AT WORK ON cULVERT.
Washout on The A., w. & b.
Railroad Being Rapidly
Repaired

Quite an extensive undertaking is
the rebuilding of the ouIyert under
the tracks of the Annapolis, Washing
ton q Baltimore Railroad, near the
Bay Ridge switch. 1t has been found
necessary to remove, the greater por-
tion of the fill. over whieh h the trains
formerly passed in order to get down
to the masonry portion.
The masonry has been badly under
mined and it will be necessary to en-
tirely remove it in order to make the
repairs permanent. A large force Of
men is employed, but it will take
some time to complete the work. Ia
the meantime trains are pushed from
the depot by an engine into a tempo
rary switch which allows the train to
then be Strengthened away on the
line leading direct to Bay Ridge.
From this track the trains are then
taken into the main line by means
of the Bay Ridge switch.
Tue curve on the temporary switch
is so abrupt that it is necessary to
place a long coupling between the
cars and not permit an engine to enter
it. Ten minutes are consumed in
this manner and for that reason trains
Will leave the station on West street
ten minutes ahead of schedule time.

time when the weather conditions
would permit of their leaving port.
While the storm was at its height
last night and the rain was falling in
torrents. many small craft, which had
been partially ice bound i'm the bay,

AT AN EARLY HOUR
Alexander Baily Tries to Enter

1t is very lucky for Alexander Bailey
that he did not succeed in his inten-
tions this morning. Had he done SO
the chances are he would now he held
on a far more serious nature than that
for which he was arrested. AS it is
he is occupying cell in the county
Jail.
At2o'clock this morning Patrolman'
Freeman discovered him trying to
open one of the doors in the market
house. He was very insistent in his
attempt and after watching him for
some time the officer placed him un-
der arrest He was unable to give
any good account Of his actions; and
he was charged with disorderly con.
duct.
Bailey was given a hearing before
Squire Feldmeyer and being found
guilty was fined So, in default of
which he was taken to Jail. Had he
succeeded in entering the market house
building even though his intentions
was but to sleep, the officer would
have been forced to place a charge Of
burglary against him.

ROBERT MANTELL.
The Foremost Actor of His Day
Performs at Colonial
Theatre.

Bad weather conditions precluded
the possibility of large attendance
at the Colonial Theatre last night to
witness the performance of Richard
III. " by Robert Mantell and Marie
Booth Russell, supported by strong
company In spite of the small num-
ber of spectators the performance was
rendered with as much attention to de-
tail and presentment as though play
ed to packed benches.
Disappointing as it must be to an
actor of Mantell's ability. reputation
and standing in achievements, to pre-
sent such an exacting play as Rich
ard III. " before a small audience, he
did not permit of any letting down of
those artistic touches which have
made it possible for him to secure and
maintain a position as one of the
foremost Shakespearean delineators.
His voice, carriage, stage presence
and Interpretation of necessary stage
business was excellent. His charac-
terization of the crafty, cynical and
mentally weakened one whom he rep
resented vas beyond reproach. TO
one who has seen him i'm the Corsican
Brothers, times without end, he appeals
stronger than ever before. He has
grown better and stronger, has grasp
ed that intuitive power of deduction
which even he himself did not know
he possessed and uses it with q chaG-
tened and subdued effect which cannot
but appeal even to the most jaded
theatre goer.
To those who have not seen the IA
nous actor, whose performance is far
and oxvou haitian than that 0f apv
presentation by the strident and self
conscious Mansfield, nothing can be
said except go tonight and see him in
Richelieu, - in which he appearssat
his best. Without doubt this is the
best of the many performances con-
tained in his repertoire.
