 While no arrests have been made, vet there are reasons to suppose that the detectives are shadowing certain sus- poets, and that the perpetrators of one Of the most dastardly crimes ever at tempted in New Haven, will be brought to book.
 The suspects are said to have come from the direction of West river They were aided in their work by the light at the bridge going out. The deadly cart ridges were placed on banked fire, the doors of the furnace were closed. The cartridges were carefully wrapped with about 15O feet of fine copper wire and looked as if they had been carried away from the powder house of some quarry, The fact that the perpetrators ot the crime selected an early hour on sunday morning for the destruction of the bridge is thought by many to be conclusive proof that they had no in- tentton of sacrificing human life.

ENTERTAINMENTS
HyperIon Theater.

The play -'.Gabriela" which will be presented at the Hyperion theater on Friday night is, according to the New York Herald. a very strong one. Tt depicts Russian society life and is laid in St. Petersburg, the last act at the Russian embassy at Paris. Gabriela, the wife of Russian nobleman, has married according to rule and without attachment. She falls in love with a friend of her husband, who later proves himself unworthy of her affection. Aft CT a confession to her husband, Ga- briela still more unhappy, decides to leave St. Petersburg. An opportunity presents itself to her in an offer by a friend, La Serrs, to take the place of leading actress in Paris, who has died. Gabriela is refused recognition by her sister, who is the wife of the Russian ambassador. An insult inflicted upon her by her brother-in-law is reyenged by her husband, who as author of "Sappho' he imparts his impassionate love for her. She having learned to love him confesses it, but her weakened constitution does not withstand the ner- vous strain and befallen by g. sudden attack she expires in his arms.
 The dramatic effect is superb, climax following climax, holding the attention in intense suspension.
 Quoting a press notice, "In spite of the demoniacical passion Viarda's per sonation was distinguished by refine men.," we may well predict that with such a plot the presentation of Ga briela" by so powerful an artist will be a most exciting yet delightful and ar tistic entertainment.
