ADJUSTMENTS.

Manager Henry had reason to be graft
fed last night. The Metropolitan Thea
ter was filled-packed, indeed-with peo
pie to witness the handsome spectacle of
1.-The Golden Branch'' or the new 'Dev-
IFS Auction with its Amazonian
marches, it's sword combats, ballet and
trick machinery. The piece was well re-
ceived and warmly applauded. 1t was
produced with the same fine scenery,
complete properties and full company
that gave it success recently in San
Francisco at the new California Theater.
| The scenery is very handsome-the sets
in the second and third acts especially so.
The costumes are all elegant, brilliant in
their glitter of gold and silver lacings,
rich in bullion and in satin, silk and
laces. The corps de ballet, composed of
fourteen graceful and comely women,
led by Adele CamlS. premier danSeuSe,
proved a capable and very handsome
group, and the premier a highly skilled
dancer. These, with the three Lorellas,
i'll the black art scene; the Bosbofies, in
line acrobatic feats; the grotesque per-
formanceS of the eight Tiepesties; the
witticisms and agility of Adams, the
well-known clown, and the excellence of
J Miss Walters, the handsome singing
soubrette. supported by some eight or
! ten others, make up spectacular and
| burleSque entertainment of strong attrac-
! ton. At Christmas time it would admir-
ably fit the season, when theaters break
out in fairy shows, with demons pursu-
ing the virtuous and rascals plotting
| against the innocent, with good spirits
overthrowing villainy and the right tri-
umphing in the blaze OF lime lights and
the sparkle of jewelled walls, The piece
will be repeated for the last time to-
night and may be counted upon to again
! till the house.

DEAD In THE RIVER
The Body of an Unknown Man
Found by Skaters.
SUPPOSED TO BE A PAuPER
Who Left the County House IN Novem-
Der and Has No, Been Seen
Since Then

The body OF an unknown man was
found frozen in the ice in Plaster
Creek, eighty rods west of his Paris
township home. by Eugene Rashbun
about 1870 o'clock yesterday.
A large number OF boys sksled back
and forth by the body several times
without recognizing it a. . human
form. At the point where il was
found log partly SPAWNED the stream,
across which the corpse LAID. the head
aad feet hanging downward. all that
WAS visible being snail portion of the
back.
When young Rathbuu made the dis
eovery he quickly notified his father.
Hugo Rathbun. who sent word to Sup
srindent McAr.nur. of the county poor
farm. The latter notified Coroner PEN
warden, who, with Undertaken o. Brien.
went to the place At once. They found
the body resting where it had first been
discovered. An Ak was procured and
the ice chopped away. When the body
WAS laid out on the ice il presented a
sickeniug spectacle. The flesh had all
turned black, and was much bloated,
indicating that il bad been exposed \
long time. One leg was drawn up. the
other bent sideways, and one Of the
arms stuck out straight while the other
MAS doubled up against the body. 1t
was go rigid that when il was laid or
the ice the head and feet were up in
the Air. The body was brought into
the city and taken IN charge by Under
taker OBrlen. The clothes worn were
Ike those OF working man. The hair
Was white as snow. Coroner Penwar-
den said he thought the man must
have been over seventy years of age.
No one has been attic to identity the
body.
Many speculations were rife 40 to how
corpse happened To be where il was
found, but the accepted theory IS that
the old man either fell, jumped or was
thrown into the creek considerably
east OF where he was found and that
the frcshet of four weeks ago washed
HIM into the river.
No examination Was made last night.
but after the body thaws out the
clothes will be searched to establish his
identity.
Undertaken O'Brien gave it as bis
opinion that the body had been IN the
water and Ice between two and three
months. 4.
Macarthur, at the poor farm, says
that Isaac Lsnders, aged "A years, dis
appeared from the poor house Novem-
Der :, and has not been seen or heard
tToaI since. II is possible, he thinks.
That that the body will prove to be that
Of the missing pauper.
