Sisson, Wil mington's favorite commedian, could have drawn a crowd to the opera house. He did for a fact draw a big house, and never was there a more ap preciative or hetter pleased audience. Mr. Sisson and his company of play ers are here for a week's engagement. and last night they gave their opening performance with the evtt popular comedy, "The Colonel," as the sisson played the title roll as Alfred Hummer, and in that character he is the beet Hummer we ever saw. We have seen him play it before we have seen others try to play it but none ever equalled him. When he first came on the stage he receivd an ova tion from the audience and throughout the play he and his support received the heartiest demonstrations of ap plause. Miss Torothy Reeplne took the role of "the Colonel" and gave a splendid interpretation of the part. She i a charming lady and made a fine Impres sion on the audience. Miss Esther Wal lace as Diana Dimple made a big hit She Is a very atractive young lady and Is. brimful of genius. She played her part admirably and did some excellent singing, receiving a double encore. Miss Sophie Albert, as "Rose,". Hummer's wife, was also a favorite with the au dlence.; She played the role most skill fully and many compliments were paid her. Miss Guenn Coye made a splendid impression as "Anna Griswold," and Miss Margretta Gilllon as Susan, Mr. Jackson Karlyle as "Johosophat," and Mr. Joe Keer as "Simmons," filled their roles with great Credit. Miss Galiton as accompanist and Mr. Keer as -vocal 1st greatly pleased the audience; with their song, receiving a double encore. Mr. Karlyle also made a hit with his song and. was doubly encored. The whole performance received no end of applause, and the audience was highly complimentary In its comments upon it. Tonight the bill will be "Nannette," a musical comedy, which Is Mr. Sis- son's version of "The Little Egyptlon In this play Mr. Sisson will play his famous role as "William A." The play is full of bright music, and there will be setae fine singing by the company The low prices of 10, 20 and 30 cents should pack the house. The Great Violin Virtuors Tonight Remenyi, the great Hungarian violin ist, and his company w ill give a concert at the Young Mens' Christian Associa tion auditorium tonight. The box sheet opened yesterday at Yates' book j store and a goodly number of seats were sold. Remenyi 's . sure to please all, those who do not understand "high class" mu&ic, as well as those who do, for Remenyi is a "fiddler" as well as a "violinist." That' means that he plays music that all love, as well as the pure ly artistic. His favorite American tunes are"Suwanee River"and "Dixey," and he is pretty sure to give one or both of them in his concerts. 'It is said that Remenyi recently dis covered that' Mr. Dan Emmett, the au thor of "Dixey" was living in poverty in an obscure town in Ohio. This so touched his heart that he at once set about to raise a fund for him, and started it with his own gift of $50.00. A letter from his manager yesterday, said that the company will arrive here at 12 o'clock today from ' Charfeston, where he was to play last night. He is having immense success in his tour in the south. , Death of Mrs. Mary E. Smith. The friends of Mrs. Mary E.

The trial of Ed ward Gay White, of Virginia, charged with stealing $t,UU0 from Horatio Dalton Newcomb, of Mew York, was concluded in the criminal court today. The judges reserved their decision. - The trial was commenced several weeks ago, but was postponed on account-of the indisposition or judge Marian. JUr. Newcomb, the victim, was the star wit ness today. He showed in his evidence none of the attributes of the "easy mark." which he appeared to be in his transactions with White. j The plaintiff s case was that ihe met White in the Hoffman house.

"to show the track that we are responsible Dartles." . White and the s,iwu disappeared mat night. White was arrested In Norfolk and greeted - Newcomb wlth-the expres sion: "Hello cheap." The: Judges and attorneys wanted to know what the ex Dression meant, and Newcomb replied. "He meant ' I was a good thing." The cross examination brought out the fact that Newcomb carried a revolver with which to protect his cash. The I defense was that Newcomb entered into a part nership agreement with White and he. therefore, did not steal the money. .--" - A Vessel Blown Cjron Land Lautana, Fla., February 1.

THE SCOTTISH REFORMATION A Splendid Eniertalnmeat to be Given In the Opera Boose at 8 Oclock, Next Mon day and Tuesday, Febroary 8th and 9th. Much satisfaction is expressed that the Wesftmtater League of the First Presbyterian church has secured Mrs. Monroe to deliver her lecture on "The Scottish Reformation." The entertain ment" will be given next Monday and Tuesday nights. Never was more satisfaction, and pleasure experi enced by our people than When "The German Reformation", was given here last winter by Mrs. Monroe, for the benefit of the King's Daughters. "The Scottish Reformation" is even a more beautiful entertainment than. "The German Reformation," owing o the elegant costumes of Queeeni Mary and her court. The Raleigh News and Observer of Saturday, -January 30fch saysT "Every body, from the leading character to the least Important personage to the cast, acted their parts well, and the result was one of the best enttertaln ments ever witnessed to this olty. Mrs, Monroe, the lecturer, told the tragic story of the beautiful, but erratic Queen of Scots to a clear , voice and In an Intelligent and entertaining man ner. The lecture was UJustrated by fine, large stereopticon views. These, together with the Imposing dramatic presentations, formed a most impres sive picture of the Impostaig times of Elizabeth and Queen Mary.' The oiramititee of the Westminster League lis doing everything to make the entertainment here as successful as the one at Raleigh, and Uhere can be no question of the result. - Rehearsals are being held every af ternoon. and night at Abble Chadbourn memorial hall. t SANGUILLY'S CASE. ne correspondence Regarding This American in a Cuban Prison Laid Before , the Senate A Letter RegardlngiHls Case from Lonml General Let Washington, February L The presi dent today sent to the senate the cor responoence m the Sangilly case. Mr. Olney says In his report to the presi dent: "It should be added that in view of all the circumstances In this case and especially of the long' Imprisonment al ready suffered by the accused, repre sentations have been made to the Spanish government which it is be lieved will not be without affect, that the case seems to be one In which ex ecutive clemency may - be reasonably exercised. The last communication In the voluminous corespondence, consisting or Jib numbers, is a letter from Consul ueneral Lee dated December 31st last in which he says he visited the Caban as fort and had a talk with Sanguilly, an American citizen and formerly general in the insurgent army. While a valiant officer In the previous war, he had taken on part in this rebellion. "He had," writes Mr, Lee, "so far as I am laformed, committed no overt act in that direction (the present insurrec tion) and was taken without arms in his hand, and while taking a bath in his house, February 4, 185)5. His sec- ond trial commenced December 21,1896 and ended by his being again sen-i tenced to perpetual Imprisonment. From this second sentence an appeal has hien taken which, whether suc cessful or not will greatly lengthen the time he has already passed in his cell The lawyer who defended this prisoner in his first trial now looks from the bars of a cell adjoining his In the Ca banas fort, and, I am Informed that the lawyer who managed his apeal before the Madrid court suffered In conse quence thereof, so that it may be diffi cult to procure in Madrid another per son versed in the law who will consent to manage for Sanguilly the appeal proceedings. "Only a few days after the . arrest pf Sanguilly a proclamation was issued offering amnesty to all persons in arms who would give themselves up. It seems that this ought to apply to per sons who had been arrested without arms in hand. Two other Cuban offi cers of distinction, Roman Perez Tru- Jillo and Jose Maria Timoteo Aguirre, were arrest 3d, namely, because it was thought that they would engage in war. After a short incarceration they were liberated. ' "In view of these facts and for the additional reason that Sanguilly has been In a cell twenty-three months. Is not in good health and Is suffering from old wounds, I respectfully suggest that the department bring these facts to the notice of the Madrid government and ask that Instruction be wired that he be released from prison on the con dition that he will leave the island and not return until the present war has terminated." The letter of transmittal signed by President Cleveland is entirely formal and expresses no opinion. It simply reponds to the senate request by send ing the correspondence.
