A LEGAL WRECK.

Mir. William Gillette's new comedy; "A Legal Wreck" was presented to a small au- dience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. The play is very clever satire upon the forms and ceremonies of the legal profession. Most of the action takes place on the sea coast of Maine, and two frst-rate specimens of honest sea-faring men are introduced iR the persons of "Csptain Ed'ard Smith" and "Jonathan Mazey" The principal charac- ter, however, is "Richard Merriam, Esq.," young lawyer who developes an entirely original method of legal procedure in work ing up his first case. The part of "Olive Gray" the captains ward, was we'll taken by Miss Leila vane, but she was too full of laughter to appear at her best. The compa- ny is 8 very good one and there ought to be large audiences this afternoon and evening, uhan tha nlaY will ha repaated.

Accident on she Brooklyn Bridge as
 the Heaviest Traffic Time - The
 Bridge Blockaded by ThOusands of
 PeopIe-No one Killed.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-There was an acci- dent on the Brooklyn bridge this evening about o'clock, the heavy traffic hour, which caused the greatest of confusion. Two cars heavily loaded with people oollided, but luckily no one was killed. The platforms of both cars were smashed, and Brakeman John McWilliams' foot was crushed. Kate Mur- tagh, of No. 174 Butler street, sustained bruises on the head and was taken to the hospital. The accident was caused by the failure of the hand-brakes to work, which are used after the grip" has been released on approaching the terminus. The cars were crowded with passengers who were thrown into confusion by the shock, but Miss Mur- tagh was the only one injured badly enough to require medical attendance. The greatest inconvenience to the public was that caused by the stoppage of traffic on the bridge while the damaged cars were being removed. This occupied half an hour, and the blockade ex- tended from one end of the bridge to the other. Crowds of impatient people obstruct- ed the New York entrance to the bridge, un- able to get transportation. Truck drivers and hsckmen resped 8 rich harvest by taking loads of people across by the driveways. Thousands of others walked over

 Patrons of the New Haven Opera House have @ rich treat in store for them this week if the production last evening is 8 criterion ot what is to come. Miss Jeannie Winston and the Lyceum Opera company opened 8 weeks engagement at this house with an ac- ceptable rendering of the well-known opera ''Boecscoio." The opera was given in 8 thoroughly frst-class manner. Of course, Miss Winston, as 'Boccsccio," WAS the cen- tral figure. She was very captivating in her portrayal of the leading male role. Her voice is clear, rich and musical and her ac- tions are very graceful The company is remarkable for it's general smooshness and the volume of the chorus is indeed very good Miss Annie Leaf as Flametta, and Alice Gaillard, as Peronella, were excellent. The former has remarkably strong, tuneful voice. Stuart Harold, as the Prince, sang and acted his part we'll, while Louis Carleerg and Claude Brooks, as Lotteringhi and Lam berluccio, respectively made all the fun possi- ble out of their roles.

question, Senator Mariscal says that diff
ferent nations take different grounds.
Writers OF international law are not by
any means agreed upon the subject.
Some nations grant more extension than
Others rs TO extra territorial effects oil
laws. Mexico is not by any means alone
in her position, several other nations
90 as far as that country does. He in.
forms the Government that several OF
the States contain the same provision OF
law that is found in the Mexican code.
This being the situation, Senior Mariscal
argues that the United States Govern
ment makes an assertion too sweeping
in pronouncing the Mexican law at var
lance with the law OF nations, and insists
that it is at least an open question
whether the extra territorial effect goes
too far. :.
In conclusion Senior Mariscal offers, il
the United States wishes, to have con-
vention between the two countries with
a view of establishing uniform and ac-
cepted principles on the subject which
shall be mutually enforced hereafter.
The Mexican Secretary's reply makes q
printed pamphlet OF forty-tive pages. It
Is courteous and diplomatic throug hout,
and there is hardly any doubt that it
gives Mexico thus far the best OF the
controversy, adding one more to Mr..
Bayard's long list Of blunders.

DISAPPOINTED TREASURE HUNTERS
Return without ccnt-A Ship Mt tho
Bottom Of the Sea.

Return Without Ccnt-A Ship Mt tho
Bottom Of the Sea.
Providence, r. l., April 23.-0ne
night, some months ago, the schooner
yacht Maria sailed from New York har-
Dor for the Spanish main.
AT noon yesterday a lumber schooner,
the Williamine, from Apalachicola, Fla,
brought to this port nine men and two
boys, the captain, mate and crew OF the
Maria, They had not a cent, and the
yacht lies at the bottom Of the deep blue
sea.
The voyage Of the Maria was at first
shrouded in mystery. Afterward it was
learned that she was bound for Belize,
Central America, to dig for buried treas
ure, which John B. Peck, who headed
the expedition, pretended to believe ex-
listed there. The Maria reached Belize
all right, but tho expedition went TO
pieces before fair trial was had at treas
ure digging.
Peck left the party and came home by
way OF New Orleans. 1t is said that he
went to New Orleans to get machinery
to work with. The crew got off on the
last day OF March, but had 10 come to
anchor and take to the pumps, On April
| they pointed the Nlaria's nose for the
open sea. On the 4th they were in
sight OF Cuba, and that night were of
the San Antonio Lighthouse. The Maria
was leaking fast, and the next day the
water came through the cabin floor and
the yacht began to settle, A Nova SEQ
tia ship, the Arbela, bound for Buenos
Ayers, rescued them, and the Maria
sank to the bottom. The treasure-hunt-
ers were afterwards taken on board the
Williaminc and brought to this port. g.
J. Ward is the late Maria's master, and
Mate Barrett and Steward X. A. Annett
are OF the party. They expect to go to
New York.
The Treasury Department was on the
lookout for the mysterious Maria as q
buccancer or tilibuster, when it discov-
cred that the commander was a special
treasury agent. Since his return, it is
said, Secretary Fairchild has asked for
and obtained Captain Peck's resigna-
ton. Itmay be that the Maria went for
gold, but the principal apparatus aboard
was rum.
