Bronson Towards great dramatic story
of the civil war, Shenandoah" will be
presented at the Metropolitan Theater
this evening by the New York company,
and with the original scenery and me-
chanical effects. Shenandoah has been
conceded by American critics to be the
best American play yet written. 1t has
been unusually highly scomplimented for
its admirable construction, its effective
situations, and apparent naturalness in
dialogue and incident. Ifitis given as well
tonight as it was year ago here, it will
well repay a visit to see it. Howard can
not be called prolific writer, for in more
than decade he has given us but seven
plays, beginning with Saratoga and
ascending to 1.-The Henrietta" the inn
mediate predecessor of Shenandoah -
For long time "The Bankers Daugh-
ter'' was esteemed the foremost produc-
ton of American authorship. The care
with which MIR. Howard has done all his
work, the delicate treatment he has given
his subjects, and the fine dramatic in
stinct which has enabled him to invest
his plays with realism, entitle him to
consideration as u foremost American
dramatiSt Shenandoah" differs widely
from any of Howard's previous works.
1t is military drama with threads of
romance running through it. The story
Is taken from events Jilat occurred IN and
around Shenandoah and Washington.
The opening scene is laid in q ballroom
in Charleston, on the early morning of
the day on which the first shot was tired
on Fort Sumter. Here the principal per-
sonages of the drama are assembled: two
young officers, bosom friends at West
Point-one a Virginian and the other a
New ! orker-discuss the great question
of the hour, and each avows his love for
the sister of the other. The young ladies,
who share the patriotic sentiments of
their brothers, enjoy a little patriotic
quarrel on their own own account, clos
ing the encounter with tears and kisses.
The Nirginian wins his suit promptly.
but the New Yorker is less Fortunate
the guns of Beauregard bringing his
courtship to an abrupt and angry termi-
nation. In the second and third acts the
scene is transferred to the Shenandoah
Valley, and the introduction of realistic
war pictures is attained. BY certain CO.
incidences the chief personages are
brought together, and the New Yorker,
now Colonel, makes prisoner of his
Southern lady-love, who has undertaken
to deliver Confederate dispatches. The
interrupted courtship is continued under
Instantaneous circumstances, but when
the Colonel is almost killed love tri-
umphs. and the fair Southerner surren-
ders at discretion. The war incidents in
elude the reading of the enemy's signals
from 'Three Top Mountain" and the
conversion of rout into victory, after
Sheridan's famous ride. Thirty men of
Company A, First Artillery Regiment,
will assist this evening in the military
scenes of the drama.

Fruit for the East.

The Earl Fruit Company shipped a
carload OF cherries, with few early
apricots, by the noon passenger train
yesterday, making the third car so far
this week.
Chicago wires: "Good demand for
black cherries" and Goodsell of New
York wires: Market very active on
early fruit. Endeavor to keep US well
supplied. Cherries, to-day, 81 rs to 49,"
The Haywards cherries will not com
mence to move in any quantity before
June 1st. This will give Vacaville and
Sacramento growers a good chance to
clean up on their early varieties at good
prices.
Another carload of cherries was for
warded last night by the California Fruit
Union to its agents at Chicago, the Porter
Brothers. Company.

NOT THE MAN"

An Honest Citizen Who Was ssSus-
pected'' of Being an Outlaw.
George IT. Harness, an industrious,
Woodworking young man of this city, re-
turned yesterday from Placerville,
where-strange to say-he had been kept
in Jail for several days on suspicion" of
being one of the murderers of Mrs.
Greenwood in Napa
When that crime was committed Mr..
Harness was employed as engineer in
the Buffalo Brewery here, and when ar
rested SO informed the Ell Dorado Sheriff
and urged him to telegraph here and he
would ascertain that fact.
This was not done, he says, but he was
thrown into jail and kept there until the
Napa Sheriff arrived. The latter was
quite indignant at having been sent for,
as Mr.. Harness in no way answered the
description given of the Greenwood muir
derer.
He is a man of family, temperate, and
about the last man in the world whose
appearance would indicate that he was a
slayer of women. He feels keenly the
indignity that has been done him. When
arrested he was looking for honest en-
plOyment.

THE sPoRTTVE SPIRIT.
Great Interest Manifested Here in the
Jackson-Corbett Fight.

Great Interest Manifested Here in the
Jackson-Corbett Fight.
It must have been difficult matter to
gain entrance TO the Corbett- Jackson
glove fight in San Francisco last night.
An attache of the REcoRD-U UNION re-
ceiyed, early in the afternoon, a telegram
from the publisher Of prominent weekly
publication in San Francisco, which
read:
kindly wire , of our office, au-
thority TO represent the RECORD UNION
at the Corbett-Jackson fight tonight,
and oblige, -"
The authority was not kindly wired,
and the Journalist probably had to con-
tent himself with reading bulletins of the
tight at some sporting resort.
Great interest was manifested IN this
city yesterday and last evening in the
fight. The principal hotels, saloons and
sporting resorts were crowded early in
she evening by crowd OF men anxious
70 hear the news as it was wired, round
by round.
The Union Hotel on Second street con-
tanned the biggest mob. The large saloon
was ucnsely packed, and as the messages
describing the rounds were read of and
fortune seemed TO favor either of the
com p9tahts, their respective admirers
would applaud.
The sympathy of the crowds every
where seemed TO be with the California
boy, Corbett, but those who bet their
money to win, and choked down all SEN
timent IN regard 10 the matter, were
pulling" for Jackson.
Inc hEcoRD-C MON Office was besieged
by telephone calls from all parts of the
city for information as the fight pro-
pressed; and In not q few instances gentle
female voices We're waited over the wires.
scores OF stald citizens found excuses

and plug hats and gray heads were quite
conspicuous in the crowds that thronged
the bulletin boards.
The greatest crowds were seen about
the Capital Hotel, where accounts of the
fight were received and read by rounds.

room and sidewalk We're packed with
people anxious TO hear the news.

door of.

On Monday all was known, and the ma
chinery of the detective service was set in
operation. That morning Thomas B. Wal
lace, president of the Fidelity Trust COM
pany, received a remarkable letter from
Albertson, detailing all he had done and
proposing to return the securities, key Of
the safe and directions for opening the
vault, on condition that Mr.. Wallace would
sign ''three papers herewith inclosed" and
deliver them to Chandler at Browns
Point, on the sound. Mr. Wallace signed
the agreements not to prosecut6;' rowed
alone to the point, found Chandler in the
woods, delivered the agreements and re-
ceived the securities, combination and key
as agreed. But just the same the hunt
went on.
The fugitiv were sharp, but the hunt
ers were shar per still. Three times they
had Chandler located, but would not arrest
him till the could get Albertson too.
Twice "the game broke cover" as sports
man say of deer-that is, they came out
rough the Gordon and took fresh start.
Once Chandler boldly rode down on a night
train from a station near Seattle, through
Tacoma and into Portland-this was the
night after he delivered the securities to
President Wallace-and once the two sue
ceeded in making the public believe they
had got on vessel and were off for South
America. But all this time they were in
the mountains.
The trail became very plain at Eugene,
Or, 125 miles south of Portland. There
Albertson's handkerchief was found near
Florence. At last the men were run down
