What Philadelphia Says Of


During his appearance at the Grand
Opera House, in that city:
Powell proved himself an estimable
rival OF other ilIusionists, known in
Philadelphia. His performance was
varied and unique in many things, and
seemed TO reach the limit Of Elusive
spectacle" @-PreSS, Nov. 1, 1892.
Powell, fresh from his triumphs at
/ the Edeu Musee, New York, appeared
at the Grand last night His fame had
preceded him, and he held the large
audience spellbound. His series Of
psychological experiments, in which he
was assisted by Mile, Vera, were won
derful and seemingly impossible. = =
| POwell's hit last night was an emphatic
one. Inquirer, Nov. l, 1892.
Powell is a master Of his art, and
| his marvellous transformations are so
/ skillfully executed as TO make the i'm
| possible appear real. The su-
dience was latge aud very enthusiastic. "

AmUsEMENTs.
POWELL, THE MAGICIAN.

Powell, who appears at the Opera
House Tuesday and Wednesday, October
10th and 18th, has appeared before all
the nobility OF the world. His last per-
Torrance in London was May Goth, at
the Grafton Club, before the Prince OF
Wales and members OF the royal family.
He has just finished his six months en-
gagement at the Eden Musee, New York
city, where he is said to DO the amuse-
ment craze of the day. Powell claims TO
be the only magician to-day that is an
inventor and originator Of magic. DE
has produced more illusions and new
sensations than any Of the other magi-
clans living to-day. Being always up TO
the times, Powell will produce
on Tuesday night She" in which
Mile. Vera, a handsome young lady,
is burned TO ashes in full view Of the
audience. This illusion was suggested
by Rider Haggard's well-known novel.
His other illusion is his beautiful pro-
duction "Icarian," or From the Earth
to the Sum- most astonishing Illusion,
founded on the fabulous history Of
Icarius, son Of DacdaIus, who, flying
with his father out Of Crete, in Sicily,
scared so high that the sun melted the
WAX of which his wings were composed
and fell into the sea, which is called
'Icarian." Also, his latest marvel In
Oriental Occultism, Divorced! A new
departure in magic. This is said to be
wonderfully startling In effect and so
nearly approaching the supernatural as
to be almost miraculous. Powell will
be assisted by Mile. Vera in his enter
tainment of laughable experiments.
KIDNAPPED.
A powerful scenic melo-drama which
has created Juror of popular enthu-
siasm, is entitled kidnapped" and
which will be presented at the Opera
House Friday and Saturday, October

teresting one, and is told with very
strong dramatic power, increasing In
interest until the climax is reached in
the last act. The play will be pre-
sented here by w. G. Anderson's excel
lent cast OF players, including George
Waldren aud d. X. Higgins.

The play deals with many phases of life
Characteristic of crowded cities, its
characters being drawn from the slums,
the home and the street. Moved by
motives felt and experienced in every
day life, its situations and climaxes are
appreciated with an intelligence born Of
contact with just such characters and
situations. The comedy element is
strong and introduces many widely diff
ferent characters. 1t contains all those
pleasing features that go TO make up a

Wife and Four Children-A Lynch
ing VIII Occur When the Murderer
Is Captured.

Devils Lake, n. D., July Sd. S.
Krciler, a farmer living within Il mile Of
Cando. Towney county. his wife and four
little daughters were brutally murdered
at their home by Albert Baum5rrger.
The murderer is Il nephew of krAiicr
and has been doing farm work for him
this spring.
1t took Baumberger by his own watch
thirty minutes to do the deed. He IN
tered the house. went direct to his unrc's
room. shot him dead. :hen to the kitchen.
where Mrs. kreidcr was preparing the
morning meal. and shot her in the head.
He then went up stairs where The four
little innocent. helpless children had fled.
and deliberately shoa away until he had
killed them all. Having double-bar-
relied shotgun he had to stop to load it
while performing his Quadruplcd murder.
Then Baumberger returned to the kitchen
and took Il potato knife from Mrs. Erei-
drr'> hand and gashcd away ut her neck
until he had nearly severed her head
from her body. Not heing quite sure that
Ill the little girls were dead, taking the
knife with him he proceeded to their
apartment. and fading one poor little
girl yet alive. while She looked in his
face. unable to speak, yet pleading with
her eyes for mercy. he held her i'll his
arms and calmly cut her throat.
There We're vet left three little children
all girls. Blumberger then went in
search for them. He succeeded in finding
the eldest one, and WAS preparing to
murder her when he remembered that he
had not had any breakfast. He ordered
the girl to cook him some meat and l'ota-
toes. which she did. placed them before
him. and. with on, foot resting on the
head of the murdered mother. he ate his
breakfast. Then it WAS that he pulled
ont his watch and said: well, | did
the whole job inside of thirty inmates
His immediate thirst for blood vas
aupeascd. for he took his little niece ard
carried her to the barn, tied her firmly
with Il rope and returned to the house.
where he searched until he found all the
valuallrs the family possessed, L gold
watch and fifty dollars in money, which
he took. He then Saddlcd Il pony and
started away from the scene. All Of
Canlo is aroused, and Sheriff McCIAc,
assisted by scores of men. are after the
murderer. Sheriff Barton Of this county
started out three posses. If Baumbrrger
is caught, the question will not be wheth-
or to kill him, but the mode in which it
should be done. The only motive of the
crime was Il slight dispute which oc-
| cured over week ago between kreider
| and his murderer in regard to wages for
| the coming harvest.

Royal Appointments.

We often lament the character Of ap-
pointments to office under party rule,
which sometimes gives the 'spoils" to
the victor, but they have never been
as conspicuously unit, probably, as tho
appointments made by royal personases
in the past.
This old fashion of fayoritism is we'll
satirized in a story told Of NJ Bignon,

was made royal librarian by King
Louis Nv of France.
