TEN NIGHTS IN A BARRooM.

Although the heat was oppressive q
large number of people gathered at the
Opera House last night to witness the
production of this famous old drama.
Oae would bsrdly have believed that 80
many would have turned out on such a
warm night. But they were there and,
.iad giug from the applause, must have
heartily enjoyed the show. Without
doubt Mr.. Ernest Z. Boyer, who as the
leading light in the drama, playing the
role OF Joe Morgan, the druDkard, is
about the best ever seen 10 this city,
while Mr.. Linden Whestley, SIS Simon
SIade, the miller and tavern keeper, was
the recipient of tremendous applause ss
be magnifcently played the diff rent
psrs of this character. Mr.. David
Robey, as ROmaine, was, as usual, oil
the top.uOtch order, as we're also Messrs'
Ed. J. Fleming and Lambert Sullivan
In the characters of Harvey Green and
Willie Hammond. The ladies in the
cast were up in the parts assigned TO
them and received much encouragement
from the audience. In this connection
Miss Minnie Zimmerman, as little Mary,
was par excellence in the scene In
which she was the principal factor. But
Mr.. A. d. DeetOn, as Sample S"ltchel,
was the quintesseuce In the line OF fun
making and with Mehitable Cartwright
won great applause. The show was pro-
nounced good in every particular and
will be repeated tonight and tomorrow
night.

Jesse E Potbury aud Marcus Fl.
Trscy of NeW York have been appointed
by Justice Barnard, of Washington, as
receivers Of the barge POcahontas, with
authority to continue the excursion buSi-
ness. The application for receiver was
made By Burton G., Smith, who tells the
court that irreconcilsble differences have
arisen between him and his partner;
Laurence f. Dodge, as to the conduct
of the business. Fearing that creditors
may learn of their disagreement aud en-
barfsss the business by legal proceedings,
Mr.. Smith says, he decided to ask for
the appointment of the receivers. Mr..
Dodge fled an answer consenting to the
appointment. The PocahOntas began
July to give evening trips OF twenty
miles down the river and return without
landing. The boat is leased from New
York concern.
