CRIMES AND0SIMINALS, The sixth, seventh and eighth days of the Emma Bond case, at Hillsboro, 111., were unproductive of any new or startling developments, the time being largely occupied by arguments of counsel touching the admissibility of certain evidence. Judge Thornton, leading counsel for the defense, made a motion for the discharge of Clemonti and Pettis, on the ground, as he claimed, that no testimony had been elicited implicating them in the crime, and pressed his motion upon the court with a powerful argument. Judge Phillips, however, refused to view the matter in the same light that the defendants' able counsel looked at it, and decided to let the ease be passed upon by the jury. The ninth and tenth days' were devoted principally to the efforts of the defense to establish an alibi. Ciementi, one of the defendants, first told his story, which was a very straightforward and apparently truthful one. He accounted clearly for bis whereabouts and movements on the day of the commission of the crime. Pettis corroborated dementi's narrative the two, according to their testimony, having passed the day togetLer at the Pettis house and the Pettis family reinforced the defense by corroborating the story of the two defendants.

An Ouray (Colo.) dispatch reports a terrible accident, by which nearly a score of people lost their lives; "The Virginius mine is owned by the Carolina Mining company, of Boston, employs thirty-five men, and is situated above the timber line at the foot of the Sueffles range. Friday afternoon a huge mass of snow started from the top of the range and swelled into an avalanche as it descended, striking the building used as a boarding-house, where eleven men were resting. It swept the building completely away, crushing and burying the men fifteen and twenty feet under the snow, among the rooks and timber, fortunately missing the engine-house. After the noise and confusion the other miners were posted from the shaft and start ed in search for their comrades. Five were taken out alive, but badly crushed, and may die. The other six were found dead." While a party was returning to Ouray, bringing the bodies of the dead men, another snowslide struck the sleds containing the corpses, carrying them 2,000 feet down the mountain, whence they plunged 500 feet over a precipice, where they must remain until spring. The party reached Ouray half dead from exhaustion. Petersburg.Ind., was last week the scene of a lynching bee. Charles Harvey, charged with murder and incendiarism, was taken from the jail by a mob and hanged to a locust tree. Christmas eve was marked by an almost incredible number of railroad accidents, no less than seven happening in Indiana alone. Near Salem a passenger train went through a bridge into Blue rivei;. Seven persons were crushed to death or drowned, and several injured. Near Avon a passenger train ran into a freight, telescoping the caboose and several cars, resulting in the loss of at least two lives. At Fort Wayne a passenger train on the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad was struck by a switch engine and half a score of passengers injured. On the Chicago and St. Louis railroad, about twenty miles from Indianapolis, spreading rails caused the complete wreck of a passenger train, though no one was fatally hurt.

DRAMATIC ANJ MUSICAL,. .Salvini has agreed upon m American 'tour for liext year. 4 V . John T. Donnelly, -who died: in Philadelphia recently, had been connected with a large number of muaical and dramatic companies. Saeah Bernharbt and her husband have been ordered by a Paris court to pay 125,000 francs to her surety in a violated contract with a London manager. At the dinner given Irving by the Clover club in Pniladelphia, he must, so to speak, have been in clover, for he says it was the finest "feed" he has sat down to in America. The stomach is the highway to the Briton's heart, and Mr. Irving will continue to feel an affectionate regard for America so long as she feeds him well, whether she appreciates his acting or not. ' Emma Abbott said the other day to a Detroit Times reporter that she had among her costumes one elegant dress of hand-embroidered brown velvet and camels' hair, which she could neither get into nor get out of without help. "My maid," she said, "assists me, and buttons the two rows of buttons with a shoe-hook. Then I feel just as if I were a trussed mummy. I must say, though, it fits divinely." Paris premises to furnish the next dramatic aspirant for American applause and dollars in the person of Frederic Achard, of the Theater Gymnase, who is about to make a starring tour of the United States. His roles are chiefly Shakspearean, and as he has a fluent English pronunciation, and a thorough training in the Parisian school of acting, his friends predict success. So says a recent cable dispatch. Olive Dogan, writing from London, praises Mary Anderson's beauty, and adds: "The power of expressing anguish, the faculty of rending hearts' because one's own heart is rent, that which, comes but with the wear and tear of years, that nameless something which starts the tears to the listener's eye this is absent. Some day this power will be fully revealed in Miss Anderson, and if this adjunct to her histrionic sway arrive before her beauty has faded then, indeed, will she be a queen of the mimic world." Jack Haveuly having obtained control of New York's San Francisco minstrels, a New York journal says, dolefully: "No doubt that restless person will endeavor to make a sensation. No doubt the burden of 'iris photographs will be laid more heavily than ever upon the afflicted public gaze. Now that Mrs. Lydia Pinkham has gone there is more room than formerly for displays of this kind. But the quiet, homelike, unassuming, always cheerful minstrel show that has so long been a pleasure and solace to this community has passed away and will not be replaced." Henry Irving played "Hamlet" for the first time in this country in Philadelphia, and a writer says: "A high pitch was hit in the action of Hamlet during the progress of the play. The suppressed excitement with which he watches the cheese of his mouse-trap' until his excitement becomes uncontrollable, and at the crisis of the crime he rolls and scrambles across the stage and climbs into the throne the King has abandoned in order to shout his delirious exultation all this is wrought up to one of those thrilling effects of eccentric acting for which we are willing to forgive Mr. Irving so much, and after which we have to fergive him so much." Mary Anderson seems to have finally captured John Bull, horns, hide, hoofs and all, and her Galatea was the picture that did it. A recent cable dispatch from London says: "The triumph of Miss Mary Anderson in her first representation here of the character of Galatea, at the Lyceum theater this evening, was instantaneous and almost unprecedented. The house was crowded with a distinguished audience, including Mr, Henry Labouchere, a score of other members of Parliament, and many ladies and gentlemen who are prominent in the world of society and art. Miss Anderson captured the sympathy and admiration of the honse the moment she was discovered, at the raising of the curtain, posed as the statue of Galatea. The plastic effect oi this scene was wonderful, the attitude of the actress, the dead white of the make-up, and the faultlessly classical lines of the drapery presenting the very similitude of -a marble masterpiece of the Bculptor's art. At the end of the first act Miss Anderson was twice called before the drop-curtain, and was deluged with applause and floral tributes. Among the latter were some gorgeous bouquets and several wreaths of laurel tied with the American ool' ors. The enthusiasm was maintained throughout, and culminated when, after the play was finished, Miss Anderson answered the repeated plaudits of the audience by coming before the curtain leading Mr. W. S. Gilbert, the author of 'Pygmalion and Galatea and of the new play by whioh it is to be suoceeded."
