Lights O'LOn don.

Long before the doors at the Opera
House we're opened last evening, the
place was besieged by an immense
crowd anxious to secure the necessary
pastboards that would entitle them TO
admission. From the time the box
Office opened, the tickets were sold ior
the lower part of the house with the
understanding that there was stand
ing room only" A great many persons
on hearing this announcement turned
away and would not go in AZ all. =,
If the capacity of the building would
have been one half greater, there Is nc
doubt but it would have been filled
AS it was, every inch OF 81 ace was oc
cupied and hundreds of persons stood
without complaining for nearly foul
hours to witness this beautiful play
The scenery was magnificent, especial
ly the view of the grounds Of Armytagt
Hall, the road from Chatham 10 Lon
don in the moonlight, and Regents
Park by moonlight. =,
The plot of the play Is deep and wei
laid and the characters were portrayed
in a lifelike and realistic manner.
The music was we'll rendered anC
greatly appreciated by the audience
The company did not arrive in thi
city until about noon yesterday and i
seems almost marvellous that they wer'
enabled, in the short time they had 10
arranging their properties, to presen
the niece in such an excellent manner
They will perform at York, Pa, thi
evening. and left this city en- route TO
that place on the 2 80 train this morn
Ing. To morrow night they will appea
in Harrisburg, and If the manage
could make arrangements to presen
the play in this city again this season
The announcement would be hsile'
with delight, and another crowde
house assured.

An IntereutIaE story Of a Debt.

WASHIGTON, November 1O.-The
Treasury Department has just received
from the trustee of the bankrupt estate
Of Jay Cooke x Co., the sum OF $25OO, in
payment of claim of $4,000. An in
tereSting story is told in connection
with this case. In 1874 one Mr.. Mason
proposed to tOcompromise his indebtedness
10 the Government on official account
by the payment of $4,000. His friend,
one Seymour, of Boston, brought The
money to Washington for that pur-
pose, but the Department routine being
slow the money was deposited with
Jay Cooke & Co., by Seymour in his
own name 10 the meantime Seymour
died, and Jay Cooke & Co, became
bankrupt, When the debt was subse-
QueDtly compromised o written assign.
meDt to the United States from his ad.
miniStrator Of the deposit account was
accepted and the claiAa was accordingly
made by the Government on the trustee
dJay Cooke 81 Co.
The claim, however, was treated is
that Of the depositUr, Seymour, by the
trustee, and the dividends declared
from time to time were set aside and
retained. Part of these dividends were
IN scrip or stock Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, which was at the time oi
ANAL value. This scrip or stock re-
NAMED with the trustees until recently
NAA 1t was transferred to the Govern
9Nk which thereby received not only
@amount of the original claim bu'
70 per cent. additional.

1aThoae Who Dance

The time is rapidly approaching when
the ball season will be fully inaugura-
ted and lovers of this fascinating
amusement are looking forward to the
opening of the ball season with consid-
erable interest and the various organi-
cations who intend giving receptions
this season viii no doubt meet with as
much, If not better success than they
did last year. On account Of the ina
bility OF the managers Of the Shields
Library Association to procure a hall
large enough for public ball on
Thanksgiving Eve, they have rented
Webster's dancing Academy for that
evening and will give select ball and
no one will be admi ted excepting those
holding complimentary tickets. The
balls given by this association have al
ways been attended by large crowds
and have always been soCiable affairs
On the same night the newly organized
German Turner Association will give
ball in Germania Hall and Others are
announced as follows
East End Assembly, December u
Morocco Finishers Assembly, Decem-
Der 13, Fame Active Association, De

John Tice, Philadelphia paper in

came to that city o short time since to
repIenish his stock.
Completing his purchases, which
were in due time deposited on the
docks to be shipped per steamer, Mr..
Tice thought it advisable to keep his
eye carefully upon his goods until they
could be taken on board.
Among them was fine Bucks Coun'
| ty cheese, weighing about sixty-tive
pounds, upon which, for want of better
accommodation, the weary grocer seat
ed himself, as he watched the remand
or of his property on the wharf.
While thus seated, calculating the
profits he would realize upon his pur-
chases, and every now and then solac-
ing his nasal organ from yellow"
snuff box, two nice young gentlemen
approached and entered into conversa-
ton.
"You take snuff, sir ?" said young
man number one.

Mr.. Tice said; certainly" and in
serted his thumb and tirger in the
strangers box.
The moment he placed it to his nose
he was seized with violent sneezing.
At every sneeze he lifted himsel
about foot from the cheese on which
he was sitting.
While he was doing this, sharpel
number tw was doing his share OF th'
programme.
As Mr.. Tice gave the third sneeze h,
pushed the cheese from under him; anC
in its stead placed peck measure.
AS Mr.. Tice was sNeezing for thu

THE AnARAMAPLAN.
How ahe election was held at Sell
ma an told by nm oy Q witness.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Sscond Au-
ditor Reynolds has returned from AL
sbama, where he went to make Repub-
lican speeches and to voIe. Everything
was 30 fair and orderly to all appear
ance up to the day of election that he
was hardly ablo to credit the assertion
of Republicans that the Democrats
would practise frauds to secure the vic.
tory.
He determined therefore to watch the
process Of voting in Selma, where he
war, and satisfy himself, If possible.
what grounds there ought to be for II
suspicion OF irregularity. Everything
apparently was fair and regular in the
reception Of the votes.
Two lines were formed, one being
composed of white and the other of col
ored voters. None were challenged and
10 efforts to delay voting were noticed.
The crowd was kept thirty feet from
the polling place, as required by law.
The Republicans were nevertheless 10
thoroughly convinced that false count
ing had been determined upon by the
Ie nOcrats that they decided to keep a
tally list of Republicans who voted, and
for this purpose they placed table
with ink and paper upon 1t in the yard.
By noon the line of white voters had
dwindled away to nothing, while that
of coIored vo ers was full, and contin-
ued SO during greater portion OF the
day. Early In the afternoon party
Of five or six young white men ap-
preached the table where the Republi-
can tally list was kept and one OF them
acoostinR the tally man asked
"WhaC are you doing this for ~
ave are keeping tally of the Repub-
lican voters" was the reply.
"Will you take my name 2" was the
"Certainly you will vote Ropub'
lican ticket.
! "Let me sec how 1t is DONE" said the
Democrat, leaning over the table as II
TO sCrutiniZe the work. Immediately
he seized the papers, which then con
tanned the names OF more than six hun
dred voters, and returning among his
fellows tore them to pieces and threw
them on the ground. Mr.. Reynolds
who had Witnessed this affair, asked
the tally man why he didu't protest ol
do something to defend his tally list
|"Of what use?" was the reply. "Didn'
you see those fellows put their handI
in their hip pocket? l saw 1t mean
fight and | should have only lost my
life for nothing"
After the polls closed and while th'
votes were being counted Mr., Eeynold
asked Democrats who were standlnI
about awaiting the result how man!
Democratic votes they supposed hat
been cast. The highest estimate wa
800. Mr.. Reynolds who had been pres
ent during the whole day, thought thl
estimate was about fifty in excess
the true number. When the result wa
declared it was found that 1900 Vott
had been cast, The Democratic cand
