A Verdict of Assault and Batter,

In the BurrPlatt shooting case on trial in
Bridgeport for several days past, the jury re-
ported first disagreement. They were sent
back and later on returned and reported a
verdict of guilty of assault and battery"
The States Attorney moved for immediate
sentence; the counsel for the defence asked
for light sentence, if sentence were imme-
nounced that he should reserve his sentence
until next week, and would look
| over his notes and endeavor to reach just
| sentence. The court then adjourned to Tues
day next at 10 a. The penalty for the
above is not more than $500 fine, or one
year in State prison, or both. The verdict
of the jury created some surprise.

= 1t has been discovered that the brakeman
killed at the Fair street railroad bridge in
this city recently, whose name was thought
to be Philip Reilly, was Henry Mcshene or
McCheyne. Chief Webster wrote to the
Albany authorities, having learned that the
deceased had told some one that he had a
brother who was foreman in stove store
in Albany. The brother came on here yes
terday morning and was quite positive that
the deceased was his brother. His brother
said that the deceased was about 26 years old
and left wife and two children living in
Albany. where also resided his mother. His
father died just one year ago yesterday. He
said his brother went under assumed names
frequently, and was in the habit of rowing
about the world, his friends often not hear
ing from him in months, and that he left
Albany five weeks ago. Some time after
ward the family received postal card from
him at Bridgeport signed Philip Reilly. The
brother fully identified effects left by the de-
ceased as belonging to his deceased brother.
The remains will be disinterred and taken to
Albany.

ALL AT SEA.
The largest audience that has visited the
New Haven Opera House in a long time was
present last evening to witness the presenta-
ton of ''All at Sea-" Suffice it to say that
the performance was a conglomeration
bringing to mind Patience, Mascotte, Fun on
the Bristol and adozen more or less of recent
popular productions In some respects it
was very clever, and certainly had the merit
of highly amusing the audience. They were
not discriminating, but laughed at both good
and bad things, keeping Mr.. Frank Bush,
who was whole show in himself, busy with
his clever nlimicry and eccentricities This
afternoon and evening the performance will
be reneated.

The rather small audience who witnessed
the presentation of ''Hamlet" by Frank Mayo
and his excellent company went home per-
fectly satisfied The artists selected to sup.
port Mr. Mayo are all actors of ability, there
is not a econd-rate artist among them. The
play of 'sHamlet'' has always been popular
one. In background of quiet and lingering
yet foreshadowed retribution we see
the tragic results which . follow from
great action being required of one
unfit for it's performance. Hamlet" is a
man of overbalanced contemplative faculties,
who becomes the creature of mere medita-
ton and loses his power of action. The
character is difficult one to conceive and q
still more difficult one to act, and none but
great artists should make the attempt. Mr..
Mayo last evening proved himself in every
way worthy to assume the role he has under
taken Though at times he is q tri1e too TO-
bust and is possessed of a peculiar information
of voice, he gave very artistic yet withal a
perfectly natural portrayal of the char
acter. His dialogues with ''Polonius, {"
his advice to the players and
the scene with his mother were most effect
i've the latter bringing him hearty encore.
OF the company, Mrs E. L. Davenport as
the Queen and Mr.. Forsberg the King de-
serve special mention for their admirable
acting In fact the whole company, from the
star to Master Harry Davenport,-a son of
E. L. Davenport-who appeared as the ''sec-
ond grave digger" were thorough in their
parts, making the most of the work assigned
them This afternoon 'Ingomar" will be
given and this evening, by special request,

audiences at both entertainments.

MRS. PARTINGTON.

Those who were at the Grand Opera House
last evening were much delighted with Mrs
Darlington and her son Ike. From begin
ming to end the audience laughed, and not
infrequently "roared." Mrs. Partingtons
language was ridiculous enough and some of
the irrepressible Ike's tricks were very fun
ny, especially his stair arrangement by which
the poet, the judge, the deacon and Mrs
Darlington came to grief. Ike Master
DUNN also did some very skillful dancing.
The play will be repeated this afternoon and
evening, and those who enjoy a good laugh
can find cause for it by attending one or
both of the performances. The matinee will
begin at p. m. Admission for children 10

idly over the surface of the stream,
while [ was seated upon the large, fiat
bag. Now and then the balloon would
lift me a few feet above the river and
whirl me round few times in the air
and then bring me down on my back
among the waves, when it required con-
siderable energy to regain my position
upon my air inflated seat. After being
dragged by the balloon more than
twenty miles through the water I was
thrown upon the western shore. On ac-
count of not being able to reach the
valve cord, which was fastened to the
hoop, six feet above my head, it was
impossible to stop the balloon, and
not wishing to be injured or killed by
being dragged over fences in the dark, 1
let go of the rope. Immediately the
balloon passed out of sight, carrying
off my overcoat and flags. Thus ended
my thrilling aerial adventure with my
splendid South American balloon Wash

SWitzerIand's Laws.

Under the constitution of Switzerland
any federal law before it can take effect,
must, if demanded by $1,000 citizens, be
submitted to vote of the people and be
approved by them. At the recent ses-
sion of the federal chambers two laws
were passed, which upon demand were
submitted to vote of the people and
were both rejected. One of these was a
national act for regulation of epidemics.
1t made vaccination compulsory
throughout the republic and it gave the
federal authorities power to take per-
sons affected with epidemic diseases away
from their families and isolate them I'M
der government care. This law was re-
jected by the overwhelming vote of
220,0 to 60,000. It's rejection, how
ever, leaves to each canton its present
power to enforce vaccination when it
thinks it necessary. The other law was
one authorizing the federal government
to establish system of patent and copy
right laws, none of which laws, it seems.
exist in Switzerland. A Swiss inventor
can obtain no patent in his own country
This law was also rejected by vote of
126, 500 for to 1873, 500 against it.

Lancet will come like pomatum and hair
restorer combined. 1t says that the story
of Samson has misled people into be-
heving that abundant hair is sign of
physical or mental strength. Mad,
houses and idiot asylums prove the con
trary. Esau, who was so easily duped

mighty Caesar was bald. Long haired
men are generally weak and fanatical,

A Close Shave
lFrom the Detroit Free Pres. I


A st. Louis woman walked the other
night, and putting out her hand touched
the smooth face of an unknown man.
She jumped out of bed and screamed for
help. Her brother, who slept in the
next room, entered, and not finding any
matches seized the intruder by the hair
of the head, pummeled him soundly, ex-
pressing at the same time in the most
vigorous terms his opinion of a scoundreI
who would be guilty of such an act.
Then he dragged him into the middle of
the room, thumped him, kicked him and
threw him out of the window into the
yard below. The neighbors, aroused by
the noise, came in and light was pro-
cured. Nothing had been taken, and at
tention was directed to the miserable OBJ
ject who lay groaning in the yard. SIT

its nose spread all over the middle of it,
one eye bullying out and the other closed
up, both cOlored like an indigo bag. an
open mouth, and row of twisted teeth,
much less to recognize it; but as the ex-
citement slowly subsidized and cool reason
began to reign, thought suddenly
struck the wife that made her turn pale
with horror. "Why, it can't bet
must be-yes, it is John He has been
to the barber's!" It was true he had.
He was her husband, and on his way
home late in the evening, feeling his
long and heavy beard oppressive in the
heat, he had it shorn. His wife was
asleep when he crawled into bed, and he
soon fell into a comfortable nap, from
which he was rudely awakened to the ex-
perience above recorded. She is now
making the best poultices and chicken
soup for him she knows now.

follows:
The standard gold dollar of the United

silver dollar contains of silver of nine

So, $50 ounces troy, or 4, 479 1-6 pounds

of southern California two years ago, de-
stroyed the verdure and large proper

honey supply of that state. The crop is
reduced from 100, 900 pounds to 100000
