At Music Hall.

The march of science as applied to photography can not possibly be seen to better advantage than in the remarkable Vitiscope pictures of the CorbettFitzsimmonsicontest which occurred at Carson City the 17th of March last, and which will be shown at the Music Hall Monday night, March 28.

When one thinks that there are over two and one-third miles of film run before the machine, and that there are one hundred and forty-three thousand distinct and separate photographs thrown upon the screen, some idea of the magnitude of this enterprise may be imagined. The Corbett-Fitzimmons contest probably receive more notoriety in the news papers and attracted more interest than any like event during the present century and is of wonderful interest. The Vitiscope pictures are all copyrighted and are all thb only genuine. Dan A. Stuart, the president of the Vitiscope company, is fully protected and is prepared to prosecute any {and all infringements upon his rights.

Comes Too High.

The county commissioners refuse to give their conBent to the erection of a 110,000 school building at New Market. In close times like these, it does look like that is entirely too much to place in a school building in a place no larger nor a country around no thicklier settled than New Market.

began in Circuit Court on Monday last and has claimed the attention of the court and jury most of the week. Thompson, it, will be remembered, shot his wife one evening last October at the residence of Mr. Wilson, on Franklin street, at which place she was visiting at the time. Both Thompson and wife were raised in Darlington and have resided there most of their lives. Both parties with a large number of witnesses have been in attendance most of the week. After a delay of several hours the following persons were selected to hear, the testimony and decide the case:

getting drunk or getting ready to go into that state. He had taken the Keeley cure two or three times, but with no beneficial effects it would seem. He had laterly followed tho business of barbericg, but had worked at tbe business but little for the past year. The defense in their questioning of witnesses sought to bring out by evidence that he waB not responsible for his acts, waB in fact insane when he ehot his wife. The court room has been crowded all week. The parents and other relatives of both Thompson and wife have been in attendance 6very day of tho trial. There were a number of witnesses in court on Tuesday from

Middletown, Henry county, .where Thompson resided for a few months of last year.

Most of Thursday was spent in listening to the argument of the attorneys for the two sides, and which were listened to with close attention by the large crowd in attendauce. After the charge to the jury it retired at 5 o'clock in the evening, and the mass of the people retired. After being out three hours the jury came in with its verdict. It was that Thompson be sentenced to the reformatory at Jeffer sonville, the time to be indeterminate but from 2 years. The verdict meets with general approval. The testimony of medical experts regarding the condition of Thompson's mind at tho time of the commission of the crime evidently had no weight with the jury

Notwithstanding the great difference in their ages, he being nearly sixty years old and abe under twenty, George did not allow that to enter into consideration before being joined in wedlock It seems now to have been a case of marrying in haste to repent at leisure for in lens than a week, they had parted, she returning to her home here.

57TH YEAR.—NO 32.

A MAD DOG

Creates a Sensation in the South

Part of Town, Bat Is Finally Kilted by the Harshal. Tuesday afternoon a vicious looking bull dog, frothing at the mouth and having a decidedly dangerous looking aspect, appeared at the residence of Wm. Pool, at 815 south Washington street. Two members of the family were in the kitchen which he had en terea. They disappeared promptly, leaving the dog in sole control. Neighbors were summoned to assist in forcing tho dog away from the premises, but a glance at him as he stood frothing and growling in the room, was a sufficient incentive for all to keep away. Finally Marshal Grimes was sent for. He appeared soon after, and drawing his revolver sighted it through a window pt the dog and fired. One bullet was enough. The dog dropped over dead greatly to the relief of the people in thai portion of the city. He probably had the hydrophobia, and may have bitten other dogs in the neighborhrod.

"The Geisha."

Tne Japanese comedy, "The Geisha" will be presented at Music Hall Monday night, March 21. "The Geisha" is the greatest operatic success in the past two years. It was written by Owen Hall & Harry Greenback, with the sparkling muBic by Sidney Jones. The theme is as light as the songs and score. It is the tale of a

Tea House" and it appeals to the galleries

well ae the parquet. One

of the most fetching numbers in it is the Chrysanthemum music with harp obligate, in Act 2. Worthy of mention is the song of "The Amorous Gold Fish" and "The Jewel of Asia" but the song that took the roof off Daly's theater, New York is "Jack's the boy for me." That song has been redemanded as much as nine times in an evening at Daly's. ThiB production is the original, as pioduced in London and New York.

Mass Convention.

On March 24 the democrats of the city will 1 old amass convention at the Court House for the purpose of nominating candidates for the city offices of

Good Big Commissions.

Hie commissions would amount to several thousands of dollars in these trades.

Returned.

Deinas Gilbert, who removed to Chicago a few months ago, has returned to this place with his family to reside. His moving to Chicago, it is understood, was a losing venture, and hegladly returns to the old stamping ground.

Destroyed By Fire.

The paw mill of Joseph Cotton, seven miles north of the city, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning by fire communicating to some planks near by, and was totally destroyed. The loss is near $1,000 with no insurance.
