caused by the burning Of the kitchen and
the partial burning OF the residence OF Mrs.
VI. A. Ware, at ibe corner OF Twenty
fourth and Nj streets. The fire originated
on the roof OF the kitchen, and was
caused by chimney-sparks. The fire was
discovered by a policeman, who promptly
gave the alarm, and the apparatus required
10 respond 10 that station turned out. Five
minutes later some one else discovered the
fire, and rousing Mr. Crowds, got hlm to
20 out and turn In another alarm at the
same station. A second alarm from this
box Lrings out the entire department, and
so there was soon enough apparatus on the
ground to put out two such fires.
The house and furniture was insured in

A story Of Judge Black.

Judge and Mrs. Black returned to their
residence at York, Pa, the first OF this
week. An incident which 1 have lately
heard In Judge Blacks early history inter-
ests me much. When "a very young man,
lust old enough to be eligible, his party lthe

for Congress, and felt sure OF eIecting him,
for. although the district was WING Dy an
overwhelming majority (2,0OO or 5000, i
think. the gentleman who was certain 10 De
nominated by the Wings happened 10 be
very unpopular. Mr.. Blacks father was
Whig-a strong Whig In every sense-and
so were most Of his numerous relatives, ana
this. as well as some other causes, made tnat
party willing to see him take step upward
in political life. But certain leading men,
bers OF the Whig party, unwilling 10 lose
tae district TO n Democrat, held con-
ference and took counsel among them-
selves how they might save IT. III was
necessary TO kill off both their own un-
popular candidates and the dangerous one
whom the Democrats had brought into the
field. This they did eflecluslly by putting
on their ticket the elder Mr.. Black, the
father OF the Democratic candidate, who
retired not only with grace but apparently
with pleasure, insomucb that he was ior
awhile out OF favor with the Democracy Tor
supposed completely with the manGuvre.
His father was elected without opposition.

A ror,v.M,l,ion Loan Reported.

The philadelphia Times states that Mr..
Charles b. Wright, OF that city. one OF The
directors OF the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, imparts the information that ne
gotations we're closed in New York Friday
night between the company and a syndicate
OF American and European bankers under
which the syndicate is TO furnish $40. COZ. 600
for the completion OF the rold. Dir. Wright
said that The names OF the bankers compos-
ing the syndicate would be published from
the compan,'s Office in New York in The
course OF two or three days, and IN the
mean time he did not feel authorized TO give
their names. He said, however, that they
were OF the very highest standing; that
there were no better names In America or
Europe. The Times says it is understood
that the leading members OF the syndicate
sre Drexel, Morgan Il Co.. August Belmont
Il Co., WiDsiow, Lanier Il Co., and j. "a w.
Sellgman, OF New York, and Morton, Rose
a. Co., OF London. MIR. Wright said that II
would be improper Just al present to give
the exact ferns OF The agreement, but be
would say that the syndicate were to take
the bonds OF the company on scale
ranging between 80 and 100 per cent.

summer by the School Board have been
complet ted and are occupied, except the
Elba School building, at the western end of

the finishing touches, and will be occupied

dslions for six hundred pupils. The
Springfield School buildings, corner OF
Leigh and Twenty sixth streets, will ac-
commodate two hundred. Both these
buildings are provided with admirably-ar-
ranged Fairgrounds, and with heating and
yentilaling apparatus tha: will give TO each
pupil an abundant supply OF fresh air, par
tally heated before entering the rooms,
while the impure air caused by eXhalation
will be as rapidly conveyed from the rooms.
The additions 10 The other buildings, prin.
cipalIy for cOlored pupils, will accOmmo-
date about eight hundred more pupils.
These improvements were designed ana

THE THEATRE LAST NIGBr.-Tbe pre-
seataiion OF Suppe's opera Fatinitza by
Mabn's Operi Company last evening was
not nearly so ereditable a performance as
their efforts in Brceacco. However, 1t
was far more meritorious than the me9gre
audience warranted. We were not pleased
with the rendition or the opera, from the
fact thar. with the exception OF Miss
Jennie Winston, the cast was weak.
Indeed, few leading people Is all that Is
wanted to make the company unexcep-
tionable. AS it is, the chorus is the only
and redteming feature. The usual fault
found with opera and theatrical companies
is here reversed, and instead OF the cast
being poorly supported. the support is too
good for the cast.
Miss Winston filled the roles OF vladimir
and Fatiniizl with intelligence AID pleasing
effect. Her yocalizalion ls good. and she
~ always IA careful Lctress. Miss Guthrie as
the Princess Lydia did acceptably well. and
she has rather our sympathy than censure
for her seeming inexperience In acting. she
hos had good vocal schooling and makes the
most Of her voice. Mr.. Ryse's effort at inn
personating the fierce General Kantscba-
koff was too forced and unnatural to be
pleasing, while Mr.. Morgan as Julian was
not sufficiently communicative to the pub
lie for a successful reporter. His private
and confidential conversations were as thor.
oughIy unintelligibe to his auditors as his
killing glances were apparent. The cbo-
ruses were all admirably rendered, and we
must say Of the chorus of the company that
it is one OF the most effective we have seen
on our boards.
The charming opera Chimes Of Nor.
mandy" Will be PLAYED at the matinee to-
dav, and we feel confident in the prediction
that the company is capable OF an excellent
rendition. Let them have q good house this
afternoon aud tonight. when they will
conclude their engagement here in "Boc'
caccio."
