DRAMATIC.

The enthusiasm over Lotta's per-
Torrance last night at Leubrie's thea
ter was not as marked as was mani
tested the previous evening, though
there was no decrease in the numbers
present. Considering the execrablc
condition Of the clements, the attend
ance was highly complimentary, as the
house, while not over-crowded, was
comfortably filed and the audience
was as respectable in quality as it was
In numbers. 1t might have been that
mist, fog and rain dampened the feel
ings OF the spectators, or perhaps they
were not so good-natured on
general principles; then mayhap the
fact that the play of the Little De-
tective" was one of Lotta's oldest.
contributed to the apparent gloom
of the evening, but it is very
certain that Lolita herself was as full
of ardor and sprightliness as upon IN
former occasion. The quaint little
lady dashed about and carried on fully
as kittenish as she did a dozen years
ago, when she first peaped over her
fan sideways before a throng
at the Greenlaw opera house. She
sang and danced and frolicked through
six different characters, climbed
through windows, kicked up her heels
and bounced here and there, Just like
a titteen-year old hoyden, and as Lot
ia alone can. There is but one Lolita,
and she will never have her counter
part in this life. The sprightly and
popular actress appears here for the
last time this evening as Zip" and it
is n Of her favorite parts.

STREEr.cAR STABLES.
A Healthy Improvement and Fever An.
tidOte.

The new street-car stables now in
course Of erection, at the corner of
Main and Linden streets, are almost
tie only work Of improvement at
present in progress in the way Of
building. The lot Of ground upon
which the stables, workshop, car shed
and depOts are to stand is lj0x175 feet
in size, and it occupies a fourth of a
square. The lot cost 5000 in cash or
It's equivalent, and the purchase
vas not made at Chancery
sale, as was reported some
time ago. The buildings in course Of
construction are Of brick, will be two
stories high. and viii cost about
1880. and when completed tho
improvement will be quite an impor-
tant adjdnct TO the street car Gonna
nys property, as well as convenience
aud comforts. In this connection it
may be well 10 mention that out Of.
81 persons employed about the street
and the street car company stables
during the past summer, not one died
Of fever. An acting foreman on the
outside Of the stables, and a young
gentleman in the mp town Office died,
but the stable men and their sssoci-
ates were well all through, and no
case Of sickness occurred among them.
Last year, out Of % men employed, ~.
died. This statement is made as an
Offset to that ofthe sanitary force some
forty odd strong, who were exempt. or
supposed to be, by the fact that they
