The General Verdict That the Attrac Hon Is a Very Good One A Matinee tomorrbw. : A very large audience assembled at the Opera House last night to witness' the presentation of the world famous "Passion Play," by means of the Edison cineomatograph, with an expla natory lectute by Prof. Whitworth. And every one seemed to thoroughly enjoy the entertainment.' Prof. Whitworth prefaced 4the pre sentation of the pictures with a brief explanatory reference' to the origin of the "Passion Play," and then just be fore and during each of the series of pictures he ' would tell pointedly the story of the various , Biblical scenes. Probably . the most beautiful scene presented was the temptation of Christ on the mountain top by Satan. And second to this was probably the "ascension of Christ" ; For terrible sublimity the scene of the crucifixion, showing the nailing of Christ upon the cross,- the cruel drop ping of the cross into the hole dug for its erection, the death agony, followed by the darkening of the sun, the earthquake jand electric storm, was without a parallel in the whole series. It will be of interest to note that Prof. Whiteworth, in the course of his lecture jon the scenes presented, and the origin of the wonderful "Passion Play," explained that while the miracle or passion plays which took their rise in the church represen tations of the early Christian era, were in vogue in Europe in the thir teenth century, they had gradually fallen in desuetude. This was the case at Qber-Ammergau, where one of the earliest'' of these spectacles was produced, j ' Nearly 300 years ago a terrible pesti lence devastated Europe and was par ticularly fatal to the inhabitants of the little village, so much so that the peasants believing- that the cessation of the spectacle was in some measure responsible for this visitation, took a solemn oath to continue the celebra tion by commemorating the death and passion of the Lord once every ten years with a dramatic spectacle, taken part in by the entire village. Such is the origin of the "Passion Play," the last presentation of which was given at Ober-Ammergau in 1890. j At the conclusion of the perform ance last night the announcement was made that the play will be presented again to-night, and a matinee will be given to-morrow. The prices for the performance fo-night will be 25, 35 and 80 cents. BASE BALL GAME TO-MORROW 0. A. N. and A. C. L. Teams Will Cross Bats at Hilton Park at Half Past Three O'clock. . The second base ball game of the season will be played on the Hilton Park diamond to-morrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, between the two ever popular teams, Of A. N. and A. C. L. The boys are determined to give a real live game, and are anxious that a big crowd turn out to witness the contest. It will be remembered that the game played by these two teams last Friday afternoon resulted in a victory for the A. C. L. team by a good cjose score of 3 to 1. Since that time two strong players have been added to the O. A. N. team and they are making all sorts of boasts that theV will redeem them selves by a good safe score to-morrow. The teams are practicing faithfully and will no doubt make it real interest ing for lovers of the sport who patron ize them to-morrow. FIFTH WARD BAND EXCURSION. About 175 People Went to Carolina Beach On the Wilminglofl. The Wilmington carried about 175 people to Carolina beach on the excur sion by the Fifth Ward Band. The boat left the Market street wharf for the pier at 7:30 o'clock and arrived here on the return trip at about 12:30 o'clock this morning. The band fur nished good music on the boat during the trip down the river and when the excursionists reached the Beach danc ing began on the public pavilion and was continued throughout the even- mg. - . - The band netted a very satisfactory profit from the excursion.

Soon after the murderous assault upon the inoffensive old man was discovered Constable Sheehan and Deputy Sheriffs Flynn and Terry went to work on the case, and as a result three negroes Jim Veney, Son Jones and Jno. ,H. Hill are now in jail charged with implication in the shocking crime which sent the old man- to his grave. ' . .' These gentlemen have been very cautious in : making the arrests and are very reticent in the matter of dis closing just how much evidence they have procured against the negroes. The negrqestwill be given an oppor tunity this morning of coming be fore the Coroner's jury and making a statement,, and it is thought that evidence will develop that will fix con clusively the crime on the guilty party or parties. j ", Besides these, it is said that other witnesses have been summoned, who will shed some light on the murder. .
