LOCAL AFFAIRS. —
Monday Night’s Fire.The fire alarm shortly before 11
o’clock Monday night was occasioned
by a dense cloud of smoke arising
from the Broad street end of Naffziger’s pork packing establishment,
and in » short time both fire companies were on the scene and ready
for duty. The blaze started from
the smoke-honse, the walls of the
lower portion of which are eonstructed of brick work, with a space of
about eighteen inches separating the
_ masonry from the surrounding wood
work, The sheet iron door to the
fireplace had bevome red-hot, and
the props holding it up had burned
away, letting it fall partially out of
position. ‘The fire had spread clear
around the wooden enclosure of the
brick walle, and run up into the
frame apartment where the meat
hung. There was a quantity of hay
~ stored in the loft of the building io
which the smote-house occupies a
corner, and a thin partition is all
that separates this building from
Graham’s livery stable. Had the
fire obtained a little more start, the
result would have been most disastrous, As it was, H. ¥. Reardan
arrived with three Harden Hand
Grenades before the firemen were
ready to turn on a stream, and broke
two in the space behind the fireplace,
the wooden partition being afire over
a large area, The gasses from the
grenades extinguished the fire there
in a twinkling, when he rushed
the opposite side and broke one #0
"that its contents were scattered over
the blazing wood work around the
iron door, Immediately the fire
there was subdued. At almost the
same time a stream of water was
turned inside the smoke-house by the
firemen, and the fire there was soon
out. There was about $600 werth
of hams and bacon nearly cured, and
a portion of the bacon was injured.
The loss of meat and damage to the
amoke-house will net be less than
$300, according to the owner’s estimate, The building is insured.

A Big Audience on the Opening
Night—Stronger Company Than
Ever..
The management of the Nelli.
Boyd Company must have felt highly complimented by the large audience that greeted them on the occas:
ion of their fourth annual appearance at this city: Every seat in the
stairs part of the house was nearly
fall. The melodrama of ‘‘Solomon
Isaacs” constituted the bill, and
although it had been twice played
here before, and a large portion
ofthe people present had seen it
at least once, it was 80 well
enacted that it commanded the deep
interest of all. Miss Boyd was of
course the central attraction, and
sotwithstanding the high degree of
excellence with which she had per
sonated “Kate Medland” in the
past, Monday évening’s performance
thatpart which shows she has not yet
career, She is, if we can judge from
a single illustration, better surported in most parte than during her previous visits. Ella Marble is a bright
and pleasing actress, and possessed
of more than ordinary dramatic force.
Mr. Roberte (whose ‘Seth Preen”
in “the Lights o’ London” first
breught him conspicuously before
the critical play-goers of the Coast)
although apparently out of his regu
lar line of business as ‘‘Mathew
Thornton,” the hardened villain,
showed marked improvement over
his earlier efforts; and that he is fairly entitled to the reputation be has
earned as an accomplished, versatile
and painstaking actor. H. Loomis
gave a quite acceptable rendition of
“Gilbert Medland,” but b:fore the
week has passed we expect. to see
him in other parts for which he is
better fitted. Mr. Marble, who has
the reputation of being a most admirable comedian, and wasal:o somewhat out of his element in the peculiar character of ‘‘Isaacs,” created a
vast fund of amusement by his eccentricities, All the other parte
were well played, and the performance as whole was strong. The
silver cornet band and’ orchestra is
by. great odde the best ever brought
to this city by any theatrical troupe.
Its selections are not only varied,
but.are performed with a skill and

“Soap” McAlpine Knocked Out.
Tom (better known out here as
Soap”) McAlpine, who a few years
ago fought Jimmie Rodda of this
_ city at Storm’s Ranch below Grass
Valley, is still in the field, as. the
following telegram sent Sunday from
St. Paul, Minnesota, shows: “ihe
afternoon a party of abbut 100 people went by steamer about three
miles down the Mississippi to witness a fight with hard gloves between John S. Barnes of thie city
and Tom McAlpine of New York
The men were of the same:height, 5
feet 8 inches. Barnes weighed 145
pounds and McAlpine 144. It was
nearly four -o’clock when time
was called. By consent of both parties the time of the rounds was
made two minutes each under the
Marquis of Queensbury’s rules, The
fight was marked by cautious sparring for six rounds without either
receiving punishment. When the
_ seventh round began it was evident
that Barnes meant. buainess, and he
sent in a terrific swinging righthander which took McAlpine fairly
over the right eye and he fell like o
log, where he lay fully ten minutes
totally unconscious. @n coming to
he pulled off the gloves-and gave up.
Rarnes did not receive a scratch.”

The experiment made by Miss
Boyd in reducing prices of admission to 35 and 50 cents (reserved
seats being on sale at Vinton’s for
the latter price) is a most gratifying
success. None of our citizens feel
too poor to attend frequently, and a
