wARDE as RICEELIEU.

1t ought MOTTO go without saying that in
the character of Richelieu Mr.. Warde has
achieved a marked histrionic triumph.
There are but few characters in the mod
ern drama requiring wider range of ac-
ton, certainly there is nothing in Shakes
peare, save and except Hamlet and Rich
ard LII, surprising it. Last evening the
opera house contained a much larger audi
ence than that of the previous evening,
quite large delegation attending from
Milan and vicinity, and nobody's eXpec-
tations were disappointed. The ARGUS
will not undertake to point out the strong
points of Mr.. Wardes Richelieu; it is suf-
ficient to say that his impersonation of the
Cardinal Prince was one of the finest ever
seen in this city. His support, also, was
notably good throughout. Tonight the
company will present Virginius % the
Davenport people.

STREET CAR ROBBERY.

Early this morning an ARGUS representa-
tive was made acquainted with the fact
of wholesale robbery of some cars of the
Moline and Rock Island street car railway
company. Hunting up President John
Warner shortly afterward. the following in
formation was elected Shortly after
opening the barn this morning it was
found that the fare boxes of cars No. 1, 2,
and 8, had been broken open, presumably
between 1 and o'clock this morning, and
their contents distracted. The work was
apparently done with hammer and chisel
but the only car considerably injured by
the depredators was No. z, the side of
which was badly split. Investigation re-
vealed pile of seventy-four car tickets,
(all of which Mr.. Barnard now has in his
pocket on plank in the rear of the barn
and it is estimated that the four boxes
must have contained not far from twenty
dollars in cash.
There is one thing, however, and but
one SO far as known, which may lead to
the apprehension and conviction of the
thieves. One of the drivers remembers
twenty cent piece, with three notches on
its edge, which had been deposited for
fare and if our business men will be on the
lookout for this the thief, or thieves, may
be captured.
This was certainly bold move but, as
Mr.. Warner suggests, everything indicates
that the work was done by parties well
acquainted with the premises. The bust
ness of ferreting out the thieves is in the
hands of efficient men and it is to be hoped
that Squire Cropper will soon have job
of considerable magnitude to dispose of.

IuMp1No oN ANp oFr OF rRA1Ns:

The danger of jumping on and off of
moving trains by small boys was fully
demonstrated yesterday afternoon. There
is city ordinance against this, but it is
being continually violated. People say,
"Why don't the officers see that it is en-
forced" Well, now, this is an impossible
ity. The officers can not be in dozen
places at once, and these small boys are
like fleas, "When you put your hand on
them they are not there" Yesterday VIM.

fractured the smaller bone OF his left leg.

fact. If the ARGUS had asserted that the
distinguished sailor wasn't better off for
paunch than brains that would have been
downright lie, and the Captain would
have been justified in sending challenge,

The log of the good ship Miss Nancy,
contains valuable historical entry under
date of July 1862. 1t seems that the Miss
Nancy was doing blockade duty off Char
lesion, and the position of Captain Morris
in action was that of chief of ballast and
short stop for cannon balls, but here is the
entry:
July 15.-All hands plped to quarters,
Captain Morris getting there on his hands
and knees. The main top lookout report
ed little niger on raft trying to run
the blockade and put to sea. Captains gig
lowered according to bugle signal. "a Life
on the Ocean Wave" The gig crew pull
away toward the raft. Little niger runs
up signal of distress and surrenders with
out firing gun. Raft made fast to the
gig and towed to the Miss Nancy. In get
ting up from his seat Capt. Morris falls
overheard but floats like cork till picked
up. All sail hoisted, anchor weighed and
the Miss Nancy heads for New York with
her prize.
July 17-Taken in tow by pilot boat
off Sandy Hook and as the Miss Nancy
proceeded to her anchorage in North river
she is saluted by the guns of Castle VIII

commission and retires to his home in Hi
