COURT OF com MON Pleas.

6ho First week of tho Year
This morning the first week of common
pleas court or this year begun with Judge
Patterson presiding. There are thirty
one cases down on the list and twenty one
Of that number are for trial.
A case was attached, but jury was not
sworn until this afternoon.
When the name of Henry g. Zahm was
called as a juror, two men responded and
walked into the box They said their
names were exactly alike, and beth re-
sided in Penn township. One stated tina.
he understood his name had been placed
in the wheel. and the other said tho
sheriff had served the notice on him. Tho
court said THAI the one who had bceil
notified by the sheriff must be kept--the
other gentleman was discharged.
The court at II o'clock took up the case
of Samuel j. Smith fifteen year old
adopted son of Mrs. Margaret Smith of 81.
Joseph's street. The object in bringing
the boy before the court was to have him
sent to the house of refuge for the reason
that he is incorrigible. The evidence
showed that the boy will not stay at home
and is often away for several days at q
time he has several times slept at
the station horse over night, giving
as his reason that his folks haI
chased him away. This was all found to
be untrue and the boy was sent to prison
for 10 days. He refuses to go to school
and is very mIschievous. The court after
hearing the evidence made out the papers
for the boys admission to the house Of
refuge. Officer Allen Pyle took him to
Philadelphia this afternoon.

THE MAID or ARRAN..

A Weak Play In tho Opera House-Tne Com :
psny's Financial Difficulties
'The Maid of Arran'' is the title Of the
play, possessing some sentiment and no
value, presented in Fulton opera house
Saturday evening to q small audience. 1t
has the hackneyed plot wherein the hero
inc marries one of two lovers the rejected
one sows the seeds of discord in the hus
bands way; he ilI-treats his wife !; she
leaves him the smiling villain presses his
suit; is rejected and, after a lapse OF
four years the husband, who has been
absent during that period, returns; the
true state of affairs is made known; recon,
ciliation. There is nothing in the play to
make it popular, and the people in
the caste scarcely came up to mediocrity.
Miss Agnes HallOck was reasonably good
as &teila, so was Mr.. Louis Baum as Hugh
Holcombe and so were a couple of others,
but II. J. Hurley as Con OMara was one
of the most insufferable inflictions any an
dience could possibly experience.

cit was not until $50 last evening that
the curtain rose in 'Maid of Arran." Few
of the audience were aware of any hitch.
It.appears that J.P. Keefe, who played the
part of old man or Con OMara, was en-
gagged by John w. Baum, the manager,
some time ago, at a weekly salary, since
which time he has not received the
same, except in part. Yesterday he
employed r. L. Muench as counsel who
last night attached the receipts at
box Office and movable fixtures. Mr..
Keefe was therefore paid before the play
was allowed to 60 on. We are informed
that there are fourteen people in the com
