| South Before the War" which is one
of the best productions of the kind that
has appeared in New Haven this sea-
son. Every one of the novelties pre-
sented is a success, and there is not a

Advertising Agent Cox, he secured sew

enter a contest for a huge cake pre-
scented by John Lucy of the Hotel Met

walk, which was received with ap-
plause, was finished, the contest of To-
cal couples began. AS each couple
came upon the stage they were receiv-

CRESCENT ENTERTAINMENT.

Audience Delighted With the Per-
formance-Features of the Entertain
ment-Dancing Closes the Pleasures
of the Evening.
The inclemency of the weather inter-
fered somewhat with the attendance at
the Crescent entertainment last even
ing, However, the audience was an APP
preciative and responsive one and made
up in enthusiasm what it lacked in
numbers,
For those who braved the dampness
and wet a most pleasant and enjoyable
evening was afforded, and the occa-
sion will long be remembered for its
pleasant nature. From the opening
number on the program by the HI. III. S,
Mandolin club to the fall of the curtain
the numbers were splendidly given and
not a moment Jagged,
Encores were the order of the even
ing, and they were graciously respond
ed to. The second number, a duet, Il
Feel Thy Angel Spirit was superbly
given. Miss Belle Mansions Sigourney,
violinist, rendered several selections in
admirable style. Mr.. Harry e. Wood
stock was the accompanist for the first
| half of the entertainment. Probably
the second part of the program, S.
Thayer Smiths farce, my Lord in Liv-
cry" was the most eagerly looked for,
| Anticipation was running high as to
what histrionic honors the boys would
reap for themselves.
F. r. Haight 49, as Spiggot, an old
family butler, was clever. c. H. Brad
ley 49, as Sybil Amberly, daughter of
Sir George Amberly; II. E. Burgess '9S
as Laura, and H. l.. Foote '9S, as Rose
friends of SYPHILIS, caused no end OF
merriment in the guise of maidens
Especially attractive was Mr.. Burgess
whose feminine graces were much en-
We'd by the fair sex in the audience. II
is an injustice to single out one as bet
ter than the other as each In their re-
| spective role was good, and the play
went without a hitch and claims SUI
periorlty over the general amateur per.

critic could be but satisfied and the
performers could but feel that their eff
forts had been appreciated by the al
most constant applause.

ENTERT4TNMENTS,

Edward Roses dramatization of An
thony Hopes Prisoner of Zenda' was
produced for the first time in this city
house. The piece follows closely the
lines of the story and abounds in strik-
ing scenes and interesting situations
with sufficient comedy to relieve the
tension of the romance which predomf-
mates the story.
The piece opens with a prologue
which leads into the situation on which
the plot, if such 1t may be called, turns,

YESTERDAY IN THE COURTS
PLAINTIFFS MOTION IN PUGET
SOUND BANK CASE DENIED

BY Judge Townsend In United States Court
Cases In Superior Court-Short Calen-
dar Session Closed for Two weeks
Other Court Notes.
Judge w. X. Townsend in the United
States court yesterday handed down
decision in the case Of Louis K. Church,
receiver of the Puget Sound National
bank of Everitt, Washington, insolvent
against Edward Aver of Old Saybrook,
bank
The case is an action at law to en-
force the individual liability Of a stock
holder, the allegations of the writ be-
ing that the bank is insolvent and that
the defendant stakeholder is liable for
the debts.
The defence set up that the comp
troller of currency had no jurisdiction
to appoint a receiver, but this was
overruled; and the defence held further
that the bank is now solvent, having
assets of more than 100000 to pay liza
bilities other than those to the stock
holder, amounting to only $4,000. The
defence holds further that the receiver
has been discharged and that the stock
holder cannot be assessed to pay the
liabilities Of the bank to the other
stockholders.
The plaintiff moved that the defence
be striker out. Judge Townsend, in
his decision, denies the motion which
is to the effect that the defence is a
good one.

DEATH UPON The GALLONS.
WILLIAM WILLIAMS SENTENCED To
BE HANGED JULY 2 {.
Murdered Lawrence S~chneubeI With
out Any PrOvOcatiOn-His Victim
for Bryan and WILL
inns Shot Him Down.

A man was sentenced TO death yester-
day for the wantOn and unprovoked taxing
of another human life. The man upon
whom the death sentence was pronounced
was William Williams. who. without prov
ocation. shot Lawrence Schneubel to death
one evening shortly after the election. Inc
tragedy occurred on East Eighteenth street
and Schneubel's only ofense was that ne
had shouted for Bryan. This incensed
Williams. a tough young negro VINO was
loafng about with several companions, and
he killed him. SchneUbel was slightly I'M
der the influence of liquor, but offered no
provocation to Williams. He was convict
ed in the criminal court several weeks ago
and yesterday he was sentenced 10 Ole
upon the scafold July q. between 3 a. m.
and ) y. II.
Williams has no money OF friends and
there is not the slightest probability of any
p~rotracted delay in the execution. Will
Jams may be repTieved, but a pardon is
considered out of the question. The crime
was so wanton and unnecessary that no
public sympathy has ever been manifested
for the murderer.
What have you to say why sentence or
death should not be passed upon you?"
These ominous words. pronounced in
tones BETTING their solemnity, were ut
tered by Judge Woford, of the criminal
court, yesterday morning. and in response
Williams, who Is coal black. short and
thickset, with a generally vicious cast OF
countenance, arose slowly to his feet.
"Nothin'," he mumbled.
Then" replied the judge. "tn accord
ance with the verdict of the jury, IT IS
the sentence Of the court that you be taken
out on the 18th day of July, 1887, at some
hour between 9 o'clock in the forenoon and
8 o'clock in the afternoon and hanged by
the neck until you are dead"
Other Sentences.
Judge wofford overruled motions for new
trials in the cases of Anna n Luther
Ross, who were convicted of murdering
Jake Townsend. Mrs. Ross was at first
given three years and her son two years,
but Judge WoffOrd made the sentences two
years each.
p. d. Tobie's motion for a new trial
was overruled and he was sentenced 20 ten
years for forgery. He filed an appeal bond
in the sum OF $500 and will carry his case
to the supreme court.
Mike Russell had six months of a four
years term for burglary taken of and he
was sentenced to three and one-half years
IN the penitentiary.

FIVE PER CENT A MONTH.
An Oklahoma Man Sues for 500 Prin-
cipRI and 500 Interest Piled
Up in Two Years.

William Moore, of Perry, o. T., yester-
day brought suit in Justice Walls court
to recover 800 and interest at 5 per cent
a month for two years, from John ]. La
mar, of this city. On jun II. 1885, Lamar
gave his note to Moore for SlO0 with 5 per
cent interest a month. the interest to be-
come a part of the principal at the end of
each sixty days. In bringing the suit Moore
does not ask for the compound interest,
per cent interest a month, which now
amounts to 500. Under the laws of Mis-
souri, the maximum interest that can be
charged is s per cent per annum. but Moore
claims the Oklahoma laws permit any in
terest that may be agreed upon.
