THE WORK OF FIRE FIENDS Attempted to Burn Alive a Tene ment Foil of People PRESIDENT M'KINLEY RETURNS A Half Dozen People Began the Pro ceedings Without Prayer as the Chaplain Was Absent. By Wire to Thk Tklbgham. Brooklyn, Jan. 28 Fire bugs placed a barrel of paper saturated with ker osene in the hall of a big double ten ement a No. 9 Norstrand avenue this morning and touched a match to the barrel after having firmly tied the door on the outside. The tenement is occupied by about forty families. One of the tenants who was starting to work discovered the fire before it had gain ed much headway and at once gave the alarm. The occupants rushed to the roof in their night garments and crossed over to the adjoining building. The flames were extinguished and only the ground floors were damaged. An investiga tion will be made. A SLIM BEGINNING. Washington, Jan. 28 There were but a half dozen senators present at the usual hour of meeting this morning. In the absence of the chaplain the pro ceedings began without the customary prayer. The Teller resolution will be taken up immediately. Stewart of Nevada began the last day's debate on the resolution. M'KINLEY RETURNS. New York, Jan. 28 President Mc Kinley, J.

By wire to Thk Telegram. Washington, Jan. 28 General Lee informed the state department that the shipments to the United States of filler tobacco from which the Embargo was recently removed is being made. In the Senate Pettigrew introduced a resolution reciting that it is "con trary to the interest, policy tradition of the people of the United States to acquire any territory so situated as to require the protection of the navy." The resolution went over. Andrews Writes a Letter. The Telegram is in receipt of a let ter from W. R. Andrews, whose daugh ter recently married against his wish es one Mr. Parker. Mr. Andrews thinks some injustice was done him in these columns. His letter came too late for publication and the correction only can be made that Mr. Andrews' daughter remains at home of her own accord; that she refuses to live with her husband, though no force is used to prevent her, and that she has never lived with him at any time. World on Sherwood. Mr. Wm. Sherwood was enthusiast ically received, and, after an admira ble performance, rose from the piano, leaving a generally felt regret that a pianist of his caliber does not more often appear in New York to leaven the huge lump of technicians and pia no players by trade. His touch is subtle and magnetic, his style perfect ly finished and brilliant. He was in evidently congenial company with the romantic Schumann, and his work will not soon be forgotten. New York World. Strikers Loose. By Cable to Thb Telegram. London, Jan. 28. Today's meeting of delegates representing master's men in the engineers' strike sealed the vic tory of the employers. The result of the conference will be a general re sumption of work in the engineering trade next Monday. C. R. Falls, the "great big over grown giant" of a blacksmith of Kine's Mountain, put on 16 muleshoes one day last week in 75 minutes and says he can do still better if any one else can do as well. "CHERRY LAST NIGHT. Played to a Large Audience A Big Success Scored. The charming littledramajCherry" about which so much has been said in the local papers of late was played at the Academy of Music to a good house last night. . Music for the occasion was furnished by the Brockmahn orchestra and good music it was, too. From the time the curtain went up on the first act the interest ran high. The arrangement was so perfect that little time was lost between the acts. The story of "Cherry" is an interest one and the scenes and incidents con nected with her love affair with Ru dolph Dean, the millionaire's son, some of them sad in the extreme, were so vividly portrayed and naturally put on that scores of eyes in the audi ence were wet with'tears. The murder of Rudolph Dean, and the arrest and conviction of Mark Goodwin for the crime, the tramp's confession and the vindication of Mark, formed an intensely interesting part of the play. The arrest of Mark, by Officers Jordan and Scott, the in terference of Uncle Bob, the rich Mexican ranch owner, and the scene between Mark and his wife was admi rably played. The scene in which the Eagle Hose company boys appeared in full uni form, the fire alarm, the Allen House on fire, prompt response of the fire men and the rescue of the tramp from the basement by Charlie Hilton, was all wonderfully well carried out. Throughout the drama the parts were well handled, and it would, perhaps, be unjust to particularize. When it is considered that all were amateurs, too much cannot be said in praise of the entire company. Miss Brown, as "Cherry," was the star of the evening. Miss Wolfe, as the wife of Mark Goodwin, was per fectly at home in the play, while Miss Crocker, as the rich widow and mother of Rudolph Dean, performed well her difficult role. Mr. B. S. Phillips as Uncle Bob, and Miss Susie Stone, as Flossie Maxwell, his daughter, were the favorites of the evening. Mr. C. M. Elam, as Billy Oliver, the bicycle sport in love with Flossie and( Dr. J. T. Johnson, as Charlie Hilton, the love-sick young man and later the brave fireman who finally wins Cherry, deserve special mention. Mr. A. B. High, as Rudolph Dean, carried on an enraptured courtship with Cherry, was opposed bitterly by Mark Goodwin, Cherry's father, pre pared to elope, but was killed early in the play and was left out of the most exciting part of the performance. Mr. Rosenblatt, as Mark Goodwin, was a good character, and Mr. W. H. Rees, as Jo Black, the tramp, held close attention while acting his part. Between the acts, Miss Carrie Smith, of Summerfield, entertained the audi ence with several solos, which were greatly enjoyed and heartily encored. At the clo'se of the performance, a genuine Southern cake walk was given which made a "big hit." The were three prizes offered: A handsome cake, a box of candy, and a pumpkin. The first was for the most unique and orig inal costumes, won by Mr. John Stewart and Mrs. Dolly Hayden. Ttie second, for the most graceful walking, won by Mr. B. S. Phillips and Miss Maude Ward; and the third, for the most ridiculous appearance, won by Mr. Sam Ingram. The prizes were presented in an appropriate speech by Mr. Zeb. V. Taylor. The Telegram rises now to make a motion that the drama "Cherry" be repeated at an early day. Do we get a second? The Veteran Corps Band. The concert given by this excellent organization, under the auspices of Petersburg Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy, at the Academy, last evening, proved one of the most enjoy able musical events of the season. The delightful programme consisted chiefly of popular selections and ad mirable renditions by the soloists of the Band, and fully merited the vigor ous encores and applause which each number was accorded. On the whole, the concert was one of the best heard in this city since that of the justly cel ebrated "March King," whose popular composition, "El Capitan," concluded the charming programme of the even ing. The Daily Index and Appeal, Petersburg, Va., Dec. 14, 1897. At the Academy of Music Friday night, Feb. 4th. . Mrs. Margaret Smith, mother of Mrs. Sandy Smith of Concord, will, on the 27th of October be 102 years of age. She enjoys remarkbly good health. She is the oldest living per son in Cabarrus county.

And Other Matter of Interest From The Twin-City. Special to Thb Telegram. Winston, Jan. 28. The midwinter concert the musical event of the winter occurred here last night in the Acad emy chapel. The hall was crowded. as it always is at these events. The programme was highly interesting, consisting of solos, duos, recitations, piano solos by . the; students of the 4 Academy and all. te members were enthusiastically received by the friends of the Academy present.

NOTES FROM HIGH POINT. ' The Local News from Our Neighbor '. Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau, ) High Point, N. C, Jan. 28, '98. f The scholars of the ninth grade have presented handsome portraits,' finely framed, of Horace Mann, John H. Pestalozzi, Fredrick Trouble, George Washington, and Alfred Tennyson to the graded school. This makes the class room very attractive and it is hoped it will prove an inspiration to the students. Capt. W. H. Snow, "the father of High Point," has also presented a handsome portrait of him self. The school is more than filling expectations, and Prof. George H. Crowell deserves the highest praise for his untiring efforts. Owing to an attack of lagrippe Dr. Mclver was unable to lecture before the graded school last night.

Rescuer Deserted by Game Warden Whose Life he Saved. Bellefontefc Pa., Jan. 26. A. G. Barker, who lives in the Alleghany mountains, several miles north of Cato, a day or two ago had a thrilling encounter with a buck. Mr. Barker was traveling an old road through the forest of the Spruce Run Game Preserve, when he was startled by a bellowing and cries for help. Hastening4n the directin whence the cries proceeded he came upon a monster buck pawing and prodding with its widespread antlers at a man lying prone upon upon the ground. Securing a good club, Mr. Barker rushed to the rescue, striking the animal a terrific blow in the hope of driving it away. The buck lunged at him, giving the man on the ground an opportunity rise. The latter, who proved to be one of the wardens of the preserve, was not seriously hurt, and resolved to miss no chances, ran for his life, leaving Barker to fight it out alone with the enraged buck. As the deer sprang at him he grab bed its antlers, on which he maintain ed a firm hold, while the buck swung him in the air with a very angry toss of its head. While performing these evolutions Barker was thrown fully 20 feet, lodg ing against a rock. The buck rushed at him as he rose bruised and bleed ing, but by this time Barker succeeded in opening his penknife and by jab bing the animal about the nose caused it to abandon the attack. Baker's clothes were torn to shreds', and he was painfully hurt, but no bones were broken, and he was able to make his way home alone. An Excellent Performance. The following from the Lynchburg, Va., News of Jan 12, refers to the Lil lian Tucker Company j which opens an engagement of five nights and Sat urday matinee at the Academy of Music Monday Jan. 31st. A large audience was at the opera house last evening to witness the opening performance of the Lillian Tucker Company, and it is very safe to say that there was not a person present who did not derive a great deal of pleasure from the evening's entertainment. "La Belle Marie," the play of the evening, was a- bright interesting attraction, with just that blending of the serious and the gay that ninety-nine audiences out of a hundred enjoy- Of Miss Lillian Tuck er and her support, much has been said and .written, and the fine repu tation that preceded the company to Lynchburg was fully justified by last night's performance.
