The New Opera House Scenery.

Quite large number of people assembled
in the new Opera House on Monday evening
on invitation of Mr.. ]. N. Alphonse, the
artist who has painted and set all of the seem
ery, to witness an exhibition OF a few of the
settings possible to be arranged with the new
scenery. The drop curtain was painted 10
New York and iss reproduction of the cur
tain in one of the large theatres there. When
the curtain arrived it was in such bad condi-
ton that Sir. Alphonse had to work 1t over
and the result was new curtain almost
entire.
The scenes were exhibited in the followiog
order and settings By Mr.. Alphonse and six
assistants:
|. Street scenes, tormenta wings, grand
drapery, borders.
2 Plain chamber, half boxed. practical
door aud fireplace.
8. Kitchen.
4. Dining room, half boxed, se, door.
S. Library, gothic, set door. Fancy Par
lor, center door, full boxed.
6. Prison, center gate, practical window.
8. Snow scene, tull length drop, palace
arch, backing and borders. Dark landscape,
wood wings, borders.
9. Garden, set statuary, balustrade, set
trees.
10. Dark wood, wings anc setting, rock
pass set rocks, rustic bridge.
Horizon Scene, set water.
The exhibition was brought to close with
the Horizon Scene as the hour was beginning
to grow late There were other scenes 10 be
| exhibited, but the audience was thoroughly
satisfied that Sumter has an Opera House
complete in all it's appointments and second
to none in this State.
The Snow Scene was particularly elaborate
and many pronounced it the piece de resist
ance of the exhibition. The Prison Scene,
an original design of Mr.. Alphonse was real,
istic and perfect in its way. The dark and
gloomy effect produced by cutting OF the
lights made the scene appear to be very
dungeon The borders and setting to the
/ Palace Arch were not ordered oy Council,
but were painted and presented to the opera
House by Mr.. Alphonse.
MIR. Alpbonse has done his work IN style
| that should convince any who may heretofore
have bad any doubts that be is an artist in
| his line.
The lighting of the Opera House is as per-
feet as it is possible to be. There are over
800 iucandescent lights in the Opera House
proper and more than two miles of wire was
! required to connect them. The lights are
F; arranged 10 different circuits so that any
number may he shut off and any degree Of
darkness obtained. The stage may be thrown
into darkness and the pit brilliantly lighted
or both made light or shadowed as the scene
demands.
Mr. John Moran put in all the wires for the
lights and the superb result proves that he
and Mr. Mason understand how to manage
electricity and make it TO do what they wish.
The Opera House is finished and we all
may be proud of it, The frescoing aod paper
on the ceiling and walls set off the whole and
the effect of space and comfort is obtained.

Cured the whole party was drunk. The
discussion started over some trifliDg dis
agreement and soon ballots, tables. chairs
and all the paraphernalia of the booth
were flying in every direction. The whole
ne ighborhood was aroused and the utmost
alarm was felt. but finally. with the help
of some of the persons near by. order was
restored and the business of counting re-
sumed.
The delay caused py the fight was Sc
rious, and one or two of the combatants
were injured. During the whole of yes
terday and far into the night quarreling
ensued, and it will be late to-day before
the final results of tue vote of the Seventh
Precinct will be definitely known.

and all but demolished. Charles Burn

booth was afterwards repaired and the
count resumed. The result Will be known

posed the "push" ticket got only enough
votes to show that they were running,
while the candidates of the bosses re-
ceived all the others.
Chris Buckley and Maurice Schmitt rode
through that part of the city in buggy
and stopped at many of the booths.
Schmitt left the buggy and held whispered
conferences with the judges and clerks.
Then the counting went on and the Non
Partisan candidates continued to get the
worst Of it. There were no watchers to
interfere and the work of the united
Democrats and Republicans went forward
with beautiful harmony.
The results as shown by the figures pub
lished 10 another column indicate that the
A. P. A. polled a heavier vote than was
expected, though'in some instances where
their enemies had conferred upon a candi-
date the association was beaten. Nothing
saved Read from an overwhelming defeat
but this vote. In the Western Addition
the A. p. A. developed great strength, and
Read received the benefit of it.
McNab was undoubtedly elected by a
good majority. but the workers south of
Market street counted him out. At the
headquarters of SIebe and McNab on Mar
ket street complaints were frequently re-
ceived that the judges and clerks were
knitting these two candidates. Non-Par-
tisan watchers came in and ruefully stated
that if something we're not done both men
would be defeated. On one of these occa-
sions a NOn-PaSkisan was sent to the
Eleventh PrecinW of the Thirty-second
District TO protect the interests OF McNab
