AMUSEM ENTS.


Friday evening, Nov. 16, Rory of the
HILL" an Irish play written by James C..
Roach, will receive its first presentation in
Augusta, and will. no doubt be favorably
received
The Portland Argus of Monday says:
At Portland Theatre Saturday evening
Mr.. James c. Roach appeared in the title
role of Rory of the Hill, " the Irish com
edy drama of which he is the author
The performance was treat, the play
being exceptionally mcritorious and the
company an excellent one. Mr.. Roach
has given to the stage Il work superior in
several respects to the best efforts of the
late Dion Boucicault. Some features
which to say the least do not improve the
popular plays of the late dramatist, are not
made use of in this new contribution,
while its author has injected in the dia-
loguc fund of native wit that sparkles
throughout the four acts and makes it the
brightest piece of the kind on the stage
today The plot is interesting the
sequences are natu raj, the characters
are diversified and lifclike, and all the
incidents in the story SO cleverly presented
have the virtue of probability As we
said before, the company is very cap
able organization, each member of it doing
Justice to his or her part. Mr., Roach him
self is Il good Irish comedian, and his
strong. pleasing voice is very effective
aid to the well rounded Interpretation he
gives of the star role. Ben Lodge, an old
comic opera favoritc here, is in the cast.
He has Il part that just fits him, and of
course gives perfect satisfaction. Incl
dentally some good singing and lively
dancing form enjoyable diversion. In
this Billy Catfcrty, wee bit of a boy,
takes part The programme well says
there is a fairy in each Of his feet, and IA
very lively pair they are.
Sale of seats opens this morning at the
Opera house cafe, and at &. W. Brown 5,

..Punctual People.

Rev. C.. w. Bradlee of Rockland, for
mcrly pastor of the Methodist church OF
this city. lectured, last evening, in the
Green street church on "Punctual Peo-
pie" and his discourse was interesting,
being filed with humor enough to give it
a rclishing flavor.
He spoke of punctual people of different
kinds and dwelt upon what has been ac-
complished by punctuality, and what has
resulted from not keeping engagements
Business transactions have suffered, peo-
pie have been disappointed, failures have
been the outcome, and the effects of not
bcinp on time have resulted disastrously
in many cases.
Mr.. Bradec's lecture was full OF sug
gestiyeness and many thoughts expressed
will bear retaining by his hearers.

Persons Who Want All the Restric-
tions Thereon Removed.
The Executive Committee of the State
Anri-Debris Association held its regular
monthly meeting yesterday at the rooms
of the Board of Supervisors.
The Manager submitted his monthly
report, stating what had been done dur
ing the last month, aud that the indica-
tions We're that many miners, after a
season of enforced idleness, were getting
ready to resume when the rainy season
should commence.
An application was received from some
miners on the American River, asking
that the injunctlons served on them be
raised, as they are now mining by the
Slulce process.
The application was referred for further
investigation.
An article appearing in the Voice of La
Dor, newspaper published in San Fran
cisco. was read, urging the repeal OF all
laws prohibiting hydraulic mining, and
asking that hydraulic mining be resumed
to its fullest extent, so as TO give EMPLOY
ment to labor and put the gold in circu-
lation.
1t was also stated that efforts would be
made at the coming sessions of the State
Legislature and of Congress to secure
this result. An attempt would be made
to remove all barriers and to revive hy-
draulic mining in all it's glory, which in
dustry the article declared was only in
its infancy when the courts determined
it should be stopped.
The article created an earnest discus
sion, and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that the people of the valley
would see that they do not lose by legis-
lation what they had gained after so
much effort in the courts.
After the transaction of routine busi-
ness the committee adjourned.

HILLsBoRo orr, Oct. I6. - John w.
Shute, President of the First National
Bank, was held up last night by four
masked men at point three ana half
miles from here. Shute was walking
along the county road, en- route to the
farm of friend. When the banker
reached lonely spot. four masked men
confronted him and ordered him to halt
and throw up his hands. They took him
into clump of dense brush by the road
side, and, having bound him, searched
his pockets and took the keys of the
bank. They then, under penalty OF
death, compelled him to give them the
combination of the vault. Two or the
men started for town 10 the bank, while
the others remained as guard over-Mr.
Shute. After time they returned and
reported that they could not get into the
vault, and that Shute had given them the
wrong combination. After considerable
parleying and many threats they started
toward town with Mr.. Shute, but when
the outskirts of town were reached they
turned him loose and disappeared. BY
this time it was after O'clock and Mr..
Shute went to the residence of j. d.
Merriman, cashier of the bank, and,
arousing him, told his story. They
found the City Marshal, and proceeded to
the bank, where they discovered evil
dences that the robbers had been there,
but nothing was missing. Officers are
out hunting the men.

Two Men Commit Suicide at San
Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I6.-Leon Daroles,
proprietor OF the Model Laundry at SO
Chenery street, committed suicide this
morning by firing a bullet through his
brain. DarOles lived with his family over
the laundry. This morning he arose
about O'Clock, and, sending his family
down stairs to attend TO some matters in
the laundry, entered the dining-room and
blew his brains out. Some time after
ward his little daughter, on going up
stairs, discovered his dead body. OF late
Daroles has been considerably worried
over financial matters. To-day a debt of
$500 fell due, but he was unable to meet it.
The deceased was a native OF France, and
was 53 years of age. He leaves a widow
and TWO little girls.
On Sunday last the body of man was
found IN the brush south of the Park.
From all appearances the man had COM
mltted suicide. There was bullet hole
In his temple, and he clutched a pistol in
his right hand. The remains were those

held them were drawn so tight that in
many instances when the flesh began to
swell they cut deep in the legs and arms
of the prisoners, who were badly pro-
teeted from the weather. The frantic ap-
peals of the prisoners for water were
brutally refused, and when the captives
We're half dead they were shot down like
wild beasts.
Leist was also charged with tlogging
native women, which act led to the mu-
tiny of the native troops. during which
the latter broke into the Government
house and shot down Judge whom they
mistook for the Assistant Governor. For
this about twenty-five of the rebels were
afterward hung.
Herr Lest was recalled in April last
with summons from the Government
ordering him to surrender to the author
tiles in Berlin and prepare to defend the
accusations made against him. Leist de-
MED that the fiogging of women was the
immediate cause of the mutiny of the
native troops.
He admitted the truthfulness of the
charges OF immortality as regards native
women, and said that he had made the
latter perform their native dances for
him.
The public prosecutor who went to the
Cameroons to inquire into the affair ad
dressed the court, declaring that Lest
had set all moral principles at defiance.
