An Elopement. The Evansville Courier of Saturday contained the following-: “East night a man named Schneider, a barber who works at Georget’s shop on Locust called at police headquarters and complained that his wife had eloped with a painter whose name he did not know, and desired their arrest. Schneider and his wife were married on Wednesday last, and he thought it hard to have his honeymoon destroyed by this sort of a proceeding. The painter with whom she eloped had only been married two weeks, and there seems to be general sheol to pay. Mrs. Schneider is only sixteen years old, while her husband has just arrived at his majority. The whereabouts of the erring pair is not known, but it is supposed they are still in the city, and if this is the case will probably be apprehended to-day.” The Democrat is informed that the couple who had their honeymoon destroyed is Henry Schneider and Mary Reed, formerly of this place.

Ike Wilson Dramatic Company,

Which is at Schaefer’s Hall throughout this week, is a competent combination. Each member acts well his or her part. There is not one who lacks ability to perform the role assigned them. Seldom are the dramatic companies that visit us as strong as this one. The members enter into the spirit of the play with zest, and the effect is shown hv the liberal applause and the roars'of laughter that greet them nightly. It is genuine enjoy meut for a play-goer to witness a popular drama presented by a company of artists, who are intelligent aud capable ladies and gentlemen. Our people should not fail to appreciate histrionic talent, and that the Wilson Dramatic Company possess it to a great degree we are well aware, as are all who have seen their excellent performances this week. Monday night,uVan, the Virginian,” attracted a large house. The attention of the audience was centered on “Kate,” Miss Maud Howe; “Van, the Virginian f J. B. Kegrotto; “Jangle,” W. E. Keifer; '‘Richard Marley, R. B. Jones; “Charlie Knox,”Harry M. Hooper; “Patience,” Miss Lizzie Webber.; “Louie,” Miss Kate Robertson. “Littleton Jaugle” kept the house in a perfect roar, and Harry Hooper’s songs pleased thf audience. Miss Howe and Mr. Kegrotto sustained the leading parts in a charming manner. Tuesday evening, “The Planter’s Wife,” was given in a very creditable wav, with the following cast: Edith Gray, Miss Maud Howe; Albert Graham, J. B. Kegrotto; Harry Livingston, B. B. Jones; Simeon Sincoe, W. E. Keifer; Author Blake, Ed. Keifer; Tomette, Harry Hooper; Dora, Miss Lizzie Webber; Angie, Miss Kate Robertson. The characters were all well taken and lack of space prevents an extended mention. A funny farce followed. “Davy Crockett” was the bill last night, hut we go to press too early to particularize. To-night, the great sensational drama, “Was It a Crime,” will be played with the full strength of the company. A rare dramatic treat. If space permitted we would speak at length of each one, but it is suffice to say that a company composed of Miss Maud Howe, J. B. Kegrotto, R. B. Jones, W. E. Keifer, Ed. Keifer, Harry Hooper, Miss Lizzie Webber, and Miss Katie Robertson, possesses material for a strong company. R. B. Jones we know personally. He is a genial and first-class gentleman, besides being a prominent and pleasing actor.
