A MAGNIFICENT THEATER.

The New Duquesne About Ready to be
Opened-On1y Few Finishing Touches
Needed-C. L. Magee Compliments the
House and the Beauty of Its Design.
With satisfaction and qualification Mana
gers David Henderson and j. w. Norton,
of the new Duquesne Theater, surveyed the
interior Of the building last evening.
All the scafolding has been removed,
and a few seats remain to be put down
in the parquet, and touch or two to
be put on the decorations before the
house is completed. 1t Will be ready by to-
night, and delightful. cozy place it will
be. The seats are nicely upholstered with
cushioned backs, and they are broader than
the average chair in opera houses. The
scenery has been put in place, and every
thing is practically in readiness for the
opening night.
The balcony and galleries are completed.
The decorations and artistic work done on
the walls are said to be among the finest in
America. The blending of the colors is per-
feet, and the mountain scene on the drop
curtain is bewitching in the extreme. The
boxes are arranged so that the occupants
can see all of the stage. The ornamentation
The dressing rooms are on the stage and
under it. There are rooms, as Edward Jack
man said, for the fiddler and prima donnas.
"We don't want a kicker in the house." he
concluded.
~ think people will appreciate the thea
ter" said Manager Henderson last evening.
"If you will notice, there is not bad seat
in it, and the shape of the house is such that
everybody is in sight of the stage and can
catch even the lowest expressions.
"Will make speech Monday night?
Well, guess not. Those things always
look to me as if they were trumped M, and
1 wouldn't be drawn into such trap"
The house in front has been neatly painted,
and nothing now remains except to throw
it open to the people. G. L. Magee in
spected the theater yesterday. and was much
pleased with the artistic beauty and design
of the auditorium. He complimented Messrs
Henderson and Norton on their enterprise
and taste.

Francis Hospital.
Maggie Mccarthy, aged % years, a de-
mented inmate of the st. Francis Hospital,
jumped from second story window of that
institution and escaped on Thursday morn-
ing. Nothing has been heard from her

caused a severe illness, from which she be-
came slightly demented. She was placed
in the hospital and grew worse, but afterward
took a turn Tor the better, and three
weeks ago was considered sufficiently we'll
to be sent home. On Monday last she be-
came affected again and wandered from
home. On Wednesday she went to DR..
McClelland's house and asked him to pull

THE SECOND ACT ON.
Col. Dawson, ofthe Bijou, Comes Back
With q Charge of Conspiracy
AGAINST JOHN AND GEO. vARLEY.
Result of the Lithograph Fight Made by
the Grand Opera House.
SUIT NOT AIMED AT MANAGER WILT

The second act in the lithograph warfare
between the Grand Opera House and the
Bijou Theater occurred last evening.
George and Johu Varley are charged
with conspiracy, before Magistrate Nc
Kenna, by Colonel Sam Dawson, advertis-
ing agent of the latter house, and the boys
spent the night in the Central station, being
unable to secure the required bail. They
are sued as employees of H. B. Blair, the
doorkeeper and photographer of the Grand
Opera House.
Mr.. Dawson said the case was not against
Manager Wilt. The act will be played this
afternoon, at Mr., McKenna's office. when
some interesting developments are prom
ised.
STORY OF THE PROSECUTION.
Mr.. Dawson. of the Bijou, in explanation
said: ''These boys were discharged by me
some time ago, for certain irregularities
about lithograph tickets, and I understand
they are now working for the Grand Opera
House. Our paper has been destroyed, and
as an attempt has been made to put me
in hole, I am forced to retail
ate in kind. Among men prof.
cient in business, if one is
outdone, he acknowledges the corn, and
doesn't play the baby act, but watches his
| points. These suits should never have been
entered in the first place, but I propose to
push things. There is music ahead, my
boy, music, and be there to hear it."
When Manager Wilt was seen he said:
! 81 don't know anything about this case.
George Varley works for me as an usher in
&lar hn &c or rnln NV rf1n
| as photographer, neither is his brother.
| 1t is something, therefore, that does moi
concern me, but think these boys will have
a beautiful case against Mr.. Dawson before
they are through with him.
MR.. WILT THINKS IT A BLUFF.
SIT is nothing but bluff and suppose /.
intended as cross action, to come back al
me. Mr.. Blair, the doorkeeper, hires al
the lithographers. 1 have frequently in
structed my men not to tear down the papel
OF other theaters, or otherwise to break thu
law, and don't think they have done it
1 also have told them that if they did, ant
! got into trouble, they would have to suffe
the consequences themselves. Only las
Saturday evening. when I saw Georg'
| Varley going out with some small posters, .
warned him to be careful and not cover VI
other peoples paper. He said he didn't in
tend to, and was going to post them OF
boards that Mr.. Blair had secured from th
owners. don't propose to let up in th'
case have against them"
| Mr.. Blair said he couldn't understand
how Colonel Dawson could prove a charg
of conspiracy against the boys. He knew
Of no wrong they had committed
Tor certain reasons the boys were not bailed
he added, aud he thinks they will have q
strong case against Mr.. Dawson for falls

Thus doth the merry war continue, ant
the public is enlightened on bill boart
ethics.

DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS WRONG.

A Southside Boy just Learning that it's
Cruel to Wound Animals for Pastime-
He was Arrested for Shooting a Dog-A
Peculiar Case.
Humane Agent O'Brien ran acrossl a
peculiar case on the Southside yesterday.
He made an information before Alderman
McGarey, charging Wolfgang Grouse, an
1S-year-old boy of the Twenty-seventh ward,
with cruelty to animals. According to the
story told at the Alderman's Office, Grouse
has been victim of dime novel
reading. Grouse, in speaking to
Constable Linder, said that he and
number of his companions have
a reading room in the Twenty-seventh ward,
where they congregate TO spend their even
ings and discuss Jesse James shooting.
Grouse is charged with shooting dog with
out killing it and leaving it to die. The
allegation is that Grouse, with his COM
panions, went to an open field near the Bell
Tavern, on the outskirts of the city, on Sun
day last, to practice shooting with revolvers
that they had in their possession. While
practicing shooting a number of small boys
came along and had with them little dog.
This is said to have attracted Crouse's atten-
tion and he Immediately began shooting at
the dog without any effect. Grouse is
charged with going nearer the dog and firing,
putting hole clear through its body without
killing him. The boy vino owned the
animal picked it up and carried it to his
home on South Nineteenth street, where he
kept it for nearly two days, at which time
the matter was reported to Constable
Linder.
The officer reported the matter to the
Humane Society, and an information was
made against Grouse. Grouse, on hearing
that suit was entered against him for the
killing of the dog, gave up position at a
Southside glass factory and began making
preparations to leave the city. He was ar
rested, however, on st. Joseph street yester-
dav and taken to the Alderman's ofice,
where he entered $500 bail for a hearing.
Grouse, when asked why he shot the dog,
said that he didn't think he committed a
wrong,

COULDN'T FORM A TRUST.

Glucose MakerS Tried to Combine, but One
Man Refused to Join.
B. F. Rhodehamel, wealthy glucose
manufacturer of Peoria, stopped at the An
derson yesterday. An attempt was made
recently to form a combination of makers
with a capital stock of $40, 900 900, on which
10 per cent would be paid annually, but he
says because one man refused to JOIN, the
scheme collapsed.
Most of the money in the glucose busi-
ness is invested in Illinois, and there would
have been ten firms in the trust. The
makers now have a pool, but Mr.. Rhode
hamel says that if one member got up feel
ing badly in the morning he could kick a
hole into it, if he were so inclined. He
said further that the business had come to
such pass that unity of action was neees-
sary to make it profitable.

NO CHANGE TO BE MADE,

False Rumors Afoat About the Allegheny
Bessemer Plant.
Some unfouuded rumors have gained cir
culation in regard to the future intentions
of the new owners of the Allegheny Besse-

that heavy structural iron is to be made for
the Keystone Bridge Company. No
changes are contemplated at present and
the plant will continue to manufacture rails
as heretofore.
The improvements are about completed,
in the same manner that was contemplated
before the transfer of the works was made.
The plant will be put in operation on Tues
day next under the new management, and

Cochrane was concerned he was in favor of

Two New Firms Embarking in the Industry
en- Big Scale.
The American manufacturers seem de-

business anyway. An application has just
been made for charter by the Chicago Tin
Plate Company, OF Chicago, with capital
stock of $3.50, 900. Another tin plate scheme
is talked of for the little town of Elwood,
in the natural gas region of Indiana.
While some OF those who expressed their
intention to 20 into the industry before the
passage of the Mckinley bill, may have
been only biuffing in order to help the bill,
it might be possible they will regret some
day that they did not make their bluff good.
