From HehrIng Sea.

VICTORIA. B. c., September S.-The Brit
ish sealing schooner Triumph has arrived
here from Behring Sea- She has 900 skins,
which is considered remarkably poor catch.
The Black Diamond has made the largest
Behring Sea catch, she having 900 skins. The
Triumph has made total catch for the sea-
son of 1.700 skins. None of the Victorian
sealiDg.schooners were interfered with by the
American cutters. The catch Of the entire
feetin Behring Sea is failure, and the high
price sealskins now command is the only
thing that saves the fleet. The Triumph was
the frst schooner that arrived last season,
and it was she that brought the startling
news of the seizure of the Black Diamond.

NO FEARS FOR THE BALTIMORE.
She Has Probably Been Running
Slowly TO save Coal.

WASHINGTON, September S.-Naval off,
GERS attach no Importance to the reports
published this morning to the effect that
fears are entertained for the safety of the
Baltimore, which left New York on August
% to carry the body of John Ericsson to
Sweden. They say that the Baltimore sails
by more southerly route than that taken
by record-breaking transatlantic liners. and
the slower vessels which might have sighted
her are probably not in port themselves to
give out the news. As to her failure to make
her port within two weeks, it is said that
there is no occasion for good time being
made, and that she is probably steaming
along leisurely and saving coal. The wealth
er In the English channel, cable reports say,
is thick and foggy, and it may be that the
Baltimore has passed up the channel with
out being noticed. Within day or two na-
val officers expect to hear of her safe arrival
in Gothenburg.

THE THEATRE.
An Ovation TO a Talented Company In
Good Play.

The third really first class theatrical
attraction Of the season was the magnet
which filled the opera house last evening.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
ranking plays we're Russell's Poor ReIa
ton and Goodwin's Gold Nine. A
splendid audience, including the best
people OF the city, did homage to Miss
Ellsler, Mr.. Weston and a support that
was equal to all requirements.
The G~oveyness is a warm, fascinating
home comedy-drama In four acts. 1t is
most pleasantly devoid of sensationalism
and gains and holds the attention of the
audience. The story Is a good one. the
action natural, the plot not intricate, but
still not lacking in depth. AS a play TIE
tale is refreshing, a dramatic tonic.
Miss Ellsler. who is a charming little
body, acted with artistic force and finish
throughout. She was skillful and unaf
fected in the ordinary dialogue and stronl
in the climaxes. In "Zorah Warden
she has a character unrivalled since th,
day of her Hazel Kirke."
MIR. Frank Weston, one OF the fore
most leading men, put the delicate touch
of his great genius on Jarvis Coulter
the best man of the world given tn,
stage in many a year. Coulter" is tn,
same stamp, but an infinitely bette
character than Burton Ii. Barnes" Mr.
Weston is a large, handsome, graceful
man, and has interpreted Coulter" al
none other could. He becomes in reality
the character he takes.
Owen johnson, John A. Ellsler, Pau.
r. Overton and Miss Emma Butler were
excellent. There were several curtain
calls.

THE WEEK IN REALTY.
Sale of About 700 Cheyenne Ad-
diti0n Lots.
Most of the Purchasers We're
Outside People.
A Good Movement in Residence
and Business.

On the surface the local realty market
for the week just closed did not seem
overly active, but there was an undercur-
rent OF heavy volume, an almost invisible
but telling movement hat spurred on he
anguine and attested the honesty oil
what has been called a boom, but has been
aptly and truthfully word painted or an
outburst OF confidence in the future great
ness of the beautiful capital of peerless
Wyoming.
Most of the transactions were in add
ton lots, though upwards of twenty
pieces of inside residence property
changed hands at figures which increased
with each transfer.
The initial ripple was the sale of 1872
Interior Heights lots to a Portland, Ore,
syndicate. Then a number were placed
with an Omaha pool which includes a
couple of Union Pacific officials. Denver
people took some more. trading by mail.
The Interior week closed very strong with
the sale of 16O lots to Lincoln and Omaha
men. Manager Bridges and the mem
bers of his able staff are extending the
c~ompany's field. They are advertising In
almost every state in the union and have
correspondents in all the large cities.
+. d. Carper, who is now in Chicago,
spent the week at Denver. He reported
the sale of forty acres near the city for
$4,000.
ED. Sloan was i'll part of the week but
managed to create q 81 900 demand for
Mob Hill lots, letting twenty-rour go tor
that sun
Theo. Menges, who never felt really at
home until he settled in Cheyenne, re-
ceived yesterday a letter which filled him
with satisfaction and regret in equal parts.
His Kanaas agent reported the sale in
that state of " over 200 lots" in Minneha
ha and Fairview additions, both adjoining
the city and both pretty pieces. Of course
Mr.. Menges had the lots on sale, but he
says he is losing 800 on each one by
selling now. He agreed with A. D..
Kelley that they would double in
value in ninety days.
Garland & Co.. one of the city's most
energetic firms, rather caught the cream
of local business for the week. They
made several good sales and in a couple OF
instances handled the same property more
than once.
Manager Woodward of the Cheyenne
agency had several bargains taken from
his list.
Riner & johnson closed up a sl2, 900
sale Of Capitol avenue property and made
some smaller sales.
A number of residence lots were sold
by Newman & Miller to new comers.
V. Baker received final payments from
at least three out OF town customers. Mr..
Bsker Is bringing in considerable foreign
capital.
Between writing insurance and renting
houses Col, Sitter did some selling.
Emil Dion. a ~tireless operator, wiped
half a dozen South Side offerings off his
slate.
Kinnison & Mccartney, who have
been making a specially of options, report
a satisfactory week,

Two Texas men were notable fguers on
Cheyenne streets yesterday. Both are
giants and each wears a sombrero, one
white, the other black. They are Sher.
if McLain and Deputy Stelzer, of Mon
tague, Montague county.
These officers are en- route to Sheridan,
where is held Frank Clark. who set hre to
the Montague county court house in 1884.
McLain traced Clark to this country and
located him In the Wyoming town.
Clark's brother had been indicted fol
grand larceny and the incendiary thought
to aveDge the insult offered his family.

This is the opening run of the season
and great joy is anticipated. Several
novices will be in the squad and the veto

the possibilities In the direction of long
distance wheeling.

The MosT DISGUSTING OF MURDERs.-It
falls to our lot to chronicle this week the
most diabolicsl murder ever committed in
Lancaster county.
On the night of tho 23rd ultimo a painter
named Gus Hennis, living in Flat Creek
township, was brutally murdered by Rochel
Catoe, . bright young mulatto and, as he
claims, another negro named Will Clyburn.
Clyburn is etill At large, but Catoe and tho
wife Of tho murdered man are now in Jail
Tho negro Roohel Catoe and the wife Of
the murdered man, Hennis, had for some
been intimate. Mrs. Henuis who is n white
woman, a native of North Carolina, and about
nineteen years Of ago says that she had pre-
viously told her husband that Catoe was 60
ing to kill him, his object being to get full pos
session Of her, though she claims that she
did not tell Mr.. Hennis the object the negro
had in Wow. The negro himself says
that Mrs Hennis had repeatedly asked him
to kill her husband.
Both parties admit that on the night of
the murder Catoe called at Hennis house,
and when invited in, produced a flask of
whiskey out of which all hands drank freely.
After remaining some time Catoe expressed a
desire to 60 home and asked Hennis to 20
out with him and show him the public road.
Catoe and his victim went out into the dark
tok0ehSA ohU Wi Sooh thO WIG VI tHc lftlCE
heard cries of distress by hor husband. But
she admits that she paid no heed TO them,
nor did she ever make any inquiry or inves-
tigation as to the whereabouts of her hus-
band On the contrary, she says that short
ly after the departure of Catoc and Hennis
the former returned and spent the remain
dor Of the night, after admitting that he had
killed her husband.
Neither Mrs Hennis and her infamous part
ner in crime, Catoe, seem TO realize the cnorm-
ity Of the offence committed. Catoc showed
no feeling whatever in conversing about the
killing. He is about ~ years DID,, aud is n
man of ordinary intelligence. lie is badly
bruised up, having qeen beaten by parties
who first discovered his connection with the
murder. 1t is wonder that he is living to-
day, for if lynch law was ever justifable it
locks 9s If it might have been brought into use
in ecase.-Lancoster Reriew.
