Music HALL.-Comical Brown had good
house at Music Hall Saturday evening. Brown
gives what he advertises to present., and varies
his performance with some serious matter mix
ed in with his comic. Near the close of the
performance some of the boys in the gallery
were uneasy and created a disturbance which
was disgrace to the city. Brown wisely clos
ed the performance at once; the gas was turned
off partially and the audience left.
Mr.. Thaxter the lessee of the hall, states that
he engaged two policemen to remain in the hall
during the performance to keep order, but they
left just prior to the disturbance. consequently
there was no responsible authority to peremp-
torily put a stop to such disgraceful proceed
ings.
1t is due to the police to state that the man
ager only spoke to the officers on that beat and
that it was impossible for them to leave it for
so long a time. Showmen should apply to
Marshal Parker, who will gladly furnish men to
preserve order.

Fire.


CONCORD, Nov. ia fire broke out this
morning about 2 o'clock in the kit factory at
Charlottesville owned by Mrs. O. r. George
and occupied by Warren NJ. Kempton. The
building with about 10000 kits were burned
and the fire spread to grist mill on the north
owned by Mrs George and occupied by George
Ketchum and to saw mill on the south own
ed and run by James Barnard, Jr. These
buildings were also destroyed. From the grist
mill the fire communicated to building owned
by Mrs. G. R. George and used in the upper
part as carding mill and the lower part as
clapboard and shingle mill. This was entirely
burned and also a sash and blind factory on the
north, also owned by Mrs. George and occupied
by James Mcclure and Livingston. The fire
then communicated to the house of Edward
Durham when it was stopped. Total losses
will probably reach $25.000, on which there is
said to be but a trifling insurance, perhaps
$4,000.
