The Lingards at the Opera House Last
Night.
Mr.. Dalziel in ssLes Fourchambaut'' had
substantial material out of which to produce
a comedy, and consequently the play is an
absorbing drama fraught with interest
throug bout, intensifying Till it eliminates in
one OF the shortest, quickest and most
effective acts of any play. And like "Ju-
jules" it abounds in clever dialogue, smart
rep1rtee and outbursts OF passion and fine
sentiment expressed in good language
There are many fine situations which give
ample scope to good cast, all working up
admirably to most skilfully wrought de-
movement in the fifth act.
Ihe play, however, would be considerably
improved If few erasures were made in the
hrst act of Objectionable passages. There
are just few sentences of the very broadcast
which do no earthly good, but mar what
would otherwise be great improvement up
on the majoritysof dramas of the French
school. AS Marie Letteller, Alice Lingard
has part which fully suits her, and her
wonderful versatility enables her to portray
most faithfully and powerfully every phase
OF emotion incidental to the contrasting stu
atoms developed by the action of the play.
Mr.. Horace Lingard's makeup as Leopold
fourcfambaut was unexceptional and his
acting admirable. Miss Dickie Lineard was
naiyete itself-piq quaint, saucy, loving-a
true hearted, good principled, but self-willed
young lady. Geo. F. De We're was an ex-
cellent Mons. Bernard and the support was
also very acceptable, with the exception of
II. Murray as Mons Fourchambaut, chrr-
acter wholly beyond his powers. Too much
praise cannot be given to Mrs Lingard; in
the fourth act when Leopold, by insinuation.
discleses the baseness of his passion, she
was perfectly terrible in her indignation and
anger, and again, when she comforts Nine.
Fourchambaut, the look of virtuous scorn.
contempt, anger, showed the immensely of
her power.
The inimitable Lingard sketches finished
the performance.
unable to give the space that the entertain
ment produced by the Lingards deserved.
On that occasion w. D. Dalziel's new three
act comedy, Jujubes, was produced for the
first time, and, while we still adhere to our
opinion that it is not in itself sufficiently
long to compose an entire evenings enter
talnment, there is very little doubt but that
1t has secured an almost unprecedented sue
cess. When piece is vociferously honored
by call at the end of each act, it is safe to
say that that piece is hit, and that the
author has turned out something a little
beyond the common. In this, let all
honor be given to Mr.. Dalzeil. He has
written perhaps one of the most amusing
sketches ever produced on the American
stage, and one which will undoubtedly give
MIN much prominence in the country. The
leading parts of the piece were taken by VIM.
Horace Llngard and charming Miss Dickie
Llngard They both admirably sustained
their parts, and the support was good. We
understand that "Jujubes" is to be produced
at the Academy of Music, Minneapolis, on
Friday night. To those who love hearty
laugh we say go and see it.

genuine Irish wit turned the laugh on the
astute attorney at every passage of arms.
Witness hesitated at one time to repeat
the words used by Egan.
Mr.. Pierce Oh, go ahead, You are used
to such language.
Mr.. O'Bren-W Well, you hadn't better
make use of them to him.
Mr.. Pierce then fired up, and Mr.. O'Brien
said he objected to Pierce making farce of
the investigation.
During the examination of this witness.
Attorney Pierce was considerably riled, and
the witness was provokingly polite and e1-
ceedingly suave.

farmer, was next called. He corroborated
the foregoing witnesses in every particular.
OFFICER oAsEY's STORY.
The next witness was the accused. He
testified in effect to all that had been said by
the other witnesses for defense. Egan
called him a d-headed s-n of BIB.
Egan struck him three times. The witness
showed him away, and he fell against the
counter. Egan got up and grabbed witness,
tore his shirt and collar, then witness struck
him with the back of his hand,
but Egan didn't fall. Outside of
saloon Egan fell on sidewalk, and witness
was pulled down with him. Witness wasn't
on duty that night. Witness had no billy
with him. Witness couldn't have given
Eagan black eye. When witness got Eagan
| home and in his house he heard him fall
! down.
Officer Close was sworn. His testimony
was introduced to show that Doyle's saloon
was closed at 1870 o'clock, and he met Casey
at 10 o'clock and he was sober,
Capt. Clark gave Officer Casey good
character.
| The case for the defense rested.
| Mr.. Pierce here stated that McAndrews
hadn't appeared, and wanted him arrested
and produced.
Mr. O'Brien said ample time had been
given the prosecution to produce their wit
nessess, and he claimed that the case should
be now and at once closed.

THE LIGHTNING STROKE
Which Occasioned an Inquest on the b
of John X eifer

Which Occasioned an Inquest on the Body
of John Keifer.
Coroner Stein yesterday morning held an
inquest on the remains of John Keifer, who
was killed by lightning as recorded in the
GLOBE of yesterday. The following jury
were sworn: Frank Jansen, foreman, Peter
Ellsworth. Frank Lepsa, Henry Haaka, Will
liam Kruger, John Schafer
The first witness sworn was Thomas
Raucher, who stated that he and deceased
started out together Tuesday about
o'clock to go duck hunting. They
were about mile from Pickerel
lake. 1t came over very dark and it light
ened badly; he was about twenty-five or
thirty feet from deceased and could not see
him; he whistled and deceased whistled
back. He, witness, was struck by lightning
and fell to the ground, where he lay peroap3
minute; he got up and felt his head ache
badly; looked around for deceased when he
saw bare leg sticking up; he ran to the
road where were several farmers with their
teams; told George Duford, one of the farm
ers, and he went with witness where de-
ceased lay. My gun was loaded and is now
in the possession of Louis Nutzmann.
George Duford sworn, said he saw de-
ceased about 8 o'clock Tuesday; wit
ness was carrying a load of hay
from Backlog; saw Thomas Raucher rum
ming to me, shouting man asshot himself
ran over and saw deceased lying with all
his clothing off; his clothes were on fire; 1
quenched the fire; saw his watch, revolver
and gun lying by his side; fastened to town
to notify the coroner.
Louis Nutzmann said he saw two men near
the railroad bridge; saw the lightning, and
then saw deceased lying on the ground with
his clothing on fire; saw the watch, the re
volver. and the gun in the hands of Raucher:
it was loaded; it is no " in my possession.
This was all the evidence taken, and the
jury, after few MOI nents deliberation,
brought in verdict that deceased died from
stl oke of lightning.
The only marks on the body of deceased
were scalp wound extending from the
temple over to the back of the lsead, and q
powder burn on the loin from the e, yplosion
OF the powder flask which had burst to
pieces. Neither the gun nor the piston had
exploded, the charges still remaining in the. m.
Deceased would have been % years of age
if ne had lived till yesterday, the 10th.

At this Corners pulled out his trusty re-
volver and discharged two shots at Kosey.
Neither proved effective, and before Conn-rs
could send an odd shot, lucky, at his
antagonist, bystanders interfered and drew
the belligerents out of harmful reach of
each other. After this both parties were iu-
duced to get out of the saloon and 90 qui-
city home, or secrete themselves somewhere.
Captain Clark got on to it, though every
means was used to keep it from the police,
and started out after the offenders at an
early hour this morning.
