permit to the Bapti,ts to move their
church edifce through the streets.
When it had reached about half the
distance, there was some hitch for a
couple of days. On passing it and see

remarked: "Your church moves rather
slowly for one run by water power"
"Oh," quickly responded DR.. NJ, 1.-THE
truth is, we attempted to initiate our

ssThe &IeeninS 0ueeu, >,

This charming one-act opera, in con-
junction with a grand vocal and instru-
mental concert, has been selected for the
benefit of Manager Gray. The opera is
the composition of Balfe, the composer OF
the Bohemidn Girl, and other popular ope-
ras. 1t is full of beautiful and sparkling
music. The foundation of the plot is
based on an old Spanish tradition that
''the persons OF their Queens are sacred"
Maria Dolores, the Queen of Leon, in
trusts the government to her regent,
crafty Prime Minister, who wishes her to
marry the King Of >Aragon. The regent
is in love with Agnes, maid Of honor.
The Queen while in a foreign country, be-
fore she became monarch, meets Philip
de Aguiler, the son of a noble family in
exile. He saves her life and they both
become enamored with each other. He
returns to Leon and learns that the lady
he is loving is the Queen, and begs of the
regent position in court. Agnes, who is
in sympathy with Philip, gives him TO
sette which is an "open sesame" to his
wishes. He demands of the regent a
company of troopers, and on presentation
of the rosette his wish is granted. While
singing a serenade he discovers the
Queen sleeping in the palace garden. He
is caught kissing the sleeping Queen,
which is high treason. The regent, ieal-
GUS OF Philip, orders him to be put to
death. The Queen arranges plot with
Agnes to save him. The regent having
made an appointment TO meet Agnes, the
Queen wells herself and fills the appoint
mept made by her maid of honor, and as
she passes the meeting place the regent,
thinking it is Agnes, rushes out, takes
hold of the Queen and kisses her, which
also makes him guilty OF Philips offense,
and, in order to pardon them, the Queen
marries Philip, who, after becoming her
husband, has the power to forgive, thus
making happy de'aouen'ent to this beau
tiful opera, which is repiete with brilliant
and pretty music. Those in the cast are
chosen from cur most popular and gifted
singers. The costumes are rich and beau
tiful, and the entertainment viii no doubt
captivate the audience Next Friday
evening is the date selected. A rehearsal
was given last night. Another full dress
rehearsal will be given at the Theater to-
night and the sale of seats opens to-day.

ADJUSTMENTS


The sparripg match at the Exposition
building to- night promises to be unusually
interesting, and as the admission has been
reduced to half dollar, there will doubt
less be q big crowd. William Fleming, a
long and powerful Memphis bricklayer,
has challenged Sullivan for four rounds
for the $1,000 he offers to any man who
will stand before him that length of time,
and the challenge was telegraphed to Sui
livan, at Little Rock, yesterday. His
manager answered as follows: "Mr. Sulli-
van will be pleased to accommodate Mr..
VIM. Fleming" Among the arrivals
yesterday was Jack McCarty, of Philadel-
phia, who had the honor of standing be-
fore the champion slugger at Clark's
Gardens, New York, some three years
ago. McCarty came up smiling when
time for the third round was called, but
went down before powerful blow and
could not recover. He will be present to-
night, and said yesterday he was anxious
to try his luck again, or he would put on
the gloves with any other man who
thought he could knock him out. Bill
O'Neil and Nelse Scott, both colored, and
powerfully built fellows, will enter the
ring during the evening. The perform
ance will begin at s, and the doors will be
thrown open at o'clock.

Prices Testimony.

Argument on the -OtiOu 20 EEcluSc
Prices Testimony.
WASHINGTON, April 3o.-zIn the Kellogg
case this morning the witness Price was
cross-exanained, but nothing new brought
out.
Ingersoll then moved TO exclude Prices
testimony, and proceeded to make argu-
ment in support of the proposition.
To sustain the allegation of the indict=
ment that Price paid kellogg in lawful
money, the government had Prices testi-
mony that he gave Kellogg drafts and
promissory note. Could promissory note
or a postal draft be considered iawial
money? He believed NOT. Certainly not
more SO than span of horses or other
property. IL was absolutely necessary to
say IN the Indictment of what the COM
pensation consisted, and who gave it to
defendant
Nathaniel Wilson made an argument in
support OF the motion, the burden Of
which was that the government had laid a
I'fictitious date for the alleged offense, with
the clear purpose of avoiding the opera
tions Of the statute of limitations, and
their own witness had given date differ
| ing from that specified in their indict-
| Inent.
In answer to an inquiry from Mr.. Ker
the Court said the present motion was
dom or never entertained until the evil
dence WIS all in. The government might
be able to prove in this case that on the
day alleged in tho indictment the de-
! tendant had received $500 in lawful
| morcy. The Court had no judicial knowl-
| edge OF the evidence in possession Of the
government, but if they had no further
| evidence in reserve touching the payment
OF money, it would be well for them to
meet the issue now,
Reynolds said the government had no
evidence touching the giving Of money
| other than they had given.through Price
Judge Wylie remarked That in view OF
this candid admission, it will be well to
| join issue upon the point at the present
time, and therefore proceeded to reply tc
the arguments Of the defense. He denied
that the prosecution had placed fictitious
dates in the indictments. The dates had
been inserted at the request of a near and
dear friend Of the defendant. They weri
dates upon which the drafts had beer
paid. The government wanted the whole
truth, but did want to be beaten out o
court on technicality.
lngersoll replied to the arguments o
Ker, and maintained that the ohensc con
sisted in the receipt of drafts and notes
which were compensation in law, anC
that the statute OF limitations had rur
against the date upon which compensa
ton was received. He insisted that the
case was dead. The motion had beer
made from a desire to get through the
trial, with the knowledge that all tn,
authorities were on their side,
Judge Wylie reserved his decision unit
| tomorrow.
