ONDON, Dec. 22.—Forbes Robert- son, the actor-manager, and Miss Gertrude Ellioit, sister of Maxine Ellott, were married this after- noon at All Souls Church, South- ampstead. The ceremony was most quiet. There were no bridesmaids, but the bride was supported by Mrs. Madeline Reilly, the playwright. Norman Forbes was the best man. Only fifteen persons were present. The church was artistical- ly decorated. W . 22.—A suit in- al millions of dollars, the | value of the telegraph lines along the route of the Great Northern road from St. Paul to the Pacific coast, was decided Judge Lochren in the Unitcd trict Court in favor of the de the Western Union Telegraph Its tmportance, however, was | not alone in the amount of money in- volved, for it was the general understand- | Ing that sho the rallway company have | | won, all great railway systems of the | | country would, = irations of thelr | contracts with the ern Union * graph Company, hav r- | ship of the telégraph s along their of ways, and either have operated independently or eise formed a con- | fon which would have been a strong competitor in the telegraphic fleld. | The suit was brought by the St. Paul, { Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway Com. | | pany_(now the Great Northern) against | the Western Union Telegraph Company Northwestern Telegraph Co; pany, whose lines are now controlled by | | the Western Union Company. In 1879 the | Northwestern Company bulit a telegraph | line along the right of way of the plain- tiff road, and in 1582, 1537 miles of line had and the ESTERN UNION WINS SUIT | INVOLVING SEVERAL MILLIONS Victory for the Plaintiff Would Also Have Precipitated Endless Litigation. Northwestern Company sold out to the Western Union, the $1.800,000, together with a yearly rental of $150,000 for a term of ninety-nine years, Contracts had been entered into between the railway company and the telegraph company in 1878 and again in 1882 which, among other thing: company was to supply . poles, etc,, and the raflway company to furnish trans- portation and izbor for the construc- and the railway company the operators. The case turns upon the construction of these con- tracts. The plaintiff insisted that the defendant had no ownership in the tele- , except an interest as a joint owner, and asked that the defendant be obliged to accept the value thereof and relinquish the lines to the Great North- ern Company. On the other hand, the telegraph com- pany claimed to have a clear and unmis- takable title to the property In question, through the contracts it had adquired by reason of its absorption of the North- western Company. The suit has been pending since 1897, The judge held that the rights of both parties were the same at the expiration | of the contracts as they were during the operation of the contracts. The court al- been constructed. The same year the!lowed no costs in the case for either side.

RIS S5 The new Central Theater was formally | | opened last evening In a production of ! David Belasco's stirring war drama, "“The | Heart of Maryland.”” Messrs, Belasco and | Thall are to be congratulated, for the Cer tral is one of the coziest and best a ranged amusement houses in the city. | The doors of the theater were thrown open shortly after 7 o'clock, in order to accommodate those who desired to take, in the beauties of the new theater before’ the verformance began. The main en- | trance to the Central is not vet completed, but when finished will embrace an elabor- | ate foyer, with marble steps and hand- | some mirrors on each side. On entering | the theater one is at once struck by the pleasing, comfortable appearance of the interior.” On the ground floor the whole space is occupied by orchestral seats, with the exception of a broad promenade walk twelve leet or more wide. The. second floor is devoted to a parquet circle. There are twelve proscenium boxes, handsomely draped and curtained. The interior of the theater is decorated in cream color and the ceilings are frescoed with a bold ¢ pid design. Tre stage is one of the larg- est in this city and is 53 by 9 feet. The | dressing-rooms are large, neatly furnished | and, last but not least, well ventilated, | which is a rare thing in our local thea- ters. The theater has a seating capacity of 2000, but the architect of the building took | special pains in preparing his plans to In- | sure patrons a good view of the stage from any part of the house. On each floor there are numerous exits, with iflluminated signs over them, and in case of an alarm of fire the house could be emptied in an incredibly short time. Last evening the house was taxed to its utmost capacity and the performance passed off without a hitch. RERRRERRRRRE R RERRERRERRER RRRRIRRERERREERRYRRINRR R R BRRERRRRRRR ERRRRRRRRRRY ¥ RN RRRR RS The large cast necessary for the pro- | duction of the tig military melodrama ex- | | hibited most of the members of the ad- | mirable stock company which the new | theater has gathered together, and which | includes some old favorites and many | new faces. Among the former are How- | ard Hall, late leading man of the cazar Theater; Clarence T. Arper, | ight of-the Alcazar; Ernest Howeil, who | has done good work there also; Stanley Ross and George Nichols. Margaret Mar- shall is an old Morosco favorite. The other ladies in the cast, including the leading lady. Miss Effle Darling, are new to us, and Miron Leffingwell, an important mem- ber of the company, and also stage d:rec- tor, is another importation. ““The Heart of Maryland” was well put on, admirably staged, and surprisingly well acted. The first scene ‘was subject to the interruptions of a crowd which had | not learned its way about, but the pe formance went with remarkable smoot The audience was intimately appre- ve and sympathetic, in the good, old, n-the-family fashion, and in the bel: scene gave curtain call after curtain fry call to the actors who had won its favor. Miss Effie Darling, who is an actress much above the commen caliber of the st, Inevitably suggests e leading role, She has voice, the little tricks, almost even the | Titlan locks of her predecessor, whose three weeks at the Baldwin Theater in | the role is still remembered. Miss Darling has much emotlonal power, a graceful presence, a good voice, and has already proved herself a valuable member of the new company. Of Howard Hall it is un- necessary to say more than that his role as the melodramatic hero, Colonel Alan Kendrick, suits him admirably. Clarence | T. Arper has a good opportunity as the iSnulhern General, Hugh Kendrick, and is | most successful ' in’ its interpretation. Miron Leflingweil received an ovation for his good work as the spy, Colonel Thorp, and fairly reveled in the unctuous villainy of the part. Miss Marshall, Miss Bartlett and Miss Waldrop were well heard in their respect- ive parts, and Charles Arthur, Louis Bel- | mour, William Lee Greenleaf, Stanley Ross, Ernest Howell, Frank Opperman, | Georze Nichols, Jack Morris and the rest of the large cast all filled acceptably their several roles. The play was well staged and cos- | tumed, and if the initial high level of the performance is maintained the new thea- ter should be a distinct success. The acoustics seem to be all that can be de- sired, from any point in the large house, which is pretty, comfortable and well ventilated. LR D The Alhambra. After being closed for flve nights the Alhambra Theater reopened iast evening with Broadhurst's ‘“‘gleeful plenitude,” “Why Smith Left Home.” The theater was well filled and the audience bad no reasons for regret. Although the com- pany presenting the play s not as strong s the one seen here last season in the same work, it is certainly one worthy of support and should draw large houses for the entire engagement. Douglas Flint, Bu- enc Redding, Gus Mortimer, Frederick oberts and Frank Craven portray the mele characters with finish, while Blanche Everson, Nellie Maskell, Bessie Bruns, Eleancr La Salle, Ella Aubey and Lizzle May Ulmer take, good care in playing (he female roles. he entire performance shows careful training on the part of the players. 1506 Market Street.

Elizabeth Lung. an attractive young woman, who sald she was the wife of a naval officer, told a story. of having been drugged and | robbed in a Seventh-avenue Raines' law | hotel, which raised deubts as to its accu-| racy in the mind of Magistrate Zeller to-| day in the Jefferson Market Police Court.

Her fur| boa and cape given her by her husband, were gone, and also. William Courtney, an owner of sev- | eral cabs, was accused by Mrs. Lung of | having drugged and robbed her. Mr. Ccurtney produced bankhooks in court which showed that he had more than $7000 in different savings institutions of this city.- He sald that he had neyer seen Mrs, Lung until her appearance in court, and deried ever having drunk with her. As Mrs. Lung gave several conflicting addresses, at all of which she was un- known, Magistrate Zeller dismissed her charge against Mr. Courtney. Dispatches from San Francisco in July, 1899, stated that Surgeon George A.
