The house was crowded.

The house was crowded.
There were % females in the house,
10 on the stage and in the audience.
The remainder of the big house was
made up of lawyers, doctors, clerks,
workingmen, boys, cOlored and white,
and old fellows. All were surprised
that the performance was so good.
They did not expect it. The women
were prettier than is usual with such
ham-fat spectacles, the gags, a la min
strel, were not as broad as the cork
ers generally give US, and the special
ties were excellent, including Hilton,
the contOrtionist. Nearly all the
members possess vocal talent and all
possess fine figures. Those who can't
sing can dance, and so the equilibrium
of the company is kept. In the soiree
de musicale entitled, Beauty in
Dreamland,n several new features
were introduced, including a series OF
tableauX that were presented In a
taultless manner and won hearty eX-

the Paymastern has made an I'M
questionable hit. The action of the
play takes place in Ireland. Colonel
Houghton, of the Twenty-second
regiment of Her Majesty's infantry,
stationed at Inslavogue, County Cork
Ireland, is in love with an Irish heir
ess, Ethel Miley. But he has been
superseded in the lady's affection by
the Lieutenant and Paymaster OF the
regiment, Robert Emmett O'Connor.
Enraged beyond measure by this, he
steals the regimental funds and at
taches the blame for the loss on the
Paymaster. The latter is arrested
and on the point of conviction, when
he escapes by a terrific leap from the
prison tower into the river below.
His friends believe in his innocence,
and finally the guilty Colonel is very
cleverly unmasked by Miss Miley
herself. Fooled and fearing accusa-
ton and detection, he attempts to
murder her, and fling her into the
InslavOgue river, whence she is res
cued by OCOnnor. Then in the end
the COlOne's theft is discovered.
O'ConnOr is restored to his rank,
Ethel Miley becomes his wife, and
they live happily ever afterward.

An Ontario Railroad Disaster.

most passengers, was thrown clear off the
bridge, turning completely over and lighting

against a pier and the passenger car remains
on the bridge, having stripped the ties ahead
of it .over the :, section that collapsed.

Pigott, the Perjurer.

In the British Parnell commission Sir
Charles Russell stated that Richard Pigott
went to the residence of Mr.. Henry Labou-
chere. and in the presence of Mr.. George Au-
gustus !Sala singed a confession stating that
the letters upon which the Times based
its charges against the Irish members of the
house OF commons were forgeries. Sir Charles
Russell applied for q warrant for the arrest
OF Pigott. Presiding Justice Hannen said a
warrant would be ready in an hour. Attor-
ney, General Webster, for the Times, said no
other witness was ready, and that he would
have to consider what course to pursue. He
would also have to decide whether or not he
would resume any part of the case.
When Pigott was called to take
the stand he did not appear. After the court
had waited for some time counsel for the
Times stated to the judges that Pigott had
left the hotel at which he was stopping alid
that the counsel were ignorant Of his whore
abouts. This statement caused a sensation
in the court room. Pigott in his confession
to Mr.. Labouchere on Saturday said that he
forged all the letters secured by the Times
which purported to have been written by
Messrs. Egan, Parnell, Davitt and O'Kelly:
He also admitted that he had been guilty of
perjuryin his evidence given before the COM
mission. Mr.. Soames, solieitorGor the Times
emphatically denies doing anything, directly
or indiEectly, to assist Pigott to make his
escape. e. n -, a.. =,
