FISHING RECORDS. As is well known
the mount ain streams throughout the Gas
cades and the Coast range abound with
the finest of all fishes, the trout. At var
ions times during the past some phenomenal
catches have been reported, which in nearly
all cases have been perfectly true. The first
of this week Zeph job and H. Pape, of
this city. returned from a fishing trip and
reported catching 2S2 trout This was good
but it remained for Leo Gearhart and John
Scott to beat it, which they did in good
shape. Tuesday morning they caught in
about four hours 300 trout, which they
brought home aud placed on exhibition.
This stands as the best record yet this
spring. Who will beat it?

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION

Ofthe nIetrop olitanOpera House-The
Flames Spread Rapidly, Though the
Structure Was Intended TO be Fire
Proof.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-One of the most
rapid fires probably ever seen in New
York took place Saturday morning, result
ing in the partial destruction of the Net
ropolitan opera house, on Broadway be-
tween Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets,
the rear or stage end of the building
being on Seventh auenue.
The loss will be covered by insurance.
A meeting of the stockholders will be held
as soon as possible, though there may be a
little delay as the majority of them are out
of town at present. Undoubtedly the
work of refitting the opera house will
be begun as soon as the water can be got
out of it. It will be necessary to practic-
ally refit the entire interior, as everything
that still remains there is 80 damaged that
it must be removed. The police estimate
the total loss caused by the fire at $780,
900.
The Metropolitan opera house was com
pleted in 1885, and was thrown open to the
public on October 81, under the manage
ment of Henry E. Abbey, the opera being
"Faust." The cast was a notable one, the
singers being Nillson, Scalchi, Lablache,
Campanni, Novarro and Del Puente.
]. Cleveland Csdy was the architect of
the building, and his efforts were directed
to secure a freproof house, as nearly as
possible. The opera house covered the
entire block bounded by Fortieth and
Thirty-ninth streets, and Broadway and
Seventh avenue. About one-quarter of
the area was occupied by the auditorium,
one quarter by the stage and the rest by
rooms of various character, the Broad way
and Fortieth street front being used for
bachelor apartments.
The architecture was generally Of the
Italian Renaissance order, and the color
tone of the house WAS yellow, the light
colored brick used being relieved by q
darker shade of terra-cotta. Here and
there on the front were figures in terra
GOTTA, and the appearance of the house was
Of massive solidity rather than great archi-.
tectural beauty. The main entrance was
through several wide doorways on Broad |
way, which opened into foyer of not ex-

size of the building. Besides these there |
were entrances on Thirty ninth and Forti- |

A GOOD CHARACTER.

Looking Up Bridget Sullivan,s Ca
reer-The Governments Case II
Strengthened by Her Testimony
I'm the Borden Murder Investfea-
tion-The Hearing TO be Resumed
To-day.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 2S.-The hear
ing in the Borden case will be resumed to-
morrow. The defense has been actively
engaged in Newport to-day learning some
thing regarding Bridget Sullivan's career
in that city. Detective Richards and At
torney Phillips looked up her record there,
but found nothing of importance except q
rumor hat abe has q very hot temper.
She worked in two places besides the Perry
house, as she stated on the stand yesterday.
The purpose of the inquiry is to determine
how reliable her evidence Is, also to learn
if she would become SO much provoked as
to quarrel seriously with Mr.. and Mrs.
Borden.
ABOVE RKPRoAcH.
1t isbelieved here that Miss Sullivan's
character is above reproach. A search in
to her career while in this city shows that
Miss Sullivan is very good and truthful
woman. Her past employers sIeak very
kindly of her and say she was always de-
voted church member. Her unshaken tes-
timony has done much to establish the
strength of the governments case. 1t Is
generally allowed that the government has
q strong case. Enough evidence has now
been introduced to warrant binding over
Miss Lizzie Borden until the next grand
jury. The hearing has by no means ended,
however, as Professor Wood is yet to DO
heard on the character of the blood spots
on the clothing and other articles taken
from the house.
Ex-Medical Examiner Dwelley has been
q close listener to the trial and it is under
stood that he will be called as an expert on
the part of the defence to rebuff much of
the evidence given. The defence claims
there are large holes in the governments
expert testimony and some unlocked for
denials are expected.
Miss Lizzie received her usual visitors
to day. She read some Bible passages
selected by Rev. Mr.. Buck. The day was
long to her because she had no sewing or
other womauly occupation to take up her
mind. The officers who now guard the
approaches to the matron's room are pre-
venting the unseemly disturbances to
which the prisoner was subjected. Msrshsl
