work from Division 10 Walnut would
have been completed this fall, and We

NEw METROPOLITAN The inclemency
Of the weather last night prevented a
large audience a. the theatre. Mas Dora
Shaw had been quite III al day, and was
lily able 20 undertake the heavy task %
playing Parthenia and from the Sea- -
was apparent that she was not herself,
and In the last act her overtasked ner-
vous aystem gave way, and she had to
be- carried from the stage. nr Thomp'
son was called to her, and after an hour
or 30 she was conveyed to her hotel,
scarcely conscious and utterly Frustrated.
of course, this unfortunate and unplsas-
ant occurrence stopped the play and
marred really Ems performance. i.
also bad its effect on the aferpiece,
which was played nervousiy, though
eliciting wild applause.
Among the audience last night were
Mr.. ID. Hasshsft and Fanny B. Price,
who were warmly greeted BY many
friends.
just as we were. about going TO press,
we we're informed that Mics Shaw will
positively play tonight, her physicians
advice to the contrary Notwithstanding.
We admire Miss. Shaw's spiritedhess,
aud hope she win be favored with a
crowded house. r
Tomorrow night Mr.. Golden gives a
Benefit to the wortahg Mems Associa-
ton, to assist them in raising funds for
their library, aud we not only hope, but
confidently expect, TO see the fullest
house of the season.
EvASsyILLE AND NV ALBAST.--In
reply to little sensible sdyiee-the
kind Of advice We always give--ihe New
Albany Ledger nakss ,he following very
creditable remarks
The prosperity Of Evansville is as
p,easinggto US as il eaa possibly be to
the JeifrnaL There is plenty of room
for improvement both in Evansville
and New Albany, and The town which
offers the greatest inducements il bound,
by the inevitable laws OF trade, to i'm.
prove the most rapidly Therefore, we
would not encourage any other than a
iusg and generous spirit of rivalry be-
tween Evansville and our own city. lie
such rivalry, New Albany has nothing
to fear from any town on the lower Ohio.
New Albany to-day offers better faeil-
tiles for transportation and travel East,
West, North or South than any city on
the Ohio below Cincinnati This fact is
well known; and il is this that is attract
ing so many people here We do not
believe there is city in Indiana which
is increasing more rapidly than our own
in population, manufactures, and sub
stantial prosperity. We certsinly hope
Evansville win have an equally prosper
Gus career
We are glad at all times to welcome
to New Albany such energetic business
men rs Messrs r X. Dunkerson & Co.
They are just the kind of men New Al
bany, and Evansville, and other Western
cities require to ensure their prosperity
We shall certainly stand by them,
and" the great Bellsfcntaine Cotton Ex-
press, because it is just sach institutions
aud such men that We most need in New
Albany; and the firm could not havs Sc
lected a more thorough going Dire man
to represent them here than Captain
Schnnlanb. He SUITS rs, Journal, and
be suits our people, and we can promise
him that we will al stand by him.

not only Of all city authorities, but of oil
citizens 70 use every effort to enhance
this modification. Perfect cleanliness
aud the removal Of al noxicus vapors,

families and their friends are at stake.
and if they would preserve these, they
must observe the striesest regime
We believe the city of Evansville is
about IS clean as any city in the Unior,
certainly much cleaner than many we
have visited during the past summer,
