characteristics of the more strongly marked OF
their personages in his comedy TO degree that
their peculiarities might be recognized, enjoyed
laughed over and welcomed as familiar ac-
quaintances. To carry out the idea it viii read
lily be acknowledged was no easy task, and espe-
cially for Mr.. Hoyt, whose most pronounced sue
cesscs were on playground of extrayagant fun,
In which the most out-of-the-way comicalities
won the most enthusiastic applause. In "a
Texas Steer" there is the evident intention to
accomplish more serious results, reach further
in the delineation OF character and to satirize
fairly.
Mr.. Hoyt selected Texas and Washington City
for the scenes Of the action in which to cast his
comedy. With perfect frankness he declares
that his treatment OF the subject ne has taken in
hand is neither profound, exhaustive nor abso-
lutely truthful to life. but 90 far as 1t goes be
hopes that it will be amusing Ills hopes were
realized last evening; nay more, they exceeded
his expectations Mr.. Hoyt builded stronger
than he knew with "a Texas Steer" 1t is
comedy in prologue and three acts; the pro-
logue is in Texas, the remaining three acts arc
in Washington City. The story, briefly told, Il
this: Maverick Brander, Texas cattle king, is
elected to congress, and though he has no great
desire to go to Washington City, his constitu-
encs in their own peculiar style, insist upon him
serving his country at the capital. He accord
ingiy goes to Washington City, accompanied
by his wife, Mira. Brandcr, and his daughter,
Bossy, naturally bright girl. though somewhat
unsophisticated. They all get into the political
and social swim Of the capital. While Congress
man Brander's constituents have all the conf
dence in the world in him, they are not above
appointing COMMITTEES, composed of Messrs-
YELL Bragg and Blow, to keep their eyes on the
congressional representative at the seat of gov
eminent. These glorious products of Texas
form unique trio. As is perfectly natural,
Bossy Brander has q lover, Captain Farleigh,
young officer in the United States army, who
meets her in Washington. and who is somewhat
ashamed of her Texas ways when they are
brought into comparison with the manners Of
the fashionable set in Washington. Boesy rec
ognizes this quite as strongly as does her
solGier lover, but with an intelligent and bright
voman's adaptability she masters the situation
and wins consideration in the social swim. 1t
is scarcely necessary to add that the Texan
congressman comes out all right, and the loves
OF Bossy and Farleigh close happily. Before
this climax, however, is reached, we have ex-
periences with members OF the "Third House.,
as represented by Brassy Gall, type and a fairly
true one; with Christopher Columbus, IT,; Fish
back, a colored statesman; Othello Moore, pri-
vate waiter at the Arlington; Mrs. Brander.
the cattle kings wife, and other more or less
remarkable characters, whose peculiarities are
strongly marked and well represented.

LICENSES FOR WAGONS.
The Ordinance Proposed by Alderman

trucks, two horses, SO; four horses, $40; drays,
SO; lumber wagons, $50; hotel omnibuses, SIS;

by storckeepers should be also licensed, as they
do their share in wearing out the streets. There
is difference of opinion on that point, how
ever, and Alderman Korn solicits expressions
on the part of those interested.

Railroad Notes.

General Manager Platt of the grand cen tral station has rescinded the order direct ing the gatemen at the New York station not to allow anyone to pass unless on pre- sentation of 8 ticket. The result of the order was that aged ladies and children had to be left at the gate by their escorts to find their way as best they could to their train and secure seat for themselves wherever they could. This rule has now been 1econsidered and henceforth the gate men will be allowed to use their own judg- ment in permitting persons who desire to accompany friends to the trains to pass
 The selectmen of North Canaan have filed petition with the railroad commits sioners asking that gates, electric signals or hagman be established at the Main street crossing of the Central NewEngland road in that town. There will be hear ing on the petition Friday afternoon.
 The commissioners have approved the laying of spur track from the Meriden, Waterbury and Cromwell road in the town of Cromwell to Patrick Ford's brick yard.
 The plans of the New York, Providence and Boston road for double-track draw bridge at Mystic have also been approved
 The new subway of the New Haven and Hartford railroad that has been building for nearly three years was operated Mon day for the first time. It gives the roads four tracks from the Grand Central sta ton to a little distance beyond Woodlawn cemetery. The subway is constructed of uncut stone from Connecticut quarries Up to the present time passengers of the New Haven and the Harlem roads have been much inconvenieneed by the delays caused by the work of the subway. After to-day all trains of the two roads will be able to make much better time. It is the intention of the New Haven directors to extend the subway several miles further within a few months.

On the West Haven Road.

The new electric cars on the West Ha- ven horse railroad may be in readiness for use to-day or tomorrow. "We had made all arrangements to test the electrical car last week." said H. G. Thompson, of Thompson & Son, yesterday, "but before we started we jacked up the car and turned ,.on the current, and the Rheo Stadt gave out. The Rheo Stadt is the mechan- ism which regulates the flow of the cur rent. We did not make it, it is not our patent. We have sent to New York for another. As soon as it arrives we will be ready to put the car on trial. There is g radical difference between this car and the other electrical cars that have been tried. In all other cars tho motor was stopped whenever the car was stopped for 8 pas senger or for any other reason, and must be started over again each time. In our car, however, the motor is running all the time. The current is shut off from the wheels whenever we wish to stop the car."
 MT. Thompson last evening said the needed mechanism had not yet arrived, but that it would come some time to-day probably

Northern Pacific pre- ferred was down 4 per cent. at 6Ssz, but after 8 further loss of A per cent it rallied to 6914, and suddenly fell away from extreme activity to the most pronounced dullness. The real trading of the day, however was done in the last hour, when the desire to cover shorts became most urgent, started by a little buying for the long account by a prominent broker. Everything on the list which has been prominent during the last few days became suddenly active, while prices mounted rapidly all along the line, with the Northern Pacifics, Rock Island Burlin gton, St. Paul. Union Pacific, Louisville and Sugar leading In these stocks the improvement averaged about 116 per cent. for the hour, but St. Paul rose 2H, and others in proportion. The socalled special ties were comparatively neglected during the en- tire day, and the stocks mentioned monopolzed all the interest in the market throughout the day. and hence the effort to cover shorts at as low figures as possible.
 The market finally closed active and strong on the rally at the highest prices of the day.
 Railroad bonds were quiet, and in the main steady to firm, but the only real feature of the day was the weak cess in the Richmond and West Point trust f1ves, which declined steadily, drop. ping per cent.
