evening. The character OF Noah Vale. q
seedy genius, is especially adapted to Mr..
Russelps peculiar style Of comedy work,
and the absence OF cheap horseplay IL a
welcome relief. There Is also an ele-
ment OF pathos In the character which
Mr.. Russell brings ont uncommoniy well.
IL Is comparatively easy for Mr.. Rus
sell to make people laugh; indeed, that
seductive smile alone will bring down
the house. but when be can touch the hearts
OF bis audience, NJ he did last night In the
bits OF psthos which are delicaiely inter-
woven with the comedy. Il stamps him as an
artist whose abilities are not confned 10 the
limits which inclose most comedians. The
play teens with bright lines, and some OF the
situations, notably the cl;maxes at the end
OF each set, are strong, and 10 some places
they are reached so quickly as 10 intensity the
effect.
Pcsllops as rendered by Miss 0sburn Is
exceedingly lsugbsbe, and she brought out
with telling effect every feature OF the part

made iue impression as Dolly Fave, and
Mt. Byron Douglas made very creditible
villain, though he might improve the role.
The Others OF the cast were satisfactory.

Is the most successful play that has been

OF the Cases.

In the Police Court Yesterday morning
George Elicit, col0red man, was charged
with stealing gold watch, the property oil
some person unknown. The case was cons
tInued until next Thursday the 3lst, so as 10
allow the officers time TO lind the owner OF
the timeplece. The watch Is supposed TO be
the property OF a lady who about week ago
went to Hariedt the pawnbroker, and re-
ported that her watch, the number OF which
she did not know, had been stolen. The
lady's name was not learned.
Julia Edmonds, a colOred woman, was
charged with fraudulently removing aud Sc
creting 1 bureau and glass, l looking
glass, 1 chrome. pair lace curtains, motto,
1 round table, old safe, and l old press,
goods and chattels that had been dlstrained

JUDGE wADDILL's sEPOsITIONs.
One Witness ON the stand the Entire
Day-DuII Proceedings

Four Eotaries public were engaged the
whole OF yesterday taking depositions for
Judge Waddll In his contest for the seat in
the FIfty.frst Congress to which Hon.
George ID. Wise holds the certificate Of cleo
ton from the State Board OF Canvassers.
As on Wednesday the progress made was
exceedingly slow. Only about seventeen
witnesses were examined before the
four notaries, and the proceedings through
out were monotonous and even boring.
Three noiaries-Messrs. Wilson, Donnan,
and Masurier-were taking the depositions
OF eol0red parties who claim 10 have been
kept standing in line all day at the Jackson
Ward precincts unable TO vote. and who
cast their ballots in special boxes kept by
the SPECIAL United States commissioners
after the polls had closed.
The general testimony az TO the conduct OF
the election in Jackson Ward Is being taken
before Mr. John W. HelbIg. Mr.. Allan IL
conducting this examination for Judge Wad-
dill and Messrs. Meredith and Elicit are
representing the interests of Captain Wise.
Mr.. FIegenheimer was to have been the no
tary, but for some reason he did not serve
and the services OF Mr. Helbie. who is one OF
the most rapid notaries engaged In the work,
were secured. Mr.. Harvey Wilson is doing
bis work on the typewriter, and it is not
only done well, but rapidly.
Only one witness testified before Mr.. Hell
big-J. W. Patterson, young cOlored man
who acted as "checker" for the Repubi-
cans at the Second precinct. Jackson Ward.
He took the stand at 10 A. VI. and was still
being cross examined al $50. The contest
ants counsel asked him eighteen questions
and the attorneys for the cOntestee about
140.
The most interesting incident OF the day
occurred in Dir. Wilson's office, when Car
ter Marshall, who was called the "ghOst +"
witness, deposed. Captain Wise, in bis
answer TO Judge Wsddilrs notice OF contest.
said that he would prove that Carter
Marshall, who the contestant claimed was
kept standing In line all day, bad been dead
for many months. Many ridiculous ques-
tions were propounded TO the witness, and
the little episode occasioued considerable
merriment. Carter, who is tiity-seven years
old. had a son aged twenty-siX who died
some months ago. He made this statement.
which explained the mystery.
The questions asked the witnesses by coun-
sci for the Hon. George ID. Wise. though
numerous, are by no means frivolous. Com
sidering the character and intelligence OF the
deponents. this course is indispensable In or
der TO test the accuracy OF the statements OF
these supporters OF Judge WsddilI. Much
OF their evidence u vague and conflicting,
and 1t is only by searching ss-questioning
that the truth or anything like IL can be
elected hence the necessity for the rigorous
interrogatories put to these witnesses by the
gentlemen representing the contestee.

SEVERAL DECISIONS.
CASES ApJuDIcArvD BY TIE sur1EMH
COURT yesterday.
Opinion In an Alexandria Bank Suit
whsrs the Directors Rather Than
the pepositors Must Lose.

In the Supreme Court OF Appeals yester.
day the case OF Marshall against the Farm
ers' and Mechanics Savings Bank OF Alex.
sndria, from the Circuit Court Of the city
OF Alexandra, was reversed, Judge Lacy de.
livering the opinion; Judge Fauntleroy
concurring. and Judge Hinton concurring
in the result; Judges Lewis and Richardson
dissenting.
This was q case where the directors had
been negligent in the performance OF their
duties and had allowed the bank officers 10
do pretty much IS they pleased. the directors
only meeting on the rarest occasions. The
bank finally closed its doors, aud not being
able TO pay up the depositors and other cre-
diiors the directors were sued to make good
the deficit.
Judge Lacy quoted az the best exposition
OF the law oipegligence the opinion OF Judge
Robert w. Hughes In the Dollar Savings
Bank case. and, after full aud able exami-
nation OF the law and numerous authorities,
concluded that the directors were liable.

AKDERsoN's CASE SUBMITTED,
And the Jury Adjourned over Until
This Morning..

The case OF David Anderson, the colored
man charged With burglarIously entering
the house Of Rev. w. e. Hall, Ia Henrico
couoty, in May, 1856, and sssaulting Mr.
Hall, with intent TO kill, is now in the hands
OF the jury. and verdict IS expected this
morning.
The trial, which Is IN the Ilenrico Circuit
Court before Judge Welltord, II now seems.
will be much shorter than the former one,
when Anderson was convicted and his pun.
ishment fixed at seven years in the peniten-
tiary.
The case was opened Monday morning,
but nothing was done the first day except to
get the Jury. The evidence was concluded
yesterday about Z. NJ, and after dinner
the argument began, Common wealtRs-At-
torney Thomas making the opening speech.
Messrs. William II. Beveridge and George
Bryan followed as named. and the latter did
not linIsh bis argument until about O'Clock.
Mr.. Thomas then closed the ease and the
iury were taken to the hotel 10 spend the
night.
The evidence this time has been the same,
substantially, that IL was before, with no
new features Of public interest. Those who
heard all OF the testimony say that IL was
equally a. strong, II not stronger, than on
the former trial. There was \ very large
crowd al the courthouse all day yesterday.

Tho ROAD 60 nsy.n Pines.

Work has been entirety suspended on the
road from Church Hin to Seven Pines since
the latter part OF last week aud certain mate
rials will have TO be gotten before what re.
mains 10 be done can be accomplished. Mr..
4. W. Childs, OF New York, who Is perhaps
more largely interested In the enterprise
than any one else, IL expected In the city to-
day, aud II Is hoped that bis VISIT will result
In the work being pushed to hasty compile
ton. Neither member OF the contracting
tiI IN OF Thomas Barry 4 Co. was At their or
tice yesterday when a Dispatch reporter
called, hut their clerk said that the track
could be entirely completed in about two
days. The trestling not being finished
sooner has caused slight delay In the other
work, but with the needed materials here the
entire road can be made ready for use inside
OF three days.
The fats and the box-car for the material
train have already arrived and the engines
are here also. One OF the engines was made
at the shops Of The Richmond Locomotive
and Machine-Wo and the other Is the
dummy now on Broad street. The passen-
ger.cars bave been ordered, but they are not
due until the lapse OF 8 certain time after
the material train shall have been started. II
sl things work fsyorsbly there is no reason
WHY both freight and passenger trains may
not be running In few weeks.
The company have secured the site at the
battle. field terminus for certain needed
buildings, and they propose laying of = park
and in other ways besutiiying and improving
the place. A shed and wsltiug,room are
also TO be built az the Tweuty-sixth- Street
! terminus. This route will doubtless prove
very popular after the opening OF spring.
