one-act sketch, “Barbara.” The work of this club has been of a high order, and it is expected that the coming performance will enhance the reputations of the young ladies and gentlemen who compose it. ‘The Ice Palace.—From every indication it would seem that the ice palace at Conven- tion Hall will be the greatest success of the year. The great amount of interest which is being taken in the prospect both by those who skate on Ice and those who are merel; interested in any local attraction which af- fords an evyening’s amusement, has fully realized every expectation of the manage- ment, and it only remains to see what the opening night will bring forth. The ice pal- ace will be opened to the public Monday evening, and it is probable that the largest crowd that has ever assembled on the im- mense floor will be in evidence. A num- ber of invitations have been issued to prom- inent people in this city and vicinity, and the aim is to make it a social event as well a3 the inauguration of a new place of amusement. Everything that could possibly add to the ecnvenierce or comfort of the patrons of the ice palace has been provided. There are reception rooms, waiting rooms, retir- ated of incandescent lights, the quality of light given by ey ven eg sulting the 8. ladies’ wait- Tooms are on the right hand side of the hall at the L street end. Those for gentlemen are on the op- Posite side of the hall In the same location. In addition, the gentlemen are provided with a han smoking room. In the center of the L street front is the gen- eral reception room for both Iadies and | gentlemen, while over this in the gallery is the cafe.
