Then xt o iso called was Common wealth vs Walter H. Rupp. The charge was larceny, the defendant on October 7th having abstracted three dollars from a drawer in bis father's hoase. The defendant, who is l'.» years of age, pleaded guilty and in a very straightforward way told th > Court just how he happened to commit the theft, lie has been in jail since Octo ber 7th. The Distiict Attorney explained to the Court that Rupp's father, the pro secutor ill the case, had no desire to push the matter any further and that through the Distiict Attorney he beg ged that the Court would suspend sentence. The defeudant said he was sorry that lie stole the money, where upon decided to he lenient and suspended sentence. in tlie case of Commonwealth vs. Daniel Hickey, tli ■ charge being as sault and battery, a nol. pros, was al lowed. In the case of Commonwealth vs. Joseph Smith the Grand Jury ignored the bill, placing the costs upon the prosecutor, Mary Woll. Upon reconvening Tuesday after noon it was found that there were no cases ready for trial. The case ol Com monwealth vs. John Morgan, Sidney Reilly and William Deninger was be fore the Grand Jury. The District ' Attorney explained to the Court that busiuos» before the Grand Jury is very much retarded by the tardiness of wit ness s subpoenaed to appear before >hit body. He complained that among the people of tins county there seems to b ■ a failure to appreciate the im portance of being punctual when sub poenaed at court. The Court deplored ' thi> and said that if the bad showing 1 continues there will be no other way than to impose the penalty provided ' for such cases.

In this, lie said, he would be obliged to decline.

The collision caused a panic on board the Blucher, but the excitement was small compared to the reign of terror that prevailed on the night ot December it, when a hurricane arose and the 1400 steerage passengers,among whom were the Boraskies, thought the fitiip wa« about to sink. A panic pre vailed in the lower part of the ship. The steerage people fought like wild beasts to reach the deck and were only prevented from doing so by the oftlc ers, who stood at the open hatch ways and with drawn revolvers threatened to kill the tirnt man who showed his head. The panic lasted all night and only ended when the storm abated and the ship rode smoothly on the breast of the ocean. The Boraski family was taken in charge by friends, who met them at the train.

Carter, author and producer of such well known successes as "The Eleventh Hour," "The Heart of Chicago," "The Two Little Wails" and " Alaska' will be the attraction at the Opera House on Saturday evening. In tlii his latest effort Mr. Carter ha- woven a powerful love story, and one in which the dramatic interest grow steadily from the lir.-t to the last act. The stage settings are hciutitnl and the author's art i- c instantly display ed in his manner of employing roman tic surroundings for a ies of hap penings that are both strange and ab sorbing. "The Darkest Hour" is a very human play, and absolutely dis tinctive in it- plot, while it is written with that charm of style which has I already won for its author an enviable | position in the dramatic world.

Why is it that an author's characters will fly about like a tish hooked to the end of a lin< : And whence conies this Howard Stanley, the younger son of an earl? Ile lias a dissipated look, and yet Alice is infatuated with him. How can she be pure and listen for a mo nient to this noble brute? She !s -trolling beyond the limit*: >f the village. It is autumn, and in gathers goldenrod, which she encircles with sprigs of crimson leaves. Think lng only of these, she wanders into in*' forest. Stanley misses and seeks her. Suddenly a hideous painted face springs up before her. Stanley, who is now not far behind, sees it, too, aud, turning, runs like the wind. A shot, the savage falls. A simple yeoman advances with a smoking ritle. Who bad" this hero come out of the forest? lio back. My heroine will be full of gratitude. She will despise the cowardly noble and bestow her love on the lowly yeoman. Any one could shoot an enemy unconscious of his presence, but, womanlike, Alice will magnify the net Into one of heroism a heroism which even if genuine I am not trying to depict. Thus does my plan as well us my characters constantly run away with my intentions. But by this time I have no intentions. 1 uui a part of my story, too intense a part. My temples are throbbing. Alice and I are sitting on a high backed set tie. The floor is covered with w hat w - would now call rag carpet. The re.it high clock ticks in the hall.

The morn ing sun shines In at the window. A man stands at my bedside looking down at me. 1 know at once that he is a physician. 1 am In a hospital. "Am I all right, doctor?" "Of course you are. Your asking the question proves that. You've been down with a contagious disease. We fouud but one nurse who would volunteer to take your case It is her nursing that has saved you."
