Crane is to present at the Hyperion theater on Christmas night, directly concerns four teen people, principal among whom are Major Richard Fairfax, and Madame Constance Robert, a widow. The ma for and the widow live on adjoining plantations, which were once connected, and the opening scene is laid in the widows mansion, where the characters repair after a run across the country with the hounds. Among the other per sonages ofthe story are the majors own son. a handsome young fellow; his adopted son, who, unfortunately has not the Fairfax honor; his matronly sister. his overseer, the master of his hounds young planter, an old squire in love with the majors sister, and the servants on the two estates. The cos tunes worn in the play are of the Georgian period and are picturesque and handsome.
 The plot of 'The Senator" which MT Crane presents at the Christmas mati- nee, deals with a claim before congress for several years, known as Silas Den mans claim, for reimbursement for the loss of an American ship sunk by the British in a neutral port in the 1872 war. The original claimant was the late Cap tain Samuel Reed of Washington, D. c. Captain Reeds ship was privateer and had put into a Portugal port for fresh water. and while there was un- lawfully attacked by a British squad ron.

CLERKS BRAVE CAPTURE.

Four Burglars Awed by His Ready Re
 volver-Wounded Two of Them.
 Canaan, Conn.,, Dec. 22-Four burg lars of gang of six were captured by Martin Rood in Jackson & Eggleston's store here early this morning. Rood, who sleeps in the store, was awakened by the movements of the men, and by prompt use of his revolver, wounded two of the burglars and marched four of them, including one whom he had shot, into a room and locked the door. The other members of the gang escaped. Rood then went to the front door and fired his revolver until it attracted the attention of neighbors and then stood on guard over the second man whom he had shot and who was partially help less, until an officer arrived and the four men were placed under arrest. The prisoners gave the following names: J. c, Davis, Percy St. Clair, Tommy Me- Graw, and Whitney. Davis was shot In the right thigh and St. Clair was shot in the back. Neither one was seri- ously wounded. It is thought the men were tramps, as they were not armed and had no tools. The store was brok- en into several times before.
 Dennis Hickey escaped by jumping through a window.
 At 1:30 this afternoon three of the four men captured-St. Clair, McGraw, and Whitey-were taken before Justice Edward s. Roberts for hearing. In court Whitey finally said his right name is Thomas Martin. Davis, the man who was wounded, proved to be more seriously hurt than was thought, and was unable to appear. His injuries, however, will not prove fatal. All of the three men pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary, and without fur ther ceremony were held for trial in the superior court at New Milford in April. Bonds were fixed at $500 in each case, and all three were taken to jail.
