Grand Display of Elegant Prizes.

We notice in the window OF Mr.. =. Z.
Hamilton's jewelry establishment . dis
play OF some of the prizes to be dis
tributed at the Theatre on the 18th and 18th
OF April, By the Ford Dramatic Association.
The handsome doll, the first prize for the
matinee, is very beautiful and dressed In q
tasty and elegant suit.
These entertainments bid fair to be the
best ever presented by the Fordss and We
hope they viii receive the encouragement
they certainly merit, not only from the fact
Of the extra inducements offered by them
in the number and value OF the prizes but
also from the selection of the bill and the
extra work and expense incur by them
In presenting 1t in q creditabie 4 2 lner.
The Autographed programm which
have been sent through the usall by the
committee to many Of our eitiz-n are GER
tainly exquisite in design and execution,
and may be regarded as indicative OF an
entertainment OF unusual excellence.
IL connection with the programme there
will also be flute solo by Signor Ferrszzi,
who has charge of the orchestral music.
The drill OF the Veteran Guard Cadets, 1t
is confidently asserted, will surpass any
thing Of the kind ever yet presented on our
boards.
Tickets for these entertainments are now
for sale by the committee, members Of the
Fords, also at Bren's, Hamilton's, Connor's,
fernandez aud GsEan's cigar stores. There
have been quite a number OF tickets already
sold, and, as the committee have SO decided,
there will positively be no reserved seats.
There will be full rehearsal Of the bill at
Mozart Hall tonight.

Fire on the Bav-An Alarm from

No. z.
Yesterday about 1890 O'Clock Bay street
was startled by an alarm Of fire from Sta
ton No. z, which never fails to create an
excitement. light smoke arising from
under the bluff, foot Of Whitaker street, IN
dicsted the locality Of the fire, and in few
minutes there was an immense throng of
people hurrying TO the scene. The fire was
found to be in the pickery Of Messrs. Daffin
& Dresser, large one story brick building
10 the Factors. 0ae Of the en-
ployes was about to empty a basket
of cotton into the press when he discovered
that there was fire a. the bottom OF the
basket. Il was Immediately taken to the
out, but not before some of the
burning scraps had fallen into the
press and others on the floor igniting the
loose cotton in crate, from which it Ess
communicated TO two bales near by. a
strong wind was blowing at the time and
the excitement was lively for awhile, there
being apprehension Of a serious conhagra-
ton. Mr.. Bracewell, who was in charge OF
the pickery, promptly summoned his force
together and the bales and crate were
moved toward the door to prevent the IRE
rom spreading, and buckets and pals were
brought into requisltion, water being OBJ
tanned from the hydrsnt, and the floor Of
the pickeFy was deluged. Meanwhile the
fire department, which responded with
great promptness, reached the ground, and
two lines OF hose were quickly rolled out.
Chief Butler, taking In the situation at a
glance, so disposed his force that the fire
was extiDguished in few minutes and all
danger was passed. The damage will not
exceed 800. The place and contents were
fully insured in companies represented by
Mr. Il. 7. Bolts. II is not known how the
fire occurred, as the basket Of cotton in
which It was discovered had just been taken
from lot Of loose cotton in which there
WAS no fire.

That Whale Heard From.

A gentleman who yesterday returned from
Blackboard Island informs US that on Sat-
urdsy last the body Of 8 monster whale,
fully fifty feet long, was cast upon the beach
Of the island. On examination, the marks Of
three harpoons were found on the body, and
the supposition is that it is the same whale
that was attacked by whales boats crew
of Martins Industry lightship about month
ago, and escaped after sinking the boat con-
tanning the attacking party. It will be re-
membered that the monster carried OF as
souvenir Of the encounter-three harpoons in
his body. Hence there is little doubt that
the whsle washed ashore on Blackboard
Island Is the same one, and that he died
from the effects of the wounds then receiV-
ed. He escaped owing to the approach Of
darkness, and was reported BY the boats
crew to be an old battle-scarred leviathisn
aud very SPACIOUS. The whale which cap
sized a boat in Catalogue Sound last week
was, we believe, captured few days after
that mishap.

The completest demonstration ever made

The eompletest demonstration ever made
that the soothing effect OF oil on troubled
waters can be put to practical use was made
by Mr.. John Shields, Of Perth, England, on
March l. Having chosen Peterhead as the
most suitable place for his experiment, Mr..
Shields caused iron and lead pipes to be laid
from the beach into the sea In front OF the
entrance to the harbor. A force pump wss
attached to the land end Of the piping, and
near it was placed large barrel containing
100 gallons Of oil On March l, Mr.. Shields,
having been informed by the Meteorological
Office that the sea was rough at Peterhead,
went thither from Perth, accompanied by
several seafaring men from Dundee and
Aberdeen. When the white-crested waves
were rising to height Of ten to twenty feet
at the harbor entrance the oil pump was put
in motion, causing the oil to spread in the
bottom of the sea, and on its gradually ris-
ing to the surface the white foam entirely
disappeared, and, although the swell con-
tinueo, the surface Of the sea was perfectly
smooth, so that ship or q small boat could
have entered the dock without the slightest
danger-an impossibility before the oil was
distributed In the water. The experiments
satisfied the shipmasters who witnessed
them, Mr.. Shields is willing to give any
harbor board the benefit of his invention,
and render any assistance in carrying 1t out.

The Northern vegetable Market

The New York Daily Bulletin Of the goth
instant says: "The prospects for an abund-
ant season are hattering, and the farmers
South, it is said, expect TO ship at least %
per cent. more produce this year than last.
At the Old Dominion steamship wharf the
Superintendent says the three ships arriving
weekly are filed with truck There has
been more kale, spinach and radishes
brought this month than was imported dur
the full months of March and April last
year. This is due to the very open winter
experienced South, and in consequence the
productions for this year raised by the
South, especially for the New York market,
are likely TO amount to IS, 000, 900, as COM
pared to &, 900 600 for the past year. The
Virginia farmers, II was stated, send the
greater part of the green vegetables, and
also supply US with quantity OF sweet and
other potatoes, tomatoes, ca60ages, cucum-
bers, beans, peas, etc. We likewise get
strawberries and melons from the same
place. The same date quote Southern green
peas at 81 per crate; Florida string beans

Not an EXPLOSION.

Editor Morning Ntaos: Please permit me
to state through your columns that the
street lamp referred to in your issue Of yes
terday, as "haYing exploded" did not ez-
pgOde. Neither was the cause Of its burning
a mystery" as stated. 1t was burned by
the lighter, who, contrary to instructions,
sought to I'll the reservoir while the lamp
was burning; and, just as stated by me In
my answer to the bill for injunction now
pending in the Superior Cont, "the mate
rial caught fire" and was Consumed in q
few moments, without other damage than
to the lamp The fact that the lighter
was on the ladder st the time dispels all
Bystery as to the cause, while it demon
strated the practical safety OF the lamp even
under this most exceptional case, for the
lighter received no damage whatever. The
burning was attended with the same danger,
and is identical with the burning Of a SINH
lar amount of alcohol in an open vessel.
There was 10 explosion" nor can one seer
occur. n. F. THOMPSON.

clearness and force. He announced that
tonight he would speak on "The Moral and
