The great raft scene, the Internal

vator we're all exhibited at the theater
last night, to a large and an admiring
audience. The spectacular features
were smooth and satisfactory, and the

better appreciated. Tho play was a

during the evening a stampede occur-

caused by the careless dropping Of a

a little fame, and spread its smoky

others. The match is fixed to come

forts Of the Thieves.

About two o'clock this morning
Private Waterman Scully discovered
thieves at work in the store Of Fulmer,
Burton & Co., on Front Row, corner
Gayoso street, and putting his whistle
to his lips blew a rousing blast. The
burglars dropped their work on
the instant, and made for
the alley, down which they
were fitting with the speed of the wind
when Officers Cullen and Conway
arrived. They gave chase at once,
and opened fire with their revolvers,
but the burglars had the start and we're
soon lost to view in the darkness. An
investigation afterward revealed that
about two car loads of merchandise
had been taken from the store, piece
meal, and deposited in a
loose cotton shed directly across
the street. The officials are
much chagrined over the splendid
opportunity lost Of capturing burglars
in the act and teaching the balance Of
their class a salutary lesson. Theil
capture could easily have been effected
had the private watohman given a 81
lent signal or warning to the police
instead of arousing both at the same
time by blowing his whistle right in
the cars Of the thieves.

DRAW THE CROWD.
And Help Trade by Doing SO.

The proposed walking match be-
tween noted professional pedestrians
is a theme upon which many people
arc at present dwelling at length,
Among merchants and others it is
deemed an attraction likely to draw a
crowd from the interior. They discuss
it as one Of the features calculated to
help trade by bringing in people. Any
thing that brings people in fayors
traffic, because it makes customers
moro numerous. This is one of the
leading points in favor of
Mardi Gras entertainments,an and indeed
all other attractions calculated to
please the eyes, the ears and the tastes
of strangers Without attractions Of
q varied character a city would soon
lose prestige, caste and influence. We
must have them, the more the merrier,
and if their variety is legion so much
the better. There is scarcely a person
in our midst, even among the straight
laced, long faced, gloomy hearted and
most violent opponents of Mardi Gras
revels, who is not sorry
that VIC are not likely to
celebrate the carnival season by the
usual spectacular display, and any
substitute for hal great attraction
will be welcomed. The proposed
walking match is a novelty to this
community, and will doubtless be- one
OF the sensations Of the season. At all
events, it is meet and proper that
reasonable efforts should be made to
bring in crowds Of people from the in
terror. Some ofthe railways leading in
to this city have already signifed their
intention to reduce rates to travellers
and arrange cheap excursions during
the walking hurrah. Ifall drop into
line and do likewise it will add to tie
interest of the affair, and make things
lively. 1t is sid hat a committee Of
leading citizens have agreed to confer
with the railway managers and see if
they cannot be Influenced TO realize
that it will be mutually beneficial to
fix a cheap rate for excurtionists du.

THE CASE AT ALBANY.

The refusal OF the half-breeds at
Albany to go into a caucus with the
stalwarts very definitely defines the
character OF the fight. The latter will
doubtless issue acall for caucus, signed
by a majority OF the Legislature. The
caucus will nominate CoNKLING and
PLArT. Each branch vii! vote separ-
stely next Tuesday for Senator and on
Wednesday meet in joint convention.
In this body there will be l60 mem.
bers, and OF this number "a will be
Democrats TO begin with. The Demo
Gratis are a small minorIty-less than
one-third the whole number; still they
may have very important work to do
The lO6 Republicans are divided into
two factions, neither of which is a
majority Of the whole number OF
members. The CoSELISG partisans
claim -, and allow "a to the
other side; the administration par
tisans calm II, and allow "a to the
CoHKLING side. 1t does not matter
which estimate is nearest the truth,
since neither will elect. The number
of votes necessary TO elect is Sl-and
neither faction can boast OF this num-
Der. The CoSELING partisans will, by
their own showing, need nine more
votes than they have. and the admins.
tration side will need IS more than they
count. Where are these additional
votes to be sought for? Obviously
among the 81 Democrats, and this being
the situation the outlook is for an in
definite deadlock or an adjournment
without an election.
