Well Known Brooklyn Jurist Passed
 Away Early Yesterday Morning.
 New York Dec. 10--Judge Asa w. Penney of the United States district court died of diabetes at 3:20 this morn ing at his home, 190 Washington Park, Brooklyn, after an illness of less than a week He was sixty-four years old Mrs. Penney, his daughter Marie, and Dr. John r. Richardson, the family physician, were at the bedside when he died For several hours previous to his death he was In a state of coma.
 Judge Penney was taken i'll on Sun day morning while attending services in the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church, of which he was member
 President Grant appointed him Unit ed States district attorney for the east ern district of New York to succeed General Benjamin F. Tracy. He was reappointed by MT. Hayes and Pres- dent Garfield and held the post for a little over twelve years Last July President Mckinley appointed him judge of the United States district court of eastern New York to succeed Judge Charles L. Benedict.
 Upon assuming the duties of his new office Judge Penney found a big admir- atty calendar, which had been accumu- lating for years, awaiting him. He promptly set about to work off the cal endar, and as a result labored night and day. It was this that really caused his death.
 Judge Penney expected to preside on last Monday at the trial of Carter, the able seaman who stabbed to death last July Master-at-Arms John Kenny on board the battleship Indiana while ly- ing at the Brooklyn navy yard. On account of his illness the trial was nec- essarily postponed.
 Judge Penney was a member of the New England society. the Long Island Historical society and the Psi Upsilon college fratrenity. He had travelled eX- tensively, and his home, which is filled with books, paintings and statuary, contains many of the treasures he had collected in the course of his travels.
 No arrangements were made for the funeral this morning, but it is proba- ble that the speakers will be the Rev Dr. David Gregg. his pastor, and the Rev. pr. Theodore l.. Cuyler, life long friend.

Grand Opera House. "OLD MONEY BAGS"

A melodrama with a plot is a novelty indeed and is deserving of earnest con- sideration. Such is the case with "Old Money Bags,' in which Sam Morris appeared last night before a large au- dience. Not only is the plot interest ing and sensational, but it contains many novel, entertaining and exciting denouements in it's unrayeling As Moses Levy, MT. Morris is seen to ex- cellent advantage The character ad- mits of beautiful pathetic touches as we'll as the most ludicrous situations, and aided as he is by q most competent company he is enabled to give a most gratifying performance. N' Earl as the Irish miner-butier is a very anus ing comedian and had full scope for his talent. MT. Buchanan fills well the part of the villain. MT. Slavin as the young hero was easily the favorite with the female portion of the house. for beside being a good actor he is decided ly handsome MT Stewart, the juve- nile man, is not far behind him in etth- CT respect, and with Miss Louise Rip ley as Blanch, the adventures; Miss Sadie Stockton as the injured mother, Miss Allen as the petite lover, and sev- eral other good characters, the attrac- tion is capitally presented. All four acts are elaborately placed on the stage and special scenery is carried by the company for fun and soul-stirring Sen sation.
 "Old Money Bags" is well entitled to the big house last night, and the audi ence applauded to the echo. Matinee and night performances to-day will close its engagement here.

HAVING FINE SUCCESS.
Despite the Fighting of the Theatrical
 rat

Despite the Fighting of the Theatrical
 Trust.
 Yesterdays New York Evening Sun says: Francis Wilson's first appear ance on the west side has proved, in spite of all predictions to the contrary, uncommonly lucrative As MT. Wilson is at war with the Theatrical trust, af- ter his engagement at the Broadway there was no other Broadway theater open to him, so on his own account he determined to take q little flyer" across town and appear for week at the Grand opera house. The result has been an enormous success, for although the prices at that theater are lower than those at the theaters at which he usually appears, the theater is so big and the attendance at every perform ance has been so tremendously large that his week at the Grand promises to prove one of the most successful finan- cially, of his season"

well as her evidently sincere affection for

Eiva Craven, daughter OF Mr.. and
mrs. AL Craven, aged IA Years, was
drowned in the slough near L. P.
maryatt's place, Monday evening be-
tween and Z o'clock. The circum-
stances, as near as can be learned, are
that she in company with Elmer. the
young nephew of Judge Maryatt
were in bathing, and in joking way
would call out to the lad that she was
drowning. Unfortunately at last she
ana get beyond her depth and when
Elmer realized the danger he hurried
to boat that was near at hand, and
made every effort to rescue her, but
before he could reach her she sank
to rise no more. He gave the alarm
and her body was recovered about
midnight, the body having almost
reached Snake river. The funeral
was from the Congregational church
at 2. m Tuesday and was very
largely attended. Elva has lived
with the family of Judge Maryatt for
the past Is months. Among her
young associates she was very popu-
lar, and her untimely death deeply re-
GREETED by all. That the bereaved
family have the sympathy of the en-
tire community was evidenced by the
large attendance at the funeral cere-
monies.
