TIE: :THEATRE-NIIss KATE CLAXToN.-
"The Double Marriage" was prodHced at
the Theatre last night, with the following
c1ste of characters: Josephine, Miss Kate
Claxton; Rose, Miss Carrie Wyatt; Baron
ess de Beaurepaire, Mrs. .Cecile Rush; Ja-
cintha, devoted tothe baroness, Miss Mag
gle Harold; Duiardin and Captain Ray nal .
officers in the French army, Charles A.
Stevenson and Edward Arnott; Dr.DAu-
bertin, Il. B.>Phlllips; Edouard REVERE,
r. j.. Dunstan; Dart, William Davidge,
Jr.; !, General Rembaut, John. Il. Burke;
Sergeant La Cfoix, NJ. W., Letting ;
Pepin, notary. Walter II. White.
The play is, ,interesting-at times even ex-
citing. The whole trouble grows out OF the
fact that Josephine, bearing that her hus-
band, CAPITA in Raynal, had been killed in
.Egypt, rhshes into d marriage with 'Dnlar-
dim Captain RayDal didn't die, but came
home, %hereupon Josephine irenounced the
other husband; all'of which goes. to make
Hp the plot!m The piece has seyefal elements
of success-:as soldiers, pretty women, fine
dresses spirited music, a comic character,
and alive baby Miss Kate on account Of
hersnumerous ESCAPES from death BY IRE, as
well as because Of her established reputaI
tiofp as an actress. IS the centre OF ntrac'
ton pj Her part IS d difficult one, and she
fills it admirably Carrie Wyatt, too,
lis an actress Of zeal meritl2G'a To, -
company iscai'good one, and gave
great satisfaction ITO; the audience. - The
Double Marriage Will be, repeated tonight.

THIRD EDITION.
who is chief Engineer :

FOR inc kHPuBLlCAh.
MEssRs. EpIroRs AT the fire OIL Sat-
urday morning, was witness OF one
of the most disgraceful scenes that |
ever witnessed. After the tiremen had
gotten in service and were nobly work
ing to prevent two dwelling houses
from burning, one of our First District
policemen arrived on the ground and
commenced to blackguard the tiremen.
He raved and swore like crazy man.
But still this did not end the pro-
gramme. While our First Assistant En-
gineer was in the yard directing a
stream, this beautiful policeman was
standing on the railroad, with his re-
volver in his hand, ordering these men
to come out of there. Now Messrs.
Editors, if this policeman!is going to be
Chief Engineer the tiremen had better
close tn cir engine house doors and nail
them up, But if Chief Engineer
McCrea is to be boss, then such a man
as this had better keep away from the
fire grounds or be turned off the police
force. The tiremen will risk their lives
to save property quicker than any
other class OF people, but if they are to
be blackguarded by such man as this,
they had better stop running to fires.
On Saturday evening this policen n
had the impudence to make use OF the
following expression: 81 have priority
over Charley lukens, (meaning the
First AssistanD or any other man on
the fire grounds If somebody viii!
answer this question, and kindly tell
who is engineer it will greatly oblige
A FIREMAN.

Congress-.

The Legislative Appropriation bill,
which passed the United States House
of Representatives on Saturday, with
the political riders, by a party vote
l40 to lls-- will be presented in the
Senate to-day and referred to the Com
mittee on Appropriations. 1t will prob
ably be reported back to the Senate to
morrow.
During the vote, Mckenzie Of Ken
lucky, rose, and inquyed what party
was guilty of starving the Government
to death, to which the Speaker replied
that the country would judge that.
A motion to adjourn till Wednesday
was defeated-yeas 81, nays l62-and
then the House agreed (without divis-
ion) to adjourn till Tuesday. There
was then a rush to introduce bills for
reference, and several were so introdu-
ced and referred, including a bill to
establish religious equality in (the III
dian Territory, and bill (hy Mr.. DE
La Matyr) to substitute legal-tender
money for national greenback notes.
There were a dozan members on the
floor with bills to be introduced, when
stop was put to it by an objection from
Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who said
that he did not want to have Monday $
session abolished and then to have sheaiS
of bills introduced on saturday after
noon.
The House then, at four o'clock, ad-
journed till Tuesday.

Novel Anlusement.

How South CaroinianS amusc them
selves is thus told by the Kershaw Is.
C.) "Gazettc:" As MeSsrs. c. Pink Bow
en and William Wood were returning
to their homes in West Wateree, last
Thursday afternoon, they quarreled
about something. and fight ensued,
From an eyewitness we learn that they
first had rough and-tumble engage
ment in the mud, after which both arose,
and, holding each other at arms length,
commenced work with their pistols. 1t
is said they INDUCED in a kind of grand
walk round while they fired six shots
apiece at each other. The result was
that Mr.. Bowen received wound in the
lower part Of his face, and Mr.. Wood
was shot in the shoulder The pistols
were small ones, carrying No y cart
ridges, and neither wound could have
been very serious, as both men were able
to continue on their journey after the
atfray.

A Run for Liberty.

While the family Of Mr.. William
White, living on the Hare's Corner
road, were at dinner yesterday, three
bad boys fell afoLl of the pigeon cote
and pocketed some of them. MIR. White
captured one of the boys who had a
pigeon in his possession, and after
tying him put him in carriage and
brought him to the police station to de-
liver him into the hands of the police,
When he arrived at the station he
antied the boy and stepping out at one
side of the carriage, the boy stepped out
at the other side and gave leg bail.
Mr.. White followed in hot pursuit for
a couple Of squares, but the boy flying
as if he had borrowed the wings of the
pigeons he had stolen, was too fleet for
Mr.. White, and the latter gave up the
pursuit. lie thinks the boy will hardly
venture after his pigeons again.
