Shamrock" given at st. Michael's Hall

The entire centre OF the hall was re-
served for the boys, aud when they
marched in the rest of the seats were oc-
cupied. After that there was not even
standing room to be had
County Clerk Mclaughlin, genial as
always, occupied the seat of honor in the
centre of the first row much against his

grouped Superintendent Brown, SuDerin-
tendent Smith, Captain Kelly, Commits
sioners Madden and Cook, Sergeant
Reardon. President Minahan, Smiling
Frank Herrick, Commissioner Donnelly,
Judge O'DonEell aud Director Moran.
The boys invested much money in large

which were presented to Miss Katie
Barry, Miss K. Mallon and Miss NJ
Foley, the ladies of the cast. Miss Barry
just won the boys by her smart singing
and graceful dancing. She received en-
core upon encore until the management
was compelled to come to her rescue, be-
cause she had danced aud sung until she
was exhausted The gentlemen OF the
cast were:-Prof. j. L. Mackey of
the High School, Mr.. j. F. Moran,
James Donohue, L. A. Dunn, L. T. Carey
and G.. b. Kelly. whose characterization
was perfect. After the performance the
boys returned to the room and showed
what they could do in the line of enter
tanning each other. A supper finished
the delightful programme.
The prizes offered to the lady and gen.
tleman selling the most tickets were
won, the ladies' gold watch by Miss M.
Corrigan. and the gentleman's watch by
Mr. NJ Breen.

Then the Returns Were Ready for any
Figures Needed.
When the Court reconvened after recess
yesterday afternoon, George i. Stanton,
the officer whose place Siemohs took,
testified that he was called away by sick
ness in his family, and he requested
Siemons to act in his place. Stanton said
that early in the day the Election Board
signed the election returns iu blank.
Judge Lippincott examined Stanton
closely as to who told the Board to sign
the returns in blank, and why they did.
Stanton replied that the Board agreed in
the morning that they had better sign the
returns then when they had time. The
witness could not tell who suggested that
they sign the returns In blank. He saw
nothing illegal or out of the way at the
polls while be was there. Semons was
not at the polls and took no part in the
election until he came there to take the
place of the witness.
Fred. Mersheimer was called. but was
quickly dismissed when he swore that he
was not at that polling place during the
day.
The monotony of the proceedings was
relieved some what by O little, tilt over
some of the testimony of Coroner Brack-
ner, the neX9 witness. Slemons WIS in

he went out to his supper, He was away
longer than usual and when he returned,
Brackner asked him where he had been.
At this point Mr.. Black and Senator
Hudsoeth both objected and sparring
bout betweed them and the District At
torney followed.
The Judge decided that the question
was proper, and then Mr. Brackner con-
tinued. He said Simons told him of the
occurrence at the polls. A long mum Der
of witnesses followed who swore that
men who were registered. and had voted
from these houses did not live there at
the fall election of 1889, and uhen the
Prosecutor handed the ballots to the
jury for their inspection.
Mr.. Black asked Mr.. Winfield if he pro-
posed to press the indictment against
Siemons Mr.. Winfield replied that most
assuredly he did. The evidence had
shown that Siemons had remained at the
polls and had assisted In canvassing the
vote, and he had guilty knowledge Of
the conspiracy. Mr.. Black moved for
Siemons' discharge, but Judge Lippencott
denied the motion and said the case
should 60 to the jury.
The case then went over to this morning.

BADLY BUN COED.
A Man Who Seems to Have Been
Trapped Easily.

Man Who seems to Have Been
Trapped Easily.
Philip Benowentz, an humble "son of
lssackar," who heigntens the passion for
the beautiful among Horseshoe youths
by selling them green and
gold neckties at small store
next dor to the the Grove street police
station, was buncoed last night in most
arcadan fashion. A dull looking
expressman entered his diminutive
abode and respectfully placing
large box on the counter remarked in a
business-like tone:-"Thirty-five dol
lars, please; this is a C.. .. d."
The Israelite said:-"Oh, too much
my friend, too much" but the express
man swore loudly that no Gear hunted
Sheeney" should defraud him and Beno-
wentz unwillingly produced the shekels
and the polite expressman bowed
herself out while the descendant of Shy
lock gleefully rubbed his hands. Then,
with the deliberation of an
epicure, he united the knots
one by one, slowly unwrapped
the coverings and lifting the lid Of the
box within found an assortment by no
means choice, of rags and old newspapers.
Then slowly wrapping his fingers
in the air, his eyes bulging from their
sockets and his nose uncurving he gave u
nowl, grand and wide and deep; II
howl that never was heard on
land or sea before. Then he shrieked
and danced till he was speeechless and
exhausted. With what breath he had
left he told the police. and they are look
ing for the expressman.
