LOCAL INTELLIGENCE

Saturday. They give final entertainment
tonight at reduced rates-50 cents and %
cents; reserved seats IS cents, to be had at
the confectionery store, next door to the
theater The company consists of about
dozen negro yocalists and character actors,
who entertain ana amuse with success. Their
manner OF entertaining differs from that Of the
Tennessee Jubilee Singers in that thew do
not contine themselves alone to the weird and
quaint songs Of the plantation camp meeting.
but giyeal variety, minstrel and concert num-
bers, and some buriesque and farcical scenes.
The troupe embraces some good voices, the
leading one being that of Maggie Webb. a
mezzo soprano of good quality and sufficient
power for the business in hand. Her voice
is sympathetic and harmonizes well with
very stroug supporting contralto and a
good basso. The tenors and baritone are
fair. The company has number of funny
people. whose comicalities in song, speech
and dance have been warmly applauded
on each of the three appearances made here.
The company is aided by quartet of ex-
travagant character actors from the Golden
City Company" who appeared as the big
four, and performed the song and dance of
that act" very well indeed. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that these four were led on the first
night into some unseemly extravaganza but
last night, convinced of their error, they
were correct, and showed marked improve
meEt. The lecture of Crusoe, one of the
"Jubilees" last evening, b-isted with neat
and apt local interpretations and good hits,
which especially pleased, if the excessive
laughter following them is to be taken as evil
denee of the fact
FIRE AT ELK GRovE.-Friday morning last
at an early hour dense volumes of smoke
were discovered issuing from the upper win
dows of Professor Fosters Academy, and be-
fore assistance could be obtained the fire had
gained such Roadway that nothing could
check it, and soon only a few smoldering
tlmbers and twisted girders among heap of
ashes marked the site of the institution
Professor Foster went to the place about a
year ago, taking all his capital which he in
vested IN this building and the apparatus it
contained. Great sympathy is expressed for
the loser, and already a considerable sum has
been subscribed to help him in rebuilding the
academy. The building and apparatus cost
$4,000, and was insured for $1,000. 1t is
thought the fire was the woik OF an incen-
diary, but as yet no positive evidence has
been obtained. Good Templars Hall has
been rendered to Professor Foster until he
can secure better quarters for his school.
