Many inquiries have been made as to |
the merits Of the Garrow opera company. |
THE ARGUS has satisfactory frances
that it is one of the best opera companies |
on the rosd. Mr.. Garrow is an ex-
pe:ienced and popular New York mana
ger and he has secured the best talent on |
the operate stsge today. He should |
have a large audience tomorrow night. |

The Ere alarm from the Fifth ward at
:45 this morning was caused by an in |
significant blaze in the rear of the old |
store at the corner of Third avenue and |
Twenty third street. formerly occupied |
by W. B. Hill as flour and feed store. !
1t was quickly extinguished by the
Cables, and scarcely any damage was
done. There has been considerable spec
ulation on the streets today as to why the |
hook and ladder truck did not respond to |
the alarm. The reason for this is that the |
city has not yet provided the accommoda-
tons for the men to sleep at the new en-
CINE house. aud as soon as these are pro,
vided all alarms will be answered |
promptly.
