A Big Failure.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3.-The Solicitors Loan and Trust company at 142 South Fourth street assigned today. The as- signees are Thomas Dewitt Cuyler and EfHngham B. Morris.
 The failure of the company resulted from unsuccessful and unauthorized speculations on the part of J. Rush Rit- ter, real estate officer of the company and a member of the board of directors.
 MT Ritter speculated heavily in a number of securities, chiefly in the stock of the Citizens Passenger railway of In- dianapolis, and had also been concerned in number of real estate deals in New Jersey and elsewhere.
 He became deeply involved and to meet certain obligations drew four drafts on a MT. Cook of New York, to which were at tached bills of purchase for certain se- curities. The drafts aggregated $209, 900 and bore the signature of MT. Ritter and the name (by rubber stamp of the So- hcitors' Loan and Trust company. The drafts were taken by MT Ritter to the Tradesmcn's National bank office, and City Cashier J. s. Mckee instead of en- terng them for collection paid Mir. Rit- ter the s209 900 in cash. The drafts were returned from New York dishonored. President Clay of the Solicitors company consented to furnish the Tradesmen's s bank with an indemnifying bond for Sl5O O00 without waiting for the authority of his directors. The directors were ig- norant of the creation of these obliga- tions, it is said. until Sunday last, nearly two weeks after the event had occurred. A hurried meeting of the board was held and the action of the president and the bond given by him were Jointly rcpudia- ted. The Tradesmen's bank threatened to bring suit for the $150,o00 and the as signment of the Solicitors company was then decided upon by the directors.
 Through worriment over the affair MT. Ritter has become critically i'll and he is now lying at the point of death. Cashier Mckee of the Tradesmen's bank has re- fired from the service of the institution

DeWolf Hopper.

DeWof Hopper and his excellent com pany, which is undoubtedly the largest, best and most complete he has yet had, will present that funniest of all comic op- eras, entitled "Dr. Syntax,' in this city for the first time on next Wednesday evening at OBrien's opera house. This pretty tuneful opera enjoyed a brilliant run of eleven weeks at the Broadway theater, New York city, last season, and 1t not only crowded that spacious theater at every performance. but severely taxed the capacity of the most prominent the aters in the eastern and western cities
 and wherever presented last season the dainty melange of mirth and melody en- tertained and delighted large and enthu- siastc audiences. MT. Hoppers sup porting company includes that clever soubrette, Edna Wallace-Hopper, the

NO EPIDEMIC OF SCARLET FEVER
Reports to That Effect Damaging Anniston.

 Barbour Machine Works Improved.
 Anniston, Jan. 3.-(Special.) .)-There is a
 report in circulation in various places
 away from Anniston that there is an
 epidemic of scarlet fever here, and it is
 not only absolutely false, but very detri-
 mental to this city. There has been only
 one case of scarlet fever here in thirty
 days, and the patient has entirely recov-
 cred. Anniston had a few cases of scar
 let fever early in the winter, but even
 then it was merely sparodic and not epi- demic. The admirable precautions that
 have governed ever since the disease made It's appearance are still observed
 and will continue in force for some time although the last patient has fully re- covered. No alarm is felt here and peo-
 pie at distance who contemplate com
 ing themselves or sending their children
 here should feel no hesitancy in so doing Yesterday afternoon a Jenifer a small cOlored girl, years old, was burned to death. She was playing with the fire
 and no one else was at home at the time Some important changes have been
 made in the Southern railway yards here. B. s. Stipp, formerly of Selma,
 has been made general yard master; B.
 l.. Stewart, formerly of this city, but
 more recently of Montgomery, takes the
 day foremanship and J. P. Gaffney is ap-
 pointed night foreman.
 Obiteu oldteS Depuly COlleclOF JOn1 k. Caldwell, who was somewhat battered
 up Tuesday evening in a fracas with Deputy Marshal John w. Barker is still confined to his bed from the n-
 juries, but they are not necessarily dan gerous. Darker is under bond for his
 appearance when wanted by the city. Wiley Hudson, colored, charged with | assa ulting Albert Truitt, well-known
 negro driver for the Southern Express company, with the intention of killing him. has waived preliminary trial and
 will await grand jury action. Hudson's bond has been reduced from $2000 to
 $400. This he has succeeded in making
 and is at liberty. Truitt, who it was
 thought would die is able to be out and will soon be wels again.
 Machinery for the manufacture of wheel felloes, spokes axe and pick han | dies, etc., is being placed in position by | the Barbour Machine Works and will be | put in operation in a very few days.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Jule Walters farce comedy, Side Tracked" was presented to a top-heavy house at O'Brien's last night. The play is one that delights the gallery gods and perfect storms of applause from the vii cinity of the roof greeted the players.
 There Is a plot to the play. but it is merely incidental to the special features and contains no unusual merit. A Vil- lain murders an old man and to conceal his own crime tries to fasten it on his successful rival to the hand of the mur- dered mans daughter. A tramp, in whose heart beats the nobleSt in stincts," witnesses the murder and ap- pears at the trial of the accused man in time to save him and cause the arrest of the murderer
 The specialties consist of dancing and singing, and with the company are sev- eral very clever speciality artists, among whom are J. A. Murphy and Tom Bar rett in musical specialties. The latter gave splendid exhibition of dancing. Miss Rita Dixon in ballads and Trilby speciality and Miss Alice LaMont in a change act song and dance were very good.
 J. A. Murphy as Horatio Xerxes Booth, the tramp, was very clever and got off a number of funny jokes that took well with the audience.
 Side Tracked" will be presented at matinee today and again tonight.

"A Breezy Time"

The attraction at O'Brien's opera house on Tuesday, January ', will be Fitz and Webster in "A Breezy Time" Comic opera singers think it a feather in their cap to take a high good and strong, but when 1t comes to high Doh. my! they are "in it.'' For a farce comedy artist to do the same it is, to say the least, unusual. There is one in "A Breezy Time. Miss Webster, after two hours and half of singing, dancing, playing of musical instruments, etc., which is conceded by all musicians to play havoc with the voice, sails up to high D and holds it clear and strong with the greatest of ease, while singing the music of the Turkish Opera" which comprises the last act of this popular musical farce comedy.

"Shore Acres"


 "Shore Acres" which is almost univer- sally acknowledged as the best Ameri- can play yet produced, will be given a fine scenic representation at O'Brien's opera house Monday. January 6. An eminent dramatic editor in writing of Mir. Herne's great work says: If Charles Dickens had had as much talent as he certainly had affection for the stage he would, I imagine have written just such a play as Shore Acres No doubt MT. Herne has delighted in nothing so much as the works of the English humorist. He has imbbed their atmosphere to such an extent that he sees all things and all people in Dckensonian light for the scenes and characters he presents are American to the core, It is rather their sweetness, their simplicity and their quaint humor that suggest the great nov elist'- There are nearly thirty charac- ters in "Shore Acres" and each and every one is distinct type and true to life.

SWALLOW D POISON.

Mrs. Eli Hazel, $50 Geary Street, Died
at the Receiving Hospital.
Mrs. Eli Hazel, $50 Geary street, died at
the Receiving Hospital yesterday after
noon from supposed poisoning, but the
nature OF the drug will not be known till
an autopsy is held at the Morgue.
Her husband is employed by a. L. Ban :
croft & Co., 324 Post street. H. got to the
hospital a few minutes before she died.
He could assign no reason for his wife
committing suicide.
81 left her this morning, he said, "and
she seemed as happy as possible. She has
been drinking heavily, and last night L
thought she was on the verge of delirium
tremens; but she appeared to be all right
this morning. l cannot believe that she
took poison"
Hazel and his wife had rooms at $50
Geary street. About o'clock yesterday
afternoon another lady roomer discovered
Mrs. Hazel in an unconscious condition.
She notified the landlord and he sent for
DR.. Sussman. After examining her, the
doctor thought she was suffering from
chloroform or laudanum poisoning and
ordered that she should be sent to the
hospital. The patrol wagon was sum-
moned, but when she was placed on the
operating table it was evident that she
could not live many minutes.
