BURBANK THEATER-The Broad
way Theater company commenced the
third week of their engagement at this
house last night, the play being '"The
District Attorney" The plot depicts the
corruptness which existed in the poll
tics of New York city at the time of the
Lexow senatorial investigation and the
temptations and trials which beset an
honest man who struggled between his
duty as the district attorney and his love
for his wife when he finds that her
father is the leader of those who have
been robbing the city and who have es-
capped punishment by placing the guilt
on an innocent young man. The piece
reaches the climax at the end of the
third act in the scene at the district at
torney's office when the wronged con-
Wet, expecting to prove his innocence by
certain papers which he has confided to
his sweetheart. finds that she, thinking
she was acting for his good, has given.
them to the political leader, his worst
enemy, and thus he has lost his only
hope of proving his innocence. The
threads of the story are picked up in
the last act and an anti-climax is worked
up by the district attorneys resigning
| his office in order that he may save his
| father-in-law from penal servitude and
at the same time free the young convict
The part of the district attorney was
ably filled by Charles Hallock. Harry
F. Adams gave very good impersona-
ton of the politician working up to the.
proper point in the third act when he
finds himself accused by his victim. Guy
Bates Post made the most of the small
but important part of the convict H.
D. Blake more did what he could to make
funny part out of the editor, General
Ruggles. The parts taken by Charles
Clary, Mauricio O'Connor and Bert s.
Frank were conscientiously filed. OF
the women, Nan Miff1in. as the convict's
fiancee, displayed unexpected ability as
an emotional actress.
In the character of Grace Brain the
leaders daughter there is quite an op-
portunity for acting, and the part was,
cast for Miss Truax. On account of her
indispostion 1t was assumed at short
notice by Louise Jones, who was unable,
partly no doubt, from nervousness and
the brief preparation, to do 1t justice.

MRS. MARIA COCHRAN.
Death of an Aged, Estimable and Well
Known Woman Yesterday.

Death of an Aged. Estimable and Well
known Woman Yesterday.
The many friends of Mrs Cochran,
or as she was more famiiarly known,
Aunt Maria" will regret to hear of
her death, which occurred at 1920
o'clock Saturday morning. Mrs. Coch-
ran, whose maiden name was Baird,
was born near Sand Hill, Marshall
county, this State. on December 18th,
1907 She was the daughter Of James
Baird, who emigrated TO America from
Ireland in the latter part of ZOO. She
is the last to depart this life of large
family of children. She has resided III
Wheeling for seventy years, having
come to Wheeling when girl Of eigh-
teen or nineteen years Of age. She was
married to James A. Cochran, who II
will be remembered was in charge Of
the toll gate on Caldweli's run Tor many
years, in the spring Of 1850, at Ciccin-
natl, being betrOthed to him for fifteen
years. Their meeting on the day Of
their marriage was by accident, how
ever. and on the following day Nh.
Cochran. her husband left for the west
to seek his fortune in the then newly
discovered gold mines of California,
where he remained for nearly nineteen
years. On his return TO Wheeling,
which occurred in 1868, he found his
faithful wife awaiting him.
Aunt Maria was a true Christian.
having embraced the Episcopal faith
fifty years ago, and was at the time of
her death a member of the st. MAJ
thew's congregation. Aunt Maria has
many friends among the old soldiers in
this vicinity, having been a prominent
figure among them during the war. she
was always a friend of the friendless
and motherless. and no hungry or
weary traveller ever left her door I'M
cared for. Since the death of her hus-
band, which occurred five years ago,
she has made her home with her niece,
Mrs. R. l.. Frazier, Al National road,
from which place she will be buried
this afternoon.

Railway Men Regretting Their Action OF
Last Campaign.

Last Campaign.
Thoughtful and conservative railway
officials are now regretting the action Oh
the railroad companies in the last nation
al campaign, when they went into poll
tics so savagely and malciously and
made so many converts TO the cause OF
so-called sound money. Disastrous ef-
fects are now sure TO follow on the track
of that unwise political movement. and
alread the agitation for the 2-cents-a-
mile rate in some of the Western States
shows how the wind is blowing. The
defeat of the anti-scalping bill last week
was another instance showing the very
bitter opposition which railway interfer-
ence in poitce has stirred up. a Few
DAYS ago one of the officials of a western
road. while visiting in Pittsburg, SAID
that 'in Illinois, Kansas. Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and other States the sentiment. was
now such as made it impossible for a
man connected with railroads in any
way to obtain the nomination for any
political place, and legislators who were
inclined to be reasonable and just. even
If they had no railroad interests at
stake. were singled out as suspicious
characters and warned that they were
being watched in their attitude toward
the railroads. Democrats, Popuists and
all other factions have agreed to make
war against railroad interference in po-
litical campaigns, and have banded them
selves together to fight for reductions of
fares and other restrictions on corporate
powers.
The officials of the Illinois roads are pre-
pairing to make n fight against the bill
for establishing a maximum rate in the
State for cents n mile for passenger
fares. They have been told on excellent
authority that such a bill is to be pre-
scented at Springfield and they have pre-
pared all the arguments possible to fight

REVIVAL IN WEST WHEELING.

West Wheeling is having great religious
awakening. The sinners of that town are
being made to feel uncomfortable these
days and are compelled to go TO Bellaire
and Bridgeport for refuge. The Saints of
God are holding continuous meetings every
day at their tabernacle. commencing early
IN the morning and lasting all day and
evening. Revival services are also being
held in the Methodist Church and have
stirred up considerable excitement. Scores
of people have professed conversion and
the prospects are that the morals of that
town will be considerably bettered by the
onslaught on sin.

The St. Louis Lowered the Record.

Hurst Castle, June 3o.-a.s0 a. m.-
Passed steamer st. Louis, New York for
Southampton.
On this voyage the St. Louis has broken
the New York Southampton record of six
days, l hour and 80 minutes, which has
been held by the Furst Bismarck since
Sept. 1898. To equal the time of her
fastest previous eastward record, days,
IL hours and 80 minutes the ST. Louis was
due to arrive off the Needles, two miles
this side of Hurst Castle at 4.27 O'Clock
this morning. She has therefore lowered
the eastward record by more than an hour
and half.
The st. Louis cleared the Sandy Hook
lightship at II. 81 a. m. on June %, and
her time to Hurstcastle is six DAYS, nine
hours and % minutes, or to the Needles,
the timing point, about 6 days, 9 hours
and / minutes.
This time is one hour and 81 minutes
better than the former record, days, 10
hours and IS minutes, held by the First
Bismarck, and hours and 13 minutes
faster than her own previous best east.
