Not Sweeney,a Rodv.

BRIDGEPORT, May 3.-The dead body brought to this city proves not to be that of Sweeney, the missing man from this city. It was much decomposed and had evidently been in the water two months. The cloth ing also showed that this drowned man was not Sweeney. Arrangements have been made to have the river about the foot of Thirty first street pier dragged and reward offered for the recovery of the body. The unclaimed hat and umbrella left on the steamer Elm City have been fully identified as the property of Sweeney, so that scarcely 8 doubt remains as to his being the. person who went overheard and never reappeared to the view of those on board. He WAS a member of Park City council, K of O., and formerly belonged to the St. Augustine T. A. and L. society. He was married eighteen months ago and has child three months old. He was very temperate in his habite.

En1erIalnmenEs.

That most fortunate and popular comedi- an, MT. Henry E. Dixie, in his greatest suc- cess ''Adonis, p were greeted by a large au- dience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. There has been little or no change in the play, cast or music since it was last present. ed here. There was the same clever danc- ing, recitations and limitations by MT. Dixie; the same polished villain by Mir. Gresham; the same worthy miller by MT. Howard; the same village maiden, marriageable daughters, tigers, and the happy, happy chorus that have made "Adonis" the most popular bur lesque ever given. The audience seemed to enjoy it almost as much as ever. The hit of the evening was the excellent singing by the Clipper quartette. From present appear. ances it seoms likely that Mir. Dixie will keep on playing ''Adonis" as long as Mir. Frank Mayo played "Davy Crockett"
