T&e star Alliance opera annany. ' The Prince Napoleon, or the Fatal Field of Zululand, was played for the first time, in this city, 'at the Opera House last eve ningr by the Star Alliance Opera Company,' and exceedingly Well acted.- The piece is extremely clever, and affords scope for the creation of character parts limited only by the ability of the actors essaying them.. ' The Prince Napoleon was personated by Miss Alice Yane with becoming dash and. spirit, tempered IB V eertaia scenes with a tenderness and! gentleness that were exceed ingly touching. . Her . singing was delight- fui, and the duet with Barbara warmly en cored. John Templeton has woven a part for himself into the,4 play without: which the whole, were . incomplete.' As The Cracker his acting was mi aeneru: and alwsys highly " amusing, as the ap plause attested. Fay Templeton's appear ance asthe Crowa darkey from the Carolina, was a fine piece of character, dene ia a most natural manner,in our opinion the only fault being that her pleasing self was too en tireiy merged into the part, which is at the same time the highest praise we can bestow. Mr. W. M. Fuller made excellent use of his opportunities in the role of a Militia Gene ral, and scored a decided success. . His ability as a comedian is pronounced, and we are' ever glad to see and commend his efforts. Miss Mamie Johnston nlaved Bar bara Bonsuavity very sweetly and credita bly, and Mr. Selh M. Crane, as a Zulu Chief, was excellent. Miss Alice Vane, Fay Templeton and Mr. Crane were the recipients of hearty applause for several finely rendered songs, and the orchestra was the best that has been here in years. This afternoon a matinee performance of Pinafore will be given, at which time a rare chance will be given to see the opera splendidly performed by aeapable compa ny, and at low rates of admission. , For to-night, tbe last appearance of the company here, an exceedingly attractive bill is announced,- and one in which the troupe will undoubtedly appear to great advantage. Besides a comic operetta, en titled "Leva's Follies," and the burlesque opera, "Aimee," there will be songs and sketches by different members of the com pany, and we hope these will be the en couragement of a large audience . Arrest oi a maM. Robber. An important arrest was made by Majoi Chamberlain, of the U. 8. Postal Service, on Thursday last, of a mail robber on the route from Troy to Bosttck's Mills, in Montgomery county. One Eli Sanders, a mail rider on the route mentioned, was the party arrested, and his detection and cap ture will no doubt do much to restore con fidence ia the postal service in that section, which for more than two years past: has been completely upset by the numerous robberies which have occurred. After his arrest Sanders admitted his guilt and con fessed to having robbed the mails by wholesale for a long time past, showing the detective several places on the line of the route where he had concealed numerous letters and envelopes. Sanders was com mitted to jail, where he will remain until brought to trial before the United Stales Court. Wayne County A Deplorable Accl- deat Tne Cotton and Frn.lt Crops dec.

WHOLE 'NOTSei 0KSTHETCTIV8 FIRE.; , ( Cotton Com press and About Fifteen Hundred Bale er Cotton Destroyed Estimated Loss about $150,000.; Shortly after one o'clock this morning the alarm of fire Was given, and an investi gation quickly located the fire at the Wil mington Compress. The origin of the con flagration is unknown., The flimes are said first to have been seen issuing from a large wooden shed attached to the northern brick warehouse, on, the water side, and soon the entire ahed was in flames. W ith light ning rapidity they: extended north to the building containing tbe Taylor Press, engine &c., and it speedily succumbed. The Fire. Department got to, work, before the flames advanced farther, and though the fire is still raging in one end of the brick ware house, it will probably be pre vented from spreading. farther. Owing to the lateness of the hour and the excitement incident to the scene, we could gather but little information aBto the amount of cotton burned. ' It is estimated I that there were at least fifteen .hundred bales destroyed. The compress burned was a Taylor press, which wo believe cost $60,000 about a year ago. It had been working splendidly since the com mencement of the season, and while its loss is serious the . com pany's other . press, which appeared per fectly safe.when our reporter left, will en able them to continue work as usual. The press, the building aud the cotton are believed to be fully insured. To-Day'e Indications.
