MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Indian.

Lewis Morrison has received many Hat
tsring tributes at the hands OF Hall'a4
theatre goers. but none tof them ooaid
approach that of Thursday evenings Gays
the Herald, when he appeared in the new
nlay. "The Indian" 1t WAS one spon ia
ueous outburst, coming from all parts of
the densely crowded house, an ovation
of which any actor might well feel proud,
beoause 1t was the acknowledgment of
his great work, an unmistakable pro-
noup cement by the audience that he has
made a decided hit. Mr.. Morrison will
be seen at Portland Theatre in "The In
dians' next Tesday evening.
Faust.
Mr.. Lewis Morrison's "Mephisto" in
Faust is one of the strongest representa-
tions, and comes nearer the ideal of the
character than that presented by any
other actor on the stage today. Mr.. Nor
rison is singular fitted for the part by
reason of his flexible features, and the
richness and mellowness of his voice.
The drama ia superbly mounted, and the
electrical effects introduced something to
remember for lifetime. Miss Florence
Roberts, who assumes the character of
Marguerite, is a most accomplished ao-
trsss, and has created many important
roles. FAUST will be seen at Portland
Theatre next MONDAY night

Capt. Wallace and one of his guests
sprang forward tosmy rescue.
civilians ran, and with his Delaying
pin he struck the cook, Antonio Bsrra,
across the back Of the neck. Berra was
sitting ON the side of the open hatch at
the time, and was knocked senseless
across the corner angles, his feet and
shoulders resting on the sides, which
prevented himfrom falling down the open
hatchway Immediately.
"While he was in this position. be-
fore any of us could go to his rescue, an
other Of the crew, called John Morse,
seized the unconscious cook AID hurled
him down the open hatchway.
"Tho cook probably first struck beam
on his way to the bottom, and after
clearing that his feet hit a large coal
bucket which had been used in disoharg-
ing the coal from the vessel, and at the
same time his head struck the keelson,
which projects from the bottom of the
vessel about 1888 inches. His skull was
fractured.
II was in struggle with Williams S,
and finally managed to strike him blow
with my fist which knocked him off the
poop deck to the lower deck, against a
water barrel, a drop of about 10 feot.
He lay stunned .
II then drew my revolver for the first
time, in fact, I did not have chance
before. fired one shot from it into the
deck, which quelled the trouble.
I'VE now turned ouraattention to the
cook, and found him lying at the bottom
of the hold with his head cut open,
where 1T struck the keelson, and his legs
lying broken, across the sides of the coal
tub. We had him. conveyed to the San
Juan military hospital, where he died SO
hours after ward.
"The trouble and pistol shot attracted
the attention of the port captain, who
was close by. He summoned the barbor
police and arrested the four negroes. Gan
investigation was held and the crew was
locked up in q Porto Rico prison to await
action by the United States govern
ment. ~

That Six Hundred.

The Wayne News figures out a
majority of six hundred for the
Democratic ticket in this county this
fall. The time for large Democrat
ic majorities in Wayne county is
passed and gone never more to re-
turn. We now live in progressive
age. OF course there are a few old
moss-backs left, who will continue
to vote the Democratic ticket with
starvation staring them in the face;
but their sons, who have attended
the free schools and read the Ceredo
ADVANCE, are determined to vote
Tor their own interests and for the
interests of the country as well, and
have cast their lot with the party of
progress, protection and prosperity.
"Quillback," a correspondent of
the News from Sidney, is one of the
old moss-back kind who believes in
voting the Democratic ticket be-
cause HIS FATHER WAS a DEMOCRAT
AND FOUGHT FOR HIS PRINCIPLE s.
Thank goodness this class of indi-
vlduals, who seem to have no mind
OF their own, are becoming fewer
every year. We suppose if Quill
backs" father had committed muir
der the son should do likewise.
There is no reason why the entire
Republican ticket in this county
should not be elected this fall. Two
years ago we elected portion of the
ticket, since which time the people
have seen nothing but Democratic
lncompetency and misrule, hard
times and no work.
We will not claim quite so much
as the News, but will place the Re
publican majority at three hundred.
There Is no reason why we should
not receive this much. The people
have changed, you know.

Maley ParInned.

Governor McCorkle has pardon
ed John Maley, who, without pro-
vocation, deliberately poisoned his
wife by first giving her Paris green

IN too slow a manner to suit him
ne had two doses of strychnine
administered to the companion of
his bosom and mother of his chill.
dren, who died in great agony.
This murder was committed in
sight of Harrisyille, the county,
seat of Richie, in 1876, and the
writer of this article (who was liv-
ing at Harrisville at the time
we'll remembers how deeply the
inhabitants of Richie county
were stirred at the time by the ter
rible event. Maley was tried, a
clear case proved against him, and
Re was sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary for life; but little did the
jury that tried him think he would
be pardoned. Had they thought
go their verdict would no doubt
have been for hanging.
While Coy. MacCorkle doubtless
thinks he acted for the best in
granting his pardon, but those who
are acquainted with the circum-
stances of the awful crime cannot
help but think differently. The
time has come when one can com.
init almost any act and after sery-
hng a short time in prison be
granted a pardon.
West Virginia should have a
Board of Pardons, by all means.
