AMUsEMENTs,

New National Theater.-The tunefulness
and the scholarship Of 'Lohengrin' COM
bine to make IT. one Of the operas upon
which manager relies for substantial re-
suits. II shows a more genial touch In its
treatment of themes than do the later
operas, which serve to present Wagner
as a unique musical and intellectual giant
1t Is none the less masterpiece for the
lack of the rigid adherence to the theoretic
principles which the great composer de-
veloped. 1t has the poetic majesty both
of thought and musical development that
lift the everyday mortal completely from
the sphere Of the practical into the COM
pletely ideal. The presentation of the
opera by the Tavary company was a highly
creditable one. Nine. Tayary carried the
role of Elsa in d capable manner. and the
singing of Payne Clark was admirable.
Miss Won Doenhoff showed artistic strength
not only unsteady, but dramatically in the
part of Ortrud. The remainder of the cast
presented many points of excellence worthy
of individual compliment. A performance
of "Lohengrin' is a pretty strong test of
almost any company that is not especially
organized, and the manner in which 1t
was given last night entities Manager Chas.
II. Pratt to congratulations. Tonight Gou-
mods Faust will be given, with Tavary,
Guile. Dorre and Mertens in the cast, and
tomorrow night. in compliance with many
requests, Il Pagliacci" and the 'Caval-
leria Rusticana" will be repeated instead Of
"Tanrhause-." as at first announced.

DECISION AFFIRMED.

Opinion OF the Court Of Appeals on
the Damages for Gen. WilcOx's Death
Among the opinions handed down yester-
day afternoon in the Court of Appeals was
that of Mary r. Wilcox, niece and admin
istratrix Of the late Gen. Cadmus Nj. Will
cox. against the District. The suit was
brought to revover $4,000 damages because
of the death Of Gen. Wilcox, which was
due to injuries received from falling into
an excavation, November 70, 1880, at the
corner Of 18th and G streets. The Ecking-
ton r. r. Co. had been granted q permit by
street and the railroad contracted with the
Crawford Paving Co. to do certain excavat-
ing and filling there. Gen. Wilcox, while
walking down 14th street about o'clock
in the evening" fell to the ground by STEP
ping or catching his foot in one Of the
cuts. He struck his head against the
ground with such force as to cause his
interstate, and as he had never been mar
ried Miss Wilcox sued for $4,000 damages
as next of kin.
There was a verdict in her favor for
$5.4l6 which was reduced by the trial Judge
to 5000. and accepted by the plaintiff.
The District appealed, though the Gran
ford company was really the defendant
I'm the case, the District having recourse
against that company for any loss. There
were numerous exceptions to the rulings
of the trial court, but the main contention
of the defendant seems to have been that
the statute allowing the next Of kin to sue
did not mean relatives so far removed as
the plaintiff. But the Court of Appeals
affirmed the judgment of the court below,
holding that no error had been committed
and that the plaintiff was fully entitled to
sue.

Issued for his arrest on complaint of Ge-

business adjoins the store where birds and
animals are kept for sale. The warrant
was issued under the police regulations
which protect citizens from annoyance by
animals and fowls, chiefly growing ROSTERS

charged that chipping. whistling and

'Where There's VIII There's .
Way"

To the Editor Of The Evening Str:
The pleas filed in the court Of public opin-
ion on behalf of our municipal authorities
in extenuation Of their responsibility for the
loss of life at the burning of the Stumph
building are:
1. The fire escape law is defective, in that
1t provides no adequate punishment for
those who disregard it.
2. The building Inspector has OF a suf-
ficfent force to adequately perform the work
imposed upon him.
/ am not of those who admit the sufficien-
cy of these pleas. / deny that because of
the defect in tie fire escape law or the in
adequate force in the inspectors office it
was impracticable to prevent the erection
Of building in defiance of the law.
1t was entirely competent for the inspect
or, without going out Of his Office, to have
placed an embargo upon the construction
by refusing a permit upon plans in which
no provision was made for fire escapes. He
had ample power If he had chosen to ex-
ercise it. 1t may be different in the case
of buildings erected before the passage of
the law QSSO. But as to all those thereaf-
ter erected he might have made good the
defect in the law by applying other laws.
Suppose he had refused a permit in such
case. Would the owner have invoked the
law to compel the issuance of permit for
construction which dsregarded the fire
escape law? Certainly not. Nor would ne
have attempted to so ahead without a per-
nit. If he had the police power of the
Commissioners would have been sufficient
to stop the work.
The moral is that there are more wea-
pons than single defective law available
to our authorities to protect the lives of
the people; or, where there's a will there's
a way" NJ.

ALLEGED BICYCLE THIEVES.
And They May Be-the Men Who Tan.
ped the Wires


Agent Fossett Of the United States Ex-
press Company at Harper's Ferry saw In
Washington paper few days ago a no.
tice of the alleged theft of two BICYCLES
The day before reading the notice he had
expressed two wheels from Harper's Ferry
to Parkersburg, and, thinking they were
the stolen wheels, he wrote letter to Mr..
Z. T.. Miller, the bicycle dealer here who
mad lost one of the wheels The other
wheel belonged to the GorInully G. Jeffrey
Company. This letter was turned over to
Detectives Boardman and Quinlan, and the
wheels and alleged thieves were captured
In ParSersburg. The officers went to Par
kersburg Wednesday and returned last
night with the alleged thieves and their
plumber.
Last Saturday a young man who proved
to be Fred. j. Owens went into Miller's
store on 14th street and said he wanted
to buy wheel. He was well dressed and
presented such a good appearance that Mr..
Miller allowed him to take out a bicycle to
Try. About the same time Walter Gedjis,
Jeffery's place. Under the same pretense
he got a wheel. The men failed to re-
turn and then the loss was reported to
the police.
ment clerk and Owens came here about
two years ago from Sedalia, Mo- They were

ale the men who attempted to tap the
Western Union wires on the Long bridge
more than week ago. At that time, as
Printed in The Star, Detectives Boardman
and Mattingly went in pursuit of the tap
pers and just missed them by about two
minutes. During the investigation the off,
GERS learned that the boat In which the men
were when the wire was tapped belonged
to Ritter. whose boat house is at the foot
Of 9TH street, and that one of the men
was Owens. 1t was two days after this
that the wheels we've obtained and the
men rode them es far as Harpars Ferry.
After shipping the wheels they went to
Parkersburg en- q freight train and were
surprised by officers when they called at
the express Office for the wheels. Now the
prisoners are locked up at the sixth police
station and the officers are endeavoring to
find a law under which they can be prose-
cGted for the alleged wire tapping.
They will be tried in the Police Court
tomorrow on charges Of grand larceny OF
the bicycles.
