Some sixty thousand shoal trout
spawn were shipped from this city
last Friday, by express, to the
Worlds Fair, where they will be
Matched in the government hatch
cry at that place. The spawn were
gathered at Middle Island for the
q. s. fish officials, and were brought
to this city and then packed in trays
by Superintendent Tulian. More
care was taken in shipping the
spawn than is the rule when ship
nient is merely made to the govern
ment hatchery at Worthwhile. A
quantity of moss was gathered from
the forest trees, and carefully picked
by hand so as to remove every hard
substance, and the moss being
dampened, was placed over the
spawn on the trays. Its use was
to keep the spawn from getting dry,
and thus perserve their vitality.
The shoal trout visit the waters
about Middle Island and Thunder
Bay Island the latter part OF Sep
TENDER and the early part Of Octo-
Der, to deposit their spawn. They
are q most delicious fish, and in the
years past we have seen them SWIM
ming about the shores Of Middle
Island in countless numbers.

than that at the Opera House on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
of last week, as rendered by Alpena
talent. At that time the comic
opera, "Dr. Of Alcantara," was pre-
sented with an admirable cast and
a large capable chorus. The opera
is one full of bright and sparkling
music, sweet soloes, and contains
many very amusing scenes. Every
part was we'll rendered, and there
was a smoothness about the play
not often seen in home entertain
ments, which showed that each of
the ladies and gentlemen who had
parts had made q careful study of
their respective portions, and rem
dered them like veterans of the
stage. Many of the soloes were so
pleasant that recalls were not only
numerous but sincere. There is a
very pretty love plot in the opera
that was we'll taken by Miss Marion
Gavagan as Isabella" Clinton
Elder as Carlos" and Miss Lillian
Beebe as Donna Lucrezia." Miss
Della Kelly as "Inez," and Arthur
Potter as doctor Paracelsus," sup
piled the amusing part of the opera
in a manner that would be difficult
to excel, and they deserve much
commentator for their artistic
operate work and the pleasure
they gave the audience. The re-
naming leading characters were
also finely represented by c. J.
Crissman as don Pomposo," j. L.
Currier as "Senor Balthazar," and
J. c. Comfort and Walter Spratt as
Perez and Sancho." The costumes
were very attractive, and the work
of the large chorus was excellent.
The chorus consisted of the follow
ing persons: Mrs. G.. Burston,
Viola Dunlop, Ethel Dunlop, Maud
Mcleod, Kate Mcleod, Flora Nc
Lean, Christine Mclean, Emma
Potter, Anna b. Prince, Kittie Rob-
inson, Mamie Rice, Mrs. E. A..
Tullian, Nellie Blaney, Henricora
Small, Elizabeth Potvin, Agnes Cav
agan Winnefred Morse, Fred Hix-
son, David Lalonde, H. q. Geiger,
Fred Pennell, David August, Carl
Golling, M. F. Grey, and William
Warner
The instrumental music was
rendered by Mrs. c. Elder, and was
notable for its excellence. The
entertainment was given for the
benefit of the Y. M. G. A., and
while the association made a little
money, the superior excellence of
the opera we'll deserved far better
attendance. In fact the fine man
ner in which the opera was render
ed entitled the ones who took part
to be complimented with a crowded
house, and the only reason we know
of that the attendance was not
many times greater than it was, is
owing to the financial depression
which makes people in general dis
like to spend for amusement money
that they believe will be needed for
supplying the comforts and neces-
saries of life. Those who took part
have the pleasing knowledge that
they achieved grand success in the
manner they rendered the opera,
for it ranks with the best given in
the city.

Alpine Block Fire.

About eleven o'clock last We'd
nesday night fire was discovered IN
a closet adjoining the room occupied
by Justice Otto Gjoroud, in the AL
pine block, on Second street. At
that time the fire did not appear ex-
tensive, but the dense smoke COM
PEELED those who discovered the
blaze to leave the room. The fire
department was summoned and did
most excellent work in putting out
the flames. Shortly after the fire
was discovered an explosion occur
ed, no doubt being caused by the
gases made by the fire in the closet.
The flames spread in remarkable
manner between the partitions of
the upper story, and under the sec
ond floor and between the roof and
the ceilings Of the upper rooms,
making it exceedingly difficult for
the firemen to get at, especially as
the upperrooms were filled;with dense
clouds of smoke, but by hard and
good work the firemen succeeded in
subduing the flames, not however,
until after several hours of hard,
difficult and dangerous labor.
The Alpine block was once the
Opera House of this city, and is a
two story wooden building con-
tanning three stores. The corner
store was occupied by D. D. Han
over as a harness shop, but the
greater part Of his goods were re-
moved while the fire was raging.
G.. A. Shannon had one store and q
large part of the upper story filled
with valuable furniture. The third
store was being repaired. In the
upper story were the law Office Of
Prosecuting Attorney L. G. Da-
foe, the Office of Justice Otto
Gjoroud, the dental rooms Of DR.. v.
F. Godfrey, and the room of Re-
corder w. A. Mcdonald. The up
per story is nearly a complete wreck.
Although but little of the goods,
furniture and law books in the sec
ond story were burned, they were
all damaged to a more or less ex-
tent by the water. None of Mr..
Shannon's furniture was removed,
and the damage was altogether
from the water.
The loss on goods in the building
cannot be fully ascertained until
the insurance men have adjusted
the losses, but will probably amount
to at least $4,000. The building is
owned by Reynolds & Holmes, and
Reinsurance may cover the damage.
d. D. Hanover is fully protected by
his insurance. g. A. Shannon has
an insurance of $500, and L. G..
Dafoe's insurance amounts to ST.
600. DR.. Godfrey and Justice
Gjoroud have no insurance, aud their
loss is about $500 each. Recorder
McDonald's loss is slight and is
covered with insurance.

Three other firms, from outside
the city, presented claims against
the firm of C. A. McGregor & Co.,
in addition to the list we printed
last week, which were placed with
the sheriff. He was refused ad-
mission to the store by the assig-
nee, and entered by breaking a
window, and then levying on the
stock. A suit for damages was
Immediately commenced against
him. After this event two other

suit. The total amount of the in

about $4,000. An inventory is be-

The I. 0. o. F. 22d Anniversary

Up to % years ago there was
no |. o. 0. F. lodge in Alpena, but
during the summer 1871, the men,
bers of the /. O. o. F., then in the
city, and but few in number, deter
mined the time had come to organ
lied lodge of the great order, and
the result of their work was the or
ganization of the Alpena lodge, l.
0. o. F., October Sd, 1871. The
new lodge commenced with but six
charter members. as follows: Ira
Stout, Jacob VanDusen, J. c. Wall,
Abram Anspach, T. L. Belknap, and
E. M. Belknap, Of whom only T. L.
Belknap and J. C. Wall now reside
in Alpena.
The new lodge met a hearty APP
proval from the people, and it rap
idly increased in membership and
became one of the strongest social
organizations in the city. Thus
when the 22d anniversary came
round, the members decided to cele-
brate the advent in a manner that
would give pleasure and profit to
those connected with it, but the
very stormy weather on the even
ing of the Sd caused a postponement
to be made to Friday evening. At
the meeting, which was open to the
lady friends Of the members, re-
marks were made by Rev. H. H. Van
Auken, Andrew Harshaw and j. G..
Wall. Mr.. Harshaw spoke about
the order in general and its great
work; Rev. Van Auken referred
more especially to the l. o. 0. F.
ladies and their great influence, and
Mr.. Wall gave the local history Of
the order in Alpena. In connec-
ton with the report of the ami
versary meeting, a few words, in
regard to the local history of the
Alpena /. 0. 0. F., may not be out
Of place.
Alpena lodge, ITO, was organized
October Sd, 1871, and held it's meet
ings in the A. p. A. hall Chisholm
street, between Third and Fourth
streets. The members then moved
to the Whitney block, corner Of
Second and Chisholm streets, but
their lodge room was destroyed by
fire at the big conAagration Of 1872.
The third place of meeting was in
the Daniel Carter building, corner
of Chisholm and First streets, which
was only about 1920 feet in size,
and when the present Whitney
brick block was erected the men,
bers returned to that building and
occupied the third story until the
completion Of the Centennial block
in 1875, at corner Of Washington
avenue and First street, where they
removed and have remained until
to-day, having large, we'll arranged
and beautiful rooms, occupying the
entire third story.
October oath, 1870, Thunder Bay
encampment was organized, and
April 20th, 1885, the Rebekah lodge
for the ladies was instituted. On
August 10th, 1889, there was organ
lied a uniform order of the society,
known as Canton Alpsna, Pat
riarchs Militant. In July Of the
present year, it was believed that
the time had come when it was
necessary to form a new lodge, and
the result was that Myrtle lodge,
423, was organized.
