sistance, they used their pistols and Ina moment
he was asorpee. The prisoner had been placed
in jail fot robbing a negro business firm in Pu—
laski, Tuesday of • over $l,OOO. He

She was subsequently arrested, and when asked

—Daly'. Wildly sensational plaj, A Flea of.Light
fling, was produced at the Arch Strvot Theatre last
night . The warmest praise that , can be bestowed
upon the entertainMent is to say that it was about the
moat satiefactosyn-; of this peculiar description—ever
given at the Arch.' The scenery is simply magnificent.
The opportunity for indulgence in the realism of
every-day life is very large, and the most has been
made of it. The scene o' the Hudson river; the
steamboat scene—and the earning of the steamboat;
the underground lodging holism', nod one or two mi
ner effects—an engine and. boiler room for instance,
hive never been equaled in thls.,eity. Another word
of praise may be awarded the performanCe.
The excellent company at the Arch did abso
lutely all that could have been done with the text
and the eituatione." The drama itself is deliriously
sensational. The pivotal , episode to ridiculous. A
limb of lightning enters* , room, winders protdisca
.otutly around. fastens on avidch il i spott-t mantel
. piece, lifts it out of a box two ea deep; tames It
Into a coal.scuttle. and incite it. 'There is something
magnificent in the enormous absurdity of such an in- -
rention. The play contains a detective, of ;-
. than there are forlorn =ideas, hard-hearted maidens,
Irish emigrants, fifieves, fops, despairing lovers,
heavy ,fathers, who shut their pocket
books with a slam; and a general
assortment of street characters, such as newsboys.
Italian musicians, orange women. etc. As a • literary
work the play is beneate contempt; bat it him start
ling situations, and as much anguish as wear.ne rve d
man can endure in one evening. Mr. Daly reached
the climax of sensationalism In this dnma, If any
hnman being can Owe a heroine in more horrible per
plexities and dangers, contrive more awful accidents,
or invent a more Impossible plot, his friends had bet
ter keep their eyes on him. He bee a brain which at
any time may whirl him into lunacy.
But the Ftash of Lightning Will attract large audi-
CLIMP, and It will prove a very proStsble holiday
piece, Even those who don't admire the play will Ibe
pleased with the scenery.
