A FINE ATTRACTION.

Sunday afternoon and that night
closed the weeks engagement Of
one of the best attractions ever
witnessed at the Electric Park-the
Lawler children-Master David
and Miss Lillian, Sundays matinee
and the closing performance that
night were largely attended and
the usual verdict Of "magnificent"
was the echo. The skating, cake
walks, jigs and dancing were
highly appreciated, especially the
work Of Master David on roller
skates, with only the toe rollers,
going several times between a
number of small flags stationed in
a row about two feet apart. The
songs of the little fellow were
highly enjoyed and he was called
back the third time and finally left
the pavilion amid tremendous ap-
plause. The serpentine dane" on
roller skates by Miss Lillian was
beautiful and she received encore
after encore. - The Alexandria
Town Talk. May 81, 1897.
The above attraction will be at
the jackson Roller Rink, from
Aug. Goth, to Sept. list. There
will be matinees on Saturday sand
Sunday evenings.

On last Wednesday night the
Jackson Roller Rink was attended
by an audience of nearly 400 people
to witness the half mile running
race and the catching of the
greasy pig. The running race
was engaged il by Messrs. Mil
lard and Edward Johnston, Gussie
Loustalot, CASTOR Romero, Vivian
Mequet and Soule Fisher, which
was easily won by Mr.. Willard
Johnston, the prize being a pair
of fine skates. The catching of the
greasy pig was next in line, ard
was engaged in by all the skaters
in the hall. This was indeed very
laughable part of the program,
and after a lively chase the pig was
finally captured by Master Eugene
Loustalot. The crowd present
seemed to be very highly pleased
with these attractions as they
were interesting and amusing.

sued statement from his cell in the
Scott county jail In answer to the
decision OF Judge Joseph Il. Robbins
/ in vacatlng the bench last Wednes-
day. Powers declares the decision OF
Judge Robbins TO be unique, in that
the court criticised him for failing TO
support the charges contained in his
affidavit with other affidavits, and
for permitting the commonwealth to
controvert his affidavit by a response
when, he says. the law clearly says
the affidavit OF an accused man can
not be controverted. He charges that
Judge Robbins went even further,
and also attempted to controvert it
himself.
Powers says he had material In
the shape OF affidavlts from four res
idents OF Georgetown to support his
charge that Judge Robbins entered
the jury room while the jury was de-
liberating on his case on the third
trial, and that he remained in the
room for an appreciable length of
time. but that these af1davlts were
not filed in court because such a
proceeding is not necessary These
