THE THEATRE.

Monte Cristo the Play Last Night.
One Of the largest audiences
Of the season gathered AT
the theatre last night 70 see the play Oh
s.llonre CristO." The packed house
showed that an evening Of unusual en-
5ovment was expected. 1t is only fair TO
saw that expectation was fully realized.
The interest was intense throughout the
performance and It is probable that very
few. if any. were present who would mol
find Measure in seeing the play
second time. 1t would be useless to at
fampt 70 give an outline Of the play IN a
short notice like this. Ii has weak points,
rf course, but it has many strong ones
which offer splendid opportunities ior me
acting and superb scenic enects. Inc IN
terest. Of course, centres around the chlel
character, Count de Monte Crlsto, VINO IN
the first and second acts appears as Id
mund Dantes. a young sailor. This
Young sailor, the mate OF yes
sci. innOcently becomes involved IN
political conspiracy, when
fact becoming known TO those who are
interested in having him out of the way Is
made use Of to have him denounced 10 the
authorities. Further political reasons
cause HIM to be cast into prison. Wnere
ne remains llI 10 years AAC HAle%AAy -
canes. and appears in the world as the
"COunt de Monte CristO." In that char
acter he seeks the punishment Of those
who caused him his suferings. At
times the action is rapid, startling
and intensely exciting. At no time does
the piav drag. and in no one OF the acts
is there anything approaching dizziness.
Mr.. James O'NeiiI, who sustains the dOu-
BILE role Of Edmund Dantes" and "COunt
de Monte Christie" does his part well. 'ln
each change his makeup is the work OF an
artist. All Of the characters are well
sustained, which is something remark
able in play of this kind.
The scenery is entitled TO men
ton. II is very fine, and last night
excited frequent murmurs of admiration.
The principal actors have reason 70 be
pleased with their reception here. Ihey
were several times called before the cur
tain. The house was as enthusiastic as
they could wish. The same play will be
presented Tonight.

SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
AN OGEECHEE GROCERYSIAN
KILLED By \ NEGRO WOMAN.

N w smith, q Store Keeper at But
ter,s Bridge Knocked Down by a Ne
gro Domestic with a Billet of Wood
and Dies from the Injuries He Re
ceIved-His Body to be Exhumed from
it, Burial Place in Bryan County and
an Inquest to be Held To-day.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. b. Fl.
smith, living near the Butler or Dillon
bridge on the Southfeld road leading to
the Ogeechee river, summoned Coroner
Sheftall to hold an inquest over the re-
mains of his brother, W. W. Smith, who
died about two weeks ago under clrcum-
stances which have given rise to the belief
that he was murdered.
1t appears that Smith had been keeping
a store near the bridge Tor long time,
where he had a stock Of goods valued at
from 81 800 to $1,000.
Although inclined to get intoxicated at
times. he was doing a fair amount OF DusI-
ness for a country merchant. Employed
about the premises was tall, muscular
and coal black negro woman named Doll
jenkins. Smith being unmarried the
woman filled the position Of a familiar
domestic about the house and store,
and, in fact, did pretty
much as she pleased, even TO
following the example OF her employer in
the way Of imbibing at times too much
whisky. She frequently quarreled with
smith. and a few days previous to his
death he got into an alteration, in the
course of which she knocked him down
with a billet of wood, and then beat him
over the head.
The victim fingered several days and
finally died. After his death his body
was taken TO the vicinity Of his former
home in Bryan county, and inferred IN an
old cemetery, about i've miles from the
Ogeechee river.
The affair attracted no particular at
tentiOn at the time. The country in
which the store is located is spaTselY set
tied, but facts relating to the difficulty
happening TO be overheard, the brother
and some friends Of the deceased investi-
gated the matter, and finally feeling Justl-
fed in the belief that murder had been
committed, it was decided that the COrO-
ner should be notified ana an inquest held.
DR.. Sheftall yesterday issued number OF
summOnses for jurors and others TO meet
at the store where the ARRAY occurred
today. The brother of the dead man
left the city at once to see that the sum-
mOnses were served and to secure the at
tendance Of the Coroner OF Bryan county.
Coroner Sheftall will leave this morn
ing by the Savannah. Florida and west
ern Railway. At station No. l he will
proceed to the place where the body was
inferred. aud, assisted by the Coroner Of
Bryan county, will eXhume the remains
and bring them 10 the store where the
crime was committed.
The case is a mysterious one, and the
| Coroner Yesterday consulted counsel as
/ 10 tie course he should pursue, since the
circumstances connected with the crime
call in question the jurisdiction of two
COMMITTEES.
