Theresa S,urla opposed to Reform.

CHICAGO Jan. 2.-Theresa Sturla left
this forenoon for the penit entiary. She
made her preparations with rs much
nonchalance as if tor an ordinary
pleasure trip, and remarked, Il am the
jolliest girl that ever started for Joliet
Her manner certainly confirmed the
| truth Of the assertion. The departure
was totally unexpected, and there was
no one to see her off except the jail Of
ficlals. For the past day or two rumor
has had it that Theresa's professions Of
repentance were insincere, and that she
had imposed en- her friends. Mrs.
Black, who has stood by her through
all the trouble, says:

derstand the change in her conduct AS
I do. Madaline has had influences
brought to bear upon her which seemed
strong enough 10 thwart all her pur-
poses of reform. Certain men OF high
standing both in financial and social
ways--men who are considered worthy

of families, and profess to be Chris

have risen in her way to arrest her
progress and cast the poor girl back
upon the plane from which she has
striven to arise. Two mistresses of
prominent houses of ill-lame in this
city offered Madeline 81 900 to secure

Of their houses. This offer the girl re-

A ROW IN A BOSTON THEATRE.


Boston, Dec. 30.-During lecture
to-day, by the Ford Brothers, slayers
of Jesse James, in one CT the subsidery
halls of the horticultural building, on
fremont street, an exciting scene oc-
Cured. There was large audience
present. Some roughs offered the
opinion that the Ford Brothers were
"No good" This reelection was re-
sented by the brothers, who drew re-
volvers and brandishing them leaped
from the stage into the midst of the
audience. The people stampeded i'm
mediately, and such was the
haste that many sought egress
through the windows, breaking the sash.
The hall is ON the ground floor and the
windows open directly on the street.
Policeman Robinson who heard the
crash of glass and saw the people run
ming from the hall, made his way into
the building and seized both brothers
who had assaulted several people with
the butts of their revolvers. The
officer proposed to take them to the
station, and they desired to buckle on
their revolvers owing to fear of their
lives. The officer would not permit
this, and started with them under ar
rest, but the proprietor Of the show IL
terfered, setting forth his enterprise
to be financial failure If
the Ford brothers were not allowed
to stay and finish according to
programme, and finally prevailed upon
the officer to allow the performance to
proceed. not, however till the latter
had taken the names of persons as
saulted or Witnesses, and exacted q
guarantee thst he brothers will appear
when wanted by the police. The re-
marks of the officer, when seizing the
brothers, was: ''You may be the Ford
brothers or the James brothers, but
you can't drink blood II Boston" 1t il
understood the friends OF the assaulted
parties are "laying for" the
brothers and more trouble is expected

New YORK, Jan. 2.-Hungry Joe,
the aesthetic apostle of the bunco fra
ternity in this city, has given out de-
tailed account of Oscars misfortune.
He says Wilde played and lost, and
gave three checks for $500. He then
ran away, leaving his sealskin overcoat
behind him, and stopped the payment
of the checks. The funny part of the
business, Joe says, is that he himself
hsd been previously plundered of $3.50
by more adroit swindler who passed
himself off as Oscar.

and lonely growth, weak blue eyes and
a sallow skin. The fingers of his hand
were stained a dirty yellow from ex-

was far from clean. He wore a very
low Derby hat, extremely tight trous-

presented generally an air of cheap
fopcishness that was far, very far from
attractive.

IT seems that Senator Logan made
An important contribution to the his
tory of the rebellion in his great speech
recently in the Fu5 John Porter case.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune gives this report of what he
said
General Logan made contribution
10 military history to-day which may
cause some of the authors to revise
their books. Illustrating the maxim
of Napoleon, that it is the duty of corps
commanders to march to the sound OF
the enemy's guns without waiting for
orders, he said that the great battle OF
Atlanta, on which so much depended,
was fought and won by Union Gener
ais who did not receive single order
from their commanding officer. Gen
eral Logan did not refer to himself,
but all military men IN the room knew
that 1t WAS his own experience that he
had IN mind. lie added that from the
beginning 10 the end of that battle the
corps commanders, all of whom he
ranked, never received an order from
their general officer, who WAS General
sherman. General Logan thus, on the
floor of the Senate, has declared tha,
the battle of Atlantis was fought with
out sny orders from General Sherman,
He referred to the fact that Sherman
in his Memoirs has said that every
order was anticipated. The truth is
therefore, according TO General Lagan's
statement, that the battle of Atlanta,
for which General Sherman received
so much credit, was fought TO con-
clusion without any suggestion or ill
rection from General Sherman him.
