The new American drama. recently
produced in Baltimore, has an interesting
story, which is as follows: The scene is
laid, as the title implies, on the American
side of the Rio Grande river. and is briefly
as follows. Harold Rapley," a young
cattle raiser, has a sister Dora" who is
prosecuted by the dishonorable attentions
Of Morgan Mortimer" a wealthy villain
betrothed to Kate Shelby Dora"
having rejected Mortimer he CON
ceives the idea of abducting her, and
placing his victim on one of his ranches.
del Paso,' an o%utcast, appears on the
scene, and is hired by Mortimer to
carry off Dora. Harold, the brother,
enters only to find his sister gone. The
second act introduces us to the home OF
Mortimer. del Paso' returns and
reports Dora as being securely hid
some miles away. Harold Rapley"
having ascertained who stole his sister,
enters the house of Mortimer he
there encounters del Paso," they reg
ognize each other as brothers. Harold
reports the loss of Dora whom del
Paso'' has not seen since childhood. They
start in pursuit TO save her from "Morti-
mer." In the third act Harold has
fallen exhausted ON the way. del Paso'
steals a horse to reach his sister in time;
is captured and tried Tor the theft. He
is about to die for his crime, when
Harold appears and claims him as his
brother. Through "Harold's' influence
"Del Paso'' is spared one hour. All now
follow him to the hut where Dora Is
concealed. After several strong scenes,
Dora is rescued from danger, the vii
lain, Mortimer, is shot by one whom
he has wounded, and the play comes to a
happy end. The comedy element is fur
nished by one "Byall' and an elderly
maiden called Miss Muffin" Although
the action takes place in Texas, there is
an absence of knives and pistols, which is
a relief. The play is strong, and the
author, Mark Price, Esq, may congratu-
late himself for the excellence of the story
and construction.

Ticket SpecuIators in Court.

Senator Riddleberger's indignation over
the action of the men who sold him tickets
to the circus after the doors were closed
resulted in the arrest of four men and their
arraignment in the Police Court this morn
ing. There names were Charles Warner,
Harry Bunting, Thomas Moore and John
Martin, and they were charged with OBJ
structng the sidewalk at the crcus-grounds.
The Prosecuting Attorney at first intended
to charge them with obtaining money under
false pretenses, but afterwards concluded
not to do so. The testimony of John
Cooper, Pinkerton detective who travels
with the circus, and Detective Block showed
that the men were engaged In selling tickets
after the doors were closed and that they
had been ordered to leave, but neglected to
do so. They falsely represented that the
tickets they sold at an advance entitled the
purchaser to reserved seats. Detective
Cooper admitted that the circus company
had authorized agents who sold tickets at
an advance. The defendants denied that
they swindled the Senator, and the charge
against them was dismissed.

w. L., 4. q. Fair-

There was an unusually large crowd at
the fair last night and no GOODNESS was
manifested in any Of the proceedings. The
interest for a time centered in the auction
sale Of Duny's Malt Whisky, presented by
that company, and the bidding was spirited,
figures running up as high as $3.50 bottle.
The young gentleman who did the auction
eeriDg will go out next winter as a temper
ance lecturer. In other departments busi-
ness was brisk and the dollars and dimes
rolled in with merry jingle in full accord
with the ripping laughter of beautiful
girls and the wild, weird smile of the
young man buying ten-cent chance in a
bachelor pincushiop
