Crank and Fi1e."

The produ ctiou of the above play by local
talent at the Opera house this week has ere
ated quite a sensation. The east published
on last Saturday was changed somewhat by
the substitution of Maj. George W. Mead for
George Andrews and S. w. Burgess for Ed.
Andrews, the former as Col. Powell and the
latter as Bill Spooner. The part of ''Skid, a
cullud gem man too numerous to mention,
the only part not taken by local talent. was
rendered by Mr.. Owen Bartlett, and of course,
as the title would indicate, it was the part
which took with the crowd and
which filled the small boys heart with de-
light. 1t would be unfair to criticse
people who are not even amateurs, and who
only appear upon the stage at this time .for
charitable or at best philanthropic purpose,
and it would be fulsome fattery to render
praise to them in the style so common with
dramatic critics who wish to please rather
han benefit the performers. The best char
lcter unquestionably taken by any of the
party was that of w. c. Elwood, a banker,
taken by Harry Knowlton. His acting pos
sessed the charm of being perfectly natural,
and if ever good actor was spoiled by the
legal profession this is an instance. Miss
Carrie Ogle, as Kitty O'Neil,
true Irish girl, was very good,
and her rendition of the ballad
1.-THE Shamrock of Ireland'' was very good
The play itself is a spectacular drama in
tended to depict some of the stirring scenes
of the late civil war in which it is somewhat
successful although quite stretch of imag-
inaton is necessary to help it out some of
the time. The tablaux are very fine and the
stage light are handled well. On Wednes-
day evening the part of Col. Powell was not
well committed and dragged little at times
but the fact that the substitution of Maj.
Mead at the eleventh hour in consequence
of the affliction of which our people are all
acquainted was excuse enough and in fact
great credit is due the gentleman for the
noble way in which he came to the fact
and helped the party out. The performance
on last evening was much better and the
rendition tonight and Saturday evening will
he worth hearing. AS mentioned before
Rank and File is played under the auspices
of the G.. A. R., of this city, and the funds
are to be devoted to building the soldiers
monument, of which more anon. Every
citizen of Mankato ought to give this enter
prise lift and they can do SO by turning
out to hear Rank and File. Pack the house
tonight and tomorrow.

Arrested the Wrong Man.

The case of the State VS.. the Cap
tain of the police sloop "Bessie Wool
ford" who was arrested on Sunday
for unbending and bending on his
sails. in violation of the Sunday law,
was tried last night before Justice ID.
G. Thompson. When the case came
up Captain Waddell assumed the re
sponsibility of the trial, and informed
the magistrate that should a fine be
imposed it would have to be referred
to the board Of public works.
Captain Waddell seemed surprised
that the arrest should have been
made, in view of the fact that the
deputy commander was conforming
to the oyster law, which provides
that "the commanders of both the
sloops and steamers shall keep their
boats on duty both by day and by.
night, SO far as possible, Sunday in
cluded." &c. He says he had order
ed the Eliza Hayward to relieve Cap
tain Clark's vessel, so the latter could,
return to Annapolis, and that the al.
legged violation of the Sunday law
was all nonsense. He added that
some parties thought they saw a
chance of making little cash, and
hence the arrest. But he was snre
the board of public works would nev-
er consent to the payment of SO un-
just claim. In trying the case, JUS
tice Thompson discovered that the
warrant had been inadvertently is.
sued against the captain of the Bessie
Woolford. The magistrate ordered
nolle pros, and will issue warrant
against the mate of the Eliza Hay
ward.

Our County Expenses.

The annual statement of the expen-
ses of this county is in the hands of
the printers. 1t appears that the es-
innate reaches $S3,828.23 and there
is in the hands of the collectors al
ready levied $12,5O1.5O-leaving
but $7I, 1861 to be levied for the
county current expenses. The assess
ed value of real and personal property
in the county, is 1924, 947.86 and
in incorporated institutions 1855, 789.
"a showing total of assessable
property of $lO,33 1884, which re-
quires tax rate of SO cents on $100
to raise the necessary amount. The
free school tax rate has been fixed
at 2Ocents in 500, and 18a cents to
meet our annual State Indebtedness.
These combined taxes runs the. pres
ent levy up to $l.O7a in the hundred
dollars.

Governor McLlne's Views on the POliti.
Cal Outlook.

In cancelling his political engage
ment, Governor McLane says in a
letter to the Havre de Grace people.
that though be regrets he cannot be
with them, he is happy to know that
his presence is not material to the re-
suit neither in this State nor in the
country at large, as be considers the
success of Cleveland and Hendricks
assured as any political event can
well be. He says New York and
Indiana, though closely contested are
no longer in doubt. They will, he
says respond to the appeal of their
two sons who are the democratic
nominees, which give US votes enough
without counting New Jersey, Con-
necticut and California, which are
well contested, and that, though the
country is very closely divided in
popular vote, as well as in the cleo
toral college, he hoped and believed
the hour of victory was approaching.

Political Betting.

AS the Presidential election ap-
proaches, the arguments of the two
factions wax warmer and warmer,
and betting on the successful candi-
dates and on certain States, is be.
coming quite lively. We don't think
there is betting exchange Office in
Annapolis, but we venture to say if
such a business was started here it
would be literally patronized between
now and election day.
A certain naval official is so posi-
tive of Blaine's success, that he is of
fering $40 bets on every State going
for the Republican candidates, Except
Maryland and few Southern States, }
and even these he is doubtful of, and
can't find any one on the other side
to take him up. Here's chance for
some enterprising business fellow to
open betting exchange at once.
The most sensible bet we have
heard of is that of two merchants.
One bet the other if their candidate
is beaten he will walk the streets
with placard pinned to him with
the following inscription: "For cheap
dry goods, notions, &C., go to,
he can beat me every time, as he did
on this election" We venture to say
that that merchant will be better
known than any one in his town be-
fore night, and that his business will
be better advertised than ever before.
