Last night at the Grand new piece
entitled "Fallen Among Thieves" was
presented before a good sized audience.
It is a rafting melo- drama of the good
old school, with a large proportion of
excellent comedy, the whole being pre-
sented with all the latest devices for
realistic effect The climaxes succeed
one another in rapid succession, and
the curtain is dropped on each occasion
in the moment of greatest suspense.
That the piece is produced and man
aged by Messrs. Davis and Keogh is
sufficient to guarantee its success. The
men who have put before the public
such a long list of success as "On the
Mississippi" ION the Bowery," THE
Sidewalks of New York" are past mast
ers of the art of melo-drama. The
company is excellent and competent
throughout. The hero is played by
Frank Lyman, and the scoundreI Bur-
ridge by William Frederick. Miss Lii
liam Buckingham was very good in the
trying part of the heroine, and Annie
Barclay both looked and acted the
part of Cerise, the gamblers decoy and
accomplish. There are several good
comedy parts. Miss Sadie Connolly has
a fine, rich brogue and was extremely
funny as Maggie Corgan. In the last
act she introduced some fancy and &C.
centric dancing, which was loudly ap-
plauded. She gave limitations of dane
ing of the various nationalities, Span
ish, Scotch, Irish and, although we
blush to say it, the "Couchee- couchee -
Kate Weston was an amusing spinster,
and Ed. Sanford and John Ryan also
were in good dialect parts.
OF course the most sensational feat
ure of the whole is Miss Nettie Ere
bands marvellous dive in the third act.
The scene is an excellent reproduction
of High Bridge, and the scene Is thrill
ling to a degree. Miss Treband's dive
last evening was greeted with shouts of
applause. 1t is one of the most excit-
ing performances that has been seen at
this theater. 1t will be repeated this
| and tomorrow evenings and at the
matinee tomorrow.

A PRINCE OF GUIDES.

GrlndelWald has just celebrated the
SEVENTEEN birthday Of Amer, the doy-
en- Of Swiss guides. Alrner has been the
pioneer of all modern mountain storm
ers, to use the picturesque German
word. In the Bernese Overland alone
he has made the ascent of the jung
frau, Moench, Eiger, Wetterhorn and
Schreckhorn no less than 100 times, and
with the exception of the Jungfrau, he
has been the first to set foot on their
snowy crests. He is also the only liv-
ing mountaineer who has made the de-
scent from the Moench on to the Wen
genalp, and 1t is said that there Is not
a mountain peak in the Valais, Grisons,
Savoy, and Dauphine on which he has
not bivouacked. He has five sons, all
Of them trained from childhood to be
guides, and some have carried on their
fathers work with English mountain
GERS in the Caucasus and the Hima-
layas. Almer affirms that none of his
climbers has ever had an accident, but
he himself has his scars of battle. On
the Grindelwald glazier a. falling
block of ice broke several of his ribs,
and in a winter ascent Of the Jungfrau
in 1885 his toes were all frozen and had
to be amputated. Since then he has
retired from work, and now enjoys a
green old age in his chalet at Grindel-
wald.-Journal des Debats.

secure such views for change every
week 1t Is not probable that interest
will wane, Especially attractive We're
the local views shown, the comedy ele-

Clayton, the Adotr Twins, Mile. Flora,

of comedy in the bill, making it ac-
ceptable to all who enjoy the jolly side
of life.

MILFORD MUCH EXCITED

Over the Trial of Rev. Father Burns,
Which Began Yesterday-The Town
Hall Crowded to the Doors-The Rev
erend Father Bound over to the
Higher Court.
Milford, Dec 28.-The Rev Charles
e. Burns Of Milford was this afternoon
arraigned before Justice H. G. Plat of
Milford, in the town hall, on a charge
the estate of the late Father James
Larl1in, brought by former Judge of
Probate A. Heaton Robertson of New
Haven. The trial was not commenced
until 2:30 this afternoon. There was
much excitement in Milford, and the
office of the town clerk and judge Of
probate where the trial took place, was
crowded to the doors with the residents
of Milford. The trial was continued
from Saturday, the bonds being fixed
at $1,000, which were furnished, and
was to have taken place this morning,
but on agreement of counsel, was ad-
iourned until the afternoon. The case
promises to be bitterly contested one,
and has aroused q great deal of feel
ing in Milford.
At the hearing this afternoon the
Rev. Father Corcoran, chaplain Of the
st. Francis orphan asylum of New
Haven, testified that he had not receiv-
ed the money from Father Burns, which
was given to the asylum by the condi-
lions of the will, and that the asylum
did not get any portion of the $500.
Judge Robertson, who was the only
other witness called to testify against
| Father Burns, said that he had found
| that there was a shortage of 81, 500 less
than the administration account called
| for. The only witness who testified for
| Father Burns was the Rev. Father
| Maher of this place, who said that he
had returned a check to Father Burns
| for $500 to be turned over to Father
| Corcoran of st. Francis orphan asy-
lum. The records of the probate court
and also those from the town clerk
office were produced in court to show
| the amount of Father Larkin's estate.
| After the testimony of Father Maher
was given, Judge Gum explained that
! he had allowed the item for a mOnu-
ment for Father Larkin, because the
priest was the first parish priest the
| Catholics had in Milford. and he
thought it would be a fitting tribute
! to the deceased clergyman if q monu-
ment was erected to his memory. The
prosecution claimed that Father Burns
| had paid out ten times as much from
/ the estate as ne was warranted in do
ing.

Judge Platt found probable cause
against Father Burns and bound him
over to the next term of the superior
court under 81, 500 bonds.
In closing the case Judge Plat said:

of man who was the first parish
priest in the town, and one so much es-
teemed and admired"

ENTERTITNATE NTS.
Hyperion,


There was only a small audience at
the Hyperion last evening to witness
the excellent performance of Otis Skin
ner in a new romantic play called "A
Soldier of Fortune" The piece has
considerable merit The plot was not
original nor We're the characters con-
cerned in it's development, but the
movement was rapid and the text
seemed to possess considerable literary
merit. Otis Skinner is one of the best
actors on the American stage. He is
not an inspired genius perhaps, but he
has made the most of his talents and
is one of the most satisfactory players
whom we are privileged to see. lie has
surrounded himself with an excellent
company, who have been carefully
drilled and instructed in the business
of their various roles. The mountings
We're adequate and Mr.. SINNERS acting
and excellent pronunciation of the
English language We're an unalloyed
pleasure. 1t is TO be regretted that so
competent a player should not have
been greeted with a better house.
The inimitable Thomas Q. Seabrooke
and his clever company of players will
present George II. Broadhurst's new
comedy, The Speculator," at the Hy
perlon tomorrow evening. "The Spec
ulator' is as bright as THE Henrietta"
of pleasant memory, and deals with
two rival spectators Of the Chicago
board of trade. The eXcitiment ION
change attending sharp fluctuations
of the market is well depicted The
unprincipled broker gains a temporary
victory over his rival and gloats at his
downfall. Then turn in the market
results in q triumph for the other and
defeat of the first. Incident to the serl-
Gus side of the story there is much de-
veloped of q most amusing character,
which is as acceptable to the audience
as are the serious portions.

Election RETURNS W.. PROM.
Used SUPPORT.

There is something wrong about
the election reterns in this county
on the vote foi Congress anywhow.
and William G.. Brown. the Demo
cratic candidate, declares there
should be re count, for the reason
that according to the number OF
Repu blIcans who voluntarily prom.
ised him before the election that
they would vote for HIM and 10 all
they could for him, he should have
carried the county. and even since
the election. enough Republicans
have declared that they supported
him 70 have changed the result IN
this county. OF course we would
not insinu1te for anything that any
OF these good people are liars,
hence the only solution of the
problem is, that there is something
wrong with the returns, for they do
not agree with the voluntary and
vehement protests and declarations
OF many prominent citizens who
train with the sheep bleating Gro wd.
We read in Sacred History that the
Psalmist declared III his old days,
after long life spent in dealing
with all kinds of men, (and women,
too that "All men arc liars" and
when it comes to politics he almost
persuadeth us to believe him. Old
King David himself was u great
politician and horse trader, and he
made the above remark and put it
on record for the benefit Of future
generations after many years of ex-
perience in the business. It is a
good thing for the Republican ma
jority III this county that the severe
penalties of the old Mosaic Law
has been repealed in these modern
times, for if the people were strick-
en- dead for lying now as some of
them were then, this county would
go Democratic at the next election,
after one of the severest thunder
storms and display of electrical
phenomena ever witnessed in the
world.

John II. McIean's
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
IS beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati ENQUIRER I:
or more successful publisher than
ITS proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained. and
Its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper Jour
nails falling to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation Of the public
for It's true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at BEGINNING
Of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
400, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, Mr. Mclean frankly answers 4;
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions, BY
maintaining the price Of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class Of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-.
terprise in minor matters as well as
those Of greater magnitude.
