tSM Woaotrouo Conflagration Testeruajr
Afternoon.
TW tarriblo Are yesterday afternoon in the
Moaro fcouded by Girard avente, Poplar street,
Mairball jbI Seventh, which spread through
almost tbe nilre block of dwellings, carrylag
terror and dvWuctlon to dozens of hemes, has
been given U the public, with almost all Its
details, hr the morning papers. This calamity
has no parallel In onr local history for this year.
Jt Is a matter of Impossibility to arrive at the
exact loss entailed by such a disastrous confla
gration, and we are compelled to be satisfied
'with a rough estimate of the sufferers. There
are some things about this dreadful event that
want explanation. Why was It that, when alarm
boxes were In the Immediate vicinity af the
scene of the fire, a policeman travelled to the
Twelfth District Station-house, at Tenth and
Thompson streets, to strike the alarm, thus per
mitting the flames to gain an uncontrollable
headway? and how was it that cur new Paid
Fire Department was so dilatory In getting
upon the ground and into active operation ? We
expect something better of it.
So far as we are able to ascertain, the losses
are as follows:

floor of No. 537 Commerce street. As the fire
originated in the upper stories, neither of these
portions were touched by the flames, but were
thoroughly inundated with water. The loss of
Mr. Collins may be put down at a rough esti
mate at $10,000, upon which there is ample In
surance. Messrs. Spangler & Davis also occu
pied the second and fourth floors of Nos. 537 and
539. Their place was fully stocked with mate
rials and presses. The loss they sustain equals
their insurance, which is as follows:

"O Borneo, Romeo 1 wherefore art thou Romeo?"
About six weeks ago there appeared in the
advertising columns of a mernlng contemporary
the following unique paragraph, credited to the
Medical depository, a new authority in matters
of high art:
'Having heard that John 8. Eitlla Intends to adept
the stage as a profession, we fel called upon to say
that we believe this man to possess the most won
derful tragic genius In the world. He appears to ne
a perfect mster of every passion of the human soul,
and can exhibit at will the most gentle feelings In
the sweetest utterance, or give vent by one loud out
buist of furious paxston to all the stormy feelings of
the human heart. We speak irom our own knowl
edge of the man, having heard kirn ourselves."
Soon after appeared the announcement that
Mr. Estlln wouli appear at the Academy of
Music is "ehakespeare's snelime tragedy of
liomeo and Julie (," with a number of well-known
amateurs in the cast. Having oace divulged
his plans to the public, oar "most wonderful
tragic genius" followed It up by telling the peo
ple through freqnent advertisements who and
what this man Shakespeare was, with choice
extracts from bis plays, as a foretaste of the
grand treat in store. Last evening "the most
wonderful tragic genlns" made his debut, and
the Academy of Mnsie was filled to overflowing.
Nature abhors a vacuntn, and the atmosphere,
on the occasion of Mr. Estlin's "benefit and first
appearance," penetrated every nook and corner
of the building and filled the spacious audi
torium as full as it was ever filled (with air)
before. Indeed, the only displacement sus
tained by the air we breathe was caused by the
presence of about two hundred people, who were
scattered all ever the house.
The handbills and advertisements had pro
mised the audience the "overture and otner
choice selections from the opera of liomeo and
JulUt" by "a select orchestra." 'The orchestra,
however, was non inventus, and Shakespeare's
"sublime tragedy" was rendered without any
dilutions bv the strains of Gounod or Bellini.
When the ''tragic genlns" made his entree, he
was greeted with a hearty round of applause,
which, before the close of the first act, be
came so continuous that "the genius" was
slightly incommoded. He persevered, neverthe
less, and at the close of the act, was called be
fore the curtain by an audience whose enthu
siasm made full amends for its meagreness, and
who had by that time come to see that they
were enjoying about the rarest tragic treat that
had ever been given in the Academy. During
the progress of the second act, the audience was
even more uproarious than during the first, the
earneet plaudits being mingled with loud cries
of "hi! hi!" "go it, old ooy i ana tue line. At
the close of the act, "the tragic genius" was
again called before the curtain, and embraced
the opportunity to apologize for the non-appearance
of the promised band. But his first sylla
bles were drowned by stentonlan cries of
"louder I" and as fast as "the genius" lifted up
his voice, the audience did likewise, until the
climax was capped by a cry of "louder, old
puddin' headl
"Alas, poor Romeo, he is already dead!" ex
claims "Mercutio" in one of the earlier scenes.
aid In sooth such was fairly his condition by
the time he should have made his entrance In
the first scene of act third, to encounter the
taunts of "Tybalt." There was a delay of full
five minutes eeiore "nomeo appeared, atter
"Tybalt ' had exclaimed:
"Here comet my man."
"Where'n the d 1 is your man?" roared a
small boy in the third tier.
"Komeo, wnere an tnour arawiea out a
venerable octogenarian opposite, who had a
codv of the Dlav in his hand, and was assidu
ously following "the tragic genius" through his
part.
"Here he comes," finally exclaimed one of
the anxious waiters, as ''the genlns" rushed
upoi the stage from the wrong direction, a per
fect picture oi despair.
The audience became ecstatic at this point,
nnd roared like mad. The Interest deepened is
the play progressed, and waen toe scene in
Juliet's chamber came on, another climax
was reached. Just as "the genius" was pouring
out his heart to his mock love, an enthusiastic
youth in the family circle hurled a handful of
coppers at the enamored "Romeo." This slightly
disconcerted hini, at did likewise a bundle of
dry leaves which quickly followed it. Bat the
indignity was not consummated until, as "the
genius was about stretching nis two bands
towards heaven, he was greeted by an enormous
cabbage, which fell at his feet and smote him on
the toes. Then the thing became monotonous,
and "Romeo" turned upon his persecutors.
Wheeling up to the footlights, he exclaimed
pathetically:
"Ladles and gentlemen, I'm a tick man!"
"So you are!" came from one of his auditors.
"I'm not fit to be here,' he continued.
"That's so!" was the read response.
"Ladle and gentlemen, I have been studying
this part so hard that I haven't had time to eat,
put In "the tragic genius" again.
"Go take a drink!" shouted a man in the
family circle.
And so the fun progressed, until an otner rare
point was reached at the tragic death-scene in
the last act. "Ah! ah!" "Oh! oh!" "Esy!
easy!" came from all parts of the house, as the
u fortunate lovers were letting themselves
down, and when they were stiff and stark on
the noor, tne entuusiasuc youm in me lautuy
circle who had thrown the handtuu oi coppers
cried out lustily:
"Set 'em up again !"
But they were not to be Bet up again. They
had done their duty nobly, and were In at the
death, and that is all that was required.
Perhaps the best solution of the unique enter
tainment that could be given was that made by
a sympathetic auditor, who, during one of the
waits, mounted the stage and commenced:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I once knew a man in
a lunatic asylum "
"Estlin!" Efrtlii! Estlin's the man!" cried a
dozen voices In chorus.
"When," continued the sympathetic auditor,
"when I asked him what brought blm here, he
said, 'I bad a hobby which I would ride, and as
it couldn't throw me, I rode it until I fetched up
here.'"
"Estlin's the man!" again shouted the au
dience, and the rest of the speech was lost in the
uproar.

which has ever been exhibited.
Delegates are now present In the city from all
parts of the United States, to attend the meet
ings of the association. Tbe number of visitors
which this series of exhibitions has brought to
tbe city Is quite large, and it is hoped that they
will all heartily enjoy their visit.
The picture display which opened this morn
ing will demand a large share of the attention
of tbe visitors. At the hour of writing the ar
rangements were not quite complete, but even
in tbe unfinished state the exhibition promised
to be of the most entertaining, pleasing, and in
structive character. ' Tbe hall has been divided
up Into small alcoves or booths, so as to give as
much wall room as possible, and a partition
runs down the centre of the hall, In which are
alBo displayed numerous fine works of art.
Tbe exhibitors were not yet all fully repre
sented, but a great number had their contrlbu
tions fully and carefully assorted and arranged.
Onr city photographers were fully represented,
as well as those from all parts of the United,
states and Europe. Among the Philadelphia
delegation were noticed some very fine and large
pictures of miscellaneous kinds from Gute
kunst; a very large assortment of out-door views
and inldes of buildings, from R. Newell, many
of which were familiar scenes in this neigh
borhood. The display of Glhon & Thompson occupied
an entire alcove, and as large an assortment from
Osier hung along a portion of on side wall of
the hall. Wamsley & Co. exhibited some ivory
types of exquisite finish, and Albert Moore con
tributed various large specimens of perfect pic
tures enlarged by means of tbe solar camera
from small negatives. The American Photo
graphic Relief Printing Company exhibited
liumerons specimens of photographic mechani
cal printing by the Woodbury process, which
that company is now able to turn out in good
stjle.
F. A. Wenderoth contributed the results of
experiments in carbon printing, which showed
all the finish of long experience. German's de
partment was extensive. The display of me
chanical photographs of machinery, etc., was
very complete, and shewed how far photography
is new used to aid the mechanical arts.
Vansyckle & Brother contributed several good
specimens of portrait work: and Herman Roett-
ger, manufacturer of photographic lenses, had a
most elaborate cane filled with the finest pro
ductions of his workshop. F. Reifsnyder showed
a large assortment oi passe-partouts, and ilale,
Goodman & Co. a collection of elaborate frames.
Tbe tables from Wilson. Hood & Co. were
burdened with specimens of every kind of ma
terial or substance used in the art, and a similar
set of tables were furnished from E. & H. T.
Anthony & Co., of New York. New York also
sent specimens from w. Kurtz, some of which
were very large and fine, especially some cattle
views from life, large size, and a view of Broad
street, Philadelphia, looking north from Spring
Garden; also specimens from Bogardns and N.
u. ttusey, oi jNew xork, and w. a. Pendleton,

Home colored specimens irom D. is. Bedlln. of
Philadelphia, were very fine, and the table of
photographic materials irom castle, oi (Jieve-
ano, was eiaoorate and complete.
The display of foreign photographs was pro
bably the most attractive. The pictures of this
department were from Moser, Sr., and Carl
Snch, of Berlin; from Grasshoff, Uterville, and
Brigny, of. Leamington. In addition to all
these there were any quantity of miscellaneous
views, steroscopic and statuary pictures, auto
types, glass positives, and the like. The exhibi
tion, altogether, offers the greatest of induce
ments to all loves or peanty or or. the nne arts.
MOTAMENSINO.
Annual Report of the Prison Agent Ilia
Ai Union aua stow lie Aceompiunes it.
We this mornlnar received the annual reDort
of Prison Agent William J. Mullen, rendered to
tbe Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the
Miseries of Public Prisons. He says:
He has endeavored to make It his constant care
to de what he could to assist the authorities In dis
pensing justice. If the labors of the agent have not
accomplished all that could have been desired, in
the settlement oi over ra.ouu cases oi persons wno
have been Incarcerated, and have now been liber
ated by his management, whom he has been Instru
mental in releasing irum me oeginning, ne lanes
consolation in a consciousness that he has left no
thing undone, Intentionally, that it was la bis power
to do, that would be productive of good results, and
If in disposing of these cases by bis interference, he
has succeeded m meeting me expectations ana ap-
Sroval or his fellow.citisens, his highest ambition
as been reached, and he will feel happy.
He has been Instrumental in releasing from orison
ST0T persons; of this number there were 63 children,
and 8 Insane. All these were court casss, and the
most of them were Innocent of what they were ac
cused of, or whose real offenses, upon Investigation
were found to be of so trivial a nature as not to
justify their further Imprisonment. Of this num
ber, many who were destitute at the tlaie they
left tbe prisonj were supplied with bouies or
employment. .'il
The whole number of persons released frou
prison, through the Interference of the agent, during
the eighteen years of his agency, has been 8S,S94, at
a saving to the county of $iT2,l'.) SI. These fact,
taken in a pecuniary point of view alone, would
seem to make the mission one of importance.
Inciting to Riot. There was an election at
Twenty-first and Ellsworth street last night to
decide the location of a precinct-house, and
James Winters, who was rather the worse for
liquor, was continually disturbing it. He got
into several wrangles with different parties.
He was finally arrested, and Alderman Dallas

HIGHWAY ROBBERS.
Daring Attempt to Rob a Ilaltlmorean
The Thieves Captured and Ctniekljr Die.
'7 poacd of. ........
A Baltlmorean, named Daniel Finn, on his way
from New York, arrived at the depot at Thirty
first and Market streets at about half-paU
twelve last night. He was met in the depot by
two notorious thieves named James Smith and
John Burns.
These fellows took him over to a tavern oppo
site and proposed to treat him, which proposi
tion be accepted. They then asked him to take
a walk, and he complied. After sauntering
around for a while the thieves pretended that
tbey desired to go up Ludlow street, and Mr.
Finn accordingly went with them. When they
arrived at a lonely spot one of the men seized
Mr. Finn, ran him against a fence, and tripped
him np.
They both fell, and daring the scuffle the
other party busied himself in trying to get at
the pocket-book of tbe Baltlmorean, who dur
ing this time was fightiug witu vigor and
screaming "help," "police," etc. Officer
McDonald, of the Sixteenth district, heard the
cries, and ran up in time to prevent the robbery.
Tbe two fellows scampered off, but the po
liceman arrested both of them by a prompt
production of his revolver. Officer Urian
coming up, the highway robbers were taken to
the station house. Mr. Finn being a powerful
man, tbe thieves did not succeed in getting at
his pocket-book. The prosecutor wished to
return to bis native city; but Lieutenant Leech
detained him until this morning.
Tbe Lieutenant brought the prisoners in this
morning, had them arraigned before the Grand
Jury; Mr. Finn testified, a true bill wan found,
and tbe scoundrels will be tried this afternoon
in tbe Court of Quarter Sessions.
Many robberies of this kind are perpetrated in
the neighborhood of railway depots, and the
thieves generally escape justice because th pros
ecutors will not remain In town to appear against
them.
DlBORDIRLT HOUSB BROKEN UP. Od CheS-
nut street, above Thirty-fourth, is a house kept
by Henry McKeown. For years past it has been
tbe resort of worthless and abandoned charac
ters, both male and female. Yesterday after
noon some half dozen parties were in the es
tablishment, and their riotous conduct and
profanity caused much annoyance tD respectable
people. A neighbor swore out a warrant before
Alderman Lungren, and Lieutenant Leech sent
there a squad of officers who entered the place
and arrested three or four others, beside Mr. and
Mrs. McKeown. The entire party were marehed
to the alderman's office for a hearing. The
magistrate consented to discbarge the ethers
but held the husband and wife in flOOO ball
each.
Notorious Pickpocket Caoxd. Readers of
local news should be familiar by this time with
the character of Lewis Jones, alias "Brother
Bones," one of the most dexterous pickpockets
in Philadelphia. Yesterday afternoon, as the
negro parade was passing Eighteenth and Ches
nut streets, Lewis tried to operate upon the
pocket of a lady who was standing watching
the parade. She screamed, and Lieutenant Fla
herty and Officer Carr ran up In time to discover
"Brother Bones" making hasty steps down
Chesnut street to Seventeenth. The officers
followed, and captured him on Seventeenth
street, above Chesnut. Lewis Is under $300 ball
by Alderman Morrow.
Two Burglaries. The residence of W.
Harris Kneass, at Fortieth and Oregon streets,
was entered last night and robbed of 4300 worth
of silverware. The windows were found closed
this morning, and the front door had been
opened from the inside, and these circumstances
lead to the belief that the thief had secreted
himself In the dwelling.
Two thieves broke into Jones Mansion, East
Fairmount Park, this morning. Tuey were
surprised by Keeper Menes, who fired three
shots at them, but they managed under cover of
the woods to effect their escape.
The Pittston Sufferers. The Mayor this
morning received the following additional con

Thomas and Robert Walsh, Thomas 8hea, and
James Carr, but concerning the others he had
not decided. The case was adjourned to 3

his decision.

Public Schools of St. Louis.
8t. Locis, June 6. Ira Divall, late Superin

efficiency for which they are famous,
t Railway Matters.
The Times states that the Missouri Railroad Is
about to pass into the hands of new owners,
with M. X. Jessup at the head. The plan is to
bid the railroad off at a sale, to Uke place in
August, under the second mortgage, and thus
wipe out the third mortgage; the S,000,000
of stock and floating debt, which amounts to
t2,000,000 or 13,000,000 more.
If the scheme works well, the Illinois, Mis
souri and Kansas Association will, says the
Timet, purchase the road with 30,000,000 capi
tal, and paying a dividend upon that sum for
7,000,000 or t8,000,000, or little more than a
third of its real value.

New Hampshire Politics.
Cokcord, N. H., June 6. This city never
in Us political records presented such active
scenes as to-day. All the politicians of the
Stale are here engineering for the organization
of the Legislature to-morrow. All out 10 of
167 representatives are calculated upon, as the
Democratic party strength were present last
evening.
The Democrats are claiming the organization
of the House by ten majority, in which event
the Senate vacancies will not be filled until after
the convention for counting the Governor's vote,
as the Senate will not crganlze if the Democrats
are succefsfal. 1
G. W. N. Pittman (Democrat), of Brtlett,
will be elected President of the Senate, and W.
N. Gore (Labor Reform), of Weare, Speaker of
the House, and James P. Jackson, of Littleton,
cierk. Tbe headquarters ot the Democracy is
at tbe Eagle Hotel, and the Republican head
quarters at Rumford Hall; they present an active
appearance, and their members express them
selves confidently as to the result. Republican
Representatives Scott, of Keene, and Johnson,
of Pittsburg, are ill, not able to be present.
Tbe Republican cat41date for Speaker will
probably be Colonel William D. Patton, of
Kingston, with J. H. teuton, Jr., Clerk.
. W ell-informed politicians calculate on Wes
ton's election as Governor by a close vole, say
5. and Democrats say thny can elect him even
If the House is organized by the Republicans.
Republican members are not called upon to bo
present before this evening, but there is already
larger relative representation of members elect
present than has ever voted in the organization
of the Legislature.

Prison Cases.
Ctourl of Quartet Seetiont J udge AUison,
The trial of prison cases was began to-day.
Martin Bryan pleaded guilty to the char ef en
tering the residence oi Dr. it. II. Kline, with intent
to steal.
Drew Bayers pleaded guilty to the charge of beat
ing his wile, and George Read pleaded guilty to the
same charge.
lienjamia Mansfield, colored, was convicted of
stealing and committing an assault and battery
upon Policeman Gillespie. The evidence on tho
part of the prosecution was that on the isth of May,
about 4 o'clock in the morning, the officer found tho
prisoner, who was a porter at bhlppen street
market, with two sides of sole leather In bis eart.
and when the officer arrested him he resisted ; an4
that during that night a store at Socond and Ship
pen streets had been broken Into and this very
leather stolen.
The prisoner told a very consistent story In ex
planation of this, saving be had found the leather
In the street, but the sworn statements of the wlt
nesses against blm and the energetic argument of
the Asslsiaat District Attorney were too much for
his simple story, and the jury pronounced him
guilty.
Policeman William Baker was tried upon the
charge of assault and battery npon Timothy Congo,
colored. Mr. Bregy, representing tbe prosecution,
called a number of witnesses to prove that while
Congo was quietly driving bis cart down Green
street a maa named Mule Tamped into the vehiole
and put a living snake on his face, and then, when
ordered by Conge to desist, he Jumped out. Seeing
the ofllcer coming up he went to him, tapped him on
the shoulder, and appeared to hold a private conver
sation with him, alter which he returned to Congo
aid beat him.
Tbe policeman then arrested Congo, but npon the
remonstrance of tbe crowd let him go. Then he
followed him to the wharf where he was employed,
and tor what he called Impudence arrested blm and
took him before an alderman, where he preferred a
charge of breach of tbe peace against blm. Mr.
Ileverln, representing the defense, called witnesses
to prove that, after the disturbance, the otllcer
ordered Congo to take his cart eft" the crossing, and
upon bis refusing o do so arrested him.
Mr. Bregy, in summing up for the prosecution,
met this point by saving that the officer charged
Congo before the Alderman with a breach of tho
peace, and did not say a word about violation of tho
city ordinance, as be undoubtedly wonld have dono
bad not this been an after-thought. The jury ren
dered a verdict of guilty.
