Unknown.
Ihe play of "Unknown," which is to be
performed in this city on Wednesday eve
ning by Mr. John A. Stevens, Is said to
be a very fine thing. He is well spoken
of wherever he has been. , The Company
carries three sets of scenery, one of which

scene a walking beam engine passes for
ward and backward with its machinery
at work. Another showing the Merri
brlghta'tomb In Greenwood Cemetery,
and the third the scenery of Rover's Park
in New York. 1 Of this troupe the Buffalo
Courier says : ( ,
"The new drama entitled "Unknown
by Mr. John A. Stevens, who sustains(the
principal role was prodaced at the Acad
emy of Music last evening, and, although
but little was known of The Unknown,'
the audience was of goodly proportion
and the play made a tremendous 'hit s
The play is a capital specimen of the
melO"drama the best 1 we have teen in a
long time, and in its construction, l(r.
Stevens has displayed much ingenuity,
unmistakable literary ability, and a wide
and accurate knowledge of stage business
Tbe dialogue is clean, crisp and epigram
matic; the wit is incisive and telling; the
humor is infectious; tbe situations are all
effective and his mora stirring climaxes
are of such a character as bring down the
house la tbundervua appUusa.

Fire at WhltcYille
From Col. John W. Gordon, of the firm
of J. W.Gordon & Bro., insurance agents
in this city, we learn that a fire occurred
at Whiteville, Columbus county, on the
W. C. & A. R. R. about 2 o'clock this
morning, which consumed the store and
stock of Mr. C. D. Baldwin, together with
a building in the rear occupied as a bar
room by Mr. kins. "The store of Col.
T. B. Memory, next door to Mr. Baldwin,
was at one time in great danger, but by
the greatest efforts and exertions on the
part of the citizens was saved from de
gtructioD. The building occupied by
Mr. Baldwin as a store was insured in the
Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany for $1,000 and the stock of goods
to the value of $2 500 in the Liverpool,
London and Globe Insurance Company;
both of which companies are represented
by Messrs. J. W Gordon & Bro. as
agents. '
The origin of the fire is unknown j but
it is thought to be the work of an incen
diary as the persons who broke open the
store after the alarm was sounded, dicov
ered goods scattered all over the floor, as
though the store had been first robbed and
pilaged and afterwards set on fire. I
We are not informed as to whether Mr.
Elkins was insured or not ; ihe above
being all the information that we can ob
tain at this present writing.
General Hood's Children.
We have received a photograph of the
family "of orphans left by the gallant
General Hood, who recently died of yel
low fever in New Orleans. It is a charm
ing picture of a group of ten lovely chil
dren whose orphanage makes tenderly
pathetic appeal to the heart of every true j
hearted son and daughter of the South, for
whom their lamented father fought so
noblv and so well. There are tea chil-
dren in the group, the youngest an In
fantin the cradle, made motherless a few
days after its birth, and the two eldest
(twins) not yet in their teens.
The photograph is from the studio of
T. Lilienthal, of New Orleans, who has
donated 200 of them to be disposed of for
the benefit of the children, as the follow
ing correspondence, which we clip from
the New Orleans Democrat, will show:
