DAMAGE BY STORM.
How Wharves and Vessels Down the
River Suffered I'm the Blizzard.

Owing to the heavy storm on the lower Poto-
mac the steamer I. V. Arrowsmith, which was
due here Sunday, did not reach her wharf until
yesterday afternoon. The steamer left here DUR
ing the storm Saturday morning and went as far
as Dilrs wharf, which was reached late in the
afternoon. Sunday morning the boat started
for Leonardtown and reached there about 9
O'Clock. During Saturdays trip the high winds
and heavy snow fall greatly retarded the pro-
gress of the boat, as the snow was so dense that
the shores could not be seen from the steamer.
Sunday morning during the trip to Leonard
town the wind blew terrific gale. The water
was very rough. but the steamer was weather.
proof and passed through the gale without an
accident. When the storm abated for while
Sunday afternoon a run was made across to
Nomini where the boat remained until yester-
day morning when she started on her return
trip. The effects of the storm along the shores
could be seen from the boat The wharf at
Colonial Beach Jared badly. The flooring was
carried away, as were many of the small
pleasure boats kept about it. All the low
grounds between the wharf and the hotel were
flooded, and it is likely that some of the cot
tages were also damaged. Cedar Point also
suffered badly. The wharves at Bluff Point
Wicomico bay, Wilkenson's and Classic shore
were almost completely wrecked In Currio-
man bay two vessels loaded with railroad ties
had been blown ashore by the gale, and yester-
day they were high and dry.

ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBACGHs OPERA HoUsE.-Rhea's new play
''The Case Vidal" was presented for the first
time in this city at Albaugh's last night and
the liberal applause of an intelligent audience,
which included Mrs Harrison. Mr.. and Mrs
Russell Harrison and Secretary Proctor. proved
that 1t was satisfactory. Without giving the
details of the plot, it may be said that while
there is an air of improbability throughout the
whole story the situations are dramatic, and
all the characters are well drawn. The part of
WdT9hdrltd affords Rhea an opportunity to dis
play the remarkable versatility of her art. for
she Is called upon TO run nearly the entire
gamut of womanly passion, and at no point
does she fail to be thoroughly natural and eff
fectlve. from the poignant grief of widowhood

the play. Miss Ida Waterman as Sollei Couch
ant fairly divided the honors with the star. por-
traying an exceedingly difficult character with
great ingenuity and grace. Mr.. VIM. Harris as
Ldagtdde, MIR. Owen as Sdrdri and Mr. Francour
as ". POiret were all that could be desired in
their respective parts. and in fact. the entire
company gave intelligent and effective support
