their evidence, were well nigh fatal,

withdrawn and a ploa of guilty snbstl-
tnted. Judge blttsor then called the

dant. The prosecutor and George Schlacter
were indebted in small sums to tiuin
mrs and to other merchants named
Isaac Jacobs snd Jacob Goodman.
Osouok and s-ehlacter made up their
minds to leave the place and tiie mer
chants also resolved to get their money,
and so followed the men to this city.
The rlssiag debtors were arres'odat the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station by Summers and taken before
Alderman Hore, without a warrant, it
is alleged. While going nnder the
irch at tho stone bridge on Bridge
street, Snmmers struck Osonok, so the
latter swore. When brought before
tiie Alderman, Schlacter paid his bill;
Osonok refused to do so and was com
miited to jail.
The defense claimud that no force

derman at the prosecutor's enggestion
that he might get a receipt for his
money. The defendant also denied

case was given to the jury and a ver
dict of not guilty taken. The costs

The last case heard bv Judge fsittser

malicious mischief by Daniel Ksfferty.
The prosecutor elalmed that one night

went ontsido and found the defendant
on the porch, his hands covered with
blood. There wero nlso marks of blood
on the windows and door. The in
truder was ordered away but refused
to go, but followed the owner ot the
hones when he went for n constable.
Tho defense was that Jockel went to
the home of one of his countrymen to
talk over a contract concerning some
work, and that while there himself and
others became involved iu a fight. He
fled, and being pursued, took refnge on
the porch, where he was attacked, and

A Celebrated Case Ii Oivea Its Fint
Preeentation.
"x Celebrated Case." one of the moat
ambitious and best efforts of lho stock
coiupauy, wus given at Wonderlaud
last night for the first time.
It is a stirring drama, in which tho
staunch friends of the dramatist, love,
heroism, war and treachery, nre clever
ly interwoven, producing a drama that
is strong bnt still devoid of lurid pyro
technics, Percy Linden made a heroic charac
ter of Jeau Renaud, while as Lsiarre,
a camp follower, ftrward Count Dj
Moruey, Will D. Corbett so accurately
portrayed the villainous characters of
those worthies as to earn the enntemnt
of the audience. Qus Homer, as the
true-hearted Dennis O'Hourke, could
improve his work by declaiming less
violently.
Walter Benn. Ethel Fuller. Alien

SHEA'S Rl? VAN WIHKIE.
It Was Given Lan Niirht at the Academy
of Muelo.
To theatre-goers who know "Bin
Van Winkle" as portrayed by Joseph
Jefferson and Robert McWade It neom
ed that Thomas B. Shea was doing a
daring thing In'essaylng that character,
and there was not a little curiosity to
see how he would interpret it.
That Opportunity was given at tho
Academy of Music Inst niiihf.
Mr. Shea's "Kip Van Winkle" does
not ape that of his distinguished prede
eessors. It Is his own oonooption, but
does not do violence to the traditional
tip. In the awakening scene in the
last act nnd the return to the village,
Shea was seen at bis boat His work
