The Clipper Thenter's Business Not Enough
to Keep the House Open.

The Clipper Theater had deserted and woe-
begone appearance last night, as the doors
were closed on account of poor business. This
was the explanation given by Manager Peet.
George Sun, of the company booked there this
week, says he was getting all the money taken
in, and the orchestra was not getting any sal
aries and refused to play. For this reason the
show did not go on. MIR. Sun said:
II booked for this house because understood
it was new ground-foor theater but did not
know anything else about il. would rather
keep my people here idle than to finish the

hibited here last week, joins me. and also get

Remarkable Falling Off in Several Wards

City, but
A GAIN IN THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS
LIST OF VOTERS In THE COUNTY.
A GAIN In THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS.
Little Interest IL Politics Given as the Reason for the
Loss

For weeks past Mr.. W. Murray, of the
County Commissioners Office, has had his
righteous soul vexed by both registry asses
sors and reporters, the former getting in
their returns in dribbIing way and the
latter hustling to get the list, some OF them
wanting to approximate the figures, which
proposition reused Mr.. Murray's wrath.
Yesterday the last of the assessors came in
under the wire except those of two precincts.
They are those of the first dictricts of the
Twentv-frst ward of this city and of the
Twelfth ward of Allegheny. 1t is said legal
complications may result, and the voters may
be required to do more swearing than they
might otherwise do over an election day.
The registry shows considerable apathy on
the part of voters, or else a considerable
hegira from some districts in the city. 1t is
supposed there are considerable number Of
voters who are not caring much for their
votes this year. There are some features
worthy Of note
LOSSES AND GAINS.
Bellevue neither gains nor loses. The
list has declined in the Fourth, Fifth,
y lulny 1eQIQ ana Twelfth WaruS IlJLSOufR,
and the Eighth ward, Allegheny. while there
is a large gain in the Sixth of Pittsburg.
The list declines also in the Twenty-fourth,
Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth, Thirtieth,
Thirty-third and Thirty-fourIh wards of this
city. That in the Thirty-third ward is ex-
planned by the evictions of the iron workers.
There is a gain of one in the Twentieth
ward. Elizabeth and Millvale boroughs
fell of. In the townships, Alleppo,
Bethel, lincoln, Pine, Crescent, Shaler,
East Deer, Springdale, Sewickley, Scott
and Stowe declined in their voting assess
ments. Fawu and Wilkins each lost one.
Braddock borough gained four, and West
Deer township added % to its list.
1t will be seen, however, by an examina-
tion and comparison of tables and totals
that, notwithstanding the hegira to Will
merding, Jeanette and other places, and
the general political apathy this year, Pitts
burg is holding its own and gaining, as
also the boroughs and townships. Just |
why Allegheny City fremen should be SO
Indifferent may appear further along.

SHIPS OF WAR SALUTING.
Preparatory Maneuvers to the Ericsson
Naval Ceremonies.

The waters within sight Of the Battery al
New York were the scene OF many beautiful
maneuvers yesterday preparatory to the Erics-
son cerem onies today. The Baltimore. Pensa-
cola, Petrol, Kearsarge and the Dolphin
gathered in a line stretching down the bay
from point just below Ellis Island. The old
monitor Nantucket took the post of honor as
signed her. The Nantucket is patterned after
the original monitor and was built under
Ericsson's own supervision. For years her
SCARED and rusted hull has been lying ne
elected In Whitney basin, at the navy yard.
while the new and better monitors have been
built near her. week ago it was decided that
Ericsson's work should have a representa-
ton iii the pageant, and the Nantucket as
the only vessel of the original pattern, was
put in the hands of painters and renoyators
With the ebbiug tide the whole squadron
came down the North river to pass along the
line of war vessels aud anchor at the lower end
of the fleet The Chicago led. with the Atlanta
next and the Yorktown in the rear. The yes-
sells moved rapidly and excursion boats, ferry
boats and tugs got out of the way. just as the
Chicago was getting abreast of the Baltimore a
small cloud OF white smoke drifted suddenly
from portfolio in the side of the latter. A
heavy boom sounded on the waters and re-
echoed from the hills of Long Island Another
puff and another boom followed until nineteen
guns nau peen nreu luls was the salute OF
the Baltimore. as senior vessel of the feet, 10
Rear Admiral Walker. The Chicago waited
until the Baltimore got well under way with
her saluting before she began TO return il.
Then puffs Of smoke blew from her side and she
gave the captain Of the Baltimore the seven
guns due his rank. Then the white squadron
was saluted by the Pensacola and returned her
salute. The white squadron sailed On down
the bay until at signal from the Chicago there
was turn and all three swung into line, the
Chicago nearest the Pensacola and the York
town furthest down. Presently the Enterprise,
which had been down the BAY, sailed up and
anchored between the Chicago and the Pensa-
cola.
