Ir, George

The THEATRE-HENRY v Ir. George
Rignold made his second last appear
ance last evening as King Henry the Fifth
TO another brilliant audience.
The play was much better presented, and
everything about the stage worked more
smoothly than on the first night. Mr..
Rignold is unquestionably line actor. His
reading is always correct, and his bearing
in every position that Of king. The great
charm about him, however land 1t Is ayirtue
which is in itself almost the perfection OF
acting), is that he Is so perfectly natural.
He carefully avoids anything like ranting,
and is never too "stagey." .s@
Miss Church suited well the role OF
Princess Katherine, while the Janey Of
Ar. Naylor and Bardolph OF Mr. Ward
were both admirably sustained. Dir. Meade
as Pistol was good, too; but the company,
rs 4 whole, need much training and rehears-
ing together. f
Dir. Rignoli was repeatedly called before
the curtain, and when it went down for the
last time was obliged to respond to nume-
rous calls for "Speech! !" "Speech!" in
which he thanked In few words the peo-
pie of Richmond for their kindness and ap-
probation.
Mr.. R,gnold is an artist Of the first rank,
and will meet with cordial reception
whenever he returns to Richmond.

NEXCITEMENT IN AN APPRAISERS
SToRE-DISCovERY OF DTSAMITE-A FOOL
HARDY ATTEMPT-Ne,o York., April 1O.-A
good deal OF excitement was caused to-day
at the appraisers store, corner Laight and
West streets, by the discovery in cask OF
wine of large tin box filled with dynamite
cartridges, which were attached to wires
and surrounded with gutta-percha fuses.
The cask was one OF cargo from the steamer
Frisia, which were brought with number
OF others to the appraisers store. The
cask was invoiced thirty litres OF wine,
and is supposed to be from Hamburger.
1t was addressed to a person in Hunt
ingdon, Ill. 1t is thought to be foolhardg
attempt Of some person to ship dynamite to
this port, the party knowing that il the pro-
prietors of the vessel were aware OF the
compound if it were inyoiced they would
not receive it. Had the cask fallen when
being hoisted out Of the hold on deck an
other Bremerhaven disaster might have oc-
Cured, and had the explosion occurred in
the appraisers store the consequences
would have been very disastrous, as fully
four hundred people are employed there,
and there is property in the place valued at

Love for Mary Cary.

from the Minneapolis TribuRe.I
A Lcnf from Observation-Disclosures
Love for Mary Cary.
The autograph letter of Washington to
Sarah Fairfax, dated September II, 1853,
recently sold in New York, and published
| in Yesterdays issue, settles some hitherto
doubtful points in the early history OF the
Father OF the Republic.
Sarah Fairfax was the wife Of George W.
Fairfax, the daughter OF Wilson Miles Cary,
of Warwick county, Va. She resided at
Belyoir, plantation in Virginia few miles
below Alexandria, on the Potomac. Her
beautiful sister, Mary Cary, who spent much
of her time at the old two-Story brick man
sion known as Belvoir, was the maiden for
whom Washington avoWS his love In these
words:
"'Tis true, profess myself votary OF
| loye-I acknowledge that q lady is in the
case; and further | confess that this lady is
known to YOU. Yes, madam; as well rs
she is to one who is too sensible OF her
charms to deny the power whose Influence
| he feels and must ever submit to. feel
the force of her amiable beauties in the
| recollection of thousand tender passages
that could wish to oblIterate, till am bid
to revive them; but experience, alas sadly
reminds me how impossible this is, and
evidences an opinion l have long enter
tanned, that there is destiny which has the
sovereign control OF our actions, not to be
resisted by the strongest efforts Of human
nature. 4.
"You have drawn me, dear madam, or
rather have drawn myself, into the confess
sion of simple fact-miscOnstruc not my
meaning-doubt 1t not, nor expose 1.-THE
world has no business to know the object OF
nv Ioye-declared in this manner to you
when want to conceal it. One thing above
all things in this world wish to know, and
only one person Of your acquaintance can
solve me that or guess my meanlng-but
adieu to this till happier times, II L ever
shall see them" 81.
There has been evidence found within
few years that Mary Cary wrote to Wash.
ington about this time, probably after she
had seen his letter to her sister. In a work
called the Falrfaxes OF England and Ame-
rica," published in 1868, there is letter OF
Washington, written to Mary Cary herself.
in camp, on the march to Fort Duqucsne,
dated 25th September, thirteen days after
that to her sister. He writes:
ado we still misunderstood the true
meaning Of each others letters? / think it
must appear SO, though would fain hope
the contrary. as cannot speak palmer with

you to guess tho rest" After giving the
army news, he continues: .fI should think

DIED FROM HIS INJURIEs.-Matt Darby,
who either shot himself accidentally or with
the intention Of committing suicide, in
Rockets, q few days ago, died at the aims
house yesterday afternoon.
Last night Coroner Taylor held an inquest
upon the body ut the almshouse. The testi-
mony elected was that he himself stated
that the shooting was accidental, but his
little son asserted that his father told him
he was tired Of living, and asked him for
the gun, saying he intended to kill himself.
The verdict was that the jury could not de-
termine whether the shooting was by acci-
dent or design.
The body was taken TO the county for in
tcrment by his friends.

STEAM STREET Cause.-The brief expert
ence OF the Market-Street Railway Company
with the seven steam-cars that are on their
road is so satisfactory that there can be no
doubt OF the substitution Of steam for horse
power on all well-conducted street railroads
in the course OF very few years. The
"dummies" move easily and rapidly, but
with entire safety, for they can be stopped
and started more easily than can horse-car.
Nobody has been hurt on or by steam-car,
while there have been some dreadful acci-
dents caused by cars drawn by horses with
in the past few days. But the most import
ant question, so far as relates to their gen.
eral adoption, is the economic one, and du-
ring the time that the " dummies have been
in use it has been demonstrated that each
one is run at less expense than horse-car
and that the receipts, with fare at five cents,
are larger every day than those OF horse
car with fare ut six cents. The Market
Street Company. whose enterprise and lib
cralty surpass those OF any other, will, OF
course, adopt the steam-cars and abandon
the horse-cars as soon as the change can be
made. Then there ought to be jubilee OF
the Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals, in which all humane citizens will
join heartily.-PhHadelphia Bulletin.

being the ,Jlba to such Marcia rs You
must make. . One thing more, and
then have done. You ask IL am not tired
Mt the length OF your letter. No, madam, i
am not, nor never can be" &c.
Miss Cary's father was like Cato in Addi-
sons Tragedy, and she felt as Marcia:
"Whilc Cato lives, his daughter has no right
TO love or hate but as his choice directs"
Colonel Cary thought that his daughter
had been loo luXuriously trained to make a
happy wife for young man entirely dcpen-
dent upon his own cXertions.
Whoever will read the play OF Cato will
find Marcia mourning over the remains OF
the dead warrior Juba, and saying:
aye dear remains of the most loved of men:
Nor modesty, nor virtue here forbid
4 last embrace, while thus"
Juba, suddenly coming to life, eXclalms !:
See, Marcia See!
The happy Juba lives: he lives to catch
That dear embrace, and TO return 1t, too,
With mutual warmth and cagerness Of love-"
While Difference to the fathers wish pre-
vented Miss Cary from becoming the wife
OF Washington, she always remained 4
friend, and became the wife OF Mr.. AM
bier.
Already he had been pleased with the
society OF the wealthy widow, Martha Gus
tis, and very soon after his rejection by Miss
Cary proposed to her, was accepted, and in
the following January she became his wife.
In 1913 Sarah Fairfax and her husband,
in ship OF which a brother OF Governor
Eden, OF Maryland, was captain, went to
England. Washington acted as Mr.. Far

The following advertisement, for which
Washington paid six shillings and five pence,
in 1774, appeared in the Pennsylvania ID
zette, published at Philadelphia:
"To be rent from year to year, or for 4
term OF years, Bclvoir, the beautiful seat OF
the Honorable Geo. w. Fairfax, Esq., upon

Sarah Fairfax became widow in 1877,
and never returned from England. The
old home, in which Washington had passed
so many pleasant hours with Mary Cary,
after few years was destroyed by fire. In
the will Of George w. Fairfax, Washington
was named as one OF his executors. Sarah,
his widow, lived to Il great age, and about
1912 died at Bath, England. Her effects.
