EnterIa1nments.

Hermann entertained and delighted an audience which filled every nook and corner of the theater last evening with his won derful feats of magic. Many of his tricks were decidedly amusing as wellas mystify- ing. His new illusion, "Strobeika," was a cause of astonishment to all. One of his assistants, MT. Robinson, was locked to a board which was suspended from four up- rights. Curtains were drawn around the uprights, but they lacked about two feet of reaching the floor. Hermann fired a pistol and threw back the curtains, and in- stead of MT. Robinson, Mrs. Hermann lay on the board locked in the same way. Two gentlemen from the audience fastened the locks and remained on the stage during the performance of the trick. Many other wonderful things he did, and the audience was dismissed with the conviction that no one could equal Hermann in his speciality.

 decision in the contest over the distribution Of the LefingwelI French spoliation award amounting to STA, 1884 46 now in the hands of Oliver S. White as administrator of the estate of William Lemngwell, was rendered in this court yesterday morning.
 The principal question raised was whether the award should pass under the will of William Lefingwell to tho parties named in his win or whether it should be considered independent of the will and go to the next of kin. Among the heirs of William Leffingwell was his son, Edward Lefangwell, to whem was wiled portion of his property. Edward Lefangweli in turn Melissa M Weed whom he adopted, and later when the daughter died she willed the property to her mother, Mrs. Melissa M. Weed. The lat claimed the portion of the award that should go to Edward Leffngwe The contest was made, therefore, to cut off Mrs. Weed on the ground that the award should go to the next of kin and not come under the will of William Leff1ngwell, in which event it would by right pass into her hands through the succession of estates. The decision of Judge Robertson sustains Mrs. Weeds claim to portion of the award by holding that it passes under the will of William Leff1ngw well. The judge will soon issue an order of distribution to the claimants and in the meantime the attor- neSs 3 Tor the claimants opposed to Mrs. Weed from the decision of the probate court win be taken. The New Haven parties who will receive portion are Douglass F. Lefingwell of 47 Trum- bull street, William Clinton Vail of 38 Lawrence street, Sarah B: Lenlngwell and Caroline S. Lef- fngwell of 4 Trumbull street and Mrs. Melissa M. Weed of Ii Ed street. Of the remaining six teen claimants they are scattered in different portions of the country

average much better than the average
prices for the previous year, while the
cost of production and handling the coal
was materially lessened by some indi-
vidual operators and larger corporations

agents met at New York and agreed
upon 2,500,0 600 tons jas the quantity of
coal to be mined in January
The total amount of anthracite coal

December 26. as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 624, $40 tons,
