Grnna operntic Event.

Manager lilser has effected arrange
ments for Il season of opera by Grau's
famous English Opera Co. for two
nights and Il matinee, commencing
Friday, November 10Th. This Is one
OF the oldest opera organizations in
America, This il his first visit in the
state. There will be no increase of
prices, and we predict large and fash
ionahle audiences that SO good COM
pany deserves Note what the Gal
weston News says of the company.
"Billee Taylor WAS the oper, selected
with which TO introduce the Grau COM
pany last night There was Il large au-
diencc present, and it Is not saying n
whit too much to assert that the
ligh, and catchy piece MS rendered
made very favorable impression
The company Is not u large one, but
il has the merit of being strong In its
principals, strong in the chorus and
evenly balanced in its ensemble. Mr.
Alonzo Hatch, in the title role, showed
himself Ia be the possessor of n pure
light tenor voice, with which he com
bined admirable qualities as an actor.
Miss Bessie Grey's Phoebe was II
charming piece Of Characterization.
Petite, pleasant and sweet-voiced, she
is "a delightiul little success. Miss
TIME McHcnry as Eliza throws into
the part refreshing degree of origin
ality, and adds much to the strength
OF the cast. Mr.. Willet Seaman
MS the captain, Fred Frear ms Ben
Barnaele and Paul Bown as Crab, were
much better in their lines than has
been yet seen or heard here in Billee
Taylor. Miss Hattie Anderson, Miss
Bebe Winning and Mr.. Nichols were
strong in both singing and acting, Al.
together the Messrs. GraM can be said
to have presented last night the best
looking company OF people, and one oI
the best comic opera companies that
has been here this season.

A BAD HIP.
An Unfortunate Push Puts One on william
Bakor.

Yesterday morning messengers came
to the city after Doctors Daniel and
Moore, with the statement that man
had his thigh broken, and each put oil
in post haste to the scene of the disas-
ter, which was about three or -four
hundred yards east of the Santa lie
depot, William Baker was found by
DIR. Daniel, who first arrived, lying on
the prairie near the track complaining
that he was unable to move. He was
taken, after the arrival of DR.. Moore,
to the baggage room of the depot.
There he was stripped and critical
examination made, resulting in find
ing that no bones were fractured, but
his hip was badly hurt. He was con-
veyed TO the house of John Turk, a
relative of his, who was with him
when he was hurt. They stated that
they were on the train to Dallas, and
were pushed or the train. Turk
lighted on his feet, but Baker was not
so fortunate. He was drinking, which
may account for his mishap. When
he rolled off he lost a ten dollar gold
piece and two and half one. These
could not be found. The injuries he
received are not serious, but Will lay
him up for several weeks.

A Considerable Thief.

Monday night between midnight
and day someone entered the house of
DIR. w. A. Adams, corner of Taylor
and jackson, and relieved him of his
pocket change. Entrance was made
through the parlor, which was I'M
locked, into His bedroom. His vest
was removed from the bed post on
which II was hanging and carried
out into the back yard. There search
of all the pockets revealed the sum of
fifteen dollars the doctor says though
other physicians, in view of the dull
times In their line, shake their heads
ut the amount, After removing the
cash, the thief hung the vest up in the
peach tree, neglecting to take the gold
watch in one of the pockets, probably
because II contained the DOCTORS name
on the case, which might have lead to
its unfortunate identification hereafter.
DIR. Adams says If the thief will come
10 him for a prescription, no questions
Will be asked and a box of pills will
be furnished free of charge.

Poor Playing by the Tronton-saturdav,s
sames by League, American Assoe1a-
don and Amateur Clubs.

There was an exhibition game at Quick.
step Park, Saturday afternoon, between The
Qucksteps and the Trentons, but it was 4
very poor exhibition OF ball playing, As far
as the visitors were concerned. They made
10 errors, and played regular 'sbaby''
game throughout.
Ihe home team, however, played a good
game, and except in few instancea
showed up well. Pyle pitched,
and, as usual was very effective
striking out ten of the Trenton
oatters. He was well supported by Smith
the new man from Germantown, who AID
some hne work, although it was his first an
pearance behind the bat for a long while.
Albert at third and McKenna at short were
evidently uneasy in these Ito them) strange
positions, but their errors were not dis-
astrous.
snyder had two muffs at first, but he re-
deemed himself by a number of fine plays.
AT the bat only Quinton and DIVER made
any show for the Trenton, but for the home
club everybody got in good hits excepting
Albert, who was in hard luck. He went
out four times on foul tips, and
when, finally, in the eighth inning.
ne MT the ball good, solid thump, the left
lelder just happened to be in a good posi-
lion to catch it on the fly. Bresnaham made
ave runs, but Benners, although he made
some rattling hits, was unfortunate In being
left on bases every time.
lhe full score of the game is rs follows:

THE CITY ELECTION.
A LIGHT VOTE AND BUT LIT
TIE INTEREST.
PIoKTLs MAKES A HARD FIGHT.
A Contest in Which the Results are Evenly
Divided--Fuil Returns from All the Dis
triots.

Saturdays Municipal Election was the
| quietest Wilmington has known for years
and passed of without quarrel, and with,
out an arrest growing out of any contests
around the various polling places
The polls opened between II and 10
O'Clock in the forenoon, and 1t was soon
| appar, mt that the vote would be very light.
In the uptown wards, where Republican
majorities are generally obtained the Demo-
Gratis found great difficulty in getting out
their voters, while in the down town
wards, where Democratic majolfties
are the rule, the Republicans ex-
perienced the same troubles. The oply
general ticket was that for assessors in the
two districts, end as these offices carry no
political Significance, the lack of any real
occasion for political excitement was the
cause of the light vote. In the Tenth ward
the Republicans made no contest what
ever, and in the Eleventh the independent
candidate, Mr. Edwards, failed to affect the
Democratic vote, and Mr.. Newell, the Dem
ocratic candidate, received the usual
majority.
The Fifth ward contest was watched with
great deal OF interest, owing to the Re-
publican opposition to Mr.. II. F. Pickels,
and the independent candidacy of John
Manlove, prominent colored man of the
ward. The negro, however, was evidently
ION the make" as after the failure of his
attempts to make terms with Mr.. Car
michael, the Democratic candidate, he
withdrew from the field in favor of Mr..
Pickels. just before the opening of the polls,
and worked hard for the "Boss" all after.
noon. The dangerous symptoms Of the can
vass had very much alarmed Mr.. Pickels,
and he worked with all his old-time political
energy. AS result, he got out a pretty
fair Republican vote, aud as the Democratic
vote was very light he pulled through by
about the usual Republican majority Of the
ward.

an ardent Democrat, always TAX
ing an active interest in our

ly suggested for the Democratic gubernato-
rial nomination.
