A contract was executed on Wednesday by
Mr.. William Kramer. owner OF the Atlantic
Garden and OF the Bowery Theatre. Frauein
Mathilde Cotrelly. formerly leading soubrette
OF the Germania Theatre. and Herr Gustav
Amberg. the musical and dramatic agent. under
which the Bowery Theatre. on and after the
18th OF September next is to become first
class German theatre. TO be known as Thalia
Theatre.
Fraulein Cotrely is one OF the most popular
German actresses. and Is generally esteemed
much the best German soubrette. in the style Of
Aimee, that has PLAYED in this city. She has
appeared as a star in the large cities OF the
United States. and In San Francisco last season
she made successful debut IN an English
version OF Suppe's operette, - fatinitza."
Mr.. Kramer mas owned the Bowery Theatre
for several years. and has not made money out
Of it. During the past year he has run 1t him.

the experiment OF making II a popular German
Theatre. in which the best performances, in
cluding drama, comedy. and operette, are TO be
be in strong contrast with the Germania. where
the prices are like those OF WallAck' 8 and other
establ ishments OF that class Mr.. Kramer will
pay all expenses. including salaries, and en-
gage better stock companies abroad than have
yet been here. Being able TO pay caeh for ey-

The theatre is to be entirely remodelled.
handsomely ntted up, and TO he. provided with
the latest improvements including a gallery
for promenndlnR. The prices OF admission are
to range as low as fifteen cents and i is thought
that the best seats in the house will be given for
seventy Ave cents. Herr Amberg ia to be the
business manager. The contract Ia made for
three years. and the profits are to be shared by
the three contracting parties.
With Mr.. Conried's plan for German theatre
mp town. TO be supported mainly by subscrip-
ti0ns. and the Germania, this will make three
German Dlay houses in New York. The Opin-
ion among the Germans OF the city is that not
more than one can be run Mt profit Mr..
Kramer's will have this advantage over others,
that he has ready capital and no rent to pay.

edy occurred on Saturday at Hughts s.

Cars, Gar wheels ard Iron.

AN OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE STATE
OF THESE INDUSTRIES IN wILMING-
TON.
The Iron Age, trade journal and Off
cial exponent of the leading manufactur-
ing interests of the country, has the fol-
lowing in its issue of Saturday last In
relation to the state of the principal
manufacturing establishments of this
city:
In the car shors of the. Jackson &
Sharp Company general activity pre-
walls. They are, and have been, very
busy, having just completed lot of cars
for the tijuana Railroad, Brazil, and also
q lot for the Long Island road. At pres
ent they are at work on an order of four
teen postal cars, to run between Rich
mond and New Orleans. Six of these
have already been delivered, and the re-
mainder will follow shortly. They are
also supplying some cars for the Ulster
and Delaware Railroad, as we'll ~ . lot
for Costa Rica, ordered by Jacob Hayes.
The foreign order book shows other lots
OF cars for The Leo Podina Road, in South
America, also for the L"gyana Railroad,
Brazil. There are some being bull. for
the Brattleboro and Whitehall Railroad
and other lines. The company consider
the prospect good, though uncertain
about the immediate future.
Messrs. Bowers, Dure & Co., take q
more sanguine view of The business OUT
look, declaring that things are better
with them now than they have been for
years, and that business men should feel
encouraged at the state of trade. They
have had 25O men vt work up to Satur-
day last, but have now knocked off few
for time. Among their list of orders
are a lot of forgings for freight car work
for the New Orleans road, and six cars
fer the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad. This firm have not been seek
ing any foreign orders, considering the
credit required to be given as too long.
They are kept constantly busy at repair
work and odd jobs.
The car wheel trade in Wilmington
may be Considered as slackeDing up some
what, owing to the impossibility of OBJ
tanning axles fast enough. At the Lob
dell Car Wheel Company's Works they
report large orders lett untitled, owing to
the cause, and as consequence they
uovO oHut uOWA Ou buciT Ical GT8O6 y llJ-
tie. They have over 1000 wheels in one
order waiting for axles. They are keep
ing from $50 to 400 hands at steady work
and consider the prospects as good for
the remainder of the season.
They have just completed good-sized
order for some of the carbuilders, includ-
ing one for the P. w. & B. r. r. Co.,
and have also been doing well in the
chilled roll trade.
Messrs. James P. Hayes 8 Co., state
that there is not much doing in car
springs at present, though they have been
very busy so far. Only few orders are
on hand and not more than fourteen
men at work.
The Belts Machine Company say that
the prospect is looking little better,
though things have been very dull,
prices being too low to allow of much
profit. I5-i
The removal of the American Stand.
ard Gauge and Tool Works from Phila.
delphia to Wilmington will no doubt
have good effect ON trade.
The Age also speaks in fattering term
Of the state Of trade in Philadelphia.

SETTLING A DISPUTE.

A NOVEL Price FIGHT LAST NIGHT.
South Wilmington residents wondered
what was the matter just before O'Clock
last evening, when a large crowd of
small boys, middle sized boys, and large
boys, with a good many men intermix-
ed, came swarming over Third street
bridge and passed out the road toward
New Castle. The crowd constantly
gathered additions as it went, and by the
time the city limits were passed, there
was moetly multitude of perhaps four
or five hundred people. 5Ff f,tf f
The secret Of all this turning out was
ssprize fight" between two young men
of the town, arrangements for which had
just been completed; they were going
out to find a convenient spot on which
to engage in a "mill." The names of
the two Just alluded to were Wilson
.Finney and Gal" Pierson. 1t appears
that there has been slight dispute be-
tween TEN, and Finney has been boil
ing for CHARGE to have 1t out with the
other. A day or two ago they met, but
the result was not satisfactory to either
of them, and meeting last evening, they
concluded to bring the dispute to
termination by fair trial.
Accordingly. they went out of town,
and attracted large crowd eager to see
the fun. At length they came to a va
cant lot and picking out seconds, climb
ed the fence, leaving the crowd out side.
They ''strippedp and went at 1t without
any prellminaries. For the next ten
minutes there was "Donneybrook fair on
4 small scale" In that lot. The young
pupilists conducted themselves in scien-
tific style and banged each other around
at q lively rate.
Finney is older than Pearson, and
while not quite so tall, is much heavier.
Stll though no is not better In the" "man'
| " art" than his contestant, he gradually
cutwinded him and at the end Of ten
minutes Pearson WAS out of breath and
had TO give Ia and tho dispute was set
tied. Tho fight was outside OF the city
limits and no arrests were made.
