Sol smith Russell.

Although Sol Smith Russell has never
appeared in Los Angeles since he became
a famous comedian, there are not a
dozen playgoers in the city who do not
know all about his quaint individuality
and his inimitable powers as fun
maker. His engagement, which begins
at the Grand Opera House Thursday
evening, and closes Saturday evening,
will be the comedy event of the season.

several minutes A flag was iminedi ately
displayed over Federal Hall Us a sign that
the ceremony had been performed, and IN
simultaneously all the bells in the city rang
out triumphaDtly, while cannon doomed

Washington bowed low to the vast. cheer

Senate chamber, where he delivered n
short inaugural address remarkable for Its
modesty, dignity and wisdom.
After his address. President Washington

Livingston, Cabinet officers and other dig

of the chaplains of Congress The church

THE MISSING VESSEL.

News From the Danmark's PeopIe-They
We're Taken on the Sinking ship and
Safely Landed at the Azores by the
Steamer MIssouri-The DanmarI's En-
gines Broke Down and Her Engineer
Was Killed.
LIBsox April 22.-Forty-two of the
crew and all of the passengers Of the Dan
mark not taken to America by the Mis-
souri,, have arrived here. Mr.. Raben, the
first officer, who is among them, reports
that on April the Danmark's shaft was
broken. On the next dey the disabled
steamer met the steamship Missouri, from
London, March 2S for Philadelphia and
Baltimore. The Missouri towed the
Danmark until the 9th, when the lat
ter seemed to bs about to sink. At first
the Missouri was only able to take
aboard twenty Of the Danmark's passen-
gers, but after having jettisoned portion
OF her cargo found accommodation for the
crew and passengers of the Danmark. The
Missouri then proceeded to the Azores and
left there the first and second officers and
crew and 800 passengers. She then con-
tinued on her journey to Philadelphia with
$40 passengers and the remainder Of the
crew. The captain and three engineers Of
the Danmark left the Azores on the Nth
for London. The Danmark was eight hun
dred miles from Newfoundland when
the accident happened. Soms say that
the engines broke down. Engineer Kaas
was found dead in the engine-room after
the accident The captain and three en-
gineers proceeded to London on board
5 steamer from Demarara. The death Of
the Danmark's engineer was due to tho
bursting of an engine pipe. The engineer
was killed on the spot, and the ship was
badly damaged. In consequence OF this
damage, together with the breaking of ths
shaft, the vessel was helpless in the heavy
