Remarkable Performance Upon Stage or Drury Lane Theatre. | London, June 12.-The all night vigil of the admirers of Miss Ellen Terry
 Lane Theatre and witness her jubilee
 matinee performance this afternoon ended in the disappointment of hun drcds who. after having twenty-four hour wait outside the pit and gailery doors. failed to obtain admittance. The doors were opened at 10:30 a. m, to l admit the wan and weary crowd of en- l thusiasts. and for few minuSes the | scene resembled foot ball scrimmage. When the overture was started Drury Lane was packed from floor to ceiling. Probably such galaxy of stage talent was never before seen in combination | as for hours occurred the boards Of Druary Lane in honor of Ellen Terry Signora Duse, Mime.

 Mme Melba and signor Caruso were down for songs, while the feature of the many sided program was the cast of the first act of Much Ado About Nothing" in which twenty-three mem-

 mencement or the SecoHu pOFtton OI lho program.
 Salvoes of plaudits greeted the entry

 being that Miss Terry was a hostess

HABEAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS.
State Appeals In The Case Of William Crockett At D0thau.

Dothan, June 12.-(SpeciaL )--The at torneys for William Crockett, the white man charged by the state with having slain Lum Henderson. a negro, ap- bate George Leslie in habeas corpus proceedings instituted In order to gain temporary freedom for their client. and won first blood, for the judge of pro- bate granted bail in the sum of $2,000. The State. through its representatives immediately baked the game of the de- fense by taking an appeal from tho that the case will go directly to tha Supreme Court of Alabama. and it means, too, that William Crockett will remain in durance vile for some time to come, as 1t Is hardly probable that the supreme tribunal will consider the matter before the first of next year. In the meantime. Crockett will be com pelled to remain in the Houston county
 Charged with killing Lum Tender. son, Crockett was captured and brought back to Dothan. Haheas cor pus proceedings obtained his liberty. but only after @ long continued effort to secure bondsmen who would be of ficially acceptable to the sheriff of this dicted him. and although the defense claimed to be anxious for an immediate trial of the case, the State asked for a continuance on the ground that ma- terial witness was absent The contin. uance was granted over the protest ot Crocketts attorneys, who then for thd second time instituted habeas corpus ruled with their contention. but the legal victory was a hollow one on ac- count of the prompt and efficacious ac- ton of the State.

SURPRISED THE sTANDARD.
Ohio County Prosecutor Files Inf0rma
 ton Against oil Men.

Findlay, O., June 12.--County Prose- cutor David sprang a complete sur prise on the Standard oil Company's attorneys here this afternoon when the grand jury made its report, not findin g the expected indictments against the Standard oil Company. The regular report was made to the court and the grand jury discharged.
 Immediately thereafter. Mir. David stepped down to the probate court room and filed two informations against the Buckeye Pipe Line and the Manhattan Oil Company, charging them with being subsidiary companies of the Standard Oil Company and or ganized for the purpose of restricting trade. The officers named in connec- tion with these companies are John O'Brien. Superintendent of the Buck eye Pipe Line Company and H T. Cuth- bert and R. F. Curtain of the Manhat- tan Oil Company. and they are charged with being conspirators in restraint of trade.
 Prosecutor David said that in this court he can get much quicker action. If the grand jury had returned indict- ments the prosecutor said the cases would have gone over to the Septem- Der term of court and possibly been postponed from that date. Now, he says. he can follow them and carry them to the higher courts, which he will do at once.

Elba, June I2.--tSpeciaI .)-Yesterday two convicts escaped from the camp of Sweat Botrhers & Co.,, near Lowery in South Coffee. They were trailed by Warden Wilson and his dogs to point near Elba, when fatigue and wet ground caused the dogs to lose the trail.
 This morning telephone message came to Elba for Warden Wilson that two other convicts at Lowery made a break for liberty this morning The guard in charge of them was carrying a pump shotgun, and the shells were damp, owing to wet weather. so that he was able to fire his gun only once That shot killed one of the would be escapes. The other Is at large. He has had a skin disease that has badly scared his head and face. The only description that your correspondent learned of the two who came near Eiba was that one of them had a lame leg, having broken 1t month ago, and that he can not wear shoe on one foot.

FIRE IN BALTIMORE.
Docks, Steamer and Barges Burned.-
 Loss $5OO,00O.

Loss $5OO,000.
 Baltimore, June 13.-Fire at an early
 hour this morning destroyed the Sa- vannah docks of the Merchants & Ma riners Transportation Company, the
 steamer Essex of that line and seven
 barges. loaded with cotton, rosin, etc
 The damage will be at least half a million dollars.
 The flames originated from some un- known cause aboard a mud scow moored against the steamship dock and the latter was very soon mass of flames, fed by infiammable freight with which the building, over 500 feet long, was stored. The fire leaped to barges freighted with cotton and rosin that were moored near by and these
 were set adrift as quickly as possible
 Some of them fioated across the harbor
 to the south side and greatly endan-
 gered lumber yards there.
 The steamer Essex of the Merchants and Marine line caught fire and soon was a mass of flames from end to end and though she. too, was set adrift, rosin laden barge alongside her made 1t impossible to save her The scene of the fire is in a part of the hdrbor back
 ed by very extensive lumber yards but
 the direction of the wind indicates
 that these will not be destroyed.
 At 3:1O a. m. the fire at the docks .s
 apparently under control but the blaz-
 ing barges that have fioated across the
 harbor are burning fiercely and the
 firemen are making heroic efforts to
 prevent the flames spreading to prop
 erty on that side of the harbor. At 3:45 a. m. the flames on both sides
 of the harbor appear to be under con trol.
 The crew of the Essex, numbering about forty men, are said to nave peer on board when the fire broke out bu If Ia impossible to ascertain whether there were any fatalities.
