The Stage VIII BE in Full Sight OF

The work on the new theater is pro-
crossing very favorably. The workmen,
under Superintendent George Kessler are
employed just now in putting in the floors.
galleries and boxes. The lower floor of
the theater has been completed. 1t forms
one continuous incline, instead of having
the floor Of the parquet lowered below
that Of the dress circle, and every portion
OF it affords a fun view of the entire stage.
1t is the same with the balcony. Its
curvature is not as great as that of
the balcony in the old theater, and from
its present appearance every seat will
furnish an excellent view of the whole
stage. The boxes, of which there will
be five on each side, will not be in the
way, as they will set back toward the
space taken up by the aisles, so as not to
obstruct any view. The interior may be
almost finished before the front wall and
main entrance are built. Manager j. c.
Shaw is now in New York city arrang-
ing for the bookings for next season.

A Thief Arrested for a Crime He
Laid to Another.
James Mordecai. who was arrested by
the detectives several days ago, was
turned over to the superior court yester-
day morning, to be tried on the charge of
burglarizing the house of Henry Russell.
colored.
Mordecai. before being arrested, tried to
have another negro arrested for the theft.
At the police barracks he reported to De-
tectives Kiley and Wetherhorn that he
had seen a negro man out west of the city
with two gold rings, which he had reason
20 believe had been stolen. The detectives
went out with him ana arrested a negro
who was pointed out by Mordecai. The
man arrested protested his innocence and
proved that he had been at work at the
time Mordecai claimed to have seen him
elsewhere with the rings. He was re-
leased.
When Russell reported the robbery of his
house at the barracks a day or two later
and gave a description of the property
stolen, Chief McDermott remembered
Mordecai and ordered his arrest. The man
protested his innocence when arrested, but
finally confessed.
