An early morning 4lre.

An alarm of fire, struck from box i6,
shortly before six o'clock this morning,
brought out the fire department., The fire
was in the yard of George M. Steinman &
Co, corner of Beaver and Miiflin streets,
and was a trihing affair. Two empty
varnish barrels and few boxes were
soorched. The fire is believed TO have Ie-
suited from spontaneous combustion.
Chief Howell requests the INTELLIGEN
GER 70 call the attention of those having
keys to be careful when striking the alarm,
to pull the lever down only once aud
then to close the door. This morning the
party striking the alarm did not under
stand his business, AMI the consequence
was the fire alarm on the truck house
struck irregularly.
Another aud perhaps the more probable
theory OF the fire Is that it was caused by
some offal that had been thrown into the
yard in the evening after the boiling of oil
during the day. ...

THE ROM ANY RYE,
A aoOu Presentation OF - Popular bi.ta
drama at ghe Opera House.

A Good Presentation OF u Popular msto
drama at the UpeFa hOass.
A large audience witnessed the first
presentation IN this city of G., Il. Simms'
spec ctacular mslodrama, "Ths Romany
Rye" 1t was received with high favor
by the audience, who punctuated its pro.
grsss by frequent outbursts of applause.
There is little in the play that will survive
more than an ephemeral popularity. 1t
seems to have been constructed under tho
directions of the stage artist, Az most OF the
dialogue appears to have been subordinated
to tho scenic development. As put upon
the stage by the Brooks & Dickson com
pany, it il a very clever performance. The
best possible under the circumstances is
done with the limited space on the stage,
and at two OF three points the soonery was
strikingly realistic, notably in tue case of
Craigsnest, tke river Thames, and the
cellar of the Black Croft.
The characters of the drama were fairly
well presented. Mr.. 9. Handyside made
capable jack Uearns, while Mr.. Joseph
Il. Conyers was most excellent Boss
Rniuett. Nine Neuvie, in tho dual parts
of hIomi Lee and Mother Shipton, scored a
decided hit, her acting in the cellar OF the
Black Croft showing very superior
capacity. Miss Katie Baker, made fair
Gsrtis Heckstt, the part seeming to require
more animation than given it. Mr.. w. 4.
johnson, as Joe Iiecksn, essayed the
character Of tho aged reprobate success
fully. The balance of the support ranged
from fair to middling. The same play
will be produced again this evening, when
another large audience will doubtless be
present.

We are not sure that we know the
names OF all the candidates FOR president,
or Of al the political parties that have
presented candidates. The American
Political Alliance" however, is the last
TO report, with candidate from Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Ellsworth, and a
national headquarters just opened
on Broad street, Philadelphia
The idea of the Alliance is that
none but Americans should I've put
on guard; remark which is quite
familiar tn us ~ the foundation stone of
the old Know Nothing party, That
expired when the Republican party got
into full blast, and possibly is revived
now to inherit the fixtures and good
will Of that concern now sup
posed to be on its dying legs.
We know no other reason for the presen
'ation at this time Of presidential
Know Nothing candidate. The party
in charge Of the scheme of course expect
no electoral votes this time but they
must see some advantage in the future
in getting themselves ready for possible
political inheritance.
There will be enough organizations IN
existence to claim the Republican body
when it is dead. They sit as vultures on
the surrounding tree tops, awaiting the
death rattle of the sick beast, over
whose remains they expect to be shortly
contending. The Know Nothing, the Pro.
hlbitionists, the Female Suffragists, and
the representatives of all the other ideas
that have vitality enough to aspire to
presidential ticket, will fight desperately
with each other over the Republican in.

Nothing beast 1t swallowed may swallow
