Low PRICES THE CAUSE.
The Opera House damned to See " Uncle Ton
Cabin" Last Evening.

The Opera House damned to See Uncle Toms
Cabin" Last Evening.
The administration, weather and everything
else may change as often as they please, but
nothing seems to effect the popularity of that
good old play Of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
especially when IL il given at low prices. A
company OF that kind, under the manage
ment of that popular old Snowman, S.
Draper, struck Lancaster yesterday, and
their reception at the opera house last night
was almost as warm as that of Grover Cleve-
land at Washington. Never in the history
Of Fulton opera house has larger crowd
been accommodated within its walls. At
eight o'clock the lobby OF the theatre was
standing full, and probably two hundred
people unable to gain admittance were
turned away. To give the public some idea
Of the jam Il is only necessary to give the
figures. The building has seating capacity
put in. There are seats for 305 ON the gallery,
but almost 200 saw Eliza hustle with
the blood-hounds from that high perch last
evening.
Tho company is about as good AS those
usually seen playing the piece, II not better,
and the show Is well worth the prices charged.
The best person in the troupe is Miss Kate
Partington, who comes from weii-known
family of "Unele Toners" She acts the
part OF Topsy well and her singing, dancing
and banjo playing We're pleasing. Sam
Bolter acted Uncle Tom very fairly, dying
In the good old way. There was some
"doubling' among the other members Of the
company, but they managed to get out all
right A feature of the show, Is the singing OF
plauded. The blood-hounds were very fierce,
looking, but did no damage. Tonight
Uncio Tom will be whipped 10 death for the
LVVO, O0Oth time Vt tho opera house.

rated and Dies.
Levi Waidley, a widely known and highly
respected citizen Of Strasburg, died suddenly
in Washington, d. c., at an early hour this
morning. Mr.. Waidley lost his wife about
six weeks ago and took tho loss greatly to
heart, Ms he was a most devoted husband.
His relatives thought his mind might In some
degree be diverted from his sorrow by
change of scene and after much persuasion
induced him to attend the inauguration Of
President Cleveland. Nothing further was
heard of him until this morning his son John,
a clerk i'm Givler X Cos store, received tele-
gram announcing that his father had died
suddenly of angina pectoris, an affection OF
the heart, as above stated.
Mr.. Waidley lived nearly all his life in
Strasburg, where for many years he carried
on the tailoring business, by which he ac-
quired comfortable competency. lie was
"a prominent member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and in all the walks of life bore
character above reproach. Mr.. Waidley
| leaves six children as follows: Mrs. John s..
| Rohrer, and John and William Waidley of
| this city and Mrs. George w. Hensel, ir.,
! Miss Clara and Charles Waidley Of Stras-
| burg. Norman Waidley, the well-known
| proprietor of the Strasburg line of stage, is a
| hali-brother of deceased, and the two went 10
| Washington together.
| A later dispatch says that Lewis death took
| place at the residence of his brother-in-law,
| Samuel Houston. The body will be brought

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. threat
ened war between Great Britain and
Russia bids fair to make a great dis.
turbance in the ocean passengers ser
vice between Liverpool and New
York. According to London dis
patch two of the swiftest and most
popular steamships, the America and
the Arizona, have already been called
into government employment. It is
reported that Russia has been trying
to charter two other famous steam
ships, the Oregon and Alaska, and to
prevent this disposition of them Brit
ish government has decided to engage
their services. All the great passen-
ger ships are so constructed as to be
easily convertible into men of war, in
anticipation of just such emergencies
as the present. Their size and speed
also qualify them for transport
service, In the event Of war Russia
would doubtless try to strike at Eng
lands commerce, and it might become
necessary for the latter power to with
draw some of its lines or put its ships
under q neutral flag. In that case
we might find our long sought oppor-
tunity to revive our carrying trade.
Herat, the present bone of conten.
tion between England and Russia, is
comparatively small for a place of
such paramount Importance, contain
ing barely $4,000 inhabitants. The
place has considerable trade with
Persia, India, Turkestan and western
China, the chief local products being
saffron, assafGtida, saddlery, caps,
cloaks, shoes, carpets, sables and
dressed sheepskins. The name Of the
town is said to be derived from the
Heri-"Rud," or river, which flows
along the southern base of the ridge
upon which Herat stands.

Whereas, call has been made for

Mr.. T.. A. Palmer, formerly a citi-
zen of Cleveland, Ohio, now resi-

there were plenty of farmers who
would take an interest in fair. He,
as stranger in this locality, would
