EXCELLENT COMPANY HERE
TOMORROW EVENING

"On the Bridge at Midnight" will
be at the Opera House tomorrow night,
Saturday, October 3.-Comedy char
acters like Germany and Reddy In the
play are hard to match. and the ex-
cellent company that the Klint q Gaz.
zola Amusement company have. pro-
vided this year for their famous
scenic drama should make these two
hits as enjoyable as yer The bridge
scene will be given deliberately and
faithfully, and shows what the COM
bined skill of scenic artist, stage car
penter, dramatist and producer can do
with the of the modern
stage. The mingling of humor and
pathos in this play Is as remarkable
as the chief scene. and the story OF
the blind mother seeking her stolen
child is SO fashioned that for the deep
ly interested audience that great
bridge, lifting its valves to let a steam
er pass, is only an incident after all.
There is a laudable effect shown in
this play to avoid the cheap effects
Of reckless, sensational melodrama
and to stick to the genuine strength
OF wholesome drama. There are
many characters besides the professor
and the bootblack that appeal to all.

because of the talk that might rise

 St. Johns, N. B., Jan. t7 The parksc- ulars of the remarkable escape from death. and the story of tLe prIvasions endured by the crew of the British steamer Tollesby. which was wrecked ten miles west Of Cape Race on Mon- day. were learned from the men who arrived tcdav.
 The Tollesby was bound from 0ai- weston. Texas, for Havre. France, with cotton. During a snow storm Mon- day the officers lost their bearings and the ship struck on a submerged ledge atathe foot of a steep cliff.

The crew then constructs ed rafts and succeeded in landing on e narrow beach at the foot of a solid wall of rock, i've hundred feet high and extending for miles.
 The men were little better of than when on board their vessel, for the tide rose and threatened to sweep them from their position.

REVIEW OF TRADE
BRADsTREEr REPORTS BETTER PREVAILING CONDITIONS.
There ia Further Easing in The Financial situation And Very General Reports. of InapFqve-
 Ments In Collections.

New York. Jan, 17-Bradstreet's to- morrow, will say:
 A further easing in the financial situation and very general reports of improvements in collections are Athe leading features this week. Jn trade line, colder weather and snow have helped retail distributions somewhat but price reduction sales are generally connected with responsibility for what ever expansion has been shown. in that branch as a whole. Wholesalers and Jobbers report sentiment improved. col lections benefited by the return to normal in domestic money markets, but trade demands are still below the nor maI and in some sections q late and small spring trade is predicted.
 Weather conditions are against the fullest development of trade in coal and in this line and in winter wear goods, clothing, shoes. rubbers and liquors there is also less than ordinary business moving. Accompanying the greater eae of money at all centers seems to have come tendency to pay up something on old accounts and some long standing bills have been settled. On the other hand the general slow ness of trade. whether due to mild weather or as the South to holding of cotton, leaves something to be hoped as regards collections. Complaints of many extensions being asked for. and perforce granted come from the South.
 Jobbing business in textiles is quiet and revisions in pdice of prints, ging- hams and plain and fancy cottons have not as yet evoked much buying at lead ing centers.
 More life is shown in pig iron mar kets. the principal demand coming from makers of cast iron pipe. Most of the business went to the South and the basis on which the tonnage was book ed appears to. be SIS per ton for No. at Birmingham. At the same time there has been some increase in blast furnace capaciy. The price situation seems to~be steady.

PROGRESS OF SOUTH.
weeks Review By the Manufacturers Record. s

Baltimore, Jan. IT-(SpeciaL)-- Special correspondence from Pineville' Kentucky. in this weeks issue if the Manufacturers Record tells of a num- Der of recent purchases of real estate involving the development of coal de- posits in that region. Among them 70 the purchase at a price Of Slbe.eOe Of 5000 acres of coal land which Is 10 DC reached by a railroad six miles long, to be built from Pineville and the pur- chase of land and a partly developed mine four miles from Pineville at cost of S75,000. One nearby coal com pany is building new houses for p'iners and adding to the already equipped electric plant new motors and machines with view to doubling the output this year. Another will equip its mines throughout with electricity and will open two other mines in expectation or being able by September to run 1,OOV tons a day. The majority of mines in that region are equipped with the county in which they lie Is looking forward to the near time when it will lead ih coal production fin the state.
 Some new capital has lately entered the various Kentucky oil fields and about fifty rigs are now engaged in drilling, much of the prospective work being done by pioneer concerns. A pipeline for natural gas is planned for a tWenty-mtle stretch in Clay county and another oil refinery is pro- posed by a company already operating one of the largest independent renn- cries in the country.
 Contractors who do most of the building of residences at New Orelans are preparing for a resumption of the building operations that were interrup- ted in the fall by the financial con- ditions During the past week there were issued permits for a number Of houses, ranging in cost from $1,500 to $4,1O0, and a large number of appiica- cations for permits were filed.

LIGHT COMPANY TO
 FILE AN ANSWER TODAY
Understood T'hat Difference With TFae- tIom Company wIlE Be Fought
 to Finish.

This Is the last day that the Mont gomery Light and Water Power Com pany will have a chance to file an anS swer to the petition of the Montgonl- cry Traction Company in which the latter asks about s55,000 damages. The original bill was filed on December 10 and as the law allows thirty days for an answer the Light Company will have to get it in today as the last day comes on Sunday.
 From the information that can be Rhthered from both sides it seems that this case will be fought to a finish in the courts. A few days after the suit was filed 1t was thought that probably the matter might be settled outside of the courts but that chance was lost and 1t now seems that 1t will have to take it's regular course through the City Court.

THE HUB IS BURNED
LOSS or ste,oeo IN EARLY MORNING
 FIRE.
BuiIding Ignited By Live Goals Falling
 ThrouEh Crevaees Tn . FIue
 in Second Story.

The Ignition of the building occupied by The Hub, The Prickett-Gerson Com pany, and by several others tenants. on
 Dexter Avenue near South Perry Street
 caused a loss of between $s.o00 and
 s1O 900 yesterday morning. The ad-
 mission of sparks through defective
 fiue from the second to the ground noor
 or the building caused the flames.
 The fire department. alarmed at SOS o'clock. found the store occupied by The Hub, clothing store, full of smoke and flames, and shortly afterwards 1t was found that the apartment next door, tenanted by the. Prickett-Gersoh
 Company. was anre. The greater ross 1 is entailed upon The Hub. in which the | loss, it was estimated last night, was | ss. Oo0 possibly sf0.o0o. It is thought that all losses are covered by tnsur- ance.
 The fire in the building, which is owned by pr. T. B. Hill was discover | cd shortly after o'clock yesterday | morning, the record at fire department l headauarters reading SOS. It was | found by an employe in saloon located | next door and the alarm was given by | telephone. The smoke then was issu- l ing from crevices which the flames | had broken through the glasses in .e
 smaller apertures in the front of ane | Hub.
 | l first of the fire department to approach 1 inc building, said that when he reached | the place it was just a big box Of l flames and smoke. When the door was | broken down the first outpouring of
 fire kept the fremen back for several seconds
 aver. fighting their way through the | nlace with chemical engines, which l were utilized with fine effect, every en- ] ieavor being made to save the stock | from damage by water. It was only | when fire was discovered in the store
 occupied by the Prickett-Gerson Com | pany and the chemicals were exhausted that water was played upon the flames,
 A fine spray being employed.
 1 After a brief but laborious battle against the flames, they were finally l subdued, the firemen finishing their | work about o'clock. An examination | of the premises after the extinction of l the nre showed that the building had l been ignited because of some defective | ness in the main chimney of the house. FSparks had fallen to the base of ue | chimney and had thence communicates | the flames to the woodwork in the Foundation of the building. It is not
 known how long the blaze had been \ Charles A. Kohn of The Hub said last night that their loss would De more than $s,o00 possibly Slo,00o. It
 was covered by insurance. The store
 they occupied was badly burned and
 their stock was damaged by smoke and | water.
 A member of the Prickett- -Gerson Conn- pany said that it's loss had not been es- timated, but that 1t would not be large and would be covered by insuranceI He expects to resume business within two or three days.
 l ment was made at 3:27 yesterday morn- Ing from i'll North Jackson Avenue the home of Alderman T. J. Thompson. An ash -pit had ignited the floor of the house, but the flames were extinguish- cd before considerable damage was
 done.
