A TRIFLE TOO REALISTIC.
An Outraged Husband in the Play Injuries
His Playmate Wife.

His Playmate Wife.
Nelson Wheatcroft injected little re.
alism into the second act of "a Modern
Match" at the Duquesue Theater matinee
yesterday, that not only astonished the
audience but nearly rendered the leading
lady, Miss Minnie Seligman, hospital
subject. At the end of the act Mr.. Wheat
croft, in his part OF betrayed husband,
comes in to find his wife in the arms of O
lover. He knocks the 10 yer down and filings
his wife to one side, she falling in faint
upon the floor. Yesterday he was excited
in this scene, and when he threw Miss SeIig-
man, he gave her such impetus that she fell
violently to the floor, her head striking the
leg of sofa on the stage. The force Of the
fall stunned her. besides causing big lump
on the back of her head. The women in the
audience gave expression to their feelings
by suppressed "Ohs!' as the curtain went
down.
Behind the scenes, after Miss Seligman
had recovered, there was lively little tilt
as result of the accident, but through the
intervention of the manager the actors
shook hands and made up.

killed at his fathers house three miles from
Redding last night by officers who had beer
watching for him.
Aweek ago to-day Howard and Jones and
man named Jack Rice were arrested neal
Altures, Modoc county. Howard and Jones
were concealed in a wagon driven by Rice,
who is supposed to have brought The men
down from Lake county, Ore, where they
own ranches. The three prisoners travelled
in regular stage, being inside, with only
one guard. Jones and Howard had shackles
around their ankles and were fastened to-
gether. Rice also had leg irons on.
About $50 o'clock Sunday night the
party stopped about mile east of Hol-
combs station to water their horses All
of the prisoners said they were thirsty.
Carle, who was guarding them, got out, and
taking the glass passed it up to them to
drink. Thacker was at this time on the
front of the stage Ross and Miles were
behind in buggy. 1t was dark and rainy,
and the prisoner. improved this brief respite
to slip off their boots and remove the irons
over their feet.
Carle stepped back into the stage and the
progress toward Holcomb was resumed.
Ten minutes later Jones and Howard sud-
denly started up. and one jumped out of
on, door and the other out of the other
door. Carle remained in the stage to guard
Rice and shouted for help. Several shots
were fired at Jones and Howard, but in the
darkness no one was hit. Rice was taken
to Redding and was placed in Jail there as
accessory after the fact
1t was thought that Howard would make
for his fathers house near Redding, and
three men were placed in the house after
rested and lodged in Jail as an accomplice.
About u o'clock last night the watchers
heard the clatter of horses hoofs. They put
out the light in the room and awaited the
arrival of the man whom they had reason to
believe to be Bill Howard. They heard him
tie the animal and open the door to his
fathers bedroom, saying:
"Father, strike light; strike light"
As he opened the door they cried out:
"Hold up your hands"
Instantly Howard, with an oath, turned to
close the door. As he turned three shot
guns rang out. Howard Immediately fell
and soon expired. The Coroner's jury ex-
onerated the officers for killing Howard
Rice, the driver of the team, has made a
confession duplicating Howard and Jones
in the sensational robberies which occurred
lately. Search for Jones will be continued.

THF CLOrURE RESOLUTION.
When Debate Will Probably Ciose-The Out
look the Result.

look on the Result.
Mr.. Adrich has an idea that the democrats
take advantage of any information they get
as to his contemplated moves and prepare
to meet him. Therefore he will not give
any definite idea to when he will ask
that debate close on the cloture resolution.
There is a general understanding, however,
that he will make his motion before wednes-
day, or as early as possible. The speech of Mr..
Stewards today made considerable impression.
as was evidenced by the fact that the managers of
the force bill were annoyed by it. The republi-
cans who are open in their opposition to the
force bill and the cloture rule are getting more
aggressive each day. Messrs. Stewart, Teller
and Walcott are making an earnest fight and
will probably stop at nothing to defeat the bilh
There are seven Senators already declared in
opposition to the measure and at least many
more are known TO oppose it, but out
OF respect for their party managers
and disinclination to occupy the position
of bolters, have not vet screwed their courage
up to the point Of voting with the democrats.
With some inside the majority party and the
democrats fighting as if for their lives. the
chances of the force bill are not as bright as
they might be-
THE RULINGS OF THE CHAIR.
The rulings of the chair which got the cloture
resolution before the Senate have not so far
advanced things toward q conclusion, as the
friends Of the measure had hoped. Mr.. AID
rich Is evidently relying on the application
of the cloture rule before its adoption so TO
secure vote upon it. 1t will be argued by
some, of course, that if debate can be per-
emptorily closed now, before the rule is
passed, that there is no necessity for the rule.
If, as some folks think, Mr.. Morton rules that
a motion to close debate is not in order before
the adoption of the resolution, the idea being
that his decision will be overruled by an
appeal by his own party, it may happen that
tue vote on the appeal will be tie, in which
event the decision will stand.
