a weeks engagement at the Opera House

capacity. the attraction being the four
act melodrama, "a Daughter OF Satan. a."
The company is the largest popular
oriced trouoe that has visited this city

her of beautiful stage settings. "a
Daughter of Satan" is an excellent
drama, containing many thrilling CHI
makes, and its presentation by the Ar
mold company was above criticism Each
and eyerv part was well performed and
heartily applauded. Clyde Franklin
had the title role and handled the part
in manner creditabe to any performer,
while Miss Musa Beal shared the honors
with him. w. w. Shuttleworth and
Pauline Seymour played the heavy parts
10 way that caused them to be "hated'
by every one. The speciaties between
the acts are new aud up-to-date and are
really enjoyable, especially that of the
little Wheeler sisters. The company,
as A whole, is an excellent one and is
worthy of a large patronage. The at.
traction tonight will be the sensational
melodrama, Midnight in Chinatown"
with an entire new line Of specialties.

The Old Ticket Office.

The old ticket Office of the Southern
Railway, which stood tor many years
near the southwest corner of Duke and
Henry streets, has been nearly elimi-
mated. so far as can be learned the site
will not be used for railroad purposes
again, The demolition of the old land
mark brings to mind many recollectlons
of early railroading IN Alexandra.
When the Orange and Alexandria Rail
road was completed, over fifty years ago,
this corner was the terminal, and pas
sengers, mail and baggage we're trans
ported in vehicles from the depot to the
steamer George Page at the foot OF King
street. Later the passenger trains we're
run to that point where the transfer was
made. Upon the arrival of the steamer
in Washington the passengers, mails
and baggage were forwarded in vehicles
10 the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad de-
pot. This plan was continued until the
outbreak of the civil war, and at its close
was resumed. 10 1873 the transfer ser.
vice to Shepherds was instituted, and
for a time passenger trains were sent
across the river on barges. This service,
however. was soon abandoned and trains
were run over the Henry street track to

A Husbands Terrible Discovery.

When Rudolph B. Scheltin, who is
employed at the navy yard, returned TO
his home. $50 Ninth street southeast,
Washington last night after his day S
work he discovered his wife. Mary Fran
els scheltin, and William A. Battomy
living dead on the floor in the front room
of the house. A revolver With three
empty chambers was on the floor between
! the bodies.
There we're two bullet wounds In Mrs.
Scheltin's head, one being just below the
| month and the other back of the right
car. Batlomy had an ugly wound over
| the temple
There were no signs in the room that
there bad been a struggle, and the police
| after a dilgeut search for evidence, are
of the opinion that the man fired the
shots, and that death was premeditated
in both cases. The surroundings ind.
cate that when the shots were fired both
were living on the floor in about the same
positions 10 which their bodies we're
| found. Death was instantaneous.
Mrs. Scheitlin and Battomy, it is said,
had been intimate for some time, and
this Intimacy, it is stated, caused many
ouarrels between her and Mr.. Schetln.
On one or two occasions il is known that
the woman left her home and was away
for several days with Battomy. Neigh
bOrs saw them enter the house together
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
sounds like pistol shots were heard in the
vicinity about o'clock. The husband
returned home about 5 o'clock, at which
time the bodies were still warm. Mrs.
Schetlin was 30 years old and Battomy
SO. The latter, it is ali ged, bad no
employment and spent most of his time
10 drinking and gambling.

fire bells and the arrival of the fire apparatus,
ran from their rooms, scantily clad, carrying

tieinz up the victim when they we're
frightened off by John Cunningham and

over the head with blackjack. DE
was taken to the Emergency Hospital,
afterward returning to bis hotel. UP to

invited him t, drunk several times. Po-
Iaski said later that he did not like The
looks of the strongers and Ignored their
invitations and left the saloon.
He was on his way TO visit some
friends in South Washington about an
hour later, and was walking slowly on
Seventh street through the park, when,
as he passed through an extremely dark
and isolated spot, the two men he had
seen ia the saloon rushed al him. One
delivered a heavy blow with black
jack, telling Polaski, who fought game

considerable difficulty that they managed
to get bis watch aud pocketbOok from
him. While one of the highwaymen
took the valuables, the other continued
his assault upon Polaski and tried to
place a gag in his mouth to stifie his cries
for help.
At the sight of Cunningham and
Hilte who heard the sounds OF combat
and ran toward the fighting group, the
two highwaymen jumped to their feet
and ran across Seventh street, disappear

New York stock Market.

New York, Oct. 24-There was readjust-

opening and during the early trading, stocks
being bought for special purposes IN some
cases, while there was liquidation for traders
in others. causing irregularity in prices but
without any decided change In the market
tone. One of the large room traders who has
b en- active for some time on the bull side OF
the market said there was too much Hearst
i'm the political situation for the good Of the
market. and this trader and others working
with him are understood TO have closed out a
large part of their speculative lines. AT the
same time the fact that the market had
three days advance, makes it natural that
reaction should now occur.
