Powers opera house was constructed
during the yeats 1873 and 1874. l.,
was formally opened to the public by
the actress, Blanche DeBarr, on July 4,
1874, and from that time has been what
ls popularity called the high price the
ater of the city. 1t was originally on
the second fioor of the building. 1t
Was considered comparatively gem
theater, and the public very patiently
walked up stairs to see the stellar at
fractions of the country. In 1888. n
year after Redmond's theater was
opened on Canal street, rs high
priced house. Mr.. Powers brought
the parquet down to the ground floor,
and used the rear or half circle of the
old parquet for the dress circle. This
improvement made the house more
convenient and accessible. Slight i'm
proverents have since been made in
the matter of decorations and scenery.
The house was managed by William
II. Powers, the oldest sun and business
partner of William r. Powers, for n
number of years. Fred G.. Berger, the
we'll known manager of Sol Smith Rus
sell, conducted the business for three
years beginning II 1887. At the
expiration OF his lease Charles H..
Gsrwood became lessee and manager.
He closed his second season IN the
house during the present week and hi
Iesse had another year to run. The
theater will be long remembered by
nearly two generations of theater- -goers
and its place in the annals OF local
theatrlcsis will be brilliant and impor-
;ant. for all the prominent players OF
America and Europe have fretted their
hour upon the stage of Powers opera
house.

ABOUT A PRIEST.
Excited Polacks Attempt to Evict Their
Pastor.

CLEVELAND, June ll.-Late this even
ing report was received of q bloody
riot IN the Polish settlement near here.
For years there has been q conflict IN
st. Stanislaus congregation. FIR. ko-
laszewiki was compelled TO submit TO .
removal, and now portion OF the con-
gregation 10 determined to oust his
successor, FIR. Rosinski. A committee
waited ON the latter tonight to request
him to step out, and in the meantime
q noisy and turbulent crowd gathered
in front of the residence. The pickets
were pulled from the fences and
knives were drawn and SION tho
entire crowd was desperately fighting.
The committee emerged from the
house announcing that FIR. Roslnski rs-
fused to resign and the mob with an IN
furiated howl charged upon the dwell
ing. Stones, bricks. clubs and knives
flew through the air thick and fast.
The police were summoned aud sue
ceeded in procuring quiet. The num-
Der of wounded is large, probably not
less than twenty, but as they were all
dragged away 10y friends it is impos-
sible to tell how many there were. The
house is now guarded by police and
more trouble is expected tomorrow.
