Escsped frsm Sing Sing.

Mr.. Dominick Murray appeared AGAIN
last night in tho new and fascinating sen.
sation Of Escaped from Sing Sing and
again displayed his wonderful versatility OF
dramatic talent by dellneating tive distinct
characters in that play.
He is periec. in his imrersoration and
that is why so many people flock TO the St.
Charles TO see him night after night. AS
has been remarked before, every phase of
life is portrayed in the piece. and the sup
por: OF the leading actor is rendered easy
by the natural representations Of lower life
in which some OF the stock company excel.
Miss Amelia Waugh is entitled 20 COM

End Of the Bar Blockade.

Captain c. w. Howell. of the engineer
corps. United States army, writes US. dating
United States Engineers Office. New o.
Leans. March u. 6 Z. NJ, as follows:
The bar blockade was raised at , F. NJ
to-day. by tie dredgeboats E5sayon and
McAlester. towing OFT and to sea the steamer
VanGaia.
After removing the Vandslia, the dredge.
boats materially deepened the channel.
now ported seventeen feet deep at ex-
treme low tide. and at its narrowest point,
for that depth ninety feet wide. Al! vessels
detained by the blockade can now cross the
bar without trouble. The dredgeboats Will
be retained en- the bar deepening the chan
mel. ana to prevent further attempts to
blockade.
A significant point is made in the con-
Guiding sentence Of Captain Howell's note.
which will etfectuauy prevent any future
attempts to blockade by the negligence or
carelessness of parties connected with the
merchant marine service.

remarked that a police officer armed with
deadly weapons ought II be very careful,
and reflect seriously upon the necessity Of
using them. l. was difficult question to

no Otiense which deserved death, although
he had beaten and disabled the policeman

the large powers vested in the police com
missiyners, who could correct any uncalled

and also looking TO the conflict OF evidence,
he would give Traverser the benefit Of the
