and farce comedy. Tuxedo" opened a
weeks engagement at Albaugh's last night
The production is under the direction OF
the popular comedian. Hughey Dougherty,
and the reception given him last night
showed that he has firm hold on the good
Will of the amusement-loving public A
good many things are introduced which are
quite new. Arthur Rigby presented a num-
Der of drolleries, both musical and other
WISE with good effect, and Chas. Guyer is
not only first-class acrobat, but a good
grotesque comedian into the bargain Burt
Sheppard also contributed literally to the
fun, and the humor was agreeabiy inter-
spersed by a number of ballads charming
in themselves, and without exception well
sung. Miss Bonnie Goodwin acquitted her
self with credit as a serio-comic songstress
The musical performance by Alice Mon
tague and j. r. West was thoroughly en-
1oyable. Ed. Marble Is one Of the men who
can attach real interest to the interlocu-
tors performance. and altogether. there is
every reason to expect a successful season
for the show.
The New National.-Thos O. Seabrooke e s
jolly study in effervescence. uncorked for
the severalth time in this city. but show
Ing no signs of fairness, was heartily appre-
ciated at the New National Theater last

there are to be said of the light opera
comedian and his company.
Harris Bijou Theater.-The patrons o:
Harris Bijou Theater were given a strong
attraction last night In the melo-drama

supporting company made a good impress
sion.
Kernan's Iyceum Tbaatar-Opa of tbo
best burlesque shows travelling is that of
Sheridan & Flynn's City Sports, and the
performance given last night at Kernan's
Theater fully substantiates this assertion.

a snap that Is enjoyable, and in the bur-
lesques one and all go through their parts
with an enthusiastic dash that is conta-
gious. The performance opened with the
roaring farce. "A Hot Night" which was
followed by entertaining specialtes. good

The Girder Fell.

The workmen who are engaged upon the
construction of the addition TO the Calvary
Baptist Church on Sth street between G
and II attempted this morning TO haul up
an immense iron girder to the level of the
second story. the point which the work has
now reached. The derrick which was used
for the purpose was OF wood and entirely
Inadequate to the weight to which it was
subjected The natural result was that it
broke and the girder fell to the ground. 1t
was fortunate that no one was beneath IL
when il fell. for the girder was large enough
and heavy enough to have killed a score of
men. As IL was no one Was hurt, though
the accident caused some little excitement
In the neighborhOod, and the work of rails
ing the girder had to be postponed until the
derrick could be patched UP.

of the scene gave their description of the
accident. The stories all agreed in the main
features. and described the accident as 1t
was in The Star last evening, with the ex-
ception that there was no car standing on
the other track. According to their testi-
mony, MIR. Wharton came from the Howard
House corner. and started to cross the
tracks toward the National Hotel. He did
not look toward the tracks to see If a
train was coming from either direction, but
with head bowed he walked lesurely
across. The gripman applied his brake as
quickly as he saw that the man had at
tempted to cross in front of his car. ring
Ing his gong all the time. One witness said
that Mr.. wharton seemed to be in a sort
of dazed condition. He was only ten or
fifteen feet ahead of the grip car when he
started to cross the tracks, and there was
not room or time to stop the train. AS 1t
have taken one quick step he could have
avoided the accident.
Young Lindsey, the gripman, showed
signs or emotion when he took the stand.
After the accident he tainted and yester-
day ne appeared to be unnerved by what
had happened, but he told his story in a
clear and convincing manner 1t developed
that he had been In the employ Of the road
only about fortnight, and had had charge
or train for four days before the acct
dent He had been unoer instruction with
an experienced gripman for six days after
having spent several days at the power
house and tunnels learning all the details
of operation.
On Sunday afternoon, he said, he saw a
group of men standing at 9Th street, near
the tracks, and he rang his gong when
ABOUT thirty feet away. Just then he no
ticed an elderly man approach the group
but instead of joining them he continued
toward the track. Witness applied the
brakes instantly. but the man was only
about ten feet in front Of the train when
he stepped on to the track, and he was
walking slowly. He had almost crossed the
track when he was struck.
The jury brought In a verdict in accord
ance with the evidence, entirely exonerat-
ing the gripman, who, they said had used
all possible diligence and caution to avoid
accident One Juror. Mr.. Barker. insisted
on bringing in a supplementary verdict OF
his own, reprfmanding the company for
