The Theodore Babcock New York Stock
Company will present "Pink Dominos"
as the opening bill at Lothrop's Opera
House this evening. This piece mas had
the compliment OF being more widely
plag than any comedy of the pres-
cot decade. The so-called farce comedy Of
today may be said TO have been founded
on "Pink DomInos" Even the great
Youcicault producen a version under the
the original translation from the French
has always enjoyed the most favor. In
the leading role made famous in the
country by John Drew and Charles Wind
ham. Theodore Babcock, we'll known as
one OF the best light comedians on this
stage, will no doubt repeat their successes
and the rest OF the cast II in thoroughly
competent hands and includes Mr.. Wright

AUBURN.

Not every village can boast OF poet or
dramatic writer, but Auburn is proud to
have one who does little in that line
end Mr.. Arthur Reeve need not feel
ashamed of the operatta "Cranston
Indians" which was given Friday even
ing in Odd Fellows hall. Mr.. Reeve
wrote the piece assisted by MIR. Daniels,
organist OF the Church of the Ascension,
with the music. He certainly deserves a
great deal of credit for the successful
manner in which every part was taken.
Mr.. Reeve as a banished missionary,
looked very solemn and interesting.
Messrs. Clissold and Wood Of the Fal-
staff Club were both excellent and de-
serve special mention. Mrs. Arthur
Reeve has soft and sweet voice which
captivated the audience. Her pretty
skirt dance was much enjoyed. Miss
Emma Bagley as Pocahontas was very en-
tertaining, and made pretty PERSONAL
ity. John Hall was fine 'Bowry Boy"
and did his shouting and whistling in
good style. Miss Helen Rundell, as the
laughing Ha, Ha. rendered her part to
perfection, and Mr.. X. w. B. Knight
was an unusually good farmer, and Mrs.
John Goodwin sang with expression her
pretty soEg to 10 10, personated by
Mr.. Thomas A. Macdonald, who gave
an excellent performance. As whole
the choruses were very good indeed from
the nrst act IN war paint ana feathers To
the last when they became civilized and
were dressed in modern garments. A
great many prominent men from the
town were present and all enjoyed the
personal hits that were brought in.
Ernest Mills, captain of the Auburn
Grammar School nine, felt very proud of
his team Saturday for they won two
games. one in the morning from the

picked nine from the high school and

Yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock two
men from Auburn, named William Me-
Laughlin and Robert Laydon wended
their way along Park avenue insulting
every person they met. The drunken
men seemed to take particular dislike to
a peaceful Italian named Samuel iPalato,
mn employe of Mr.. Charles Slocum. Me-
Laughlin and Laydon chased Palate into
the barn of Mr.. Slocum. Paloto locked
the door securely against the intruders,
but they broke into the barn and were
mercilessly beating the young man when
officer Patrick Trainor appeared upon tbe
scene. The roughs stoutly resisted arrest,
but officer Trainor ovorpowered them and
with the aid OF two citizous landed them
safely behind the bars in the Cranston
lookup.
About O'Clock tho men had hearing
before Judge Philips. Robert Lnvdon
pleaded guilty to the charge Of rovellng.
for which he was fined $3.50. He was
permitted to 60 on condition that he
answer the charge OF assault on Palate.
william Mclaughlin pleaded guilty to
reveling, and not being a0le to pay the
fine OF $3.50 imposed he was held. He
pleaded not guilty TO the charge of as
sault. He will bo tried Wednesday.

The Stock Market Opened
Strong Today.
Coal Rates From the Ohio
Mines Have Been Reduced.
Cut in Railroad Rates to Meet c. &
o. and Southwestern Rates.
Special to The News.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The talk over
the holidays did not seem to vary much
and the opinion was equally divided as to
the immediate course OF the market. 1t
is thought that the renewal of gold ship
ments this week will tend to have tenn
porary depressing effect but 1t Is conceded
by the brightest judgment that stocks,
because of the tenacity with which
holders cling to their investments, are
scarcely likely to decline much from these
figures but ON the contrary with the
promulgation of any good news sharp raj
lies may reasonably be expected. The
capitalistic interests that have been large
borrowers OF money during the past few
weeks, say that when their turn comes,
as come it will, higher prices than have
prevailed in many weeks Will be recorded.
The report of the Liverpool Cotton mar
ket is as follows: 1880 p. m. Demand
moderate and easier; middlings 5-s;
sales 5000 bales; futures opened steady, de-
mand moderate and unchanged, but has
since lost two to three points on near
months and one to two points on late
months. 12:45 p. m. Spots 1882 lower.
There is renewed talk of extra dividend
on Sugar. Cordage industries are said to
be in good shape.
Coal rates from Ohio mines and Pitts
burg districts have been reduced zoe.
AT meeting OF traffic officials at To-
ledo today q cut was made to met the
Chesapeake q Ohio and Southwestern
rate. The Michigan Central protested to
nc avail.
Mr.. Morgan, who will leave London to-
morrow for home, assured the Rothchilds
and other leading foreign capitalists that
the silver men are much more powerful
of lungs than they are of votes; notwith-
standing the present hue and cry the
gold standard will be the bonner bearer
at the forthcoming presidential contest.
Such assurance from. Morgan source
will prevent further liquidation OF foreign
holdings even IL II does not lead to fresh
speculative and investment buying by
London and the continent.
This weeks gold shipment will about
equal that of last week, still there will
be no cause of alarm.
Ladenburg, ThalIman q Company, will
ship $500, 00J gold by the stea mship spree,

about 1000 licensed saloons in St. Louis,
the scale OF license fees varying in accord

costs much less than frll license, which

Of this money goes TO the state treasury

seriousness happened during Memorial
Day. The most serious was that which
happened at the entrance to Crescent
Park. A young man named Dawson, who
is employed by the Pope Manufacturing
Company in Providence, was proceeding
to the park when another Whee1msn came

came up with Dawson he tried TO cross i'm
front of him, and a serious collision was
the consequences. The unknown wheel.
man was uninjured, and was soon able to
mount and proceed on his way. Dawson,
unknown, and rot being able TO rise the
bystandeIs helped him to cottage near
the scene of the accident, where medical
aid was summoned. 1t was found that
he had broken three ribs and sustained
internal injuries, of very grave charac-
ter. He was later removed TO his home
in Providence by friends.
Yesterday one of the Riverside cars and
trailer was derailed at the Pomham switch
and the traffic on. the road was delayed
for about an hour. The wrecking car
from the barn had to be summoned.
Last evening as car was passing
through the square a man missed his
footing on the running board and was
dragged by the car about 100 feet. He
escaped with a few bruises and a good
shaking up.
Mr.. William Steadman is visiting
friends in the village.
