Badly Injured by Il Blow.

Last Saturday evening two ne
gro carpenters, employed in shing-
ling roof IN the outskirts OF
town, got into dispute while at
their work, resulting in Frank
Thibodaux striking his fellow
workman, Eugene Castillo, in the
top of the head with the butt OF
his shingling Ratchet. Eugene
did not seem to be much affected
by the blow, descended the ladder
from the building and walked to
the City Hall, a distance Of over
mile. At the City Hall he show
ed his wound, but was speeches..
His brains and blood were oozing
through the facture in the top of
his head. DR.. Emmer was sum
moned and the wounded man was
taken to his home. Chief of Police
Haley Carter was notified and he
stated in quest of Eugene's as
sailant. at the building, while
questioning the workmen, Frank
promptly admitted dealing the
blow, but was much surprised at
the result. He was arrested and
placed in Jail. Tuesday last the
Chief stated that Eugene had re-
covered his speech and wanted to
go out of tue house, declaring that
he felt fully capable Of doing so.
The blow was fearful one and
but few men would have survived
it and when fully restored to
health Eugene should return

ing him with such a solid and
well-fnished Uranium, otherwise

WON'T STICK.

The measley attempted of a few
selfish and wlckedly designing
men to throw mud on to the good
name and clean record Of Hon.
Henry Mccall, has, as we predic-
ted, proved an utter and blasting
failure. Henry Mccall is a warm
hearted, generous-natured, clean
and affable gentleman, and his
every act is open to. public scruti-
ny. The mud thrown at him
would not stick and has rebounded
on the constituencies schemers
who threw it. We said that the
decent men in both pa ties would
condemn and refuse to believe it..
This has freely been done, and the
latest instance comes to us from

THELMA.

On the 18th OF January the at
traction at the Vendome Opera
House will be Alden Benedict's
clever acting company in Chase's
dramatized version of Marie
Corelli's novel "Thelma." The
play is said to he we'll adapted and
to closely follow the original story :,
which, while somewhat out of the
ordinary in plot, has love for its
chief theme and is interspersed
with bits of detail and by-play
that 90 to make stagecraft so
pleasing. OF all of Miss Corelli's
novels ''Thelma' offers, possibly,
the most material for dramatiza'
ton; it is certainly strong in dra'
matte interest and power and the
play should command the undivl-
ded attention OF the audience IRON
beginning to end. The scenic
effects are said to be lavish and
surprising, the novelty of scenery
laid in northern Norway affording
an opportunity for color effect sci.
dom given to the artist. Act one
shows the Alien Fjord in midsum-
mer, with the sun still glowing
in the sky at midnight; the sec
ond act gives a view Of the famous
Falls of Njedezgorze; act third
shifts to London, England, and
act four again takes us back to the
Alien Fjord, now changed to a
scene of snow and darkness 1t
is this scene that Mr.. Benedict's
new and wonderful electric effect

natural and realistic snow storm
ever presented on any stage.
