Burglars Torture an Aged Woman
by Burning Her Feet.

Oil City, Pa, Jan. 20.-After chase Of
twenty miles, IVES and Sam Stamford,
Ard Strahl and Harry Carnahan were ar
rested yesterday on a charge of attempted
robbery at ChapmanviIle, this county.
About midnight four men effected an en-
trance to the house of Miss Jane Richard
ardson, an aged woman, and demanded her
money.
She refused to tell where she kept her
money and valuables, and the robbers pro-
ceeded to torture her by applying a lighted
candle to her feet. Her screams of agony
awakened a fourteen year-old boy, who
attempted her rescue.
He was shot in the arm. Then he rushed
out and awakened r. NJ Billings and George
Grove, two young farmers, who lived some
distance away. They chased the robbers,
following the trail in the snow, and finally
came up with them at 8 o'clock.
Miss Richardson will recover.

Entrances and Exits.

1t can never be said of Henry Arthur
Jones that he is not up-to-date. The sub
ject of his latest play is at least as recent
as the mining boom of last year. Whether
the boom of the moment be in one branch
Of finance or another, there is pretty sure
to be found in its forefront some mammoth
operator like Mr. Bailey Prothero (Mr.
L. s. Willard whose pockets blind chance
during 4 few lucky weeks fills with gold.
Bailey ProtherO, when the curtain rises,
is living on his wits as a fashionable for
tUne-teller, the lucky possessor OF mys-
teTiOUs gift of divination, which he is I'M
able to explain. As he never discloses facts
in the past lives OF his dUpes without hav-
ing carefully asccrtained them beforehand
with the help of female confederate (his
wife), his success is naturally prodigious
From the past he moves with easy conf
dence to the future, and a few luck Y gu uesses
as to the development OF certain shares
brings not only society to his feet, but the
city as we'll.
\ rogue OF such caliber as Prothero
isShOt found in the contemporary drama.
He is said to be so colossal, So complete,
as to remind one of Robert Macaire. Yet
he has an underlying goodness in his ma
ture that endearS him to the spectator.
His devotion and tenderness to his wife,
the touch OF parental tenderness III sparing
his bitterest prosecutor in the person OF his
soH-these and other minor qualities OF
open-handedness and scrupulousncss in pay
ing his servants with some portion of the
money that he has scrapcd together for his
flight, are redeeming traits.
MI Willard will present THE Rogues'
Comedy at the Lafayette Square next
week. This new play of Mr. Jones' has
never been presented in this country.

A VOTE TODAY AT SACRAMENTO.
Perkins Only Needs Three Votes to
Make His Election Certain.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 11.-Tomorrow
a vote will be taken in both houses of
the legislature for the selection of a
united States senator. On the eve of
election the situation remains the same
as 1t was last week. Tonight Mr.. Per
klns' managers claimed IS votes on the
frst ballot. Samuel l.. Shortridge con-
ceded the truth of the estimate and said
that the remaining 16 votes would be
thrown to him. There is a strong likeli-
1000 that Shortridge is mistaken, how
ever, as the story became current today
that the four votes hitherto unplaced
would not in any emergency be cast for
Mr. Shortridge. With So votes, it seems
impossible to bring about the defeat of
Mr.. k as he only has to secure
three more to maxi his election certain.
