Fire-ihe Hamilton Misunderstanding
toa acknowledgements,
Friday morning at daylight a frame
dwelling just below Bsrnard's orchard, in
the Fifth ward, was almost entirely des'
troyed by fire. The nearest fre-plug was
probably 225 yards distant, and 1t took the
hose OF two companies to reach. The only
one in the house was Robert CLARK, his
wife being away from home. He wa al.
most stifled before he awoke. the smoke
being particularly sitting from a consider.
able quantity Of red peppers which were
burning. There had been no fire in the
house since the proceeding morning, but
the fire probably originated from a match
which Mr.. Clark lighted In going 10 bed
and which may have smouldered In the
carpet. The fire started apparently in the
upper story. The house Is owned by Jas.
Galloway, Of this township, and the loss Ia
probably covered by aS1,0O0 policy In the
Lancashire. All Clark's furniture was des'
troyed without insurance.
John Poorman was brought here Friday
morning by an officer of the B. & o. r. R.,
having been arrested at GAINESVILLE charged
with breaking into a freight car. John
left here with the ayowed intention Of 60.
ing 10 hunt work, taking his moulders'
tools with him. He rode on a freight train
from here TO Quincy where he twisted the
lead seal of OF a car, there being nc emp.
ties on the train, to steat a'ride more com.
iortably. At a crossing OF the railroads at
Cambridge, an employe noticed the car
door ajar and fastened 1t, shutting Poor
man in. He was found ct GAINESVILLE and
the goods In the car were found short by
one case OF canned goods.
The examination Of witnesses in the
Hamilton homicide case continued before
the corone during Friday. The colored
girls were liberated, and were seen about
tho streets all day. A great many wit.
nesses 6 examined, seemingly with
the intention OF finding who was likely to
follow the girls or to resent any one else's
following them. Several young men
were rumored To be under suspicion, but
however well founded the suspicious may
prove to be 1t is certain that the way In
which some OF our young men spend a
part Of their leisure time has been shown
up publicly.
A third.hand at the rolling mill was
badly burned about the face and ayes Fri.

AMusKNESrs-Chih Of tie &dtt.-The
amusement season oflsS0-Sl was initiated
last night with the popular drama, 1.-THE
Child OF the State" This drama is an in
tensely emotional n and once thrilling
interest from the commencement to the
grand denousment. The plot OF the drama
In brief is this: The scene, Holland; lat.
ter part Of the 18th century. At that time
female orphans not provided for were
adopted by the State and called "Children
OF the State" and whoever compromised
the honor Of one OF these bad the alterna-
tive OF marrying her or OF suffering death.
Count De Lancey, q young nobleman at
tached to the French embassy, violates
the law aud renders himself liable to the
punishment. The other characters In the
drama are Gros Rene, friend to the Count;
Christian, q lawyeri Frederick Won Hell
mich and Waldeberg, magistrates; BIZ
doche, a vagraut; Gertrande and Carline,
Children OF the Statei Louise, Won Hell
mich and Marie. !.
Mr.. James NJ, Hardie takes the role OF
the Count De Lancey, which is a rather
difficult one, but Is rendered In a very
pleasing manner by the gentleman. MIR.
George Hoey, as Gros Rene, Is q superb
character and pleased all last night by his
versatility and genius. The Magistrates
were representa- by Messrs. Davies and
Ahrendt in q very satisfactory manner, as
wal also the part Of Christian, by Mr..
Sands. Gertrande, the Child OF the State,
was taken by Miss Ellen 0ummins, who
is well and fayorably known in this city.
Miss Cummins appeared to splendid.adyan-
tage, and frequently elected. the widest
applause by her splendid acting. The
other members Of the company were 81
good, and we hope tonight to see the
building crowded to see the rendition oil q
splendid drama by a superior company.
