Atkinson's Comedy Company closed its
engagement IN "Peck's Bad Boy" last
night. The production is one of the fun
NEST on the stage.
Tomorrow night James O'Neill will
begin his engagement in Monte CristO."
Manager johnson has been extremely
fortunate in securing this attraction. Mr..
ONeill is one of the foremost Of young
actors on the stage, and in this play it has
been said it IS difficult to imagine any
actor of the time surprising him. The
play is what is known as Fechter's YER
sion Of Dumas great effort. Everybody
who has read the romance has at some
time made Edmund Dantes' hero. The
impersOnation Of that hero by Mr. O'Neill
is where the great interest in the play Gen.
ters. The scenic effects are Of themselves
a great feature of the play. The French
writer who gave the story to thu world
utilized III chapters in unfolding his
tale. Each one of those chapters has its
own vivid interest, fulhlls its own pecu-
liar function, and carries the reader on
one step the more into that strange laby
rInth of romance and adventure. In the
compression into play one must expect
to miss the plot and counterpart, the end
less complications, the army Of charac-
tiers and all those fine lines which serve
each their definite purpose, and give such
peculiar character and inimitable force
to the work of the prolific Dumas. Not
withstanding all this, the play Of ''Monte
CristO" is pronounced one of the best
melodramas which hold the stage to-day.
Following Mr.. O'Neil, John I. Ray
mOnd will appear on Wednesday night
in his new play. For Congress-" which
he brought out just after his engagement
in Savannah year ago, and which has
been such a remarkable success. Every
body in Savannah knows Raymond, and
there are few theatre goers who have not
seen him as "COl. Sellers" or in his
Western play, 'In Paradise" ''For
Congress-" is a burlesque upon the poll
tics of the country, and the methods of
some politicians. The scene of the play
is laid in Illinois, and the story tells of
the efforts of "Gen. Limber," a profess
siOnal and very impecuneOus wirepuller,
to induce a rich old farmer to run for
Congress, The complications which re-
suit from the "GeneraEs'' scheming to
secure this end are the flatures which
constitute the play in the hands of Ray
mOnd success.

ALANDMARK OLE HISTORY.
Scenes Witnessed in the Old CuyIer
House In Colonial Days

hOuso IN COlOnl&l DAYS.
The old house which recently stood at
rhe southeast corner of Bull and Brough-
ton streets, and which viii be replaced in
a short time by Altmayer's new building,
was closely identified with ihe history of
the early days of Georgia. 1t was the
scene Of a meeting of the citizens of Sa-
vannah, represen ting both the patriots
and Tory factions, for the purpose Of soft
ening, ifpossible, the asperities which were
in those days being strongly developed,
and which later ION were to divide in
hostile array upon the battlefields Of
the Revolution. The meeting was held
on June 10. 1918.
There were present John Mullryne,
James MOssman, Rev. j. j. ZublY, John
Simpson, Noble Wimberly Jones, John
Jameson, William Moss, John
Glenn, Josiah Tattnall, John Graham,
Lewis Johnston, William Young. Richard
Wylly, Andrew Mclean, Basil Copper,

Struthers, Alexander MCGOWAN, John
c. Lucena, Thomas Sherman, j. n. Fam
nIng, Levi 5. Shettall. Charles Hamilton,
George Spencer, William Brown, Jr.,
Francis COurvOisie and James Anderson.
John Mullryne, who was the owner of
"BOnaVenture," and who the next year
fed from Savannah aboard the British
fleet with Gov. Wright, the last Colonial
Governor, was chosen President of the
meeting. Resolutions expressive of the
feelings of those present in regard to the
existing troubles were adopted. The tone
of the resolutions favored peace with the
mother country, and what in later days
might be called Union feeling. While
there are a number Of names among those
present of gentlemen who afterwards did
good service in the patriot cause, there is
a marked absence of the bourbon" as it
might be called) element Of the city;
such men as the three II abershams, Lach-
Ian Mcintosh, Samuel Ebert and others.
The house at the time of that memorable
m Getting was owned by Mrs. Cuyler, and
remained in the family of that lady until
within the past few years. The late
Justice James NJ. Wayne, of the United
States Supreme Court, and the late r. X.
Cuyler, it is said, were born under Its
roof,

A PROFITLEss VOYAGE.
The AIisfortunes of Three Speculative
West Indiamen.

The AIisfortunes of Three Speculative
West Indiamen.
Just before Christmas TWO small West
India schoOners, the Trackless and the
Pioneer, arrived in this port from Nassau,
p, with a cargo of oranges. The car
goes were owned by three cOlOred men
who, not satisfied with the prices in their
home market, decided to charter the YES
sells and find a place where fruit was
more in demand. The charter of the
Trackless was for $3.50 for the round voy-
age. The vessel arrived here just
at the time when the market
was well supplied with Fl0ri-
da fruit. The cargo brought just 1886, out
of which had to be paid the customs du-
ties and port charges. What was left
after paying this amount was invested in
lumber, flour and bacon. The Track
less left the wharves yesterday with
very solemn looking party. The vessel
had not only not made enough to pay for
the fruit, out the money tor the charter,
$3.50, was to be paid when they got back
to Nassau. and they had nothing to pay
with. except their little outward cargo,
worth probably 800. One of the owners of
the oranges. Just as the schooner was about
leaving the wharf, decided not to face the
trouble at home, and jumped ashore. A
consultation was held between his two
partners as to whether or not he should
not be taken back by force, but it was de-
cided that it might result in all hands
getting in trouble.
The Pioneer did but little better with
her cargo, though her losses were less.
because her cargo was not so large.

AT dancing saloon in Paris, a few nights
ago, one of the dancers was suddenly seen to
rush toward the door. his eyes rolling wildly
and his face livId with terror. He shouted
posted at the entrance, ARREST me. am q
murderer The soldier was stupefed with
astonishment and rccoiled before the strange
action of the man, who seemed more like
maniac than a rational being. The self
accused assassin, however, reiterated his APP
peal, and was Immediately handed over to
the police, who took him to the adjacent sta
ton. Here he told the Inspector that the day
before, after an alteration with his wife
and her mother, he stabbed the two women
to death with a knife. He at once fed from
the scene of butchery, and, after wandering
about the suburban streets aimlessly for some
moments, plunged into the midst OF the dan
GERS IN order to drown the remembrance Of
his guilt. The police are not quite certain
whether they have to deal with Il mailman or
a real criminal, and an inquiry has been
ordered.
