delightirg the patrons of the National Theater
this week. Lester Wallack's interesting play of
"Rcsedale, or the Rifle Ball." in which Mana
appear, has been brought out in capitai style.
Mr. Saville's acting as ''Eliot Gray" is warmly
praised, and Mrs. Saville has q role which just
suits her in ''ROsa Leigh" The Burberry
Kobb" of yining Bowers is immense, particu.
larly the dancing scene in the last act. Miss
Vernon, Miss Stanley, Mrs. Chester, Mr.. Thorn,
and MIR. Metkiff, ell are good in their respective
roles, and, take it altogether, "Rosedale'' is the
success OF the season SO far.

the leading figure, is intensely funny, and all
this the patrons of the house have, in addition
to the comicalties of Dick Parker, Yves ley, and
other popular performers.

DERkR.-Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Vernon,
OF the fifth precinct, proceeded to the drinking
house kept by John Shea, at the corner OF
Mary avenue and Louise alley, and arrested
a colOred man employed by Shea, named Abncr

o celored man named Philip Timbers, who said
he knew Gentry in Virginia, and that he Is
fugitive from justice, having broken out of the
Culpeper county Jail last summer where he was
confined to await his trial ON the charge of
numbering q c0lOred man named Bill Brown,
about last Christmas day, by cutting his throat.
The prisoner was turned over to chief OF detec-
tiyes ClarvOe, who now has him in charge, and
will return him 10 the Virginia authorities on
presentation OF the proper papers. Since his
commitment the prisoner has been confronted
by his accuSer, who fully recosni yes him; but
Gentry denies all know ledge OF the act, or that
he IL the man. The officers have no doubt OF
the correctness of Timber's story, and Chief
Clarvoe telegraphed to the officers at Culpeper
