existed some undue excitement among
the Sioux at that place. Both officers

weak, owing to heavy Russian
shipments, which are partly
due to the rush TO clear off the stocks be-
fore Russia's ports are decked with Toe.
This weakness is also partly due TO hold

UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLING.
Harris-Texas Coal or Colorado Coal.
Tho state.

The case OF the State vs.. K. 5. Smith (,
Bob Rodgers, Frank Underdsw, Tom
Lawson, F. F. Smith, Bob Green and
T. J. Larkin, was taken up before Judge
Harris in the county court yesterday.
1t is an interesting case.
The defendants are charged with IN
lawful Assem- bling, and it is the first trial
of the kind ever made under the statute,
which was enacted shortly after the
great Southwestern railroad strike, and
was Alfred to prevent the seduction Of
laborerS from their work by means OF
force or Misrepresentation, to the detri-
ment of trade generally and TO the dam
age of the employers interest.
OF the defendants, r. 8. Smith and
7. j. Larkin are the agents OF two Cnlo-
RADIO coal companies which do some busi-
ness in Texas, but formerly did more.
Bob Rogers is a negro, man OF unusual
intelligence and sagacity for one of his
race, and who is suspected of being the
tool of Smith and Larkiu.
About fifteen days ago the defendants
were put under arrest on warrant sworn
OUT by q. w. Cohen, the employe OF the
Texas and Pacific coal company.
There are great many witnesses in
attendance on tho trial, officers and en-
ployees of the Texas and Pacific coal
company, and a few witnesses for the
defense.
The state is represented by County
Attorney Gillespie. assisted by Mr.. lrby
Dunklin, while Powell and Carlock.
assisted by Stanley, Spoonts and Meek,
appear for the defendant.
Yesterday the al progressed as far
as hearing the evidence for the state. 1t
was mostly of a ciroumstantial charac-
ter, though someSas qxfe damaging to
the defendants. II

LOST IN NEW YORK.

The Crowd Caught and Held-Ssme Excellent
Work.
The spectacular did its work last even
Ing at the opera house. There was u
large attendance, and the people, espe-
cially the gallery, which was crowded,
enjoyed the play hugely.
This is the third season in which the
same company has produced the same
play in Fort Wort, and the fact that
there was such attendance last nigh:
Gttests the favor in which the attraction
is held.
While 10 the close critic of the drama
there may be Grass flaws in the plot,
dialogue, staging and general produce
ton of Lost i'll New York as judged by
the usual standard OF such things, yet in
the popular mind the play is success.
even how ling success; and as the peo-
pie pay the money and are, therefore,
The Judges. Y no shall contradict?
While Lost in New York; is not de-
pendent entirely upon scenery for its eff
feet. yet those features are interviewer so
closely with the plot as to play quite an
important aud interesting part. There
are brilliant incidents in the play which
serve to keep up interest from beginning
to end.
The water and steamb boat scenes were
interesting, and these, with MIR. PiXley
in his dual role and Miss Lotte Alter as
the waif, carried the play right into the
hearts OF those who witnessed and heard.
Many other members of the company
might be mentioned particularly, but
suffice it that the ensemble was satisfac-
tory, and there is no reason why the
second presentation Tonight should not
be as well patronized as that of last
night.
SUCCESSFUL PLAY.
The re markab!e success of 1.-THE Great
Metropolis, - the big melodrGmntic spec
tacle which comes TO Greenwal's opera
house Wednesday aud Thursday, with
matinee on Thursday, is due quite as
much to the admirable construction of
the play itself as to the elaborate manner
Of its production in respect to scenic and
mechanical effects. Few melodramas
that have been presented in this country
combine as many elements which sue
coed in perfectly entertaining the audi
tor as are found in ''The Great Metropo-
lis. ~ Aside from the intense sensation
alisIn contained in the piece, such as the
superb storm at sea and shipwreck
scene, the episode on the East river at
night. which is thrillingly realistic, and
the intense dramatic situation ut the
finish of the second act, there is
clever intermugling of comedy
sufficiently marked to afford per-
feet relief from the pitch to which
enthusiasm is aroused by the
force of the dramatic element. and of
bright, sparkling character calculated to
create the most uproarlous laughter.
After the matinee on Thursday the au-
dence are Invited to visit the stage and
inspect the shipwreck scene, which will
be set and explained by the crew of life
savers who travel with the company.
They will show how wind, rain, thunder
and lightning are made, and many other

pose TO start this Home by Individual dOna-
