The scene of the opening play at the
Grand opera house is an old plantation in
Alabama, near the town of Talledega.
The central figure is an old planter, Il
Southern gentleman of the old school, a
type of the noble chivalry of the old
South. The war swept away many of
his possessions and separated him from
his son, who felt it his duty to fight for
the North.
The most interesting and conspicuous
scenic feature of the play, as it is seen
from different points of view, under all
the changing light effects of May day
and night in a sem-tropical country, is
the ruined stone gateway of Colonel
Preston's door-yard. Here one of the
last attempts was made to repulse Sher-
mans march to the sea. A cannon was
planted behind the masonry of the gate,
but the Federal artillery soon silenced it
and reduced the strong post to ruin.
Among the ruins the cannon still lies,
covered with creeping vines, and in its
mouth meadow lark has built its nest.
Into the peaceful life dominated by
the strong will of old Colonel Preston,
who represents in the new generation
the survival of the old preiudices, and
who thinks he hates the North as bitter
ly as ever, and fights against the en-
croachment of modern improvements,
come the engineers from the North to
lay out the route OF new railroad, and
the principal engineer is the old planters
son, long separated from him.
The play reveals the diverse traits oi
many interesting personages. 1t in
wolves young love, charmingly expressed
and the reunion of hearts long sepa-
rated, and the ere-establishmento of family
ties broken up by the war.
Although dealing with the past, as
well as the present, it involves an intri
cate story of family relations, which /,
so well told that the spectator is scarcely
aware that he is listening to narration

1t was new experience to glide

the curves and treste-work over which

makes the ordinary traveller shudder.
When the brake refuses to work, then

A large comfortable one-story hall has

ney's right foot on Friday, and it was
found that four of the bones leading to
the toes are broken. The swelling over
the great toe bone and the instep is en-
pected to be sufficiently reduced to make
another examination of the foot today,
and the full extent of his injuries will
then be known. The finding of these
bones broken caused much surprise, as
the opinion given out all along by the
hospital people was to the effect that
there were no breaks.
After today's examination the foot
will be dressed, and he will leave the
hospital in few days for his home. All
the other cuts and bruises, outside of
the foot mentioned, are healing rapidly.

An Italian named Frank Marsalles
was crushed to death at No. breaker,
Drifton, on Saturday. He was employ
ed about the place in cleaning up the
car tracks under the breaker, and it
was while doing this that he met his
death. The leaders were running cars
down to the schutes and did not see
Frank, who was usually on the lookout
for them, and he was struck by a gon-
dola. The car turned him to one side,
at the same time pinning him between
itself and stone pillar which serves as
a foundation for the breaker.
Life was almost extinct when he was
taken out of the narrow space, and he
was removed to his home at No. 2, dying
on the way there. He will be buried at
st. AIMS cemetery tomorrow at p. IN.

CONFESSION DENIED.
Wilkesbarrean Says He Told Falsehoods
About the Hungarian Murder.

Frank Shafer, young colored man,
on whose confession four men and two
women were arrested for the murder of
eight Hungarans on the Wilkesbarre
mountain, and one, Nelse Miller, found
guilty in the first degree, made further
confession on Saturday, in which he
says his previous statement was entirely
false. He also says that Miller is inno-
cent. The affair is well remembered by
our readers. Dynamite was exploded
under a boarding house, in which were
sixty Hungarians, and eight of them
were killed and many injured.
Some time afterward Detectives
O'Brien and Qugley arrested Frank
Shafer on suspicion of being connected
with the crime, and he confessed that
NelSe and Jim Miller and their wives.
John Bird, another man and himself had
committed the deed for the booty they
could get. They managed to get 500,
which they divided. On this confession
Nelse Miller was found guilty, as stated.
The others are still awaiting trial.
Miller's attorneys went to the jail and
had several talks with Shafer, telling
him thaC he knew he was sending an
innocent man to the gallows, and under
this influence he finally confessed that
his previous statement was false. He
said that when first arrested he was
frightened and drunk, and did not know
what he was saying, and that when he
wanted TO retract it afterward the detec-
tives threatened to hang him.
Millcr's attorneys will apply for new
trial. Detectives Barring and Nc
Sweeney, who were employed by the
county in the case, say that they are on
the tracks of the real murderers, and
will have them rounded up in few days,

ILLUSION OF VULCAN.

Before we enter upon description
OF the consultations visible during the
month of December we wish to say
a few words in regard to a subject
which, when it was first brought up,
attracted a good deal of attention.
This subject refers to what is called
an intra-mercurial planet, that is, one
between Mercury and the sun When,
in the year 1859, the great French as
tronomer, Iseverrier, whose name is
indelibly connected with the history
of the discovery of the planet Nep-
tune, detected movement in the peri
helion of the orbit Of the planet Mer-
curry. which could be accounted for
only by supposiIg a disturbing attrac-
tion on the part of a planet whose or
bit was within that of Mercury, the
actual existence of such a planet was
regarded as an established fact even
by men who would not likely
adopt new theories from mere
hearsay. This supposed new
planet received the name Of Yul-
can. which creDt into a number of
textbooks as one Of newly discoy-

The Biggest Muscallonge,

DEER RIVER, Mimi, Sept. 3.-Fred
McNaughton, roadmaster Of the Du.
luth and Winnipeg, caught a monster
muscallonge at Bass lake, near this
city. He, in company with party of
Minneapolis gentlemen, were fishing for
bass, when Mr.. McNaughton hooked
what proved to be veritable leviathan.
After desperate struggle the fish was
landed, but not until three rifle bullets
had penetrated his brain. The fish
weighed 59A pounds, and is believed to
be the largest one ever taken from the
inland waters of the Northwest.
