CRUELTY 70 ANIMALS.
Rescue Of q Starved and Neglected
Team-Tortured Turkeys.


Humane Officer Payne was notified
late last night that pair Of skin-and-
bone white horses attached to a dirt
wagon had been standing for hours
in the rain at Twenty-fourth and u
streets. He went there and found the
wagon mired in the gutter and the
poor old horses shivering In the rain
and wind.
Payne got them started and drove
them to the Telegraph stable a.
Thirteenth and streets, but it took
him nearly an hour to get there, so
feeble were the horses. The team is
said to belong to one George Larsen,
who Is drunk good portion Of the
time. The animals are in a shocking
condition and look as If they were not
half fed. The probability is that when
the owner applies to Payne for his team
he will be arrested for cruelty to ami
mails.
Officer Payne arrested last night a
man named Frank Byron for the cruel
treatment of some turkeys. The fowls
had been crammed, he said, into box
far too small for them.

AMUSEMENTS.

Murray & Mack, the well-known
Irish burlesque and knockabout come
dams, appeared in "Finnigan's BALI to
very large audience at the Opera
house last night The upper section
was packed and fully a hundred could
not obtain seats. But very few seats
were vacant in dress circle or par
Quet. II unrestrained laughter and
poundless applause testify to satisfac-
ton then the audience was immensely
pleased. There are eighteen people in
the company, eight being women and
one man assumes female part. There
rs dancing and singing without respite
and the dancing is all good, furious
and much of it novel, Charles Barry
and Joe Conlan are the leaders in the
dance and seldom have we had as
good here. Murray & Mack are in
imitable in their burlesque and antics.
The chorus singing is clever. The
costumery of the women is rich and
the wardrobe very extensive. The
Primrose quintet was a striking and
very pleasing feature Of the entertain
ment, which was in reality extended,
varied and lively vaudeville, full of
ludtcrous incidents in which Murray &
Mack are leaders, especially in gro
tesque work, burlesque and satire. The
show is a lively one from start to fin
ish, with vim, snap and sparkle. wit.
humor and satire galore, catchy songs
and ludicrous scenes. There is very
liberal display of charms on the part
of the women of the company. the
leaders among them being Kittie Beck.
