AT THE THEATRE.
Robert l.. Downing Scores a Hit in
Tally HO."

Tally HO."
joaquin Miller's comedy -drama, "TalIy
HO," was seen for the first time In Savan-
nah last night. Considering the weather,
the house was fair. Mr.. Robert l.. Down
ing, tavorite IN Savannah, is the star.
The piece of itself, from literary view,
is intrlnsicalE good and contains many
pretty gems OF sentiment. Although a
Western drama, not single pistol shot IS
fired. Hank Monk" who is made to
figure as the principal in the drama, is no
imaginary character
Mr. Downing as monk" is very pleas
ing. He gives an excellent impersona-
ton of the rough, but honest and manly
pioneer of 20 years and more ago. His
songs, Italy Ho" and "Tom Moore"
were enthusiastically received and re-
peated three times each. His rendition OF
the drinking song, "Tom Moore" was very
clever.
incidentally Mr.. Downing graphically
relates the story OF Horace Greeley's ride
with the old stage driver, monk" over
the mountains to Nevada City. The de
scription is a bit of fine word painting
well worth listening to,
the support with the exception of the
veneered villain "Crabtree," j. A. Janus,
is more than fairly cast. '|Crabtree" was
certainly intended TO be a strong part,
and whoever had the casting
of the play, ought in justice
TO the author and the public to give Mr.
Downing better actor as rival for
R0sie's love. esquire Brown" W. w. Tay-
Tor, and "Sailor Bill" j. w. Kali, were
good, j. +. Sldley is tolerable in his Ger
man comedy part.
"ROsIe, the Rose OF the Sierrae," Miss
Florence White, made very good I'M
preston, and Miss Nelly Cox as Betty"
Hanks" protege, made a hit with her
songs.
The performance closed with the laugh
able farce, "a Regular Fix" The same
characters appear in the farce as in
"rally Ho," with the addition of Miss
Ada COlvin as Mrs. Carter.v
The same bill will be given at the matt
nee this afternoon and again tonight.
The whip used by MIR. Downing ~
Tally HO" has plate Of Sierra gold and
another OF silver on the stock.

Parties who have been in Birmingham
in the interest Of the Memphis, Selma and
Brunswick say that the intention is to
make the line an independent one, and
the following from the New Orleans Pic

OF 1870 miles, are SAID b. be in the interest
Of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad company The route is
via Holly Springs, to which point the

any outside aid, and virtually own it al
ready.

An important movement in East Ten
nessee securities 1s said to be pending.
Several weeks since Mr. George l. Seney
went abroad, ostensibly for his health, but
in reality to dispose Of bis holdings in the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to
English capitalists. His proposition was
received with attention, and an investi-
CATION was commenced. Mr.. Seney holds
immense blocks OF all these securities,
the exact amount Of which is not known.
The basis OF MS offer to sell was, it is un-
derstood, as follows: He wants go for the
c0nsols, 20 for the incomes, 10 for the pre-
ferred stock, and 6 for the common.
Some OF the purchasers were favorably
disposed towards the cOnsols, but did not
think the junior securities worth any
thing. Much of the business connected
with the negotiations is in the hands Of
Mr.. f. d Pattern, OF the Gallatin Ma

Situation OF Ansirs at the Chisholm mills.
The Proptietors Determined. ..'
CLEVELAND, Sept. 1S.-Peace reigns in
the vicinity Of the Chisholm rolling mill.
Mr.. s. Il. Chisholm, when spoken to yes
terday, said that his firm was ready to so
to work, but he would shut down for FIVE
years and allow the works to rot before
they would accede to the men. They
have never won strike, and arc not going
to win this one. When asked about the
wages paid, Mr.. Chisholm said that all
skilled labor was paid the Pittsburgh
scale, price, but when told by a reporter
that his finishing departments were du-
plicates OF Pittsburgh mills upon which
there had never been q fixed scale, but
which was matter left Tor the men and
manufacturers to arrange, he msde no re-
ply and did not contradict the statement.
He intimated that II the Mayor had the
right kind Of backbone the mill would
have been started up long ago. The Mayor
was seen in his office in the City Hall, and
when questioned aboutthe Chisholm affair,
thought that before the works could
be started, there would be trouble. A
committee Of wofkmen called on him
yesterday. He understands the situation
so far as q municipal officer is concerned
thoroughly, and has learned that four
tiiths Of the men are willing to 60 to work.
The Mayor handled the Chisholm trouble
with great care, and his course is COM
mended by the leading citizens OF Cleye-
land. The police Of Cleveland have not
been specially armed for the protection Of
the Chisholm property. The ciubs and
REVIEWERS were ordered mostly from neces-
sity, because q number OF each were
needed, and the city authorities thought
it best 70 provide the whole police force
with an equal outfit
The Cleveland Rolling Mil Company
are very anxious to start up their wire rod
department and the several trains otplate
rolls, which departments in the Pittsburgh
mills are nearly ail operated to their full
nnpACitY. a IL --.- /.
