"Zitka" at the Opera House.

Harry c. Miners Dramatic Company presented the Russian drama "Zitka'' at the Opera House laat evening, the first of three performances to be given in this city, including matinee and evening perform ances to-day Considering the weather there was fair house. ssZitka" affords an excellent opportunity for strong acting and MT Miners company seem to appreciate the fact, but there is room for considerable improvement. Miss May Wheeler as Zitka Marsof gave creditable portrayal of the character but did not make the most of the scene with the count after the mar rage ceremony. In the dual character of nurse and countess among the exiles she is seen at an advantage. Henry Talbot as Count Petrosky was excellent. Fit Ray mond is not beautiful countess, but John F. Duff and Frank Rolleston, officers of the inmperial guard are first class, and the rest of the support is good. The audience was highly delighted with the piece and from the rise to the fall of the curtainiat the close of the performance paid the closest attention, frequently applauding, and at the end of the fifth act called Mir Tal- bot and Miss May Wheeler before the ,cnr- tain.

CORR WITHOUT COUNSEL.

Attorney Kendricl< Sick, and Messrs
 O'NeiI and Donahue Will Not Serve
 Without Pay.
 It was expected that Judge Cowel would this morning hear motion by Prosecuting Agent Colley to dissolve the tempor- ary injunction granted by him to re strain the County Commissioners from re- voking Joseph Corr's liquor license. The hearing on the revocation was set down for yesterday, but was adjourned for two two weeks pending the dissolution of in junction. Attorney Greene Kendrick, counsel for Corr, was not in court at the time assigned for the hearing, and mes senger dispatched to find him stated thst he was at home indisposed.
 Mir Colley said that he had notified MT Kendrick that he should make motion before Judge Cowel this morning to dis solve the injunction.
 Attorney O'Neil said that he had been spoken to about the case, but he had seen no money and did not propose to do any work until he got the pay.
 Attorney Colley said MT Kendrick was not here and there was no indication that appeared to him to be burlesque.
 GAS far as it being burlesque it has always been the custom for court to sign an injunction. If MT Kendrick is sick we ought to wait reasonable time. !" re- piled the court.
 Attorney Terry asked that the case be set down peremptorily on Monday morn ing. Ordinarily he would not ask such 8 course, but it had been the practice that the party securing temporary injunction should always be ready to hear the motion to dissolve such injunction. I am more strenuous in this case on account of it hay ing been decided by several judges in this state, and also by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. In view of all the circum- stances in the case I ask that it be set down peremptorily for Monday, concluded MT Terry.
 MT Donahue said that he did not con sider that he had been retained. MT O'Neil said he was not retained. ''If we are to argue great constitutional questions, said MT O'Neil, Eve want our money"
 Attorneys O'Neil and Donohue continued to argue in favor of an adjournment, when Attorney Terry objected to the court hear ing fnKyers who had nothing to do with the MT Fsrryswas of the opinion if MT Keharick had the proper care he could be in court Monday.
 The court finally fixed Monday for a hearing.

first dramatic entertainment, at Manuerchor

the members, presented with pleasing eff
feet Considering their inexperience the lead
parts ns taken by Misses Theresa Pich and
Annie E. Gordon, George Wuensch, Oscar
Wuensch, b. E. Br@ndlin and Al Walker were
excelently done, and the latter's banjo solos and
comic songs especially elected much well-de
served applause. The zouavs drill, preceding
the performance, cut short owing to the
smallness of the stage. which made anything like
a good drill an impossibility. But in spite of
this. the zouaves did well. The play which in
cludeS among its features excellent moral
lesson, will be repeated of the theaters
within the next two or three weeks
