Strong influence Brought TO BeaF on
Judge Davy to Save sharkey from
Long Term in Prison for Killing
Nicholas Ftsh.
New York, Dec. 24.-Thomas J. shar-
key, the private detective, who was
convicted of manslaughter in the sec
ond degree for having killed Nicholas
A. Fish, the banker, on September q,
in front of a saloon in Thirty-fourth
street, near Eighth avenue, was this
morning sentenced to States prison for
ten years by Justice Davy in the
Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court,
in the following words:
You were indicted for manslaughter
in the first degree, and the jury found
you guilty of manslaughter in the Sec
ond degree. If I were to be guided by
outside influences, I should impose
a light sentence in your case, but I
have duty to perform to myself and
the public. 1 must say there are no
mitigating circumstances. You pursued
and intercepted Mr.. Fish after the dis
pute in the saloon, and on the side
walk with a terrible blow you took the
life of a respectable citizen, who may
have had his faults, but was not a
cross man. There was no evidence that
he had tried to strike you.
IF you had admitted the truth and
pleaded for mercy, saying that the ter
rible blow was dealt in passion, you
might be entitled to some leniency. You
denied striking the blow, and thereby
added to the crime. You had ample
time to cool off between the dispute In
the saloon and the trouble on the side
walk. have taken into consideration
the recommendation of the jury and
your previous good character. You
We're ably defended, or the verdict in
your case might have been man
slaughter in the first degree. The sem
tence of the court is that you be i'm
prisoned in States prison for ten
years."
The length of the sentence seemed
to stagger the defendant and the
lawyers in the court room, and it was
several minutes, apparently, before
Sharkey's counsel would have any
thing to say as to his future action in
the case. Then he said that this after
noon he would apply to the Supreme
Court for stay of execution.
Justice Scott, in the supreme court
later, granted an order directing the
district attorney to show cause on
Monday next before Justice Fitzgerald,
why a certificate of reasonable doubt
should not issue, pending an appeal in
the case.

''At Cripple Creek" Hal Reds best
production, will be played ct the Grand
opera house as a special Christmas at
traction tonight and Friday and Sat
urday nights with matinee daily. This
play scored an immense hit when it
was produced for the first time last
season, and its popularity bids fair to
Guido that great success My Partner"
and similar plays. AT Cripple Creek
is full of incidents, situations, charac-
tiers and dialogue peculiar to daily from
tier life. The four acts move on to an
exciting finish with the dash and brisk
ness only possibly in play dealing
with life in the areat west. The first
act shows the Temple of David" a
rendezvous of the vilest characters, to
which Martin Mason, the villain, en-
deavorS to lead Belle Gordon, a young
woman from the east. She is rescued
by Joe Mayf1eld, a rough, honest miner,
Mayfield and Mason then become open
ly avowed enemies and the succeeding
acts show them in various attitudes of
villainy and goodness. The climax of
the second act is especially effective.
1t ends with little Tattoo, Mayffeld's
ward, being thrown off a cliff by a
murderous Mexican, and being caught
by Waketah, a good Indian, who is a
faithful friend of Mayfield. In the third
act excitement is caused by a rich vein
of gold being discovered in Mayfield' S
mine He arrives at the bottom just in
time to save his friends from Mason
and the Mexican, who are just about to
blow up the mine. The fourth act I'M
tangles all complications. Villainy is
finally undone, goodness becomes tri-
umphant, and there is a satisfying con-
clusion in the marriage of Mayfeld and
Belle Gordon.
The scenery is Of a superior order and
true to the location in which the story
is written. Clever and wholesome
comedy abounds and so adrofly Is the
plot unfolded and motives blended that
laughter comes in the wake Of every
tear. The cast includes actors Of estab-
lished reputation and solid merit

ENTERTAINMENT S.
yyuertOm 'a'Meater.

Chief among the new attractions this
week is the engagement of Charles
Frohmans Empire Theater company,
headed by Charles Richman and Mar
garet Anglin, at the Hyperion tonight
in the new comedy by H. V. Esmond,
entitled 1.-THE Wilderness" Mr.. Froh-
mans company is the foremost stock
organiza ton in the country, is admir-
ably balanced in every way and enjoys
an unbounded and well deserved popu-
larity. They will present decided
dramatic novelty which has already OBJ
tanned the approval of London and
New York theatergoers and reviewers.
Mr.. Esmond, whose delightful quality
as a writer was so char1ningly shown
in his other play, when We Were
Twenty One," is credited with having
written a play on an agreeable social
topic that is entirely outside of the old
comedy lines which usually consisted of
love at first sight in the first act, I'M
pleasant complications in the second
and marriage in the third, and also
quite different fro mthe more modern
society play, which usually begins with
marriage in the first act love at first
sight in the second, and unpleasant
complications as q finale. In Mr. Es-
mond's new comedy the great moment
of the play is at the very end. He has
treated a social topic with clearness,
truth and in a thoroughly wholesome
manner. The comedy is in three acts
Besides the two principals. Mr.. Froh-
mans very excellent company includes
-
e. Y. Backus, Lawrence D'Orsay,
George Osbourne, jr., Frank Brownlee,
Ethel Hornick, Mrs Thomas Whiffen,
Mrs. w. G. Jones, Kate Pattison- Selten,
Lillian Thurgate, Grace Gallagher, Amy
Meers, Kitty Barriscale, Master Donald
Gallaher.
The annual production that Charles
Frohman has made this season was
recently presented at the Boston Mu-
scum for the first time on any stage,
and is now to be seen here at the Hy-
perion theater next Friday evening, De-
cember &c. The cast Is one of unusual
excellence, and the principals include
Edward Harrigan, Sandol Milliken, Guy
Bates Post, Arnold Daily, Grace Hen
Satterlee. Mr.. Harrigan, in this play,
returns to the legitimate stage, from
which he has been absent several years.
The engagement here is limited to but
one night, as the play is soon to be es-
tablished in New York for much Of the
season. Seats now on sale. Prices, $1.50,
81. 75c.
The entertaining comedy "All on Ac-
count of Eliza" will be presented at
the Hyperion Saturday night. This
piece has been constructed for laugh
ing purposes only, and unlike many Of
ferings with this end in view, it does
not fall short of the desired result Leo
Ditrichstein, who wrote this clever play,
had the requisite knowledge of what is
required to make people laugh. Au-
diences are tired of rough horse play
and vulgar buffoonery and they refuse

that we may have another farmer 1nsd-

gentlemen who were here last summer
year are good enough. We can guaran-
tee large attendance this time. What
says our Commissioner Of Agriculture?
Commissioner of Agriculture koiner
says he will try to hold some Institutes
this summer during spare times with the
farmers. The Commissioners is very much
pressed with the work of his department:
The farmers are writing to him from all
ever the State. His mail is heavy and
he has issued one fertilizer bulletin this
spring and has another one in press,
which will soon be sent out to the farm
ers of the State. The farmers attach
great Importance to the fertilizer analysis.
Mr.. Koiner has also issued a, second edi-
ton of his annual report, SO great has
been the demand for it. Some of the
State railroads are calling for large num-
bers OF this report to send out as adver-

work is giving very satisfactory results
