>hHS
The following is FROM the Fort Wayne
Gazette:
Fort Wayne last evening witnessed its
first production of Alexander Dumas
celebrated C~cmencedu Case, and the
notoriety the play had resolved in advance
served only as a tendency to increase the
size Of the audience. The Masonic
Temple was packed to the doors by the cul-
tured people Of this city. The lower floor
was made up of ladies and gentlemen and
the balcony was literally jammed by the
gods who signifed their approval of the
production by ortbursts OF applause that
was at times deateniug. If any attended
thinking they would witness an immodest
performance they were sadly disappointed,
and after the play, this class plainly
showed their chagriu by their t.lk.
The company was a powerful one.
Miss Sibyl Johustone as liza" aud Miss
Jennie Reiffarth as the countess beng
in every way adapted to their difficult
roles. Miss JoAnst1ne is a woman OF rare
beauty and form and in the much talked
of statue scene, did not present any more
OF a suggestive figure than was seen here
lately in the chorus Of the McCaull Opera
company"

CHEERFUL NEWS.
The Motive Department Headquarters
Will Remain Here.
The Decision Was Officially Announced
Yesterday.
Su perlntendent M~ertshelmsr viii Remain
In Charge.
oecial Dispatch to The Leader.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
OMAHA, Jan. est was officially an
nounced from the Union Pacific head
quarters here today that Fred Mertsheimer
was AZ pointed assistant superintendent of
motive power to succeed Harvey Middle
ton. In this same connection it was an
nounced that the headquarters for the
department would remain at Cheyenne.
A great deal OF uncertainty has existed
regarding this latter matter. Soon after
the new management assumed charge of
the Union Pacific it was given out semi
au~thoritatively that the headquarters of
the motive department, recently removed
from here to Cheyenne. would be brought
back again, notwithstanding that a com
modious office building had been erected
at the latter point for the occupancy of
the motive power staff. For some time
it was considered almost definitely settled
that this conclusion had been reached, so
that the information giyeI forth today
was rather surprising.
1t is asserted IN railroad circles that
numerous changes in officials are con-
templated.

THE STORM.
a General Storm Throughout W yom-
ing---No Delay 10 Railroad Traffic.

Within the past two DAYS this section
has been visited by a snow fall equal
to about ten inches, three OF which have
already melted. The storm has been gen.
eral In Its character, but severest in Wyo-
ming and Colorado. During the whole
of Yesterday there was a continuous fall
of fue, feecy snow which did not pack
readily and hence was not calculated to
greatly impede travel.
Signal Officer Slaughter said last even
ing that the storm was over. The
snow had ceased to fall west and north of
Cheyenne but it was still showing in Colo
RADIO and to the south of this point. No
severe wind has yet sprung up and the in
dlcations are not only tor clearer but
warmer weather.
As the NOW storm came up from the
southeast a big fall was naturally looked
for. All the Union Pacific snow plows
were got in shape for a severe siege but
so far their services have not been re-
CURED. Traffic along the line has in no
wise been impeded. The snow while
deep is light and is readily buffeted from
the track by the ordinary cowcatchers.
Superintendent Wurtele said last night
that the snow fall was rather lighter OF
the other side of the range than on this,
and should no more snow fall everything
would be lovely from a traffic standpoint.

sudden Demise of Supposed Citizen OF
Suffer County.
As the train which left San Francisco
last evening at 4:30 was approaching Port
Costa passenger in one of the cars fell
dead. He was large, fine. looking, well
dressed man and had a ticket for Mays
vile.
As his death occurred in Contra Costa
county the body was left at Port Costa.
Some of the passengers wished to exam
inc his pockets, in the hope of discovering
his identity, but were advised by Sheriff
Hale of Alameda county, who was on the
train, not to do so.
At a late hour last night a special tele-
gram TO the RECORD UNION from Port
Costa stated that the deceased was thought
10 be G. Cockrili of Pennington, Suffer
county. He had on his person a letter so
directed and signed, Your Daughter Jen-
ME 30 Far Oaks street, San Francisco"

An Old leste' accompanying the picture
This painting, the object of pious pill.
grlmage for artists of all countries and
schools, is the masterpiece of the great Ru-
bens, and deserves to be placed on the
throne of fine arts. The eye of the specta-
tor cannot turn away from so many beau
ties; admiration is at once commanded by
the grandeur OF the conception, the SUBJ
Unity OF the subject, the magnificence and
purity of the execution.
The body of Christ. displaying Divine
dignity even under the features of death,
is the center to which all the movements
of the scene refer. The expression of the
figures is distributed with intelligence aud
truth. The grief of Mary, standing at the
right hand of Christ and dressed in blue, is
the grief of mother; the aft ction of st.
John, who supports Christ, covered with a
red cloak, is that of disciple and friend ;
the tears of Merry Magdalen, kneeling at
the side of st. John, do not by any means
either diminish her beauty or prevent the
figure. although but half seen, from being
one of the most graceful creations of the
easel. Beside Mary Magdalen is Mary, the
sister of Martha, also kneeling, who looks
with anguish on the descent of Christ
Mary Magdalen and Mary are the like
nesses of the two wives of Rubens.
BY the side of Christ on LADDER stands
Joseph of Aramathia, holding him by
the arm; at the left side is Nicodemus,
coming down from the ladder. There are
two servants at the upper part of the cross;
one of them has no longer hold of The
corpse, whereas the other still retains it by
the arm and by means of the cloth, which
he clinches between his teeth"
The Board will formally present the
painting at the next meeting of the Asso-
citation, and will acknowledge lie receipt
meanwhile. In a few days Art Inspector
Jackson will ind choice place in the
