ADJUSTMENTS.

Andrew Mack will be seen as "Myles
Aroon" at the rockingham this even
ing for the last time In this city. The
play is a very popular one here and
has always been received with favor
as has the sweet-voiCed star. Both Will
doubtless meet with the same cordial
greeting as heretofore. Since it's last
presentation here a new scenic envi-
ronment has been provided. And 1t
will be magniflcently staged. The
company is the same with the exception
of Miss Louise Montrose, who will be
seen for the first time here as Maggie
Farrell. A large chorus of male and fe-
male voices is an added feature. Their
sweet strains aid the harmonious eff
feet
At the rockingham tomorrow and
Saturday evenings and Saturday matt
nee will be seen the famous romantic
play of a. C. Gunter's Mr.. Barnes of
New York" The Times. Dec. II, Lo-
well, Mass. says: Much has been said
and written OF Miss Lorraine Hollis, the
star of the company but to our mind
all totally inadequate to describe the
dramatic force and power of this artis-
tic actress In Miss Hollis hands the
predominant feature and character of
the play Especially in the last act
were her tragic powers fully shown.
The company supporting Miss Hollis
was excellent. Every character was
we'll sustained and deserving of no
tice."
Manager Davis. Of Davis theater, has
secured for the last three days of this
week, commencing this afternoon the
great scenic melodrama The Midnight
Flood" This company was seen here
| last season and gave the greatest sat
| isfaction. The flood scene is one of
unusual interest and never fails to
| bring down rounds of applause. The
| piece goes to the heart and touches
| both old and young. Mr.. Louis Eagan
| is an actor of more than usual ability,
while Miss Gussie Gardner by her
! graceful dancing, is always a great
taVorite. The company is strong and
| evenly balanced and those that visit
Davis theater are sure of a first-class
| entertainment the three days the Mid
night Flood" company is with us.
Next Monday the Kennedy players
will open weeks engagement at the
Academy of Music. The company car
| rles a great quantity of special scenery
With them is Professor Mack enzie, the
| celebrated electrician, who has charge
| of the great Transformation dances of
| Nine. Flora, which will be one of the
| features of the performances. This
| dance is precisely the same as given
| by Madam Hermann in this city not
| long ago, except that Nine. Flora gives
"a number of extra effects not given by
| Nine. Hermann.

About thirty representative owners OF
property on Mulberry street met last
night in the mayors office at the city
hall and put themselves unqualihedly
on record as favoring land asphalt. 1t
was even proposed to send commit
tee post haste to Syracuse to inspect
the land asphalt paVemcnts there and
return in time for the meeting of COM
mon councils pavement committee to-
morrow night but that project was fin
ally abandoned.
At a recent meeting of common coun-
ell bids for paving Mulberry street from
Mifiiin to Prescott avenues We're re-
ceired as follows: Dunn Bros, $2.5S
per square yard; Barber Asphalt Paw
ing company. $2.56; August Robinson,
$2.43 and So the Columbia Construc-
tior company, of Syracuse, $l95. All
except the latter bid and the lower bid
of August Robinson were for pitch lake
asphalt
The committee to whom the bids were
referred were supposed to report at last
Thursday nights meeting but deferred
the report owing to the difference of
opinion on the comparative durability
of the lake and the land asphalt. Last
nights meeting was according to the
committees expressed wish.
