Victor Hamilton Echorn, a forma
resident of Roanoke, was arrested at
Pbiladelphia Lass Saturday for partici-

The scheme was bold one and was

Echorn was formerly employed as book
keeper for the Gas and Water Com pany
OF this city from February, 1890, one
year. After that he worked while for
the Diamond Ice Company. He was

fondness that almost amounted to a
mania for chess. Many people will

On Friday night, January 0. will be
presented at the Academy OF Music
that familiar and ever welcome play,
ALVIN Joslin," the Yankee comedy in
which Charles L. Davis, the author,
will positively appear in his quaint,
rustic impersonation of Uncle Alvin.
This play has made him fortune dur
ing the sixteen years it has been on the
boards, and it seems that the people
expect it as regular as the Fourth OF
July, or "Unclo Toms Cabin" The
play abounds in ludicrous situations,
comical scenes, ridiculous escapes,
forming pleasing relief from its exci5-
ing climaxes and startling scenic and
realistic episodes. The scenery and
stage effects are ample and truthful,
depicting high and low life in New
York city. While there is some start
ling climax in every act, each scene is
replete with aughter-infecting pecu-
liarities. The trade mark, $50 lauahs
in $50 minutes, is still prominent on the
posters, and the result of three hours en-.
joyment of this play justi6es it

terro,irse with men worth knowing and acute
observation of events at home and abroad from

made him aware that multitude Of newspaper
