y THE BOHEMIAN GIRL.
The Fourth Performance by the

The Fourth Performance by the
New York Opera Company.
Saturday evening the New York
Opera Company gave their fourth
performance at the Hawaiian Opera
House, on which occasion they pre-
sented Balfe's romantic opera IN four
acts 1.-THE Bohemian Girl" with the
following cast:
Airline. Miss Camille Mouri
Gypsy Queen. 800. Miss Fannie Myers
Buda ......M MISS l.. Carmen
Thaddeus. $40. Mr.. Robert Stantini
Count. Mr.. Silvain Langlois
Devilshoof. 80. Mr.. VIM H. Hamilton
Florestein Mr. Edward Torpi
Officer of the Guard Mr.. G. Dean
First Gypsy ........ Mr.. Chamb rlain
Every seat in the house was taken
and many had to stand. It was a
very fashionable audience and also
an enthusiastic one. In the royal
box were His Elk. Governor Dom
inis, Hon. A. S. Cleghorn and Capt.
Shepard of the U. S. s. Mohican.
Of the execution of this opera, we
cannot speak in too high terms of
praise. It was undoubtedly the best
performance the company has yet
given, though it must be said that
their previous performances were
excellent. There is a good deal of
dialogue in 1.-The Bohemian Girl, :"
and at times considerable humor
which was most enjoyable. To pro-
duce change OF opera at each per-
Torrance three in one weekly is not
an easy task, but to place them upon
the stage in 80 excellent manner,
both unsteady and dramatically,
as this company has done, is feat
of which they have a right to be
proud, and for which they have
earned the thanks of all opera loving
people.
1t is not our intention with one
exception) to speak of the cast
singly, but to speak of the pre-
sentation of the opera as whole
1t was we'll presented throughout,
everyone doing their best and thor
oughly deserving the unstinted ap-
plause that was awarded during the
evening. As Mr.. Edward Torpi on
this occasion made his first appear.
ance in q role, it would not be right
to go further without referring to
his excellent work as Florestein. He
is splendid comedian and made
quite hit.
Tuesday evening the company will
present Verdi's opera in four acts
entitled Rigoletto" or the FOOLS
revenge. Reserved seats may bt
secured at MIR. Levey's office.

FOUND IN A TREE.
How n LonG-NIissIug MIN Came to Hi
Death.

HAMBURG, Conn, Oct. 19-WiIliam
Hart and George Hunt, two young men,
while hunting in Otter Swamp made
CHASTITY find that solves the mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Myron
Nolan of this place - months ago A
year ago in September Nolan went into
the woods for the purpose of gathering
hazel nuts, and from that time until
yesterday nothing was seen or heard of
him. For several days searching par.
ties secured the woods where he was
supposed to be, but no trace of him
could be found, and public opinion was
about evenly divided. as to whether he
had killed himself or deserted his family
Otter Swamp is vast stretch of low
land that is not very frequently visited,
and many portions Of it are not crossed
as often as once year. In the after
noon Hart and Hunt were called into a
dismal part of the swamp by the bark
ing of their dogs, which they supposed
to be on the trail of a mink. When
they came upon the animals they were
at the foot of a tall tree scratching at a
human skull. The hunters began to
search for the other parts of the skele-
ton, but could not find them. Leaning
against a rock near by they found gun,
much rusted with rotten stock. There
were also remnants of a leather game
bag.
While searching about the tree one of
the men looked up into the branches and
saw portions of a skeleton hanging from
between the trunk of the tree and a
large limb that grew up from it and
very closely to it, Among the rib bones
of the skeleton squirrels had built
nest Hunt went up and dislodged the
skeleton, and with the gun and game
bag it was brought to town, where the
two latter were easily recognized as
Nolan's.
How Nolan came to his death there is
no way of proving, but it is supposed
that he climbed the tree to examine a
squirrels nest that he had shot into, and
losing his foothold had fallen in such
way as to strike in the crotch of the
tree, from which position he was unable
to extricate himself, even if he had the
strength after falling. In this position
he must have died from hunger and
thirst or possibly from his Injuries
Both charges had been fired from the
gun and the caps on the tubes were ex-
ploded.

MINUS HER FORTUNE
How a Pennsylvania Widow
Was VictimiZed.
A CLEVER CONFIDENCE GAME.
Wheedled Into Believing She Was Her
Former Sweetheart's Heiress.

Mrs. Asa Woods Took Stock in a Clair
voyant's Game, and Now Mourns an
Imaginary Fortune, Besides $500 and a
Gold Watch-she Had the "Oeeds" in
Her Possession-A Slick Swindle.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Oct. 10 Mrs. Asa
r. Woods, respectable widow of this
town, recently astonished her friends by
telling them that she had come into a
fortune of over $24O. 900 in very unex-
pected and romantic manner.
She has been considered a woman of
more than ordinary good sense, and
when she told the story of her good luck
the neighbors believed her, especially as
she exhibited documents which appeared
to sustain her statement.
Mrs. Woods's story was that William
H. Jasper of Lewiston, Idaho, was her
Senefactor. Years ago, she said, before
her marriage to Woods, Jasper had been
her sweetheart.
When she became a wild ow he re-
newed his attentions, sent her handsome
presents, came East to see her and then
capped the climax by sending his attor-
ney here with deeds and checks purport-
ing to convey to Mrs. Woods real estate
and cash to the amount of $240, O0O
1t has now been discovered that Mrs.
Woods never got a cent of the big for
tune, and never will. There is not an
atom of truth in it all from start to fin
tsh. And yet Mrs. Woods did not lie
She has been made the victim of one of
the sharpest confidence games that has
been played in Washington County in
years.
1t appears that she correspondent with
clairvoyant, and who promised her a
large fortune from 'tsome one'' within a
specified time She began by sending
$40 to q designated place, when her cor
respondent promised she should receive
$50 in return.
This went all right, for the CORE
spondence resulted in bringing, in return
for letters sent in various direc tions nu-
merous sums of money and various
pieces of jewelry. Finally a man pur-
porting to be the attorney for William
H. Jasper came to town with the checks,
deeds, etc., and, after leaving the papers
with Mrs. Woods and receiving generous
treatment at her hands, succeeded in
getting $500 and gold watch from her.
She had been SO successful with the
clairvoyant and had so often had money
sent her and had seen the promised
fortune materializing so much quicker
than she expected that she was an easy
victim when the demand was made upon
her bank account, which by the way,
was very comfortable one
Mrs. Woods is unable to give a very
correct description of the fellow who
called upon her, but she says he took
the deeds back to Lewistown for record
When she deposited the checks and
drafts the bank reported that they were
worthless.

STRUNG UP TANDEM
Terrible Vengeance of a Mob
Upon Four Negroes.
HANGED AND BULLEr-R1DD1ED.
The Men Had Resisted a Sheriff's Posse
and Killed Two.

So Furious Was the Mob That it Went
Back to the Jail, Took Out a Badly
Wounded Negro and Iynched Him
Also - The Mayor and Sheriff Power
less to Restrain the Excited Crowd
Terrible Scenes.
CLIFTON FORGE, Va, Oct. 19-Afte1
the fight here on Saturday, between Of
ficers and colored men, in which P. A.
Bowling and Fred Wilkinson, members
of the Sheriff's posse, were killed, the
excitement in the town became Intense.
The negroes had come down from the
Hill mine with the avowed purpose of
creating disturbance.
The news of the fracas spread like
wildfire, and in short time 30 men
were securing the mountains near by
whe Q the colored gang took refuge,
hunting them down.
In few hours all of the colored men
were brought here and placed in jail,
after a desperate struggle for their lives,
and after receiving several wounds.
The prisoners were Charles Miller, a
notorious character from Bedford Coun-
ty, shot three times before being
captuerd; William Martin from Madi-
son County, shot twice; Bob Burton,
shot in the leg in the first fight and a
boy.
Great excitement prevailed all the
afternoon, and there was talk of lynch
ing Miller, who was the ringleader and
who is supposed to have shot Bowling.
The excitement grew as evening came
on and by dark the streets were full of
men crying for revenge.
About II p. m. a mob of 800 sur
rounded the Jail.
The Mayor and town officers urged the
men to let the law take its course, point
ing out the danger of mistakes and the
bad name a lynching would give the
place, but the mob would not listen and
made an attack on the prison, a frail
structure, easily entered.
Once in possession of the prisoners the
mob released the boy and attempted to
secure from the other three a confession,
but the men stoutly denied having COM
mitted any crime.
Three of the colored men were taken to
a desolate place known as Slaughter
House Hollow about a quarter of q
mile from the Chesapeake and Ohio de-
pot.
The mob tied them to the same rope
and swung them up to the tree.
Before their heels were two fe ct from
the ground the firing began and Their
bodies were riddled with bullets, the
foot of one Of them falling off.
The excited crowd now thirsting for
blood returned to the Jail and took the
wounded man to the same place and dis
patched him in the same manner.
The boy they held to the spot, and af
ter showing him how colored man is
treated for killing white they and let
him go.

Women Prisoners in Pittsburg Settle DIFF
ferences in their Own Peculiar Way.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 19.-It has just
leaked out that free for all fight &C.
CURED among the female prisoners of the
Claremont Workhouse two nights ago
Two women in the knitting departm emit
had quarrel, which resulted in an in
cipient riot, friends of both women in
terfering and taking opposite sides.
For about half an hour the twenty five
Infatuated prisoners fought each other
fiercely, scratching one another's eyes,
tearing each others clothes nearly off,
and pounding an adversary whenever an
opening occurred. The three matrons in
cha ge could do nothing with the
women, who acted like wild animals.
Half dozen officers of the prison were
finally summoned by the matron who
succeeded in escaping from the room
and the belligerents were placed in dun
geors. During the fight two of the
worst prisoners, Maud Hutchinson and
Mamie White, escaped from their cell,
their door being carelessly left unlocked
They scaled 20-foot wall to liberty and
have not yet been apprehended.
