ADJUSTMENTS.

"Louis XI," will be given in the Opera
House to morrow evening by w. E. Sheri-
dan, supported by the same company that
assisted him in making such decided sue
cess in Philadelphia last week. On Friday
night the same company will present "King
Lear" Of the play and company the Phil
adelphia Record Of Tuesday, October 1G,
says: "Mr. w. E. Sheridan was very
warmly welcomed back upon the Philadel-
phia stage by troops of friends last night,
though he chose to make his first appear
ance in that most difficult and lugubrious
of all of Sha kespeare's creations, "King
Lear" Perhaps 1t was the difficulty of the
part that induced Mr.. Sheridan to essay 1t
for his first night, in order to show up his
PAGES, now that he is improved by travel
and experience. He certainly has gained in
breadth and capability. His Lear is a most
conscientious and faithful realization of
crazed, maltreated old man who maintains
his dignity in his distress and never forgets
that he Is every inch king, MI. Sheridan's
support thr ughout is very good"
On Saturday night Charles L. Davis In
calvin Joslin" will appear at the Opera
House. The Hudson Daily Journal of
recent date says: Charles l.. Davis calvin
Joslin" troupe, who played at the Opera
House last night, had large audience,
which they highly entertained. Their play
has little plot. 1t is hardly anything more
than a series of improbable adventures, and
contains good deal OF the tragic order for
a comedy, but the admirable way In which
it was presented, the excellent mechanical
the fun made by "Uncle Alvin" and the
splendid music of the large orchestra
pleased everybody, and there was much ap-
plause. The dressing of the troupe was also
fine.
Rice's Surprise Party in "Pop" is the at
traction at the Opera House on Thursday
evening, November 1.
Maggie Mitchell, Wilmington's favorite,
will appear in "Fanchon" and "Earle" at
the Opera House on the evenings of the I'd
and 81 of November.
On the 14th, 18th and 10th "The Silver
Kirg," one OF the most delightful and real.
istic dramas of the American stage, will be
presented at the Opera House by the same
company that made 1t such a success in
Philadelphia recently.
One of the greatest hits of the season
"7-20-S" will be played at the Opera House
on Monday evening, October 20, by one of
Augustin Daly's best companies. This
comedy is now under a weeks engagement
IN Baltimore and is meeting with as much
success as 1t did in New York and Phila-
delphia, where it created furore.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather n
fair sized audience was at the Opera House
last evening to enjoy the eexcellententertain-
mcnt given by the Smyth Post. The must
cal part of the program was particularly
good and the other specalties were highly
entertaining. Tho youthful drummer,
Samuel K. Wolf, aged seven, received a
| regular ovation.

Small, who sin Jail here on charge OF horse
stealing, has not partaken of particle of
food for the last 13 days. His mother and
sister visited him last week, bringing with

examination and found that he is In perfect
health and his stomach in its normal condi-

threatening his fellow.p prisoners and the
sheriff with vengeance whenever an oppor-
tunity shows itself He declares that he
will be acquitted on the charge of horse
stealing made against him, and says that he
can only be convicted of an attempt to
break jail, for which he believes the court
Will not punish him very severely, Just
what his motives are keeping up his long
fast no one can tell.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
rcontributed by the W. G. T. U. J

Contributes Oy the W. C' l. G'J
The alumni of Thomas Jefferson's pet
University of Virginia refrained from hav-
ing wine at their alumni dinner this year
for the first time In their history. They said
they ''did this out of regard to the W. G.
T. IT,"
The alumni of the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy have condemned "the sale of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage In drug
stores as growing evil, tending to degrade
the profession of pharmacy and damaging
the morals Of the community"
Commissioner Eaton has written to the
president of the National W. @. 7. U. that
he will gladly do all In his power to pro-
mulgate scientific temperance tru' his from
his department In the Government. This is
certainly a large offset to that other branch
OF the governmental service which promul-
gates the idea that 30 cents on every gallon
OF spirits will stihe governmental conscience
and render tho liquor traffic a Legitimate
leeeh on the vitals of the nation.

EIGHT YOUNG VICTIMS.
FATAL EXPLOSION IN KINGS
TON, PA.
EIGHT CHILDREN BADLY BURNED
Terrible Explosion In - squib Factory
Eight Children Wrapped in Flames and
ShOcklngIy Injured.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 23.-A terrible
report, which startled all the people of King
ston, took place this afternoon in that vii
'lage. 1t resembled the noise of a great
powder explosion, and such it turned out to
be. The Excelsior Gas Squib Factory en-
ploys eight hands, all children, ranging
In ages from IL to Is, in the manufacture OF
squibs for use In the mines in firing blasts
About 1 O'Clock, just as the last employe
entered the building. a terrible explosion
took place, and in an instant the whole
building was wrapped in flames aud the un-
fortunate employees lay among the burning
umbers writhing in the most terrible agony.
The clothes were entirely stripped from their
bodies, and altogether they presented sick
ening sight. A great crowd In few min
utes congrep ated about the burning build
ing, the miners turning out in masses, and
the excitement ran high.
Assistance was rendered as soon as possi-
BILE, and the unfortunate urchins were con-
veyed to their homes. Walter Jones, the
Oldest employe, was horribly burned, the
flesh hanging in threads from his body. He
cannot live. Eight were injured altogether,
and 1t is only possible for thr e of them to
live. Their names are: Mary Quinn, 16
years; Martha Morris, 16; James Morris, IL;
Hattie Moss, aged Is; John Evans, IL;
James Steele, 10; and Lizzie Edwards, ID.
The real cause of the explosion is un-
known, but 1t is thought to have been caused
by spark from a wood fire which was burn
ing In the room where the children were
working. The children are mostly the sons
and daughters Of miners. Hattie Noss told
her mother before going to work that she
had been inspired that she was going to die
to- day.
One Of the victims, Matte James, died to-
night. Other deaths are expected before
morning. A vast crowd visited the scene of
the disaster tonight.

TUE pAv urAp Suicide.
Tho Body Identified as that OF MIllicent
LewIB-A Mysterious Case.

Bar HEAD, N. j., Oct. 23.-The body OF
the woman which washed ashore near the
Bay Head dock yesterday has been identi-
fed as Miss Millcent Lewis by Mr.. Samuel
Morrison, of Bsyvile. Nothing is known
of the dead woman's antecedents. she
came to Bayville In July last and boarded
In one Of the summer cottages. She was
known as a handsome and entertaining
young lady, and gave her age as 25. A fa-
vOrite with everybody, she was welcomed in
the homes of all the well-to-do residents of
the place, and when the summer season
closed she was asked TO accept home in
Samuel Morrison's house, between whose
daughter and Miss Lewis a strong attach
ment had sprung up.
1t wac noticed at times, after Miss Lewis
accepted home with Miss Morrison, the
iormer became very despondent. Every
thing was done to make her comfortable,
and good elocutionist, q talented singer
pianoforte player, she was much sought
after in society. Her purse was even re-
plenished by Farmer Morrison's daughter.
On October letter arrived addr essed to
Miss Lewis upon which the postmark was
New York. The letter, she said, was from
an uncle in the metropolis who desired her
to come to New York and accept lucrative
position as a music teacher In the Board of
Education. On the day following (Tues-
day) Miss Morrison noticed that her newly
acquired friend was given much to weeping.
The next morning Miss Lewis started
ostensibly for New York, and that was
the last seen of her alive. This
morning the body was identified by
Miss Morrison. A trunk left at Farmer Nor
rison's contains flne clothing, most of which
is marked with the initials ~. II. L." the
same as the clothing on the dead body are
marked. Farmer Morrison says that he
thought as much Of the dead girl as If she
had been one OF his own daughters, and that
he will give her q decent burial in his own
family plot II the body is not claimed by her
friends, the knowledge of who they are not
being known, the dead girl having done
away with all her correspondence.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Oct. 23.-One OF

two small boys. At the southeast corner of
