Pirates Of Penzance.
That Sank Centre IS particularly
blessed with number of exceptionally
good vocalists, was evidenced in the
production OF the pretty little opera,
Pirates of Penzance at the Grand Opera
House on last Thursday night. 1t was
home talent play with the exception
OF Mrs. J. c. Flynn Of Little Falls, who
took the part of Mabel. They were lab
oring under the disadvantage OF but two
rehearsals, but it was a source OF de-
light troL4 the the time the curtain went
up until the end Ut the last act. To say
that the audience were surprised at their
proficiency would be putting 1t mildly.
Mrs. Flynn possesses pure soprano
voice OF sympathetic quality. She was
at home in he part OF Mabel, having
sung that part before, and in all her
solo work and the ease in which she
handled difficult cadenzes, She fully
maintained her reputation as an artist.
Mrs. A. {. Lawrence, who has assist
ed in several concerts here made an ideal
Ruth, anu captured the audience by her
work in solos, duets and trios. She has
a soprano voice OF wonderful range.
volume and sweetness; her technique was
also perfect.
w. l. Henshaw, who has had large
experience in opera during the past ten
years, excelled himself in Frederick. The
music seeming to be peculiarly adapted
to his voice, which is second to none.
Clark Warren as the Major General,
surprised his most sanguine admirers.
c. Hainlan as Pirate King, was nearer
perfection than expected, and Hally Lamb
as Samuel, took his part with an ease
and grace that merited warm applause.
The chorus of police was one of the
main attractions. Merit Bunnell as the
sergeant, captured the audience by the
comic rendering of his part, and his as
sistants, Charlie Johnson. Bert Van
Camp, Eugene Richards, Ralph Sweeper
and Ed Johnson in their grotesque drill
was warmly applauded.
Avis Lawrence as Kate, showed a
voice that is remarkable for one OF her
age. She shows considerable culture
and is perfectly at ease OIL the stage and
her pronunciation IS such that whethe,
singing or speaking, every syllable could
be heard. Edith Wpipple, as Edith,
sang the partin manner that preserved
her reputation as sweet contralto.
The chorus of girls deserve great credit
for their fine singing and for their
prompt work, going through the entire
opera without a skip or break. Space
will not allow us to mention all their
names, but they were all known to the
audience and their sweet voices and
pretty stage pictures will long be re-
membered.
The gems of the evening we're: duet by
Mrs. ]. c. Flynn and Mr.. W. /. Henshaw;
trio, Mrs. A. c. Lawrence. Mr.. w. /.
Aenshaw and G. E. hainlan; solo. Mrs.
Flynn. The police chorus was also very
fine. !. II there is anything that deserves
criticism it is the fact that some spoke
their lines so fast that their words could
not be understood.
The opera was put on under the aus
pices Of the Episcopal church, was re-
peated on Friday night. The gross re-
ceipts were about 500.

ITORTONvILLE. Ind. March 2s.-This
morning the citizens OF this vicinity were
thrown into commotion by double tragedy
which occurred early this morning two
miles northeast of this village. James and
Henry Mccoy. two brothers, were living
together on the farm of William Frost.
They were perhaps thirty-ive and thirty
seven years old and bachelors.
This morning neighbor's boy named
Hodson was passing by and saw the body
OF Henry, the elder brother, lying near the
house in the snow. The alarm was at once
given and the neighbors, who quickly gath
cred. found both brothers suffering from
fatal gunshot wounds. They died at about
8 a. m, within ten minutes of each other

the house when shot. 1t Is presumed that
they had quarreled and that James shot
Henry and then shot himself. James was
shot in the mouth and Henry was shot
through the head, the bullet entering above
the right ear
The brothers had lived together for years
at Noblesville and had moved TO Mr..
Frost's farm last summer. James did the
housework and Henry worked out of doors
as a farm hand. So far as known, they
lived peaceably together. They were both
Predetermined men, but were considered
harmless and inoffensive Two empty cart
ridges were found on the floor beside James
and one I'm the gun. The box of cartridges
was on a chair. There were no tracks in
the snow, showing that one had been
about the premises that morning, which
seemed conclusive that James must have
done the shooting.
On the arrival of the neighbors both
brothers were speechless. The scene was a
ghastly one. pool OF blood on the floor
within and another one stained the snow
without. Coroner Milikan. of Sheridan,
was summoned and an inquest was held
this evening.

MRS. DRAYTON FREE
GRANTED AN ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
BY CHANCELLOR MGILL.
End Of a Sensational Case I'm Which
Hallet Alsop BurrOwe Figured
as CO-RespOndent.

TRENTON, N. j., March 23.-Chancellor
McGill filed decree to-day granting an
absolute divorce to Mrs. Charlotte Drayton
from j. Coleman Drayton on the ground
of deser'tion. Mrs. Drayton is the daughter
Of the late William Astor. None of the evil
dence taken in the case is on fi,e in the
chancery clerks Office, all being in the pos
session of the Chancellor. In the beginning
the decree says: 1T is impossible to es-
cape the conviction that the defendants
suspicious OF the wife's infidelity were not
destitute Of foundation in questionable cir
cumstances at least. but fail to find any
judicial precedent which holds that. under
statute similar to that of this State
husband may with impunfty be guilty of de-
sertion of his wife mercy because he be-
lieves her. even under gravely suspicious
circumstances, to have been guilty of
adultery"
Desertion, the Chancellor holds, 's JUS
tifiable only when it is shown by clear and
satisfactory proof that the deserting party
has been so offended against as to author
ize at his instance a decree for divorce or
judicial separation. If the defendant would
rely on his charge of adultery as a defense
against her charge of desertion he must
prove It, There is no evidence that ii was
the intention OF the defendant at the time
he left the petitioner TO institute a suit
for divorce on the ground of adultery. He
did. in fact, commence such suit in June,
1894, time so remote from the commence
ment of the separation that more than the
period prescribed by law in which desertion
must continue to constitute cause for di-
a cause for divorce had become
available to her; and even after
the lapse of that time his suit
institution OF suit for dlvorce on the
ground of adultery win not avail as de-
fense to suit for divorce On the ground of
desertion. The adultery must be proved. 1t
was the husbands duty to act expeditiously
so that his wife should not remain longer
than necessarily required. If guilty, uncon-
victed, and IL Innocent, under the shadow
of such a scandalous and disgraceful
charge"
The Chancellor finds that there was no COL
lusion on the part OF the husband and wife
to secure a divorce, and says that the mere
fact that both desired to be divorced does not
constitute collusion. There must be an agree
ment. In the decree reference to the testi-
mony is made. but the Chancellor does not
mention Hallet Alsop Burrowe by name.

viewing the testimony the Chancellor says II
appeared that Drayton questioned his wife's

TO hei fathers home. This was In October,
1891. In November partial reconciliation
was effected. and Mr.. and Mrs Drayton
