A notable dramatic organiza.
ton. the Coghlan company. comes

T. Sullivan, Mr.. J. w. Shannon,
Cecil M. Yorke, Mr.. Benton
Thorpe, Mr. Franklin Roberts,
Mr.. Edwin James and the Misses
Maxine Elliott. Hattie Russell,
Marion Earle and Blanche Benton.
The story of Diplomacy, "
which is generally accepted as
Sardou's masterpiece, is intensely
interesting from beginning to end,
and contains all those qualities
necessary to make great play.
There is an ingenious plot,
plenty of action, brilliant con-
struction and many admirably
drawn characters. 1t is upon
Diplomacy" and not upon
"Theodora" Fedora" or "Cleo-
patra" that Sardou's fame as a
dramatist rests. The production
that Miss Coghlan is giving OF this
superb comedy has never been
surpassed, and lovers of refined
stage art are assured what is ad.
mitted being an ideal representa-
ton. Miss Coglan will appear as
Countess Zicka (of which she is
the original in this country);
Frederick de Belleville as Henry
Beauclere; John T. Sullivan as
Julien Beauclere; J. w. Shannon
as the Baron Stein (his original
part); Cecil M. Yorke as Count
Orloh; Miss Maxine Elliott as
Dora; Miss Hattie Russell AS the
Marquise, and Miss Blanche Ben
ton as Lady Henry.

An alarm of fire came in from
box "a. about 1890 Monday
morning, which was caused by the
burning of a portion Of the large
three-story brick warehouse just
across High street from the Ken
lucky Penitentiary.
One of the convic,s employed
in the warehouse went up into the
building for some purpose, carry
ing lantern, which exploded in
his hand, setting fire to lot Of
paper which was being used to
wrap chairs for shipment, and in a
minute the flames communicated
to the stacks of chairs. which, be-
ing newly vanished, burned like
tinder. The fremen worked hard,
and had the assistance of quite a
number of convicts, but could do
no more than confne the flames
to the section Of the warehouse in
which it started. The smoke
poured out of the doors and win
dows in such dense, black mass
that it was almost impossible for
the men holding the nozzles to
stand at an opening for any length
of time. When the roof fell in it

800 enraged citizens Of McGehee. Ark
seized Luke Washington, Richard
Washington and Henry c. Robertson
the three negro wretehes who so fiend-
ishly murdered II. c. Patton at Me-
Gehee yesterday morning. and strung
them up to telegraph poles, and their
limp and llfeiess bodies, perforated
with buckshot, ara now dangling In
the air near the scene OF their crime.
The three negroes yesterday morn
ing burst into the store of Mr.. II. c.
Patton, a prominent merchant at Nc
Gehee, and after beating him into in
senslbillty with clubs, dragged him to
the rear OF his store, where the knife
was brought into use to make their
deadly work doubly sure. and their
unconscious Victims throat was cut
from ear to ear The negroes then
rlfled the store OF small amount of
money and what goods they could
carry away and fed to Pine Blur,
where they were captured last night.
They were taken back to McGehee
today and at the coroner's inquest
broke down completely and confessed
their crime. relating every detail OF
their fendish deed.

as coon as darkness had settled over
the little town no time would be lost
in avenglng Patton's foul murder The
negroes OF McGehee took a leading
part in the proceedings and passed
word around among the white people
to await patiently the result of the
coroner's inquest, promising that as
soon as all doubt OF the prisoners guilt
had been removed, they, the colored
population, would take the case In their
own hands and satisfy the public de-
mand for revenge After the conclu-
sion OF the coroner's inquest the sheriff
made preparations to hasten his pris-
oners to the county jail. and, as subse-
quent events proved. the mob prepared
to hasten them to the grave.
About 1880 p. M. as the sheriff was
starting 10 the jail at Arkansas City
with his prisoners. he was met by a
mob of 500, composed OF whites and
blacks, who overpowered the officer
and quickly strung the prisoners up.

kill three persons.
who Is the dead man?' Is the ques-
ton that Is agitating the minds OF all
concerned. He had on his working
clothes, and presented the appearance
OF one just returning from his labors,
and the opinion would have been that
he was employed with a gang OF la
borers In this city. but up to date no
one has missed him. and no satisfac-
tory result has been obtained as to his
Identity A great many believe that
he is the man referred to in the letter
of Mr.. Mckinney from Ennis and so
many other unsatisfactory attempts
have been made to Identify him.
