question by the suggestion that the
Saenger Hall property might be secured
for that purpose Whoever has been
spoken 10 on the subject has expressed
himself In favor OF the same. II Is under
stood that the property could be bought
for about $4,000 and the purchase could
probably be closed up by the issuing OF
city bonds. II that property should be
secured very few changes would be neces-
sary. for the principal outlay OF money
would be required for new floor on the
ground floor to obtain a room adopted
for the storage Of the guns There is a
wide alley in the rear OF the building
leading into Eighth street. which would
give a convenient exit for the guns
The city could also later on buy the
property now occupied by the Powhatan
Club. and a building could be constructed
there for the accommodation OF the Rich
mond Light Infantry Blues. 1t will be
only a question of time when the city
will have TO procure new quarters for that
organization. The Snyder building, which
is at present used by the Blues will
probably be purchased by a large whole
sale house Of this city, and If that is
done the Blues will be Obliged to vacate.
Besides. the present door In the SNYDER
building Is rather weak. as can be noticed

s,arRlfnr opera. MADAME Favart' was
a.. attraction at the Mozart Academy
last evening. and the fashionable audlerce
present was but just tribute 10 lhe eN-
ceptional company making the presenta-
ton.
The opera. from the pen Of the composer
Of THE Grand Duchess" is a pretty bit
OF melody throughput, and at times pos
sesses tones that are worthy OF the at
tentiOn Of musicians. Then again, there
are airs that please popular fancy ana
there is a rhymthmiC beat about them
that never fails TO please The work-an
importation from the opera houses OF
France-has been somewhat modernized
for American audiences, and though some
Of its artistic merit has been destroyed.
yet it has been frightened up by bits OF
permissible comedy that make it better
and a more winning attraction.
Madame FaVart' is an actress, her
husband a comedian, and by assisting a
lieutenant Of police TO help herself and
husband out of an awkward dilemma she
becomes associated with people Of rank.
She assumes the role Of the young wife OF
the lieutenant TO again save her own
identity. and there are laughable compli-
cations that give the opera really more
plot than IS vouchsafed such productions
in these piping times Of progressiveness
AS the actress, Miss Templeton. appears
as street singer; a ladys maid; grand
dame; a Spanish girl and a pedder boy
and the several roles give her admira-
bic opportunity OF displaying her unques-
toned talent. She has rich. full voice
a vivacitX that is admirable. and she
gives the part a daintlness and, withal
a dash that is ever charming.
Richard +. Carroll as Charles Favart
the husband, was the irresistible comedian
as Of yore and with his topical song did
splendidly. John Brand. with a pleasing
tenor was admirable as the lieutenant,
and William Blaisdel did well the part
Of the old governor. Miss Annie Myers,
with her sweet voice and hoydenish vi
yacity, was delightful as the lieutenants
bride.
The stage settings were beautiful, par
ticularly the scene where Madame IA

the sea. The ChOruses were We'll rendered
by many well trained voices.

TRE ARMORY QUESTION.
II Continues TO be Matter Of Discussion
in Military Circles.

in Military Circles.
The Richmond Light Infantry Blues had
their regular drill last evening, which was
well attended. Captain Cutchins was in
command and put the boys through a
company and platoon drill. All move
ments were executed with great prompt
ness and precision, and the Blues proved
once more that they are determined TO
retain their reputation as 10 their high
drilling qualities
The company nearly always retains
the double rank formation, which makes
the different movements far more at
tractive to the eye than If they were
executed I'm single rank.
On next Tuesday the company will have
its monthly full-dress inspection, when
they. no doubt, viii appear TO great adj

inspectors with a concert during the in
ternissions.
The Howitzers had another drill at

drill, when all movements were exc
cuted with precision.
On Monday next the HowitZers Will
have their monthly full-dress inspection

powprRLY,s GRIP LOST

ON tho knights of Labor-0nIy Ono of His
Nominees for tho Executive Board Elect.
ed-A Deadlock on tho Others.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 24.-General
Master Workman Powderly backed
water in the session of the general as
sembly of the Knights Of Labor this
morning and endeavored to placate the
strong opposing forces by presenting a
new list of delegates from among whom
four would be chosen to the general
executive board.
The men he named to-day were: John
Dewlin, Detroit; A. W. Wright, Canada |;
Hugh Cavanaugh, Cincinnati; John
Costello, Pittsburgh; I. 3. Mcguire,
New York;J. P. Duncan, Indian Terri
tory;J. II. Robertson, Arkansas, and P.
II. Quinn, Rhode Island. With the ex-
ception of the first three, the names
were all new.
The entire time of tho session was
taken up in discussing the names and
warm speeches were made for and
against each candidate. Most OF the
men were favorable to Mr.. Powderly,
but several Of them suited the Hayes
faction.
4he afternoon session was more than
usually interesting. After Mr.. Powder
ly had been made to recognize the posi-
ton bis brother knights had been
brought to bear upon him, he neverthe-
less endeavored to have his list looked
upon with favor.
BaIlotting for the new general execu,
tive board commenced early in the
afternoon. V. B. Mcclure, OF New
York, was the only one OF the new NOM
inees who succeeded in getting enough
votes to elect him. Ballot after ballot
was taken for the remaining seven men
but no result was reached. The cleo
ton had to be declared suspended until
tomorrow morning. After adjourn-
ment there was q great gathering OF
claimants, and the name Of each nom
inee was presented in the most effective
manner. This was keptup even during
the dinner hour and at the reception at
Knights Of Labor headquarters"
1t is said by those on the inside that
if peace could be declared for n short
time between the hostile factions the
affairs OF the order might be better
looked after. A delegate said tonight:
"rhere is entirely too much personality
displayed by both Mr.. Powderly and
Mr.. Hayes in this assembly. and my
idea is that If they would discontinue
their personalities for time we could
do more and better business.
