COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

An advance notice says of the JEFF
fries-Sharl1ey fight pictures. to be
shown at the Crawford theater tonight:
1.-The pictures tell the complete story
from the time the gladiators entered
the ring to the very last blow in the
twenty and decisive round.
Every blow struck is seen distinctly
and every move and expression on the
faces of the vast concourse of people
who attended the fight, a part of the
audience being at all times seen.
There are 216.0 900 distinct pictures in
the roll of film which goes to make up
the completed picture. 1t requires over
two hours to unron the film. The pic
lures are said by the Chicago papers
to be clear and distinct The film does
not CRATE and blink on the eyes. A
lecturer will explain the fight by rounds,
keeping I'D a continuous talk as the
rounds are rolled off,
"a notable event" has become ste
reotyped expression in dramatic affairs,
but the appearance of the Herbert
Kelcey-Eff1e Shannon company in
Clyde F'itchs famous American play
'HThe Moth and the Flame" at the New
Crawford theater Saturday night will
undoubtedly constitute an event of
more than ordinary Importance. Her
bert Kelley and Effie Shannon, with
their famous play, have ranked among
the prominent successes of the present
days stage, and their appearance here
with the original company ana elaDO-
rate production which characterized the
New York run OF the play for 125 nights
at Daniel Frohman's New York Lyceum
theater, and for the past two years in
all the principal cities of this country,
will undoubtedly be looked forward to
with more than ordinary interest. The

THREE MURDERED.
An Awful Crime Committed In Flor
ida For RobberY's Sake.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 14.-At
o'clock Tuesday afternoon the bodies of
Mrs. Rosana Roberts, a widow, aged rs
years, her son, G. T. Roberts, a bache-
lor, aged SO, and Miss Jennie Roberts, a
daughter aged 81, were found at their
home about seven miles west of here.
The body of the old lady was discover
ed in her bed, her head split open with
an axe. The body of the son was found
half out of the bed as if he had at
tempted to rise; and a shotgun broken
half in two by the side of the bed
showed that he had attempted to defend
himself. The body of the daughter was
found under the house where she had
taken refuge. Evidences showed that
she had been followed and struck two
heavy blows with an axe. The family
was we'll to-do and highly respected.
The nearest house was one mile and
quarter from their home. The bodies
were discovered this afternoon by
neighbor who stopped to get a drink of
water and seeing no life about, made
an investigation.
Trunks and drawers were ransacked,
but what was taken has not been dis
covered as money and other valuables
were found where the robbers and muir
derers had worked. There is no trace
to the perpetrators of the crime, but
posses are ranSacking the woods in the
vicinity. The crime must have been
committed late Monday night.

BIG NAVAL BUDGET.
Bill Will Garry About
$75, 100000.

New York, Feb. IA special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
This years naval appropriation bill
will carry more money than has been
voted by congress in any regular an
nua1 appropriation bill since the civil
war, and probably will authorize ex-
penditures as great as those under the
regular appropriation and the aI1ot-
ments from the fifty million dollar ma
tional defense fund in the fiscal year
1899.
The estimates of the navy depart
ment Tor the year footed up $4,000, 600,
and the department would like to have
every cent for which it asked Con-
gress will scale down the estimates
wherever practicable, but it is expected
that when the bill becomes a law it will
carry at least So, O00, 900.
The first draft of the measure has
been prepared by a subcommittee Of
the house committee on naval affairs.
and is now under consideration by the
full committee The subcommittee did
not do anything regarding the authori-
cation of new ships or regarding the
purchase of armor for ships already au-
thorized, leaving these matters to be
considered by the full committee.
Even with these omissions the first
draft of the bill carries a total of about
S63, 0G0, COO
1t is the aim of the committee to
bring the total in the bill, including the
appropriation Tor new SHIPS ana dTInOT
down 10 100000, 600, but it is doubtful
whether this can be done.
Aside from the items under the head
of the increase of the navy, for which
the department estimated SO. 983 101, an
increase of more than $12 900. 90, the
heaviest increases are under the head
of public works, including improve
ments at navy yards and stations, new
dry docks and new buildings at the
naval academy. The departments es-
Inmates for public works footed up
nearly S16,O0O,00O, an increase of more
than IS, 600 900.
The house committee has not yet de-
cided whether all the new ships recon-
mended by Secretary Long shall be au-
thorized this year or not. In view of
the fact that little progress has been
made with the ships authorized last
year, and as the ship yards of the coun-
try are pretty well filed with work,
there is a disposition on the part of
some members of the committee not to
authorize the full programme urged by
the secretary
The most troublesome question is that

On any other issue Webb would be
for Curtis, but he states that he is Of
