OPERA HOUSE
DESTROYED.
A Sad Affair at Newport
News.
rlANY HAVE A NARROW
ESCAPE.
Richmond Workmen Injured.

NEWPORT News, Va, Oct. %, 1898.
The new colored opers. house which
has Just been erected at the corner OF
Madison Avenue and Twenty third
Street, and on which the finishing
toxohes were being placed, collapsed
at 3 20 o'clock this afternoon Walter
Rodgers. who was experimenting the
work on the top floor of the building,
received fatal injuries. Edward Rod
gers, a brother OF the dead foreman, is
missing, and it is believed that his
body is under the debris.
LARGE STRUCTURE
The opera-house was large brick
structure, covering two lots, and was
three stories high. 1t wss erected by
an organization of colored men known
as the Columbian Investment Associ-
alton. The men working on the build
ing who saw the collapse say that the
roof first caved in, and its weight On
the next floor forced the walls to
spread, the third floor sliding to one
side and the second to the other, caus-
ing complete destruction almost to the
ground.
A ROARING CRASH.
The roaring crash of the collapse
was heard by people several squares
oil, and soon attracted an immense
crowd. The moans OF the unfortunate
men under the ruins were distinctly
heard by the by ISLANDERS, and every
man who could make himself useful
assisted in rescuing the victims. Wal
ter Rodgers died shortly after being
moved to his home. Henry Newell, a
cClLred plasterer, was internally in
jured, and was taken out just in time
10 be saved from certain death under q
part of the wall, which tumbIed as
soon as his rescuers pulled him from
the debris. Other men injured pain
fully are A. J. Timberlake, James Dud-
lev. Max McGuade, Sam Jones (color-
ed r Owen and William Reagan.
A GREAT CALAMITY.
Eye-witnesses of the calamity saw q
man appear at a second story window
and leap for his life. On striking the
ground he fell, and before he could
rise again the wall was upon him. Sew
eral men saw this man, who is believ-
ed to be Edward Rodgers, caught un-
der the falling bricks. A force OF men
worked at the ruins until dark, but nc
trace Of any other victim has been
found
Walter Rodgers was q native OF
Charles City county. He leaves wife
and several children. Several of the
injured men hail from Richmond.

The Sixth Virginia Regiment volun-
teered with the understanding that it
would be mustered in under the COM
mand of its own officers. The matter
was duly considered at the state ex-
ecutive mansion and the War Depart
ment.
THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COMMANDING
OFFICERS.
Gov. ]. Hoge Tyler, however ap-
pointed Mr.. Croxton as Lieutenant
Colonel. Ii was evident soon after he
took charge at Camp Corbin, near this
city that he did not like the idea of
having colored officers and that he
would do all in his power to get rid of
them.
When it was ascertsined that the
regiment would not be mustered out,
but would be transported TO Knoxville,
Tenn. it was evid ent that trouble
would commence.
THE TROUBLE AT KNOXVILLE.
The Georgia regiment annoved the
colored troops, and no doubt Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Croxton coming in con-
tact with the prejudiced southern Of
fl sers decided upon the scheme which
has worked SO successfully. The War
Department was requested to order .
Board of Examiners, composed OF
these prejuiiced officers TO examine
into and report upon the efficiency CT
nine of the officers of the Sixth Virgin
ia Regiment.
A DISTINCTION WITH DIFFERENCE.
In order to avoid the appearance OF
discriminating on account of color,
Major j. B Johnson, Capt. W.. A
Hankins and Capt. B. A. Graves were
not disturbed. Assistant Surgeon e.
r. Alexander was not included, be
cause the examination of him would
have led TO the examination of Assist
ant Surgeon Black (whIte).
LIST CT THE VICTIMS.
The following however were marked
for slaughter: Major w. H. Johnson,
of Petersburg. Va; Capt. Charles b.
Nicholas, OF Richmond; Capt. jaime
q. Hill and Capt. J. A. @. Stevens, OF
Petersburg, Va; Capt. Edward W.
Gould and Capt. Peter Shepherd. Jr.,
of Norfolk vnd Lieutenants s. b. Ran
dolph. George T. Wright and David
WOrrell.
All of these officers had been exam
ined by the military board of Virginia
and pronounced competent.
THE EXAMINERS FAILED TO EXAMINE.
Accordingly. when the War Depart
ment ordered the Board of Examiners
TO repair to the SIKH Virginia Regi-
ment and examine the officers, there
was no alternative for these gentlemen
bat TO resign or be declared inc nm Pc
tent by a Board selected for that pu'-
pose. That they could not hops tc
pass was plainly evident by the, fact
that olonel Croxton de-
claring in advance that they could
not. No time had been given them tC
prepare themselves for the ordeal, and
they promptly resigned.

VIII YOU luDicQte?

In our imagination we hear
the mighty gasp that ascends
to the clouds from a doubtful
though expeCtant multitude
of thirsty souls. Doubtful,
because Of the apparent alb
surdity of such a proposition
coming from US. And yet
we mean every word we
say, and as a new method of
advertising, repeat, "Will you
lubricate?"
We have just received a
large shipment of the famous
COLORADO brand of lubrl-
cants, which for density of
viscosity, high fire test and
perfect working qualities,
cannot be eXcelled. Here is
a list of a few specialitles:

REAL VALUES.

Several years ago a sample Of tea
to experienced" persons in this city,
who after due consideration, valued it
at about 60 cents per pound, and this
valuation was accepted as final and re-
liable. We sent a sample Of this tea to
one of the leading tea tasters" of New
York City, one of those persons upon
whose judgment valuable cargoes of
teas are priced and sold. He was asked
to make a thorough test. He replied
and was corrOborated by his associate,
that the value of the tea was about Is
cents per pound.
twas repeatedly said in the California
paper, several years since, that tObac-
co grown in the State was fully equal
to that grown in Cuba. OF course men
began to dabble in tobacco culture for
good Havana Hfillers" are worth 81 per
pound Some of this tobacco equal to
the best Havana" was secured, sent to
reliable expert and tobacco broker,
and was valued at % cents per pound.
The average man who undertakes a
new project likes to be told something
pleasant about it, and hates the max
ed'' truth, just as DR.. Bishop hates a
naked" picture. But the day Of reck-
oning comes at last. Nature demands
a square deal. Even our valuable and
progressive fellow citizen, Mr.. Marsden
got a little off on the canaigre bust
ness, just as we all frequently get off
because we dislike to search out and
stand before that most disagreeablt
monster-a "cold fact"

SUSPENDING SENTENCE.

If any of the Senators are in doubt
about the wisdom of the proposed law,
giving magistrates the right to sus-
pend sentences in certain cases, very
brief examination of the reports Of the
Prison. Reform Societies will remove
the doubt. The power to suspend is
one of the best methods of controlling
depraved young men and women.
While the power has been abused to a
very limited extent by some corrupt
magistrate, it has proved to be an ex-
eellent educational process.
In the large cities where youn men
become incorrigible, it not unfre-
quently happens that parents make
complaint to the magistrate where
their children have committed petty
crimes, and on conviction the sentence
child lives in fear of Imprisonment,
and behaves properly. In the large
cities this may be done without pub
licity. Some years ago a millionaire
had his own son arrested and convicted
of the offense of drunkenness and
brawling. The sentence was suspended
The son could defy his parents, but
feared to tussle with the police judge
Those who have questioned the wis
dom of enaeting this bill seem to be
lamentably ignorant Of the very large
amount of literature on the subject to
be found in civilized countries. They
might as we'll bring in bill to forbid
the exercise of the pardoning power
by the Executive.
The doubt about the wisdom OF the
law, as exhibited in the debate of the
House, is similar to the doubt existing
with the boys debating society OF
Timbuctoo, when they discussed the
question, do the Europeans wear
clothes, and if SO, for what purpose?'

Bishop and Rector.

The controversy between the Angli-

John osborne has reached the pamph-
let stage. Rev Mr.. osborne is out
with the book. 1t has two long artf-
cles. One is by the Bishop and the
other a reply by the publisher. The
quarrel is over the new mission Angli-
can chapel in Punahou. 1t is held by
the Bishop on a church law basis that
the chapel cannot be used yet. Rev.
Mr. osborne differs and for one thing
says that he has appealed to the Arch
bishop of Canterbury. 1t is stated by
a layman who is we'll informed that
the Bishop claims the chapel cannot
be dedicated because it is On leased

THE CORRECT TIME FOR VOTING

The Commercial Club of Chicago,
after listening on February 9TH, to
Professor Won Hoist on the annexation
question. Immediately voted against
annexation Judge Lambert Tree in
the Chicago Tribune refutes Professor
Won Holsts arguments, and intimates
that to take such a vote latter hearty
dinner" discloses the baleful effects of
wine. The Chicago Post says the club
is the most powerful commercial club
in the West, but that it's members COM
prising the most prominent men in
Chicago, failed to grasp the full ma
tional import Of the opportunity.
'fBut," says the Post, ''let anyone tram
pie on their commercial corns, as some
nation is sure to trample on American
commerce in the Pacific, and these in
fIolent gentlemen Of the Commercial
Club will resent it with a vengeance
that the Intruder will never forget"
If these men were British merchants
(excuse us for abiding to such grasp
ing shop keepers, sending as they do
their goods to all parts of the world,
they would have insisted on annexa-
fion. in the interests of trade. These
Chicago merchants, representing some
hundred of millions of dollars, do not
yet feel keenly the need of foreign
- o,,l +baroforo do not feel the need
of out posts. These men feel about an
nexation just as we feel about japanese
immigration; so long as there is profit
i'm things as they are, why take any
new departures? These men represent
the conservatism of wealth. Against
them are the men who take larger
views, and are convinced that it is the
wisdom of the hour to annex Hawaii
Regarding the taking of the vote oil
the club after a hearty dinner, it re-
calls the anecdote told in the last At
lantic by Colonel Higginson, of his ex-
perience in the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture. He was speaking in favor of the
oleomargarine bill, and remarked thai
a gentleman in New York City had put
the very best butter and the best cleo
margarine on his lunch table as an eX'
pertinent, and that his guests had pre-
ferred the oleomargarine. The House
was struck with the force of this fact
when member rose and asked: evil
the gentleman kindly inform us a
what precise stage of the lunch thi:
test was applied?" His bill was de
feated.
The question now is, as Judge Tree
suggests, at what stage of the dinner
was the vote of the Commercial Clut
taken.

WIDE TIRES.

Anyone who will look into the mat
ter carefully will see great merit in
Senator McCandless' bill providing for
the use of wide tires. Those who are
interested in the preservation of good
roads see in the use of these tires, one
of the best means of securing that pre-
servation.
The extreme conservatism Of the ra-
cial habit of thought has prevented
the adoption of this improvement in
civilized countries, in spite of the
prompt admission of it's great value

by every person who has taken the
trouble to examine it. If the Senator
succeeds in securing the enactment Of
his proposed law, he will have done
the Islands a most substantial service.
Moreover, he will have shown an ex-
cellent example of what energy can do
in accomplishing results. The advo-
Gates of good roads elsewhere, have
not been fortunate. Vested interests,
and indifference are the lions in the
path.

Chicken Pie.

Cut into pieces and boil two chickens;
remove the large bones; cook in suffi-
cient water to make plenty of gravy and
leave it on the chicken; add salt and
pepper to taste; thicken the gravy with
a tablespoonful of flour well blended
with cold water. This will fill the pie
which must be baked in a two-auart
pudding dish, though tin pail will look
more like mothers. Now, for the crust:
One pint and a half of flour in sieve. 2h
teaspoonfuls pretty full of baking pow
der, half teaspoonful of salt; sift all to-
gether twice; then rub into -four a half
cupful of butter; then with a spoon mix
soft batter with milk; mix il as soft as
you can; barely mix afterward with
hands and roll one-half of it half an
inch thick; line the dish; put in the
chicken and cover with the top crust
the same thickness; pinch the edges
together firmly; bake an hour in a
quick oven; let stand 20 minutes before
sending to the table. Don't put va
riety of other things on the table, and
/ venture to say they will enjoy the pie
and say it is almost as good as grand
ma made.-Boston Herald.
