LONDON, Jan. 19.-Numerous wrecks, at

the coast. In several instances on the Eas
coast the storm was SO violent 1t was impossi

paralyzed, the snow drifts In some cases being
five feet high.

ADJUSTMENTS:
"Oup GobltRS.'

The Opera House was packed last evening
to witness the first presentation of "Our Cob.
lins' by Mitchells Pleasure Party. Tie com.
position, compilation, or whatever it may be
called, is musical extravaganza of the most
extravagant description. It concerns the ex:
periences of pleasure party visiting an old
castle on the Rhine, and Is hodge-podge of
song, sentiment and fun, the latter largely
predominating. From first to last the audi
ence was kept in an uproar of laughter at the.
absurdities, spicy dialogue and medley Of
comic melodies which followed each other in
rapid succession. No more entertaining per-
formance has been given in the Opera House
the present season. Mr.. VIM. Gill, as Mr..
Cobb, was excruciatingly funny throughout,
while Mr. Wilson, as Silvermine, and Mr..
Forester, as Warbler, ably seconded him in
furnishing amusement for the audience. The
ladies were all charming in face and physique,
and acted and sang their roles excellently
They haye fresh, melodious and well trained
voices, and entered into the spirit of the play
with all the abandon their roles demanded.
Certainly better pleased audience never
filled the theater The performance Will be
repeated this evening.
