AN" ACCOMMODATING RAILROAD.
The Peoria, Illinois, Rerieso is re-
sponsible for the following.
In these days of great complaints
against the extdrtion. of railroads it is
refreshing to hear of corporations that
study the comfort of their passengers.
Such a one, according to j. w. Parker,
is the twenty miles of road from Jack
sonville to Waverly. A lady wished
to get off the train to see a neighbor.
They stopped the cars fifteen minutes
until she went up anu found her
friends at home. Then she made up
her mind that she would stay there;
whereup0n the conductor and brake
man seized her trunk and carried it to
the house, distance about quarter of
a mile. For this piece of politeness
the lady returned her thanks and
peck of apples. The railroad men ac-
cepted both, and returning, divided
the apples among the passengers.
One Of the passengers had note that
wasOverdue on farmer near the track.
The conductor stopped the train, hunt
ed up the man, they sat down, reck-,
0ned the interest, paid the money, and
the happy recipient got on the train
again and it proceeded on it's way.
By this time the apples presented by
the lady had been consumed, and as
the train was passing an orchard the
conductor stopped the train for third
time to allow the passengers time to
fill their pockets. In answer to re-
marks that 1t was an eurinently ac-
communicating road, he replied; ''This
IL, tile accommodation train, and we do
about as the majority want us to do.
If they say stop, why, we STOP This
is an actual occurrence. Can any 9TH
er place show so accommodating set
of railway officials.

Miss Eliza OsCounor.

The complimentary benefit rendered by
the Shakespeare club to this promising
young actress took place on Monday night,
at the St. Charles Theatre. 1t was an ap-
parent success to all concerned. The fair
beneficiary and her friends could not have
desired more brilliant audience. The St.
Charles was never more radiant, nor more
crowded with the fair wives and daughters
of the Crescent City; and never before have
we witnessed more grand displays of floral
gifts than were showered upon Miss O'Con-
nor during the progress Of the evening S
performance.
The play was that beautiful production
Of real poets brain, entitled "Ingomar,
the Barbarian" Its leading characters
abound in tender and noble feelings. and
upon this occasion they were in rare de-
gree developed by the artists of the evening.
Miss O'Connor personated Pnrthenia. the
gentle, devoted daughter and true woman !;
and Mr.. T. O'Neill played the part of Ingo-
mar, the leader Of tribe of barbarians,
yet a man endowed, by the creative genius
Of poets mind, with the noblest traits
that adOrn true man.
The two characters are strongly drawn,
and when properly portrayed are we'll cal
culated to excite the fixed attention of an
intelligent audience. There is nothing I'M
natural in the story of the play, and conse-
quently the interest strengthens in it as it
progresses to a conclusion, and the author
has had the good sense to give it a pleasant
ending. We have frequently seen this piece
ties were never so apparent to us as on last
Monday evening.
The Parthenia of Miss OConnor and the
Inyomar of Mr.. O'Neill were most &C
ceptable performances. If the Polidor of
Mr.. E. A. Cowen is not to be admired, it is
not because the actor is not up in his part.
1t is because the author had drawn detest-
able character, and it is the actors business
to represent just such character. 1t
must be conceded that Mr.. Cowen sue
ceeded in throwing a good deal of energy
in the character. The Myrou of Mr.. Stumpf
though fair performance, perhaps, for an
amateur, might be regarded as lacking in
energy at times. He might also have been
thought excessively timid for an armorer.
Miss Cooks Actea, the wife of byron, was
a deal holder than Mr., Stumpfs byron.
Actea did not whine and drawl out her
words, but spoke them trippingly on the
tongue, not meaning to overstep the mod
esty of nature. Miss Lou Hall made quite
a sprightly Thcono, and with more to do
would doubtless have better demonstrated
her power for acting. Messrs. Casey,
Whitaker, Mattill, Forstall, Wilson, Onor-
alto, Given, Burk, Mathers, and Mullen were
assigned parts upon this occasion, and
strutted their brief hour upon the stage of
the St. Charles, helping to make up the en-
tertainment that ended so brilliantly.

A WARNING TO POLICEMEN.-Theh handy
knights Of the club will now take warning
from the fact that a jury yesterday returned
verdict of guilty against Brown, Fink and
Coukhlin for maltreating Martin Long when
a prisoner in their hands. The evidence
was considered very conclusive. Vankirk,
tried with the others, was found not guilty.
The court increased the bonds to one thou
sand dollars each. They will probably re-
ceive sentence next Friday. When police
man feels inclined to club prisoner. or any
one else, he should first think of the fate of
his recent comrades
