by the directors of what is known as the

poses to enjoy that privilege without the

HAZEL KIRKE.

Next Monday evening, the Madison
Square theatre company win present the
pastoral drama of Hazel Kirke" in this
city. The plot of the play is as follows
Hazel Kirke is the daughter of well-to-
do miller, and has nursed back to life Lord
Trayers, whom her father saved from
drowning. She is betrothed to Aaron
Rodney, wealthy neighbor, who nobly
resigns her when he discovers the love
which has grown up between her and Lord
Trayers She marries the nobleman, and
her father, whose irascible temper prevents
him from understanding the situation,
drives her from home. She is happy with
her husband until his mother tells her that
she is not his lawful wife, and that be
must marry another woman, whose fortune
his dead father had stolen. This, she says,
is the only course to save the family honor,
and Hazel, believing that her husband has
deceived her, flies from the place. Her
father has lost his eyesight during her alb
sence, and as she opens tho window of the
old room on wild and stormy night, she
hears him bewailing his misfortunes and
charging them to her. She enters and
meets Rodney, her old lover, who again
offers to marry her. The old man does not
know of her presence, and when Rodney
asks his consent, he refuses, and says he
would drive her from his door. After Rod
ney leaves, she resolves to drown herself,
and leaves the house. A moment later a
shout that Hazel is drowning is heard, and
the old man in his helplessness can do
nothing for her. The stubbornness and
cruelty that drove her to the attempt to
take her own life, flashes upon him. In an
instant, and in his misery his senses leave
him. Hazel is saved by Lord Travers, her
husband, who has followed her. Her
voice brings the old man back TO the world
again, and the play ends happily.

cution, in his affidavit stated that it Was
not given out by the prosecution that the
evidence. against Heilwagon would be
solely circumstantial. He also denies that
there was any intention on the part of the
prosecution to deceive or defraad the de-
PENDANT by not mentioning the confession
to Stratton at the opening argument. The
reason being that the prosecution did not
know that Stratton could be secured to
testify.

THE ARGUMENTS.

The circuit court. room was crowded this
afternoon when the arguments in support
of the motion for a new trial In the case
of Heilwagon were made.
At $40 O'Clock Mr.. OMara, counsel fol
the defence, stated that he desired to enter
a motion for continuance. He. made q
formal affidavit ia support of his motion
containing the following letter:
ANAMosA, Iowa, Feb. %.
p. 0NaTa:
DEAR SIR:-I have just seen an account
of Detective STATIONS" exploits with you.
In an important case which we have in
hand this same Stratton figures in the
same capacity as confession receiver, tssti-
flying before the grand jury as about as he
did with you. While looking him up more
than six weeks ago, we found that he had
told responsible party just how he was
going to fix your client, and that he had
offered to swear to an alibi for him if he
would give him certain sum. ] have the
name and the residence of the party and
have known this for month, but did not
know the name of the party which you
were defending, and Stratton is such q
liar that thought it might be his usual
lying He is man of no character what
ever, as we know fall web now, and will
prove at the proper time.
H. w. RBMLY.
Other letters of similar character were
read from p A. Wolff of Maquoketa,
Iowa, and Milton Remly from Iowa City.
Mr.. O'Mara spoke in support of his
motion, as he claimed that the testimony
was of such u character that it would be
inhuman to deprive aconvicted man Of the
benefit to be derived from it.
Mr.. Parmenter in behalf of the people
objected to the continuance being granted,
on the ground that certain affidavits inn
peaching the ysracity Of Stratton were on
file, and that the new affidavits were of a
similar character Mr. Parmenter stated
that two continuances had already been
granted to the defense, and I'm should OBJ
ject to third delay.
The court held that no legal reasons had
been shown for the continuance asked for.
Mr. O'Mara took an exception to the
ruling Of the court.

COMMITTEES of the City Council, received 8
letter from theS~Clinton Bridge Company
this morning relating to the iron for the

lmpeaching the Reputation OF
Certain Atlantis.

The interest in the He'll wagon murder
trial still continues, as it is known that an
effort has been made to secure new trial
for the convicted man. The basis OF the
motion for second trial is. first, that the
prosecution stated they relied solely upon
cireumstantial evidence to convict the de-
PENDANT, and then produced the direct tes-
timony of L. E. Stratton, an alleged de-
tective, from Iowa, who testified that He'll
wagon confessed the murder to him on the
Sth day of last September.
This afternoon the motion for the new
trial was formally argued before Judge
Smith, who visited this city for that special
purpose.
The arguments were made by VIM. Jack
son and E. E. Parmenter for the people,
and p. o Mara and J. L. Hass for the con-
yicted murderer

SMOKED MEAT.

Last night, at a late hour, flames were
discovered in the smoke house in the real
of Sass butcher shop. Tire building is 10
Gated on Twentieth street, between Secone
and Third avenues. The flames were dis
covered while in an incipient condition
and were extinguished without turning in
q, fire alarm.
The fire is su pposed to have originated
from the heating APPARATUS on the ground,
as when first discovered, the side Of the
house near this apparatus was burning
freely.
The loss did not amount TO any great
sum, as the chief loss was in the ruined
hams that were contained in the building.
