ADJUSTMENTS.
Through the Breakers at the
Academy.

A play of thrilling incidents and in
tensely interesting climaxes, is Through
the Breakers at the Academy of Music
this week. There is enough excitement
to satiate. the widest Imagination of any
gallery god, and there were lots there last
evening to applaud the many clever
Nsceues. The ompany is unusually com
petent.s Every person in the cast is good.
Miss Ma1fde Banks, as Maude Radford,
the orphan heiress, is the cieverest of the
company. Her acting in the scene in
which she is suffering from loss of mem
DRY is Of the most finished kind. For
this piece of work she received much APP
plause from the fair sized audience,
which braved the extremely eccentric
elements.
The play deals with the Vaccinations
Of Peter Turner, the leader of a smuggler
band, who in his desperation at the mar
riage OF Maude Radford to Stephen
Douglas, attempts to murder Douglass.
The whole piece hangs on the attempted
murder and the efforts of Turner to keep
the marriage of Maude and Douglass a
secret. Maude loses her memory when
she sees Douglass, after Turner when
stabbed him. She even forgets that she
was married. Al unusual incident occurs
IN the second act. Douglass lies in bed,
sfill suffering from his wound. Douglass

OUR HARDY POLICEMEN.
Only One Case of Exhaustion in the
Force Resulted From the Storm.

Chief of Police Murphy did not meet
with the police captains at Headquarters
this morning. He left at an early hour
to go to Boston, where he is to be a
witness at the trial of SwindQer Spencer,
who escaped from the Massachusetts au-
thorities last year and was captured by
Jersey City detectives. The Chiefs place
was taken by Inspector McKaig. All the
police captains were at the morning con-
ference but Nugent of the Ocean ave-
nue. station. He telephoned that the only
way to get to Police Headquarters from
Greenville was to walk, and he did not
feel equal to the task. He sent his report
by Mounted Policeman Burke. 1t took
him a full hour to get to the city.
ssThe police said Inspector McKaig,
shave not suffered greatly. The only
case of exhaustion in the department. was
that of Patrolman Dunn, who was on his
way acros lots last night when he be-
came exhausted. He was in a snow bank
above his waist. He had not the strength
to pull himself out. Several men passing
that way found him and carried him to
the Ocean avenue station. Dunn had
been i'll. The police were all on duty ye--
tertay. OF course, they could not get
around as we'll as usual, but they did the
best they could
Most of the captains spent the night in
the station houses, as they feared some
big fire or other accident might happen.

GBEENvILLE, S. c., Feb. IA, 1s99.-The
new orders issued by the War Depart
ment leave the Fourth Regiment in a
state of uncertainty as to whether they
will be moved to Augusta or remain in
Greenville. The order provides for the re-
tention of troops in both cities, but does
not specify the regiments to be shifted.
There are twelve regiments left in the
corps and three brigades will be formed
of these. The present divisional head
quarters will be broke up and each
brigade will have its own administrative
officers. General Young is expected to
visit Greenville in a few days and the regi-
ments will probably be designated then.
The funeral of Private George H. Clay
ton, of Company G., was held on Thursday
and vas a strictly military one. Clayton
died of Bright's disease after a very short
Illness. His was the first death in the
regiment from disease. He was buried in
the National Cemetery at Salisbury,
North Carolina.
The Fourth Missouri Regiment was
mustered out of the service Friday.
The health of the regiment continues to
be excellent. In the Division Hospital,
which takes its patients from all six regi-
ments, in all about seven thousand men.
there are but nine patients, and none OF
them are in a dangerous condition. There
Is only one patient in the Regimental
Hospital of the Fourth Regiment.
The steam coils in the regimental bath
house burst on Friday and it was a day
before the bath was again in working or
der. No one was injured.
The cold weather of the past few days
has been the worst the regiment has ex-
perienced. The stoves enabled them to go
through it fairly comfortably, however.
A number of new tents have been obtained
by the Quartermaster's Department, and
they will be issued Immediately to the
regiment.

Rose Hill English Folly Company at
the Bon Ton.

The audience at the Bon Ton Theatre
last night was very large considering the
young blizzard that ragged all the after
noon and evening. The attraction at this
popular vaudeville house is the Rose Hill
English Folly Company. The curtain
rises on a burlesque, Round the Town"
1t is well staged. and is replete with
catchy music and handsome scenery, ana
a bevy of pretty girls. A number ct
good songs by a good chorus are Incl

The olio is very fair. 1t is opened by
Miss Blance Newcomb, a daughter Of
the late Bobby Newcomb. She is a very
clever artist, and the songs she rendered
last evening were we'll appreciated by The
audience. The next number is a farce
given by Cain, Mack and Washburn and
Udell. and it is certainly a laugh provok-
ing one from beginning to end.
Cunningham and Grant are a great
knockabout team and their turn well
merited the applause it received; Mile.
Eta Victoria is a very good contortionist,
and the the shapes she turns herself into

The Haswins at the Bijou.

The attraction this week at the Bi1ou
Theatre is 1.-THE Silver King" produced
under the direction of Carl A. Haswin-
The story of the piece is too well known
to need repetition.
The company which assists Mr.. and
Mrs. Haswin is admirable. The minor
characters have little to do but they do
that little well.
Skinner, the villainous crook, is excel
lently portrayed by John ]. Pierson. and
S. II. Verney is very natural as Daniei
Jaikes. Dorothy Slayton as ten year old
Cissy Denver shows that she is a bright
and most talented child
Mrs. Haswin portrayed a most difficult
part very well and won much admiration.
Anita Hendrie has very little work as
the waitress Susy, but 1t is exceiientty
done.
Mr.. Haswin was, of course, the bright
and shining star. His portrayal OF VIII
frid DEM was exceedingly clever
Because of the storm the house was put
half filed. Those who witnessed the
play were enthusiastic.

REPUBLICAN ENROLMENT

Colonel Dickinson Whose
Fences Need Repairs.

The Republicans are starting off their
campaign unusually early. A call for
the enrolment of voters has been issued

ranging to patch his very d~ilapidated
fences. Primaries for the election of
delegates to the Republican Mayoralty,

ventions will be held in about two weeks.

THE serious thing to consider now is
the inevitable thaw. If it finds the people
u~nprepared il will cause discomfort, loss
and sickness far exceeding the storm
itself. 1t lis the duty of everyone to begin
work at once, making ready to minimize
its evils.
First of all, it is the duty of the city to
open all the sewer ~culverts, with good
clear spaces about them of five or six
feet. These spaces should be kept open,
so that the water may run off rapidly. 1t
is of no use to say that there is no money
available. 1t should be found at once.
The officials should get together and raise
five or six thousand dollars for this work
before tomorrow morning.
When the blizzard occurred in 1885,
orestes Cleveland. who was then Mayor,
IN his own authority raised and spent
$4,000 in relieving the condition of the
streets. Nothing any Mayor of this city
has ever done, has ever been more highly
commended. 1t is useless for citizens to
do their share if the city does not take
this end of the matter in hand. Unless
the sewer basins are opened, we are
doomed to many days of unspeakable
misery.
The city should also clear the cross
walks at a number of the leading streets,
such as the corners of Washington and
Warren and Montgomery, Grove and
Newark avenue the Junction, the Five
Corners, Bergen avenue and Montgomery
street, and perhaps a hundred or two of
secondary importance. This could prob
ably lone for five hundred dollars.
The citizens should all clear their side
walks out to the curb, and pen a con-
tinuous trench along the edge of the side
walk for the water to flow off. This is
but a small matter to each individual, and
1t would be of infinite benefit to the whole
city. It means an average expense of
about 50 cents per twenty-five foot lot,
and 1t means comfort and convenience to
the entire city. The city ordinances call
for the opening of such a trench and the
police should see to 1t that on This urgent
occasion the law Is fully carried out.

After the Storm.

The process of digging out the city is IN
progress today. 1t Is going along merriy.
By tomorrow, in all likelihood. channels
of travel will be open in all directions.
The trolley cars will once more troll, ana
go as you please pedestrianism will go out
of fashion for a year.
On the whole everyone has risen to the
emergency in fair style. The idewaiKs
were cleared in inhabited regions to an ex-
traordinary extent, this morning. Street
crossings were trampled down into pass
able hardness, and the Traction Company
even though it was unabl to keep cars
running to any great extent, was still
the savio of the city, since it kept open
lanes through which coal, milk and
grocery wagons could get around, M
without which not a wheel could have
turned in the city this morning.
The great American hog was not en-
tirely absent IN this season of trial. He
was ont with his broom and shovel both
yesterday and today, undoing what his
neighbors had done for the general good.
In one place he shoveled back the snow
on the car tracks, as soon as the sweeper
was out of sight. In another he cleared
his sidewalk, shoveling the snow upon
the crosswalks, when it was just as easy
to throw it on the hillocks where pedes-
TRANS would not have to trample through
it. There were also some porcine speci-
mems who declined to do anything with
their sidewalks at all. They just let their
fellow citizens wade through the drift
Thu police should deal with these cases.
No doubt they will.
