Lecture-Gen neral Amusements.
Another packed house was delighted
with Maggie Mitchell, last night, in the
play of "LoIle," which is certainly her
best. II suits her much better than
"Fanchon" and is withal, delightful
little melo.drama "Lorle" is simple,
pure and attractive German maiden,
who captiyates "Rheinhardt," wan
deripg artist from the city. He has been
summing himself in the glances OF q
proud countess in the city, and turns
with relief TO the fresh country girl. She
has 'given the mitten" to a swain
named "Christof' and her father finally
consents to her union with "Rhein'
hardt." The first act closes as the latter
has hidden goodnight to his betrothed
and falls asleep, while smoking on the
porch.
The succeeding three acts are taken
nm with their married life in the city.
"Rheinhart" finds that "lorle" is not
suited to his sphere OF life. Her inno'
cent country ways, so different nom

Court and greets the p ince with out
stretched hands, and says she's glad to
know him, which fills "Rheinhardt"
with dismay. And then, TO cap the eli
max, he meets the Counties Ida" his
former love, and feels the flame re-
newed. Finally in moment OF passion,
he tells the Countess OF his love, and
that his marriage with "L9rle" was a
mistake. At this moment the latter en-
ters in time to overhear him, and the
curtain falls upon an exciting tableau.
In the next act, "Rheinhardt" browns

and tells "Lorle" separation Is In or

bear her home and "Rheinhardt" wan

ger to her bedside, where she is dying.
An affecting scene takes place, in which
CARBOHYDRATES vainly upbraids himself,
for "Lorle" dies.
The last act brings sudden change.
The curtain rises TO discover "Rhelu-

porch, where he was left in the first act.
He wakes to find it all a dream, as
"lorle" runs out to bid him good morn

THE CITY SEXTON.
The Opinion Of the Solicitor as to His He
moYal.

The Opinion of the Solicitor as to His He
moval.
At the last meeting OF Council, a reso-
luton was introduced asking the City
Solicitor to investigate rs to the proper
means Of removing Charles Heiser, the
city sexton, who was recently elected,
and who. it has since been found out, is
not OF age, and il removal is possible.
He handed in his report to Council last
evening, but il was not read, as the
time was otherwise taken up. In the
report he says:
SIN relation to the removal OF Mr..
Heiser from the discharge OF his duties
as City Sexton, such removal can only
be had in case OF quo warranto institut-
ed in the Circuit Court OF this county.
Under the Constitution OF this State,
Article 4, Section 4, none but voters can
hold any State, county or municipal Of
fee. 1t seems to be the law in England
that causes which disqualify the person
to be an officer will not authorize the
corporation to remove him, but he must
be ousted by quo Wd,rdnto, and the same
doctrine is approved in this country.
The reason given is, that one disquali-
fed is not, in law, corporate OF
ficer, and hence, cannot be removed AZ
such by the corporation itself.
The election OF a disqualified person
is void, and it has been decided that il
the law requires freeholders to be chosen
for certain officers, the election OF per
son not a freeholder is void. But if the
disqualified actually engages in the
discharge OF the office as is duly quail.
fled and properly elected, he would,
/ think, have to be ousted by .qto rar-
ranto. A new election should be held
and the party elected at such new cleo
ton would be entitled to the office and
have to Gust the possessor, Mr.. Heiser,
by quo warTonto proceedings, or possibly
by mandnmus.

An Enjoyable and Recherche Afiair ct
the MoLure House.
After the quiet and solemnity that al
ways accompanies Lent Ii is q pleasant
and most enjoyable picture to see our
young folks, ali arrayed in gay and at
tractiye attire, swinging to and fro in the
beautiful figures OF the quadrille and
lancers, or skimming over q smooth,
waxed floor to the sweet strains OF one OF
Kramer's Incompatible waltzes. Wheel.
ing girls certainly are to be highly COM
mended for their strict observance
Of Lent. Social matters are literally
dead during that season, but after it is
over and they feel that duty has been
done, they enter into gayeties and en-
joyments with zest and gusto that is
refreshing and are inclined to make not
only themselves but every one around
them happy.
The German at the Mcclure House
last evening. was one OF the largest and
most delightful entertainments OF the
kind that has ever been given in our
city. The success OF the affair was
probably due to the fact that the
organization, which has been in
existence for several years past, is
about to lose one Of its brightest and
most pleasing lady members at the Hy.
meneal altar, and as the entertainment
last evening was given as farewell and
mark Of the high appreciation OF the
young lady's many charms, each men,
Der desired to express his
esteem by being on hand
and adding everything possible
to the enjoyment and success Of the
occasion. A number of young married
folks were present and also few stran.
gers. The toilettes were elegant and all
the ladies presented beautiful appear
ance, but owing to the iateness OF the
hour and the tear Of neglecting many OF
the finest costumes We omit a descriI-
ton al them, and likewise the names OF
those present.
Suffice it to say that it was a grand
success in every way. Col. Norton the
urbane and obliging proprietor OF the
hotel had all arrangements perfect to
afford the guests the greatest
comfort and pleasure. Prof.
Kramer fulfilled the highest ex pectations
Of everybody, in fact his music was
grand, and altogether the fair guest OF
the evening throughout all her life can
look back to the event with the greatest
pride and pleasure.

Branch of Council last evening a com.
munication from l. III. Williams, Secre-
tary of the Washington Hall Associa-
ton, warning the city against the threat
ening condition OF the south wall OF the

cation that it would be held liable for
any damage done. The paper was re-
ferred to the Committee on Real Estate.

THE SALE OF PAUPERs.
A Hancock Correspondent Reasserts the
Charge and With Force.

The Steubenville Gazette, OF yester'
day, contains lengthy communication
from Hancock county, West Virginia,
reasserting the charges OF the sale OF
paupers in that county. 1t refers to the
National Police Gazette account and speaks
of an indignation meeting that was
called, SAYING:
''The first impulse OF those who i'm
agined they were personally attacked
and who ielt most aggrieved, was to call
indignation meetings and offer liberal
rewards to "huHt the rascal down" who
had the sublime audacity to assail the
infamous system OF bartering in
human flesh-a system transmitted
to us by tyrannical slave oil
garchy of the old Dominion out the peo-
pie didn't indignate worth cent, for
somehow or other they couldn't rub out
the fact that paupers were sold in Han
cock county. A meeting to take action
in the matter was duly called, however,
but as nobody responded, the flaming
resolutions that were TO startle the ma
tives and lift the lid clear off the county,
and at the same time bury the "lack wit
fool who deliberately concocted the con-
temptible string OF lies" into eternal
oblivion, have gone glimmering.
The communication concludes:
"Now, we have no quarrel with any
man or any set OF men, but are simply
dealing with the facts as they exist. 1t
never was charged that the Poor Board
was not composed Of as honest and hu-
aane men as the county afford, nor that
they were not doing the best they could
under the system. Neither was it
charged that the people of the county
were not chock full Of the milk OF hu-
man kindness, and stopping over with
all the Christian virtues in the cata-
logue, but We did charge that paupers
were sold in Hancock county, and We

THE 'sCAPE GOAT.
Important Revelations By the Mother Of

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Myers,
mother OF Jesse Myers, who was made
the 'scape goat in the Freese forgery
case, called at the REGISTER Office and
desired TO see reporter, saying che had
something OF Importance to say, in con.
nection with the Freese case. She is
MISUNDERSTANDING woman, OF very pleas
ant manners. She said that as long as
the defense in the case mentioned, had
seen fit to throw the forgery npon her
son, she deemed it her duty, as his
mother, to set him right before the pub.
lie, Though she knew" she added,
"that he was no angel"
"In the first place." she began,
"the lawyers said yesterday that
they had been trying for three
terms OF the court to get
Jesse h'rh; now he was here at the last
term aud was summoned as a witness,
but the case was postponed. He was
here all winter and only left abo 1t three
weeks ago"
"Did he leave to avoid this trial2"
"He said he didn't like to testify
against Allie, but he wouldn't psrjure
himself for no living man. Last fall, l
think it was November, Allie came TO
him and wanted him TO get away, offer.
ing to pay his expenses if he went"
"Did you ever talk to Jesse about this
forged note?"
Eyes. He told me, Mother, / didn't
see Allie forge that note, but he told me
he did it. Now l want you to say in
the REGISTER in the morning that one
OF Allie Freese's counsel said to
me this morning: Mrs. Myers,
Jesse is innocent and Allie
Freese is a perjured man. / want the
public to know that, for Jesse has sis.
ters and it's not pleasant for them to
have people think Jesse did that"
"Did Freese make any effort to get
Jesse away this last timer"
81 don't know. Jesse wanted to 20
back to Philadelphia and Allie wanted
TO go there too. He wrote to Jesse and
asked him to get him place there"
How about this western trip?"
"Jesse wanted to go for some time and
asked for money, but l would mt let
him have it. The day they were arrest
ed at Columbus, l went to see Mrs.
Freese and she said TO me: There was
no need OF Allie forging that note as !
had Just given him 500, and $50 short
time before This was before the boys
we're brought back"
Mrs. Myers was particularly anxious
10 prove Jesse's innocence, saying. how
ever, that she did not think people
would believe he did the forging. She
would write at once to Jesse. she said,
and get bis story, for the benefit Of the
public, and il necessary bring him back
and have him clear his skirts.
