Collier's idyllic four-act drama i'Stone wall" by the Langdon Dramatic Com pany at the Opera House last night was a great success, and if the luture works of this talented and : brilliant young author meet with the same hearty recep tion and unstinted - applause ; as that given bis initial one at bis owji home, it can be safely predicted that he has a wonderful career before him.' ' - " At times" the audience simply went wild, and Mr. Collier was made the lion' of the occasion.'- After the first act his friends and admirers called for him' so vociferously and continuously that he had to come before the curtain; but he merely acknowledged the-compliment with a modest and graceful bow. After the second act, however, the calls for Mr. Collier were so persistent that he re sponded in bis usual felicitous and happy "'style, making- a little - speech, manning me audience tor their warm and cordial appreciation of his efforts. Mr. Collier is certainly to begcGngrat nlated npon such a successful rendition of one of his plays in the South. The members of the troupe also de serve considerable praise for the way in which they rendered, their. parts;..the piece being compaiatively new to them,, as they have only had one weeks for preparation.

The animal was struggling and Mr. VonGlahn, thinking that its legs were entangled with something on the ground, called lor assistance, and a street car conductor and Mr. Jordan Branch who were near, came up to assist Mr. Von Glahn in bis predicament. .They -attempted, to aid the horse in regaining its footing, but when they touched the ani mal they were severely shocked. 4 The - horse, left to itself, finally regained its feet. Upon examination it was found that , the trolley wire which' workmen were engaged in repairing, had come in contact with the horse. -The animal, however, was apparently uninjured be yond slight burns on its legs and shoul ders.

A telegram from St. Louis to the Wasbineton.W, dated April 9th; which that paper heads most appropriately "Setback for Sound Money." says: 1 "Asa result of to-day's Democratic primaries the sound money men elected solid . delegations in three wards. In three other wards delegates were elected of both persuasions, while the remainder of the twenty-eight wards went solid for free silver." . This retfult.will be received with agree able surprise by the friends of free silver, and with blank astonishment . by the ad vocates of the gold standard;' It has been well known that the State of Mis souri outside the great city of St. Louis was strongly for the free coinage of sil ver; but it may be doubted if such a re sult as that in St. Louis was expected by either , side. When the advocates of so-called - "sound-money" can carry solidly only three wards out of twenty eight ; while, the . opposition : carried twenty-two) in a city having a popula tion of nearly half a million they may well look for the adoption of a free coin age platform and the nomination of a free coinage ticket . bj the . National Democratic x Convention. The news from St. Louis wilt give new strength and energy to the free silver movement inside the Democratic party. "The Post also prints the following eu- mraglng news from Kansas City, Mis souri: " - - -- Kansas City, Mo. April 9.
