AT THE THEATER.
Successful Opening of the Baldwin
Melville Engagement.

Successful Opening of the Baldwin
Melville Engagement.
The Baldwin-Melville Company opened
weeks engagement at the theater last
night under the most suspicious circum-
stances. The audience was large, and had
not the circns been in town it would have
tested the capacity of the house.
The Black Flag" was the bill pre-
sented, and in the hands of well bal
anced company, the performance was a
good one The stage setting was excel
lent, and the strong climaXes gave the
players opportunity to show their ability.
Miss Pearl Melville was capital in the
role or Ned, the Outcast. Miss Melville
dons the attire of ragged boy, and her
acting received the heartiest applause.
Harry GlyndOn, the wronged brother
was admirably played by Mr.. Murdoch
MIR. Green and Mr. Hester, in the COM
edy roles, kept the audience in a good
humor.
Misses Nellie and Mile Willard re-
ceived a good share of the applause, while
pretty Tilho Durham, the soubrette Of
the company, sang and danced herself
into favor at once. During the week at
all the performances Miss Durham will
sing. She is a fascinating little body and
looks, dances and sings well. Her acting
is clever ana with perfect figure and =
pretty face, she makes delightful addi-
ton to the company MIR. Bronson filled
the Old mans role very acceptably. In
fact, all of the characters were in good
hands.
The company has been strengthened
since its last appearance here, and com
pares most favOrably with other organi-
zations which play one night engage
ments at regular prices. The manage
ment is giving trst-class attractions at
popular prices, which has met with uni
yersal success wherever the company has
appeared. At every performance coupons
bearing a number are given to each per-
son, and on Thursday night prize of S25
will be given TO the one holding the
lucky number. Saturday night prize of
$50 will be given. Coupons given during
the week will be good at both drawings
4 Legal Wrong will be the attraction
at the Matinie this afternoon. The play
is Southern comedy drama and win be
interspersed with songs and dances by
Mr.. Green and Miss Tillie Durham.
The price of admission for the matinee
is % cents for any part of the theatre.
There will be no reserved seats, and in
order that the children may be given am
pie time the curtain will not be runE up
until 3 O'Clock. Tonight the farce com
edy, Not Guilty" will be given. Miss
Melville will be seen as Mrs. Nora
Glover, part in which she has gained an
enyla bic reputation.

HIBERNIANS IN A PICKLE.
The Stewards Hand in Their RGSigla-
lions, But They Are Not Accepted.

The Choice of Speakers Tor the An
nuaI Dinner Next Week the Cause
of the Trouble The Discussion of
Religion and Politics InvoIved-The
Stewards Action Sustained.
The publication of notice aud call for
a meeting Of the Hiberuian Society yes
terdav and the statement 10 the effect
that the board of stewards had resigned
and their designations had not been ac-
cepted by President Meldrim, naturally
stirred up some excitement among the
members of the society as to what had
given rise to the trouble, and the meeting
which was held at the Guards arsenal
last night was largely attended.
The president read the letters Of the
board of Stewards Messrs. Charles +.
Prendergast. w K. Leaken and NJ. A.
O'Byrne, stating that since the action of
the last meeting which questioned their
authority to act, according to their inter
probation of the rules, they were forced
to resign and allow some other appoint
msnts TO be made
The letters Of President Meldrim, re-
fusing TO accept the designations, were
read. as were also those of the stewards,
and in reply insisting upon the society
ruling on the question of their authority.
RIGHTS OF THE STEWARDS.
After considerable discussion as to
what was the cause Of the &C
ton of the stewards, it was
asCertaiued that there was cOnsti-
tutional question involved, the sOciety's
constitution declaring that the stewards
have full power as to inviting
guests and speakers for the annual din
ner, A number Of speakers prominent in
politics mad been invited for the dinner
next week. Some differences arose and
the question was brought up
as to the authority of the
Several motions were made, and after a
lively discussion the action of the stew
ards was sustained and their designations
were not accepted The stewards were
authorized TO make the coming dinner the
best in the history Of the society.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
1t is rumored that the question was as
to what speakers should respond to GER
tain toasts.
The Hlbernan Society hasnow attained
national reputation. and its speakers
are always men of prominence. Since
the great Hill campaign when Hon.
David b. Hill was invited to speak
before the society, the question
has become quite an important one
as to what persons shall be invited, and
on what subjects they shall speak. The
rules of the society, it is said, forbid re
ligious and political discussion, This, of
course, raised far-reaching question, as
no society of this size and influence Is
composed of men who are all of the same
mind

Interest in the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association Meeting.

Interest in the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association Meeting.
Receiver Conner is in New York to-day
in attendance on the meeting of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation, to be held at the Fifth Avenue
hotel at II o'clock.
The railroad interests of the south are
anxiously awaiting the results of this
meeting, for they will mean great deal
TO the future Of these properties for some
time to come The obe of the meeting
is to take steps and perfect the machin-
cry for the preservation of the associa-
ton in the section not hampered by the
rate war. That section as before stated
by the MORNING News, lies to the south
and east of a line drawn through Mont
gomery, Birmingham, Chattanooga. Jelli-
co and Cakdale. North and west of that
line is the section in which the rate war
is in progress.
The meeting is TO take little cognizance
of the rate war, unless perhaps the belli-
gerent lines get together and agree to
patch up their differences. In case they
do not, steps will merely be taken to pre-
serve the ass oclatiOn in the section and
among the roads to which the rate war
does not extend If the trouble continues
after this it will be between the Louis
VII and Nashville, which IS the only road
that has withdrawn from the association,
and the lines which are directly cOmpet-
ing with it. These roads while many of
them lie in the section north and west of
the line mentioned have been given the
right by the association of which they
are still members to protect themselves if
they so desire by meeting the cuts made
10y the Louisville and Nashville. The
propOrtionate rates, however. will be
charged by the roads south and east of
this line and the amount by which the
rate is reduced will come out of that pro-
portion of the freight belonging to the
road which makes the cut. The news of
the determination which the association
reaches will be awaited with interest
throughout this section of the south.
Agents and brokers have received a no.
LITIGATION from John A. Brooks, travelling
freight agent of the Louisville and Nash
vile, to the effect that rates from st.
Louis to interior points on classes c., d.
and F., of freight, including -four, grain,
hay, etc, had been reduced three cents
lower per hundred, which, with the re-
duction Of seven cents per hundred made
at first, makes ten cents per hundred.
There has been no change in the cut rate
to coast points, it being still five cents less
than the old rate established by the asso-
citation

some bits of flesh are not enough TO estab-
lish the identity of any man, and Of
course, until more of the body IS found,
an inquest is out of the question. Coroner
Dixon would like very much to unrayel
the pulling mystery of Harden's death.
but he cannot begin the task until he has
some grounds Of Identification to work on.
The head and upper parts Of the body
are what are wanted now. 1t is sup
posed. of course, that they have been dis
posed of in a manner very similar 10 that
in which The other portions Of the body
We're put ont Of the way; but, of course
under the circumstances IL is sort Of a
guess work business with those who are
trying 10 find it, as there is little ciew
10 The exact location Of the other parts
except the smell, and that fills the entire
neighborhood.
MAY WAIT DAY OR TWO.
The Investigation and search for the
rest OF Harden's body may not be taken
up again at once. 1t is the
intention OF the authorities to
give Mary Washington an opportunity to
recover from her temporary mental wan
deriug sufficiently TO recall what she and
her husband did with the other portions
of the body which have not yet been re-
covered
No wonder she is nearly crazy. The
effects of such q crime are enough TO wear
away the strongest mind, and hers, at
least, is not a strong one. 1t is thought,
however. that she will be able TO tell
more about it within a few days.
Detective HUMPHREYS went up to Ebene-
ger last night to arrest George Berrleu,
the uncle of the murdercss. Perhaps he
will be able TO throw~light on some feat
ures of the case He will be brought to
the city this morning.

THE CHI NEsE CENSUS.
Savannah's Celestia1s Registering
Without Any Delay.

Without Any Delay.
The Chinese registration made a good
start yesterday. The registration was
conducted at the internal revenue Office
in custom house by Deputy Collector
Cobb. 1t was conducted smoothly and
without the least hitch of any kind.
All OF the Chinese who registered ap-
Deared to be well informed of
the requirements of the law
and volunteered the required infor-
nation promptly. OF the fourteen
who registered, all could speak English
more or less plainly and all but one were
able to sign their name in English. This
is quite remarkable considering that some
OF those who registered have only been In
this country year or two and shows
that the children of the Flowery King
dom are not slow to equip themselves for
the battle of western civilization.
Only few had their photographs
ready. as required, but the others prom
ised to bring in theirs to-day Those who
registered yesterday were Charlie Lee.
