Reorganization plan for American Rapid Telegraph Company
Bondholders circle a reorganization to revive the American Rapid Telegraph as a telegraph competitor. The plan proposes forming a company to acquire property and franchises, issuing stock at par to bondholders, and operating 2600 miles of poles with thousands of miles of wire from Boston to Chicago. Estimated leasing rates suggest substantial revenue potential and possible expansion beyond a pure telegraph business.

Salvinis New Boston Run At Bowdoin Square Theatre
Robert B. Mantell staged two plays at Bowdoin Square last night both new to Boston. Parrhasius surprises with bold, thoughtful drama while La Tosca remains grisly by comparison. The cast showed strength though one actress’s voice hindered the show.

Mantell Stars in The Louisianian and Parrhasius Review
The Louisianian by Edward M. Alfriend and Parrhasius a one act tragedy by Espy Williams receive mixed notices. Louis Armand’s infatuation with a French woman leads to forged marriage and tragedy with a later revival twist. Mantell’s performance earns praise though the piece is faulted for amateurish construction and tedious dialogue. Behrens and Bruning receive commendation for strong turns. Parrhasius leaves a lasting impression, prompting audience discussion. Other productions including Monbars and The Corsican Brothers are noted with growing popularity for 1492 and Don Caesar de Bazan roars at Boston Theatre.
