The application of John g. Nelson, as
receiver for Edwin st. John, for leave
to pay the claims of certain laborers,
came up before Judge McCluer yester-
day; but as no one appeared to oppose,
the court held the question open until
the receiver shall return from the scene
of st. Johns logging operations and re-
port to the court the condition of af-
fairs there as he found them. The
aclaims are those of woodsmen who
worked for st. John during the winter,
and are liens upon the logs. They are
held by about 100 different laborers.

A crowded house, unbOunded popu-

lions of amateur dramatic talent ever
given in Saltwater characterized the
production at the opera house last even
ing Of kathleen Marvourneen;;"
though, despite the excellent material
at hand, SO great success would have
been impossible except for the intelli-
gent and interchangeable work of the
stage manager and general director,
John +. Burke, himself a gentleman of
locally established bistriOnic reputa-
ton. The role of Kathleen was carried
well and consistently by Mrs. j. S.
O'Brien, from whose first appearance
as the simple peasant till the close of
the dream action running through sub
Sequent acts, the audience was charmed
by her grace of manner and forcible
&C ting. Especially in the crag scene.
where occurs her attempted murder by
Rody and the rescue by Terence, was
her work III the highest degree
creditable, and the same may be
said of Mr.. Goodman as Ter
ence and W. III. Welch as
Black Rody. Mr.. Goodman, had much
to do throughout the drama and ac-
Quilted himself with characteristic
credit. In his reading he has greatly
corrected certain defects that were ap-
parent in his former appearances. An
other most admirable piece of work was
the Kavanaugh of Robert j. Welch,
who knows how to do the polished
villain with ease and grace. John
OShaughnessw' Jr.. sustained two
characters in way that commends him
as a discriminating and painstaking
actor. The minor parts were all in good
hands, and the performance as whole
eminently satisfactory. A feature of
the performance was the singing of
Kathleen as she fails asleep, and her
Interpolation of "Wearin' o. the
Green" also the song Moonlight Will
Come Again." given between the third
and fourth acts, by Messrs. Wingand,
Ballentine, and Misses Walsh and Mac
key.
