HUMAN HEARTS. {"


 Human Hearts, very un- reasonable melodrama, which even a company of stars could hardly render smooth running or plausible, failed to meet with any very enthusiastic reception from a small house Wednesday night.
 We are inclined rather to cen sure the author of such an over drawn drama than the company attempting it's execution. We have tried to be charitable in the treatment of visiting attractions, for a small town cannot expect the cream, and moreover we are appreciative of the efforts of Manager Doherty to secure good shows. But to those who enjoy reading spicy ,roasts we would refer them to the Gazette's criti- cism of Human Hearts. {"

 When I had finished Bismarck took the pipe from his lips, said Nein, "---and put the pipe back again.

DARROW- BREEDER.

Mir. Andrew c. Darrow, a painter in the employ of R. H.. Aslzew, and Miss Clara Reeder, both of this city, were quietly married Wednesday evening at 8::30 o'clock at the home of the bride on Remmel avenue.
 The contracting parties have long been sWeethearts and it was during their courtship last sum- ner when lightning struck a tree in the yard, while they were seated upon the porch, and came very nearly resulting fatally to both.

JAIL DEEiT IF, ' 2
Walter EIorten, Sensacsd ta ! Hung December 18th Esca- ped With Four Other Ne
 gro Prisoners. One
 Becap5ured.

Between 5 2nd z o'clock We'd .nesday afternoon five negro pris- .oners made their escape from the Newport jail, among them Wal ter Horten, sentenced to be hung December 18th. IL is believed that outside help was secured, as the jail and cell doors had been opened by keys.
 Sheriff Randy double locked the jail door about 1::90 o'clock in the afternoon, leaving the cell keys in 9 closet of the outer office. Some one from the outside had doubtless effected entrance to the office and with keys made for that purpose unbolted the double door to the jail proper. Upon the sheriff s return at : D. n. his prisoners, had flown, but with the aid of bloodhounds he was able to trace them toward the Ghoc- taw depot, where they lost the scent.
 Nora Wallace was recaptured, but no trace has yet been found Of t3ae~-o others, though Sheriff Randy spent fhe 42iight at Hor- tens home and is usnss, every effort to capture his escapaa charges.
 They are Walter Horten and three other negroes, Lewis Price, Mark Ellis and Ike Harris, bound over for larceny,
 Horten's brother was in New port Wednesday and was seen again here next morning. He is thought to have played a part if the sentenced mans escape.

TWO LITTLE WAITS. !.
 

The Two Little Waifs, !" Lin coln J. Carter's strong melo- drama, will be on for Saturday night at Newport.
 This play is clearly one fof if not the every best of this prolific .dramatist's s productions. The story tells an uplifting and agree able tale, has g oylob quite intri- cate and involved, and is replete with stigriIlg melodramatic situa- .tions. The scenic settings and appointments are elaborate and the company the best that could be gotten together from a care fully selected number of artists. Thefeature of the production is the. awork of the two children whosare by far the cleverestju- venile actors that will be seen here this season.
 An excellent piece of work is done by the e3lady who acts the dual role of the twin sisters, one a loving, tender mother and wife and the other the hard, practical adventures. The story is one of absorbing interest, full ot power, pathos, sentiment and rich comedy and told in con- sistent and delightful style. The scenic investure is above the average and harmonize very nicely with the action of the play,
