large crowd will be present.
Plans had been made yesterday for q

Police lnspectioy,, /,

The first Of the projected series of regu'
lar monthly inspections of the police
force by the Board of Police Commission.
ers was held yesterday morning on the
vacant lot north Of the City Hall. The
entire force, with the exception Of the
men comprising the morning watch and
few whose duties in the Office at the
Station compelled their attendance at
their posts. we're on hand, and presented
q very creditable appearance. This force
of seventy-seven men was commanded
by Captain Roberts, Chief Glass being
with the reviewing party, which, after
passing down the line and coming
back in its rear, took up q position in
front. Headed by the patrol wagon, the
force marched past the Commissioners,
the mounted men being in pairs and the
patrolmen in fours. Taking into consid.
Grafton the fact that some of the men
have only been drilled once or twice, the
performance of yesterday was very
creditable one, and there is every proba
bility that each inspection in future will
grow more interesting as the men gel
down to work in earnest.

ADJUSTMENTS.

''The CITY Directory" 1n6 Charlie
Need at the 0raAas
Last night q very large audience, in.
Guiding very many of the most intelli.
gent playgoers Of the city, assembled TO,
the First night" of The City Directory,
with Charlie Reed, the old time Coast
favorite, as the leading spirit. The play
is farce, broad as can be conceived, but
clean and funny. There is not in the
play the least approach to an offensive
suggestion, yet 1t is full of humor of the
laughter compelling sort. There are
twelve people in the company, and there
is not dummy" in the lot. Many of
them are notably good in the various
business assigned them. Half q dozen
OF them are pretty girls, who dance we'll,
and sing with more or less acceptability
Miss May Yohe is decidedly pretty
girl, sweet as semi-tropic orange bios
som. and piquant as the ripe fruit. She
sings we'll, and is full to her smiling lips
and mischievous eyes with a charming
diablerie that is irresistible.
Charlie Reed is the same as of yore,
full of fun of quiet sort, but most pene-
trating in its effects. The risibles
that Charlie fails to reach and
arouse must be dead and torpid.
The City Directory is full OF music.
Reed has a big supply of capital topical
songs, and the whole company give funny
or sentimental .ditties galore. The play
runs all the week.

Friends Disagree.

Shortly after noon yesterday Officer
Hawthorne arrested Peter Hack and
Albert Osthoff, two we'll known citizens,
for fighting on the corner Of Spring and
FIRST streets. Both men were taken to
the Police Station, and while awaiting
the arrival of friends with bail, Hack
renewed hostilities by hitting Ostheff
behind the ear with such force as to
knock him down. For this another
charge Of assault was, preferred against
Hack, and he was locked up in the
City Jail until further bail was secured
for him by his attorney, W. 7. Williams.
Tue trouble arose from demand made
by Osthof in the Olympic saloon for
80 so, which he alleged was due to him
from Hack. The latter refused
to pay and left the saloon,
closely followed by Osthoff. On reach

few words etruck him in the mouth,

where it has secured good run of bust

full-rigged yacht at sea. 1t b q real
novelty in it's way, and is pronounced by
those who have seen it a masterpiece Of
stage realism. Another novelty is the
blowing open Of an iron safe by ex.pro.

passed when an imitation OF the real ID
accepted by the public, and the mana.
gers OF The Stosca,oay seem to appreciate
the fact in it's full significance.

CHATTANOOGA, March 3l.-The
Tradesman says that the first Quaater
of 1850 shows continuance of the re-
markable industrial development of
the southern states. During the
quarter there have been q number of
strong corporations organized In the
south. resulting in the influx Of mil
lions OF northern capital. Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia seem to have
received the most attention at the
hands of northern capitalists, al
though much outside money was in
vested In Kentucky and Virginia. A
completion made by the Trades mar
from actual returns received by i
shows that COL industries were estab
ished In the south during the pas
three months against 825 established
during the same period of last year.

Diculafoy's Excavation. Mt su.a.

One Of the most important arch@o.
logical expeditions undertaken in
western Asia is that Of NJ. and Nine.
Diculafoy, who were sent by the
French department Of public instruc-
ton and of public works to Media and
Persia to explore the remains of the
ancient cities of those regions. Their
first expedition was undertaken in 1881
and 1882, and their work was com.
pleted in the years 1884, 1885, 1886.
The excavations, which were carried
out with great difficulty, OH account
of the fanaticism of the Inhabitants
have yielded valuable results from an
archaeological as we'll as from an his
torical standpoint. The palaces of
Artaxerxes and of Darius have been
excavated, and it is now possible to re-
construct the plans of these magnifi.
cent buildings. The objects collected
during these excavations have been
transported to Paris, and form one of
the most interesting departments of
the Louvre. The collections contain
polychromic bas-reliefs from the royal
palace, representing lion and warriors,
and potteries OF the First and Second
century OF our era. Besides architec,
tural remains, numerous inscribed
cylinders, ivory, bronze and clay OBJ
jects have been found. The palace, a
model of which is being made, was q
magnificent building rising on plat.
form sixty feet in height, protected by
wall, and accessible only on the south
side by large staircase Science.
