Caught the Glasgow Butcher.

GLASGOW, Oct. 1.-THE police have
caught McEwan, the man who murdered
the woman at Pollockshields. He had cut
his throat, but will live. The woman has
also been identified. Her name was Eliza
beth O'Connor, and she was fallen wom-
an who had spent the night with McEwan.
A peculiar fact has been noted--that part
of the dismenlberment was done skilfully.
This adds strength to the idea that Nc

Miss Beatrice Cameron made a sweet,
frail Hester Prynne, incapable or depicting
emotion without exaggerating IL into
anguish. Thus. while her performance
was conscientious, and even acceptable 10
those who have not read THE Scarlet
Letter, ''she was in appearance and in every
other important essential the very antith-
esis OF the character which Hawthorne

THE Scarlet Letter" stands as the proto-
plast of American fiction. The lesson it

teaches, dissects. 1t does not move"
Therefore il is unsuitable for dramatic pur-
poses. The play, as presented by Richard
Mansfield, suggests the story; il never puts
the audience in thorough sympathy with
il. As an exhibition of fine acting of a most
difficult character. and the correct staging
of a play which deals with the most pictur-
esque period and people of American his
tory, THE Scarlet Letter" is n success
As a dramatic production, from the criti-
cal and l believe also from the popular
standpoint, it is qualified failure. And
yet so popular is Hawthorne's didactic
story that mere curiosity is reasonably
certain to make THE Scarlet Letter" a
pecuniary success for Mr.. Mansfield, at
least during one season.

his career as q racer at his home city,
Cleveland, two years ago. He was known
TO De very fast, but he completely surprised
his friends on that occasion by corraling
three first prizes and one second.
This was a pretty good beginning and a

started. getting no less than five first
prizes. Last May he defeated J. r. Halle

Last Excursion to Washington via b. & o..


II. Il.
On Thursday, March 10th, the b. 81 o.
K. K. will run the last Of the series OF
excursions to Washington which have
become so popular during the winter.
This excursion will in no wise differ
from those which have preceded, and
which have given entire satisfaction to
the hundreds who have enjoyed them.
There will be the same low rate and the
same uneXcelled train service OF passen-
ger coaches and Pullman parlor or
sleeping cars heretofore provided.
Washington is more attractive In
March, II possible, than during any
other month of the year. 1t is then
that the first signSof spring appear in
the public squares and parks. Congress
is in session. The public building, the
art galleries and the museums are open
TO visitors free Of charge.
Tickets from Pittsburg, Wheeling,
and intermediate points to Martnsourg
are valid to Baltimore, and as the they
are good for ten days ample time Is al
forded for side trips to Mt. Vernon, Old
Point Comfort, and other adjacent
points. Tickets valid on all trains,
whether limited, express or local, going
and returning.
Trains leave Wheeling at $40 q. M.
and 6:lO D. m, and for these two trains
only will tickets be sold. Pullman
slice cars on evening train. Round
trip rate $1,000. Corresponding low
rates from other stations.

pleted, and about five miles of track has
been laid. The work will now be push
ed with the expectation OF having it
completed by July 1. The names Of
the principal contractors are as follows:
Thomas j. Steers & Co., Parkersbure,
and NJ. 81. Chapman, P. Dougher, F. Fl.
Blodgett & Co., and P. j. Millett, all Of
Weston. No changes Of location be-
tween Clarksburg and Weston have
been determined upon, as recently re-
ported. Preliminary lines were run,
with view OF reducing the grades.
Notwithstanding the protests of the
business men of Baltimore and the
Western Maryland Railroad, stockhod-
ers and citizens generally in Hagers-
town, Westminster, Frederick and other
points along the road, Governor Brown
has signed the Baltimore and Cumber-
land Railroad bill, which gives the West
Virginia Central the right, through the
Baltimore and Cumberland Road, TO
lease the Western Maryland Road. 1t
is now known that the bill was passed
by order of the lobby leaders, and they
will at once begin work on the Balti-
more City Councils to have an ordinance
passed to sell the road. Nearly all the
business associations of Baltimore will
hold indignation meetings and petit
ton signed by over twenty Thousand
taxpayers will be sent TO City Councils
against selling the road. II Councils
passes the ordinance, business men
will carry the matter to the courts.
A monster petition OF 5000 names is
being prepared, and all the Western
Maryland towns are doing all they can
TO stop the grab of Messrs. Davis,
Elkins, German, and their associates in
the ownership of the West Virginia
Central. Baltimore City has about Sl0,-
900, 900 in the road and controls II.
The system aggregates some 200 miles,
and runs from Baltimore TO Williams
port, Md, with branches to Gettysburg
and other Pennsylvania towns. The
Reading has recently spent S2,000,0 900
to make connections with it, so as to
get short cut to the bituminous coal
fields tapped by the Baltimore and Ohio.
The Western Maryland was to have
been the Southern connection OF the
South Penn Road. II the present
scheme succeeds, the Pennsylvania
Road will control Baltimore's Southern
connections.

Night Train.
WHEELING. Febru;

TO TIE Editor ofths Register.
SHIT is long and tiresome ride
from Charleston 10 Wheeling. A party OF
four left Charleston at nine o'clock and
arrived here little before eight. We
put in the time as best we could, play
ing cards, reading and eating, although
the eating was nothing to Drag about.
You get your dinner at Clifton in a
basket and eat it on the way. Con-
sidering the method and the patronage
bestowed upon Clifton the dinners are
endurabe. But IL was suggested that
these dinners, the irksome ride and all
the other annoyances attending a
through trip from Huntington to
Wheeling or vice versa could be
avoided by the Ohio River Company
running night train with sleeper. A
train leaving Wheeling at nine or ten
o'clock at night would put you in Hunt
ington just in time TO catch the accom-
mediation train on the c. & o. railroad
to Charleston. / don't know anything
about railroading, but | do know it
would be great convenience 10 the
travelling public, and wonid certainly
increase travel on the road. My COM
panion suggested that in view Of tho
near approach of political times and
the increased travel, it would pay. A
train leaving Huntington at seven or
eight O'Clock would be the thing for the
public going north. A train each way
on the Ohio River road with sleeper
would more closely connect the south
ern with the northern end OF the State.
Wonder If the management OF the road
would take this matter under advise
ment? Mr.. Editor, can't you say a
word in favor of the suggestion?
