OPERA HOUSE.
" a Pair Bebel " to be Presented To-morrow
Bight.
There has never been written a more
successful war drama than "A Fair Re
bel," which will be produced at the
Opera House to-morrow night. It re
ceived its initial production at the Four
teenth Street Theatre. New York, last
season, and was a complete success. The
scene of the play is laid in the Shenan
doah Valley, and the plot deafs princi
pally in the escape from the celebrated
Libbv Prison of Col. Thomas E. Rose.
This scene is worked so realistically with
a revolving set that one can imagine
himsell on the scene of action, and a feel
ing of desire to help the officer's escape
takes possession of the audience. Read
ine of historical events gives a person a
good idea of what occurs during an en
gagement, but to see such things per
fectlv Dortsayed as in "A Fair Rebel '
impresses them indelibly on one's mind.
The excitement is relieved by a very
orettv story (interspersed with comedy)
which runs through the play. The cast,
scenery and effects will be exactly the
same as in its first production.
Box sheet open this morning. :

FIRE IN THE COUNTRY.
A Sara on the Potter Plantation Burned
with All Its Content Supposed to be
the Work of Tramp.
A large barn on a plantation about
four miles north of Wilmington belong
ing to the estate of the late W. S. Pot
tctand rented by Mr. T. P. Sikes of this
city, was destroyed by fire last Saturday
evening between six and seven o'clock,
together with its contents, consisting of
10.500 pounds of seed cotton, about a
car-load of dog-tongue, a car-load of
medicinal roots and herbs, a lot of plan- '
tation tools, and about $200 worth of dry
forage; all the property of Mr. Sikes,
valued at upwards of $2,000, and insured
for $1,000 with Mr. I. H. Boatwright.
The barn was a large frame structure,
two stories, and about sixty by eighty
feet in dimensions. It is said tobave
been insured, but the amount of the in
surance could not be ascertained.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of tramps. Last Thursday, Mr.
Sikes, on visiting the ! place, found one
of the doors of the barn broken open,
but nothing in the building bad been
disturbed, except that there were evi
dences that some persons had been
sleeping in the hay on the uppsr floor.
The door was uade secure but on Satur
day morning last Mr. Sikes found that,
it had again been broken open, and it
was then nailed up. ' '
Several white men, supposed to be
tramps., have been seen on the place in
the last few days, and last Friday three
strange negroes thought to be escaped
convicts, visited the plantation. : They
told the colored people living on the
place that they were : turpentine hands
on the way to Georgia. j

MUSICALS.
A Pleasant Entertainment Given at the
-
Parish House of St. James' Church.
The Parish house of St. James' Church
was crowded last night, the occasion be
ing a Musical for the Sanctuary Guild
of this church.
The MusicaU opened with a violin solo
by Miss Mae Southerland. Mr. Ed. Mun
son being the piano accompanyist. This
was greeted with great applause and the
audience were not satisfied until Miss
Southerland responded to an encore.
Number two was a solo by Mr. A. S.
Holden. who never appeared . to better
advantage. ,
The duet by Mrs. W. G. Elliott and
Miss Kenan was all that one could de
sire and received every manifestation of
delight from the enraptured audience. .
Miss Lola Martin gave -a recitation
which was warmly applauded and re
flected great credit on this young lady.
The whistling solo by Mr. W. G.
Elliott, Jr., was a source of great pleas
ure to his hearers and it was with great
difficulty that the small boys in the
audience could be quieted, so loud were
they in their demonstrations of delight,
Mrs. Elliott sang a most delightful
solo entitled "Charlie Macree," and
demonstrated to the audience the won-
i ......
derful, range and sweetness of her voice.
The impressive way in which it was sung
provoked the greatest enthusiasm from
the audience, and she was generously
applauded and recalled.
: Messrs. Myers, Elliott, Boatwright and
Latimer, in the "Tinker's Song," cover
ed themselves with glory, and received
several recalls.
' The piano, solo by Miss' Gabriel
DeRosset was much enjoyed by all, and
she showed wonderful skill in the execu
tion of her most difficult piece.
The solo "Romeo and Juliet," by Miss
Mary Bridgers, was one of the most en
joyable features of the evening.
The recitation bv Miss Addie Meares.
"Virginius," was beautifully rendered,
and added a fresh laurel to her reputa-
. ' i t a
nun as an accompusueu elocutionist.
Une ot the most delightful parts of
the entertainment was the rendering of
the "Churning'' song, from the opera of
"Robin Hood," by Mrs. Elliott and
Misses Kenan and Bridgers.
Miss Kenan, whose delightful voice
has so often charmed the lovers' of good
music in our midst, sang the song of the
"Daisy" with beautiful effect, and in
response to an encore sang the ' "Good
night" serenade
The closing number was a quartette
Mrs. Elliott and Miss Kenan and Messrs.
Holden and'Emerson. and was a fitting
close to one ot the most delightful con
certs to which our people. have been
treated in a long time. . '
