WORK OF TRAIN wRECKERs.


 Two More Attempts to Wreck Com sOlidated Trains - An Accommo da. tion Dashes Into a Pile of Cars. NoRwALK, Conn.,, March 12.-Two more attempts to wreck Consolidated road trains were made at East Norwalk last night, but neither were successful. An east bound accommodation, going at great speed, dashed into huge pile of ties which had been placed across the track, and threw them in every direction, but the engine and cars did not leave the rails. Portions of the locomotive, however, were broken or twisted. The second attempt was made an hour later. The Boston express, which passes through here at 9 o'clock, struck a similar pile of ties near the east end of the South Norwalk drawbridge, but the train proceeded on it's way to New York after some slight damages to the locomotive were repaired. Officers are searching for the criminals.

ed for the Present.
 The street commissioners had quiet and easy time last evening discussing the recommendation of the board of public works that no more orders be passed for McAdam top pdressing, excepting in special emergency; that for business streets and those where there is heavy traffic more durable pavement be substituted; and that certain previous unexecuted orders be re- scinded.
 The city engineer stated that it was not the idea of the board to discontinue entire ly the method of top-dressing, but their main idea was to have more durable pay ing for the business streets. At the pres- ent rate, in 8 few years an annual appro- priation of $4O,O 900 will be needed to keep the streets in repair. Many of them now are in bad condition.
 MT. Hill favored @ granite block one foot long, four inches wide and four inches deep as the best paving for the busiest streets, sheet asphalt for the next grade and broken stone for the outlying streets. Mayor Sargent was present and said this macadamizing top dressing wa was first first of public works a number of years ago, and became very popular. One req son is because it was done at the city's expense.
 The subject will be up before the next meeting of the committee for further con- sideration.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

'The Man About Town" was presented last night to a large audience. It is a bright, lively comedy adopted from the French original, and introduces number of the latest songs and dances. The com pany is uniformly good and the eccentric makeups exceedingly clever. There are many funny situations, especially the duel in act 3. Harry Dowley as "Lyon Lamb'' was quite acceptable as "The Man About Town," Tyrone Power created much merriment as "Captain Kill Gory," and the same may be said of Henry Lynn as Professor Cain Hungerblood. About the cleverest bit of work done was by Je- rome Mills, who showed remarkable versa tiity in character change act, two bari tone solos excellently sung and in two characters, stRev. Abel Rutherford'' and "Juggins.'' Xesia Carlstadt as "Mlle. Nocloz" gave an admirable impersonation of premier danseuse, and Belle Muni sang two solos, distinguished by clever ex- ecution. The only speciality was an attrac- tive skirt dancing trio by Florence Barry, Xesia Carlstadt and Carrie Nelson, who also sang tuneful trio written by Finley S. Hayes, formerly of this city. 'tThe Man About Town" remains through the week.
 Bryant and Richmond in ''Keep it Dark'' will be the attraction the first half of next week

 Alexander Salvini will open his engage ment this evening with "Don Caesar de Bazan" of which the Charlestown News and Courier says: His rendition of the famous romantic play, 'Don Caesar de Bazan," was perfect. More could not have been anticipated, and even the most sanguine expectations were surpassed by this impulsive and polished artist Don Caesar could hardly have had hand somer personator, for the younger Salvini is of noble bearing, with bright and in- telligent expression, besides having a rich and at the same time powerful voice.
