FANCHoN.-Maggie Mitchell needs no ex-
tended notice from us this morning for her rem
dering of the character that has given her name
and fame. Two years ago we printed out the
particular scenes that stood out from her gen.
eral performance, like the flashing of diamonds
in eirclet of Jewels, and the same criticism
holds good again. The immense audience that
packed the theatre were fascinated with the
witchery of her shadow dance, charmed with
the coquetry of her wooing, felt stirred with an
ger at her treatment by the peasants at the fes-
tival, were moved to grief by her agony at the
thought of the disgrace she had inflicted on
Landry, and by the quiet pathos of her inter-
view with Farmer Barbeaud. Tears succeed
ed laughter as April showers follow the sun
shine. Ryer was very good as Farmer Bar
beaud, and Harris and jackson did not dis
please as Landry and Didier. Tonight the
company play in Salem.

Chi'd-kurdsyer Hung By a MOO Shooting


CHICAGO, July "a special from watseka
lroquois county, Illinois, says a crowd of citi-
zens from that town and surrounding country, TO
the number Of nearly one thousand, including
men, women and children, proceeded % the ja1

tan Mera, who brutality murdered his son, aged
ten years, and proceeded with him 20 a cOnve-
nient place, where, after giving him twenty
minutes 20 pray, rope was placed around his
neck, thrown over the Limb OF a .nee,
and hundreds Of ready hands hauled him
up and held him until he was dead.
The leader of the party was Dr. Dariels, Of CHI
man, and he and his abettOrs claim that Mera
could only have been convicted Of manslaaR hter,
and for that reason they were justified in putting
the arch fend beyond the reach of mercy. Mera,
before his death, renounced Masonry and re-
adopted Catholicism.

The KukIux Trials I'm Mississippi.

MEMPHIS, July GA special dispatch last
evening TO the Ardidpche, from Oxford, saws:
IN the Kuklux cases the closing argument for
the defence was resumed by Colonel Doud. He
said the Indictment was murder Of citizens Of
the State OF Mississippi by citizens OF the same
State. he said that the power to try a case of
that kind was given by the people 70 the State
governments, before the formation OF the Con-
stitutioR Of the United States. BE said the frst
count In the Indictment, which charged the
defendants with murder, by conspiracy and
in disguise, was founded upon the prohibitiEe
powers of the United States, and not in the
grant of power 70 the Government The second
count was founded on the Civil Rights Bill and
Enforcement Act. He contended that an i'm
dictment founded on the prohibiting power In
the constitution was absurd, and said the whole
legislation OF Congress on the Civil Rights Bin
and the Enforcement Law, was directed % the
protection of the citizens Of the United States,
and not - persons.
Judge Hills held that life and liberty among
communities was intended TO be secured under
the amended constitution, and when two or
more persons conspire together for their depri-
walton TO citizen of the United States il was q
violation of the enforcement act.
. Ten OF the prisoners were released on bail.
The others did not succeed in obtaining bail.
Col. Iamar's name was restored TO the roll OF
the court, on motion of the District Attorney.
