Thomas Stevens’ Journey Around W orld on a Bicycle. An audience that ought to have been a great deal larger, when the merits of the entertainment are considered, listened last evenmg in • the Opera House to Mr, Thomas Stevens in his recital of a “ Tour Around the World on a Bicycle.” The occasion was the first of a series of lectures and entertainments to be given for the benefit of Delaware Hose. Mr. Stevens is a gentleman whose love of ad venture led him to undertake the novel feat of a ride into the barbarous and half civilized countries of Asia, of whose peoples we know so little. He has a pleasant, half conversational way of ad dressing an audience that puts him in stantly on good terms with his hearers, and he gives point to much that he says by plenty of anecdote and wit. He illus trated his long ride and the strange sights that he saw with many views, that were thrown upon a large screen by a stereop- It IS a matter of regret that the audience was so uncommonly small.

Through the aid o f Sir Donald A. Smith, who is now in London, a telegraph cir cuit was formed from London to Vic toria, Canada, by the Mackey-Bennett cable and the Canadian Pacific railroad telegraph, and Sir Andrew Clarke, the distinguished London physician, was placed in direct communication with Dr, Hannington of Victoria. A conversation, lasting three hours con cerning Lord Ennismore’s condition, was carried on. An unbroken circuit was worked from Victoria to the cable oflOice in New York, where the telegrams were repeated to London. Replies were ceived in three or four minutes. Lord Ennismore, though still in a dangerous condition, is somewhat better. Jmrog Wade, Brown. Printers-iiicKissock, Graham, Wilkes. Miscellaneous—Robinson, Rosencrance, Goodsell.

Carloads of Brick and Lumber Received for I ts Erection. Nine carloads of brick and a carload of lumber have been rcceided in this village for the erection of the new passenger de pot, at Fowler street. Delfleld and Mc- Lane of Newburgb are famishing the A large number o f men are at work on the site 01 the depot, and have the founda tion nearly completed, while another large gang are at work grading and laying the track leading to it. The contractors were in town during the past week, and when questioned with regard to the progress of the work said it would he pushed forward without delay. This is gratifying news to the people of this village and the prospects are that by early spring Poit Jervis will have a pas senger depot of which it may be proud. A FIN E ENTERTAINMENT. Te make amends for the two bad shows that we lately had, Mr. Lea is going to give us a first-class performance Thuriday, being the play of “ Under Cover,” in which George 0 . Boniface, player who has earned a position of prom inence in the dramatical profession, by meritorious work and who has probably portrayed as varied a round of characters, as any actor now before the American public, during the past 20 years or more, many of them being in the higher walks of dramatic art. Mr. Boniface plays Jerry Jummel, a champion of the oppressed, devoted to business. He is a clever, goorl-hearted, always around in tbe nick of time sort of a vagabond, who befriends the luckless victim of treachery, and toils combined villiany. He loves the flowing bowl, and is brought to extremity thereby. His portrayal is highly amusing and al together artistic in its way. It is br^ad comedy in the hands o f an experienced actor, and naturally gratifying. Alto gether “ Under Cover” can beset down as a very pleasant entertainment, and will give all who visit the Opera House on Thursday a first-class performance. go n e a t l a s t . The Erie has just completed a new overhead bridge one mile west of Oxford on the Eastern division. The old bridge is being torn down, and its disappearance will cause rejoicing among the men who have been compelled to ride under it on the tops of trains. “Bridge No. 21,” as it was called, was so low that a brakeman could not stand up on a train running un der it with safety, and the result was that more than one was killed and a number badly hurt by coming in contact with it. The company has wanted to replace bridge No. 21 with a higher and perfectly safe one for a long time, but owing to the ex pensive grading incident to the erection of a new one there has been a stand off between the Erie people and the Road Commissioners of Orange county. When the difference was settled the improve ment was begun. There is not now an unsafe bridge on the Eastern division or branches,all having been either renovated or rebuilt.—N. Y. Sun. BEATING THE RECORD, The Uoabria reached Q leenstown Sun day evening in the time of 6 days, 2 hours and 22 minutes from Sandy Hook. Tbe best eastward passage hitherto made was by the Etruria, in April, 1888, in 6 days, 4 hours and 40 minutes. The best west ward passage on record is 6 days, 1 hour and 50 minutes, by the Etruria.

The Master W orkman Denies the Charges W ith Em p h a sis—Significant Action of the Chief of the Miners—The Consti tution. At the aftf moon session of the General Assembly Knights of Labor, yesterday, no actual business was completed, although a lively time interested the dele gates, Last week Geor’e E. Detwiler, editor of the Knights o f Labor, a Cdoago publication, was in this city in his indivi dual capacity of editor and member of the Order after which his paper is named and of which it is not the official organ. On his raitira home he wrote an editorial which appeared in his publication on Sat urday, and was read here yesterday. TMs editcr.al was an attack on the chBiacter and position of this General Assembly stating that Powdeily is the ruling mind, that the convention we^ packed in the in terest of the General Master Workman, and that Powderly and Liichman were afraid o f publicity and therefore both of them were ready to make peace and promptly did so at the first chance. Powderly took tne floor and made a vigorous denial and denunciation of the whole matter. He had introduced and refeirad to a committee a resolution, that whenever a member of the order shall, through the public press, make accusa tions of misdemeanor against members or officials of the oidar without first having made and sustained those accusations be fore the proper court of the order, he lays himself open to immediate expulsion by the general executive board without trial. Ex-Seeretary Cnarles A. Litchmau fol lowed Mr. Powderly in a denunciation o f the ediiorial ami denial of its statement. W. P. Lewis, the Master Woikman o f the -Viiners’ Assembly and others, followed, and all denied and denounced while none defended the editor in his crit.cisoi. The stand taken by Mr. Lewis in tbil ise is regarded as significant and Pow- derly’s Mends hope it means that the miners will not desert the order. There has been a great fear of that and it will not be fully settled until after the meet ing to be held by the miners at Columbus, O., on Dec. 5, By a secret circular Mr. Powderly has asked them to remain in the order and try to add to those min ers who are out. In like manner Mr. Lewis replied to Mr. Powderly saying that the K. of L. must do something for them if they wanted to keep their present membership among the miners. There tbe matter stands as it has for two weeks and action here is expected to influence the Columbus meeting next month. Mr. Lewis has kept quiet and has taken no stand for or against the change, tut some hope bis action to-day is indicative of his probable action. It is reported that a proposition looking to the formation of an entirely new con stitution has been made to the general as sembly and IS being considered by the proper committee. As there is a strong feelijg in favor of radical revision of the present constitution, there is little doubt that the new constitution will have many supporters. WALKING ON THE HUDSON.
