ayers OF travelling companies to the public
balls In the cities and towns where they
show. The opera houses in very many
Of the smaller cities are no better nor
more convenient than is Holcombe Hall,
and that is not saying much for the hall
either. Yet there must be this much said
for the present lessees Company q, under
the management of Captain Van Sciver),
everything that can be done for the con.
venience and comfort OF its patrons is
done. 1t will not pay the company to
expend two or three hundred dollars for
new seats, although those already there
are uncomfortable. 1t will not pay any
corporation or individual to build new
twenty. thousand dollar opera house either.
There is scarcely week passes but what
some Improvement which costs money is
added to the hall. The new railing

provements ever made to the hall. Now
there is no jsmming and pushing up in

time you did under the old way. Every
body knows how uncomfortable the cold
blasts OF Winter poured into the hall at
the top Of the stairway when the outside
doors were opened. Now neat, light,
sliding door will prevent such thing, and
those persons securing seats on row A

overhauled this week and two heaters in

publicans were. to be the gamers if he
won. He knew thai Hunterdon county
was entitled by population and by every
other cause to have two Assemblymen.
He was making a fight for bis native
county, for his friends, neighbors and
constituents. Night and day, in spite of
the caucus, he kept at work and in the
end he won. To-day the inhabitants Of
Huuterdon county have two Assembly
men TO elect, because Charles N. Reading
was member last year and won this
fight.
The Senate is Republican, aud the next
House of Assembly will be Republican.
This is foregone conclusion. II the
people of Huuterdon want to get rid Of
existing laws, some of which, like the
township school law, are burdensome If
they want to get new legislation il they
want man able aud willing to protect
their interests, even in opposition to the
caucus of the majority, they should re-
turn Charles N. Reading.
1t is a plain business proposition. The
Democrats will be in the minority. In
order to secure legislation it must come
from the majority viii it be wise to be
without representation in the majority 2
Will it be prudent for Hunterdon to have
no voice in tue caucus that will decide on
next years lawsl Will it be just to re-
fuse your support to the man who served
you in the Assembly as no other Assem-
blyman from this county has ever done9
There is only one answer, and each
answer will be vote for Charles N.
Reading.

For Senator, Capt. John Shields, pa
triotic, brave, honest and competent.
Where he is best known he is most popu-
lar. In Pennington, the clergy of all de-
nominations speak well of him, and all
testify that he is broad-mindcd, honorable
and generous. The times demand that
Capt. Shields should go to the New Jer-
sey Senate, and Democrats who prefer
good laws ard prosperity to party success
are going to vote for him.

the contents and opened his jaws to the

Ironwood, Mich, Feb. ia seriou,
riot occurred at Bessemer yesterday oveI
the distribution of supplies sent to this
section for the benefit of the starving
miners. 1t was learned recently that
many of the men who had been receiv-
ing help were possessed of a plentiful
supply of provisions and considerable
Cney, and, in justice to those who have
been sending contributions to this sec.
tion 1t was decided to refuse further
help to such people. Notices to this eff.
feet were sent out during the week. Fri.
day w. ]. Haggerson, justice of the
peace and poor commissioner at Besse.
mer, received several threatening letters
warning him of death if the decision
of the poor commissioner should be en-.
forced.
Yesterday morning q large gang OF
Italians ard Poles assembled in front OF
the poor supply store and threatened te
con NIT depredations unless contributions
were continued. Three men entered tbs
store and, brandishing knives and guns,
felped themselves to a supply of -four
ard pork. Several officers stood by, but
were SO alarmed over the situation that
they dared not interfere.
The mob then started for the residence
of w. j. Haggerson, but he had re.
moved his wife and children to d place
of safety. He returned to hts home with
Winchester and had been joined by
about fifteen of his friends, who wer.
thoroughly armed. They succeeded for
awhile in subduing the disturbance, hut
IN hour later the tu'nultuous gang be-
came SO strong tka. Haggerson and his
friends were obliged to fee for the woods.

BANDITS ARE CAPTURED
EVANS AND MORRELL NOW SAFE
BEHIND THE BARS.
They Visit Evans House iR Visalta,
CAL, when They Are Discovered
by "a SheriH's Posse and Are Forced
TO Surrender.

Visalia, Cal, Feb. 20.-Chris Evans,
the train robber and outlaw who escaped
from Fresno Jail a month ago, is again
in custody. 1t was discovered last night
that he had come into Visalia from the
mountains with his partLer, Edward Nor
rell, who assisted him to escape from
Fresno jail, and that the two men had
hidden in Evans house here. Officers sur
rounded the house early this morning
and few hours later practically all the
inhabitants of the town were present.
Ey9ns recognized the fact that escape
was impossible, and after brief negotia-
tions with Sheriff Kay, of this county,
he and Morrell surrendered.
/ The town of Visalia was thrown into a
state of wild excitement by the news
which was brought last night to the Of
fiSials that the notorious bandits had
come down from their mountain retreat
and were at Evans house. They arrived
in town on foot, having left a horse and
cart tied to a fence at the ranch of
Elijah Perkins, near the stone corral. As
soon as Sheriff Kay was informed of this
a posse of determined men was quickly
gathered and proceeded quietly to Ev-
ans house. When Evans saw the house
was surrounded he opened negotiations
with the deputies to surrender, Evans
son carrying the correspondence. Evans
agreed to come out if Kay woul disperse
the crowd. The officers ordered all the
spectators to leave, which they did, then
Evans came out on the porch unarmed
and Sheriff Kay and Undersheriff Hall
went forward and shook hands with him.
Evans and Morrell at the time of sur
render had two Winchester rifles, two
pistols and plenty ammunition. Marshal
Gard says the man arrested with Evans
is Ed Martin, known here as Morrell;
that he formerly ran merry-go-round
with Fredericks, who is a circus man,
having killed Sheriff Pascott Of Nevada
county. Morrell assisted in stealing
arms from saloon in this city and
Fredericks took them to Folsom prison
for George Sontag, The bandits are
worn out. The officers have kept them
travelling, and they had to find some
place to rest, and they took that chance
here. The citizens are very indignant at
Evans, and if the prisoners are not re-
moved soon they may be lynched.

Fired hx the Governor.

Larsing, Mich, Feb 2O-The governor
to-day removed Secretary of State Joch-
i'm, Treasurer Hambitzer and Land Com
missioner Berry. The result of the al
legged cerelessness o. wilful misconduct
of these officers, who compose the board
of state canvassers, was the increasing
of the state officers salaries as follows
state treasurer and superintendent of i'll
struction, from $1,000 to $1,000; secre-
tary of state and land commissioner,
$500 to $1,000 each; lieutenant governor,
from So per day during actual service to
81 200 per year; attorney general, $500
to $1,000 per year. The latter officer s
salary was also raised from $1,000 to
$500 in 1891, but the returns of the
vote on that amendment were also doc
tered, supposedly, after they reached
Lansing, apparently in order to show Il
result in his favor.
