sEIAKsPERIAN RECITAL.


Marshall Darrach. the leading Shaks-
pere reader, will give recital in Me
mortal Hall on the evening of Nov Is
under the auspices Of the College Club
Mr.. Darrach will read-of recite, rather
for he does not so much as refer to a
book upon the platform Twelfth
night, and as a considerable subscrip-
ton list had been obtained before the
club assumed any responsibility, there
is every prospect that the recital will
be the delightful event that Mr.. Oar
rach's Shakspere recitals have been in
New York. Hartford and New Haven.
Says the New York Mail and Elk
press: Mr.. Darrach is q. young and
earnest artist, and his work showed
high appreciation and keen understand
ing of his subject. He recited entirely
from memory, and obtained remarka-
bly, good contrasts of tone and manner
between the different characters,
though he never forgot that he was on
the platform and not on the theatrical
stage. His voice is of great range and
abundant power, and he used 1t well.
Mr.. Darrach showed judgment in the
entire avoidance of anything like rant
ing, his performance being dignified,
consistent and we'll balanced. His stage
presence and bearing are much in his
favor
Tickets are now on sale at the store

HOWE. THE TRUcKMAN.
He is Arragned in Central District Court

stedman w. Howe, the truckman,
was arraigned in the central district
court yesterday morning on complaint
of officer Porter of station 1, charged
with assault and battery. The alleged
assault took place some time ago when
Porter was riding his bicycle on Com

He was run down by a truck team
driven by Howe, who, it was claimed,
was under the influence of liquor, was
driving at an unlawful rate of speed
and was on the wrong side of the road.
Porter was thrown from his wheel and
the bicycle badly damaged.
Howe claimed that he was perfectly
sober, and was on the right side of the
street. He also denied that he was driv-
ing fast. He also stated that the street
was wet and slippery at the point
where the officer fell and that the con-
dition of the street was accountable
for the accident
Howe further claimed that Porter
tried to have him pay IS for the damage
to his wheel, threatening to make it hot
for him and have his license revoked if
he did not comply.
Witnesses We're introduced on both
sides, but the weight of evidence
seemed in favor of the plaintiff, and
Howe was ordered to pay fine of so.
He appealed and was held for appear
anoe in the superior court.
Charles Morgan Jr., was charged
with assaulting William H. Daley. The
evidence went to show that the princi-
pals INDUCED in a fstic encounter as
the result Of an argument, and Morgan
was arrested. He was ordered to pay a
fine of S.
The drunk cases were disposed of as
follows: William Carpenter and Elmer
Brown, house of correction, four

PECULIAR FIRE,
One of the New Burners Being Introduced
in the City Causes Trouble.


Engine 5 was called on a still alarm
at 715 O'Clock Thursday night to ex-
tinguish peculiar fire at the residence
Of Winfield Scott. 8 Lake street. One of
the new burners which are being intro
duced in this city was the cause.
The burner in question is one that
Is placed inside the fire box of an or
binary cook stove or range, and fed by
a can of kerosene placed at some dis
lance from the stove The heat pro
duced is intense, and among other
benefits claimed for the burner there is
no dirt or ashes.
All that is necessary when you are
done using the fire is to close a, valve
shutting off the supply of kerosene.
This was done as usual, but the valve
was not closed completely, allowing the
oil to run out and down into the ash
pan When the fire was lighted again
it took but a few minutes for the oil to
become heated and ignite, causing a
merry blaze.
Occupants of the house tried to extin-
guish it with chemicals, but without
avail. The firemen finally succeeded
in smothering the flame with few
shoVels full of sand
