The Marine Band and "Ths Bottom ofths
Sen" at the Theatre.

me programme announced for the con-
certs OF the United states Marine Band
at the Richmond Theatre on March 22d
Is one OF unusual excellence. The pro-
gramme, besides embracing the most
popular numbers that were rendered at
the inaugural bali, includes the wonderful
new descriptive piece, THE Voyage OF
Columbus" This music Is declared by
many 10 be the finest piece Of descriptive
writing that has ever been heard in this
country. Another new number that Is ex-
pected TO evoke unusual approval Is The
Cruiser New York" This Is also by d.
rector Fanciulli, and is dedicated 10 the
United States cruiser. On this occasion
the good Old Southern melodies that are
dear TO so many hearts will find promi-
nent place on the bill.
Signor +. Fanciulli has had a career or
unusual brilliance in the musical world.
Soon after Joining the Gilmore Band,
number OF years ago, he was advanced
to a prominent position In that organiza-
ton, and he was selected from among
the numerous other applicants that
sought the much-coveted position he now
holds.
Miss Ruth Thompson, while not so well
knoU,n Is we are assured. one OF the
most promising young contraltos In the
musical world. She possesses, besides her
wonderful voice. a face or great beauty
and is a favorite everywhere she has
appeared.
There have been great number OF
notifications for seats. and those VINO
wish a choice had better secure seats at
once.
"The Bottom OF the Sea" marine
sncctacle. I'm which an Interesting drama
Is woven. will be seen at the Richmond
Theatre on Friday and Saturday next.
The play mainly depends on the reallsuc
scenery. among which IS scene showing
the bottom Of the sea. with divers at
work in the wreck OF a sunken ship.
The battle between one or the DIVERS
and a Gigantic devil-tsh is very realistic.
rho other scenes are the rescue In mid
ocean and tho deck Of a French man-oi-
war. The events centre about the laying
Of n West India cable by young hrehch
engineer. assisted by an American ehsl-
neer. Both love the former cousin, anu
mis- leads 10 trouble. A rascaliy creek
tries TO Kill the French engineer at the

The Big Fair.


CHICAGO, May Bright sunshine and
clear day made the big white Worlds
fair buildings attractive to look upon
this morning, and at the first opening
of the gates there was thin stream of
visitors passing through, which swelled
to steady current of humanity as the
forenoon wore on. The great statue of
The Republic gave strength and spler-
dor to the whole scene. Under foot a
quagmire of all unclenliness; above,
around and on every side, light colored-
prismatic hued flags, warmth and
beauty. In this condition it was not
strange that the rolling chairs and
electric launches were well pat
ronized. The mud problem will be
soon solved. All the roadways will
be asphalted within the week.
The crowds of visitors soon learned
that most of the buildings were in the
hands of the installation people and
most of their attention was devoted to
the wooded island, the battleship and
the Midway Plaisance, where every
thing is complete. In the latter ave-
nue., which has already been nick
named "Nigger Row" because of the
dark hue of most of its denizens, every
thing was in full blast from.early morn
ing. The Turks, after prayer in the
mosque, began the secular oc-
cupation Of money making; the
dancing girl pirouetted before gap
ing crowds the Irish colleens in Lady
Aberdeen's village put on their sweet
est smiles the Dahomeyans granted
their approval of the sunShiny weather;
the South Sea Islanders stalked forth
and exchanged the greetings of the day
with their next door neighbors from the
Island of Ceylon, and there was general
air of enjoyment not unmixed with
business peryading the whole thorough
fare.
At 10 o'clock in the morning an or
chestra of 60 pieces under the direction
of Adolph Leisganag gave an open air
concert in the stand in the west Sec
ton ofthe plaza. The display in the cleo
tricity building is yet in such shape
that it cannot be inspected with any
sense of justice To exhibitors. The
Pennsylvanians did not DEDICATE their
building to-day as was intended. That
event will take place probably in July.

Russian Railways.

The development of Russian railways
continues to make extraordinary pro-
gress. In addition to the military and
strategic railways converging on the
Austrian frontier, number of most I'M
portant lines are in progress in the in
terror
The surveys have just been concluded,
and the earthworks will be begun with
all speed of line from Penza through
Voronesh and Kharkoff,, to join the
railway to Sebastopol, also one from
Yeletz to the Sea of Azov, parallel with
the two roads already existing.
Two important lines almost finished
are those from Vladikavkas to PetrovsE,
on the Caspian, and between kursk
and Voronesh. The former is to be
opened for traffic next autumn. :.
According to the Russian budget, 1t
is proposed to spend during the present
year, in the construction of railways
and harbor and pier works, sum
amounting to nearly S40OOO,0Oo. a
large portion of this disbursement Will
be applied to the further extension OF
the Great Trans-Siberian line. -Four
millions are allotted to the building OF
iha railway and laying of the track,
while another million is for the pur-
chase of the necessary rolling stock.
The labor is provided chiefly by the
employment of convicts and the soldiers
of local garrisons, as we'll as OF Chinese,
who flock, after their manner, in large
numbers to the district.
OF considerable moment to the Rus,
sian Baltic ports, particularly Riga and
Reval, is railway project which has
been submitted to the minister of ways
and communications, in st. Petersburg,
and which, it is thought, in competent
quarters, has every prospect OF being
executed. 1t provides for the exten'
sion of the line from Bologoje to Pies
kau and from Ribinsk to Jarosslay. II
is also proposed to exploit the Pleskau,
Riga and Riga-Turkum State Railways
and the Baltic Railway, and to prolong
the Turkum railway to Windau. The
lengths of the various sections aggre
gate over !, 100 miles.
The Siberian Railway on which the
Russian government is now pushing
work with remarkable energy, will ado
considerably to the area Of the accessi,
hle vulnerable deposits of the world
and probably to the number ofits work
ing mines. Large deposits of iron ore
are known to exist on the located line
of the road among the foothills of thu
Jablonnovoi range The coal deposit!
of the Oussourri peninsula in eastern
Siberia are already worked to some ex
tent, and arrangements have beer
made to extend the workings as sooI
as the railway reaches them, while ex
plorations are now being made of thu
coal fields on the upper AMOR
through which the line will pass. Th'
silver mines of the Transbaikal, ant
the gold mines of the Ouda and thu
Shilka will be vigorously worked whel
they become more accessible. At TIL
present rate of progress it will be tel
years before the line is finished, but tn
sections that are to be completed il
half that time will serve most of thu
mining regions.

more, were married yesterday morning
in Washington by Rev. DIR. Thompson,

he has in consequence been lying in Jail

the Police Court on the day following
the arrest, and on the evidence Of the
