Mrs. Robson makes a « Hardcastle, giving to the part all the vivacity that it demands, and yet never stepping beyond the boundsof maiden nataral- ness. Mr. Aubrey Boucicault has evidently in- herited his father's talent, thongh in a different line, for his Young Meriowe was an artistic piece of work. Miss Amy Busby was effective as Miss Neville and the remainder of the cast were satisfactory. Mr. Robson's Tony was, of course, the central figure in the play, and the careful study that he had bestowed the rt was manifest in bis excellent work throughout. His art has become mellowed and rounded by time ‘and one who saw his complete and finished per- formance last night could hardly recognize the man who first claimed recognition in the bur- lesque of “Biackeyed Susan,” and who sang “Capt. Crosstree is My Name.” Mr. Robson, in the revival of ith’s comedy, ie not only adding to his fame as an actor, but is do- ing a good work for the stage and the younger generations in presenting a picture of former fimes historically correct. es to. costume and manners and handsomely framed as to stage setting. Again tonight. Narioxat. TueaTex.—Evans and Hoey, two of the most successful fanmakers, made their re- pearance at the New National Theater last night in their old standby, “The Parlor Match.” By interpolating new songs, new dances and new specialties of various descriptions they have from season to season given an effect of onuine novelty toa skit that has proved itself ‘One of the best before the public. Wm. Hoey as Old Hoss has a quaintness of humor that makes all he says and does irresistible. He resents several new songs. Chas. E. Evans as r. MeCorker, a literary man, and Minnie French ae Innocent’ Kidd, are both entertaining. In the way of specialties there are medieys by the company, instrumental solos by Hoey, dancing by Miss French, the Sisters Levy in musical se- léetions and numerous other bright things. ‘There is « very good quartet with the company and its contributions —— night's perform- ance were greatly appreciated. : Avapey or Mvsic.-There was a big crowd of people at the Academy of Music last night, when Piton and Jessop’s six-act American drama, “The Power of the Press," was pro- duced. Mr. J. E. Wilson,,as Steven Carson, albeit stay, was hero right along, and Miss Waterman us his wife won gentine praise for her work. Miss Lavinia Shannon as Julia Sey- mour, ite Proma Donna, dressed the part hand- fomely. looked it prettily and played it arti ally. ‘ir. Edwin Mr. Riegel, Mr. Pattee, Mr. Kidder and Mr. Mason met their requirements well and Mr, Martin and Miss Suckett, as Mr. and Mrs. U' Callaghan, made a fine Irish couple, which caught the house. Probably the strong- est feature in the play is the scenery, by well- known artists, and it is worthy of the highest praise for its beauty and appropriatences. Another thing worthy of notice is the boom that the newspapers get, and it is a boom with a big B. One of the small anachronisms of the dramatic writers, so to speak, occurs when Steve Carson lights an electric’ burner with a match. Allaround the play is one to please, and that it docs please is amply testified to by the genuine appiause it gets. Hanew’ Buow Turater.—‘Two Jacks” is the name of a farce-comedy which opened a week's engagement at the Bijou last night un- der auspicious circumstances. ‘The play iteelf is of that rollicking, “get there” order, with just enough plot to bring out some very good ialties and keep the audience thirsting for more. And they get it, for the musical inter- ruptions are numerous and new and the danc- ing above the usual. ‘The company is com- lete in all respects and contains some well- Known and popular variety stars. ‘The ladies are numerous and quite pretty. Mr. Louis Wesley, late of the Wesley Brothers, who will be pleasantly remembered as the “‘short of it,” is in the cast and bis new venture has proved a success. The famous as Zeta is a soubrette of considerable ability and capti- the audience. Again tonight. Kenwax's Lyceum Taeaten.—Kernan's Thea- ter was packed to the doors last night. It was the opening performance of a week's engage- ment of that popular Irish comedian, Harry Kernell, who is at the head of « first-class vau- deville show. Gallagher and Griffin, those well-known exponents of Irish comedy, opened the performance with a rollicking sketch, as. sisted by Devere, whose singing ‘and daueing was greatly admired. Miss Blanche Andrews impersonated Caspar, the Yodler, and did it well. Harry Kernell was up to his usual standard of excelience and his side talk of the Irishman you meet every day provoked consid- erable laughter. Unlike most of the after- pieces, the one-act skit which closed the Rer- formance possessed considerable merit. feature of this act is the sparring of the Ali brothers, two youngsters aged respectively ten and twelve years. The three-round set-to was spirited and proved that the little fellows were icone with the use of the gloves. Again to- night. a ‘The Elks’ Lodge of Sorrow.

Owing to the fact that certain unprineipled manufacturers of flour have falsely repre- sented their product to be the Ceresbrand,it has been decided to place in each barrel or sack of Ceres flour a circulaz bearing the firm’s signa- ture, which will make the use of a similar card in counterfeit Ceres sacks or barrels forgery. Hereafter purchasers can be certain when they have opened their package as to the genuine- ness of the labels. No sacks or barrels of gen- wine Ceres flour are sold unless they bear the stamp of two gold medals on the Inbel. ‘The manufacturers of Ceres flour offer £100 in gold. for every ounce of alum or other adulterating materia! found in their product, which is claimed to be absolntely pure and to be made from carefully selected wheat. gions meal Exrenrnise.—Adams express forwarded to New k last night a number of barrels of oysters, which their manifest showed were ipped by Geo.

Lafayette Royal Arch Chapter the Hosts of = Very Enjoyable Occasion. One of the iargeat Masonic banquets given in late years in this city took place last evening in the armory of the Washington Light Infantry. Over 600 sat down to the handsomely deco- rated tables as the guests of Lafayette R. A. Chapter No. 5. The banquet was given in honor of the officers of the grand chapter, and like everything that is undertaken by this vig- orous and lively organization, all the details were in perfect keeping. It was rather a holi- day occasion for the members of the chapter, ‘as it marks the close of a year of great pros- perity. Since Mr. L. C. Wood has held the gavel the membership has grown to large pro- portions. During the year 102 candidates were exalted, which was the highest number exalted by any chapter in the country. There is lots of go about this chapter, and when Lafayette under- takes todo anything the Masons in this jurie- diction know that it is going to be done well. ‘Last evening the armory presented a bril- liant scene and the guests and their hosts beamed with satisfaction. The menu was Printed on, satin and tasted Just as well as it looked. There was music by Marine Band. and vocal selections were rendered by Schubert and Royal Arch Quartets. When the ress through the menu was sufficiently advanced Commissioner John W. Ross was introduced as the —toastmaster. Under the stimulating influence of his witty comments the various responses to toasts leamed and scintillated with eloquence and amor. Prayer was offered by Rev. Green Clay Smithand then speeches were mace as fol- ter,” Alexander Bartlett; “Our Government,” Neil Dumont, and *“the press," by J.J.Noab. ‘Then the tables were clearea away. The orchestra struck up a lively strain ad the floor was soon occupied by the dancers. The festivities of a memorable occasion were continued untila late hour. Mr. L. C. Wood and the members of the committee of arrange- ments were the recipients of numerous con- gratulations upon the success of the affair. ‘The reception committee was as follows: Jefferson B. Cralle, chairman; C. H. Bates, W. A. Boyd, M. D. Brainard, G. B. Edwards, R. A. Etty, GE. Flemming, Harvey Given, ‘H. W. Hodges, F. Hoffe, G. MI Hunt A. C. Jenkins, Weil: Klopper, Gwen Owen, ¥.

A handsome silver triangle was given to each one present as a memento of the occasion. gienenenannales WHITE'S TREATMENT. What is Said by Dr. McWilliams and Jail Officials. In reference to the treatment of White, Alex. MeWilliams, physician to the jail, has made an aftidavit. He says that during the time White has been in jailhe has given orders that he CW.) should have an extra quantity and quality of food, and believes that he received it with the exception of three meals, on the 2 and 3d in- stants; that on the 2d the deputy warden asked whether there was any reason why White should not be required to bathe as usual, and he replied that there was not and ho should be required todo so. Since White has been in jail his heelth has been in perfectly good con- dition, and he has required and received no medical treatment at affiant’s hands, and he ap- rs well and strong, with no indications of Focbleness or weakness from any cause. Dr. McWilliams further says that the chi racter of the food is good in quality and quantity and he inspects it daily, and itis of the best qual- ity and is well cooked and properly served. He says the bath tubs areof porcelain and iron, and he requires them to be scoured ont with soap and sand after using, and he inspects them himeelf. JAMES WOODWARD'S AFFIDAVIT. James Woodward, an officer, makes affidavit as to the requirement tobathe: that the facilities are good und decent, the tubs clean, supplied with hot and cold water and towels. As to the occasion of Wednesday, he says White was re- quested to bathe as usual and he objected, eay- ing that he had taken a bath in his cell on Sat- urday night previous; thet he had informed White on two or three different occasions that he must bathe and there was an opportunity after the others were through, but he declined and was reported to the deputy warden, and effiant’ was told to inform White that he would be punished if he still refused. White still refused, and for his insubordination be was given eight ounces of bread and cold water for dinner on Wednesday, the same for breakfast and dinner on Thursday, and with this exception White has received the ustial fare and meals and at the direction of the physicians extra allowance in quality and .

Dr. Want’s Verdict on Yesterday's Execution at Sing Sing. At 12290 o'clook yesterday afternoon the au- topsy on Loppy, the executed criminal, was begun by Dr. Carlos F. MeDonsld, assisted by Dr. Samuel B. Ward of Albany and Dr. Van Geissen of Brooklyn, The body was found in & well-nourished condition and capable of Proving a good test against the dynamo. The organs were found in a slightly congested con- | ington, dition, and there were several indications of an extra amount of spleen. The brain showed almost complete paralysis by the electric cur- rent. Where the electrodes were put on the tissne was slightly burned, but no very great disfigurement resulted. The face and neck were slightly blistered by the salt water acting asa conductor of the lost current. That death was instantaneous was evident in the brain and heart. Rigor mortis was very strongly devel- and the teeth were set over the . Almost the same conditions were observable as those devel inthe other executions. There was no chi ig of the flesh or burning of the internal organs. It is probable that tee y was killed just as the whletles of the neighboring factories blew for the dinner hour, when the engines were used entirely for the dynamo. This was one of the main reasons why the noon hour was selected by Warden Brown to foo ( out the execution, as sufficient vol! could not be obtained from the dynamo with the machinery running in the workshops. ‘Those witnesses who could be conversed with as they came from the prison stated that Warden Brown had fworn them on their oath not to reveal any- thing. Electrician Davis, who touched the button which turned on ‘the current, said he merely performed his work and could not tell the voltage used to Loppy. . Chaplain Edgerton was visibly affected when he came out. His face was as white as a sheet and he seemed to be completely unn As he made his way to his house opposite the war- den’s office, he was asked several questions, but he firmly refused to talk and seemed to be glad to escape from the ghastly scene which he had just witnessed. He came out of the privon im- mediately after the execution. Atl o'clock the convicts resumed work in the shops just the same as though nothing unusual nad occurred. At 3 o’cluck Drs. J. B. Ransom of Dannentort prison, and 8. B. Ward came out of the prison and drove to the depot in Warden Brown's car- riage. When the reporters asked them for i formation they shook their heads and laughe Drs. Macdonald and Landy will make an otticial report of the autopsy to the the state euperin- tendent of prisons, Gen. Austin Lathrop. At4 p.m. the body of Loppy was buried in the little prison cemetery across the road from the shops on the bluft. A few reporters only, the rear guard of th army of scribes which had beleaguered prison for two days, were still standing in front of the warden’s office in the middle of the road, being kept ata distance from the buiid- ing by the armed guard, when a truck, drawn by a brown horse and with a driver clad in the siriped prison garb, drove up from the north tide of the prison, took the ‘winding Toad to- ward the cemetery of the prison. A lame keeper, with ajingling bunch of big brass keys, preceded the improvised hearse upon which, strapped with ropes and almost covered with a horse blanket, was a rough pine box, painted a dirty red, of a very large size. It’ contained the remains of Martin D. Loppy. the wife mur- derer, who paid the penalty for his crime yes- beats at 8 minutes after noon in the electric chair. In the cemetery near the open grave four convicts, under the charge of a keeper, awaited the arrival of the cofiin. In less than two min- utes it was taken from the truck and lowered into the grave. The wet earth was hastily shoveled in, the truck drove off, the four con- Vict grave diggers were marched back to the prison and the history of s criminal was ended. Near the shanty a three-by-three-foot wooden shanty has been erected, in which an armed guard will be stationed for eight days to watch and see that no one attemps to exhume the body. Itis supposed that after the lapse of eight days the body will be entirely consumed by the quicklime thrown into the coffin, and the guard will then be withdrawn. Dr. Ward of Albany, who was one of the wit- nesses, was seen bya reporter. He said: “I, as wellas the other witnesses. am pledged to maintain the strictest secrecy regarding the execution. Iwill say. however, that in my opinion it was a success, I don't believe that Loppy felt any pain. He was calm and com- posed when he was being led to the execution room and when strapped in the death chair, I beliove that electrocution is the most auccess- ful capital punishment. It is far preferable to hanging. 1 do not see any reason why re- porters should be excluded from the death chamber during the execution. I believe that one of the earliest acts of the next legislature will be te amend that portion of the law which excludes newspaper men.” a Keal Estate Matters. J. F. Atzel has purchased of H. C.
