\ Minstrel Troupe stranded.

1t will be remembered that the Arm
strong Brothers Minstrel Combination
opened the season in our Theatre in sep
TENDER last, and drew quite large audi
ence ON their first appearance. but the
second entertainment was not profitable
one. The troupe. however, visited several
of the principal cities in the state, but
met with meagre patronage. They pro-
ceeded on their tour, but it seems finally
collapsed ut indianapolis, which town the
troupe reached on the 81 inst. Two per-
fOrmances were given in that city, the
first to fair audience, but after
the second the combination was dissolved,
as above stated. The troupe was managed
by Jack and Harry Armstrong. They or
ganiZed about six weeks ago. opening ut
Baltimore, and played with Indifferent
success until last week. when they reached
Louisville and dropped a cool $1,000 on
the engagement. Upon reaching Indian
apOlis they met the UaVerlys and this
contributed to making the season a poor
one financially. Attempts were made by
Fields and Hanson TO attach the box re-
ceipts. which failed, When efforts were
made to seize the properties, but it was
discovered that they were covered by
bill of sale, issued to George Hammond,
one of the company, in August last.
The Armstrong; stated that there was
due Fields and Hanson about $50,
one having ovcrdrawn $40 and the
other with a balance due OF 500. The
weekly expenses of the combination were
about 81, 200. of which 1923 went for sala-
ries. The managers are behind two weeks
on salary account. but have few other out
standing debts. They are said TO be re-
spOnsible. and announce that they will re-
turn to New York and reOrganiZe for
tour through the South. The defunct com
bination was made up almost entirely of

The Charleston Cotton Fire

The telegraph has already given short
account of the cotton fire in Charleston.
The Nc,rS of yesterday gives full details
as follows:
.'The large brick cotton warehouse on
Boyce's wharf. Just back of the building
occupied by Col. VIM. /. Trenholm as
factors Office. and owned by Mr.. w. b.
Smith. was discovered to be on fire about
twenty minutes past . O'Clock last even
inc. The building, which is two stories
high and runs through to the wharf
above. was stored on the first floor with
about 300 bales of cotton. The flames
spread rapidly. and i'm a very short time,
despite the efforts of the engines and
a delUge of water. burst through
into the upper story. which was empty,
and thence and through the root. The
flooring Of the second floor. with the roof,
timbers and part of the side walls,
fell i'm upon the cotton in about a half
hour. and in a measure smOthcred the fire.
1t is thought that when the ruins are re-
moved il viii be found that a fair proper
ton Of the cotton will be saved in a dam
aged condition. BY II O'Clock the fire
was under control and had been confined
to the building in which il originated.
Extending eastward from the burning
building was a large wooden shed, slowed
with 800 bales of cotton, making the total
number of bales in close proximity 10 the
fire .280. The cotton nearest the burning
warehouse was trucked away and sus-
tanned little if any damage from water.
the cotton. which is valued ut about
$1j. 1000. was all fully insured. The build
ing was valued at about $4,000. The
Guardian of London. the Liverpool. Lon
don and Globe. the London and the City OF
London Insurance Companies have the
bulk of the insurance"

\ jolly Tar WaterIogged.

Last night, as policeman Collins was
patrolling his beat, he saw figure lying
PROSTATE ON the sidewalk on Bryan street,
and approaching the object soon discov-
cred il to be a sailor, completely stupetied
by liquor The policeman. by great exer-
ton. succeeded in getting the man
on his feet He then told the
tar to move on towards the bar
racks. and he would point out the way.
The sailor did So. but as he was nearing
the barracks he made an attempt to trip
up the policeman by throwing his right
foot between the p0lioeman's legs. At
this iuncture the officer gave the jolly tar
a gentle reminder by punching him in the
side with the club. This brought him Ia his
senses. and without any more ado he tol-
lowed the policeman into the barracks.
