tomorrow and Saturday evenings.
Since its great run in both Boston and
New York it has toured the country un-
der Mr.. Brady's direction for the last
two seasons never failing to draw i'm
mense audiences wherever presented
The cast this season is stronger and
better than any previous one and the
scenery all entirely new The elevator
scene is most realistic. 1t is the real
thing" the whole set constitutes a per-
feet calico print mill. The machines
are in full operation with calicoes pass
ing through them to be rolled into
bolts The elevator passes from floor
to floor carrying freight and passen-
gers. 1t is consequently dangerous,
1t is under this heavy dangerous ma
chine that the villain, Richard Stock
ley, thrusts the heroine, Hetty Dray-
son to be crushed to death. The scene,
with it's working safeguard and its
possibility of accidents, is indeed a
thrilling one. 1t will be given here with
all it's beautiful scenery, great cast,
etc, on Thursday. Friday and Satur-
day evenings at the Grand opera house.
There will be matinee on Saturday.
WILBUR OPERA COMPANY.

equipped and improved greatly, will

given at each performance in addition
to an opera complete The repertoire

include what we believe to be most
essential"
Mr. futile then referred to the testi-
mony of the four experts for the de-
fence, and laid stress on the fact that
the experts We're four to four, and that
even if the states physicians had fatty
denied the testimony of those for the
defence he should still hold that the
defence's doctors should be entitled to
belief as quickly as the doctors FOR the
state.
Mr., Tuttle spoke for one hour and
tifty-five minutes.
At 2;20 State Attorney Williams be-
gan the final argument for the defence.
He went into details and brought out
slight incidents which went to show
that Ripple was not insane, but was in
full possession of his mental faculties
and deliberately planned the murder
He characterized the incident of Kip
pie waiting in the hall for his wife on
the evening of the murder, when he
called her out, as waylaying, which
constitutes one of the elements of muir
der in the first degree as defined by the
statutes.
He recalled the various occasions on
which previous to the murder Ripple
had threatened to kill his Wife, and
said that the affection which Ripple
had for his wife was not of the higher
sort, but simply an affection born of
lust.
Finally coming down to the time of
the murder, he graphically described
the events Immediately connected
Herewith and the horrible details of
the deed. He called the attention of
the fury to the actions of Ripple at
the time of the stabbing as testified to
by witnesses of the deed, and showed
that each act was done with DELHI
GRAFTON and purpose which would have
been impossible to an insane man, a
drunken man, or one afflicted with any
sort of a mania except that for the full
fillment of his devilish purpose, design
ed and prepared for by perfectly sane
mind.
Several times during his description
of the murder and other events in Kin
pies life the prisoner, who sat hand
cuffed in the dock between two offi-
GERS, muttered to himself and shook
violently, but otherwise kept control OF
himself.

RAPIDLY BREAKING UP.

Schooner Angler a Total Wreck on the
West Shore
The two masted schooner Angler,
Captain G. e. Brush, from Perth Am
boy, N j., for New London, with a
cargo consigned to William Higgins, is
rapidly breaking up on the west shore
of the harbor, where she was driven in
Fridays storm, and the vessel will
prove a total wreck. The schooner has
been badly pounded by the ice, and
great holes have been torn in her sides.
Efforts to float her have proved futile,
and yesterday it was found that she is
not worth further attempts. She was
built at Smithtown, N. Y, in 1852. She
is SO7 feet in length, 23.9 beam, and
IA feet deep. Her home port is New
York.
