Diphtheria Increases.

Clara Kane, aged years, daugh-
ter OF James Kane of No. 3l4 South
Van Burnen street died from diph-
iberia this morning. A number of
new cases have been reported to-
day. Constable Hurlock was noti-
he'd this morning that he must take
action on account of case of diph-
iberia at Linden and Harrison
streets. On Friday last he went
there and closed the store of Dick
erson and Brother. In the store at
the time was quantity of fresh
meat. Owing to the condition of
the weather the meat has become \
spoiled and the smell from the store Z
is very obnoxious. To add to the
complications Viola Dickerson,
aged & years. who resides in the
house has become victim of diph-
liberia. Hurlock is expected to re-
port the case this afternoon and
will then have the meat removed
from the store. The Board of
Health authorities will not permit
the spoiled meat TO remain in the
store on account of the case of diph-
iberia in the same building.
The proposed placing Of the gar
bagc collection under the direction
OF City Council is something that
will work TO the detriment of health
matters in the city. 1t is as bad,
il not worse, to have barrel of de-
cayed vegetables in yard as wa
ter in a cellar. The executive Of
ficcrs OF the Board of Health visited
all sections of the city. At present
it is part of their duty to see that.
garbage contractors faithfully per-
form their work. The Health Office
is open from 8 clock in the morn
ing until clock in the afternoon.
The whole cause of the scheme be- .
ing so arranged is that, another of
flee can be created tor a DEMOCRAT j
and thcS contracts awarded by,
Council. The latter has limited the
appropriation for collecting gar
baSc to 81 1000 and the sum is in
adequate. Wilmington is the only
city in the country where the col
lection of garbage is not under the
Board of Health.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

JAMES o'NEILL IN THE MUsKETEERs.
James O'Neill in the Musketeers
at the Opera House tonight. 1t al
most goes without saying that as
D'Artagnan in Liebler and Com
pany's GORGEOUS production of "The
Musketeers which is one Of the
early attractions here, Mr.. James
O'Neill has another opportunity to
display his superb workmanship.
The public remembers Of course the
ease with which he, as the Count of
Monte Cristo, used to dispatch
Danglars, the banker, to his de-
served death. During several sea-
sons it was necessary to change
the actors who were first engaged
for that part as they refused to
play it after few months has pass
ed, claiming that they did not en-
gage to have two or three fingers
cut off, in the duel scene, for the
privilege of playing opposite to Mr.
O'Neill. Once an actor, who had
been slightly priclled by Mr.O'Neill
in the beginning of the scene, lost
his head entirely and made a vici-
GUS lunge for the redoutable Count,
with the avowed intention of putting
him .'hors de combat But he met
4 foeman worthy Of his steel, in
more senses than one, for ONeill
was on his guard, parried the
thrust cleverly, and followed up
his adversary clear across the stage
and into the wings, where he dis
armed him entirely. That night
Danglar's death occurred behind
the scenes, and.not in the centre of
the stage as the prompt-book calls

The attraction at the Opera House
for Tuesday afternoon and night
will be "Uncle Josh Spruceby.'
The scenes of the play were taken
from Vermont. The principal
character in the play is Uncle Josh
an old 'down East farmer, and
an opportunity is presented for
some very strong dramatic situa-
tions, as well as pure comedy and
wholesome fun. In these days of
farce comedies it is a relief to
witness play of this kind.
A carload of special scenery is
used and the great Saw Mill scene
is presented. Songs, dances and
many unique specialties abound.
The company carries s. people. A
big street parade is given at noon
each day. The musical features
include two big bands and splen-
did orchestra of twelve pieces.
Popular prices will prevail.
