"SPARTACUS'-It is more than 20
years ago since John Mccullough pre-
scented the play of "Spartacus, the
Gladiator" to a Salt Lake audience;
gotten, and there were few in last
gotter, and there were few in last
nights gathering who had any idea of
the drama they were to see. Sparta
GUS is itself play with history. 1t
dates from the time a half a century
or more ago, when Macready was the
idol of the English stage, as Forrest
was of the American, and when the
two men were active and bitter rivals.
Macready had had Sheridan Knowles
write Virginius for him, and it was an
nounced that he would bring his great
triumph to America Forrest there
upon announced an English tour, and
desiring some play other than the
Shakespearean tragedies, he offered a
large prize for the best tragedy sub
mitted by an American author. A
vast amount of manuscript was COM
piled, and "Spartacus," by DR.. Bird,
was chosen; in it Forrest made an even
greater reputation than Macready did
in ''Virginius." At Forests death the
play fell to John Mccullough, who
had played with the great tragedian

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
L. L. MORRIS ARRESTED ON THE
COMPLAINT OF THOS. MCCOY.
Three Checks, Aggregating $3.50,
the Amount of His Alleged
rongdoing-Mrs. Morris Visits
Her Husband at the Jail and
Talks Plainly and Sensibly.

L. L. Morris was arrested last eve
ming by the police on a complaint
sworn to by Thomas Mccoy, the livery
stable keeper. charging him with
forgery. Morris has been in the en-
ploy of Mccoy as a buggy washer and
stable hand for years and it is alleged
that on December and December
last he forged his employers name to
three checks for SO, SO and $3.50, re-
spectively, drawn on the Utah Com
mercial and Savings bank. The checks
were presented at the bank and it APP
peared bore such good limitations of
McCoy's signature that they were
cashed at the bank and the alleged
forgery was not discovered until Mr..
Mccoy checked over his bank account
at the end of the year.
Detectives Sheets and Janney, who
made the arrest. found Norris in a
gambling house, and on being searched
at the police station he had SIS in his
rocket
An hour or two after Norris was ar
rested, his wife, a pretty, lady-like lit
tie woman, in tears and evidently
much distressed, made her appearance
at the police station and requested to
see HeE 0dDldlH
conducted her to the cell and the priS-
oner, blubbering like a baby, essayed
to embrace her. The little woman, pull
ing herself up to her full height, scorn-
fully re9ulsed him, saying very de-
cidedly that she had simply come to
ask him if he was guilty of the charge
against him, and that if he was she
would have nothing more to do with
him, and hoped if he had committed
the forgery and brought disgrace on
himself and family that he would be
committed, but if he was innocent she
would stand by him.
Morris hung his head and refused to
answer. She asked if it was true that
he had been arrested in a gambling
house, but the man still remained 81
lent, and the wife dried her tears and
walked out of the police yard with a
firm and decided step, indicating that
her mind was fully made up as to the
course she would pursue regarding her
husband

What Corbett Thinks.

Detroit. Jan. 4.-When James J. Corbett
was informed that Fitzsimmons had
signed the articles for their match at
Jersey City this afternoon, he expressed
himself as being very glad that the match
had been finally arranged. He declared
that he was ready and willing TO fight,
and that he would surely be on hand on
March II.
AS to the amount of the side bet,
whether it shall be 5000 or $4,000, Cor
bett said that he had $1,000 already posted
and that as soon as FitZSimmons covered
it he would have 5000 additional ready
to put up, if FitZsimmons wanted to go
higher.
Corbett will close his theatrical season
on February l, and Immediately go into
active training for the fight. He does
not know where he will train, as it will
depend in some degree on the location of
the battle ground. Corbett thinks ne is
almost in good enough condition to meet
Fitzsimmons now, but he says he will
work faithfully, and be in the pink of
condition when he steps into the ring on
March II.

Peoria Journal: For the sixth time
President Cleveland has sent the name
of John Beard to the senate as post
master at Danville, Ill. But Uncle
Joe" Cannon still has his snickersee out
and will attempt once more to prevent
the confirmation of the appointment
by the senate.
Elgin News: 1t may be unlawful for
citizens of the United States to enlist
for Cuba's freedom, but the sympathy
and spirit shown must, indeed, be
grateful. Indeed, Americans cannot
help themselves; they are born to
liberty as a duck to water. Life. with
out freedom is valueless. Americans
have earned the right to be proud.

NOT A PIRATE.
Three Friends Gould Not Be Con
victed Under the Law.


Washington, Jan. 4.-Although there
has been no determination to that eff
feet, the possibility of the government
prosecuting the filibuster Three
Friends, on a charge of piracy, has
been discussed, and men learned in in
ternational law have been quietly look
ing up decisions along that line.
Senator Davis of Minnesota, one of
the best authorities on international
law in the senate, says the precedents
are quite plain and that no proposition
is more settled than that to be subject
to prosecution for piracy, a vessel must
be equipped and manned for the ex-
press purpose of robbery on the high
seas. Whatever NAV have been the
mission of the Three Friends, no man,
he says, will contend that this sxas the
case. The fact that she may. if cor
Eered, have fired at the Spanish gun
boats, does not make her a pirate
either under international law or the
rulings of our own courts.
Senator White of California took
similar grounds. Mr. White stoutly
defended the Itata, similarly charged,
at the time Of the Chilean troubles.
and he cites as abundant authority the
declaration in Mr.. Cleveland $ message
of December s. 1885. with relation to
the alleged Columbian pirates.

MONEY A PUZZLE.
Senator-Elect Disappears and Sud
denly Reappears.

QSu1J oSdppSd1S.
Havana, Jan. 4.-Hon. H. D. Money,
OF Mississippi, United States senator
elect, who disappeared from the Hotel
Inglaterra on Saturday is still missing.
There is no clue to his whereabouts.
La Lucia today refers to the rumors
that are afioat regarding the disap-
pearance of Mr.. Money. Speaking of
the report that he has gone TO visit the
insurgent leaders, the pape-' says it
does not believe that he would commit
such a misdemeanor and place himself
outside the pale of the law. Such an
act would be objectionable in person
whose duty it is. to know and respect
the laws of the country he visits. If
if is a serious offense for other Ameri-
cans to visit the insurgent camps, it is
still worse for one to do so who repre-
sents his country in its parliament.
Havana, Jan. 4.-Mr. Money re-
turned to Havana this evening. All
efforts to learn from him where he had
been were fruitless, he declining to
say anything that would tend to dis
close his whereabouts since he disap-
peared. The general opinion is that he
had been within the rebels lines, seek
ing the Information he desired. but
there is no way of proving this belief.
Consul Lee is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Money has no
connection with the Cuban junta in
New York. This statement is made in
view of the fact that a report has been
circulated that Mr.. Money is an agent
of the junta, or has some connection
with that body.
General Lee adds that Mr. Money
made the trip to Cuba for pleasure,
and to obtain personal information
within lawful limits of the condition of
the country in order to be enabled to
speak with authority on the Cuban
question. Last Saturday Mr.. Money.
General Lee says, was invited to visit
the town of San Jos de Lose, some Is
miles southeast of Havana, in order
to see the country. He went there
that day and remained until today
He remained in the town during his
entire stay

M'CULLAGH'S PROPERTY.
Those Interested Are Endeavoring
to Round 1t Up.

ST. Louis, Jan. 4.-Public Admins
traitor Richardson and a few of the
legal heirs of the late j. B. McCullagh
made a partial inventory of the effects
of the deceased today. In a safety de-
post box $4,000 in money and mining
stock of the face value of 81, 600 was
found. This stock is worth but $50.
The 80 shares of Globe-Democrat stock,
worth 500, 600, were not found. His desk
in the office in the Globe-Democrat
building is full of personal papers and
there the administrator hopes to find a
clew to the securities and money he
was believed to hold when he died. By
agreement of administrators and rela-
tives there will be no public sale of
property found. Mr.. McCullagh was
one of nine brothers, moss of whose
families live in Ireland, and if no will
is found they will share in the property.

the Philadelphia man at his mercy,

rounds, Everhardt apparently let up
on his opponent. although Ziegler
landed several stiff punches, particu-
larly in the face.

RAIN IN MICHIGAN.
Fears of a Repetition of the Great
Flood Are Entertained.

Detroit, Jan. 4.-Reports from differ
ent sections of Michigan show that
much damage has been done by heavy
rains. The St. Joseph Valley road is
Inundated for several rods and trestle
works are undermined.
Niles reports that rain has fallen in
