now appears as If Coulter, the murderer,
who was sentenced to ten years for per-
jury, will not have TO serve thirty days.
He was convicted of having sworn at the

faces with an ak. which was perjury. Coul-
ter's lawyer. on looking over the evidence
of the murder trial to-day, discovered that
Coulter did not swear his father cut the
faces with an AK. Coulter told this story

coinage until the question OF its wisdom and
justice Is distinctly settled in the elections OF
1892"
We ask you further to invi te the Democratic
members or the Senate TO thi conference.
In reference to the CALL Mr.. Harter said
to reporter: Many of our Democratic
members begin to see what q bowling farce
it is to declaim against the rascaily class
legislation of the Mckinley act and then
legislate to give the same class of ad-
vantages to the silver kings. especially as
the consequences of the silver class legis-
lation are certain TO be disastrous to the
country. 1t is easy enough to see that be-
fore the November elections come on every
intelligent voter in the United States would
be laughing at Us, and instead of q national
election. we should have kind of Humpty
ID umpty show; say q national circus, with
the Democratic party in the very important
character of clown. 1t is only natural that
level-headed Democrats are not enamored
by such an outlook. and il is easy to see
that the men who would bring contempt
and disgrace upon the party would live to
regret 1t to the end of their days. What the
party needs now is An insurance policy, and
If we down tins free-silver madness now it
will never rise to plague its creators again.
We had no trouble getting plenty of sig
natures to the call for conference In the

Down OK The FARM IA merry

on the Farm" commencing this
evening, and continuing for one week
only.
Since the last visit to this theatre

logue is stronger and interpreted
with new music, solos and quartettes,

Miss Lolita Freeman as Rex. the

pany, and for versatility her equal
would be hard to find among the sou
brettes of the country. Her portrayal
of the cute country girl, who, al

her country home loses all her Vi
vacity and nerve when alone among
the strangers in New York, has pot
been equalled by any modern coined
ienne.
Will M. Armstrong, whose efforts
to amuse the patrons Of the Stand
ard Theatre have made him so popu-
lar, resumes his old part of /" Rube, the
bashful lover of Rox."
Charles Bunnell, as "Seth Hutch
ings, the farmer" gives us new
conception of the character, entirely
different from Denman Thompson's

atty. although at first unexpected,
leaves the impression that one had
truly met the rural gentlemanly agri-
culturist some time down on farm.

A PURE CoMEDY.-It is hard to
find any word to describe the play
Little Lord Fauntleroy," which is
to be presep ed at the Opera House
Monday aft rnoon and night. Come
dy drama is hackneyed to the last
degree, and after all means no more
than comedy alone, for a comedy is
a drama. There is so much that is
touching IN this-not sad, exactly,
for there is but little in it tc sadden
so much that keeps the listener
along that underlined and undefnable
border which lies between laughter
and tears, that one scarcely thinks
of it as comedy. Perhaps, after all,
it might be called pure comedy, for
that laughter is best which serves to
shake the tears from the lashes,
frightening the face as the sun bright
ems the earth after summer show
er. And as the flowers seem more
fragrant and the bud sweeter for the
refreshing shower of rain, so the
heart seems lighter and the feelings
purer from having been stirred by
the emotions which this bright little
stage picture awakens. The d-a-
matization follows closely the Incl
dents of the book, and the play was
charmingly simple, fresh and sweet
as the story itself.

Two OLD CRoNIEs.-The 1.-TWO
Old Cronies received hearty re-
ception at the Holiday Street The
atre yesterday from the crowds that
attended the matinee and evening
performances. The play is very
bright, three act comedy, sparkling
with fun from beginning to end. 1t
is interspersed with number of
new and catchy songs, which add
greatly to the attractiveness of the
performance. Frank M. Wills, as
the professor of calisthenics in
young ladies' academy, who longs to
be loved otherwise than a brother,
was very amusing, and when he re-
cited g. Must be There on New
Years Day." he captured the entire
audience. Mr.. John B. Wills, as
O'Donovan Duff, gave splendid
performance, and was an admirable
support to the star. Mr.. Wills
is a Baltimorean by birth and
has achieved much success since he
left here to travel as star. In the
West his name is household word.
Miss Domaine has beautiful voice
and is very attractive personally.
The whole company is excellent.

AN OUTRAGEOUS ACT.-We are
informed that das ardly attempt
at killing was made at he residence
of Mr.. Richard Benton, near Mid
dleburg on Monday night last. At
late hour party composed it is
said, Of white and colored men,
broke the window of the first floor,
threw ball of cotton rags saturated
with coal oil and burning into the
room aud Immediately began firing
at the bed which contained two fe-
males. One of them Miss Annie, a
daughter of Mr.. Benton, received
two shots one in the breast and an
other in the leg. The wounds were
not dangerous and the bali was ex-
tracted by DR.. Luck. The sugges-
ton was that the shooting was in
tended for Mr.. Benton who usually
occupied that room, but who was ab-
sent from home at the time. 1t
is said he was assaulted once before
during the last fall. The perpetrat-
ors were scared of by young man
in the second story. They have not
been arrested, nor is it positively
known who they we're, our informan
