Faust" and Later On"

Lewis Morrison, his charming
daughter, his capable support, and
his scenery have gone, and their de-
parture is regretted. They presented
their farewell performance of Faust"
to a large audience last night at the
Grand, and in much better shape
than on Sunday night. This was
due to the possession Of much more
time than the company had to ar
range the scenery for Sundays per-
Torrance. The company showed no
deterioration in their efforts, and
everybody certainly was pleased.
Mr.. Morrison will come again next
season, and is delighted with his first
reception in this critical city.
By the way, while here, Mr.. Nor
rison received telegraphic offer from
Salvini to support him in his old
character Of "Iago" in "Othello."
Tomorrow night Hallen & Harris
inimitable combination will present
their great success Later on" ut

The ParnelI-Times Suit.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-On the re-assem-
bly, of the Parnell commission today,
Joseph Biggar, one of the Irish mem
bers of parliament, involved in the
Times charges, personally requested
that he be supplied with papers OF
those speeches read from, by Attorney
General Webster yesterday, which re-
ferred to him. The attorney general
promised to supply them, and then
continued with the presen tation Of the
Times case.
He said Mr.. Parnell's supporters
had been trying to exhibit him as one
who stood aloof from the anti rent
plan of the campaign agitators,
but the fact was:that far as back as
1880. Mr.. Parnelf had led the anti
rent movement and in speech in
County Kerry, in that year he had
told his hearers that the land league
had plenty of money to defend those
tenant farmers.

British Lenienoy,

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-An Ottowa
special says: Commander Gerdan, in
charge of the fishery protection SER
vice is here, to report on the seasons
work. That the dominion authorities
have acceded to the request made
early in the spring, by the British
government, that every leniency
should be shown American fishermen,
in order to avoid any conflict with
the United States, is borne out by the
fact that not one seizure of an Ameri-
can fishing vessel has been made this
wear.

FAIR NOTES.

Extortion of any character and in
the smallest matters during the fair
will hurt the city more than two fairs
could benefit it; and the people of Ban
Antonio will see to it that no extor.
ton is practiced. Tho hotels and
boarding houses, livery stables, ETC.,
have all, without solicitation, cut
their rates for the fair.
The work OF cleaning up the
grounds goes bravely on.
1t is much better to have this
weather now than to be afflicted with
it during the fair. With the excep.
ton of getting up the stalls and
grand stand, ali of the important out
door work at the grounds has been
completed. 1t will not take long to
throw up the stables and grand stand;
and the necessary finishing touches to
the race track can be given a few
days before the fair.

Why he Didn't Marry.

Col. E. D. l.. Wickes has returned
from his northern trip and his bright
smile illuminates our street. When
congratulated upon his rumored ap-

''Thanks, my boys, but your con-
CALCULATIONS are rather too previous. I
saw a lady that was all could desire
and I gladly proposed to take her. 1
was all right, but when 1 talked of
bringing her to Texas that settled me.

The Democrats There all the Same

The Democrats There all the Same
Democrats have been making a big
howl north and east, accusing the re-
publican congressional members of
defrauding the postoffice by allowing
their franks to be used to cover the
postage of party campaign docu-
ments, and the republicans have been
heavily censured, although there is
no proof. Will We democrats howl
when they learn that a special officer
of the postoffice department is in the
city to investigate charges against
congressional democratic members
whose franks have been used in a
like manner. The covers and franks
are in possession of the officer and
there is ample proof to show that the
contents of the package were not
"public documents" but reprint from
Henry Georges free trade heresies.

More Light on The Last Plot
Of The Anarchists.
A CHICAGO RED CONFESSES.
Chleboun Tells How He was In
duoed to Make Deadly Bombs
by Hronek-Bonfeld's
Cunning.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July le.-trank Chile
boun, the bfown-haited, blue-eyed,
sweet-voiced fend, who, with John
Hronek and Frank Ch apex schemed to
murder Judge Gary, Judge Grinnell
and Inspector Bonfeld, has made
a full and complete confession.
Chleboun was not locked up at the
armory yesterday as were the other two
and when Chapek was taken to the cen
tral station and Hronek to jail, Chleboun
was sent TO an outlying police station.
He was not subjected, as were the
others to the ordeal of having his pic
ture taken for the rogues' gallery.
Last night Inspector Bonfeld, accom-
panied by two of his Bohemian secret
service operatives, clad in working
mems suits, with soft black hats and
blue flannel shirts, visited the innocent
looking prisoner. The preceding day
he had ihtimated that he was
ready to tell all he knew and
last evening the inspector went to
hear his story.
Through the interpreters, Chleboun
went into the whole story from his first
meeting with Hronek and Chapek.
His confession was that Hronek had un-
folded his plans for revenge and had told
ola bomb which he, Hronek, had invent
ed. 1t was small, no larger than
base ball, and was to be loaded with
dynamite and bits of broken glass. 1t
was denied by Chleboun that the plot
was to murder the judges and Inspector.
That is, he heard of no such definite
scheme. They were talked OF,
as was Capt Setback, and he
understood that he wds to pay
mole attention to the captain than to
anyone else. There was no concerted
plan of action, but it was agreed that
when all preparations were made he and
two others were to be informed
by Hronek just what they were
" dO IA the way OI GNcDg-
ing the death of The martyrs.
About July l he was visited by
Hronek, who brought him two bombs
of the broken glass variety and two
sticks Of dynamite from which he was to
make bombs of gas pipe after the usual
pattern. The other two men were also
supplied with bombs and dynamite.
He had the stuff in his house for about
week and then grew so afraid that it
would be discovered that he made
away with it by throwing it in a privy
vault.
This was the substance Of the confes-
sion which Inspector BonfeId to-day
placed in the hands of a Typewriter
operator for the purpose of having it
put in shape for use in court. The con-
fession is much more in detail and COW
ers about thirty closely printed
pages. By his confession, it is
understood. Chleboun has virtu-
ally secured immunity from prose-
cution. He is in reality much less
guilty than either Hronek, Chapek or
one of the men not yet arrested He
has agreed to give his testimony in open
court where it viii corroborate the 9th
er evidence secured by the inspector
against the conspirators.
The two other men are still at large
but may he arrested at any time

DISASTER AT WHEELING
sudden Flood Carries Away Bridge
"A Large Number of Buildings De-
s'rosed-Mere than Twenty Persons
Drowned.

A terrific rainstorm prevailed at
Wheeling, W. Va, on the 10Th, flooding
cellars along Main Street, and distrib-
utlng debris from the hillsides on many
thoroughfares. While number of
people We're standing on one of the
bridges of the Baltimore K Ohio span
ming the Wheeling River, the
bridge gave way, precipitating twenty
TO thirty persons into the river. Eight
petsens were rescued, but it is feared
that ten to twenty persons petIshed.
At Caidwell's Run, in the lower end of
the city, four dwellings were swept
away by the flood and eleven persons
drowned. The flood was simply ap-
palling and details are hard to get. OF
the persons on the bridge ten are known
TO have been saved. The names
of the lost cannot be given yet, The
river rose three feet in five minutes.
Uut the National road, the trains, coal
chutes, houses and all are gone. The
Wheeling 4 Elm Grove railroad was
swept away for miles, and the roads COW
cred six feet with water Over the river
the ruin is even worse. The storm lasted
less than an hour, flooding the streets
from house to house. The Western
Union Telegraph office had a foot of
water on the floor j. W. Hunters spice
mills two feet and other buildings on
Main and Market Streets as bad On
the upper end of EoH Street, high on the
hill in the Second Ward, the water was
over the tops of stoves and like objects
and when it receded left sediment on
the stoves. Wagons in the Valley of
Wheeling Creek were buried beneath
the mud and debris. The Chaplain
Street and Eoff Street bridges are both
gone and Wood Street bridge impossible.
Nine persons living on Caldwell's Run
are known 10 be drowned, and six
houses on CaldwelPs Run are gone. The
list Will doubtless be increased.

roads were washed co as to be impassa-
ble
A substantial bridge on the suburban
Elm Grove motor line at Leatherwood
was washed away. The loss in the city
will reach $4,000, and the damage to
the crops is inestimable. The ruin
wrought by the cloud-burst out of town
is awful, and can only be ascertainerl
definitely when the means Of cUmmuni-
cation is restored. 4 man NAMED kelz
was washed away by Bogg's Run. and
he and his horses were drowned. -Four
lives were lost at Elm Grove, FIVE miles
east
