COUNT nECuRD.
Court of Common rieas-Civl Side
 Judge Hotchkiss.


 Judge Hotchkiss.
 Judge Hotchkiss at the session of the court of common pleas Monday after noon sustained the action of Probate Judge Martin of Wallmgford in send ing Buckley Burr to jail for five days for contempt of court in refusing to submit to probate examination and make his affidavit as required by law. Counsel for Burr filed notice of an ap- peal to the supreme count and yester- day morning Judge Hotchkiss inform ed them that he would render judgment in due form giving his reasons and would also make Il finding of facts. l. was the claim of Burr's counsel that Probate Judge Martin Of Wallingford had no right to commit Burr to jail for five days for contempt because he failed to sign a paper bearing his answer to questions regarding his finan- cial affairs. The claim was that the judge could commit him for contempt for failure to answer questions but not because he refused to sign the statement.
 Judge Hotchkiss ruled that Burr was in contempt because of his refusal to sign and quashed the habeas corpus proceeding.
 Notice of appeal to the supreme court was given and Burr Was released on a bond of $500 furnished by Attor- ney IT. F. Hall. pending the decision Of the supreme court.

AN EXcITING HrNT.

Joseph S. Dunlap, foreman of con-
struction OF the new Federal building,
formerly lived at Delaware City, and
still has a host Of friends in that little
riverside town in Red Lion hundred.
One of them sent him word last week
that one lone rabbit remained in the
hundred and that he would like him
to come down and kill it, He and Ed
ward Barton, q friend Of his at work
on the new post office, entered into a
conspiracy TO take the life of bunny,
and left here on Saturday morning.
Meanwhile one Of the deputy collectors
heard that a filibustering expedition
was about to leave Wilmington for
Cuba. He made diligent inquiry in the
city and learned that Messrs. Dunlap
and Barton had purchased several
tons OF ammunition and ordered ii
shipped to Delaware City. At the in
stance Of the Spanish consul a revenue
cutter was sent down to Delaware City
to prevent the loading of the stun. 1g-
norant of all this, Messrs. Dunlap and
Barton went to Delaware City, tramped
over about twenty-nine miles of terri
tory. found the lone rabbit in ST.
Georges Cemetery, and both shot at
once. When they recovered from the

OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT.
The Grand Opera House was filled
with an enthusiastic and appfeciative
audience last evening at the first pro-
duction in Wilmington Of Victor Her
bert's sprightly comic opera, "The Wiz
ard Of the Nile" The music, scenery
and libretto We're all that could be de-
sired, some OF the scenic effects alone
winning rounds Of applause from the
audience. notwithstanding the neces-
Harily long intervals between the acts.
Frank Daniels was very much alive
as the wizard whose remarkable self
possession and good luck saved him
from first being beheaded. again stung
TO death by wasps, and again from be-
fng buried alive. Some Of the situa-
tions from which he extricated him
self Were the funniest ever seen on a
local stage. Once when King Ptolmy
and all his subjects were kneeling be-
fore him. the wizard went through
some priestly gestures and announced
that the usual collection would be
taken.
All through the three acts Mr.. Dan
iels is continually performing tricks,
such as producing eggs. wine, white
rats, etc. and causing TO disappear red
handkerchief. diamond rings and
pieces of gold. On a recall in the quar-
tet starlight. Starlight, Mr.. Daniels
ran in the usual new woman" jest in
these lines.
There's one thing I'll ask
While | have a good chance;
DO these boomers have pockets
The same as our pants2
Starlight, Starlight,
Tell me If tbs true.
Mr. Daniels was cleverly supported
by Louise Royce. Louis Cassavant
Greta Risley, Walter Allen and Leon.
and Walker. Edna Thornton's pleasing
voice and appearance were also com
mented upon most favorably. This com
pany has one of the best choruses OF
mems voices ever heard here, and the
singers have several good chances to
display their rare talent in The Wiz
ard of the Nile"

AN IDEAL PRODUCTION.

In the drawing of his characters in
"Shore Acres" Mr. Herne has shown
great ingenuity Each and every per-
sonage is a distinct type, and their
idiosyncrasies are sharply diiieren-
tiated. The love interest is strong, but
not paramount Ii is the life-long sac
rifice of Uncle Nat and the love of
righteousness that emanates from a
noble heart that holds the audience
spell bound Shores Acres is a play
far superior to the average pastoral
and to one who has witnessed its pre-
sentatiOn the great success it has
achieved is readily understood An
ideal production OF Mr.. Hernes com,
edy-drama will be given at the Grand
Opera House tomorrow night.

speed of lightning and certain studies
