ADJUSTMENTS,

Nj METROPOLITAN THEATER.-The Webster
Brady Company presented after Dark :"
to fine audience last evening, and one
thoroughly pleased. Brady's Old Tom was
a splendid piece of acting, the best we have
ever seen. The scenery was good, the cos
tuning of the ladies very superior and the
water and London Bridge scene one of the
most realistic. Miss Boyle plunged into
the water, to the great delight of the
lovers of sensation, and Old Tom rescued
her in gallant manner. Hardly less
effective than the "real river of water u
was the underground railroad scene, and
the rescue from the track. Miss Laura
Biggar, in the third act, sang effect
lively some very pretty selections. A
new and very successful feature was
the appearance of Miss Marie Rene.
She is dancer of remarkable strength
and endurance, quick as a fash, graceful,
OF fine presence and gives the dances OF
many nations in very handsome costumes.
The rapidity with which she assumes and
puts OF these costumes is something aston
ishiDg. Just how it is effected is really
puzz,ing. The success of after Dark
was so pronounced last night that it has
wisely been resolved to reproduce it TO-
night with all the effects and specialties OF
last night. It ought to command crowded
house.

almost convinced that Shorty was progl-
ing around the county in the neighborhood
of Florin, and was not represented by the
charred remains that occupy an urn at the
City Morgue.
+. d. Ryan called at this Office last
evening and said he was positive in his
own mind that Shorty" was not in the
barn when ii burned. He had it from re-
liable authority that Shorty" on Sunday
night Went out to the ranch where he had
been employed. He arrived there drunk
and bleeding, and his employer discharged
him. He stayed ON the ranch Sunday
night and Monday night, took his blankets
Tuesday and went in the direction of
Florin hunting for work. A man answer
ing his description was seen at Florin
yesterday, and last evening F. d. Ryan and
Thomas kerwin's brother went ont in a
buggy to find him and bring him in. AL
though Kerwin whipped Shorty" on Sun
day there is no doubt but that he would
rather see him aad shake his hand to-day,
than any man in America.
The theory of those who think Shorty
is not dead is this: He was kicked in the
stomach, which paralyzsd him for the
moment. After he was taken to the barn
and given drink Of water he immediately
revived and, drunken man ike pulled
out his pipe struck match, set the hav
on fire and then seeing the predioament he
was in, ran out and started across the
country for home. When the fire vas dis
covered be was so far from the barn that
he was lost sight of.
The whole matter is shrouded in mys-
terry. One of the witnesses seems to think
that Shorty" was carried into the barn
more dead than alive, and that it would be
impossible for him to move about unas-
sisted. He and many others will hold to
the belief that "Sborty" went up in
smoke" until the real, simon pure. flesh
and blood Shorty" answers to his name in
the Police Court.

the man whom it was thought was muir
dered on Sunday last and afterwards Gre
mated in order to cover up the crime, is not
dead, but wandering around the country
looking for a job. If that is true, the mys-
terry surrounding the burning of Mrs.
Spellman's barn will be partially cleared
up, as will also the serious charge of mur-
der and arson filed against Thomas Ker.

Shorty both on Sunday night, on Monday,
Tuesday and yesterday morning. 1t is
stated that he was tramping across the
country from Walsh's station, his blankets
on his back. and striking out for pastures
new. A lady who resides on the Riverside
road, and who krows shorty well, says
he called at her place Sunday with a
"good-sized head on him. which he said
he got in a fight. His clothes were torn,
and the lady, at his request, sewed up some
rents and sewed on some buttons. She
says she don't care what the newspapers
publish, witnesses testify or Corcner's jury
find, she knows that shorty is not a
handful OF charred remains, but 160 pounds
of flesh and blood, and though consider
