While some freight cars were standing
on a sldetrack at oconee, between Columbus
and Norfolk, the brass around forty pairs
OF wheels was removed. The consequence
was that when these care we're taken and
pulled a few miles the journals were ground
down and the cars had all to be sidetracked
to wait for repairs. These brass fittings
weigh from eight to ten pounds each, so
that the steal amounted to abut $50 for the
thief. The loss to the company is consid-
erably more. The loss OF the brass, the
damage to the journals and the labor OF re-
pairing will amount to about $500.

CIulun russell, IN HON. JOln Cr12SDY.
New York takes the palm for big
ness, and THE Sleeping City, takes it
in the line of huge theatrical successes,
the scenes of which, this new melodra-
matte production, are laid in the Amer
lean metropolis. The piece has
strong plot and counterpart, is replete
with brisk action, bright fun, exciting
situations, thrilling incidents and pow
erful climaxes, and requires the SER
vices of actors and actresses of more
than ordinary ability. There are at
least three scenes that will stir audi
ences to the depths and create the Wild
cts enthusiasm. The play is sumptu-
ously mounted with esecially prepared
elaborate scenic and mechanical effects.
A number of bright secialties give add
ed enjoyment to this great play, which
will appear at the Grand Opera House
tonight opening an engagement of
half week.
Charles Klein, the author of "The
Hon. John Grigsby," has written three
or four successful plays for various ac-
tors, but nothing he has done before
has shown the same power as 1.-The
Hon. John Grigsby," the play in which
Col Smith Russell is now appearing.
Dramatic critics say that in many re-
spects it is one of the best plays that
has been produced on the American
stage in several years. Not only does
it abound in pungent and interesting
dialogue, but it is constructively strong,
and, moreover, the theme is original
1t has been said that the character of
John Grigsby will in the future be as
ISOLATED with Sol Smith Russell, just as
rip Van Wrinkle is with Joseph JET
ferson to-day. 1t gives Mr.. Russell OPP
2ortunities he never had before, and in
order that what he considers his most
ambitious effort should be adequately
STAYED he has gathered about him a
most efficient company and spared no
expense in putting the play on the
boards. Sol Smith Russell will appear
at the Opera House next Wednesday
evening, April 18th, and will be the last
attraction at that theater under the
management of Mr.. Fidelius Riester
To all lovers of the pure and un-
adulterated classic drama treat OF I'M
