JONES TROUBLES
As Portrayed BY Harry CorsOn Clarke
at the Patton Grand.

Nearly every seat in the Patton
Grand was occupied last night to wit
ness the performance Of What Hap
pened to Jones" by Harry Corson
Clarke and his excellent company.
There was no chance for q person to
BE- fooled on last nights performance.
and no patron of the opera house could
buy a pig in a sack" It is the second
season for Mr.. Clarke in this piece and
Phoenix was in last years itinerary.
Hence the people of this town had a
pretty well defined idea of what hap
pened to that man Jones, but many Of
them had forgotten the hundreds OF
funny things said and as their isn't q
bright thing in the whole play but
what is worth remembering they
wanted to freshen up a little. Speaking
of bright things, it was ali bright The
play is accounted to be one OF the
most laughable farce comedies ever
written and its hUmor is refined and
elevating. Fir. Clarke IS perfectly at
home in playing a part that is full of
rapidly changing conditions, each SEEM
ing more lUdicrOus than the one which
preceded il. In fact. if there ever was
. play where one laugh runs right into
another one, it is What Happened to
Jones" Owing to railroad connections
the company cannot leave here until
tomorrow evening, and while the opera
house was filed to overfowing last
night it is believed there axe yet a
great many Phoenicians who have not
acquainted themselves with Jones and
his peculiar troubles. The company
will. therefore, al the request OF many
who dared not venture out in the night
air. give a matinee this afternoon at ,
I o'clock at popular prices: 70 cents for
/ ali seats on the first floor. fifty cents
for the balcony and children twenty
cents.
No description viii be given here for
/ the reason that it is too good q story
to be spoiled in a hurried telling.
In the announcement last night it
was said that a year from now Mr.
| Clarke viii visit Phoenix with a new
pley entitled What Did Toml1ins Do?'
/ by Randolph Hartley. a California
newspaper man well known throughout
I the entire west. The new piece is said
( to be even better than Jones" If It
is it viii draw a house in Phoenix
without any trouble. and Mr.. Clarke
/ can return prepared to bow to 4 big
audience.

Earnest in Sunday school work.
IS LOCALLY KNOWN. A telegram
in The Republican this morning de-
.scribing a meeting of the national pro-
hibitionist committee at Chicago states
that O. w. Stewart of Illinois viii
probably be chosen chairman of the
committee. Mr.. Stewart is a brother
in-law of Mrs. \. j. Hansen of this

some time in the valley accompanied
by Mrs. Stewart. Both are lecturers of

equal suffrage advocate of national

A CURIO. - Everybody has heard
of mastodons and some people have
seen them, fortunately for the behold
er. a long time after they were dead,
as a good lively mostodon would be apt
to make things interesting for an in
truder on his domestic preserves. But
there is a mastodOn's tooth on exhibit
tiOnin II. L. Vantilburg's show window,
which all can look at in perfect safety.
It is a big one, and if the animal had
many like it and was himself proper
tionately large, he must have been a
monster. This tooth is twenty-one
inches in circumference, weighs seven
pounds ana has twenty-five roots, any
one of which is as large as the double
tooth of a horse. The tooth was found
in a thirty-foot shaft on No. >, bunker
creek, near Dawson City.

A heavy storm swept over many
parts Of North Carolina last Tuesday
morning in the interior, blowing cot
ton on the ground, and doing cosider-
able damage to houses and forests,
while along the coast the damage was
much greater,
At Newbern the tide was two feet
higher than In August. The estimated
loss to Newbern is fifty thousand dol
lars. The damage to saw mills is ten
thousand. Heavy loss of lumb8r and
logs is reported. Two warehouses,
with heavy storage of lime, caught
fire, but the fremeu extinguished it in
a few hours. Two steamboats, we're
washed on the docks. The large cot
ton platform on Craven street, laden
with cotton, f0ated Into the middle of
the street, making it impossible.
Capt. Dixon OF the Susie, was drowned
at Jacksonville while attempting to
reach the steamer with a email boat.
Toe loss at Wrigh5sville is placed at
$50. 900 to $25 900. Fifteen cottages
are a total loss and many more badly
damaged. The Sea Coast Railroad
track over the sound is a total wreck.
Loss $40 600 to $50, 900.

Wilmington Messenger says:

All the other houses were destroyed,
with the exception Of two or thre build
ipgs, and they we're badly damaged
The he tel ia a wreck, and its ad oining
cottages were washed to pieces.
The violenca of the storm is perhaps
attested by these few incidents. The
railroad was entirely removed from
the beach, aud a large part OF it car
ried across the sound into the wood
land, a section Of it being actually in
the trees. The platform in the rear Of
the hotel with it's accompanying steps
