THE AMUSEMENT REVIEW.
The Comedy Attractions at the Theaters This
Week-The Claire Scott Company.

At the Grand. the first three nights of the
week, S~alsbury's Troubadours, one of the best
comedy organizations before the public, will APP
pear in their new musical extravaganza, "Three
of a Kind, which has been a great success with
them, and is said to be very amusing. The
company includes Nate Salisbury, Nellie Nc
Henry, John Webster, W. S. Daboll (of Frog
Opera" fame), Thomas E. jackson, L. J Loring
and Josie Langley. The advance sale is large.
The theater will be closed the last three nights
of the week.
At English's, tonight. Leavittis R~entz-Santley
company will give a single performance, and the
last three nights of the week
Louis Harrison and John Gourlay,
two welllked comedians, will present
their farcical comedy, "Skipped by the Light of
the Moon" which has been a distinctive success
all over the country, playing the largest en-
gagement of the season at San Francisco, st.
Louis and Cincinnati
Harry Miners Comedy Four" combination
will be the attraction at the Zoo all this week.
1t includes a number of the best speciality peO-
pie in the profession, notably Fanny Beane and
Charles Gilday, Murphy, Shannon. Murphy and
Mack, the Jackleys, Shaw and Weston, and others.
The usual attractions will be offered at the
Dime Museum and the skating Kinks during the
week.
n ChAlhE SCOIl COhTAN1 OlSbANDED.
The Claire Scott Dramatic Company, which
played at English's the first part of last week,
has succumbed to the inevitable and gone to
pieces. Business has been very bad for several
weeks, and the company could go no further.
S. K. Coburn, the manager, and Duncan Clarke,
the agent, managed to get out of town all right,
but left the other people here, with Miss SCOTS
personal baggage attached for q hotel bill. An
informal benefit was got up for her at En-
glish's Hotel on Saturday night, at which she
gave dramatic readings, and a number of gentle
men and ladies interested in theatrical matters
made personal contributions. Among these
were Lawrence Barrett, who gave 500, and mem
bers of his company SIG. With this assistance
Miss Scott will be able to pay her bills here and
get back to New York. She is an English act
ress. who has been in this country about three
years. She is an estimable lady and has con-
siderable dramatic talent, which, in a proper
sphere, could be developed advantageously.
The Messrs. Swart, of the Brunswick Hotel,
acted the part of good Samaritans toward the
members of the unfortunate Claire Scott com
pany, furnishing them with board for several
days. securing them free transportation, and
starting them off with a little ready money and
eatables enough to live well until they should
strike friends.

The Kitz Investigation.

In the Kitz investigation on Saturday, Messrs.
Wishard G. Healing, attorneys for DR.. Ferree,
filed a supplementary remonstrance, asking that
Kitz be refused permission to borrow Sc. 900,
for the reason that there was no necessity for it;
that the township fund was not yet exhausted,
and that the alleged facts stated in the petition
were not true. A prolonged argument of the
attorneys followed, in which it was stated that
the money was not wanted to pay debts, but to
defray the operating expenses of the office
until the june levy. The commissioners finally
ruled that Mr.. Kitz must file an itemized state
ment of the townships Indebtedness before
the loan could be authorized. The attorneys for

New 10rk IrlDune.
During the last few weeks Harrison, the 'boy
preacher" has been working up a tremendous re
vival in St Louis, in which all have been invited
to come forward and be saved. 1t appears. how
ever, that this invitation was not intended to be
taken literally, for the colored people who
attend the meetings are told that on no
account must they come forward, but
take seats in the gallery or by the door.
The excuse offered for this course is that
the white people who come to be converted would
be offended if negroes were allowed to come for
ward. The colored people of st. Louis need not
feel anxious at their seclusion from the front
seats in Brother Harrison's revival. They can
obtain salvation in the gallery or at the door
quite as quickly as those who would exclude
them from the privileges of a common Christian
brotherhoOd.

Monthly Report in National Finances.

The government fiscal year closed on the
SOth OF June, and the public debt statement
shows a reduction of si0l 100000, against q
reduction Of s13s,0C0,O0O durihg the previous
year ending June 80, 1883 An examination Of
the interest bearing debt shows, however, that
the actual reduction during the year has been
nearly s1l6, 000,O00, which represents 3 per.
manent annual saving in the interest account
of over three and a quarter million.
The gold coin and gold bullion found is now
nearly s2G5,O1,000, an increase since June l OF
about S3,0O0,000 While, however, this fund
shows an increase of 80, Uo0,o0 for the month,
there has been a decrease in the amount Of gold
owned by the treasury of $4,300,000 The out
standing gold certificates having increased
since June / sl2, 1900; the amount Of these
oertifi yates now outstanding is over s70,0O0,-
600, and the amount of gold IN the
treasury not covered by certificates in $780,
729,9l4 The lumber Of silver dollars now on
hand is Sl35, sc, 9l6--an increase of nearly
S3,000,UO0 for the month, and since July /, 1883,
of s23, GAG, S97. The amount Of silver certifi-
Gates outstanding il s96,420,0UO, thus leaving
the number Of SILVER dollars not covered by
certificates over $50, 0 ,OU0-an increase since
June | of nearly s5,000,000
The amount Of bonds now held TO secure ma
tional bank circulation Is $50, DO,OO against

ceding year-a difference OF $50 00, e00i round
numbers. During the discussion of the tariff
bill in congress it was estimated that tho pas
sage of the revenue bill then pending would
work a reduction Of about s10,0O0,00 per an

Eleven wives is the number of women
that Peter Tatro claims he was married
to, and Of these Ave hare been found
living and well, each mourning the loss
of the husband. The other half dozen
will, no doubt be found within a short
time. Tatro was sentenced in the
United States district court, on Monday,
under the name Of John A. Moore, and
sent TO the Eastern Penitentiary for two
years and fined $500. He was charged
with having ~personated apension agent
and forging a pc nsioner's name TO
voucher. The man is fifty-three years
of age, anu a native Of Franklin county,
N. Y. He is agreeable in manner aud
his ways were so enhancing that within
ten years five women had consented
to become his wife after
brief courtships. The gay deceiver
appeared at Brockport, n. Y, In 1873,
and after a brief wooing made Miss
Ella Webb his wife, giving his nam as
J. Stone. The honeymoon was not over
before the man began a desperate flirta-
ton with q widow named Parsons Of
Candor, n. Y, aud in a month he de-
serted the Brockport wife and made
Mrs. Parsons Mrs. Sheldon Burleigh.
In a few months he tired of this female,
and early one morning he took a train
for the West. He concluded to stop off
at South Bend, Ind, and, under the
name Of H. G. Pomer.V, proclaimed
himself a United Stated Provost Mar
shall. The mans made him a
favorite, and, in the goodness Of his
heart, he offered to prosecute a number
of doubtful pension claims always tax
ing care to obtain a small fee. While
engaged in this business he married
Miss Mason. But his wickedestex-
plot was at Wabash, Ind. In 1878,
und der the name of j. W. jerks,
he became acquainted with Miss NJ. G..
Stewart. Like her pr edecessors,
she in turn became the wife of the vii
lain. He induced her to dispose Of a
farm for 81 800 and HE with him to his
mansion in California. At Chicago he
obtained possession OF her money, and
left her at q hotel penniless. In 1879
the oily-tongued scamp made his APP
pearance in Allegheny county, and, n
der the name of john Hoax, was con
victed of grand larceny. He served
three years for this crime. As soon as
