The Kerry Cow to a good house at
the Walnut This play has long since
established itself in public favor as
representing ONE of the best produce
tlons of its type now or at any time be-
fore the public. The story is a most in
terestlng one, the characters true to the
LIE OF Erin in the old days, and there is
just enough of sentiment and fun in the
dialogue TO make a proper and very
enjoyable mixture. Plenty of incidents
serve 10 keep interest continually alb
sorbed, and altogether the early and
long g-continued success of THE Kerry
Cow is not to be wondered at. AS
usual Mr.. Murphy played and sang
Dan O'Hara, and did both with the
mingled force and tenderness of which
he Is master. Miss Ila Irvine was the
Nora Drew, and failed in nothing that
could give the character effective inter-
pretataon. The other parts were in like
good hands and the fine scenery we'll
helped along the general excellence Of
the play.

LAID OUT WITH A CLUB
Dan Bailey Attacked Near the Good Samaritan
li ...t.. Mission

Dan Bailey, a young man who is evil
IDENTIFY in hard luck and who says that
his home is in Minnesota, was brought
to the receiving hospital at IL o'clock
last night from the Good Samaritan
lodging house on Upper Main street. He
had a severe cut on the forehead over
the left eye, which looked as though
inflicted with some blunt instrument
Bailey said that he was about enter
ing the lodging house to sleep for the
night when he was accosted by two fell
lows who asked him for the price of
bed. To this he replied that he had no
money himself and could not help them,
whereupon he was set upon and struck
three or four times, being knocked AL
most senseless by the blow upon the
forehead. His assailant thereupon ran
away and, regaining his feet, staggered
into the office of the Good Samaritan,
falling senseless to the floor. Seeing
that he was cut. telephone message was
sent to the police station for assistance.
DR.. Hagan dressed and sewed up the
wound and, as Bailey had evidently been
drinking some, he was given bed In
jail for the night. The officers are in
clined to doubt his story OF the assault
and think that he was hit with a club
or cane during a free fight. Detective
Bradish went out to investigate and at
1890 returned, having in custody hard
looking customer named Charlie Mckay,
whom he booked on suspicion or pelng

FOR THREATS TO KILL
Mss Ottilie Burkowsky Arrested at the lnsti-
cation Of Elsa Schoonmaker

At her room in the Savoy hotel at the
corner of Sixth and Hill street Miss OF
tillie Burkowsky was last night arrested
by Deputy Constable Mugnemi and
lodged in the city jail charged with hav-
ing made threats to kill Mrs. Elsa
Schoonmaker. The story of the
trouble between the women dates back
for several years, having its origin in
disappointed love.
At one time Miss Burkowsky was en-
gagged to be married to Schoonmaker
but her fiance proved tickle, for meet
ing fair violinist, he married her and
went east Several years passed and
Mr.. and Mrs. Schoonmaker separated,
the wife returning to this city. while he
remained in Cincinnati, o. Mrs Schoon-
maker asserts that as soon as Miss Bur-
kowsky learned of her presence in the
city she began to send threatening let
ters, which have since been continually,
received from time to time.
Patience ceasing to be virtue, she
at last sought the district attorney who,
after examining some of the bloadthirsty
missives, issued complaint for Miss
Burkowsky's arrest. When the latter
was brought to police headquarters she
spent some time in a vain endeavor To
secure bondsmen, but failed, as she
could reach none of her friends by tele-
phone. Consequently she spent the night
in Jail, but will probably secure her lib

ceived saying that there have been reg
istered for work one hundred heads OF

FOUR FIRES ARE STATED
Piles of Oil Saturated Paper Ignited or

The Proprletors Absent At the Time-The
Flames Discovered and E; tin
guiste1 by q P1sser-by

What was undoubtedly an incendiary
fire occurred yesterday afternoon about
$40 o'clock in the lodging house at 2l5
North Broadway run by Mrs. Buck.
A passer by on the street saw flames Ill
the front parlor through the window,
broke open the front door and, hndlng
the carpet blazing in two different places
stamped out the flames before mucn
damage had been done. A moment later
two more fires were discovered on the
dining room floor and extinguished as
the first had been.
No one was at home at the time, but
that it was the intention to burn ths
house was evident for each of the four
fires had been kindled by igniting piles
of paper saturated with coal oil. NO
alarm was turned in and few persons
knew of the incident. Mrs. Buck came
home about twenty minutes after the
fire had been put out and was greatly
surprised to find how narrowly she had
escaped being burned out. The atten-
ton of the police was called to the mat
ter by the owner of the building, VINO
sought Chief Glass and asked for assist
ance in locating the perpetrator OF the
outrage.
Detective Goodman was uetdlleu anu
went to the spot. After satisfying HIM
self that an attempt had been made TO
set the place on fire he questioned Mrs.
Buck as to her movements and insur-
,ance. She said that two or three days
ago she had sold her furniture and
good will to a lady whose name she did
not know, but who resided on Boyle
Heights. She was to be paid $3.50 for
her stuff and had taken $50 as deposit.
She had an insurance policy of $1,000 on
her goods, but under close questioning
finally said that she had paid but $7oO
for the furniture and furnishings.
At 1890 or little before l o'clock she
had left the premises and made calls
on a Spring street real estate agent and
the Boyle Heights woman who had
bought the place. Neither could be
found in and she returned only to find
that the fire had been kindled during
her absence. Mrs. Buck could think oil
no way the blaze could have started ac-
cidentally. there having been no fire in
either dining room or parlor all day.
After close questioning the officer de-
parted satisfied of the nature of the fire
but reserying his opinion as to whd set
it until further investigation has been

Found 0ulitless of Battery and VIII Now
Have His Turn
Before Justice Owens yesterday after
noon S. A. Carlisle was tried on charge
of battery preferred by Robert F. Henry,
with whom he had fight on Tuesday
evening last. Both men roomed at the
lodging house No. 53s South Flower
street, and, as shown, Henry had hard
feelings toward Carlisle because of GER
tain actions which he disliked. On the
evening in question the men met and a
fight ensued on the side porch Of tho
house. Carlisle was hit over the head
with a water pitcher and his scalp cut
open, and in return put a pair of black
eyes on his opponent and bruised him
up generally.
On the stand yesterday each swore
that the other was the aggressor, Car
Isle that Henry had deliberately laid in
wait for him and hit him with the pitch
er Henry that he had only used the
pitcher to defend himself from a fierce
attack made on him by Carlisle. At the
close of the testimony Justice Owens
decided that Carlisle was not guilty,
and ordered that he be discharged from
custody. Now Carlisle says that he
shall cause Henry's arrest for assault,
with a deadly weapon, and further de-
velopments will follow.
