Last night the Wilbur-Kirwin Opera company presented the amus ing comic opera, Girefle-Girolla. Oae of the most striking features of the opera last evening was the chorus singing. Miss Kirwin's part was rendered with her usual grace and Girofle and GirclU could scarcely have been better personi (ied. Harvey is always good, and lust night he was even better than usual in the role of Don Bolero, a Spanish nobleman and father of the twin sisters. Charles Ferguson, as the son of Marasijuin and company, and betrothed to Girdle, and C A fuller, as Mourzuik, betrothed to Girolla, and Will Kilwanger, as Pedro, were at th ir very best. Among the many especially pleas ing features were the song of the pirates, the choruses, the costumes, which were perhaps the most beau tiful of those seen any night this week, and the living pictures, almost a I of these being ei.ti'.'elv new. Tonight Fra Diavolo will be pre sented, and the company should be greeted by a full house. This opera gives Miss Kirwin, Harvey and others a full opportunity to display their matchless power as entertains ers, and the choruses and costumes wiil be a spcial feature. A MIRAITLOI'S ESCAPE. The city Threatened with Oestrnetion bv Fire Last NiKht. If the people of Fayetteville ever had reason to be devoutly thankful, it is now. They should certainly than k Heaven, for I he mi raele of t heir iving homes to shelter them today. When it was learmd thattheCum- berland Cooperage Works were iu me-, the excitement became, ins t' use, and tht hole population soon tilled the streets, hurrying to the scene. Many, however, were forced to return and work to save their own property. The Cooperage Works ure situated near the C F it Y V de pot, surrounded hy a number of wooden buildings. The wind was b'owing direct ly across t lie business portion of the city, gathering u great sparks, vou might say faggots of fire, and hurling them through the air, dropping thousands in i very part of the town, and carrying other thousands miles distint For an hour the whole Heav ens were ob scured by these brilliant particles. Bui id i n gs every w here caught ali re, as did also numerous trees, lumber piles, etc. It is with devout thankfulness. that we record only the destruction of the Cooperage Works ami a small dwelling al j lining 1 he works are owned by Col W. S.Cook and Mr. L.J. Brandt, and were valued at $ 1 ,51 0 wit n $ 1 .000 iusurance. Who the kicker Is? The report circulated about the city anent dissatisfaction with tie rules which regulate the conduct f the inmates of the soldiers' Ik me originated, with a professional kick.-r. This is just what one ho knows the managers wou'd supp .se. Everv one is aware that Mr WC Slronach and Col A II Aidrews would not have allowed regulatii ns enforced which would w rk a net d less hardship on the veterans,. The man who started tne report, that the iYnnates were indignant be cause they were not allowed to have camp whenever they pleased and had to get permission before doing so, is said to be A P. Browning of Salisbury. It is said further that he has given -trouble at the home and was suspended once for imbib ing freely while up town. There are not a half dozen men in the home who object to the regu'ations. Coi J S Carr is in the city. J M Moore of Lenoir is- in the city. Miss Nannie Clarke, of Tarboro, is visiting MissElizt Busbee. Mr W S Primrose has gone to Henderson on business. Mrs W N FI Smith and Miss Sadie Bilhue have returned from Southern Pines. Rev John Dinwiddie, who has bsen visiting his brother President James Dinwiddie, left for Georgia today. ! Kuth Lodge No. 4 Meets Tonight.

The commission met at 10 o'clock, all the members being present. It was an important session and many spectators weie present. All ti e witnesses whom Dr Abbott had summoned were on hand but they never hail an opportunity to testify for immediately after Chairman Caldwell called the hoaid to Commissioner Pearson i tl.-n order I the following resolution: I "That the following witnesses. !

This was passed Dr Abbott vo ing against it The chairman stated that the wit ness. -s had not been summoned by resol ulion.

Without giving any rea son ooih of the commissioners voted against Dr. Abiiot 's resolution. Some warm words passed between Dr Abbott and the Governor s com missioners.

Mr liorden for the fertiliz T com panies appeared before the ihe coin mission and asked that the s..ine rale on fertilizers be made iu this state that exists in South Carolina, this being still lower than the re duced rate in this s'ale would be. Thecommission appointt d Messrs Emerson, Glover, Culp and Borden a committee tn examine and rep irt to the commission their recommen dation for a state rate from which the lti.i reduction can be made. The commission then proceeded to discuss the com rate. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, and Mr Clarence Young are here in the interest of the Southern Bell Tele phone company and will probably present the exceptions t f that com pany this afternoon to the order of thecommission reducing telephone rentals iq the state. The Southern Express Company will also probably be asked to show this afternoon a list of dead head express shipped Governor Russell and Ex Governor Carr. Mr. W.J.
