SEhris and Lcna.1

On the second evening of the entertain
ment given here by Messrs Baker and Far
ron, assisted by the Griswold Opera House
company Of Troy, N. y, the Opera House
was well filled by large and apprcciatve
audience. The interest felt by the audience
throughout the entire evening was of the
most hearty and apprecativc kind, and be-
tokencd unbounded satisfaction. To come
down to the nutshell of the matter, this
troupe is one of the very best that Rutland
has seen for many long year. All are de-
lighted who have attended, and were they
to stay q week longer, we would almost
guarantee them crowded houses every night.
TO Baker and Farron belong the principal
credit of the success made in the drama.
Their songs and dances, to say nothing
of the splendid acting of each, are enough
to attract the most learned lovers of music
or please the most satiated There is
something inexpressibly pleasing in the
very tones of "rim Flahertys = voice,
whether singing or speaking, and we pro-
nounce him par ercel,ence in either capacity
as Z" Farron" or the Dutch blonde-al-
though he sinks SO far the individuality Of

difficult to recognize either of the tire
wi lie he is playing the tolher His song
of :" Tim Flaherty" is an Irish gem of
rare merit, and he sings it TO charm,
/" bad luck to him."
Baker, as the bluff, honest Dutchman, is
host Tor any establishment his acting is
the perfection of nature, his brogue is ma
ture itself, and he looks as if he had Just
landed from the 'faderland. Then take
the two together and the ''trouble' begins
right away. Their voices blend harmoni-
ously in song, while their whole appear

They cannot fail to be known rs lcadinl

There were some misapprehcnsions OF
the facts in the report in The GLOBE OF
the fortunate escape from collision on
the Rutland Railroad. a telegram was
sent from st. Adams TO the conductor OF
the gravel train at Pittsford to ''run Wild
and set off at Humphreys switch, and let
the Sew York train pass, and then come
into Rutland The conductor received
this and answered correct to the train
dispatcher at st. Adams. The operator at
pittsford in copying the order wrote run
wild into Rutland and gave it to the con
iuctor-who obeycd it and did "run
Wild into Rutland, and nearly caused q
serious collision The train dispatcher at
st. Adams is therefore free of all blame in
the matter, and it rests entirely upon the
operator at pittsford who gave Il wrong
copy, and upon the conductor who know
ing the original dispatch, and answering
that he understood il correctly, that he did
not follow the Instructions he originally re-
ceiycd.

HUNTINGTON. L. L, Nov. ID:
Mysterious Murder.

NEWTON, n. j., Nov. 49,
Mrs. Joseph Selch, widow, owning and
occupying a small place in this town, was
murdered this morning with AN axe. Her
clothing was saturated with kerosene, her
body nearly consumed and the house on
fire. When it was discovered, the axe,
with blood and hair, and small piece of
the skull and brains, and an empty kero-
sene can were found in the room
There was large pool of blood on the
floor. A hole had been burned through
the floor, through which the chared re-
mains of the body had fallen into the Gel
lar. The skull showed two cuts with an
axe. No suspicion so far rests on anyone,
and no motive can be conceived of except
plumber, as the house had been ransacked.

A Gas WAR.-Albany has a gas war.
Not long ago a Peoples Gas Company was
organized in that city to supply houses in
the northern section. After il had been
fully organized it consolidated with the
old gas company monopoly much to the
disgust Of those who had expected that the
twogas companies would be in competition.
The residents Of the upper part of the city
are row loudly complaining that their bills
for October are double what they have
been in previous years, and the new com
pany, which supplies this section of the
city, is being daily heaped with curses in
consequences. The Albany Eapyess says :
"Auother such month as the last will in
sure the holding of an indignation meeting
in the northern part of the city, and will
induce hundreds Of families to experiment
