"a MAD BARGAIS, James T. Powers in "a
Mad Bargain will Be the attraction at Albaugh's
Grand Opera House next week. Mr.. Powers
made a most favorable impression when in
Washington last season in "a Straight Tip"
and he will doubtless be heartily welcomed
Monday night. "A Mad Bargain" the
new comedy in which he stars this
year, is built on much more legitimate
lines than "A Straight Tip" There is not a
speciality in it. Its plot is tangible and in
genious. the story is probable and consistent,
while there is an abundance OF. bright, witty
dialogue and multiplicity of merry and humor-
Gus incidents. The play has already achieved
marvellous success. and Mr.. Powers
new departure has been hailed with most I'M
equivocal approval. He has the advantage of a

life in a fiat. Ii shows the limited accommoda-
tons of parlor. bed room, bath room, sitting
room. dining room and kitchen, with all the

Irish cook. The comedy il literally a ripple of

Mr.. Torpey told how he came to 60 to the
house, which is occupied by colored women.
and of the circumstances under which he was
robbed. The other witnesses were all colored
women and they detailed circumstances in con-
nection with the robbery which established
prima facie case against the defendant.
Judge Miller questioned the witnesses and
they all said that they were employed at various
occupations
The judge thought it singular that so many
people we're robbed in these houses in the
alleys, particularly in that section, and when
the inmates come toscourt they are all hard
working people.
