Land of The ki..night sun.

1.-The Land Of the Midnight Sim" Edwin
Barbour's spectacular melO-drama. was
given its initial performance i'm this city
last evening at the Academy OF Music
before a small audience.
The plot Of the play Is strong. II being
for the most part taken from such ster-
ling dramas AZ rhe Bondsman,' God
and Man" and Forget Ne Not" from
which dramas the aggressive dialogues.
which are likely TO raise the emotions OF
the audience and draw forth applause,
have been taken. and with a little Orei-
nality by Mr. Barbour. they are woven
into a play that is peculiar In construc-
ton.
The plot covers a period Of about seven
years. during which time the audience IS
taken from North Carolina 10 Iceland.
and they see the quiet carolinians mixed
with the turbulent government Of lee
land. and are given view into the sui
Jhur mines where an explosion occurs,
and from thence 10 the Isle OF Grlmsey,
where the curtain fans on the last act.
The scenic effects are realistic. especially
the explosion Of the mine and the last
act. The cast are with the exception OF
Edwin Barbour, as "JOllyweather' and
Elmer Grandin, las Jason. not thor
oughy capable Of the roles assigned 70
them Mr.. Grandin's letting was full or
force, and he gave a conception or II
that appeared 10 mystify his supporters.
Mr.. Barbour gave clever bit OF comedy
as the jolly sea captain.
The play will be repeated this afternoon
and evening.

SEVEN BUILDINGS BURNED.
A Destructive Fire at EDporia-Metho
Church and Railroad Depot Lost.

EMPORIA, VA, April o Special. A
very destructive fire occurred in Emporia
yesterday morning. at o'clock The fire
originated in small wooden cook kitchen
in the rear of the new and beautiful resi-
dence of Mr.. w. +. Deal. Owing TO the
late hour when the fire commenced, and
no fire department, the flames could
not be extinguished, and in consequence
seven buildings were burned down. The
wind was from the southwest. and very
high.
The following residences were burned:
J. G. Lifsey's. w. +. Deals, l.. II. john
sons. two belonging 10 Mrs. X. ii. King.
and occupied by Mrs. T.. Turner and 1.
J.. Newsome. the Methodist church.
which was near the last named house,
and the old Meherrin Valley railroad
depot, and a wheelwright and black
smith shop. With the aid of a fire en-
CINE and hose. the residences might have
been saved and also the Methodist church.
1t Is hoped that this loss may stir our
people up TO supply themselves with an
engine, hose. and hook and ladder com
pany.
Mr.. j. c. Lifsey was insured In the
Virginia State Insurance Company iot
$780, w. +. Deal was insured In the
