Theatre Comique.

The proprietors OF that handsome
little place OF amusement, the Theatre
Comique must have felt highly graft
fled with the success that attended the
first opening of the house last evening.
Long before the curtain rolled up
every available foot Of space was
crowded and standing room To the
front door was ut II premium, BY :
O'Clock admission could not Ito gained
for love nor motley, and scores OF men
We're turned away. Had the seating
capacity been twice as great the house
would not have been large enough To
have accommodated all who applied.
The programme as rendered gave en-
tire satisfaction, and the performers
in their several well sustained acts,
were repeatedly incored. The result Of
the first night insures the success Of
the venture, and with the Theatre
Comique kept up to the standard of
the initial performance, Spokane Falls
is entitled to the credit of posse ssing
one OF the very best variety shows on
the Pacific Coast.

The Webster tract lying little TO
the northwest oi the city and at an
elevation OF two hundred and ten feet
above theriver, which sweeps around
IL on the south and west, is truly u
paradise. 1t is here where one can
gathsr beautiful bouquets i'm the early
spring time, and truly can i say that
flowers have been gathered every
month in the year. The land slopes
gently towards he south and to the
river. How much one enjoys the long
summer days out at Webster as one

glance around him. The river two
hundred feet below on the south, here
flowing quiet and smooth with its
beautiful mirage of the fieecy clouds
in tho sky above then, the channel
narrowing, flows on with tiorceness
over low ragged and rocky channel
with such noisy splashing and dash
ing which seems To say We cannot he
quiet again until we flow far out on
the bosom of the mighty Pacific.
Just beyond and above the ever
changing and magnificent view OF the

the eye can reach, far away to the

green cree covered ioothils,and above,
towering here and there, the pure white
snow capped mountain peaks, and
from the southeast nearly to the south

Making Afnenos.

The sad accident by which Mrs
Ben Cockrell lost hrt life some weeks
ago is still fresh III the memory Of the
readers of the REVIEW. Shortly after
wards an article appeared in the Ore
gonian, which reflected upon the
character OF Mr.. Cockrcll and implied
that the insurance companies were
disposed to look upon the woman's
death with suspicion. The paper now
comes out with the following manly
apology for the injustice which they
did the gentleman
1t will be remembered that some
weeks or months ago Mrs. Cockrell, ,
wife of the well known detective, was
killed 10y the accidental discharge OF IL
pistol at Spokane Falls. Shortly after
her death it became known that her
life was insured for the benefit of
Cockrell in several companies, the ag
gregate OF the insurance being about
Yl2 800 III was noted widely at the
time Tvs strange that II young woman
OF good health and in moderate hnan-
cial circumstances should carry 80
heavy an insurance and that her death
should result from accident, shortly,
rs it did, after the policies were ncpo
tiated ; and these facts rise to surmises
and insinuations rejecting with more
or less severity upon her husband.
Jealousics and animosities growing out
OF his professional employment as Il
detective aided in the circulation of
this gossip, which at one time promis-
ed to grow into IL scandal OF the most
sensational type.
"Mrs. Cockrell's death occurred in
November or December and since that
time agents OF the insurance COM
panics have carefully investigated the
case. AS IL result they have decided
not to litigate il, but to pay the
amounts Of their respective policies
without protest, and in one or two
cases the moLey has already been paid
over TO MIR. Cockrell. Mr.. c. l.. Fay,
Of the Washington company, after
giving the case his personal attention,
paid the claim against his company
several days ago. He called at the
resonian Office yesterday at the re.
quest of Cockrell, to say that in his
Judgement Cockrell was abused by the
insinuations circulated concerning him.
All the circumstances of the woman's
death are attested by people OF respon
sibility, showing it To be what it is
claimed, purely accidental. This is
the opinion of Mr. Fay and of others,
and there seems to be no question
about it. Since the Oregonion re-
peated the stories current immediate
ly following Mrs. Cockrells death, it
cheerfully prints the later develop
, ments of the case. Concerning other
CRITICISMS alleged against Mr.
COckrell's professional employmeet
since his residence in Oregon, il may
be said hat he bears testimonials from
the chief of police OF this city and Of
Mi others who have employed him t.
testing the integrity OF his conduct"

Chicago for fuel purposes. The main pipe 10
eight inches in diameter, and will hold $1,000

thence north along the shore to South Chicago.
A traction engine FIRST laid IL along the surface
Of the ground and screwed the sections to-
eether. Then a ditchine- machine came along
and dug . trench three feet deep and one foot
wide. OF course whore tfsre were natural OBJ
struciiops, such rs rocks or stumps. the work
WAS done by hand. Into this trench the con-
nected pipe sections were rolled and then covered
up SO as to be protected from injury. In this
way the entire distance Of zoe miles was ira
versed. An interesting engineering problem
was how to insure the flow and delivery OF oil
through the pipe. The distance from Lima to
South Chicago is 206 miles. Lima is three hun
breed feet higher than South Chicago. and were

in the vicinity of Laketon. Ind, gravitasiou
might furnish the motive power. On the siphon
principle IL might even be lifted over this
elevation, but the velocity would be so greatly
retarded that the commercial value OF the
line would be destroyed Therefore, the
flow must be accelerated, and for that purpose
great pumping-works have been erected at Lima
which wiz force the product thence TO South
Chicago in from eight to nine days. Under this
impetus 8 1000 barrels can be delivered daily
after the aow once bsgina The oil will be used
for fuel purposes only, and is supposed TO go far
towards solving the cheap fuel question for
manufacturing purposes 1t lie claimed that for
boiler service three barrels of it are equal to one
