AT DAVIS THEATRE. On Trial. the melodrama which by reason of its unique arrangemenf made one of the impressions of the season in New York, was produced at the Davis theatre on Monday evening before a very large audience who made manifest their appreciation by hearty outbursts of applause. The original- ity of the meiodrama consists in the relating of a murder trial interrupted at striking points in the testimony in order that the incidents connected with the murder could be enacted. The changes were accomplished in dark- ness and in silence with remarkable rapidity. Westcott Clarke played the Dead Man and Charles Darrah, the de- fendant, charged with murder. Florence Mcore, as the daughter of the defendant, played her part with a con- vincing suggestion of real childhood and Pauline Moore took the part of the defendant's wife whose wrongs of thirteen years previous were respon- sible for the murder that dragged her husband into court as a criminal fac- ing a death penalty. The faces and attitudes of "the judge, the attorneys and the attendants were startlingly realistic the whole vividly portraying a genuine court scene.

While on his way back from supper Monday evening, Charles H._ Culver, driver for Fire Chief Howard L. Stan- ton, saw smoke coming from the top floor of the house at No. 457 Main street, East Bide, occupied by Mrs. Minnie Clarkson, and wpon investiga- tion found that a room in the attic wash ablaze. He turned in an alarm from box 6§ at a few minutes before 6 o'clock. The people in the house knew nothing of the fire until the fire- men discovered it. The department did good work with chemical, using no water and keeping the fire to the attic. Over 65 gallons of chemical were used, It is believed that the fire was start- ed by a match which was probably laid on a bureau after it had been used to light a lamp by a boy, who left the room without noticing that the match had started a fire.
