AMUSBMENTS.

There was fair audience at the opera-
house last night, when "The Streets of
New York" was repeated with the same
effectiveness as heretofore. AS curtain
raiser a very pretty conceit, one-act
comedy by Miss Carol Grouse, was
played, in which that lady sustained the
leading part. The cunningly constructed
play is entitled Miss Muffett's Mistake.v
1t will be repeated tonight and to-mor-
row night. Miss Grouse proved to be a.
good comedienne. She enacted the part
of an old maid, rheumatic, regretting the
lost opportunities of youth and much
troubled with observation-disclosures with
skill. She proved her capacity as an ac-
tress. She sang in the midst of retro
spective reverie, with much feeling and

FREEMAN'S EXECUTION.
Judge Van Fleet Fixes March 18th
Next as the Date.
Freeman Still Maintains His Careless
Demeanor-A Request for More
Delay Denied.

The knowledge that Charles Freeman,
who brutally murdered Mark Feeny, was
to receive his final sentence attracted a
large crowd to Judge Van Fleets court
yesterday.
Freeman occupied a seat with his attor-
neys and appeared to be as big and robust
as ever. He was the least interested per-
son in the room, apparently, and seemed
rather to enjoy the attention bestowed
upon him. He scarcely paid any atten-
ton to the proceedings nor to the awful
decree of the court.
District Attorney Ryan briefly reviewed
the facts of the conviction, the appeal to
the Supreme Court, the decision of that
tribunal affirming the judgment of the
lower court, etc., and then asked that the
court proceed to fix the date for the exc
cution.
DELAY ASKED FOR.
Charles n. Post, council for the con-
victed murderer, suggested to the court
that the matter be laid over week or
two, as the case of the People VS.. Nc
Nulty is now pending before the Supreme
Court, and the decision might possibly
affect the Freeman case.
Judge Van Fleet said he could not see
Freeman case, as the higher court had re-
leased its jurisdiction in the local case.
The only relief open to the defendant now
through the medium of the courts is ap-
plication to the United States Supreme e
Court for writ of error. That, however,
would not Interfere with fixing the date
1or the execution.
DATE OF EXECUTION.
There was an oppressive sicence for a
few moments and then the Court spoke
as follows: ION motion of the District
Attorney, the defendant and his counsel
being present In open court, and it ap-
pearIng to the court that the defendant
was heretofore informed against for the
crime OF murder, arraigned and a plea OF
not guilty entered; thereafter, of a trial
by jury and their verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree, an appeal be-
! ing taken to the Supreme Court and the
supreme Court affirming the judgment,
1t appearing to the court, by reason of
this, that judgment should now be fixed
by the court. 1t is now ordered that the
Judgment executing the defendant by
hanging him by the neck until he is dead
be carried into effect, and Friday, March
Is, 1892, beteween the hours as specified
in the execution, is set for the day of exc
cution."
Freeman smiled and walked carelessly
out of the room with Deputy Sheriff Fay.
Gordon, one of the alleged murderers of
Robert Allen, was taken from the room
at the same time. Upon reaching the
corridor Freeman put his arm around
Gordon and remarked jokingly: well,
we are in it, old man"
1t is understood that no further legal
steps will be taken to save Freeman's s
neck. His friends and attorneys will
now devote their attention to the Gov
ernor, feeling confident that he will COM
mute the sentence to life imprisonment.
