An Enjoyable Night.

One of the brightest performances

the EUinng Sun, is that delightful,
whimsical, natural play, "She Couldn't
Marry Three" It's homelike, the story
most probable and interesting. causing
tears Of sympathy or hearty laughter.
Unconsciously you are interested in
Miss Kennedy's portrayal OF Bess. You
laugh and cry with her as sho fits like
a beam OF light through each act OF the
play. She laughs, cries, sings and
dances; she's hoyden, n trusting little
fisher maiden, and no matter what she
does she carries you along with her an
unressting worshiper at her shrine.
What a sturdy, massive, picturesque
figure Mr.. Sullivan is in the character Of
Darie, the rough fisherman and heroic
love; his quiet intensity suggest the

A REGULAR BLIZZARD.
Enough o: "old Fashioned Winter
Some People Craved for
TO MAKE MOST EVERYBODY TIRED.
a Binding snowstorm, Accompanied
by Fierce Wind last Night, and the
Thermometer goes Down, Way
Down, Terribly Down-Ten Degrees
Fall in Twenty Minutes-Old Boreas
King Again,

There was a spell OF winter Saturday
and yesterday which was quite enough
to satisfy the most ardent admirer OF
what has been in the recent past ad,
miringly referred TO as IAN old fashioned
winter" Heavy snow fell Saturday,
and being soft, was packed on the side
walks as it fell, and then freezing in the
evening, converted the pavementa into
n solid glare OF ice, Many q hard lall
was experienced by pedestrians as a
consequence, Yesterday the thormome-
ter did another acrobstic feat in the
line of ground and lofty tumblInS, Most
OF the day the Thermometer hovered
about above forty. Another lively snow
storm prevailed in the afternoon. The
light snow falling on the ice simply
acted rs a cover, and by deceiVlng the
unwary made The danger OF falling even
greater.
The greatestfre OF the weather, per-
haps, ever witnessed in this climate,
was between and Z O'Clock last even
ing. At $40 the mercury Mt Schpeprs
marked 40 degrees above, AT p, NJ,
just twenty minutes later. 1t was down
10 80, and at7'l5 Unmarked 20. Az $3.50
it had descended three degrees more.
From $50 10 7 the most binding bliz-
2ard ever experienced in Wheeling pre-
vailed. The wind blew hurricane, and
the air Vas so iull OF snow that at times
ono could actually not SEQ across the
street. and persons caught out in the
storm had TO seek shelter in doorwaYs
or other retired places until the worst
was past.
The high wind continued, but the
snow abated somewhat At times. the
gale almost lifted man from his feet.
Tho wind sang through the telegraph
wires with shrillness that is seldom
observed, and was ominous OF severe
cold wave.
This indication seemed to be realized.
At 1890 the Thermometer had fallen to
II above, a drop OF % degrees in less
than three hours. When fow weeks
ago the mercury went down at the rate
OF degree an hour for twenty-tour
hours. 1t was chroniCled rs something
remarkable, as it was, but last nights
performance certainly beats the local
record, freakiah az tho thermometer
has shown itself, in this immediate
locality, in the past.
Pedestrians on tho streets last night
were few and far between. Nobody
who could avoid it was out after the
frigid wave set in. Tho prospect seemed
to be that as cold weather as any of the
season would be experienced before
morning.
This promise held out pretty we'll.
At l n. m. the mercury was below Is
degrees above zero, and apparently the
tendency was still downward.

1t Will Como or on March 1-Something
About the Men.
Ed Riley, the Washingtonian, and
Mike Howloy, the Britisher, who not
long ago fought to draw before the
Pastime Athletic Club, OF this city, have
at last signed articles Of agreement to
come together in another fight, which
this time is to be for twenty rounds.
They have been ondeavoring to come
to terms for some time, but until Satur-
day, when articles were signed, it looked
as though neither side would concede
enough to insure the fight. Tho fight
is announced 10 como off on the even
ing of March l..
Saturday afternoon the interested
parties met, articles were drawn up,
signed, aud tho money, $3.50 side, de-
posted with the stakeholder. Five

who are to fight at catch weights.

The winner takes rs per cent and the

Tho fight will come of at the headguar-
tiers OF the POstime's, where the other

There is no doubt that this fight will
be for blood; both men are intense
rivals, and anxious to win, as tho

TO leave next Tuesday for Gray Gables,
Ruzzard's Bay, Mass. Mr.. Cleveland
will remain only long enough to see
his wife comforta bly, settled. She and
Baby Ruth will remain at Gray Ca
bles during the summer, the trip to

State at the Arlington. She intends
to spend part of the next two months

spent three or four days with Mrs.
Carlisle, has returned to her home in
Louisville.
Miss Bissell will go to Glen Summit,
Pa, early next week and will remain

RATCHET FOUND AT BORDEN'S.
Lodged on Top of Barn Near the
Scene of the Murder.

Fall River, Mass, June ia son of
@. 6. Potter, clerk in the Fall River
water works office, while looking for a
ball, found a Ratchet On the top of
John Groves barn, which is located
just In the rear Of the Borden property.
Mr.. Potter reported his find to the
police and also sought an interview
with the counsel for the defense, but
was unable to find Mr.. Jennings. He
still has the Ratchet in his possession.
1t is an ordinary implement with a
hammer head. The handle is weather
beaten and the blade covered with rust.
Miss Borden was overwhelmed with
floral offerings before the days proceed
ingS began. She appeared cheerful. The
first witness to-day was Charles Lawton,
a druggist. He said that prussic acid
was put to no other purpose than for
medicine, at least he knew of none
Henry III. Tillson, a furrier, said prVls-
sic acid was unsuitable for cleansing
furs and was very volatile Dr. Dolan
testified that the vapor from prussic
acid is very poisonous.
At this point a sensation occurred.
The justices took a recess for consTllta-
ton regarding proffer made by the
prosecution to submit the evidence in
relation to the attempted purchase of
prussic acid by the prisoner. On re-

turning to the court room the justices
announced that the preliminary evil
dence did not come up to what had
been protfered and excluded the evil
dence Of attempted purchase of the
acid.
This was the hardest blow the prose
cuuOn has received, and after the in
PRODUCTION of exhibits the common
wealth rested its case and a recess
Of fifteen minutes was taken. During
the recess the prisoner talked earnestly
with Mrs Fessenden. of Boston.
When the court reassembled Mr.. Jen-
nings opened briefly for the defense.
saying that he would show that the
accused had been of spotless character
until this charge was brought against
her.
Martha Chagnon, the French girl who
testified for the prosecution, was the
first witness. Her fathers yard is in
the rear Of the Borden yard. She said
that on the night before the murder at
IL o'clock she heard a noise which
seemed like pounding on the fence. 1t
continued four or five minutes. She did
not investigate the cause of the noise.
Chas. \. Clifford and Uriah Kirby
both sWOre to having seen Il strange
man near the Borden residence at the
same hour. Mark Chase SWore he saw
buggy standing in front of the Borden
house at O'clock on the morning of
the murder. And it was a man whom
he had never seen before or since
DR.. Handy testified that on the morn
ing Of the murder he saw in the neigh
bOrhoOd a medium sized young man,
very pale and acting strangely. Mrs.
Hart testified to the same effect. Wal
ter 2. Stevens swore he went into the
barn on the morning Of the murder
and heard people walking about in the
upper part. This contradicts Officer
Medley's testimony.
Herman Robinski testified he saw a
woman come out Of the barn ON the
morning the murder was committed
and go to the stairs at the north side
of the house.
After some other testimony the jury
retired while the council argued the
amissibility of the evidence of Joseph
L. May, who found a man covered with
blood near Steepbrock, Aug. Is, who
talked about the Borden murder. The
question was reserved until the morn
ing and the court adjourned.

Commander Davis No Longer Per
sonally Conducting" the. Princess.
New YORK, June 1.-THE 1nfanta
Eulalia and party, somewhat tired
with all the sightseeing and enter
tainment provided by the West, have
arrived in the city. The trip from
Niagara Falls was made without any
startling incident
The train ran ahead Of the scheduled
time Of the limited express all the way
from Buffalo and arrived at the Grand
Central station sixteen minutes ahead
of time. Quite a crowd gathered
to meet the Princess. A long
row of palms and potted
plants lined the carpeted platforr,
and an au ming covered the sidewalk.
A detail of police kept the crowd back.
Mr.. J. b. Cehailos, who has placed his
house at the disposal of the Infanta,
was on hand to receive her and his
carriage was at the door. Commander
Davis said last evening that his duties
ended the moment the Princess foot
touched the platform. The nation Is
no longer the host and the Princess is
absolutely free from official obligation
of any kind. Commander Davis is at
the Hoffman House, where he will re-
main until the Princess sails for Eu-
rope June "a. He said that the
Princess returned from Chicago very
much pleased with all that had been
done for her.
