Hazards Pavilion.

A. R. Wilber's Comedy Company,
opened four weeks engagement in
the Pavilion last night in the SEN
sational comedy melo-drama Of
Stricken Blind. The mammoth build
ing was literally packed to the doors,
every seat and every available space
of standing room being occupied.
The jam was so great at the box
office that hundreds went away, being
unable to gain admission. The
crowd inside of the building was esti-
mated to be four thousand people.
The plot of Stricken Blind reveals the
hand of careful and skilled
playwright. There is good ground
for plot and it was clearly marked
out. The play was excellently mount
ed, careful attention was given to
every stage detail, and the production
was greatly enhanced by the good
scenery. Miss Julia Arthur essayed
the leading role, and proved herself
to be a very clever actress, being
especially strong in the emotional
scenes. John D. O'Hara undoubtedly
was the favorite with the audience
for his natural and exceedingly funny
delineation of Solomon Isaacs the un
scrupulous Jew. Frank Peters as
Gilbert Midland and j. G. HUFF;
man as Mathew Thornton de
monstrated that they were care
full and painstaking actors. Tht
rest OF the cast was very acceptable
and showed the company to be {
strong and evenly-balanced organiza
ton. A very pleasing feature Of thu
evenings entertainment was the sing

MURDER In CANADA.
A Returned Californian Pulls the
Trigger.

MONTREAL, August 16.-Particulars oi
q murder at Coteau Landing, forty miles
here, are at hand. Some DAYS ago cat
tie drover from st. Anicet. named Alex.
HI. GAIA, told Eli Pilon, the son of ho-
tel keeper at Coteau, that he was going
to Montreal and would return shortly for
the purpose of getting married. Last
evening young Pilon went to the 10
O'Clock train from Montreal, and there
met GAIA, who, being considerably under
the influence of liquor, wanted Pilon to
drive him and his trunk and valise to
the st. Anicet boat. They started for the
landing. but when they came to the no.
tel Pilon refused to 60 any further as it
was too dark. This angered GAIA and
hot words passed, during which GAIA
pushed Pilon off the wagon and kicked
him. The noise brought down Pilon,
senior, who tried to interfere.
Without the least warning GAIA
drew a revolver and fired, the ball
striking the elder Pilon in the heart.
After the murder GAIA walked quietly
back to Coteau Station, and meeting two
of the station hands, asked them to have
a drink. They assented, and after drink
ing he discharged his revolver at them
twice. After that he remained lounging
about the station till about II O'Clock,
when he was lost sight Of. His trunk
and valise were filed with fine wearing
apparel and number of papers showing
that he had at one time been at Butte
City. Mont, and Murray, Idaho. The
murderer was seen at St. Polycarpe this
morning. GAIA returned last winter
from the gold fields of California, where
he had amassed fortune of 5000, ,0O0
He married one OF his cousins a few
weeks ago. A life of inactivity was more
than he could bear and he became en-
gagged in the cattle trade. He is about

tAssociated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. !
New YORK, August 16-In response to
the question. "Will Blaine go to Califor-
mia ?' Secretary Fassett, of the Republi-
can National Committee, said:
II don't know. 1t hasn't been settled
yet. Colonel Estee, Chairman of the
Chicago Convention, has written very
urgent appeal for Blaine. He thinks
Blaine's presence en- the Pacific Coast
would be a compliment his people would
appreciate, and that it would help the
party. The committee has not decided
in the matter, however. There are some
things that stand in the way of Blaine's
going to California. Probably the most
important point is the length Of time it
will take for him to make the trip. We
think we can hardly spare him from the
East. Then, if he should go to Califor-
mia, the Republicans of every State he
would pass through would want him to
stop, and would be mad if he didn't"

EAsTERN FRUIT CROP.
Grapes and Peaches in Abundance.
other CROPS Short.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, August 16.-Re-
ports to the New England Homestead
covering the fruit-growing regions of New
England, New York and Michigan, show
an enormous yield Of grapes in all Sec
tions; remarkably short crop of pears
of all varieties; a curtailed yielG OF
plums. and full crop OF peaches in Della
ware, Michigan and other sections where
commercially grown, with very limited
production in the peach orchards of
Southern New England. High prices
are considered positively certain for
pears and plums, and medium values for
grapes and peaches, but grapes held for
the winter market will doubtless COM
mand comparatively fancy prices. The
apple crop on the whole is considerably
less than an "even year." owing to
drouth in some sections, cold weather al
time of blooming and the premature
dropping of fruit.
