ohueh ohhh"A sso DAA>sSS'
 Matthew Mangan, the seven-year-old son of John Mangan of 67 Fillmore street, was drowned at Camargo bridge, across Quinnipiac river, on Middletown avenue, about 63O last evening. The boy with several companions was play ing on wall under the bridge. They were doing what boys call "stumping," seeing which one dare go into the most dangerous places. Young Mangon had walked out on the wall which juts out from the abutment when his older broth- CT saw from the bridge what he was doing and called to him to come back. About that time the little fellow lost his balance and fell into the river. The tide was running in at the time and the current under the bridge was swift. Robert McKeon was among the young men on the bridge and being swim mer he jumped in to save the boy, but could not reach him until he had sunk for the last time. William J. Brady of 109 Bailey street and Walter Fahy of IA Fillmore street secured boat and grappling irons and began a search for the body. They found it about half hour after the drowning occurred about sixty feet above the bridge. Medical Examiner White was sumoned and af- ter Investigating decided that death was clearly due to accidental drowning. The body was taken in charge by Undertak- CT Sisk and taken to the Mangon home on Fillmore street The funeral will be held tomorrow forenoon. The father of the boy is laborer employed by the city

MORRISON'S ~"MEPHISTO,"

Lewis Morrison last night packed the
Grand Opera House to the doors, and
well he deserved the splendid reception
accorded him. He is the only Mephisto
in the eyes of theater-goers. He has had
many imitators, but they remain imita-
tors; they are never equals. He seems
the incarnation of his satanic majesty;
pre-eminently fitted by nature to play
the role he has for SO many years. It will
be hard to accept him in any other role,
but this is his last tour in Faust" Next
year he appears in a new play, "Freder-
lex the Great" a play founded on Incl
dents in the life of the German emperor.
Mr.. Morrison carries his usual effective
company. His daughter, Mabel Morrison.
makes an ideal Marguerite, beautiful,
graceful and the picture of youthful in
nocence. Edward Elsner as Faust was
acceptable, he is young, fairly good look
ing with a mysterious white lock orna-
menting the temple of his otherwise dark
head. But Pau Gerson as Valentine
proved the best actor after Morrison. He
woul make a good Faust. The quartette
was very good. The selections, 1.-TWO
Locks of Hair" my Mary Dear" and
Irene" were warmly encored. Miss
Selby TapeStield was an excellent Martha
and her love scenes with Mephisto
|aroused much merriment. The Others
were a satisfactory support. The scenery
was special and carried as usual by Nor
rison. The tableau at the end is beauti-
full. Mr.. Morrison was recalled after
every curtain and before the last act was
compelled to give a speech, and he
brought down the house. He related two
funny stories but was forced to close his
speech by the antics of a drunke fellow
in the orchestra who persisted in laugh
ing and talking at the top of his voice,
until silenced by the management. Mr..
Morrison remains until Sunday night.
The usual matinee Saturday..

The COLORED WASHER.

George Washington Billiard, the color
ed masher, who was arrested a few days
ago for offensive attentions to white girls,
was tried in Judge FerrelPs court yester-
day afternoon and adjudged guilty of dis
turbing the peace. Billiard took "a hours
to receive sentence, and his punishment
will be made known to him late this
afternoon.
According to the testimony Billiard
made life miserable for two young ladies,
who are employed by an uptown mercan-
tile institution. Their home is on lower
Main street, and he would watch for them
as they passed back and forth between
their place of employment and their
home. At first he would simply stare at
them; later he would smile at them in a
manner that may be fin de seicle in the
jungles of Africa, but is not the proper
thing where the color line is well defined
and better observed. Then he would lift
his hat and say How are you, sweet
hearts" and finally tried to stop one Of
the young women on the street. Then they
complained to the police.

! ever be ready to strike for the down
trodden. Referring to the Spanish
American war he said the red blood of
Irish hearts had crimsoned the white
flowers of the Philippine islands in the
fservice of the United States, and that
Ireland beloved of God, but crushed by
human tyranny, would yet be free and
would take her place in the parliament
OF nations. The address was frequently
interrupted by prolonged applause.
The scolors were then decorated with
floral Wreaths, n the procession moved
to st. Patrick's church where solemn
high mass was celebrated in the presence
of an immense throng. This was follow
ed by ~an~eloquent sermon by the Rev.
rather Callahan. The Parochial school
cadets occupied the sanctuary, and at the
conservation, when the bell was rung,
and the Sacred Host uplifted, the cadets
presented arms in salutation. Captain
Hogan served as first acolyte, Lieutenant
Dolan as second, n Lieutenant Andres
as thurifer. /
AT the conclusion of the services at st.
Patrick's church the procession reformed
and marched to st. James hospital
where a halt was made, and the institu-
ton serenaded. The line of march was
again taken up, the procession returning
to Hibernia hall, where it disbanded.
Thls afternoon an entertainment is in
progress at Hibernia hall, Centerville. It
is the ladies' portion of the celebration, an
entertainment under the auspices of the
Daughters of Grin. The programme COM
prlses several addresses, and a number
of songs dear to the heart of freshmen.

ing with three entertainments, ! which
will be attended by all the young people
in the city. One will be given at Renshaw
hall, one at Miner's Union hail., and one
at the hall of Division Nc. I, Ancient Or
der of Hibernians, C~enterville.

Under instructions from some one high

months ago, when the fate of the anti

The present move is intended for effect.
Of course, the gamblers having been
