/" "O'BRIEN, THE CONTRACTOR" 4"

Dan Sully's Strong Attraction Opens mt the
Opera House Tomorrow Evening,
"O'Brien, the Contractor" which will he
the attraction at Hhe Pawtucket Opera
House the last three nights Of this week is
the handiwork Of Americas two most
brilliant writers, III. Grattan Donnelly,
author Of Darkest Russia" "Later On"
and other successes, and Leander Richard
son, whose plays have always been ac
ceptcd rs OF great literary value.
"O'Brien, the Contractor" is dramatic
gem, tersely written, telling in bright
crisp language, story full of heart in
terest, combining humor, pathos, Irish
wit, and with such bright exquisite COM
edy, that it takes first rank as the repre-
sentative American play. Many times
dramatic authors will cast their nets into
the ocean Of literature before bringing to
light SO exquisite pearl. The stage pic
lures include a genuine novelty, a view of
railroad nearing completion showing
the men at work In the Rocky Mountain
gorge, and the completion of the road
with the driving of the golden spike makes
a dramatic picture seldom equalled. The
scenery illustrating the play Is faithful
reproduction of the most picturesque and
romantic spots In America.

FALSE REPRESc NATION.
5. b. STEARNS ALLEGES THEM
AGAINST IRVING G4R8UrT.
CIaims That the Affairs Of the Pawtucket
Business College v err faIsihed.

1t is disputed question whether or not
false representations were made at the
time of the sale of the Pawtucket Business
College by Irving Garbutt to Stephen b.
Stearns.
Mr.. Stearns Is from Manchester, N. H.,
and he purchased the business college,
with its furnishings, last September for
$500. He now says that the place has
resulted i'm a loss to him, and he claims
that Mr.. Garbutt misrepresented the num-
ber of students in attendance during the
previous year.
Mr.. Stearns bill In equity was filed few
weeks ago. In 1t he states that he gave
20 % in cash and 5000 in notes for the place,
and he wants the court to restrain the fore
closure of the mortgage that is security for
tn; notes, and also wants restraint upon
the disposing of the notes.
The case was referred by the court today
to master to take testimony.
Mr.. Garbutt, in his answer, says that he
was proprietor OF the business college for
over a year, but that in June, 1896, he
made arrangements to become teacher in
the Pawtucket High School, and author
lied an agent to sell for him.
he says that things were represented to
Mr.. Stearns exactly as they were, and that
further Mr.. Stearns made thorough ex-
animation Of the books and the condition
Of the place before purchasing.

"SHAUN AROON."

Irish Drama to BE Presented at st. Joseph's
Parish Hall Toright.
The entertainment given Monday even
ing at st. Joseph's School Hall, Walcott
street, under the auspices of the Young
Mems Club, was a decided success from all
points of view. The young men compris-
ing this club, and the young ladies OF the
p irish seem to have a natural ability for
this line of work, and whatever they at
tempt to do they perform in finished
manner.
This, in a manner, is due to their rev.
erend pastor, who takes delight in drill
ling the young people of the parish in the
mysteries OF the histronic art.
This evening ''Shaun Aroon" will be pre-
sented by the members of st. Joseph's
Temperance Society. Besides the regular
play there will be many pleasing specialties
introduced.
The members of the temperance society
are particularly well adapted for this line
of stage work, and those who will be In
attendance will be more than satisfied
with the evenings entertainment.
The drama, sShaun Aroon," Is one that
appeals directly to every lover of the old
sod, and the trying and thrilling scenes OF
the drama will bring back to their minds
eye many pleasant tremembrances of former
dayS.

barn DESTROYED
An EARLY Morning Blaze
on jefferson Avenue.
One Horse Burned Badly and
Had to Be Killed.
The Blaze Thought to BE of an IGcsadia~ 2
0rigln-No Insurance Carried.

This morning, shortly after O'Clock, ,th
department were called upon to respond
to an ala IN rung in from box %, and the
fire proved to be in barn in the rear of 80
Jefferson avenue.
When the fire was discovered 10 had
gained too great headway to be checked,
and the firemen partially devoted their at
tentions to keeping it from spreading to-
adjoining property. The barn was quickly
destroyed.
When the flames first broke out aud
shot upward the residents o. the other.
side OF the river supposed the fro much
more serious than it proved.
The barn which was not very preten-
tious building, was owned by Mrs. Ellen
Murphy, and was used by her son, John
Murphy, teamster who works on tho
public highway.
When the fire broke out one OF Murphy's
horses was in the barn, and succeeded i'm
kicking itself loose, but before the animal
made its way out it was 30 severely burned
that the owner called on Jason Il. Law
renee, agent for the Society for the Pre-
ventation Of Cruelty to Animals, this
morning, and asked that the animal be
shot to relieve 1t of its sufferings.
No cause can be assigned for the origin
of the fire, and 1t is thought by those re-
siding In the Vicinity that it was the
work of an incendiary.
Tho fire was extinguished after the build
ing was in ruins, and the recall was
sounded about 3:15, an hour after tho
alarm was sent in.

Big AUDIENCE PLEASED.
THE SECOND PRESENTATION OFS
1.-THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY"
Mr.. Tlerneys Clever lntcrpretatl0n Of Gas-
pard Makes a Decided tilt.

The second performance OF the "Cbimes
of Normandy" given last evening, showed
decided Improvement over the previous
nights work. This is accounted for when
1t is taken into consideration that there
were many in the cast who had never ap-
peared in opera before. Ouoc they had
conquered their stage fright the trus
genius of the amateurs came to the surface
and the audience was treated to one of the
best amateur performances ever given In
the city.
Through hout the whole opera the rough
edges seemed to have smoothed over, the
result being an excellent Interpretation of
the authors ideas. Miss Mulver portray
ing the good for nothing Serpolctte and
Miss Butler the lost marchioness were iR
even better voice than the previous even
ing, and seemed to have grasped more
complete idea OF the real meaning OF their
parts.
One of the finest pieces of acting seen I'm
this city for many day was that of John
f. Tierney as Gasperd, the old miser.
The scene where he gloats over his gold,
and finally becomes maniac lighting for
1t was true to nature and places Mr.. Tier
ney among the best amateur actors in the
State. John Il. Kelly, the notary, dis
played many stage eccentricities which
were well and timely put, and demon
strated that the stage was an old stamping
ground for him. The same opera will to
given tonight. .
