About two weeks ago the Denver &
New Orleans railroad opened its line
from Denver TO Pueblo. This was
virtually parallel to the Denver &
Rio Grande road. A hot competition
in passenger rates almost Immediately
ensued, and the fare between the two
cities now is 81, against 81 80 before
the war began. Ex-Governor John
Evans, President of the Denver &
New Orleans Railroad Company, who
is now in this city, said last night to a
Tribune reporter:
"The extraordinary opposition made
by the Denver & Rio Grande Com
pany to the Denver & New Orleans
railroad enterprise is to all reasonable
men unaccountable, if not ridiculous.
There should be no unfriendly rela-
tions between the two mpanies on
any reasonable business view of the
case. The Rio Grande is narrow
gauge, and is intended to bring its
business from the mountain mining
regions to the plains. Its eastern and
southern railroad connections are its
outlets to the East and the outer
world. The Denver and New Orleans
is broad or standard gauge line. Its
main object is to connect the system
OF railroads which is to extend from
Denver to and over the New North.

st. Leuis Republiea,


The next dramatic season promises
to be unusally prolific of new plays.
Until within few years, no manager
would touch either American plays or
plays by American authors; now they
are becoming all the rage, and threat
en- to take possession ofour stage. The
first rich American vein was found in
character, and developed Kit Redding,
Davy Crockett, Colonel Sellers, Bard
well Slote, Joshua Whitcombe, Dea.
con Crankett and others of marked
characteristics The next lead was
struck on the border, in the conflict
between advancing civilization and
retreating barbarism, and de
yeloped in stage scenes the
situations of American pioneer
lite. 1t has given US Joe Sanders
Sandy McGee, NJ 'liss and many other
strongly marked relatives and asso-
ciates. The plays in which these
characters are set are among the most
popular of the day, and there are more
coming. The latest success in this
line Of dramatic effort is a play en-
titled "A Square Man." BY Mr..
Edward j. Schwartz, and secured BY
that enterprising manager, j. Nj.
Hill. 1t was recently on trial in
Brooklyn, New York, and its success
was most pronounced. The novelty
Of "A Square Man" promises to be
one of the particular dramatic attrac
tions OF next season. The scene is laid
IN the mountains and mines of the
far West; the people are homogeneous,
and the action is such as grows natur
ally out of the situation. There is
big hearted miner, Jack Kenyon; a
brave, wild beauty, Blossom, and |
villain to make them trouble. Bal
as Jack the Square Man,
and Libby Nixon, as Blossom, made |
the Brooklyn success. Mr.. Hill has |
also purchased play entitled House
Of Mauprat," with which he will make |
public venture next season. What |
with Whitcomb and Crankett, "All |
tho Rage" "A Square Man, and |
girl, Margaret Mather, Hill |
will have his hands full next season.

MANCHESTER, N. H., June c.
There is no individual more justly
held in contempt, when he is found
out, than the sanctimonious, alleged
pious fraud, who makes his assumed
holiness a cloak under which he can
the better cheat his fellow-men. OF
all individuals, too, he has the most
unlimited quantity of that commodity
variously known as "cheek" and
brass" and gall" An illustration
of this is given in the case of Willis
A. Shaw, a clerk for a furnishing
house in this city. He was implicit
ly trusted, was a jealous church
member, and an active work
er for the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. He was recently
detected in stealing from his employ
ers, and then confessed that he had
been pilfering for the past seven years,
and that the total amount was many
thousands ofdollars. His zeal in re-
ligious work won for him the offer Of
General Secretaryship of the Young
Mems christian Association at Con-
cord, N. H., with salary Of $1,000 a
year. He evidently did not think
that his repeated infractions Of the
eight commandment incnpacitated him
for doing association work, for he pro-
posed to his employers to take the po,
sition in Concord, and from his salary
to pay the stealpgs. Impudence could
not 90 much further.

it, three other steamers, the Bordeaux,

Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.
NEW YORK, May 30.-The Park
Theater announced last night Sydney
Rosenfeld's dramatic romance "Flori
nel," produced under the personal
management of the author. The
word romance" must have been used
advisedly. The play in question is a
wholesale theft. Taking out the
mangling of Mr.. Rosenfeld and re-
storing the play to its condition where
this author fell foul of it, we have
"Hermance, the Child of Fortune"
once the property of Methna Schiller,
but now belonging to Maggie Mitchell,
who bought the manuscript from her.
1t was old fashioned in construction,
and at the request of Maggie Mitchell
l took the play and altered its move
ments in such a manner that no
change of scene was called for during
any one of the five acts. Having
read it over two or three times,
its story, situations, and even
the very language, were perfectly
fresh in my memory. l think the
manuscript dates back over twenty
years, and the play will doubtless be
remembered in the Northwest, where
the German actress was accustomed to
star. The English of the play was not
altogether presentable, and Mad.
Schiller gave the drama to Stephen
Fiske to correct it and put it in good
shape. His name is on the manu-
script, which is in Maggie Mitchell's
possession. The play was probably
written before Mr.. Rosenfeld was
born, and his assumption of authorship
in this case is positively ludicrous,
going to the extent that it does in
claiming to have created this old play.
1t is a matter of regret that he did not
oonfne himself to what was already
written, AS it is, he has the satisfao-
tion Of spelling one of the prettiest
five-act comedy dramas ever snatched
from the foreigner. 1t is some conso
latiOn to know that his corps Of exc
cutioners were in perfect accord with
their director. Worse acting has
never been seen in New York thea
ter, which is saying good deal.

Horrible Crime.

J. W. Bayles, farmer, between fifty
and sixty years of age, living about
three and a half miles from Vienna,
Illinois, on the Wabash railroad, was
most foully murdered. 1t seems that
he had been sitting by a small lamp,
reading, when the assassins entered
and tied him to theichair in which he
was sitting. They then tied his hands
behind him and his feet together.
When found his feet were burned to a
crisp by the lamp being held under
them. They then split his head with
an ak and searched the house. When
through, they cut the bride with
which he was bound to the chair and
showed him over on the floor, where he
was found by some of his neighbors
No clew to the perpetrators Of this
horrible crime has as yet been OBJ
