" RESURRECTION & DR Raj
First American Presentation of Count
Leo Tolstoi's Work-A Veritable
Horror of Realism.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Count Leo Tol.
stoi's Resurrection" dramatized by
Henry Battaile, had its first presenta-
ton in America at the Victoria Thea
ter last evening, as it did also in Lon
don. The translation into English is
by Michael Morton and the perform
ance was by a company headed by
Blanche Walsh.
The production here carried with 1t
all the details that have made the play
sensation Of Paris, where it is now
running. In particular the scene in
the women's prison is a veritable hor-
ror of realism. The play deals with
the dark side of life in a way that is
not so familiar to AmerieaA audi
ences as to Paris theatergoers. 1t
tells of young nobleman who is re-
sponsible for the first downfall of a
young woman who thereafter de-
scends the human scale until she be-
comes one of the most degraded of
creatures. Brought to trial for mis-
deed, the woman comes into the pres
ence of her betrayer as one of the
Jurors. The latter, realizing the ruin
he has wrought, determines to turn
all his efforts toward the resurrection
OF the good that has seemingly died
in the woman. In the end he succeeds
and the object of his endeavor be.
comes once more woman of correct
life and high purpose.
The leading parts were played by
Blanche Walsh and Joseph Haworth
who gave exceedingly strong portray
ais of characters full Of virility and
color.

ARRESTED In PITTSBURG.
The Great Lafayette Has Quite an
Experience There with Humane So
ciety.

clety.
A year or so ago the Great Lafay-
had an experience in Pittsburg
which created lot of interest. In
one of his acts be enters a cage with
lion attired as bride. He then
changes to lion tanner in view of
the audience. The lion is enraged
by electric shocks and is the picture
OF fury when he enters the cage.
This trick caused the Humane
Society to have him arrested for
cruelty to the animal. He had to
disclose the nature of the trick in
order to get permission TO go on with
the act. Thirty people, three horses
and lion are with this company
which is to be here shortly. All of
the big cities of the country have
witnessed bis feats which cast Kel
lar n the Shade and besides his
ability as a clever artist in his line
the owner of the company is gen
tleman This will be in pleasing
contrast to Kellar even in this di-
rection.

TRIAL SLOW.
Only Three Witnesses Examin-
ed Yesterday.
Defendant Fighting Every Inch of the
Way-Frank Ecker, Col. 4. j. Gil
more and Henry Richardson, Colored,
on the Stand.

Very few witnesses were examined
in the felony case of young Martucios
yesterday afternoon and at the pres
ent rate OF progress, the jury may
expect to board at The court house the
rest of this week If not longer. The
cross questioning of the defense has
been carried to every technicality.
But so far the cross questioning has
not injured the testimony Of the pros
ecution very much, in the estimation
of the spectators.
Col, Gilmore identified the Italian
and told an intelligent narrative of
what he had SEEN He had seen the
young man run down over the hill,
and sent the coored boy, Henry Rich
ardson, to hunt for him.
Henry was put on the stand. He
told very straight story and also
identified Martucio. Every effort was
made in the cross examination TO de-
termine whether he would sustain his
own testimony, but in the main it
was believed to be unimpeachable. The
defense, however, claim that In some
very essential points his statements
were at variance.
The record for examining witnesses
was kept up Wednesday morning,
only three were called. these were
Edward White, the father of the girl
on whom the crime was committed,
Miss Agnes White her older sister and
Frank Menear who was near the Hog
Back and came down with his brother
e. G. Menear in the wagon.
e. 9. Menear was the first called in
the afternoon. 1t was his wagon on
which the young Italian is said to
have gotten to come to town, when
he was called back by Mr.. White, ac-
cording to the evidence of Henry Rich
ards.
The judge is trying to get through
other business at every opportunity,
and is hearing chancerY cases when
ever there is an interval in the other
trial where his attention is not de-
manded To-day an injunction was
issued against Asa NJ Sterling, re-
straining him from hauling logs across
the lands of Luther j. Lazzelle in
Cass district. Sterling has saw
mill and had been crossing Lazzell's
land to get timber to his mill.
An order was issued in the chancery
case Of Robert s. Rexread, guardian,
against John W. Cobuns heirs, d.
recting the sale of SO acres of Free
port COAL and 81 acres Of Pittsburg
COAL proceeds to go to the widow and
children of John w Cobun.
There is still big crowd of specta-
tors in the court room to hear the
trial of Martucio.

TWO CENTS
ANOTHER RAILROAD
Route Being Surveyed From
Beechwood to Round Bottom.
Engineers Now at Work Relieved to
be Working fer b. 4 0.Tw0 long
Tunnels To Beat Wabash.


Another railroad has appeared on
! the map, and 1t is believed to be aB
s. O. enterprise This Company il
comprising earth and sea, hill and
dale, to outwit the Wabash road aud
prevent the Goulds from getting an
advantage in this territory.
The proposed new section OF road
starts at Beechwood and isto extend
through two high hills TO Round
Bottom on the West side of the river,
and from there. where it will go our
deponent sayeth not. Engineers are
already at work surveying for the
tunnels to penetrate the hills in the
river bend. The first tunnel starts on
the opposite side Of the river from
Beechwood, penetrates the hill, and
comes out on Flaggy Meadow Run.
The route follows an easy grade round
up near to ]. Harley Thomson's place
and there enters the hill to the north
of the stream, and emerges again at
Round Bottom. There is thus saw
ing Of four or five miles in the dis
tanee from Beechwood TO Round Bot
tbult a hiB Gdi NG DciuS dSb4ACQs II sOfn
Round Bottom TO Lock No. II it
would be easy to get road bed along
the west bank of the river for rail-
road. From Lock II TO Morgantown
the location would not be so easy.
The corps of surveyors at Beech
wood are not known, and they are
not telling anything about the work
they are carrying on, but it is beliey-
ed they are working for the B. s. O.
road to block the Wabash, and to get
access to the coal fields on the west
side of the river.
1t is to be hoped that when all the
paper railroads have been built, we
shall get one or two substantial steel
railroads more through this county
and this city. Another railroad would
do even more good here than board
