HIS POCKETBooK RECOVERED.

Valuable Papers Belonging to Ex-State
Haven Lumber Yard.
Readers of this paper will remember
that a few weeks ago there was printed
in these columns an account of the
theft of a pocketbook from the Hon
James H. Olmstead at the New Haven
depot. Mr.. Olmsted was on his way
to train, and felt some one crowding
against him. The man at once disap-
peared, and a few minutes later Mr.
Olmstead discovered his pocketbook
missing. 1t contained $25 in money and
valuable documents relating to cases
in which he Is retained. Mr. Olmstead
was much concerned over the loss of
his papers, and it can we'll be under
stood how gratified he was yesterday
when the following letter was read to
him:
New Haven. Conn, Sept. 80. 1897.

they think belong to you, Including. notes,
deeds and letters, and also, we believe, a
pocketbook. The company has no knOwl-
edge how they came there, but as soon as
discovered took them from the workmen
and tied them up in a package and handed
them to us, and requested us to notify you.
We have not opened the package, but have
laid it i'll our safe. aud write to give you
notice If the papers are yours they Will
be delivered 10 you on application, but If
they have value you will probably prefer

pocketbook after abstracting the cash,

away all her rigging and masts. On Sep

man, which offered assistance but the offer
was declined. The captain of the May
Flint proposed to rig jury mast and make
for the nearest port, the hull and steering
apparatus being uninjured.

Monarch, of the Monarch Line of steamers,
plying between New York and London. but

Shinecock Light, on the Long Island coast,

The board of inquiry decided that the DIS
aster was due to the negligence Of the cap

hap, and taken to New York, where she

THE INDIAN.


Morrison's production Of "The In
diam" which comes to the Grand Opera
house Thursday, Friday and Saturday
is claimed to be one of the most inter
esting and effective representations yet
given Of the noble red man, and has
been staged in most lavish and pains
taking manner. 1t is replete with many
startling innovations, and presents a
picture of Indian life never before seen
on the stage. Among the effective and
dramatic novelties shown will be duel
at the lava beds of Idaho, a most pic
turesque mountain scene by moonlight,
the explosion of powder magazine and
destruction of the government stockade,
the stirring denunciation of General
Sterling, U. S. A., by the young Ogallala
chief, the dramatic death of Red
Feather and retributive vengeance of
War Eagle, the old Indian warrior. A.
S. Lipman will be seen at Red Feather
and Red Sterling, a dual part, and will
be we'll supported by company of dra-
matte players, while speciality artists
will introduce new and original matter

beautiful scenery, mechanical and cleo
trical effects, The scenes representing
Coon Hollow, the steamboat race and
the cotton compress in operation. The
New York press was equally unanimous
in commenting on the production during
its run in that city and from Boston
to New Orleans there has not been
dissenting opinion on the merits of the
play, The soft southern drawl which
permeates the language of the charac-
tiers has a particular charm. The thor
ough human nature embodied in the
personages of the play appeals to the
very best taste. Two colored quartettes
furnish it's musical adjuncts. The ad-
vance sale is already large. Prices the
same as always. Matinees 10, Is and 20
cents. Night 10, 20, 30 and so cents.
