A Good Play Vol presented BY . Fine
Company.

Company.
1t was certainly a fattering reception
which "The Professor" presented by the
Madison Square theatre company, received
in Fulton opera house last evening, from
one of the most fashionable audiences of
the season, who occupied every seat and
made standing room only" the rule for
those who came late. 1t was evident last
night that the theatre-goiDg public of
this city hold in pleasant remem-
brance the delicious drolleries Of this
favorite comedy. for the applause
that attested their appreciation of
the play and acting was frequent aud un-
stinted. In "rhe Professor" the author has
presented light comedy that is not only
absolutely void of the least Of objection
able features, but is SO replete with hu
mOrOus situations, startling surprises. and
withal an eleva*ing sentiment Of poetry
and honor, that to see it is an ample relax
alton for the tired woman or man, whose
enjoymen of it from the beginning to the
end cannot but be the most sincere.
Mr.. w. H. Gillette, (who is the
author). as the Professor, did well, and
the varied complications into which he
quite unintentiOnally plunges himself in
following his aunt's advice to marry over
come his propensity to scientific analysis
and abstract reasoning and render his
visit to the mountains succession OF
troubles and mishaps. As DAISY Bromne
Miss Belle Jackson won, as she deserved,
unmeasured applause. The character, from
it's very ingenuousness, is one difficult
of impersonation. But by a complete sur
render of herself to the requirements
Miss Jackson gave an exquisitely beauti-
full portrait of the neglected child whom
nature has taught her own eloquent
language gaily chartered by the squirrel
and babbled by the purling brook among
the rocks, while with her acting was
united voice most agreeably in unison
| with the sentiments and pretty artless
ness of heart that has from infancy been
free from the taints of the uDwhOlesome
circumstances which have surrounded her.
In giving to the public the " Professor, y
with Miss Jackson as Daisy Broune, MIR.
Gillette has placed poem ON the stage
The other members of the company fully
sustained the requirements of their char
acters and gave one of the most agreeable
evenings Of pleasure of the season.

THE New York Legislature proposes
to require the elevated railroads Of New
York city to reduce their rate of fare to
five cents. Under the law, as now IN
derstOod, it is not within the power of a
Legislature to make such requirement
of a corporation it has chartered !:
though with the growing sense of the
advisability of holding corporations
under the control of the state
there is no telling how long the
present Interpretation of the law will
stand which fOrbids state to greater
power of control of corporation than of
individual business. The New York
elevated railroads, holding a monopoly Of
their business, may make them oppres-
sive. Surface railroads chartered in the
state undoubtedly are oppressive very
often in their charges. The public need
protection. 1t ought to have been given
them in the grant of the charter. But
it was not and the question arises
whether the state is now powerless. If
the evil becomes too great to be pa
tiently borne the law will have to bend
to the necessary remedy.

KILLED IN A NINE,
SIxty-TwO Miners kllled Ry q Cave-In at
Brentwood, Ill.


Brattiwood, Ill.
A special dispatch to the Chicago Daily
Neus from Joliet, ILL.,, says mine at
Braidwood. a mining town 20 miles south
of that point, caved in and imprisoned rs
men. A subsequent dispatch to the same
paper says As of these miners
are dead. The Inter- Oceans Joliet
special says the mine which caved
in was the Diamond mine, oper-
ated by stock company. The floods and
recent thaw had lOoSened the earth ObOut
the mouth of the pit and landslide began
about 3 o'clock, which in a few minutes
imprisoned some 80 miners. Reports from
Braidwood are very Indefinite. but place
the loss of life at from 80 to so. Two
thousand men are ready to work as a
rescuing party, but only few can get at
the place at once. The cave-in is nearly
80 feet square. Braidwood is one of tho
largest coal mining places in the state.
A brief interview with A. L. Sweet,
president of the four mines comprising
the Diamond mine company, confirms the
report of the terrible disaster. Mr.. Sweets
Information is that 300 men were in the
various shafts when the ground sagged in
under the weight of the water that had at
once saturated and loosened it. Sixty
two persons were in the shaft which caught
the bulk of the falling debris, and which
was instantly flooded. Everyone of them
was either drowned or smothered inside of
five minutes. Their bodies are now
buried beneath many tons of earth. A
hundred acres have been excavated. All
the miners except those in the one uufort-
unate shaft escaped. Digging and pump.
ing are going on vigorously, but it will be
many hours before the first bodies can be
reached. The mine was of the ordinary
kind, supplied with regular shafts and
to be we'll protected from &C.
cident. The wires to Joliet are in bad
shape, and no full report has yet been re-
ceived from the scene.

into the mineral the first of this week.
The mica is said to be Of good quality
and fair size.
superintendent Mcdonald Of the
Grand Junction was in town Wednes-
day settling up the accounts OF the com
pany for the month of December. We
understand that he received information
the same day from headquarters to hold
himself in readiness to begin work on
the mine.
Pioneer: Martin Chapman and others

Pioneer, 80: We have just been fu;-
nished with a sample of mica 81 by Z
inches, from the Nellie mine, situated
near Custer, that eXcells anything we
have seen as a product of this or any
other country. 1t combines all of the
essentials of tirst-class mica, being of ex-
tremely fine texture, perfectly transpar-
ent, is of the most flexible nature. We
ought to know something of mica and
regard the speciman left AS being OF the
best quality. Judging from present APP
p%eArances mica mining in the Hills is
destined to exceed that Of any other
locality in the world. The new Uses to
which mica is being put, are likely to
keep the demands in excess Of the sup
ply. This facts capitalists are likely to
take cognizance of and invest their mon
ey accordingly.
