damage to the steamer John Romer by the collision last night with the steamship Guyandottte was the wrecking of a wheel and twisting of the shaft and carrying away the purser's office. In the; machinery the pedestal blocks were broken, the connecting rod twisted, the crankpin bent and the eccentric rod broken. It is thought that it will be fully a month before she can be gotten ready for service. There was considerable excitement and fright among the passengers. Captain Kelly, of the steamship Guyandotte, filed his statement with the board of steamboat inspectors, and Captain Lyman made his this afternoon.

VOLUME CIV--NO. Love in Harness is the significant title of the only comedy performance in this city during New Year's Week. It is from Daly's Theatre, New York, the famous American home for bright comedy.
It will be given in this city with all the effects in every way of its tamous success in New York city, where it ran for months. Here it will be produced for a part of the week only, which will also include Mr. Daly's other comedies, NANCY and both of which are equally merry, and were noted New York successes. Seats reserved at No. 13 Charles street (old stand) and at Ford's Grand Opera House.
"The Pearl of Pekin," with the inimitable Louis Harrison, and a great company of comic opera artists numbering over sixty people, will be the attraction at Harris's 'Academy of Music New-Year's week, opening next Monday night. The plot of the opera tells of a young Frenchman, the quartermaster of a man-of-war stationed at Pekin, who happens to succor a Chinese maiden, whose father is the principal mandarin of Pekin. He has a lively wife named Finette, who keeps a restaurant on the docks for the foreign soldiers and sailors. The quartermaster's name is Pierre, and upon rescuing the mandarin's daughter he kisses her. According to Chinese law any one who has seen the uncovered face of a Chinese girl must marry her, or, if obstacles intervene, must suffer death.
In such a dilemma the Frenchman is seized and carried off to the mandarin's palace to undergo one of the two tortures- marriage to a Chinese girl or the Ling-Chi. The Frenchman's wife ie excessively jealous. He is compelled to marry the Pearl of Pekin, and his first wife, who has brought a basket of champagne to the palace, finds him dressed in Chinese robes. She protests, but it is of no avail, until the chief of the Imperial Tigers, who is in love with the Pearl of Pekin, concerts with the two women measures to relieve him of his dire and bigamous responsibility. And finally it is arranged that the Pearl of Pekin shall assume the costume of Finette, the Frenchwoman, and the latter shall assume hers in the Anal ceremony.
In this way Ty-Foo, the mandarin, is deceived. But in the third act he discovers the imposture that has been practiced upon him, and as, according to Chinese laws, no one can have more than one wife for twenty-four hours after the ceremony of marriage, the Frenchman, who has not known of the substitution, is, after all, condemned to death. His wife has a happy thought as his last moments happen, and proposes that her husband at least die in good humor, and for that purpose proposes that her basket of champagne be uncorked. The Chinese, who ask nothing better, readily agree to the proposal, and in the midst of their celebration the French vessel, to which Finette has sent message by her four waiter-girls, returns to port, sends her sailors to rescue her quartermaster, and all ends happily. The story is amusing, the music sparkling, the scenery and costumes gorgeous.
THE SALE OF SEATS FOR THE PEARL OF PEKIN begins today at the Academy box office and at the new down-town ticket office, corner of Charles and Fayette streets, in the Domestic Sewing Machine Building. Edward E. Rice and Henry Dixey's OPERA COMPANY OF 60 PEOPLE, headed by the famous eccentric comedian LOUIS HARRISON, will commence an engagement of one week at Harris's Academy of Music Monday evening, Dec. 31, presenting for the first time in Baltimore the new comic Chinese opera, "Pearl of Pekin," which is said to have even a more pronounced Chinese flavor than that which marked Gilbert Sullivan's famous production, "The Mikado." The libretto of this new work was written by Charles Alfred Byrne, and the music composed by Gustave A. Kerker and Charles Lecocq.
Mr. Kerker will be here in person to direct the enlarged orchestra of twenty-four musicians. Louis Harrison is, of course, too well known to require an introduction. The supporting company will include that handsome and talented prima donna Miss Belle Thorne, clever Irene Verona, Joseph Herbert, who was the leading comedian of the Boston Ideals last season, Phil. Branson, one of our best lyric tenors, John C.
Leach, the clever Chinese impersonator; also, Edward Webb, Bertie Fisch, Clarette Vanderbilt, Ruth Thorne, Carrie Behr; also, a genuine Chinese band, Hi Kee, leader, a Chinese giant over eight feet in height, and a chorus of forty voices. The scene of the opera is laid in China in 1861, and is divided into three acts, the first being a French inn in Pekin, with a view of the city in the distance. Act second represents a royal apartment in the governor's palace, and the third and closing act a view of the Blue Kiash, overlooking the governor's grounds and palaces.

THE PETREL'S -A special dispatch to THE SUN from Washington last night says: The Navy Department has been notified of the successful casting of the propeller for the gunboat Petrel at the Columbian Iron Works in Baltimore. The propeller is made of alluminum bronze, and two unsuccessful attempts had previously been made to cast it in Boston. This is the largest casting that has ever been made of this metal. It is estimated at the Navy Department that the Petrel will be completed in about two months. The joiner work is now being finished up, and most of her machinery is on board.
The contracts called for the completion of the vessel by December 11, 1887, and the conof tractors have been working under a penalty $200 per day since the lith of the present in month. The delay was caused by difficulty securing suitable steel. The vessel is baing very well built.

Little Jack Horner went through the usual movements, and there sprang from a dish a pretty child instead of the fabled plum. These scenes were interspersed with statuary representing Victory, Terpsichore, Resignation and The Avenger, the young ladies essaying the parts wearing classic drapery, and posing gracefully. In the second part, The Enchanted Princess, on The Triumph of Ether, gave scope for much tantastic dressing and spirited dancing among the little folks, who were fairies in tulle and spangles. Ladies and gentlemen in court dress walked through the dignified movement of the minuet, but the greatest applause was given the tiny dots of children, whose dancing was so graceful, In the play the court celebrated the eighth birthday of the princess with a feast under the direction of the Gypsy fortune-teller. In the second the king and court entertained the fairies; when the Spirit of Ether, enraged at not being served on a golden plate, attacks the little princess.
The third scene are the royal kitchens, where the cooks and maids are cooking for the eighteenth birthday feast of the Princess, and in the next the Spirit of Ether lulls the whole court to sleep, and then descends to the kitchen, where the cooks are put under his spell. The arrival of Prince Charming breaks the magic spell and the play closes with a grand tableau and court dance. In the audience were hundreds of little ones with their fathers and mothers. Perhaps no part of the performance assumed the tender, pathetic interest evoked by the coming forward in a box of the Sheridan children, the three little girls in their black frocks, and little Phil standing near them. The Chinese minister and his secretaries had a box and were highly entertained by the performance.
Mrs. Hodgson Burnett was also an interested spectator. MAJORITY RECEPTION. Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. H. Jackson, the former the brother of Gov. Jackson, have sent cards to a number of friends here for a reception upon the occasion of their son, W. P.

T. J. Kervick, was entertained this afternoon in the basem*nt of the church by a stereopticon show, given by Rev. F. Hughes, pastor of St.
Teresa's Church, Uniontown. Dr. Chapelle, Dr. Garrigan and Father Mackin were present, and the afternoon was delightfully spent in a tour, through the medium of the magic lantern, to the fabled East and Rome, with many quaint and provincial scenes. MATRIMONIAL.

The weapon was a shotgun. Pattan received the entire charge in his neck, death following instantly. A jury of inquest was summoned, but a verdict could not be arrived at. Another jury was impaneled and is expected to find a verdict today.

TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY, ETC. FROM WASHINGTON. COMING TO THE INAUGURATION. A HUNDRED COWBOYS FROM COLORADO The Fifth Maryland Regiment to Attend-Star Route and Other Postoffice Matters -Doings of the Departments. Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.) WASHINGTON, Dec.
was understood at inauguration headquarters today that the Fifth Maryland will certainly be in line on March 4, also creditable representation of the Virginia militia. One hundred cowboys will come from Colorado attired in their working garb. The Lincoln Club of Cincinnati, composed of 200 members, have notified the committee they will be on hand.

The committee on fireworks met tonight, and had a long discussion regarding the award of contracts for the pyrotechnic display. The meeting was an executive one, and but little information would be given out. It was learned, however. that some of the committee members favored awarding the contract to Payne of Liverpool, Eng.
This stirred up such a storm of opposition that no definite action was taken, except to decide on making known all proposals received at the next meeting. POSTOFFICE STAR ROUTE SERVICE. Just now the daily mail received at the office of the Second Assistant PostmasterGeneral is unusually large, and probably exceeds that of even the President elect at Indianapolis. The increase is explained by the fact that on the third of January next bids for the star and steamboat mail service in the first contract section, embracing the England States, the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, will be opened. Postoffice officials state that the number of bidders is unprecedentedly large, and it is noticeable that there is a much larger proportion of local bidders than heretofore.
The star service in this section on the 30th of November last cost the government at the rate of $1,383,740 per annum, and the steamboat service in the same section was rated at $97,010. Thus the two combined was estimated at $1,480,750. The actual expenditure during the present year was considerably in excess of the appropriations made, consequently Congress will, at an early day, be called upon to provide for the deficiency. New routes have been established, and the service has been extended in accordance with the demands of the various States. It is quite probable that the bids when opened will indicate an increase in the rate for carrying on this service.
Last year the bidders were kept down to the lowest notch, and in many instances the service was crippled because the contractors were unable to carry out obligations for the amount of money paid. It is probable, therefore, that owing to the increased facilities necessary the service in this section will cost upward of $50,000 more than it did last year. Bids are coming in at a lively rate, indicating that there will be active competition in every direction. All bids must reach the department on or before January 3, otherwise they will not be considered. POSTAL CHANGES.
A new postoffice is to be established at Coppersville, Carroll county, with Isaac Staub as postmaster. The papers in the case were approved today and the announcement will be made tomorrow. PostmasterGeneral Dickinson will, with the beginning of the new year, have the privilege of appointing a chief clerk in the finance division of the third assistant's office. Mr. George W.
Wells, of Maryland, who held that position for a number of years, has retired from the public service, and the resignation takes effect from the 31st inst. The salary attached to the office is $2,000, and as it does not come within the range of the civil-service law it is probable that there will be no trouble in finding some one willing to fill the vacancy. INTERIOR DEPARTMENT PROMOTIONS. In the Interior Department Secretary Vilas gladdened the hearts of a large number today employes by awarding them promotions. of Among those who enjoyed the benefits of the holiday distribution were the following Marylanders: Stanley I.

The Chilian minister and Mons. Varas gave an exquisite dinner to a dozen of diplomatic friends. GOLDEN WEDDINGS. Dispatch to the Baltimore WASHINGTON, Dec. was a fieldday for the socially inclined.
A favored few had engagements from breakfast to a very late supper tonight. The fact that the balmy air and blue sky of the past week were succeeded this morning by clouds, rain and a muggy atmosphere, had little effect on the programme planned, for which invitations the past ten days have been as thick as the leaves of Vallambrosa, There were loads of pretty informal luncheons to begin the day, a taste of the tea-ware in the afternoon, dinners innnnmerable, a wedding in the early evening, bal poudre at night, interspersed with a musicale, and all made jolly and juvenile by the Mot herGoose pantomime at the New National Theatre for the benefit of the Homeopathic Hospital. TEA PARTY AND DINNERS. Mrs. Rush gave a tea to introduce her daughter, Miss Lula Mrs.
N. S. Lincoln a musicale, at which Miss Amy Haire, of London, who made her debut last spring in Dresden, was the bright and clever attraction. BAL POUDRE. By ten o'clock Mrs.
Whitney's bal poudre was attaining the dimensions of a quiet dance. By eleven it was a beautiful ball. The company was a gay one, made up of the dancing class which formed such a prominent feature in last year's entertainments. The scene in the Louis XVI ball-room seemed quite in keeping with it. The girls generally wore the quaint gowns of the Directoire and Empire, but here and there was seen a faithful adherent of the latest Parisian modification in the ever-charming gown of tulle, but all the ladies had powdered hair and patches.
The ball was given for Miss Dimock, of New York, a niece of the hostess, who was, however, too ill to come on. Mrs. Gouverneur Morris, of New York, assisted Mrs. Whitney. A supper was served at midnight, after which the cotillion began.
The favors were costly and numerous. Ex-Justice Strong gave a gentlemen's dinner to Chief Justice Fuller, having a large Capt. Isaac Bassett, assistant doorkeeper of the Senate, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his wedding tonight. A large number of the Captain's friends were present, and the presents he received were numerous and A handsome silver tray was sent by Senator Evarts, with a letter from the Senator asking its acceptance as a token of esteem from the Senators of the United States. The pages of the Senate presented Capt.
Bassett with a handsome card receiver. In the northwestern section Mr. and Mrs. James Wright celebrated a similar interesting event, surrounded by hosts of relatives and friends. MOTHER GOOSE AND FAIRIES.
The pantomime representation of Mother Goose rhymes and the fairy spectacle of the Enchanted Princess, this afternoon, at The New National Theatre, attracted a large and a highly-pleased audience. Miss Bertha Lincoln, a pleasing vocalist, essayed the part of Mother Goose. In the first part, Mistress Mary and her garden of pretty maids was personated by Gracie Youmans; pink roses, Gertie Clark and Ellie Lynch; poppies, Bessie Youmans and Sadie Luttrell; daisies, Madge Berney and Lettie Stevenson; tulips, Theresa Dudley and Edith Birney; lilies of the valley, Gertie Upton and Julia Elliott; sunflowers, Eliza Preston and Marie Genesi; co*ckle shells, Dorothy Fox and Theodora Preston; silver bells, Marie Elliott and Katie Preston.

Attorney Fellows today received a certified copy of the proclamation of Gov. Hill convening the Court of Oyer and Terminer in extraordinary session on January 21 because of the crush of criminal business, and with the assignment of Judge Charles Daniels as trial justice.
The office would give no intimation of what case would be called. Some say Thomas B. Kerr, of the Broadway Railroad, is the first on the list, while others contend that ex-Alderman Cleary will be put to the bar. Of the aldermen of 1884 who were charged with bribery seven men are untried, four have turned State's evidence, four have escaped, two in jail, two are awaiting new trials, two are dead and one is insane. THE PRESBYTERIAN REUNION.
The members of the two committees appointed by the General Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church, North and South, resumed their deliberations at the Mission House, No. 53 Fifth avenue, this afternoon. The proceedings were of an informal nature, and the most that was done was to talk over what the committee expected to accomplish in regular session. THE TWO GRADYS. The candidacy of the two Thomas F.
Gradys for State Senator in the sixth district begins to bother the politicians. It seemed a joke at first, but it is now assuming a serious aspect in view of the republican majority in the Legislature. It is said that the two men resemble each other in feature almost as much as they do in name. The Tammany Grady has made himself so unpopular in the district that almost any decent candidate with ordinary push could now defeat him. The law is very exact in defining that all ballots shall bear no distinctive mark.
How to tell which Grady, if both run, owns the votes has made what was expected to be a very tame contest develop into one of the most interesting of the decade of politics. Another candidate has also appeared on the republican side in the person of a popular lawyer, Charles L. Halberstadt, who would poll the large German and Hebrew vote. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. The new Opera Glass Seat Company have struck another snag.
A number of occulists say that public opera-glasses will be an excellent means of spreading contagious eye diseases, and a medical controversy has already begun over the matter.

He fell head first into a bin of grain and was suffocated before he was discovered and extricated.

C. T. Reynolds, head of the paint firm of C. T. Reynolds has been adjudged insane, and has been sent to a private asylum.
He imagines he has lost his fortune. PERSONAL NOTES. Mrs. Parnell, the mother of the Irish leader, will, it is said, spend the winter in this city. She has let the old homestead at Bordentown, N.
and will sell off her pictures and furniture. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett will live in a suite of elaborately, decorated apartments in Fifty-seventh street this winter. Her play, "Little Lord still draws crowded houses. The theatre attaches say it's the "wettest play" put on the stage for years.
and all the time-honored exhibitions of the pathetic can't come near it. During the first act the whole house is usually in a continued "boo-hoo." Ex-President Samuel Spencer, of the Baltimore and Ohio, is at the St. James Hotel. IN THE SOCIAL WORLD. Fashionable Hebrew society was well represented last night in the Red Room at Delmonico's at the marriage of Miss Flora Steiglits, of this city, to Alfred Stern, of Los Angeles, Cal.

Yellow-wheeled carriages are the popular fad of those who want the latest thing in equipages. PHILADELPHIA AFFAIRS. Russell Harrison's Mission Getting the Points for His Father. Dispatch to the Baltimore PHILADELPHIA, Dec. The true object of Russell Harrison's visit to New York and this city is gradually being disclosed.
He really represents his father, and is gathering information for the use of the latter, but he does not go for it to the leading politicians and bosses who seek to engage his attention. It may comfort those who are concerned about President-elect Harrison's cabinet and administration to know that he has sent his son to talk to business men and bankers, whose conservative advice he seeks. Of course he is not bound in any way by what is said to his son, but the latter can pick up much useful information for his father of a much more valuable kind than that furnished by "leaders" and office-seekers, whose selfish purposes make them bad advisers. Assuming that Russell Harrison would not have sought confidential advice from prominent business men without it was intended to use it, the outlook is not promising for statesmen of the Blaine and Foraker type. From what can be gathered in this city it is much more probable that the men to be chosen by Mr.
Harrison as his advisers will be of the type and standing of John Sherman, Allison and Wanamaker, though the last named is the only one of these three known to be booked for a place. BOARD OF EDUCATION. When it became known that Mr. Steel, president of the board of education, intended to resign, Samuel B. Huey, secretary of the Union League, was confidently named as his successor.
Some offthe, members preferred Isaac A. Sheppard, but before the canvass had been fairly started Huey's friends made a false move. They got Mayor Fitler to say that Mr. Huey must be elected, and at this the members of the board, who are appointed by the judges, and are therefore entirely independent of the mayor, took affront and determined not to submit to such dictation. The false move so helped Mr.
Shepphard that today it is announced Mr. Huey will not enter the contest at all. THE PARK MURDER MYSTERY. The police have made no discovery tending to solve the mystery of the Park murder. They now think that the remains are those of a German, not of an Italian laborar.
It is thought that the murder was committed not more than twenty-four hours before the discovery of the body. The head was badly mutilated by the blows that probably killed the man; but the other mutilation resulted from the severing of the legs from the body in order to make up two packages. It is supposed that the body was taken to the park at night. The remains might have been there undiscovered for several months but for the boys playing in the water-mains in which they were hidden, for work will not be resumed in laying the pipes until the spring. A dispatch from Jersey City, referring to the fact that a memorandum bearing the words "Koelbe, Hoboken," was found on the body, says that a Mrs.
Koelbe has a boarding-house at Second and River streets. Hoboken. She says the description of the deceased corresponds with that of George Hazeltine, who left her house two weeks ago in company with a boarder named Smith. ARREST OF BALTIMORE CROOKS.

It recommended the classification of the roads into those to be maintained by counties and towns jointly and by the towns alone; also the employment of a skilled engineer by each county to have charge of the roads and direct township commissioners. In the discussion it was recommended that the engineersbe men of practical experience, not mere college graduates, and also that some restrictions be put upon LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. The Position of the Pope-Mr. Gladstone's Estimate of It. Atlantic LONDON, Dec.
Tablet says: "Mr. Gladstone in a letter to the Marquis Doriso says that the position of the Pope is important enough to merit intervention by international arbitration.

NAPLES, Dec. Gladatone has decided not to go to Rome.
Authorized to Flog Slaves. Dec. Zanzibar LONDON, dispatch says: "It has been discovered that an agreement in relation to slave dealing exists between the English East Africa Company and the Sultan of Zanzibar and the Arab slave dealers of Manbaza. By this agreement the Arabs are authorized to carry on a trade in slaves and to flog or otherwise punish them. The company upon hiring slaves must make an arrangement with the owners.
The wages of the slaves must be paid to the owners. English mission stations are obliged under the agreement to return runaway slaves to their owners. After the agreement had been signed the agents of the company. Mr. Mackenzie and General Matthews, accompanied by a number of Manbaza Arabs, went to the Rabai church mission station and demanded the surrender of certain runaways who had taken refuge at the station, The missionaries refused to give them up.
The company's agents, therefore, in order to avoid a collision, paid $25 for each slave they were unable to return to the owners. The English consul has issued a proclamation warning all British subjects in Zanzibar that they will be liable to seven years' imprisonment if they enter into contracts for slave labor. The British traders have made a united protest against the order. They say that slave labor is the only kind of labor obtainable in Zanzibar, and that if this is cut off all work must be stopped. In view of this protest the consul will suspend the enforcement the proclamation pending instructions from Lord Salisbury.
The secretary of the English East Africa Company denies the authenticity of a story from Zanzibar about an agreement between the company and the Sultan and the Arab slave dealers. He says no such agreement has been made. He further says that the only action of Agent Mackenzie in regard to slaves has been to pay for the liberation of 1,400 slaves.

Hewever, they all signed the articles of the Alene, and ostensibly shipped as seamen on her. They were specially admonished not to say that they were tound for Hayti, but to take particular pains to inform inquirers that they were bound for Kingston, Jamaica, to bring up to New York the steamer Arden, one of the company's ships sailors, now undergoing repairs at that port.

When he did open the package he found a letter written by Pim, Forwood telling him that the crew was shipped for the purpose of bringing up to New York the steamer Haytian Republic, on behalf of the government. The letter went on to say: "We hand you a delivery order for the steamer and a letter from the Haytian minister. From Kingston you will go with your crew in the Arran, which boat will stay at Port au Prince as long as necessary.
We have promised four days, so that you will always have a British ship by your side ready for sea, and in case of any hitch order our agent, John Pieters, who will advise you of a means of returning to Jamaica. This work you are going on is on our behalf as agents of the minister. All we ask you is to look upon it as any other Atlas Company's work." MINISTER PRESTON'S LETTER.

An American Brigantine Seized and Forced to Pay an Unjust Fine. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. The brigantine Josefa, which arrived at this port Tuesday from Montego bay, Jamaica, brings news of an outrage suffered by that vessel at the hands of the Spanish government. While discharging cargo on her outward trip from New York at Arroyo, Porto Rico, the Spanish custom officials discovered that twenty packages of corn starch, which were marked on the vessel's manifest, were missing. After an extended search the goods could not be found and the vessel was seized by the Spanish authorities, who held her until a fine of $4,000 was paid, although the value of the goods in question did not exceed $20.
The master and crew were forced to suffer many indignities at the hands of the Governor of the island and officials acting under his authority. The authorities offered to settle the matter if the captain of the vessel could satisfactorily explain the whereabouts of the missing packages. After the fine had been paid it was ascertained that the missing goods were delivered, by mistake, on board the ship Josephus, which lay next to the Josefa, in New York, but were placed on the Josefa's manifest. Explanation was made to the Spanish authorities and the return of the fine was requested, but was refused, and the vessel left Porto Rico to load cargo elsewhere for this city. James Brott.
of New York, managing owner of the Josefa, has Alled a complaint against the Spanish government with Secretary Bayard, and asked that his immediate attention shall be given to the matter. It will be urged that the war ships Galena and Yantic shall be ordered to continue their cruise to Porto Rico, and summarily secure redress for the imposition suffered by the Josefa. HE CAUGHT THE GOOSE. The Cause of a Riot Between Russians and Americans in Dakota. SIOUX CITY, Dec.
serious riot 00- curred this morning near Tripp, between Russian Mennonites and Americans. A public sale was held at the farm of a Russian named Sink, and an American farmer named Merchant purchased a dozen chickens. When ready to start home he found two chickens missing and complained to Sink, who told him to take something of equal value. He caught a goose and started home, but was overtaken by a party of eight Russians, who claimed the goose as their property. A wrangle ensued that attracted others to the scene, and soon a general fight was in progress, in which some twenty men were engaged, with the Russians as the aggressors.
Two brothers named Johnson, who were passing, joined in the melee with knives. A Russian named Mayer was stabbed, and he in turn split Charles Johnson's head with a neck yoke, inflicting a fatal injury. The same weapon broke the arm of George Johnson, and the knives were used to slash up three other Russians badly, but not fatally. The Americans found the force opposing them too strong and withdrew from the field. The wounded Russians were taken care of by their companions, and nothing can be learned from them owing to their clannish customs.
The affair has created the most intense excitement in the neighborhood, where the majority of the settlers are Russians. Officers are now investigating. The Vesuvius's Trial of Speed.
