TROUBLE n. The B|10U.
The Curtain Was Tied Down to
the Stage.
EMPLOYEES DEMAND MONEY.
And the Police Prevented Interesting
Songs and Dances by the
Rose Hill Folly
Company.
DEMAND MONEY.

The curtain at the Bijou last night
rose on a packed house, galleries filed to
overhowing orchestra chairs occupied,
especially the foremost rows. "Rosc
Hills Folly Company" held the boards
The only women in the house were on
she stage.
The performance in its entirety was no
better nor worse than the ordinary run
OF troupes Of like complexion. The
delay in the raising Of the curtain was,
it is said, owing to its being tied down
to the stage. The almighty dollar, or
rather the want OF it, is said to be ut the
bottom OF the trouble. The stage mani
agcr and carpenter joined forces and de-
mandcI their pay before the curtain
should be raised, and presumably got it.
The bill poster, however, c,amorcd
about his share OF the filthy }ucre, and
he was removed from the scene OF action
by Il policeman.
There was a report upon the streets
that all attac1able property had been re-
moved and that Mr.; Scmon had left for
parts unknown. \ counter report places
him in the town OF Bridgeton, y. j.,
with his minstrel troupe.
Evident dissatisfaction with the per-
Torrance was heard on all sides as the
people left the house. 1t was, said by
many that the show had been shorn OF
its best features or of its worst, Just as
you may look ut the matter Certain
suggestions stronger than hints are said
to have been given by the police authori-
ties as to the non-pcrformance of certain
dances.
Engagements for some time ahead are
said to be cancelled.
Among the victims OF misplaced conf.
dence in this deal were John Skye, 18th.
ographer, S2S; orchestra, seven pieces
ST. each; stage manager, Sl60; special
officer, ST.; James }. Kane, advertising
agent, $3S; Cass Topper, milk, $3.50
Peipenbring, butcher, $3.50; two clean

One of the cleaners, a Polish woman
buried little one the last week and was
in need Of money to defray expenses
She went to Mrs Scmon and asked fol
something on account, and had the door

Union Pacific Sale,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The indications
now are that the government may yet re-
consider its determination to ask Judge
sanborn for postponement Of the sale
OF the Union Pacific Railroad There
are reasons for the belief that tho gov
eminent has received an additional pro-
position from the Reorganization Com
mittee. This proposition is believed to
be a material increase in the guarantee
offer, provided the sale is allowed to pro-
coed on the date originally fixed upon.
This increase, it is reported, will make
the committees guarantee bid equal to
the full amount of tho governments
claim against the Union Pacific road

MAY BE ANNOUNCED TODAY.
The Result of the Recent Election For Military
 Officers.

No announcement of the result of the hate election for lieutenant colonel and major in the Second Infantry, Alabama National Guard, has be n made, although Gen. Clark returned to the city Monday night.
 The vote has been in the hands of Capt Tom o. Smith, and is required by law to be canvassed by the brigader- general before announcement is made.
 Gen. Clark said last night that since his return to the city his time has been entirely taken up with personal matters and that he has had no opportunity to canvass the vote. He hopes to be able to do so today, when the result will be announced.
 The friends of Capt. Frank L. De- mere are confident of his election, and say that it is all over but the shouting. Capt Smiths election as major is certain, as he had no opposition.
