He Scored Success at the rockingham
Last Night.
1t is daring thing for an actor to
launch on the sea Of tragedy in the
characterIof Richard ILL.," for nothing
but the most consummate acting can
redeem the repulsiveness of the Duke
of Glocester. 1t is q character that
requires most careful and thought
full presentation and that Owen D.
Jones, Of Wilkes. Barre. scored a mod.
est success last night at the Frothing-
ham as Richard III. is no small
tribute to his histrionio ability. He is
not by any means perfect Richard
I'LL at present, but his work last night
showed an earnessness and a careful,
thoughtful study Of the instincts that
Gloucester accepted as his virtues
which may yet bear good fruit in work
cast In a somewhat different role than
that which Mr. Jones essayed last
night
The support given to Mr.. Jones was
good, Miss Lewis, Miss Fairbrother,

Douglass proving tina. they had a
proper conception Of the roles en-
trusted to them.

Jury Investigation.

LONG ISLAND CITY. L. l., Sept. g.
1t is probable that the attention of the
Grand Jury, which meets on Sept. H.
will be called to the manner In which
the Republican primaries in this city
were conducted last week. The three
factions-the Sanford Republicans, the
Williams faction. and the Burden fac
tion-tried to capture the primaries.
The Burden faction was successful, ex-
cept in the First Ward. Burden, how
ever, has a majority of the delegates.
1t is said he was able to carry the pri-
maries because he promised the nom
inatton for Assembly to about a dozen
different people, If they would support
him.
The Williams faction. which is headed
by William Williams. brother of Police
Inspector Williams. of New York, say
they will bring the matter before the
Grand Jury. as the promising of the
nomination for Assembly was VIOLA
ton of the Election laws. Burden is a
candidate for Sheriff, as Is also Will
