| An up-to-date and very pleasing farce
comedy entitled "rhe Irish Alderman, -
was presented to a good sized audience
last night and judging by the applause
all present were highly entertained. The
piece was in the hands of people who
knew enough to extract all the fun pos
! sible from the really witty lines The
play is of the farce comedy type, and
depicts the antics of an Irish alderman.
and his very eccentric mother in-law.
P. J. Sullivan does the former, and
Charles r. Mccarthy is Mrs. Casey, the
mother-in law. Mr.. Sullivan as Nc
Sweeney is first rate Irish comedian,
and laugh-maker Of the first water,
while McCarthy's scolding, fault-finding
mother-in-law act is extremely we'll
done. The fun of the play is the futile
attempt Of McSweeney, the alderman,
to extricate himself from numerous lies
he had told, by wading in deeper and
telling bigger ones than ever. There
are many funny situations and taken
altogether it is a very pleasing piece.
Miss Josie Sisson made a very pleasing
Casino girl. Miss Laura Stone and Miss
Maude Mccarthy were excellent in
their respective roles. Miss Ethel
Forbes was excellent as the alderman S
wife. The male roles We're all in COM
petent hands. Among those worthy of
notice were Thomas Tempest Thomas
Ripley and Joseph Mitchell. The piece
will be repeated this afternoon, matinee
at 2, and in the evening. And judging
by the large sale of seats there will be
a large audience at both perform
ancea.

Aldermen ana CounciImen VIII Meet
Tonight.

TO-night.
Mayor Driscoll has called special
meetings Of the councilmen and alder
men to be held this evening. The spe-
cial counclmanic meeting was called in
pursuance to a petition signed by twen-
ty-two councilmen and in which the
reason assigned for requesting the call
ing of special meeting was to- recon
slider the action taken by the board at
its last meeting on the estimates. The
petition mentions the fire and police de-
partments as especially requiring pro-
vision in addition to what was allowed
by the board of finance. Mayor Dris-
coll received this petition late yesterday
afternoon and heard that a petition was
being circulated among the aldermen
for a special meeting for their board.
He therefore issued calls for special
meetings of both boards, as he was 60
ing out of the city last night and would
not be here to issue the call for the al
dermen in case their petition was re-
ceived this morning.
The idea in having both boards meet
Is 10 secure concurrent dCllOH OH dlly
changes that may be made in the es-
Inmates. The aldermen have already
adopted the committee report recon-
mending numerous changes, while the
councilmen have voted to adopt the
finance boards report entire. An at
tempt will be made tonight to have
the councilmen vote for changes in the
police and fire departments estimates
II this attempt is successful it will be
necessary to secure concurrent action
by the aldermen in order to have the
changes stand. There seems to be but
little probability of those working to
have the estimates changed being able
to get two-thrds vote in the board of
councilmen.

PAY OF NEW HAVEN employees.
No Strike Likely-The Policy of Equal
iZation

iZation.
New Haven railroad officers say that
they have no official knowledge Of de-
smands by conductors and trainmen for
overtime pay or reduction of hours.
Overtime pay was recently granted on
the Berkshire and Northampton divi-
sion, and as the past policy Of this
company has been to equallze pay on
the whole system, there will probably
be certain advances to equalize any dis
PARTIES. So far RS known there has
been no threat Of a strike, direct or i'm
Piled and, as stated yesterday, no strike
is likely to occur.
The question of overtime has recently
assumed some prominence on account of
the increase of freight traffic.

TIE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
GEN. ROBERTS AND STAFF no SAIL

To-morrow-No Reelection ON General
BulIer--SensatioaaI stock Exchange
Stories Denied Beers Active North OF
Modder River.
London, Dec 1S.-Regarding the APP
pointment of Baron Roberts of Kanda-
har and Waterford as commander in
chief in South Africa, with Lord Kitch-
encr OF Ehartum as chief staff, a
seJal-off1cial communication says: 1.-THE
disposition to regard the change as a
reflection on General Butler is entirely
erroneous. AS the forces engaged in
South Africa increase, officers of higher
rank are, naturally, appointed to the
supreme command" The communica-
ton instances the successive steps from
General Symons to Generals White and
Butler, and now to Field Marshal Lord
Roberts.
In spite of the plausibility Of the ar
gument, everyone recognizes that it is
not the whole truth. The prodigious
exertion which the government consid-
ers was necessary indicates that Lord
treme gravity of the situation. Proba-
bly, the minister remembered the peril,
which the public seem to have forgot
ten, of a possible rising of the Kaffirs.
Unpleasant rumors of Kaffir restless
ness are already current Such an out
break would be infinitely more serious
than rebellion OF the Dutch of Cape
Colony.
Baron Roberts and his staff will sail
for South Africa on the Dunotter Castle
on Saturday. There has been a nota-
BILE rush of volunteers all day to offer
their services for the war in South At
RIGA. Several colonels have placed their
regiments at the disposal of the war Of
flee. About 800 artillery volunteers Of
fered their services at Edinburgh be-
fore noon.
A brief independent account of the
Colenso fight adds nothing to the off,
cial account, except that the fighting
lasted eight hours, and that the Brit
ish retirement was completed in good
order.
A dispatch from the Modder River
dated Saturday, December 16, says that
the Beers have blown up the railroad
culverts two miles north of General
Lord Methuen's camp.
1t is regarded as curious coincidence
that Lord Roberts was appointed COM
mander-in chief in South Africa after
the British defeat at Majuba Hill. He
found peace instead of war when he ar
rived at his post, however.

FORMER, INCoNSoLABLE.
Gonzalo de Rivas Was Yesterday
Married to the Sister-in-Law
of Attorney Joseph T.
Cognet.

There was weeping and wailing in the
camp Of the Filipinos last night when IL
became known that their manager, Cor
Zalo de Rivas, had abandoned them and
taken unto himself a wife not OF their
race. Olivia Muyot, the slack-wire per-
former, who claimed she had been prac-
tically De Rivas wife for the past four
years, was inconsolable.'
Yesterday a license was procured from
Cupid Danforth for the marriage Of
GonZalo de Rlvas, 25 years of age. and
Elisabeth Amelie Noemie Amiot, % years
OF age. The lady is the sister-in-law Of

Filipino troupe Of acrobats was present
Cognet was recently arrested at the in
stance or DIVA Muyot on the charge Of
assault with deadly weapon. She had
been living at De Rivas' residence, Birch
avenue, with her sister, and Coghet vas
accused of driving her out of the house
at the point OF a revolver. The reason.
she alleged, was because Cognet wanted
TO get her away from the City as De
Rivas owed her $i00 in cash. and had also
obtained from her $500 worth of jewelry.
Cognet wanted De Rivas married to mis-
sister-in Flaw, as De Rivas had sent TO
Spain for $1,000 to pay off O.iva's claim,
and Cognet did not want her to get the
money.
The case against Cognet Is still pending
in Judge Mogan's court. Detectives Fitz-
gerald and Graham who were detailed on
the case, wanted De Rivas arrested for
felony embezZlement, but after Consulta-
ton with Oliva's attorney, Archie Camp

WILL SING ON
WEDDING TRIP
Miss ShipIey and l.. A. Lar
sen Combine Business
With Pleasure.

The music loving people Of the city, and
the State as well, will be surprised to
learn Of the marriage OF two favorite mu-
sicians. 1t was generally known for many
months that l.. A. Larsen OF the Knicker-
booker Quartet and Miss Nellie Shipley,
the gifted cornet player, were engaged but
no date had been set for the happy event
to take place. The quartet recently made
an arrangement TO tour the State with
the hnickerbocker concert company, and
Miss Shipley's name appeared as one of
the attractions on the bills. Three days
ago Mr.. Larsen had bright thought and
that was that the tour of California would
be Just the thing for a bridal trip, and he
communicated his thought to the lady. OF
course such move would be little sud-
den, out the lady was equal to the occa-
sion ana gave her consent.
II took just two days 10 make the nee
essary arrangements, and forty-eight
hours after the proposition was made the
young people were made man and wife.
Inc ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Mr. Lion In ST. Stephens Church, on Full
ton street. Wednesday evening, and only a
few immediate friends and relatives of the
contracting parties were present. The
quartet was there and sang several appro-
PIRATE pieces, NJ. McCurrie taking the sec
ond bass in the stead of the regular song
ster, who was engaged in getting married.
PROFESSOR Lucy of the company mentioned
presided at the organ. Thus passed from
batchelordom the last member of the we'll
known quartet. The newly welded couple
and company will start on their wedding
trip tomorrow.

BOYS FIGHT A DUEL
WITH P0CKETKNIVES
ONE ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT
WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.
Judge Conlan Dismissed the Case and
Remarked It Was Not as Bad
as the Ordinary French
Duel.

The details OF a duel with pocket knives
between two boys afforded amusement 70
the people in Judge Conlan's courtroom
yesterday morning. when the case of VIII
lie fenton, charged with assault with a
deadly weapon, was called.
Fenton and some other boys were on
East Park street October 26. and JobD
Murphy started to whittle a stick with
his knife. Fenton remarked that he had
a better knife than Murphy, which Muir
ply denied. Then there was trouble
IN tell you what I'll do said Fenton
IN fight you duel with knives to show
you that my knife is better than yours -
Murphy did not like the Job bur PAT
Cannon offered to take his place and Muir
ply handed him the knife. As soon as
Fenton squared of Cannon got 'coId
feet and declined the duel Murphy
plucked up courage, and grabbing the
knife from Cannon advanced TO the at
tack He made a pass at Fenton and
scratched Fenton's hand. Then Fenton
made a jab at Murphy and the point OF
the knife entered Murphys left shoulder.
That ended the duel. Murphy was in
court yesterday with his arm in a sling.
The Judge after hearing all the evidence
said: 1T was an outrage TO arrest this
boy on such a charge. 1t was a piece OF
harmless amusement among the boys and
was not even AS bad as the ordinary
French duel. The case is dismissed"
