In mounting his dramatization of Goetho's famous work Mr. Morrison has sought to oxcel in spectacular novelty tho production given , by Henry Irving. He has called into requisition not only the services of the scenic artist and stage mechanism, but those of tho electrician and tho pyrotechnist as well.

' ' Can it be. as has been suggested, that tho murderer may be a highly respected man moving in tho best circles, and that he should bo sought for inside, aud not outside, of society ? ' In the present cose this theory would not hold good, for every guest at Oon. Ulver stone's was a personal friend of tho family, and no one was absent from the room either before or during the time Miss Ulvorstone was away, and certainly no stranger enteral the honse the whole evening. ' ' It behooves the police to moke still further efforts to catch tbo murderer, and all that private enterprise can do should be done towards aiding justice in the matter. " Meanwhile there appears as usual to be no clue." The noxt day the hoardings in all ports of London were covered with the following notice : MUBDIB FABDOX, Whereas, on Aug. 7, at 14 Faversham Oar dens, Notting Hill, Oeraldine Ulverstone was murdered by some person or iwrsons unknown, tho Secretary of Htato will advise the grant of Her Majesty's gracious pardon to any accom plice, not being a person who contrived or act. ually committed the murder, who shall give such information and o idenco as shall lead to the discovery and conviction of the person or persona who committed the murdor. (Signed) Tur. CouMiasionin or Polick or the Mktooi-olis. Metropolitan Tolice Office, 4 Whitehall place, Aug. 8, 18. Nothing came of tho Government offer of a pardon. No one turned Queen's evidoncn, and the numorous rewards offered for the discovery of the murderer remained un claimed. It was therefore generally surmised that hs bad no accomplices. The murders were the main topic of con. versotion in all ranks of society. The papers devoted columns daily to discussion of the subject, and soaroely a sitting passed without questions having bearing upon it being asked In the House. The wildest theories were conjectured, and each man was convinced that the view he advanced was the correct solution of tbo mystery. Hut. oil the same, the mysterious assassin remained undiscovered, snd all the supposed clues led to nothing. A few evenings after the murder of Miss Ulverstone a number of members were sitting in the smoking-room of the Globe-Trotters' rixekwJaa&. f . . .... ..... . . e f A rjjseaSSjgxyrBST rrwTTgTjBjejaxyrfy .Tiy J '7fflwry AMUSEMEHTa; AMUSEMENTS, t ; '.,jfljfl WORTH'S MUSEUM, J Js'l M(b.

" I am more convincod than ever." said a well-known mad doctor, ' ' that my theory is the correot one. The murderer is a dis charged lunatlo. Twenty-soven out of every twenty-eight days he is aa sane as you or I ; but on the twenty-eighth, with the buddinr; of the new moon, he develops homicidal AT THE OLODX TROTTEll's CLUB-BOUSE, mania, and, dagizer in hand, goes forth on his errand of murder." ' ' That may be, " remarked a criminal law. yer sittinc next to him; "but bow does he manago to escape detection ? Besides, in his lucid moments he would, I presume, read the newspapers and be acquainted with the the fact of these murders havinc been eom. mitted, and wilh the blood-stuined dagger in his possession he would, I should imagine, connoct himself with tlio murders, aud in hts anouy of mind run the risk of betraying himself, if he did not actually gie him. self up." Not at all," replied the doctor "He doubtless reads the papers, but instead of connecting himself with the murders, he would in all probabil.ty view with execra tion the committal of such bloody deeds. And as far as the dagger is concerned, I feel convinced that Immediately after the victim has been killed he, whllo still insane, nidesjtbe weapou, and only fetches it from its hiding, place t hen the homicidal tit is next on him. In such case he in bis lucid intervals' would know nothing of the dagger or the place where it was hid. " "I never thought of that," replied the lawyer. H. R. JACOBS' 3D AVE. THEATRE, .
