Domestic extravagance is the theme of Porter Emerson Browne's play which will be presented at the Majestic theater, Fort Wayne, on Wednesday evening by Frederic Thompson, manager, called “The Spendthrift.” Its title conveys an idea of the story, but it is the author's skillful manner and knowledge of humanity that has made his handling of the story and its rather deep subject a sensation dramatically. Mr. Brownes first play was ”A Fool There Was," which Robert Hilliard used as a starring vehicle. In his second work the author»has taken lip the cost and pain that come from a life devoted entirely to gayety and in telling his story he not only does it with force, but with a delightful comedy and a dialogue full of the brightest repartee.

COURT HOUSE NEWS The Kirchner Case Will go Jury This Evening After Long Trial. — ARGUMENTS HEARD — Commissioners Will Meet Saturday to Dispose of Liquor Transfer. The Kirchner real estate case will . go to the jury abcat 4 o’clock this aft- ■ ernoon, after about two weeks of trial. The arguments were heard today and the lawyers on each side made an earnest fight. The result will be watched ; with interest by the many who have followed the case. The commissioners will meet Saturday in continued session, at which time the transferring of a wholesale liquor license to Joseph Tonnelier will be taken up. He has published notice and filed application for a transfer o!' the license held by John Kleinhenz, but the latter died, and it now be- , comes necessary for the administrator to make the transfer. — A marriage license was issued to Hattie Frisinger, 22, and Grover Cleveland Willmath. 21, farmer, both of Adams county. Both were born hi I , Mercer county, Ohio. Edward k\ Kleinhenz has been appointed administrator . for the estate of his father. John W. Kleinhenz. Hisi bond was approved by the court. | I Effie M. Springer vs. John M. Springer, divorce, appearance by C. J. Lutz for plaintiff. I The case of the State vs. Frank Smith has been reset for January 5, • ; and the case of the State vs. Girt Reynolds for January 9th. — FELL WHEN DRUNK. Charles Carleton, a woodworker, carrying a little too much booze, rambled up the stairs to the Porter upholstery plant, where he managed to; fall off the balcony, landing on the | neck of a horse which was hitched I there. He was cut seriously around , the head and on the arm. He was un-1 der surveilance at the time, but was i allowed to go home after the mishap. I o Elias Crist, who has been confined Io his home the past two weeks with lag-ippe, is now able to be up and , around. | Lo - al passenger traffic is very snwr on account of so closely following\ ml exceptional Christmas rush of a few days ago. The various railroads have reduced i the section force during the winter months. During the cold weathe very little track work can lie don and a few men to patrol are all that is necessary. The sections are pr.troled each day of freezing weather. The Grand Army of the Republic will hold a public installation at their I meeting to be held next Thursdaynight. The soldiers, their wives and ' friends of the order, are welcome to attend. This is generally a gala occasion for the old soldiers and a general good time is had by all attending.
