after them. Then they talk to them

many parts like the versatile Fregoli.
The method Is simple enough, but 1t

Even Maud Adams was unable to
overcome the awkwardness Of the sit

in consequence, a disappointment,
which she obliterated as soon as the
play allowed.
The expedient Of making q quarrel

Mr.. Carleton stated that postal cards

The men huddled about the piano and
the operatic manager addressed them
more candidly. "The season will run into

that he was up in the whole intended rep

Ford was robbed of two gold watches
one of them being that purchased of
Brit Artist-and s. in silver; Mr..
Wheeler. who stopped at the same
PLACE lost fine gold watch, and Mr..

Aessrs. Wheeler and Scales thought that

Saturday night at Irinkley. There
with the assistance of Marshal Kelly
Btst Artist was found with the same
watch;that had been sold to Mr.. Ford.
Brit haa gotten the watch from Lee

These two negroes with another named

it is expected that it will naterialize

LATER-The prisoners were carried
to Palestine Thursday for trial before

that Lee FAINT was not connected with

Judge Elliott has passed upon the
controversy between the Merchants
and the Underwriters Salvage Corps,
and like the good King Solomon has
cut the $500 In the hands of the insur-
ance companies in two and given a
portion to each of the two corps. The
rivalry between the two in this city
Is a matter of history and familiar to
most people, but the conclusion has
been awaited with a good deal of in
tereSt.
The controversy between the two
boards turned on which was the actual
and bona fide corps, and as such was
entitled to 2 per cent collateral from
foreign insurance companies doing busi-
ness in this city and which was ap-
propriated by law for the mainten-
ance of a salvage corps Both sides
fought vigorously the one side being
represented by Cobb & Wheelwright
and Judge Koon and the. other by
Lane & Nantz, and Gallagher, Cahaley
& Gallagher.
1t is about two months since the last
evidence and the arguments in the case
were heard and Judge Elliott has had
the case under consideration for that
time The decision gives the $500 col
lected equally to the two contestants
and makes them co-equal in all re-
spects 1t is not known whether ar
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court or not.
