POLICE COURT.

Fitzgerald, Dillane and O'Donnell
Found Not Guilty of Theft.
In the police court to-day Patrick
Bowe was the first witness against
Patrick Dillane, Jerry O'DonnelI and
Michael Fitzgerald for the theft of a
buggy belonging to Bowe's father. He
said that when the theft was discovered
he, with his brother, went ON a search
for the buggy, and about half past
twelve he saw the three youths accused
of the theft, at the head of Washington
street, trying to repair the buggy, which
had been completely wrecked. Bowe's
brother and father testified to the time
of the theft and the worth of the buggy
and related its condition when found.
Dlllane, in his defense, said he was at
home that evening when Fitzgerald
drove up and asked him to take a ride.
He did not know who owned the team
until after it was wrecked. O'Donnell
| said he met Dillane and Fitzgerald in
the team on Bridge street and he got in
at their invitation. He did not know
| whoo wned the team. Fitzgerald said
| that O'Donnell asked him to to
| take ride, saying that he
would get the wagon if Fitzgerald fur
nlshed the horse. Both assisted in the
taking of the team and they afterwards
took In Dlllane. They drove to Simons
vile and IN turning around to come
back one of the wheels was sprung.
On Washington street the team col.
lapsed completely. Here they were dis
covered by. the Bowe boy. Judge Brad
street said that he could scarcely find
that the boys meant to steal the team,
but merely took it for a ride and " ere
returning it when it collapsed. He
therefore found the three not guilty of
theft. officer Moore testified to the two
charges of drunkenness and resistance
against Fitzgerald, and Judge Brad
street fined him So and costs for drunk.
enness and $40 and costs for resistance.
When ODOnnell was on the stand he
resumed to the fact that he had pur-
chased liquor in several saloons in
town giving names. Liquor Agent
Colley took notes.
The case against Thomas Malley, for
selling to minors, was adjourned until
to morrow as the accused is sick at the
hospital. Dillane and O'Donnell were
ordered to appear as witnesses.

IF KELLY THE BAKER

Is as successful in predicting who will be
the next president as he is in regard to
the price of Eggs, Mckinley will succeed
President Harrison.
Kelly predicted six weeks ago that Eggs
would sell for twenty cents dozen on or
about Ash Wednesday.
Kelly.drops the price tomorrow to 20
cents a dozen; two cents dozen less than
the price one year ago.
This is proof that the Mckinley bill has
nothing to do with the price of any ar
ticles produced in this country.
Kelly's Flour quotations to-day:
Niagara Falls, 81 20

"Chain Lightning,o

.'Chain Lightning" is name well
taken for anything in which the viva
cious Nellie McHenry appears and she
did full justice to her reputation in her
new play by that name at Proctor's last
night before a large audience. The
piece is highly colored western drama
in which the star assumes three distinct
characters, all of which are well suited
to display her pleasing accom- plishments.
Her songs and dances were cordially
applauded by her audience. She appears
in "Chain Lightning" again to right

The first presentation of the new war
drama, "A Fair Rebel" was given in
this city last night, at the opera house.
While less thrilling than "Held by the
Enemy" the play is not without con-
siderable merit, and the revolving scene
showing the interior and exterior of
Libby prison was ingeniously arranged
and cleverly manipulated. The dialogue
dragged at times, but on the whole the
drama was above the average. The
company was well balanced.

A New Order of Manager Howard
of the New England Road.
General Manager Howard, of the
New England railroad, has issued an
order which requires all men-employes
of the road-who are injured in the
company's service, to go the head
quarters in Boston and sign a settlement
with the company before he can receive
any compensation or enter the employ
of the company again. In the case of a
slight accident the man may receive
his pay and resume service on recon-.
mendation of the local superintendent
without going to Boston.
The Consolidated road has just con.
tracted with the Rhode Island Locomo.
tive works to build five double ender
passenger engines to run suburban
trains on the Harlem River road and to
cost about $4,000 each. The engines
are so patterned that they can run back
aud forth without turning around
They are the only machines Of the kidd
In use on the Consolidated road. They
are supplied with low wheels which
adds to their power and enables them
to haul a heavier load.
