Amusement Notes.

week from this evening this city will be
given first opportunity to pass for itselfupon
the merits of a young lady who for two years
past attracted more notice and won more
lavish praise than any other dramatic

known. Miss Margaret Mather, whose
first appearance in Chicago few
months ago attracted widespread and
lavish notice, will on that evening be pre-
sented in Shakspearean character, and with
every possible accessory, In Miss Mathers
company and playing the leading juvenile
parts, is Mr.. Alexander Salvini, son of the
great tragedian, who is said to inherit vastly
of his fathers genius. The press of the prin-
cipal cities of the North and West have law
ished admiration upon these two artists. Miss
Mather is in Baltimore this week.
The engagement of Madame Modcska,
which is to begin at the National Theater

mate" event of "A season that promises un-
usual wealth in that respect, and for that
reason it should command especial and
pleasant interest. That it will be brilliant

quality, is already assured, the advance sale
of seats being unusually large. Until Wednes-
day evening "As You Like 1t" will be acted
ON Thursday and Friday evenings, "Frou-
Frou;" ON Saturday afternoon, "As You Like
It," and on Saturday evening Camille"

Daring Attempt ut burglary.

Mr.. T. A. Rover, who keeps grocery store
at the corner of Fl and North Capitol Streets
was awakened yesterday morning about 3
O'Clock by hearing some one moving in the
store, directly beneath his chamber Hearo
from his bed, and, going to the stairs softly,
perceived two men in the lower portion. Going
back in his room, he got his revolver and
started to go down stairs, but the burglars,
who were busily engaged in attempting to
open the safe heard him and started to run.
Mr. Rover fred at them twice, and the burg
lars, turning in their fight, returned his fire.
They then ran to the sidewalk, where they
were Joined by two others, w,-o were keep
ing watch, and all sprang into a car
riage and were driven or. A careful
search was made by special officer and Mr..
Rover after the departure of the burglars and
full kit of tools found lying in the dining
room. The thieves took nothing, but did some
damage to the safe in their futile attempts to
open it. From their mode of going to work
1t is believed they are gang of professionals.
The police made a careful search for the
thieves, but up to late hour last night failed
to discover them.

amazing love of Christ for man, as
well as the transcendent value of his
soul. BY the costliness of the price of
our redemption we are given the measure of
Christs love for us, and the best proof Of the
worth of the soul. This price, too, was ncces-
sary; not TO soften the heart of God or to
awaken His love for us, but to open the way
to Him, and to make known His love for man.
Man left to himself could not redeem HIM
self Jesus had no sins of His own 20 atone
for. Then why did lie die? The only key
to this question is that He was our substitute.
From this we gain knowledge of the infinite
evil and demerit of sin which required such a
sacrifice The price, moreover, was adequate.
1t met the end The dignity of Christ inn
parted yaluo to the blood He shed for our re-
demption. The human and divine were COM
bined in Him, and His Deity stamped His
blood with infinite efficacy. We may
learn from this of the absolute security
of those who trust in that blood, as well
as the utter uselessness of any effort on our
part to supplant the work of Jesus by any
work of our own. The result of redemption
is the forgiveness of sin. This is the blessing
conferred upon the redeemed, and is complete
in degree. All "sins," no matter how numcr-
Gus they be, are forgiven and full and perfect
salvation attained through faith in the blood
of Jesus The forgiveness, too, must be COM
plete in order to be valid, for one sin unfor-
given would lose the soul. We know also that
it is complete because it is the work of God.
and like all other works of God. it is perfect.
The blessing of forgiveness is also com
prehensive in its range, bringing along
with it peace of conscience, comfort un-
der trial, victory over death, and
the bliss of Heaven. Again, the soul re-
deemed through the blood of Christ is not left
TO doubt. but is assured of the blessing of for
giveness by the testimony of the Spirit. oh,
the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord
imputeth not iniquity. nredeemcd, be CRATE
full to God and Jealous in His cause, rcmcm-
bering that you are not your own, but bought
with price, even the precious blood of Jesus
If you are not redeemed come and be for
given.
The sermon was followed by communion
service in which there was an unusually large
number of participants.

ATTACKING A TRAIN.
Texas Freebooters Foiletl-DarinS Plum
derers frustrated.


DALLAS, TEXAS, Dec 3-The northbound
train on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Rail-
road, due ut Dallas AT midnight, stopped for
water ut little station called Blum seventy
five miles south of Dallas. The engine was
boarded by three heavily-armed men, who
with leveled revolvers commanded the en-
gineer to pull out and be in a hurry, u man
date which, under the circumstances, he
speedily complied with. After leaving the
town in the rear two or three miles the order
was given to slow down, and as the train
was proceeding the pilot struck and ex-
ploded q torpedo, which had been placed
on the track as signal to half
dozen confcderates hidden in the bush
that everything was in readiness for the
cOnsummation of the plot to plunder
the train. The explosion had the effect not
only of drawing the confcderates out of cover,
but Of arousing the attention of the guard in
the express car, who, observing several men
approaching the train, promptly opened fire
on them, hearing which the robbers in the
cab jumped to the ground and ran toward
their companions, at whom by this time the
guard was blazing away most cnergetically.
The robbers opened fire on the guard about
seventy-five shots being exchanged. The en-
gineer pulled the throttle wide open and the
train speeded away, leaving the discounted
freebOoters. The railroad authorities had an
ticipated an attack and had taken the pre-
caution to guard against it. No one on the
train was injured, but it is thought that sew
eral of the robbers were hit Officers were
put in pursuit this morning and there is an
uncontlrmed report tonight that two of the
highwaymen were captured near Morgan this
evening The railroad officials are cndeayor-
ing to ferret out the highwaymen.

A NEW AUDITOR.
Colonel Isaac S. Tichenor Appointed to
Succeed MIR. Vinson.

Colonel Isaac S. Tichenor, who was on
Saturday appointed by the District
Commissioners to succeed Mr.. John T..
Vinson as District auditor to take effect
on the 10th instant, is well known in
this city, where he has resided for about sew
enteen years. Though born in the State of
New York, he early in life went to California,
where he remained for a number of years.
At the commencement of the war he enlisted
as o private in the One hundred and Fifth
New York Volunteers, and for brave and
meritorious service was rapidly advanced in
rank until, at the close of the rebellion, he
held commission as brevet Colonel.
He was appointed to clerkship in
the Quartermaster Generals division of the
Third Auditors office, and in 1871 was made
chief Of that division, which position he has
since held having during that time audited
accounts aggregating over 1925, 100000. He is
member of the Loyal Legion, and is also
well up in Masonry, being past-master of
Harmony Lodge, f. A. NJ, and member of
Mount Vernon Chapter and Columbia Com
mandery knights Templar. He is prop
erty-holder and taxpayer in the District,
and resides at 1911 NJ street northwest. His
long experience in auditing accounts and his
sterling business qualifications render him
peculiarly fitted for the position to which he
has been appointed, and which he will fill
with honor and credit both to himself and
the District

cessor of Marshal Henry. Mr.. McMichael is
warm personal friend of Mr.. Brewster's. He
is an accomplished gentleman, being men,
ber of one of the oldest families in Philadel-
phia. His appointment is considered a good
one. Mr.. McAlichacl is a brother of the can
didate for ngrcssman-at-large on the Inde-
pendent ticket last tnll. He is considered
regular Republican. however, as he supported
General Beaver in ,he campaign The APP
pointment was made out in advance of the

meeting of the Senate, Marshal Henry
could have continued in his office under the
tenure of office act. Mr.. McMichael will be
master of ceremonies at the White House.
1t has been an old custom to give this social
distinction to the marshal of the District, but
when Fred Douglas was appointed to the
marshalship by Hayes he was relieved of this
duty at his own request. Col. Rockwell, one of
the Commissioners of the District, presided Mt
the Hayes receptions and introduced the
guests to the President. He also oticated at
one or two receptions given by President
Arthur last winter.
Attorney General Brewster, in speaking of
the new District marshal, said last night: 81

of Mr.. McMichael to be United States mar
shal for the District of Columbia, and never
made any effort to control it. l don't know
the gentleman, though l was well acquainted
with his father. i understand he is per-
sOnal friend of the President" .,.t

for His Acts at Pensacola,

for His Acts at Pensacola.
Surgeon Alfred NJ. Owen, U. S. n, was
placed in arrest Saturday evening for trial by
general court-martial, on charges preferred by
the Navy Department. DR.. Owen was wit
ness at the recent trial of Capt Alfred
Hopkins. who was dismissed last month from
the Navy for deserving his post as command
ing officer at the Pensacola navy-yard,
and testified that he, as medical officer
at that yard, placed Capt. Hopkins on
the sick list, and giving him GER
tifcatc to that effect, directed him TO
proceed North. For taking the action to
which he testified, DIR. Owen is to be tried
the Navy officials claiming he had no
right so to do, as if medical officers had such
power, it would virtually deprive the depart
ment of the power of command. The rumor
that Dr. Owen was to be tried for any,
thing inaccurate in his testimony had no
shadow of foundation. The trial is ordered
for Tuesday, at 10 a. m, at the navy
yard here before n court composed of the
following named officers: Rcar-AdmiraI An
