The members of the organization are all
colored, and naturally the gallery was
more than crowded by the colored breth-
rem. Over 800 tickets were sold to the top
gallery and the sale of tickets was stopped
then as the capacity of the gallery and the
limit of safety had been reached. The dark
les were packed like the proverbial sar-
dimes and they jabbered and fused during
the early part of the performance until the
interiocutor had to threaten 10 ring down
the curtain if the noise was not hushed.
The programme was fashioned after
those of the more pretentious white min
strel troupes. opening with first part and
following with an olio of specialties and
vaudeville. The work of Billy Kersands
Harry Pidler, Dick Thomas and John
Rucker in black face was good and the
singing of the female choristers was ex-
cellent.
The olio was filled up with a number of
clever specialties, the best of which were
done by Christian, the fancy skater, and
Allie Brown, the slack wire artist. Flor

peared in representations which were the
rage in the music halls a year or two

ieipality of The plaintiff.
The plaintiff was represented In the
hearing by Messrs. O'Connor, O'Byfne and
Hartridge and the defendant by City At

Bought had not been invested with proper
authority. Judge Speer decided both
points against The defendant.

ry bond given by Weaver to Walker Per-
cival, Of Singapore, for S55. The bond was
TO be released at Yokohama, but was not
paid, hence the enforcement of il here.
The yacht is in the hands OF the police.
Weaver, who says be belongs TO the At

swath in Yokohama and also here. He en-
tertained lavishly and was regarded a
man OF wealth. Unless he can furnish the
money TO settle PercivaTs claim, the yacht
and all its belongings will default TO the
Singapore man. He makes light OF the OBJ
Iigatioa and says that if he had supposed
the claim would be pressed he would have
remained in Yokohama and met il.

newspaper in which it is said $4,000 was
sunk.

announced that he was the representative
of a Boston newspaper tha, was going TO

about February 2S 1896, saying he was
going to his yacht for a cruise in Florida
waters. He was arrested in June, 1886, in
this city, on the charge OF some news
papermen he had engaged and Boston

able TO produce any cOmplainants against
him and he was discharged.

in London and talked OF starting a news

debt but the money was paid and she Was
released. The news that Weaver Was fly

along with some other news and Weaver

ing Pennsylvania, IL; Bucknell, 10. Buck
nell had a splendid running halfback in
Weymouth, but the star of her team was
Mathewson, who punted and drop kicked
better than any fullback who has played
on this field for some time. His two goals
from the field were from the q and 37yard
lines. Pennsylvania played listlessly in the
first half, but in the second braced up and
scored Sc points by pretty, fast, and con-
certed work. The final score was AZ to 10.
