The audience was kept in a roar of laughter throughout the entire performance. The play is extremely funny, and the general verdict of the people last night was that the performance was immense.

last. This frnit was placed ben. stubbornly refused to eat. During the 'past week he has been reduced in llesli thirty pounds, and his form has wasted away until he is now too weak to walk. For two days he has lam face downward upon his cot, neither eating, drinking nor speaking to any one.

Yesterday morning be staggered out toward the water bucket, but the sight seemed to daze him, and he swooned and fell heavily to the tloor. He was carried back into the cell by the attendants, who reproved him aud tried to get him to eat something. His cellmates are confident that he ia not feigning insanity, and that iin'esa something is done to iudin him to take food he will die in less than a week. He has a high fever and replies lu ntouosyllables to all questions put to him. At aujallusion to his crime a-t'j: when told that he would die if lie did not eat something, he smiled faintly and said: "Yes, I guess so." His beard has not been shaved for several weeks and his face is covered with a stubby growth.

Montgomery was a painter and Miss Kitt son the daughter of a business man. Mout guruery had been paying Miss Kittson at tentions and been received with some fovor. He lecame intensely jealous and forbade her keeping company with other young men. This she resented and refused to have anything to do with him. He met her one evening returning from church with Loug, a school teacher.

A few angry words passed and Montgomery shot her. Shs was taken home and lingered on the point of death till Monday. Montgomery appeared to be insane hen irt caught. He has been rational since, but when he heard of Miss Kittson's death he became much excited. Soon afterward he fell into his present condition.

FOB The OM kaiia Kink Taraed lata Hraatif al Opera llaaae, by Edward K. llrrr. The Park Operk House, a new enterprise creatl by Mr. Ed. Herr, situated as it is South Pine street, and easy of access, Wing within a half square of the street cars, promises to be a popular resort for those who attend dramatic performances.

The interior of the skating rink has been remodeled and transferred into a handsome and large theatre, with a seating capacity over a thousand. The stKge is 60 by 37 feet, giving ample room for tree rendition any play. The opening or front of the Stage is feet wide aud 11 feet high. The scenery consists of four sets, showing a wood, street, kitchen and a "fancy," respectively, 11 of which scenes are very pretty and give good effect. They a well the drop enrtain, are the ork of a Philadelphia acenie artist.

The enrtain is rich one, with a beautiful German scene the centre. By the electric light, with which the building will be lighted, the certain and scenery will show to great advantage. The light used will be the Edison, both for auditorium and stage use, there then being no danger of fire. The lights will be so placed and constructed that when dim light is needed all but a few of the lights can be tamed oft" and on pleasure, leaving glow lamps to supply the light necessary. There are two dressing rooins ou each side of the stage, of ample space, and ladies' rooms, go to make up the many little convenience that can be by festivals and such entertain ments when held there.

For this class of entertainments the bnildiug is admirably suited, as the floor is large, smooth and level, and the side rooins and stage can be used very nicely for various purjxmc. There is ample ventilation and means of egreas in case of fire, there being about thirty windows and doors, all of which are low. The building is surrounded with a beautiful park or lawn from which the the opera house takes its name. The park will be supplied with electric light, and swings, benched, chairs, for the ose of parties desiring them. The entrance to the park is on Pine street, leading to the theatre on Mr.

Herr's private grounds, where Keinecker avenue will be shortly opened. Altogether the Park Opera House Is a handsome one, presenting an inviting appearance, and Mr. Herr proposes to spare no pains to supply the public with plenty of amusement by getting good companies on the list for th coming and succeeding seasons. Jitst when the first company will occupy the boards Mr. Herr does not know.

Another meeting of the General and Spec ial committees on the corning centennial waa held last evening in Common Council chamber, his Honor, Mayor Noell, presiding. Secretary C. W. Myers read the min utes of the previous meeting, which were adopted. The report of the Committee on Arrange ments was called for.

Dr. Dale read a communication from a New Y'ork firm in regard to fire works, and also one from Prof. Carl Myers in regard to the balloon ascension, in winch he stated that lie thought the ascension could be mede with the city gas. He also read a communication from the general ticket agent of the Northern Central Kail way, in which he stated that he would eeial arrangements and terms to organized fire companies from Baltimore wishing to attend. Jiev.

Arther Powell, the Committee of Exercises, stated that all the appoint ments had been made, except that of the clergyman for the opening prayer and they were waiting in the hope that Dr. Loch- man would reconsider his declination. He also stated that both Hon. C. F.

Black and Judge Gibson considered it requisite to success of the exercises that the historical address and the oration should be held indoors. He suggested that the matter be attended to. It was moved aud seconded that the Committee on Exercises take charge of the matter. Rev. Arthur Powell said that they had not acted as yet on the matter of an exhibition of historical relics.

It would not do to have a partial exhibition and he wanted a thorough discussion on the matter; it was a work of some magnitude. Dr. Dale tendered the use of his new stole room on George street free of charge for the purpose. Kev. Arthur Powell said that many of the mos' precious relics have been mislaid or lost.

Geo. 8. Schmidt stated that the Laurel Fire Company had in its possession the gilded dragoon which ornamented the old state house, which he believed: could be obtained. The Mayor stated that many valuable relics were annually exhibited at onr county fair, which wou'd lie of very much inqiortauce at such an exhibition. He said that it should lie open during the centennial, under guard, as some people at sach times had an intense desire to posse things.

Secretary Myers offered the following resolution, which was adopted: That the entire committee resolve it- sell into a Committee on Historical Kelica, and that they requested to utakeinquity in their respective wards, to what relic can Ins obtained, and report the same to a meeting to be held Tuesday evening next, and the newpajer of the city and county be requested to make the same requests of the citizens, to report any thing of character to the respective commitipes. Arthur Powell suggested that siH-eial "ni lu" .1 i.i "ossesa bl- tortcal values. George S.

On a lot of dirty straw in an unfurnished cabin at Calico, a small hamlet three miles froai Harrisville, in this county, lies Abel Broom, dying from the effects of a gunshot wound at the hands of Thomas Murray, an old farmer, Beventy-nine years of age. The facts of the shooting, which have have just come to light, hough the shoot ing was done last Tuesday morning, are horrible, and the greatest excitement and indignation are manifested over the matter. Abel Broom, the dying man, has lived in the cabin in which he lies for a number of years and has a wife and live children, who occupy the one room which the hut contains. Thomas Murray came to this county a number of years ago aud cleared off a small farm in the wilderness which surrounds Calico and adjoining Broom's cabin. For some time Murray aud the other fanners in the neighborhood have been missing potatoes, corn and other track.

Last week a lot of sweet potatoes were stolen from Murray's place, ami was led to believe that Broom, who suppnrted his large family and led a shiftless life, had taken them. Last Tuesday morning, before daybreak, the old man, armed with his Bhot gun, sta- treped himaefj eornftehi adjoining his sweelTpotato In a short, time bn snw tt'bV and begin to help himself. The octogenaiLui farmer sprung from his place of concealment and pointed the gun at Broom. The latter, in terror, asked what he was going to do, to which Murray answered that he waa going to shoot him. The old man then knocked Broom down with the gun and kicked him several times.

As Broom rose he was knocked down again and was then or dered to leave the field. He crawled to the fence and in his weakened condition attempted to climb it, but as he was on the fence Murray stepped back and, throwing the gun to his shoulder, fired. Broom 'fell to the ground, with the contents of the weapon his groin and hip. The old man then deliberately turned to walk away when Broom, whose screams attracted his family in the cabin near by, called: "Tom, you've crippled me, can't you help me home?" 'If yai will wait a few miuntea," said Murray, "I'll help you to hell." By this time Broom's wife had arrived and dragged her husband to the cabin. Squire Adams, of Bass river, was imffie- diately notified, but took no action in the matter, and until yesterday afternoon Murray, was permitted to go unmolested.

Justice Adams went to the cabin on Tnes- -duy morniur nd took Broom's statement, as he was supposed to be dying, and then as he walked from the house he asked Mrs. Broom if she desired that an inquest be held ou the case. About midnight on Wednesday night a relative of the dying man drove to 1km-monted, in Atlantic county, and secured the services of Conuselor John J. Walsh, who immediately drove to Calico, and yes terday succeeded in rinding a Justice ol tha Piece at Lower Bank, who took the affidavit of tho dying niau and issued a warrant for Murray's arrest. At the bearing which took place last night lr.
