Heretofore, it has been impossible
to secure a general turnout of all
classes of people in this city, upon
any occasion, no matter how merit
orious. This was due to the we'll
known fact that in small towns as in
large ones, people are apt to form
cliques or coteries, and to attend en-
tertalnments not because of the pos
slble enjoyment to be derived from
such attendance, but because this or
that particular person or ''set" of per-
sons would be likely to attend. This
ieeilng, which, despite all, that the
lines or other enlightened and &C.
cepted channels for the expression of
public opinion, could do, has existed,
seems to have been utterly disre-
garded last night, at the masquerade
in Haley Theater, and the result was
one of the most thoroughly enjoyable
affairs which it has ever been the
good fortune of the TIMES to report.
Promptly at 9 o'clock maskers and
spectators began to file into the The
alter, until fully rs of the former and
3ooof the latter had congregated. AS
the maskers entered they presented
their invitation to Professor whitley,
who stood guard at the outer
door and passed the newcomers
to Philo Turner, the inside door.
keeper, who, hanked by TIMES
reporter, politely requested all who
came, one at time, to state YOU
"name and character, raise your mask
and pass H."
BY half past s o'clock the grand
march struck up, and over so mask
ers ranged themselves in line. 1t wa.
not until after 10 o'clock, however
that masks ceased coming, and per.
mitted the benumbed reporter to seel
warm corner to reinvigorate his
halffrozen blood. While on dut,
some 70.odd masks were "raised" anc
found to cover the faces of the per.

A singular accident happened to the
English steamship Durham on her vcy.
ngc from Rio Marine to Philadelphia,
where she arrived some days ago The
Durham was in mid ocean Latitude
1924, longitude 3s.o0--on March %.
The sen was calm and the steamer was
under full head Of steam. No object
was to be seen anywhere, when suddenly
n shock. like the striking of heavy
body, shook the vessel from stem to
stern, naturally producing profound
sensation among the crew. At first
Capt. Dobbins, the master Of the steam
er, supposed that the shaft was broken
and that serious damage had been done.
but II was fouri that his fears were
groundless. The sailors declare that the
object which, tho ship encountered WAS
a huge sea serpent, which some of them
saw distinctly after the collision about
100 feet from the vessels side, lashing
an enormous tail. One of the crew says
that the monster had head ~ large az
an elephants, and apparently several
long arms. 1t soon disappeared beneath
the water. When the steamer WINS
placed in the dry dock in Philadelphia
for repairs. it was found that the shoe
had been broken and the Keel fractured.
Great marks were found upon the bot
tom Of the vessel, which members of the
crew declare were made by the teeth OF
the sea monster.
