Rice's Surprise Party in "Pop" will pear at the Opera House here on Thursday evening next. The Philadelphia Pres* in speaking of the troupe while at the Chestnut street theatre of that city says "the sprightly banoni has been compelled to repeat her songs and dances at every performauce this week." This would argue that the troupe Is particularly attractive. Every perform ance was greeted with large audiences a fact that clearly eatablishes the fai t that the play is good. Notwithstanding the inclement weather an audience numbering about 600 assembled at the Opera House last uight to witness the presentation of the ridiculous comedy, "7-20-8. or Casting a Booraering," by Au gustin Daly's Comedy Company. The p'ay was particularly amusing and the players, one and all, were so well drilled in their re spective roles that the whole performance was as satisfactory as could be desired by tbe most fastidious audience. To particularize would be hard in the face of so many that were good, but tbe character of Floss the much sought "7-20 8," by Hden Bijou Heron, was remarkably tural. It Is to be hoped that the managers of the Opera House will make an effort to tiring to this cl y numerous c ih punies as satisfactory as that of last evening. ap A Lively Railroad War. Lebanon.

Hia More Than Cordial Reception at tha Star Theatre Laat Night« N»w Tor*, Oct. 2#.—Tlie beautiful Star Theatre was densely thronged to-night ou tbe tiret appearance of Mr. Irving,and never In tbe annals of the stage In this country has an actor played to an audience of greater distinction. This cultivated and critical house tendered the artist a hearty greeting, and at once gave Mr. Irving the assurance of the goodwill oi bis audience. Curing the entire play bushed attention alternated with enthu siastic applause. It la known that Mr. Irvlog had expressed himself as somewhat anxious about his reception In Americs, and a degree or nervousness was noticeable at times, but It lu no wise detracted from his splendid delineation of the character of Mathias, In the weird play of "The Bells." After esch set Mr. Irving wss called before tbe curtain, and with great grace acknowl edge the hearty welcome. WHAT THE PAPERS SAT. The Sun says : "The social welcome ac corded to Mr. Irving since his arrival In New York has left little that he or his ad mirers could desire, and it has been happily followed by one of the most brilliant triumphs that any artist from abroad has ever won upon our boards. The old Wallack Theatre, still held in affectionate memory by the best of our theatre-goers, was crowded last evening with a most distinguished audl Not as our two houses of opera usually present, nor so ag in the matter « os showy an audience em e. ivo and c in did ;gressivo aud c in did — the matter oi dress, but cer tainly representative of tbe best cultivation that our city owns, and in respect of the beauty it contained,far surpassing any audi ence that Mr. Irving ever bowed to In his life. When Mr. Irving came upen the stage ho was received with an outburst ol feeling so warm, spontaneous and demonstrative in Its character as to be fairly deafeulng. People rose their fe«t and shouted their wel come at him as if they would never t re of It, and with no heed to the gestures of depre cation with which he signified his desire to be Mathias Instead of Henry Irving. Fi nally he silenced them with a resolute move ment, and ended a reception which was per haps the most enthusiastic that any stranger has enjoyed at " Alluding to the performance, the Sun No matter what may be thought ol the singularity of the actor's stage person ality, of his Idiosyncrasies of utterance, oi gesture and of movement, the Impression of Ids mastery of his art, of picturesqu^ness, and of the refinement and finish of his per formance, remains unclouded and undis puted." The Tribune 6ays: "Judgment and taste differ and will coutinue to differ in defining his talents and estimating his rank. But upon one point all opinions are agreed, and all the more agreed since the perform ance last night—he is a thorough actor." hands. says: Sad Seena at a Station House, [Baltimore Sun, to-day.] Yesterday as the jail van stood before the central police station, a middle-aged man and a swee\ faced little girl stood at the door. She had a bundle in her arms, and tears gathered in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks as she watched the prisoners brought out to go to jail. One by one they came, sullen, defiant, indifferent, or even jo cose as they confronted the stares of the crowd. At the end of the line came a well dressed, decent-looking child ruseed to her and sobbed In her arms, while motherly tenderness flushed and agi tated the mother's fsce. The officers stepped jack, and the mother RDd her child the centre of a sympathizing group, a little apait from which the husband stood in stern silence. The little girl unwrapped the bundle she carried and took from It a plain-looking shawl. With outstretched arms she held it towards her mother and sweetly said, "Mamma, put it on." The mother took off the coat she wore, handed it to her daughter and drew the shawl about her. Bhe took the child's- face between her hands and kissed it. With that she turned away with out a word and passed on to the van, which she entered with steady step. The eyes of the little girl followed her mother, and as the door of the wagon closed with a grat ing noise the child burst out anew luto tears.

Paris, October 28.— Vfall advices from Saigon show that the French forces, in their encounters In the vicinity of Ha-Nol In the early part of September, met Chinese regu lars who were well armed and officered. After a conflict of three days, during which the French took some of the enemy's works, they withdrew, leaving Hal Phong still In the bands of the enemy. Some of the troops of the King of A imam were with the enemy. A letter from Saigon to tbe franc* states that unheard of cruelties were committed near Hue on tbe occasion of Its capture by the French sailors. Admiral Courbet di rected, In an official order, that there should be no quarter given to men, women or chii dren. Three hundred Annualités who h&d taken refuge in the mouth of the Bay of Thuan were killed, all of them being shot. One hundred and fifty more, who were drift ing In a junk without arms or oars, were also mass acted. The Figaro declares that Admiral Cour bet, at the instance of Commissioner Har mand, allowed th«« perpetration of such acta in order to terrorize the Annamites. The Temp* denies that Ad "irai Courbet gave such orders, but udralt9 that 1,203 cf the enemy were slain at Thuan. The Goulot i says that, In view of the con tingency of war between France and China, several kreuch iron-clads have been ordered to be put In readiness to reinforej the French sq adron in Chinese waters. London, Oct. 23.—Tho Chinese Legation has furnished the newspapers with copies of of the entire correspondence that passed be tween the Marquis Tseng, the Chinese Am bassador, and M. Chalieinel-Lacour, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, upon the Tonquln question. The correspondence adds little to that already published, except that it offer arguments in favor of Chiua's position. It denies that tho Marquis Tseng ever assured M. Cballemel-Lacour that China would not oppose France's enterprise in Tonquln, and says that before July last, M. Tricon, the then French Ambassador to China, Informed Li Hung Chang that either open or occult assistance of Annatn by China would Invoke a casus belli. The Paris correspondent of the Standard says it Is clear that the negotiations between France and China upon the Tonquln ques tion have been 'broken off' lor the present. The relations now existing between the iwo countries can only be described as at a dead lock. EGYPTIAN SOLDIERS MASSACRED.

The Head of Anderson, tbe Murdered Convict, Produced in Court. Joliet, III., Oct. 29.—In the case of Mooney, on trial for the butchery of Ander son, a leilow-convict, the prosecution this morning called as witnesses Drs. Heise and Dougal. The defense having tried to throw a cloud over the testimony that was given by the medical experts, the remains of the dead convict were exhumed on Friday night the head cut from the body and tak^n to the office of Dr. N. B Campbell, where it was dissected on 8a* urday. When court opened this morning a mys terious looking box was placed upon a table in iront of the Jury. It had been reported by a witness for the defense that they were going to prove that tbe wound described as having peuetrated the ear, knocking out several of the teeth, was an impossible one, and could not be made. The box was opened, and a decided sensation occurred in the court room when the ghastly head of the murdered convict was exposed to view. The body had been buried five months, but the face was well preserved, the skin being drawn and wrinkled. One side of the face had been dissected irom the ear ta the lower jaw, showing the course of the knife through the ear. The side of the Jaw was broken and several teeth were missing. The knife mnst have been struck with all a man's strength to pierce the jaw bone, the direction of tbe blow showing it to have been utterly impossible for Anderson to have done it himself. This completely upsets the theory of sui cide. The jury all had an opportunity of inspecting the head before It was removed. Mooney, the accused, sat within 10 feet of this terrible death's head, but never allowed his eyes to glai ce in that direction. F. Oakes was the first witness called for the defense. He attempted to demonstrate that the wounds on Anderson's body could have been self-inflicted. Dr. J. TWO KILLED AND FOUR INJURED. Explosion of Mine ban In a Pennsylvania Coal Company's Shaft. Pittston, Oct. 29.—An explosion of mine gas took place in the No. 7 shaft oi the Penn sylvania Coal Company near here this even ing, which resulted iu the killing of two brothers and the fatal burning of four 'other men.

They entered with naked lights ami, a large quantity of ga» having accumulated, a terrific explosion followed. I |Tbe two Gallaghers were terribly burned and dashed against the sides of the chamber with fearful force. Their death was instan taneous. The other four men who were in tbe gangway were burned in a horrible man ner and probably not one will survive. The noise of the explosion was heard half a mil»* from the shaft and In a lew minutes the head-house was surrounded by an excited crowd. It was known that 22 men were below, and, as the result of the explosion was not yet known, the wildest rumors were circu lated. The wives, mothers and daughter» of those in the pit added to the terror of the scene by their wild cries and wailings. Be fore long, howeve, tbe real extent of the In juries was known. The unharmed miners were hoisted to the surface, and, shortly after, the dead aud wouuded were brought up. Both She killed were married men and had families. Virginia to Emulate Ohio.

THE DEADLY DYNAMITE FIVE MEN KILLED BY AN EX PLOSION. THEIR BODIES TORN TO PIECES A F —Fragment a or the Victim»' Bodies Scat tered Around. rful Explosion In a Railroad-Tunnel [PhUodeipWa Press Special.; Connellsvill*, Oot. 20.—Twelve thous and pounds of dynamite exploded yesterday moraiug at Brooks Tunnel,-Somerset county on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Five men were blown to atoms, and the shock of tho explosion was felt 25 miles from the tunnel. The names of the killed follow: H R. Burchfield, aged 2<i, unmarried, lived at BeUaire, Ohio; W. A. Dean, aged 60, tunnel blacksmith, supposed to have lived at Parker's Landing, in the oil regions; Robert Hammond, aged 22, watch man at the tunuel, lived at Cutnner'anl, Md ; George Reynolds, aged 29, engineer of construction train, married, but no < hlld I, lived in Confluence, a few miles west of tbe scene oi the accident; Charles lissull, aged 25, married but no children, lived at Confluence. WHEN THE EXPLOSION TOOK PLACE. The railroad company I as been strength ening and wide ing the tunnel, wbien i- 85 miles east of Pittsburg, and some distance Inside a magazine had been erected, in which was stored 1,200 pounds of dynamite, to bo used for blasting. The freight train, of which Rey olds was cuglneer, had passed through the tunnel, mid was side-tracked for an hour to allow an cxpie6s tiain to go by. Reynolds and his companions walked back tn tho tunnel to the vicin ty of the magazine to get out of the rain, and wera encaged in conversation with th t watchman, when the people in the vicinity were s urtled by a terrific concussion. A SCENE OF DEVASTATION. A mass of 6 tones and dust a tose toward the clouds, trees were uprooted and rocks weighing many tons were loosened from their fastenings and thrown luto the river. Houses for 15 miles arouud were shaken to their foundation and windows for a distance of Beven miles were shattered, while tele graph poles for half a mile were prostrated into fragments. The stout oaken planks of the shanty where tho dynamite was kept were reduced to splinters not larger than lucifer matches, and they were scattered for incredible dis tances to all points of the compass. Ou the site of the builoing nothing remained but a huge rent in tbe earth 10 feet in depth and of corresponding dimensions. The struc ture was located at the mouth of the tunnel, and on each side arose the high, rocky wall of the cut. MARKS OF THE DISASTER. For a distance of 200 yards up the track the rail6 and ballast were spotted with shreds of human flesh and drops of blood. The sides of the cut bore the same awful marks, and high up above the tuui.el, oa a stately chestnut tree, waved a piece of bloody cloth, about the size of a handker chief, torn from the garments of one cf the victims. The trees of the mountain side were broken and twisted by tbe violence of the explosion, and the tracks were litter«d with debris. Horror-stricken people 1 ushed from their houses and search was made for the party who had gone to the tunnel. For a time nothing bearing a resemblance to any part of tbe human body could be found, but after awhile pieces of flesh and bones, with fragments of cloth clinging to them, were discovered. FRAGMENTS OF THE DEAD. The largest pieces were the foot and hend of Reynolds, the engineer. These were iden tified by a peculiar ring on the hand and by the shoe on the foot. Afterward* portions of bodies, Including legs, arms, hands and heads, were picked up half a mile distant, but so badly disfigured as to be unrecogniz able. A great toe was discovered hanging by a long tendon to tbe biishei two miles from the mouth of- the tunnel. With the exception of the headless and limbless trunk of one of the men, ail of tbe remains would not fill a two gallon measure. Near Rockwood, almost eight miles dis tant, a congregation had assembled for wor ship. Tbe shock their little wooden tro and the more superstitious cried aloud in terror that the Day of Judgment had at last come, whllo others leared an earth quake. The cause of the accident is unknown. The dynamite was stored tiu cans. A gun has been found scene of the explosion. It is thought that tt may have been discharged by party and tbe concussion caused the dyna mite to explode. The most pepular theory, however, is that o! the victims, heedless of the dangerous character of its contents, h ndlcd oue of the boxes containing the dynamite in a careless manner, aud, -perhaps, dropped it on the floor. An inquest wa* held to-day, and the Cor oner's juiy rendered a verdict of accidental death. the explosion caused lurch to rock to and the hillside in tDO of the Fall Fashion Quarterly.
