EAST LYNN {.

Second Appearance OF Miss Ada Gray a, Turner
Opera Hall.
A fair audience was out last night to
greet Miss Ada Gray at Turner hall in
her new version of East Lynne. The
play as rendered by Miss Gray is an i'm
provement upon the old version except
as to length. 1t occupies too much time
in its rendition. Miss Gray as Lady
Isabel" acquitted herself creditably,
but could have thrown great deal more
feeling into her part. Miss Tillie Shields
as Miss Corney, oldest sister of Archibald
Carlyle, was excellent, while Mr..
Clarence Handyside, as Sir Francis
Levison, played the scoundrel admirably.
The other characters of the play were
well sustained and the audience left the
house well pleased with the performance.

ANOTHER SHOOTING sCRAPE.

Mr.. E. PaschaI Fires. at Matthew'S His Shots,
However, Don't Take Eject.
Yesterday about o'clock, what might
have ended in another bloody tragedy,
took place on Acequia street. Some
boys were, it appears, deviling Mr.. En-
met Paschal, who took up rock and
threw it at the boys. His aim was, un-
fortunately, untrue, and the rock struck
Mr.. Matthews. Words arose between
the two, finally ending in Mr.. Paschal
going into his house and returning with
pistol. Matthews, who keeps a store
next to Paschals, had also armed him
self, and proceedings were opened by
Paschal firing three shots in rapid sue
oesson at Matthews, whose shotgun was
unloaded. None of the shots took effect,
and it is doubtful whether Mr.. Paschal
intended they should. In the meantime
Officer John Ferris and Charles Camp
bell arrived on the scene and arrested
both combatants.

it is impossible for me to grant such requests.
The flags were allowed to remain upon the

suindling soldiers widoms-A Villain Gagged.

Special officers of the Pension Department
are collecting evidence against Thomas Baker,
alias Brown. now awaiting trial for swindling
soldiers widows and children out of back pen
sion money. Another case has been discovered,
the victim being woman living on the South
Side, and an additional charge for the otfense
viii be entered against him in a few days.
Baker played bold game. He always feeced
the widows and daughters of soldiers. His
plan was TO learn where a woman had secured
a large back pension aud TO go to her residence
during the absence of any male relative. He
would represent that he was Government
officer; assert that she had procured the pension
through fraud place her under arrest and
compel her to accompany him on the next
train, which invariably left in a short time.
His apparent destination would be Washington.
ID. c., but he would stop at some large city and
compel the prisoner to occupy the same room
with him IN a hotel. The next day he would
inform the victim that, upon examining the
papers, he had found that, as the fraud was not
extensive, he would release her and give her
sufficient money to return home. but would
keep the balance until he had consulted the
Government authorities. He was captured at
Wilkes-B Barre. He had then been traced under
six distinct aliases
