PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.
The New Farce, Browns in Town." Proves
Amusing and Entertaining.

The catchy title Browns in Town"
introduces new farce which opened at
the Providence Opera House last even
ing for the balance OF the week.

Mark T.. Swan who also appears in the
piece taking the principal role OF
Brown. The new farce Is mirthful in
it's lines and situations and as present
ed by the talented people entrusted with
the several parts makes a relishable
evenings entertainment.The story tells
of a young fellow, Preston, secretly
married and threatened with disinher-
itance should his father discover ii. The
young couple are enjoying a honey
moon in a country house under an as
sumed name-Brown. Thither comes
young man, Howard. who was a rival
for the hand of the wife and from him
also it is necessary TO temporarily con-
ceal the fact of the marriage. The faith
er. too. arrives, searching for his son
who he has learned is at Browns"
house To deceive the old man, ii is
necessary to pretend that Howard is
Brown" and that Preston's wife is
Howard's. And To keep Howard from
knowing the truth as TO the marriage
OF the girl for whose hand he was Pres
tons rival it is necessary for Preston
TO present another young woman as his
wife. Thus is the complication required
by the farce writer begun and other
characters contribute 10 the snarls into
which it is worked. The tangle is pro-
duced with much ingenuity and bright
ness without making confusion in the
minds of the audience and the un-
winding Is naturally and pleasantly
accomplished.

With regard to the tariff question Mr..
Porter says: Conditions are so different in
the United States and England that what

MAY NOT LEASE THE ROAD.
New York Central May Drop the BOs-
ton & Albany Deal.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The Times to-mor-
row will say: ~'Chauncey NJ. Depew, Presi-
dent s. r. Galloway, H. NICK. Twombley
and other representatives of the New York
Central Railroad will go to Albany this
morning on a special train to attend the
special meeting of stockholders called to
ratify the leasing of the Boston & Albany
Railroad by the New York Central. In
consequence Of the opposition to this lease
made by the Boston & Albany stockholders
protective committee 1t is expected that the
New York Central stockholders will simply
defer action in the matter. 1t is possible,
however, that action will be taken looking
to a complete withdrawal on the part OF
the New York Central from the proposed
arrangement. New York Central people say
that II The purpose of the Boston d Albany
stockholders in seeking TO over
turn the management of that corporation is
to obtain better terms from the Wander
bilts 1t will fail. A report that has attracted
some attention is to the effect tina the
Boston & Albany stockholders who are an
tagoniStic to the proposed lease have ex-
erted themselves to have final action in
the matter deferred until after the proba-
ton of Cornelius Vanderbilt's will IN the
belief that the future disposition of so great
portion OF the Vanderbilt estate will make
an important difference in the attitude of
the Vanderbilts towards the various rail-
road schemes attributed to William X. Van
derbilt- There is the best authority for the
statement that no matter how Cornelius
Vanderbilt distributed his property among
his sons w. K. Vanderbilt's authority as the
sole directing head of the Vanderbilt family
will remain mistaken for several years to
come.
