ARGUMENT.

The scene of this Operetta is laid
in, or near, one of our large cities, a
few years previously the happy
home of GENEvIEvE, with her faith
er and her sister, Isadore. The fam
lily at that time visited distant city
where GENEvIEvE, while out for a
walk with Isadore and their maids,
was decoyed into an alley by the
wicked RoNana and Theresa and
hurried out of sight before her loss
was observed by her protectors. She
was taken by the former to their
rude home, taught by them to forget
her name and friends and to assimi-
late herself to her new position as
their servant. Being wandering in
their habits, they, in few years,
take up their abode in the suburbs of
GENEvIEvE'S native city. After
fruitless endeavors on the part of
GENEvIEvE'S father and sister to re-
cover her they return home, and af-
ter the death of her father, Isadore,
now a young lady, lives with her
maids sole mistress of her mansion.
True, however, to the memory of her
sister she still mourns her loss and
daily prays for her restoration.-
Friends and schoolmates of Isadore,
while out in the park are approached
by flower girl whom they recognize
as GENEvIEvE.-Isado alone in her
beautiful home is singing. The
strange news is borne to her, and she
hastens to recover her lost sister-In
the rude cottage, where GENEvIEvE
is captive.-The rescue.

ANOTHER MOVE
by the Opponents of the e., II. v. & A.
Railway COmpnny.

There were two warranty deeds
fled for record last Thursday with
County Recorder Frank Wright, that
were innocent looking reading
documents but they were loaded with
a charge of further complication and
litigation in the railroad suits that
will be discharged in the Federal
Court at Columbus.
The grantor in one of the deeds is
Michael s. Vought and wife, convey
ing 1895 acres of land lying on the
west side of the canal and extending
to the center thereof, known as Buck
eye Park, consideration $1,000.
The grantor in the other deed is
Jas. Farrell and wife, conveying 2a.-
81 acres on the east side of the canal
| from its center eastward. Consider
alton $3.50.
The individual to whom both these
tracts are conveyed is one John j.
| Walsh, of New York City, u repre-
sentative of proposed railroad
known as the Chicago, Columbus &
Eastern Railway Company, with its
headquarters at Chicago, and who
claim an intention to constructa a rail-
road from Columbus to Chicago,
through the coal fields of the Hooking
Valley.
This legal coup de d'etat will re-
move the theatre Of proceedings tenn
porarily from the courts of Fairfield
county as the move is made in the
interest and understandingly under
the direction and management of the
old. road to block the progress of the
new road by acquiring the right to
institute proceedings In the Federal
Court at Columbus for the purpose
of testing the validity of the title of
the new corporation to the canal land
as leased to them by the State, the
claim being that the Legislature had
no right to make such lease under
the provisions by which the United
! States ceded the lands to the State of
Ohio for canal purposes, and that
such legislation was unconstitutional
Just where this Mr.. John j. Walsh
is at the present writing deponent
saith not, but it is presumed he will
be on hand at the first round in the
Federal Court. The counter move of
the attorneys for the new road will
be awaited with interest. Next!

GENEvIEvE,

The Juvenile Operetta Genevieve
given by the schools at the Assem-
bly, Room Thursday and last even
ing was a grand success. The cho-
ruses were well trained and char
acters well chosen. Miss Robin
Rochester in her bearing Of the
entitled character made n decided
impression. Her voice is sweet
and manner superb. Miss Julia
Work in her personation of the
character, Isadore, was marked, in
deed, in her fitness for the charac.
ter. She ia the possessor of a beau
tiful voice and Is its able guardian.
The two little maids, Misses Bertha
Nixon and Clara Krepple proved
themselves stars of much received
applause. Their down curtain en-
tertainment was very catchey in
deed and parts as maids hand
somely filled. The rendition of
"Pnpa What Would You Take for
Me-" and "Won't You Come Out
and Play" by these little ladies was
the hit of the evening. Gypsies,
and gypsies they were. Misses
Lulu Bright and Maggie Best in
their most natural representation
of their characters could not have
been eXcelled. They well looked
the awful kidnappers that they
were.
These entertainments have been
a success and well attended, and
we hope to have them come often.

AN interesting discovery has

Thomas, of Lima, o., while passing

es, and recalling that the line was

in the following manner: Colum-

Edo. He wrote a letter to w. H.
Fisher, General Passenger Agent,
telling him of his discovery, and
asking If 1t had ever been noticed
before. Mr.. Fisher thanked him
for his thoughtfulness, and it may
be that the idea will be embodied
as sort Of an acrostic IN this sea-
sons advertising. Many officials
of the road have been interested In
the discovery, and surprised that
they had not seen 1t before.
