SonucntfaU, the Boston Ideals wd Funny Davenport all In Mow lorlu N*w York, March 10.—Mr. Henry bring began his farewell series to this city at the Star theatre last night. It was a magnificent house. Irving and Mia Terry ware rapturously received; they were called oat at the end ot each act, and at the end of the second and third acts wore called before the curtain. Ail of Mr. Irvtog's fine "points" were fully appreciated and promptly applauded. There were three very beautiful scenes set on the stage. The fullest tribute was paid to Mr. Irving, his excellent company and his admirable stage management. The Boston Ideal Opera company began at the Fifth Avenue theatre last evening what is announced as a farewell engagement. The opera was Lecocq'i tuneful opera bouffe •'Girofle-Girofia." This work has been heard here before in English, while the Fx-euch original long ago ceased to have any novelty. The music of the work is among the best to be found to the whole field of opera bouffe. It is bright, melodious and graceful at all times, while much of it has noticeable strength. The duets and concerted numbers are well suited to the display of good singing, and this is a feature that makes the opera excellent for the purposes of the Ideal oompany. The singing last evening was as far above the customary level of comic opera as the acting was above it. The rendering of the quartet and chorus at the end of the first act was almost worthy of grand opera, and the work of the male chorus throughout was remarkably strong and sonorous. Rashly Importunate She Goes to ller Death. \ CONVULSION OF NATURE WHICH tempted liy l'eiinHflnnU Miner*. I 8URPRI8E0 AT THE NUMBER OF HIS RE.-ATIVES. PLACE HUNTERS THRONGING THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS. N*w Havxn, March 10.—Last Friday night Almeda E. Pulciper, a young iady 26 years of age, went to the Wilbur house in Seymour and asked the proprietor's wife for a room for the night. Ste wa* shown to one, and when the attendant was leaving the room the young woman requested lliat she be not disturbed should she oversleep in the morning. Nothing was thought of her until 10 or 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, when she complained of feeling unwell. At 5 o'clock to the afternoon she ate a little bread and tea and said she would endeavor to get some rest. Mrs. Wilbur, wife of the hotel proprietor, later went again to the woman's room and found her lying on tho outside of the bed fully dressed and to a partially unconscious state. Upon Arousing her the woman again complained of her head feeling bad. Mrs. Wilbur assisted in disrobing her, and asked her if she had a nightdress. Tho stranger replied that sho had one to her satchel. Mrs. Wilbur opened the latter and found an ounce vial of laudanum, bearing the inscription of an Ansonia ding store. CAUSES MUCH ALARM. PnrrBBCSO, March 10.—The most extensive movement ever attempted by the miners of Western Pennsylvania was partially begun here, and if tlio dictates of the recent oonventiops are obeyed by tho workmen 110 leas than 10,000 miners will soon be on a general strike. Late lost evening tha news from tho mines was that a majority of them were out, and that by to-day all, or most of them, will have joined hands in their fight for 3 cents a bushel. The officers of the Miners' association have been working diligeiMy and successfully in getting out many of the reluctant miners. Along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the Youghiogheny river the men are all out. In the first pool but two mines are running, and in the fourth pool, which has always been considered the miners' weakest point, the miners went out to a man, with the eiceptioif of those in two small pits of but little consequence. Ii»the second and thirl pools only three mines are reported running. Risher's mine in the former has given in and agreed to pay 8 ccuts for coal shipped by rail. bo Secretaries Kefularly Besieged by Applicants—Special Attacks Directed on the Post Office Department—The President and the " Boomers."

Washington, March 10.—The crowd about the capitol has very materially diminished, compared with that of any other day during the past two weeks. The hall of the house of representatives is almost deserted; business to the senate committee rooms has been closed up, preparatory to a reorganization. The Republican and Democratic caucus commlttesgmet and a number of propositions for a reorganization of the committees were advanced, but none of them adopted. Other meetings will be held and reports made to the full caucus within a few days. It is now believed that the scheme of reorganization will not be reported from both parties Until near the close of the special suasion ot the senate. Lancaster, Pa., March 10.—A convulrion of nature, now believed to have been an earthquake, occuired in this city and country at out 8 o'clock Sunday evening, the magnitude of which was not fully realised at the time. At the Moravian church a loud, reverberating noise was heard, accompanied with a very perceptible vibration of the enrth, and many of the worshippers wyro not a little alarmed. Tlj» sound and sensation parsing away in a few secends, little more was thought of the occurrence until yesterday morning, when people began comparing notei. George Nauman, a prominent member of the bar, living in the extreme eastern part of the city, heard the noise distinctly, and it sounded to him like thunder, while Jacob Bausman, president of the Farmers' National bank, living in the western part of the city, heard the noise and felt the Hhock just as distinctly, attributing it to the falling of coal in his cellar. Joseph C. Snyder, living in the northern part of the •ity, ran out of the house, thinking a neighboring stable had fallen. Bernard Mettain, nn West Chestnut a terrible :"atiling among his diSnes and also felt the .shock. Going into liis kitchen he found some of his dishes broken Sy the concussion. Mr. Rife, messenger at thV~$3cst National bank, was in the building at the time of the visitor tion, and expected to see all the large French plate glass shattered by the terrible shock. The large glass rattled like small window panos in a dilapidated building, although the structure has an iron front and is one of the mo6t substantial in the city. New York, March 10.—The Bun has the following from W ashington: President Cleveland's home life 4bd surroundings, his habits, liia friends, his family and the social atmosphere of the White House for tho coining four years are more talked about in Washington than questions of state and politics. The fact that the White House cook has had strict orders to serve breakfast at 8 o'clock.gad that the president expects every member of the household to sit down with him promptly at that hour is the first change that is noted with interest. This change was made by the express order of Mr. Cleveland himself, and indicates, an observing woman says, that he is master of his own house, and will have the deciding vote on the question of wine on tbe White House table when it comes to that. J. E. Patterson tc Co.

When you cannot find what you want at any other plaoe in Pittaton, go there. declt-U President Costollo has been in the fourth pool all day, and together with the committee from the other pools has been concentrating all his powers of persuasion to bring every man out. A mass meeting will be held, which will be addressed by Costello and others. President Costello is confident that the strike will be a succesR, and that the operators will pay the price demanded within the next ten days, 'lhe operators are regarding the strike with indifference, and say they will not pay the price demanded, and that the strike will be especially hard with the miners, as at present one half of them tiro nearly starving and tho rest but little hotter off. The prospects are that another long and bitter strike has begun.  Mrs. Wilbur asked wfcat the woman used the drug for, and was told it was to rub on her head. Becoming suspicious the landlady put fur&er questions, with the result that the woman admitted that in the afternoon she bad drunk the contents of the vial. A physician was summoned, but ho could do nothing to help the woman, and the medical examiner was sent for. All available means to save the suicide's life were used without success, and she died about 0 o'clock Sunday morning in great agony. Among thC3 woman's effects was found a letter addressed to William G. Douglass, written in a very pathetic strain, upbraiding him for his desertion of her, and it is supposed that on this account she took her life. Bow to .Buy or Bant Baal Batata.

It was a matter of surprise to the majority of society people here to find that Mr. Cleveland's immediate family was so numerous. Thi popular impression was that he was a bachelor, with a maiden sister, who was to be mistress of the White House, and that he had few kindred. On the contrary, society finds a large and robust American family at the White House on the opening week of the Administration, and is making many inquiries as to the trait* and characteristics at the members. Most of the state delegations of congressmen have held meetings for the purpose of agreeing upon plans for the disposal of Federal offices within their jurisdiction, but thus far have been informed by the president that such means are not feasible, because they contemplate disregard of civil service laws, by taking possession of offices before the expiration of the terms of office o' present incumbents. |RP*|| j|j | I At the Grand Open house Miss Fanny Davenport last night commenced an engagement in her grand creation of "Fedora." She repeated the success made in previous engagements in this city. Her audience was large and fashionable. Perhaps a more unostentatious yet self-respectful family circle mre new seen around a president than the brother and sisters who came to look upon Orover Cleveland's inauguration. Mrs. Cleveland, his mother, was left • widow wfoh nine children and lived to see them (rowing Into substantial usefulness. She died in the homestead at Holland Patent, near TJ»ca, and Ltaie, the daughter, who is to preside in the White House, has purchased this home, for the sake of its memories, with her savings as a lecturer to classes of young ladies. Office seekers and their friends made a rash upon the newly elected heads of departments, and most all the new secretaries were in a state of siege. But little satisfaction was obtained beyond courteous recognition, fontmaster General Vilas said to some of his visitors that no doubt Mr. Cleveland would hold the cabinet responsible for their every act, but would have nothing to do with the offices.

Methodist Ministers Appoint March 15 for 8nflTerlngg of the Contestants In tlie Great Chicago, March 10.—At a conference of Methodist ministers of Chicago and vicinity the following resolutions were, on motion of Rev. Frank M. Bristol, of Trinity Methodist church, and, after several earnest speeches, adopted unanimously, by a rising vote: tliitt Purpose. Nkw York, March 10.—Most of the contestant* in the six day roller skating match at the Madison Square Garden rink paid dear for their experience. Donovan, the 18-yearold lad from Elmira, who won the first prize, is completely broken up physically, and has been out of bed only for an hour since the contest ended. His feet were in such a condition when he left the track that his stockings could not be removed. The sight of his right foot and leg made the trainer sick. A hole has been worn in the hollow of tho foot and it lias festered and inflamed. The sore extended away up the leg to the knee, and was constantly running. So deep was the furrow that one could almost see the shinbone through it. Donovan wore colored stockings the first three days he was on the track, and his doctors say that they have poisoned his system. ltollor Situ ting Match. Hundreds of people scattered all over the city had cxporienras similar in some respect or other to those related. That more of the people did not hear and feel it is probably accounted for from the fact that thousands of thom were assembled in churches whose services consisted of singing at that particular hour, those who were in churches where preaching and praying were occuring at the time having heard and felt it distinctly. In the rural district, particularly south of Lancaster, the shock was most distinctly heard and felt, and farmers ran to their doors, thinking it was thunder, only to see a bright, starry night. Rev. A. B. Shenkle, one of the beat-known divines in the country, was preaching in the Reformed Church on Willow street, and so great was the noise' and so strong the shock that he paused in the service, while his congregation sat awestricken. E. K. Stettler, justice of the peace, living not far from the church, saw the stove-plates dance on his cook-stove from the vibration and expected to see them hurled to the floor by the shock. H. E. Stagmaker, Lancaster's leading wine merchant, describes the sound to have been like that of two loco motives running in violent collision and then grinding to atoms. • The presence of four such notable stars in the dramatic world in the metropolis at one time is an almost unprecedented event; The postmaster general was early at the department, but even then he f ouqd a large number of callers awaiting him. He was engaged in receiving callers until late in the afternoon. Among those who paid their respects were Gens. Hancock and Sheridan. All the post office department bureau officers have tendered their resignations, to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of their successors. The mail at the post office department was unusually large, and it contained more than 1,000 applications for appointment as postmaster. The eldest of the children, Anna, married Mr. Hastings, who became a missionary of the American board, and has for many years resided at his post in Ceylon. Two of their children are there with them. The remaining two, a son and a daughter, are in this -country. The daughter is a teacher in a young ladies' school, at Clinton, New York, where Miss Cleveland formerly taught. The Rev. William Peal Cleveland #as graduated at Hamilton college, and is now perhaps 85 years old. He has charge of a Presbyterian church at Forestport, Oneida county. - Those who have known him long say that he is a man of excellent spirit and Judgment and would be capable of filling a mufi wider pulpit sphere, except for a slight impediment in his speech, which limits him to a small auditorium. His wife, as Miss Thomas, was at one time a favorite soprano In a church choir in New York city, but was • widow with one son when she married Mr. Cleveland. This son and one by her present marriage hold positions of trust in two business Anns of Cleveland, Ohio.

Lew Wallace and family, publishes the following editorial: Former's Criticism. Resolved, That we do hereby express our heartfelt sympathy for the distinguished sufferer and set apart Sunday, March 15, as a day of special prayer in our churches for his physical and spiritual wall-beingy that he may be spared in God's good providence long to enjoy the high honors which his genius and patriotism have won on fields of battle and in halls of state; and, Gen. Lew Wallace, now our minister to Turkey, feels keenly the criticism of himself made by Gen. Grant in his article on the battle of Shiloh in the February Century, and will upon upon his return home, which will be in a very short time, prepare and publish in The Century an article in which he will give a fall and perfect history of the movements of nla division throughout the two days of battle. It will be thorough and exhaustive. Gen. Grant seemed to have forgotten when he wrote The Century article that he ever gave Gen. Wallace exoneration which covered the points be recently made against him. He forgot another peculiarly interesting and pertinent incident. After the battle of Monocacy be was full of gratitude. In saving Washington Gen. Wallace had, in a large measure saved Grant's fnilitary reputation, and, in tacit acknowledgment, he invited Gen. Wallace to spend a couple of weeks with him at City Point. the general aooepted the Invitation. One day at the dinner table some officers were discussing the battle of Shiloh. Gens. Grant and Wallace both listened attentively. At length Grant turned to Wallace, who sat at bis right, aild said in a low voice: "If I bad known then what I know now I would have ordered you to move as you started for the field." This incident has never been mentioned outside of the general's own family, because it was table talk and might have beqp considered as confidential, but the general's friends now feel that The Century article relieves both the general and themselves from restraint. ' At the interior department the of visitors was not so great and the mail was but little larger than OfliaL The several commissioners and heaf ** bureaus tendered their resignations, which are all held by Secretary Lamar under advisement, excepting that of Assistant Attorney General McCammon, who has been invited by Secretary Lamar to remain. It is understood that Mr. McCammon has accepted the invitation. The lad has become deadly pale since he quit the race. The pupils of his eyes are abnormally large, and his cheeks and the sides of bis neck are terribly shrunken. Maddox, who won fourth prize, is not much better off physically, and mu«h worse financially than Donovan. His backer has captured the $100 he won and intends to keep all but $10. It will cost Maddox $6 to get to his home, unite will therefore have but $4 for skating 1,000 miles. Resolved, That we hereby extend to all churches of the city, state and country the invitation to unite in this prayer for him, whom we delight to honor. After the adoption of this resolution it was specially signed by the following clergymen, many of whom ore intimately acquainted with DGen. Grant: Dr. Luke Hitchcock; Dr. R. M. Baing, Dr. R. N. Hatfield, Dr. John Williamson, Dr. N. H. Axtell and Rev. F. M. Bristol. Carton's PateRt Gas-tight Hot Air Furnace. The White House was again thronged with callers throughout the day. At half past one the president expressed his willingness to see the visitors who merely wished to pay respects, and two hours were devoted to handshaking. The greater part of the day was spent in receiving congressional delegations from southern and western states accompanied by constituents desirous of paying their respects. The representative* of the Oklahoma boomers in Washington are pressing the of the settlers at the interior department and White House. The president devoted an hour to the consideration of the Oklahoma question and it is understood that he will neither withdraw the troops nor issue any orders until he has considered the subject thoroughly. Lees than a year ago a shock was felt here, though far less perceptible than this, and our. scientists hold to a theory originated many years ago, and still believed in, that Lancaster is built over an immense cave or subterranean lake, the inlets to which, if there are any, have never been explored, and that the noise and vibration arose from the fd8ing*tof great masses of earth and rock from the roof of the cave and rolling and rattling into the great gulf below. It was resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family. Mr*. Naval B. Bacon, wife of an architect residing in Toledo, is the sister who most resembles the president of any of the trio here last week. Ml*.

Two brothers, who were lost at sea on a voyage to Cuba, complete the original group. It is a good averegd American family, but with more than average intelligence and pioty, leaning strongly toward the Presbyterian faith. Miss Cleveland has brought with bar a substantial northern girl as maid. The president has the nonpareil of valets in William Sinclair, whom he took from Buffalo to Albany. A near friend of The family says: "The president, is cordially fond of his brother •ad sister, but is unaccustomed to asking suggestions from them, and they respect his individual judgment and self-reliance too much to offer them. This is all that need be said in reference to wine at state dinners, which is somewhat worsted now on account of Miss Cleveland's well-known temperance principles.'*' Toronto, March 10.—There is great excitement over the mysterious disappearance of Samuel W. Moore, a well known physician of Dorchester station. Thursday evening the doctor was present at a concert in the town hall and left at 10 o'clock. He went to the stable, drove off and- nothing more was seen of him. Friday morning, however, his horse and cutter were found in a lonely spot near Nilestown. A bloody tragedy was at once suspected, and the whole country turned out to search for the doctor's body. No trace of it, however, was found. The next day public opinion changed wonderfully and instead of a murder the general opinion was that the doctor had planned this little episode to give him a chance to elope with a woman to Detroit. He has a wife and family here. A young man named Charles Blodgett ha* been arrested, but people here are indignant over his arrest. A Murder or an Klopement. Germany Instilt* England's Flag:.

To Be Assistant Secretary of State. Philadelphia, •March 10.—It is said that Mr. Bayard has offered the much-sought portion of assistant secretary of state to Mr. John Cadwallader, of Philadelphia, who is a connection by marriage of Mr. Bayard and a cousin of Mr. John Cadwallader, of New York, the assistant secretary of state under Hamilton Fish. Mr. Cadwallader has arranged to sell his Philadelphia house and to take up his residence in Washington.

New Havxn, March 10.—The celebrated slander case of Miss If. W. Kinner vs. Dr. Henry W. Fainter has been settled out of court and the case withdrawn from the com raon, pleas docket. At a fashionable wedding in West Havsn some time since, where Miss" gim»Ar was on* of the invited guests, one of theweddiilg presents—a valuable diamond ring—was stolen. Dr. Painter, who at that time occupied the office of grand juror, thought that Miss Kinner was the purloiner of the ring, and used rather peculiar methods to have the young lady acknowledge that she was the aulprit Dr. Fainter went even further, ana in a very outspoken manner said that Miss Kinner wu a kleptomaniac, and that she was not responsible for her actions. The parents of the young lady and her friends were highly incensed at Dr. Painter's action and remarks, and he was sued for heavy damages. The compromise was brought about by the intervention of church people who sympathised with Miss Kinner, among whom was the minister of the church, who proved to be her strongest supporter. They refuse to give the basis of the compromise. Dr. Painter figured prominently at one time as the champion of the notorious Blanche Douglass in the Malley-Cramer murder case. Marietta, Pa., March 10.—The Susquehanna river has been rising very rapidly. The ice on the river is broken and Is floating down in large blocks. The residents of Front street removed their goods to the upper stories of their houses, while several vacated their dwellings and removed to other sections of the town. It is anticipated that a flood will occur and exceed the one ten years ago. Messrs. Spangler and Rich, grain dealers, located on the river bank, removed all their grain and flour from their mill. The river banks were thronged with people watching the rise of the water. The river has risen seven feet above low water mark and has entered many dwellings and business houses. The water at midnight was at a standstill and the weather was colder. Another Flying Machine. Cleveland, March 10.—A WiUoughby, Lake county, O., man, who refuses his nam* for publication, has invented what he calls ar "'aerial bus."

It consists of a ballooC made of a composition of copper, platinum, iteel and other materials, to which is attached, by means of a chain and reel, a tug carrying a double right and left hand propeller wheel. The inventor. says all he lacks to prove thi practicability of operating his "bus" is capital. He is now endeavoring to form an aerial stock company among the merchant* of Cleveland. . He is a sou of Judge Cadwallader and has been a life-long, earnest Democrat of the Bourbon type.

Her death was announced and her funeral took place Tuesday. The life-likB appearance of the body excited much comment, and the interest grew so intense that it was thought best to disinter the body. This was accomplished Thursday afternoon, the body having been in the grave two days and two nights. It still bore the same life-like apixwrance. It was .placed in a roan in which the temperature has been kept steadily at 75 degrees. Not the slightest indication of decomposition 1b apparent, and old physicians declare themselves unable to determine whether Mrs. Bellensen is dead or alive. Washington, March 10.—Col. Nelfon H.
