FIFTH EDITION
Mfllard Club Concert.

Despite the fact that last evening was
one Of the most inclement which we
have experienced during the present
year, an audiencsof about 500 persons
assembled at the Opera House to wit
ness the repetition of "Trial by Jury, +"
by the Millard Club. The programme
was divided into two parts, the first
consisting Of a selection OF Chcruses
and qnartettes and the second of the
cantata itself.
The choruses were all given with the
effect and accuracy which is distin-
gushing feature of all the clubs pro-
ductions. A four part song entitled "a
Franklyn's Dogge leped over style"
was admirably sung by Messrs. Lob
dell, Barber, Rhoads and Stone. The
most persistent efforts on the part Of the
audience failed, however, to obtain q
repetition.
The vocal waltz by Misses Adde
Virginia Conner and Messrs. Rhoads
and Ogle was also highly enjoyed.
The curtain then rose upon "Trial
by jury" We have before described
the opera and doubtless the readers of
the REPUBLICAN are sufficiently well
acquainted with it to waive any further
remarks as to its plot, &c. Mr.. Stone
as the Judge was fully equal to any
ohr, who could be found to undertake
the position either here or elsewhere.
Mr.. Lobdell representing the inhuman
defendant deserves great credit as
much for his much enduring martyr
dom at the hands Of the usher as his
excellent a,ting.
To Mr.. Howell, as the usher, must
be awarded TIE palm. His actions were
comical in the extreme throughout the
whole performance. His familiarity
with the Judge, hostility toward the
defendant, extravagant courtesy to the
bridesmaids and bride, watchful care
over the most troublesome of juries,
and general air of propretorship OF the
whole court, aIe all highly amusing,
and tend toward making his actions as
a whole, one of the most excellent
pieces of comedy which We have ever
witnessed.
Mr.. Cameron, as counsel for plaintiff,
is also entitled to the highest praise.
His original manner of handing up
references, although very disastrous
toward law books, is certainly mark
of great mind, with a hearty contempt
of tho slow and methodical manner of
our present legal profession. Mr..
Jones, as the sympathetic and inquisi-
tive foreman, was also very good. Mrs.
Taylor, as the plaintiff, steps at once to
the front rank, even among such excep-
tionably good performers as the actors of
last evening. And as to the brides
maids--well words fail to convey our
appreciation of their beautiful appear.
ance. Of course the success of the
whole affair would be extremely doubt.
full without Mr.. Rhoads as Director and
Mr.. Fullmer as pianist. Considered
what success it proved to be some
idea may be formed Of the praise due.

Rescae OF the Barred Miners.

WILKEsBARRB. Pa, April 2S.-The
entombed miners at Sugar Notch wsre
rescued at eight o'clock this mo .nsng
Yesterday the rescuing party succeeded
in drilling hole through to the lower
part of the mine, thus showing that il
was only necessary to drive a few feet
further TO effect an opening in to the
gangway. Work was then necessarily
performed slowly and carefully, al
there were indications of fire damp,
which necesstated the driving and
cutting of the coal with the pick alone
The opening was effected at eight o.
clock, and Mine Superintendent Smith
was the first to enter. He found por
tion of the men cooking a breakfast o
mule steak, taken from the mule which
the boy who was sent to warn the Iner
of the impending disaster had fortu
nately taken with him, and which was
killed on the second day of the coniine
ment. The balance Of the party wer.
engaged in changing the direction Of
an air course. A stream of water run,
ming through the mine quenched theii
thirst. Very little was said, and the
entire party used all possible dispatch
in getting out of the mine, reaching
the surface shortly after nine O'Clock.
The crowd that had assembled was
very enthusiastic, and repeatedly
cheered the rescued men and their
plucky deliverers. The men were then
sent to their homes.
They state that during Saturday and
Sunday they could hear the rescuing
party firing blasts, and when the blast
ing ceased they believed the work had
been stopped and they were abandon.
ed to their fate They also say they
could have subsisted at least two weeks
longer, had it been necessary, upon
their supply of jerked mule meat. Too
much praise cannot be awarded to the
brave men who accomplished the great
work of driving and timbering pass
age way 100 feet through rock, slate
and coal in the space Of four days and
nights, to the bosses directing the
work, and to the engineering skill dis
played in locating and directing the
openings.
The men when released had been con-
fined five aud halfdays. They stood
the long confinement well. The boy
upon reaching the surface leaped over
the enclosure at the mouth of the ope
ming and ran rapidly homrward.
One hundred dollars was presented
to each Of the rescued miners to-day by
the stockholders of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company, through
President Charles Parrish. A concert
for the benefit Of the men will be given
at Music Hall tomorrow. Charles Haw
kins, one of their number, will relate
the story of their clptivity. The total
receipts will he given to them, as all
expenses have been paid.

The Police COure,

Matthew Macklem, a butcher, who
has been in the habit Of selling meat to
residents of Shallcross avenue and vi
cinity, was arragned upon charge Of
illegally disposing Of meat within the
city limits. A gentleman named For
rest, butcher Of Christiana hundred.
was the complainant. The defendant,
in his remarks before His Honor, said
that he had been engaged in that bust
ness for years, and that he had been
informed that the law when passed
would not be binding upon him, as he
never entered within a mile OF any
market house. He charged Mr.. Forrest
as being actuated by selfish motives,
endeavoring to pull him down so that
his own business might be built, up.
The Mayor informed the defendant that
the case had been already proven and
he would have to impose fine of s.. 90
and cost.
Solomon Schofeld, colored man
whose weakness to- confscating articles
not belonging to him, is becoming pro-
verbal in criminal circles, was the next
prisoner. This time he was charged
with stealing a watch and chain and
four dollars in money from a fellow
workman named William Davis. Solo
mon had been staying with William,
who lives 10y himself at Claymont street
and Vandever avenue, and as William
states, paid no board but always put in
appearance about meal time. On SuN-
day evening the prisoner and plaintiff
went to bsd about eleven o'clock, and
about four o'clock next morning awoke
up and found Solomon gone, and also
about four dollars in money and sill
yer watch, and some clothing. Pur-
suit was at once made and William
came up with Solomon at Chester where
he had him arrested. Over three
dollars of the money that was sto-
len was recovered, as was also the
watch and clothing. Solomon was
brought to this city by William. Solo
mon was held in 5000 bail for his ap-
pearance at court.

O'Clock colored boy about twelve

"AIIArOund the World"

Knowing that the following descrip-
tion OF DR.. Appleton's lectures may
have escaped the notice of many of the
readers of the REPUBLICAN, We venture
to reprint it from one Of our last week $
issues.
"Starting out from the West Phila-
delphia depot, the speaker carried US,
in thought, across the continent to our
Western coast. We were given some
idea of the long voyage on the Pacific,
and Of the peculiar sensation the speak
er experienced when he reached that
point in mid-ocean, when one day is
lost out of the calendar. We then had
very humorous account of the way
in which the Doctor was lost in one OF
the cities of Japan. Next we stood
with him on one of the heights of the
Himalaya mountains, and listened with
great pleasure to tie vivid description
lie gave us of the wonders of that far
away land. Pushing on from place to
place, he took us to see the Holy Land,
AMI gave US, with much feeling, his
experience there. Passing next through
Europe, stopping for some time in En-
gland, and there taking the steamer
for home, he brought us back again to
our own shores"
Being the .resh and racy account of
the speakers own experience in foreign
lands, this lecture embraces unusual
opportunity Of amusement and intor-
nation in one-and we can assure the
audience of "a delightful evening. There
will be prelude promptly at o'clsc k
of several choice musical selections
given by a double quartette of male
voices.
