THE GALLEY SLAVE.
The Daley Stock Company in a
Drama New to This City.

The success of the Daley Stock
Company is unprecedented in local
theatrical annals. Their business
up to date has been simply i'm
mense, and there appears to be no
loss of interest in the coming per-
formances. Tonight opens the
third week of the engagement and
a good house will be present to
witness the first performance in
this city of "The Galley Slave"
It was written by the late BARLEY
Campbell, and it is considered the
best of his plays. It will be pro-
duced with that careful attention
to details that has been such
surprise to Honolulu theater-goers
as heretofore visiting companies
have put On pieces in a slipshod
manner.
On Thursday night a society
drama entitled "Queena" will pe
given. 1t has made a success all
over the United States and is
play that viii not fail to give salts
faction in this city.
Reserved seats for both perform
ances are on sale at Levey's.

GALLAGHER'S CASE POSTPONED.
Two Officers Fined for Brutally
Assaulting a Chinaman.

The District Court was well filled
yesterday morning when the case
of Ben Gallagher, charged with
mayhem, was called. The accused
| had sobered up, and when he faced
the Court he was a very meek in
| dividual, and entered his plea OF
"Not Guilty" in a very quiet voice.
His attorney, Cecil Brown, moved
for postponement, and, by consent,
it went over until next Thursday.
There was another charge against
him-that Of assaulting a hack
driver named Phillips. He ad-
mitted that he was guilty, and he
was fined $40 and court costs
amounting TO three dollars.
Wilson and Brown were then
called. They are charged with
being accessories in the mayhem
case. Their examination went over
until Thursday also. Wilson will
be defended by Cecil Brown and c..
w. Ashford will appear for the
accused Brown.
After the above was disposed of
the case of detective Toma," a
Portuguese named Bright and a
native, Opunui, came up for
trial. All three are police
officers and were charged with
brutality assaulting a Chinaman
about two weeks ago. The facts
were published in the ADVERTISER
at the time and are briefly these:
The officers according to their own
story, were on Smith street about
2 o'clock on Sunday morning, the
18th inst, looking for a Japanese
cook, who had deserted from
vessel in port. They had long
wait and to liven up things, Toma
hired native boy to play "Down
on the Swanee River" while Bright
executed a Portuguese jig on the
veranda of a house occupied by
Chinese. They finally made SO
much noise that the occupant of
the house emptied bucket of
water on the heads Of the offend
ers. The officers did not like the
bath and got even by entering the
Chinaman's house, and after Civ
ing him a good clubbing they
walked him down to Jail.
Toma admitted that he struck
the Chinese on the nose and drew
blood. Bright denied everything.
The judge did not believe the lat
ter's story and fined him $25.
Toma was assessed the same
amount. The charge against Opu-
nui was dismissed.

BASE BALL POINTS.

In yesterdays game Hess worked an
old trick. He asked Steve Welsh to al
low him to see the ball, and when he
got it he tossed it out in the field and
ran home from second. Umpire Slat-
terry refused to see any base ball in such
playing, and Hess had to 90 back to
second.
Harrisburg and Pottsville are playing
nine games for the State league cham
pionship. The first, on Thursday, was
won by Pottsville, 4 to 3; the next was
taken by Harrisburg, 8 to 5, and on
Saturday the score was 10 to in favor
of the state capital team.
Manager Shannon and his players
were well-satisfed with yesterday s
game and are anxious to play here again
before the season is over. The Wilkes
Barre club is composed of gentlemen
and the public was well-pleased with
the exhibition they gave.
The Tigers have fourteen games won
and seven lost, In the seven years
since they began playing they have
never been shut out.
Boston National league club plays at
Shenandoah on September 80, and at
Pottsville on October and 9.
Freeland is a good base ball town, but
guarantee of $3.50 for one game is
something that the Tigers cannot yet
afford to give. That is the amount Man
ager Selee wants to bring the Boston
National league club here on October I.

ing the driver.
The hook and ladder contest, open to

ing. There were two entries. Each

The Jersey Central has placed an or
der for $500 coal gondolas and the Le-
hgih Valley has also contracted for 9, 900.
These cars hold three times as much as
the light jimmy, and being heavier are
likely to give less annoyance on the
track. With the introduction of these
new and improved gondolas the days of
the coal hoppers will be at an end. AS
they are taken to the shopi if it is thought
that the expense to repair them will be
very great they are burned up for the
iron they contain.
The companies in general are anxious
to abandon their use because they are
not fitted to be coupled and braced in
between gondolas. The are so light that
the danger of them jumping the track is
a constant dread to trainmen, and it will
only be few years before they are en-
tirely destroyed

TIGERS DEFEATED.
Freeland Boys Put Up Rocky Game
Against the Eastern Leaguers.

Freeland Boys Put Up "A Rocky Game
Against the Eastern Leaguers.
The Eastern league club of Wilkes
Barre had things pretty much its own
way after the third inning yesterday af-
ternoon. The Tigers were very much
mixed in the fourth and seventh, and
by taking advantage of every opportuni-
ty offered them, the county seat repre-
sentatives succeeded in scoring seven
times in these two innings. The game
started off with sharp and pretty plays
on both sides and not until the third in
ming was the first run made. This was
followed by another before Shannon's
men were retired. They made three
more in the fourth, one in the fifth and
four in the seventh, total of ten runs.
The Tigers saved themselves from a
shut-out by sharp work in the sixth in
ming. Fairhurst hit out single and
Gillespie, who ran for him, made a bril-
liant steal of second. He came home on
Boyle's long hit to centre.
Meekin pitched a strong game to the
end. He had plenty of speed and for a
while the Tigers could not touch him,
but they finally began to hit him for
long flies. These, however, were at
tended to by the fielders. The six safe
hits made off him were clean ones, but
were not close enough together to be of
any benefit. Meekin was given good
support all through the game.
Meyer, late of Lancaster, did very
well in the box for the home club but
he was given such ragged support that it
was impossible to win under the circum-
stances. Gillespie, Fairhurst and Gal
lagher's errors were all very costly.
Gillespie made a fine catch of a low fly
in centre field, while McGarvey, Welsh
and Mcmahon won applause by several
good plays in their respective positions.
Following is the official score:

astrous mine fire again. One of the
night pumpman discovered smoke COM
ing from gangway in the East Side
about O'Clock and he gave the alarm.
gang of men were soon on hand and
began forcing their way through a stiff

which was nearly at the extreme end of
the gangway, The coal had not vet
caught afire, but the props and timber
were burning fiercely, and not until
early next morning was the fire extin-
guished. The origin of the blaze is
mystery, as no men were working in
the place at the time. 1t is supposed
the lamp carried on the lead mule of
team was rubbed against the dry props
by the mule and in that manner the
fire commenced.

Murdered by Tramps

The lower part of Wilkes-Barr was
the scene of brutal murder on Thurs
day evening. Two Arabian peddlers,
John Mikshiver and Michael Johns,
were returning from trip to the coun-
try. They were loaded down with
heavy packs. In lonely spot on the
road leading to Plymouth they were
stopped by two tramps who asked
them the time of day. The Arabians
said they did not know. The peddlers
began to resume their journey when one
of the men pulled out revolver and
fired three times at Mikshiver. Two of
the bullets took effect in the region of
the heart and the man fell dead in the
road.
The murderer then fired at Johns,
who began to run away when saw the
fate that had overtaken his companion.
The bullet struck package of razors,
which the peddler carried in his inside
pocket and glanced off. The murderer
and his accomplice then robbed their
victims of $50. They then took to
their heels, going in the direction of
