AT THE OPKKA HOUSE.
The Opening of the Season at Springer's Last
Night.
The season of 1886-7 was opened at Springer
opera house last night by the “My Aunt Bridget”
company. Considering the fact that the weather
was disagreeably warm, the attendance was very
fair. The appearance of the opera house was
striking, and showed marked improvement. The
wbIIr have been neatly and handsomely papered,
and the new scenery was favorably commented
upon by all present.
Ah a play “My Aunt Bridget” possesses no par
ticular merit. It simply furnishes scope for a
very good company to display its talent. There
is Am in it, and the company gets It out and
gives the audience the Aill benefit of it. There
is good singing and better dancing, and the
medley makes up an enjoyable enter
tainment. There is not a poorly por
trayed character in the play, but George
Monroe as "My Aunt Bridget” and John Rice, as
P. Alton McVeigh, deserve special mention.
The singing and dancing of John Rice and Miss
Katie Hart won special applause. They intro
duced new songs and dances, and the chestnut
bell was not rung on them a single time. Alto
gether, the company and the play are worthy of
liberal patronage from the public.

TIIE APPEAL OF THE MECHANICS.
Aii Address to Their Fellow Workmen Throughout
the United States and Canada.
To the Mechanics of the United States and
Canada, and their Sympathizers: The under
signed committee of Mechanics* Up ion No. 1, of
Charleston, 8. C., in presenting this appeal for
aid to their brethren and friends, would briefly
bring to their attention the following facts:
The union is a long existing corporation, em
bracing many of the mechanics of the city, and
is organized for the purpose of promoting con
cert of action and unanimity of feeling, and in
general, of advancing the welfare and interests
of the craft in this place, while more particularly
it is intended to contribute to the poor and suf
fering among its members and their families.
For eighteen years post it has been performing
efficient service in and about these worthy objects
of its existence, and has established a strong grasp
upon the hopes and affections of this portion of
the community.
In order the better to promote the work of the
association and to cement the union among
them, far some time past strenuous efforts have
been making to supply a suitable hall far the
meetings of the union, and also far providing
means for the moral, Bocial and educational
advancement of those connected with it. A lot
had been secured and much of the building had
been completed when the terrible convulsion
which shook a continent has shattered the
work and imposed a loss nnd damage which we
are unable to sustain unaided.
There has been one cheering and steady light,
throughout the whole of the past week of gloom

The Soiree nt Prof. Bill tie's.
The society season opened definitely in Colum
bus last evening with a soiree at the residence of
Prof. H. W. Battle. It was an unqualified and
brilliant success. The music was furnished by
Mrs. Battle’s classes in music, and it equaled, if
it did not surpass, anything the reporter has ever
heard from amateurs. It was generally under
stood that the soiree was to be an informal “by
the children.” Those who attended were de-
gol ten prospects and with the best wishes of lighted and surprised. The reporter for the
many friends.—Montgomery Advertiser.

She leaves one daughter, and a large con
course of fYiends who deeply mourn her death

The Amoral will take place at 2 p. m. to-day at

Enquirer-Sun arrived just as the first piece was
being rendered. A line of carriages fronted the
house, and it was difficult to elbow one’s way
even into the piazza. The scene inside, as viewed
through the blinds, was pleasing aud brilliant.
The folding doors of the two parlors were thrown
back, making one continuous drawing
room. The chairs were arranged a la
opera house, and were filled with the creme de la
creme of Columbus society. Scores were stand
ing inside the drawing room, while the passage
and piazza were literally filled. The crowd of
guests was estimated by several at two hundred*
There were certainly one hundred and seventy-
five. It was the first social assemblage the re
porter had ever seen in Columbus. The per
centage of beauty was remarkably large.
Mythology tells us that when the nine muses
snug in their famous contest with Apollo on
Mount Parnassus, each one sang to her favorite
star as it rose. The first song last evening was
“Moonlight Will Come Again.” It was thrillingly
rendered by the senior class, and it was being
sung just as the moon, full-orbed and shimmer
ing, floated up on the horizon like a ship of gold
on an opaque ocean.
When all did so well it seems wrong to be in
vidious by distinction. There was a printed pro
gramme of nineteen selections, which were car

during its rendition, which occupied

In order to provide fluids for repairing the
damage done and in this way promoting the

and in order likewise io provide funds for the

In doing so they feel that there is no need to

greeted by a packed house. The Baltimore Sun
has the following to say of them :
“Wilson and Rankin’s minstrels opened the
season at Ford’s Grand opera house last night,
and there was a packed house to welcome them.
The company is large and good. Many new and
clever things were said and done. George Wil
son’s quaint humor and Carl Rankin’s grotesque
comedy were the main features of the first part.
The Pavuuelus brought music from paving
stones, tools and brooms. The Poluskis intro
duced many new ideas that were heartily appre
ciated by the audience. Altogether the opening
night was an auspicious one. The house looked
bright and beautlAil, the performances were Sat
isfactory, and everybody seemed chcerftil aud
happy.”
Death of Mrs. Gorily.
Mrs. Henrietta Gordy died at her home in this
city yesterday morning, after a lingering illness
of fever. She was a native of Harris county ami
was fifty-six years of age, but for many years she
has resided in this city. She was the widow of
Mr. LaFayette, Gordy who died in 1871, leaving j
her with four children to rear. How well she j
accomplished the work is attested by the upright j
characters of those who called her mother 1
and who to-day deeply mourn her j
death. Her children are Captain Thomas \
Gordy, conductor on the Mobile and Girard rail- !
road, Mr. Jas. N. Gordy, Mrs. Cord ray and Mrs.
Hendricks, and in their sad bereavement they
have the sympathy of a host of friends. Mrs. 1
Gordy was a consistent member of St. Luke or w lio
church, and her life exemplified the religion !
which sl\e professed. Surely, a good woiuau has
ors have yet found a name, much less a de
scription. The next and only other encore was
given to Miss Katie Buttle on her
piano solo, "Lohengrin,” by Wagner. She
played it superbly and the encore was
no more than a just desert. The audience were
evidently hungry for more like it. On the encore
Miss Battle played a selection from the Mikado.
One of the sweetest sougs of the evening was
“Sing, Smile and Slumber, “by Miss Mattie Preer
This young lady has a voice of remarkable
pathos aud compass, and with the cultivation
which it is now receiving, her friends have every
reason to hope and predict for her a rosy
ftiture in the realm of song. There are few
sweeter voices than hers anywhere. One of the
most striking instrumental pieces of the evening
was rendered on two pianos by four little girls.
It was “Silver Trumpet March” by Misses Swift,
Kirven, Baker and Kirven. The Duo—"Sophia
Waltz,” by Misses Jennie Ingram
and Clara Wolfeon charmed everybody.
Miss Ida Solomon’s “Lullaby” was greatly ad
mired, as was also ‘ Last Hope” by Miss Ligon.
The two piano solos. “Grace and Beauty” and "1
Puratani Fantasie Brillanti,” by Misse.. Lizzie
Hunter and L. Beach respectively, took the au
dience by storm. The evening, the programme
and the entire entertainment passed off without
a flaw or ajar. Few more enjoyable events have
oecurred in Columbus in a long time. Prof.
Battle himself was master of ceremonies, and
called out the programme, materially
aiding those who were without programmes
ere away from the lights in keeping up
with the music. The professor didn’t sing any.
He said they wouldn’t let him. But his voice

The writer witnessed the following occurrence
while seated on his front stoop day before yester
day aflernoou : A negro man and woman came
slowly down the sidewalk talking. Immediately
in front of the house was a fine, fat cow, grazing.
When the woman spied the cow, she rushed V.ut
into the street, crying: “Here yeris, an’ 1’se
been huntin’ yer up an’ down dese streets; I’ll
fix yer!” and picking up a brick, she struck the
cow, full on side, a terrible blow’. A second
brick followed the first wth the same result.
Not satisfied with this, she ran after the cow,
beating her all the way up the street. The cow
was a very fine one, with no horns, and was cer-
j tainly injured,

Death of Mrs. Kliza W. Skinker.
Letters were received iu this city a few days
ago with the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs.
Eliza W. Skinker, wife *of John Skiuker, in San
Francisco, California, on the 19tn of August.
Mrs. Skinker was formerly a resident oft his place
and will be better remembered by her maiden
name, Miss Eliza Woodard. She was married in
1869 at the residence of Col. Randall Jones in
Russell county, Alabama, and was a niece of
Mrs. Randall Jones and Mrs. John Billups.
Shoitly after her marriage she moved to Califor
nia, where she was residing at the time of her
death. Mrs. Skinker leaves no children, and her
only sister, Mrs. Emma Anderson, was residing
with her at the time of her death. She has

Nome More Mutual Life Bolide*.
The late Silas D. Montgomery, of South Shafts-
bury, Vt., took out policy No. 107,145 in the Mutu
al Life in 1870. The policy became a claim last
spring and appears in the list of June 18. The
face of the policy was for $1000, and the additions
amounted to $407, or only $35.20 less than the
total amount of premiums which had been paid
on the policy. Insurance for sixteen years, and
$1000 to the estate of the insured, cost therefore
$2.20 per year.
In January, 1885, Dr. George W. Blake, of Iqwcj
Salem, Washington county, O., took out policy
No. 259,230 in this company for $1000, paying one
annual premium of $31.80. On June 10, 1885, he
died. In August the company paid his wife
$1002. Within eight months from the time the
policy was issued, Mrs. Blake had received from
the company $1002, which had cost her husband
$31.80.
Joseph B. Barnes, a farmer of Northampton
county, N. O., had paid but one premium of $57.99
on his policy of $1500. At the time of his death
last week, his heirs received $1503, as the fruits of
this small investment.
In 1861, John H. Young, of Beverly, Massachu
setts, Insured his life in this company for $2000.
He allowed his dividends to accumulate, and last
week his widow received $3658 as the result of his
loving foresight.
Dr. George P. Barnes, of Bristol, R. I., secured
a policy in this company for $3000, on the five-
year distribution plan, July 1,1885. On the third
day of last October he was stricken by heart dis
ease, tind died as though he had been shot.
This happened in Dresden, Germany, while he
was on his wedding trip; and last week the ftill
amount of the claim, on which but one premium
had been paid, was handed to the young wife
and widow.
In this week’s list of paid claims appears the
name of George N. Walker, a prominent citizen
of Peoria, 111. In 1848 Mr. Walker took a $3000
ordinary life policy in this Company. It cost
him $75 a year, and he kept it paid up until the
day of his death. The accumulated dividends
rtearly equal the face value of the policy and the
total claim paid to Mrs. Walker is $5727.
