& Benton's consolidation" occupy the Opera
House. We have not seen the entertainment
but only rely upon the following notice In the
ST. Louis Rpublicdn-a very reliable chronicle OF
"show" news--where they appeared but few
days since:
The aggregation OF specially performers which
opened o season at Pope's theatre last night Is
made up of two full companies -Gimore's ior-
eign attractions and Benton's domestic ceieDri-
ties which being consolidated, make u snow H.
teresting In numbers, even II 1t had no other re-
commentator to public attention. The acts are
SO numerous, and the actors SO many tnat III Or
der to play the programme through II Is neces-
sary to begin the performance earlier than usua',
and tonight to expedite business several acts
will be put upon the stage al tne same .iu,e auu
no intermissions Thus the system adopted Is In
itself novelty. II the spectator does not par;
ticularly fancy one act, he can let IL alone ana
look at another, and this sightseeing Is kept up
for three solid hours. The announcement OF
Gilmore & Bcnton's consolidation attracted
full house, and the sounds Of satisfaction that
frequently filled the auditorium were nnmistaKa-
BILE evidences Of general enjoyment. The people
advertised were on the stage, ana many OF Tue
acts are brilliant IN thei way. There are al the
are uuusal and everything Is genteel. Among
the principal features may be mentioned Lonzo
in Japanese Juggling, the Martel brothers IN
gymnastics the Four Diamonds In negro act
lP j Gregory, equilibrist; MISS LiZZle Sihius III
her splendid transformation dances, Gus Hill,
club swinger extraordinary; Mile. sarbro, who
walks up u ladder of swords with her bare feet;
Stirk's bicyclers, five of them, very neat; ana
King Sarbro in rope walking: There Is an In
PRODUCTION sketch, "Anmal Education" and a
closing act, "School," in which latter all the
company appear as pupils. Altogether 1t Is by
all odds the best, neatest entertainment OF TINS
character that has been seen in st. Louis this
season, and Judging from the attendance and
general impression last night the theatre Will
| not hold the crowds that will throng about Its
doors before the end Of the week.
Haverly's New Mastodon Minstrels with eight
yocalists, ten end men, twelve cloggsts, twelve
song and dance men, comedians, &c, &c, are to
be here on Jan. 81. The Times Chicago, pro.
uounces the performance, given this week, to be
a very good one and drawing big houses.
On next Friday evening Prof. II. L. Botwood
will deliver lecture entitled, "The Wonders OF
Modern Chemistry" illustrated by experiments.
The lecture will be very interesting and should
attract good audience. Tho lecture is for the
piano fund. Admission, % cents; lecture be-
gins at o'clock.

Experiments With Potatoes.

@. L. Ingersol makes report of an ex-
pertinent with POTATOES at Purdue Uni.a
versity. The weather was extremely
unfavorable for the growth of the crop;
no tests were made as to quality. Fhe
following is the list of potatoes that did
the best, and the yield of each per acre.
The plats were small, but the crop was
carefully weighed and the result COM
puted as yield per acre in order to give
a better comparison. The season at this
point was rather peculiar in this, that
the rainfall from January to July l
was three -fourths of all the rainfall for
eleven months, .or until December l,
1880. The following is the table: Snow
flake, 227.S bushels per acre; Strawberry
Mercer, 1882; Michigan Prolific, 1888;
Burbank's Seeding, 141.9; Bliss Tri-
umph, 141.3; Trophy, 1881; Early
SNOWFALL, 1876; Lily No. 10, 1904;
Tioga, 1880; Early Ohio, 1900: The
varieties which most closely followed
these in the yie'd we're respectively he
Hubbards N Favorite, Climax, Red
Lion, Prolific, Washington, Ruby. and
Mammoth Pearl. In the. experiment
the .e,d was cut to two eyes as nearly
as possible on piece, and two pieces
dropped in hill The hills were six
teen inches apart in the rows, and the
rows three feet apart. They were culti-
waited four times, once in a row, and
hand-hoed twice. Paris green was ap,
piled twice and London purple once, to
keep off the Colorado beetle. Paris
green gave the best salts action. The
poisons were mixed with water and ap-
piled with a rose sprinkler.

A Clinton, lows, dispatch says as the night
express train west-bound on the Rock Island
Division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railway was moving at ordinary speed
across the trestle work over Meredosia River,
one mile south of Albany, the trestle gave way,
and the train, without warning, was suddenly
precipitated into the river. The train consisted
of an engine, tender, baggage-car, passenger
and sleeping cars. All went down except the
sleeper, which hangs over the end of the bridge
at an angle of forty degrees, the upper end
high in the air. Two cars foated off down
stream. The passenger coach lodged against
an island forty rods away, and the baggage-car
struck in the middle of the stream about the
same distance Only the roofs of the
two cars were left in sight Engineer
West and the fireman, name unknown,
residing at Freeport, vent down in the
cab, and nothing has since been seen of the To-
comotiye or men. Baggageman Sam. Hana-
gan, brakeman Harry Myers, messenger Dan.
Ellithorpe, and conductor Thomas Fuller all
escaped uninjured, except the latter, whose es-
cape is miracle. Eleven passengers were in
the forward car, including a man and boy re-
siding on Pine River, Wisconsin, en- route to
Omaha; woman and two children, who got on
at Savannah, for Rock island; DR.. L. Linsey,
Of Albany, and five others, destination lun-.
known; of these, two men jumped ashore as
the floating car passed the abutment. Another
man leaped, but fell back and was drowned. A
woman and one child and a boy from Pine
River were taken of the roof of the car after it
lodged at the island, and the other six pas
sengers, including the man from Pine River.
little child Of lady, and DR.. Linsey, were
drowned. These, together with the engineer
and fireman, made eight lives lost in all.
