in Sykesville the latter part Of last
January by Dominic Ponunno and an
other Italian, died in Sykesville on
Thursday of last week, April 26. Sun

mortem and the body was buried in the

that Julius would not live, but he re-
covered sufficient to attend court as a
witness against his assailants, who were
convicted of assault with intent to kill,
sentenced to seven years in penitentiary

Illus got worse while at court.

A Good One,

There will be a whole lot of realism
at the Reynolds opera house Saturday,
May 5th, in the production of "In
louisiana This play is one of the
South, and has pathetic heart interest
in the stage setting and effects. The
latter are productions from photographs
OF the Bayou LaFourche in the state Of
Louisiana, and the Brazos bottoms in
Texas. The picture is startling one
in its realism. The story is one also
which has an interesting love romance
and happy ending. In fact, the whole
play is interesting and the four acts are
realistic and sensational. The company
is a powerful one. There are some neat
and strong specialties during the action
of the play. Prices 25, 35 and so cents.

Play Suited to Actor.

Such suitable combination of play
and actor is rarely brought about as is
the case of Oliver Labadte in "In
Louisiana" The greatest tribute that
can be paid to Mr.. Labadie is that he
gives the impression to the spectators
OF fulfilling every essential of the
central character of the playa play
which runs the entire gamut of human
passions and emotions, from tragedy
and tears to the higher veins of comedy
and ripping laughter, and is supported
by company of more than passing ex-
cellence. AS the scenes are in Louisi-
ana aud Texas, ample opportunity has
been given the scenic artist to indulge
his fancy in picturesque effects. Mr..
Labadie will appear in that production
at the Reynolds opera house Saturday
May 5th.

Mock Court Trial.

The mock court trial of the breach OF
promise case in Centennial hall last
Thursday evening, under the auspices
of the M. f.. Helping Hand Society, was
intensely interesting and amusing from
start to finish. The large audience was
happily entertained for almost two
hours with laughabe local hits and
vagaries. Before the breach of promise
case was tried several minor cases were
disposed of by Judge Davis. An in
dictment was presented against Will
H Bell for over-exertion. Mr.. Bells
attorney entered plea OF guilty, but
assured the court that it was the first
OITense and that it would not occur
again. A. Z. Bing was charged with
selling undressed kids. He plead guilty
and the Court sentenced him to three
months work in the tannery. w. G.
Elliott was charged with eating all the
oysters at church social, but the de-
fendant was not present and was not
sentenced. The sentence would have
been three days at macaroni factory TO
eat nothing but macarOni during the
three days.
In the breach of promiae case Mrs.
J. M. Gathers, as Wildly Perkins, and
Mrs. Fred Pifer, lady boarder, played
their parts nicely L. L. Gourley, de-
fendant, performed his part well, and
Miss Lille Lenkerd made a splendid
witness for the defense and told her
story in way that would have con-
vinced an ordinary jury, but when the
panel was made up Of Chauncey Depew,
Grover Cleveland, David Hill, Governor
Pennypacker, and men of that ilk, 1t is
little wonder that the verdict was
against the defendant, M. M. Davis
presided with dignity but he was,
evidently, under the spell of the wildly.
Dir. Murray and W. G. Smith told good
stories, but their tales went for naught.
