The Grand Opera-honso was crowded last Bight, the attraction being Iloyt's "A Mid night Bell," the best piece of work that has come from that prolific writer of f un making sketches. The company presenting it is the same as last year, and each one Bets all' there is out of his part, and the performance was, in every respect, an ad mirable one. The author disarms criticism by the droll preface to the programme, that this play is a legitimate comedy be cause it is in f onr acts, while farce-comedies are always In three. It has all the bright Bess of tbe best farce-comedy, and there is not a dull spot in it. The clergyman, the deacon, the village doctor, the schoolma'am, the old maid, tbe soprano of the choir, and, indeed, all the rest, are exceedingly humor ous. The audience was kept in a con tinuous succession of smiles, breaking at times into the most uproarious laughter. The play. will be repeated to-nght and Sat urday night, with Saturday matinee.

Van Buskirk's gold watch. taken from his home Saturday night, was yesterday recovered by detective Thorn ton. It was in possession of a broker named Wilson, doing business at room No. 9, Mansur Block, to whom it had been sold by George Reynolds, who was arrested by the detective for a burglary at Mr. Mc Guire's house, No. 4T4 North Pennsylvania street. I he prisoner named was taken be fore Wilson, who identified him as the man who sold him the watch. Reynolds's arrest was followed by that of Frank Thome, an other one of those supposed to have been engaged in several of the recent robberies. It is thought that the three men entered the house of Louis flays. IS o. 776 isortn Pennsylvania street, and that they at tempted to crack the safe in a South Dela-waro-street liquor-house.

Just as tbe negro made a spring to grasp him by the throat Uruelich drove the? knife through his hand. The fellow's screams attracted attention of some men, whoso footsteps caused him to turn and run, dis appearing down an embankment. What Riley's Spree Cost Him. John Kiley, nineteen years of age, was arrested by patrolmen Roesner and Rich ards last night for druukenness and mali cious tresp. The latter charge was based on the shattering of a glass door in a build ing at the curlier of Illinois and McCarty streets, until yesterday occupied by Mi chael Bresnan as a saloon.
