the Academy Of Music last evening
when "Dr Bill" was presented before
good siz d audience 1t was an en-
joyable performance aud tn Q spectators
were kept in Il continual roar.
The company WAS not remarkably
strong, Miss Lansing Rowan as the
ex.queen OF the ballet did some splen
did acting and was by far the most ca
pahle member of the company. Miss
Sadie Peters did not have very im-
portant role, but she sung a couple of
songs quite acceptably and danced with
much grace. Win Miller Jarnum was
first class az DR.. Bill.
One Of the weakest bits Of the per-
formancs was character presumably
meant to represent young man of
good social position convsrsant with
the manners Of decent society The
part as played by George Roebling was
silly aud wearisome in the extreme.
His manner, talk, walk, and general
behavior wers impossible creations.

life in anything resembling the out
landish caricature Of his stage psr-
formancs no would undoubtedly be
given sound spanking by his parent

A diminutive specimen OF humanity
was seated at the defendants table in

He was Lawrence Loughlan, of Car.

cover his feet.
Lawrence was charged with larceny

ish is defending him and Attorney
James Mahon conducts the prosecu-

1t is alleged by the prosecutor, Moses
Cohen, that on July 8 last the boy
stole from him 4 bag of rags and sold
1t to another rag gatherer named Har-
ris Cohen. The bag of rags was brought
into court and identified as the ideuti-
cal bag and rags that young Loughlan
had relieved Cohen of.
BEEN IN COURT BEFORE.
The boy seemed not the least
concerned as he sat ,at tho defendants
table and knocked his heels against
the legs Of the cnair he was sitting on
while the witnesses for the prosecution
were relating their stories. He is
shrewd, cunning looking youth, and
although young in years is old in mis-

He was convicted of theft in court

suspended. Since then ne has been ar

snt term. He is brother OF James
Loughlan, who was. convicted of rob.
berry at the last term Of court and sen
fenced to spend three years in the
Eastern penitentiary.
Several months ago young Lawrence
had his left foot run over by cars on
the D-lawsre and Hudson gravity road
at Car5ondale aud badly smashed. He
was taken TO to the CarbondalA hospital
for treatment.
ESCAPED FROM THE HOSPITAL.
After being in the hospital for a
short time he began to chafe over his
inactivity and the restrictions placed
on him, and one night he made his es-
cape from the institution before his
foot was entirely healed.
He departed without shoes and with
very little clothing on. After being
captured he was taken to the county
Jail, his bondsman suIrendering him
Since then he has been one of Warden
Grimes boarders. In consequences of
the injuries he received his foot is de-
