The Richmond grain elevator, which was
consumed by fire few weeks ago, was al
most indispensable to the business needs of
Richmond, and the demand for such an aid
in handling the large amount of grain ar
uying ia this city from the West makes IL
imperative that the structure should DO re-
placed. and there is little doubt of its being
rebuilt at an early day. / saw Mr.. +. ID.

THE Union SQUARE THEATRE.

The performance at the Union Square Theatre last
evening was chiefly significant because Of the intro
ductiOn in New-lork of a new and excellent company
Mr. PtOus little band of players has been in existence
since the beginning Of the present theatrical season
and at this time, though 1t has not yet undertaken any
work commensurate with its ability, It has developed
much OF that unity and pOise organization when
necessary to the right Interpretation OF any ORA
matte composition consistent whole. No mem
Der Of the company Is at the top of pyramid of which
the others form the sides has the best part In
the play because it is the best part and holds
the middle OF the stage except when it belongs to him.
AL this Is refreshing.
The piece presented last night a farce called
sTte Last Straw adapted from the French BY Fred
sick Horner. Almost equal horors won in it by
Nelson Wheatcroft, W. H. Thompson Miss Minnie Selig
man aud Miss Adelaide stanhope. Mr.. Wheacroft had
opportunities for the development OF reposeul humor
such he has seldom before shown and his quiet
consciousness of doing saying anything amusing
most effective and delightful Miss Seligman quite
as charming in exactly opposite way, hav-
Ing nerves OF the steel-spring sort and allow
Ing them to guide her, or misguide her, alto

vivacity unfaggng, but directed by unfaiiing
grace and skill Mr.. Thompson had conventional
part, that OF the supposed sober old man who is
secretly fond Of brawny and pretty faces but he
made it pleasantly dro especially In the last act. and
Miss StanhOpe played French maid brightly and

The play itself is much like the top Of a glass OF
champagne. bit OF bubbling and sparkling froth,
never deep. and growing thinner and lighter every
second But as the white foam is not unpleasant to
look upon, it has not been too often already, so
the farce is pleasant enough long theirs is not
