OPERA HoUsE.-Mr. Joseph ]. Sullivan
will appear here to night in his comedy
drama entitled The BLACK Thorn" Mr..
Sullivan appeared here last season In the
same pay and gave great satisfaction. The
Richu. nd State says: The Black Thorn
is one Of the best comedy dramas ever pre-
scented 10 Richmond, and Mr.. Sullivan is its
beat exponent. The company is an excel
lent one, and The Black Thorn is expected
to draw cro0ded honses all the week"
NJ Nis5, RAMA and Amos minstre!s Will
give Hn entertainment here tomorrow night.
The Toledo Bee says: THE performance
WAS conspicuous for the absence Of those
ancient kes which the modern minstie
lroupes seem licensed to iuhct on the pub
lc The delicious humor OF Benedict and
McNish, the dancing of the kryers, and the
lantomimic antics o. Rama and Aruo made
it delightful performance. The lsughable
comedy farce which concluded the pro-
gramme WAS as amusing as it Was clever"

Loses a Race.
do horses enjoy the racing as men
do?n some one inquiries. Well yes.
AS an instance OF this fact, it is easy
II see that Marry B., the beautiful
black. which always heads the rest
of Miss Nellie Burke's horses under
the wire in the race by themselves,
fully enjoys the lace and takes as
much pleasure in winning as any
man or woman, rider or owner could
ever do.
Marry is not the fastest horse in
the race, though always winning,
but if any horse in the crowd beats
him ia the race, woe to that horse
when he gets him in the lot, for with
teeth and heels he soon learns this
unlucky racer that that is not the
true courtesy of the race course. II
had him nearly kill me fine horse
on the track once said Miss Burke.
"He used to let all the other horses
pull out ahead of him until they got
to the last quarter pole, and then he
would pull i'm and win the race just
t. get the grand stand applause. One
day / put a new horse i'm the race
aud when the quarter pole was reach
ed the new horse did not fall back
and let him win the race, but went
I'm and took IL himself But you
should have seen Marry try and get
ahead. He was so mad when they
stopped that he nearly killed the
stranger before my attendants 90 aid

not dare let them get together

Pulled His Hair.

Lena went by Henry's house on
Centre street yesterday and seeing
him sitting on the gallery with his
back to her, quietly grabbed hand
full of his hair and gave his head a
good pull. When he turned around
she discovered that it was not Henry
but was a gentleman who was an en-
tire stranger 10 her. There was very
much embarrassed young lady on
that street then and very much sur
prised young man.

MR. FIELDS OFFER.

What kHe Proposed 10 no with Re.
spect 10 MIR. BnncrOft's Offer OF
Park Land.
In regard to the offer OF land for park
purposes made by willism P. Bancroft,
William M. Field states that his PROPOSE.
tion to the joint committee which waited
on him on Friday last was al follows:
He would deed roadway $50 feet
wide from Union street to the line OF the
Bancroft property. which would involve
the loss TO him of SO building lots.
The estimated damages include the
large parcel Of ground Of the Hartmann
q Fehrenbach Company, and the land
and two houses of Mr.. Smith on Wawaset
street, and the destruction of all Mr..
Fields property adjoining, by the open
ing of the roadway, which would leave
large number Of lots SO mutilated aa to be
unfit for building purposes.
This arrangement would insure the
best and most direct connection between
the Brandywine and Bancroft parks.
II, however, the commission thinks II
unsdvisable to secure the connection in
this way, at the expense Of about SIG, 900,
then, he asks, why not utilize Scott
street from its entrance into the Brandy
wine Park, thence to Lowering avenue,
end out Lowering avenue TO the wide
corneotinF avenue offered free by Mr..
Elal!, S3S.s 3treet aid Lowering avenue
being already curbed and graded, would
avoid all expense in opening the proposed
roadway and the purchase Of any land, at
the same time securing to the city the
munihcent offer Of Mr. Bancroft.

Reports Of IT'S Condition ThrOugh-
ont Ponnsy lvnnla and New Jersey
The Philadelphia Press of Monday
published reports from the principal IRON
manufacturing centres OF PonnsylVanih
aud Now Jersey, concerning the present
condition and future prospects OF the iron
trade.
Tie reports from Reading were that,
despite the recent failure OF The Heading
iron works, there was feeling OF uu.
usual hopsfulness among the manufac-
turers. The present depression is usually
attributed TO lack Of confidence, which,
however. is regarded rs eauseless and
will, in the manufacturer opinion, soon
pass away to be followed hy . repleniah-
ing Of the present depleted stocks. There
ia general faith In the present condi-
ton Of the country and no fear anywhere
of anything in the nature OF o panic or
long continued stAgnatiOn OF business.
From PittsburR came the report that
In the face OF present brisk demand for
iron and stoel there ia . possibility OF al
most complete suspension OF work IN
that locality. Low prices for products
were assigned as a reason.
Columbia manufacturers are hopeful.
In Lancaster the business IL dull, but
looking up. From Chester came the re-
port that "business was decidedly bad, !"
but that the depression would be only
temporary. Norris:own reported mills
closing down and general depression, at
tributing the result 10 oyesproduction
and southern competition. Shamokin,
Pa, reported plenty Of work and good
prospects. The New Jersey reports
showed a prevailing depression.

TWO DEATHS ON THE RAIL.
Roger Isayne and Michael MADDEN
Killed in the " eat Yard.

Roger Bayne and Michael Madden
Killed in the WeAt Yard.
There were two deaths on the p. w. &
b. railroad since Saturday night. On
thai night about 0 O'Clock, the horribly
mutilated remains OF Roger Bayne,
w. d B. traok-walker, who lived at No.
iii Chestnut strest, were found lying
on track in the west yard. That he
was run over there ia no doubt, but how
and when he was run over Is unknown,
as the body was only discovered by acct
dent aome time after the man must have
been killed and it was then ground
into such pulp that it had to be
gathered up with shovel. Bayne had
left hons about 6 O'Clock, and although
his work required him to be along the
main tracks he was found on the scale
track, which is at the end next to the
marsh. The body was found by the gang
OF shifting engine No. 81. Shifter No. IL
had been engaged in shifting cars that
evening on the track on which the body
was found, and it is probable that this
train killed him. Bayne was young
man not over IS years OF age, and leaves
a wife and two children.
The second railroad victim was Michael
Madden, track repairer, who boarded
on Monroe street, between Third and
Fourth streets, and who wac killed at the
foot of Beech street about z 05 O'Clock
Monday morning. Madden was on his way
to get his tools at the west yard with
which to 20 to work, and sought to savs
the time and tronble required to walk by
boarding south-bound extra freight train
No 20. He slipped and fell under the
moving train, however, saTela, oaTs pass,
ing ncross his chest, and literally outing
the body ia two. Madden 8as aaly
about ~ or % years old. The where
abouts of his people is unknown. The
body was removed to the morgue.

No Chance For a Delaware Wan, so
MIR. Higgins will Get Something
Else For Dau Layton.
1t was given out soon aftsr Mr.. Mig
gins election as United States senator
that he would reward his faithful friend
and worker, Daniel j. Layton OF George
town, by making him collector OF inter
nal revenue for the First Maryland dis
trict. The district comprises Delaware
Maryland and the District of Columbia.
There was no doubt that Mr.. Higgins in
tended to do something for Layton.
Their relations are of the most intimate
character and during the famous ssna-
torial fight Daniels faith never wavered,
even when every other Higgins man In
Doysr-the senator himself included
was In the doleful dumps over the gloomy
prospects of success. When they ride in
the cars together Daniels arm ia ALWAYS
thrown atfectionsiely over the new sena-
tors shoulder. They are the Damon and
Pythias of the Republican party in Della
ware.
But Senator higgins, it is said, has
learned during the past week that he can
not obtain this fine official plum for his
friend Layton or any other Delaware
man. 1t is regarded as Maryland APP.
pointment, and the Maryland Repubii-
cans do not propose to allow any Della.
ware man to get it. They claim that
Maryland pays over $3,000,000 per an.
mum through this Office, while Delaware
I'D the District of Columbia contribute
only Ssout S400, 600. Therefore, they
argue, Maryland should have the sp.
pointment, and it is now pretty generally
admitted that Maryland will get it.
Still there is q Delaware applicant for
the office, DR.. Ebenezer Dawson Of Kent
county, and on Saturday Senator Hig-
gins escorted him to the White House,
where they saw President Harrison.
While Senator Higgins cannot get this
Office for bis friend Layton, he Will see
to it that he is we'll provided for, and
before many months 90 By Daniel will be
in the enjoyment OF some fat and lovely
Federal berth.
