It is tho celebrated colonial drama, "Tho Witch," and ii star Is that slncoro and syrapathio actress, Miss Marie Ilubort Frohman. Of tho production in Now York City the World says : " 'The "Witch' is a genuine drama. It is in five acts and it doos not suggest either 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' or 'Shonandoah,' a fact that I rather surprising when It is remombored that 'The Wilch' is American. Tho drama deals most interostingly with old witchcra.t days in Salom, Mass., and tells a really pathetic love story with a wealth of pic turesquo and apparently accurate coloring. Tho subject of the play is one In which wo have all felt tho pique of interest. It is ono that puts us, moreover, upon very good terms with ourselves, for it shows us that with all our littlo pot superstitions onllght' onment in two centuries has swept away a thousand degrading beliefs with tho energy of a cyclone."

Skrobuls caso was a complicated ono Somo time ago Constable Thomas Tosh went to Frackvillo to attach household goods belonging to a man who was going West before settling a bill duo Skrobul for groceries. Tosh seized tho goods at tho Frackvillo station of tho P. & B. railroad whero they had been cartod by a wagon from town. Tosh got in hot water when ho seized tho goods as tho woman who owned them flow into a passion and Btarled to pound him. After a struggle Tosh suc ceeded in placing tho woman under arrest and had her put under bail on two charges, one for interfering with an officer and ono for assault and battery. Tho woman sub sequently settled the suits and went West. Tosh brought the goods back to town and placed them In a storage houso owned by Skrobul. Tho attachment caso was to bo hoard beforo 'Squiro Williams, but Skrobul did not appear and an order releasing tho goods wero given. Constable Tosh went to the storage house, but the Skrobuls refused to let him tako the goods. Whon Tosh porsistod in his efforts Skrobul and his father assaulted him.
