MUSIC AND DRAMA.
HONEST HEARTS.

AON1cI aEAhIS.
Portland Theatre was packed like box of
sardinss last night by an enormous crowd
anxious to see John L. Sullivan. The well
known ex-pugilist received rousing well
come. The play is pathetic Irish drama,
replete with episodes of human interest,
thrilling situation approximating the melo-
dramatic, enlivened with a happy vein Of
bright comedy, which makes it very palata-
bic to all classes of theatre goers and lovers
OF the varied classifcati0ns of the drama
Mr.. Harrison assumes the leading role of.
John DAILY effectively. Sullivan's part, that
OF young Irish blacksmith, suits him to a
dot, and as the author wisely furnished him
with no lsng and tedious speeches there is
no tax made upon his declamatory abilities.
But he delivered the lines that belong to the
part with ease and naturalness. In the
scene at the forge and in the three round
bout with "Teg O'Brien" in the fifth act the
audience nearly went wild WITH delight. OF
course Sullivan was called again and again.
The play will be repeated tonight.
THE DAzzLER.
Friday. Saturday and Saturday matinee,
Miss Lydia Thompson will be seen with her

at Portland Theatre. A Lowell paper
says:
The play Is an unqualified success. 1t Is
farce comedy, with no other ex :use for
being than to make people laugh and give
the performers chance to appear at their
best In this particular line. 1t is replete
with musical selections, funny situations
and comic dialogue, and the absence of a
deep plot serves to keep thinking burrows
from the forehead and many laughing wrin-
kles at the corners of the mouth. Miss
Thompson plays the leading female part,
that OF an actress who shuns the public
gaze, and right well does she do 1t. She mas

an actress, singer and dancer. She i'm

STABBED rHREE TIMES.

Henry Gilmore Held by an Italian
while Another Stabs Him In the
Back-A Race War Threatened for

Street Cellar.
The air was thick with excitement last
evening in the vicinity of the Starin dock,
caused by stabbing ARRAY. For time
it looked as though there was to be race
war between the italian stevedores and
free born American citizens. Henry Gill
more, one of the Starin employees, noticed
two Italians in the freight room smoking
whose names are John Feraio and Alfonso
Demaio. He ordered them out, which
they obeyed sullenly and had some back
words. One of them returned, evidently
with the purpose of making trouble, and
in passing pushed against Gilmore and
spark to infiame the fierce italian passion.
While they were engaged the other Italian,
Feraio, came up behind and stabbed Gil
| more three times while Demaio held him,

arm and two others in the back.

NEW SEWERS RECOMMENDED

BY the Committee on Sewers-The
Bar in the Harbor to be Dug Out.
Four new sewers were recommended by
the common councils committee on sewers
last night. They are to be built in Lam
berton street between Congress avenue and
Cedar street, Lloyd street between Grand
avenue and Clay street, Linden street be-
tween Orange and Foster streets, Division
street between Winchester avenue and the
Northampton railroad. The petition for a
sewer in York square was tabled for an
opinion of the corporation counsel as to
whether the city could collect assessments
from property holders there, as the place
belongs to private owners although it has
been public highway for many years.
It was recommended that q catch basin
be constructed at East and Walnut streets:
The outlet of the East street sewer has
been becoming clogged up with sand and
and refuse for some time A bar has been
formed off the outlet by sand and other
refuse discharged by the sewer. A few
years ago the United States government
dredged this out but it refuses to again.
The harbor commissioners have asked the
w Wv oAAAo hoW. SdpUdln lOWuSu6uO
and Professor w. p Trowbridge appeared
in favor of this petition last night. They
urged the committe to recommend action
by the city on sanitary grounds as well as
for the good CT navigation.
Attorney Watrous, acting corporation
counsel in the absence Of Corporation
Counsel Townsend, stated that he could
see no way by which the state or national
government could be asked to do the dredg-
ing, He thought the city must do it if it
is done at all.
City Engineer Hill thought the bar could
be dug out for about $500 and the sand
placed upon the new park near by on
Water street. Alderman Lincoln, chair
man of the committee, thought the sewer
itself might be covered by some OF this
sand. Mayor Peck also favored dredging
the place.
The matter was finally referred to City
Engineer Hill to obtain estimates of the
probable cost. Mayor Peck was asked to
confer with the park commission as to the
depositing Of the sand on the Water street

A MARROW ESCAPE.

A WOrkman on the Campus Rarely
Escapes What Might Have Been a
Serious Fall.
One of Contractor Montgomery's men
had narrow escape yesterday from
serious injury while working on the
demolishing of the cabinet building on the
campus. He was up in the second story
engaged in prying up timbers with crow
bar when a board that he was standing on
gave way. The man was saved an ugly
fall into the cellar, some fifteen or twenty
feet below, by his quickness in grasping a
beam while falling. He hung in mid air
for moment, but finally clambered back
again to a position of safety. The whole
mass of the framework was none to
secure, and fell while afterwards with
some little assistance.
