AMUSEME ENTS.


The First Regiment Bands concert, on
the 18th, will be treat to lovers of that
kind OF music. The proceeds will be de-
voted to the strengthening of the hand, and
for this reason they should be greeted by a
crowded house.
"Iolanthe" will be produced here ON
Monday next by the Rice Opera Company,
now playing in Philadelphia. The Press of
that city says "Iolanthe' is so charmingly
and effectively given at the Walnut by the
Rice Opera Company, that its grand success
is not to be wondered at. Every role is well
filled, and the performance is truly a feast
of Sullivan harmony and Gilbert drollery.
A special feature of attractiVeness is the
very youthful prima donna, Miss Ida Mule,
whose Phyllis is remarkably good. Miss
Mule is a clever little actress, and her de-
lightful singing astonishes all who hear it.
Capital impersonations of Ioldnthe and the
massive Fairy Queen are presented by Miss
Rose Dana and Miss Rose Sangee, while
Strephon has a capable exponent in w. H.
West. The chorus and orchestra are large,
and the scenery and costumes very hand
some.
The statesman, crank and noisy editor,
the 'tfemale thinker" with aggressive
views, and men who ''want to see the
editor" can see themselves in "Inter-
views" at the Opera House on the 1lth,

his wife as Florence WolUerton, an heiress
The play is highly spoken of by the press.
The program which will be rendered by
the Weber Quartet at their concert in thi:
city on Tuesday next speaks for itself. The
sale of seats for the concert indicates
crowded house. Those familiar with thii
excellent organization say it richly deserves
the patronage it will receive in this city. Tht

smallpox in Newark.

Newark is having a small -pox scare and
numerous eases have already been reported.
Several persons with the disease have been
brought to the hospital in this city, where
two or three have died. A depraved black
man, one of those who died in the hospital
had much to do with the spread of the
disease. When taken he declared it his in
tention to innoculate ''all the d---d mig
gers in the place." and al once moved
around among that class. He was finally,
almost by force, taken to the hospital. In
the house where he lived there are now
three persons down with the smallpox, and
on account of its proximity to the public
school it has been found necessary to close
that institution. The cases will be removed
to the hosDital to-dav

Roofing Contracts.

James F. Wood & Co. have received dur
ing the past week great many orders for
roofing with tin plate both new and old
buildings. They have torn off great many
gravel and tar roofs and put on tin, and also
cover over shingles with tin, making first
class job. They are also busy on black and
galvanized sheet-iron work for manufac-
turers in the city. The prospects for busy
season with this firm are very encouraging.

New EnstIe ArOused.

The regular quid nWncs of New Castle are
much interested over the proposed new rail
road through that city, chartered by the
present Legislature, to begin work three
months after the charter was granted and
to finish in 10 months. There is much spec
ulation as to what route will be taken, and
those holding ground likely to be en-
croached upon are figuring up how much
they shall claim as compensation and dam
ages. One story is that the line will be run
along Water street and another that it will
follow the river closely. One enthusiast de-
clares that if the road is finished the popu-
lation of the city will soon be doubled.

THE NEW MARKET.
A Better Showing on Madison Sire
To-day.

A Better showing ON Madison Street
To-day.
The Madison street market made
decidedly better showing this morning than
on Wednesday. The wagons were backed
up in better style and closer together. The
market to-day began at Fifth street and
ended at the fish market, a little below
Second. The prices asked were slightly be-
low the King street prices. Sales were pro
nounced by the farmers as brisk. Unlike
Wednesday last, the market contains all
kinds of produce, but the quantity of meats
was not so great as at the first attempt.
The fishmen occupied positions below
Second street and displayed on their stands
herring, founder, sun6sh, rock fish, shad,
halibut and other varieties. They speak
very encouragingly of the prospects of a
big trade.
The market will no,doubt prove success
full for the number OF buyers.

Levy Court Inspecting Bridges.

By an examination of the Third and
Market street bridges yesterday by the Levy
Court it was found that both of those struc-
lures were in very bad condition, and
liable to be the cause of a serious accident
at any time. No action was taken at the
subsequent meeting at the Court House and
the Court adjourned until next Thursday
morning.

A ConstabIe,s Experience.

Peter Springer, one of the new county
constables, met with very unpleasant ex-
perienee yesterday, while serving land
lord IS distress warrant upon William Gallo
way, in South Wilmington. Galloway,
backed by five or six muscular women, made
a violent assault upon the constable, and he
was obliged to beat hasty retreat, carrying
a large lump on his head and several
scratches on his face.

If the defendant pays at once there is no
legal charge for bond or commitment,
and the Justices costs would be 80 cents,
and no more. If the defendant is dis
charged the county will pay the justice 80
cents and the constable n cents. One wit
ness is entitled to 46 cents, provided the
defendant is adjudged to be guilty, and 56
cents is added to S2.07, making $263. But
If the defendant is discharged the
witness must look to the person who had
him subp9naed, las witness fees in such cases
are not paid by the county. There can be
no charge for bond unless the defendant
is held for court or to keep the peace, and if
he furnishes the bail there can be no fee for
commitment. A commitment is given
to a constable as authority to hold
the prisoner until he finds bail or
is taken to Jail. The enormous bills col
