"Finnegan's Courtship' can hardly be
called a comedy. 1t is mere an
elaborate vaudeville show. The plot is
lost In various parts. Yet a continued
interest is aroused with the jokes. witty
songs and graceful dances of the pretty
girls. Mr.. Fred Wilson's representation
of Mary Ann Corrigan was ever a source
of much merriment. Miss Stella Deane
was recalled repeatedly.
AT the close of the second act the en-
tire company appears on the stage and
sings in chorus popular airs from famous
operas, accompanied with pretty man
oenvres. During the third act the Sisters
Deane danced a pretty Spanish dance and
the Sisters Trumbull danced the buck

The performance will continue during
the week until Thursday evening, and

SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. %, 1896.-For-
est fires completely surrounded this city
last night, though the pressing danger is
believed to be passed. The several depart
ments were out all day e~xtinguishing
small fires springing up within the city
and keeping back those from the woods.
Dense smoke makes 1T impossible to see
a block distant. The danger last night
was at Itaska, where the terminals of
the Omaha Railroad are located. AT
three O'Clock Superintendent Trenholm
appealed to the city for assistance, and
a fire engine and hose mpa were
taken out of fiat cars. They have been
able to hold the flames in check, but the
high south wind may sweep the flames
down on the shop and round houses.
Fires are burning along all railroad lines.
In the vicinity of Black River. fifteen
miles distant, homesteaders have been
obliged 10 abandon their homes. The
towns of Dedham and Folklore on he
Eastern Minnesota road are considered
out of danger. Much damage has been
done to standing timber and the big lum-

snpreme Court Cases.

Ex-Judge Hoffman made an application to
Justice Lfppincott in the Supreme Court today
for a struck jury to try the appeal by the
Commissioners who condemned the property
at the foot Of Chapel avenue, known as the
Mount Zion Sanctuary. The Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company had the property con
demned for railroad purposes. The amount
awarded by the Commissioners. So. 900. was
deemed entirely Inadequate by Pastor Hancox
and his associates and an appeal was taken,
Justice Lippincott granted the application and
the case win be tried in October.
A suit is being tried In the Supreme Court
to recover SAC, 900 from the Consolidated Trac-
ton Company for injuries inflicted on Syl-
vester Rapp. a seven-year-old child. On April
10 the child was struck by a trolley car in
West Side avenue, near Boyd avenue. and in
jured so severely that his right leg had to be
~an7putated. The boy came into court on
crutches. He is a bright looking little fellow.
The suit is brought by his father, Grant Rapp,
of No. 1T Lexington avenue. Several wit
nesses testified that the car was running very
rapidly. The boy was crossing the street
when the car struck him. The motorman did
not ring his bell. When the testimony for the
plaintiff was closed, ~ex-Judge Garrettson
moved for a non-suit on the ground of con
tributory negligence. Justice Lippincott de-
MED the motion and the case went on.

An advertisement in a local paper last night
in which Julius WIGHT, a confectioner of the
Heights, stated that he would not be respon-
sible for any debts contracted by his wife. has
caused considerable gossip among the residents
in that section Of the city. many Of who8
We're his customers.
Mrs. WIGHT left her husband five weeks ago
last Sunday and went to live with her mother,
Mrs. Kenneth at No. As Manhattan avenue.
A few days after she left him WIGHT closed up
his confectionery store on Central avenue, near
Bowers street, and went to live with his
mother on Bowers street. near Summit avenue.
In an interview this morning regarding her
troubles, Mrs, WIGHT said
Il left my husband because he was cruel to
me and ordered me to leave his house. l did
not want q second invitation to leave and so
/ came home. 1t was unnecessary for him
to put that advertisement in the paper, as I
will never bother him to pay one cent towards
my support. I have engaged Counsellor James
from him on the grounds OF cruelty. Ever
since I was married to him. ak years ago. he
has treated me more like a servant than a
wife, and SO l got tired of it at last and took
my four year old boy and left him"
An effort was made to see WIGHT, but he
was out bicycle riding. Several ~neighbors who
knew the Wichts very well, said last night that
they thought WIGHT was a very Jealous man.
They all said other things which. IL Mr.. WIGHT
had heard them. would probably cause a small
war between him and some nefghbors.
The store with all Its contents we're sold at
auction on Saturday.
