Of the acting, the correspondent CT tho

Little opportunity for imposing scenic
effect is afforded by the "The Hunchback.
In the festival the play is in five acts. liz
the first act are two scencs-the first coun'
try tavern interior the second view of the
mansion and park VI the hrnchback. The
artists tried to construct this from Julia'S
word picture in the play describing 1t to her
cousin Helen. In the second act the two
sceHes are nct slriking-onc is Of city gar

picturesque street, painted by Merry and

Through this act there was moderate but

addressed to any individual actors. Some
enthusiasm was manifested at the end OF ihls
act, When the CuIta.a was called up on Inc
four leading characters aud again at The eat!
OF the second act. Neatly all through this
act the words could be heard in the iu!lhest
seats back in the hall when there was perfect

where II is more difficult to hear than in the

cid for Carrying Concealed Weapons :
The f,asa AVafnat Schaeffar DismIaaah

Held for Carrying Concealed Weapons =
The Case Against Schaeffer Dismissed.
Judge Cummins conducted the trials at
the city court this morning, and fined Thos.
Morris so cents and costs for being drunk.
Uriah Henry Millburn, of Chadds' Ford,
was arraigned on the serious charges OF
carrying concealed deadly weapons, and also
with assault with attempt to kill John
Wiggins, barber In the basemement of the
Institute Building. Virgins testified that
he was standing at the corner of Eighth
and Market street about 2;o'clock this morn
ing, when Millburn came up and made a
move as though he was going to make an
attempt to rob him. Virgins warned him
off when Millburn drew pistol and shot at
him and then ran. Millburn was subse-
uuently arrested by Private Watchman
Richard Heritage. The prisoner was held
in the sum of 5000 on the first charge and
$500 on the second charge.
The next case was that of Gustave
| Schefer charged by Officer Blackburn with
assault and battery in driving over
the daughter of Ellis A. Cloud, aged about
6 years, on Saturday last. The testimony
of the witnesses clearly proved that the ac-
cident was purely accidental and that the
defendant had done everything to avert
the accident which was caused by the little
girl running across the street Immediately
behind a street car. The case was dismissed
upon the payment of costs by the defend
ant
