ander Dumas "Monsier Alphonse" This comedy
is peculiarly Frenchy in Its construction, and IN
many instances Is the most singular dramatic pro-
duction Of q season which has been prolific of
| stage novelties. The play requires but one set
scene and the action takes place one afternoon,
the drdmdtis persona being but nine in number.
The central figure is . child and this character Is
assumed in New York by the only daughter Of the
famous Matilda Heron. Here IT viii be acted by
little Sadie Vivian, who recently developed so
much precocty as to attract Mr.. Days attention.

Harkins, Mr.. VIM. Davidge, the Shaksperlan
comedian; Mr.. Geo. Psrkes, Mr.. owen Fawcett,

edged Washington belle; Miss Minnie Conway,
the beautiful daughter OF Mrs. F. B. Conway,
msnageress Of the Brooklyn theater; Miss Nellie

Ake the sudden discovery OF al oasis, with o soda
fountain attached, in o bllstering, bald-headed

in the courtroom at the moment succeeding the
announcement would require q man charged with

on the back seats arose simultaneously and were
just in the act of waving q hearty 4" hurrah" with
their beavers when the portly doorkeeper thun-
dered silence" and the shout expired in o gig
gle, Then the front row became nervously elated
and sEayed to and fro with the strenuous efforts
OF those hberty-lovIng people to suppress an
earnest desire to explode in the classical and Po
lsh phrase Of Cleopatra, " Bullyock for him."

tions were systematically suppressed by the

A StupendOus Theft.

Since Samson carried off, upon his broad
shoulders, the gates of GAIA, we have had no
record of so stupendOus a theft as that per-
petrated by a BrOoklynite, who undertook
to appropriate canal boat and seven thOus-
and bushels of grain, stored within its capa-
cions bowels. The giant plunderer was left
in charge of the boat by It's owner, his
brother. Instead of watching it vigilantly
he hailed tug and had it lowed to Brooklyn,
where he commenced to unload the cereal
treasure, with the intention of selling it,
sinking the boat, and decamping. In the
midst of his agricultural pursuits-his crop
raising-he was surprised and led into cap
tivity. And this was the way the matter
was disposed Of in court
Judge-What have you to say for your
self, Callahan
Callahan (smling)-Nothing
Judge Moore-Weli, Callahan, y0u have
been pretty extensively engaged in the grain
trade.
Callahan--It is the first time, sir.
Judge MOore-Yes, but it was not legiti-
mate trade with you. When people engage
in the grain trade generally, they buy their
grain and pay for it you stole canal-boat
and seven thousand bushels of grain belong
ing to another man. Now, since you came
over to Brooklyn, and exhibited such pref
erence for this place, l propose that you re-
main here as long as the law allows. You
go to the penitentiary for four years and
eleven months.

Fearful Explosion.
Six Men Badly Injured.

Last evening abont 9 o'clock, larg,
crowd of idlers, possessed of an inquirins
turn of mind, were gathered round ant
about Clay Statue, witnessing the expert
ments of George Newmarch, a peddlar o.
Prof. F. P. Beck's KEROSENE Oil Rectifier, the
same consisting of a powder, marked on the
box poisonous, which, when poured into a
can of common oil, is said to insure COM
plete safety from anything like explosion.
The first part Of the experiment proved
successful, but second application of oil to
powder already mixed with that in tin can
proved an overdose, and was followed by a
fearful explosion, like the report of cannon
An immense crowd had gathered at the
scene of action, and the consequences were
fearful, resulting in serious if not fatal nju-
ries to the pedlar, who resides at No. III
Baronne street, and severely injured five of
the spectators. The pedlar took fire below
the waist, the flames rapidly ascending
to his head spreading along the arms.
Mad with pain he rushed from his stand,
the flames all the while famed by
the wind and causing an appearance ter
rible in the extreme, out Canal street to the
fruit store, No. 100. At this point, two gen
tlemen, Mr.. J. X. Small, and party whose
name could not be ascertained, seized for
chile hO.d, and almost in nude condition.
assisted him into carriage He was then
driven to his residence.
The five unfortunate spectators were as
sisted to the store of Messrs Fredrickson &

The following are their names Emanuel

Later
information received about IL o'clock last
evening. elected the fact that George New
march, E. Cohen and Charles Lalley, who
were conveyed to the Charity Hospital,
were doing well. 1t seems that Newmarket.
who was out of employment, was approached
by a man bearing the name of Hansey, who
suggested that as he had nothing to do he
had better become an agent for the sale of
the powder. He accepted and made his
first experiment las. evening. with the
results chrOnicled above.
