MAY TEST FUGITIVE LAW.
Governor Mount Honors n Reputation
for Henry Henderson.

Governor Mount yesterday honored a
requisition from Governor Stone, of Penn
sylvania, for the return of Henry Hender-
son. wanted by Philadelphia authorities on
q charge of being implicated in the theft
of $1,000 worth of diamonds. Henderson
was arrested here Sept. IA. and habeas
corpus proceedings were instituted Satur-
day to obtain his release. The legality
of his detention on suspicion was attacked.
and the case is intended TO test the legaIi-
ty of the fugitive law, which provides
tor the detention of alleged fugitives for a
certain length of time on suspicion and
pending further investigation. II is al
legged in the petition that no affidavit or
indictment stands against Henderson, and
that ne is illegally imprisoned.
The petition was filed in Judge feathers 5
court, and hearing is set for tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock. Whether an at
tempt will be made TO take Henderson out
OF the State before the hearing, IL not
known, and such an effort would test the
jurisdiction OF the court But matter
what the result of the hearing, the Of
ficers will arrest Henderson Immediately
afterward If he is freed. 1t is hoped by
attorneys and those interested I'm ltiga-
ton that the case will be allowed 20 pro-
coed TO get decision on the fugitive law.

ton Of county councilmen and yesterday

been accepted by the State chairman of
both parties final:
THE act of 1893 provides for the election

each from his respective district. 1t pro-
vides for the division of the county into
four councilmanic districts. The three
councilmen at large will be voted for by
all the voters In the county: but the coun-
cilmen representing each of the four dis
tricts will be elected by the voters In their
respective districts.
.'All OF these seven councilmen are county
officers and the vote therefor must be can
vassed by the county canvassing board
That being the case the names of the three
councilmen at large Will be upon all OF the
county ballots, and. In addition thereto
the councilmen from the districts will be
placed only upon the ballots voted I'm their
districts respectively. so that there will

that considerable labor and intelligence

and it's manner of rendition in the inter-
vening week. The bal masque scene In
the first act shows the result OF excellent
stage direction and OF assiduous rehearsal.
A few advantageous changes in costumes
have also been made in this part OF the
play. A notable feature and one deserving
OF warm commentator is the reduction
which has been brought about in length
OF waits between acts. Viewed from
the STANDPOINT OF scenic beauty ana. OF

duction Is wellnigh beyond criticism. IL
