Since the days wheu O.tcar Wilde ex lilbited his shrinking knees, uncased 111 plush breeches ; since he shocked the world by his amorous anil rather in decent devotion to the tuiitlower; siuce Sir Arthur Sullivan caricatured him as Uurnthorne iu the opera "I'atience," tho world has regarded hint us a freak Now that he has put before the public a play that is remarkable for the stinging cynicism of its dialogue, he is regarded as more of n freak than ever. Liy all tne laws of precedent Oi car Wilde should not have done any thing more etait.liug than attoudiug afternoon teas aud receptions. By his first dramatic work, "Lady Win lermere't Fan," which was pio-duc-d ut the Academy of Music hist evening, the ii'sthetlc Oscar broke awav from the environments of froakdom and appeared as a dramatist and, too, one of the cleverest of his age. 1TOBY OF TIIF. PLAY. The story Oscar Wilde telli in "Lsdy Windermere s ran is about a very good young wife who discovers that hsr very good young husband is paying large sums of money to u woman who owns a rather shady reputation who is, iu reality, the handsome mother of the young wife, having deserted her hus band and child twenty years before. The large sums paid to her are the in nucent contributions of tho young hushund who, out of devotion to his wife, who believes her mother to be dead, would like to rehabilittte the wayward woman in society, When iu a moment of innocent rage and hu miliation over the prosense of the sus pected woman in her house, tho wife is preparing to tl v to the protection of a man who has long pestered her with his attentions, sho is saved from the fatal step by the aforesaid woman with thee. r. , who after twenty years of in difference suddenly experiences a pang of maternal sympathy and rescues tbe still innocent girl from ruin by claim ing tor herself an undeserved disgrace It Is in this situation that occurs th" episode of the fan. Lord Windermere hasfouul his wife's fan in tho apart ment of Lord Darlington. The woman with the reputation confronts the no bleman as they face each other after the discovery, and, announcing that she took Lady Windermere's fan by mistake wheu she was leaving that lady's home a little w'nile before, gath ered to herself all the guilt, and iu the intensity of the moment wheu all eyes are fixed upon the woman with the reputation, Lady Winder mere who has been concealed behind a curtain, takes advantage of the oppor tunity and escapes, and her honor is saved. Lady Windermere does not subsequently learn that tbe wouiau witli the reputation is her mother, as might be expected she would, but after a touching scene with her in which she expresses proper gratitude for the lady's services the night before, bids her a tender farewell aud nestles iu the arms of her husband, A RAOKNSYBD BOMANC'K. It is hard to cone ivo of a class of people who can glitter so incessantly as the people 1 Mear Wilde has put into "Lady Windermere's Fan." The in terest ceuters almost entirely in the heartless utteran:es of a group of rakes, and the sentimental interest of the story is secondary to the dialogue of those dissipated cyn ics Tho real romance is rather hackneyed, and frequently is tedious, the central situation is fa miliar, and the movement of the play at times is far from brisk. Oscar wakes up his audience wheu he troti on his roues and sits them about the stage much after the style of a minstrel per formance, with an interlocutor in the middle, whoie duty it is to draw out shafts of wit from the end men and these shafts are 9barpely pointed, it must be admitted. The performance at the Academy last evening was given the benefit of an unuiually good stage setting. The young, confiding wife, Lady Winde mere, was admirably portrayed by Miss Evelyn Campbell. Mies Virginia Harned.aH the woman with the historic past, looked the part most effectively, ami missed uo points, sustaining her self throughout with certainty, vivac ity, and at the propor times with con vincing passion.

Patrick Burke, a vonng man who re sides at Dickson City, Is the plaintiff in a trespass suit against the Dtlawar 1 and Hudson Canal company that was called for trial before Judge Archbald In court room No 1 yesterday after noon.

The plaintiff was tho lirU witness examined, He said that on July 20, lbST, between 'I and 7 o'clock in tbe morning, with several other mine Workers, ho got on the carriage to go down the shaft to the Clark vein, where they wero employed At the fourteen-foot vein, which isaboijlhalf down llie shRlt, the carriage struck fans that extend out luto the shaft for the carriage to rest on when it stops at the fourteen-foot vein. Just before they went dowu a load of meu had been lowered to the fourteen-foot vein , FANS WERE NOT llAISI li When the carnage ngtiin went to the surface, tho fans were not raised, and hh it descended to the Clark's voiu it struck the fans with great force and rebounded about fivo feet The shock threw the men violently to the 11 or of the carriage, and witnesses' right knee struck one of tho iron rails. The leg was forced backward until it touehed his back and several men fell across his breast. He was taken homo and his right knee and ankle fnun 1 to be injured nnd he had also sustained in ternal injuries. These injuries confined him to bd for four months and it was two years before he was able to resume work. He is now employod as a miner in the Richmond mine. About a year and a half atter the accident several pieceB of bone bad to be taken out of the knee, (in cross examination Mr. Burke admitted that sixteen years ago when he was a boy of 12 he hud the same leg broken ubovo tbe knee. It made bitu slightly lame, but never gave him any trouble. The contention is that the mechanism that operated th fans was not iu goud order and tho accident was the result. SAFETY 1JLOCK PIT IN.
