Sailed for Ireland. .
Miss Ellen Galvin, sailed for Claire,
Ireland, to-dayyin the steamship Ber-
lin. She was accompanied to New
York by Selectman Oscar Raymond.
Miss Galvin was at one time in the
employ of Attorney Joseph A. Gray,
as a domestic. After she had been at
work for him nearly a month, and on
the 22d of February, Mr. Gray claim-
ed that she had become Obstreperous
and refused to do as he or his wife bade
her. In fact that she was that ugly
that he feared to leave his wife alone
with her. He then Ordered her out of
the house but she refused to go unless
she was paid the amount she claimed to
be due her for services. Mr. Gray
then had her placed under arrest and
she was taken to the station-house
where she was locked up for the night.
The following morning she was taken
before Justice Austin who sentenced
her to pay a fine Of $7 and costs and
thirty days in jail. She was taken to
jail the same day. A great many
thought at the time the sentence to be
a very severe one. '
Miss Galvin was dischargad from the
jail on March 27th and returned to
Norwrlk; where through Attorney
Walsh she demanded Of Mr. Gray the
amount of wages due her. This billhe
at first refused to recognize, but fin-
ally told Mr. Walsh that he would give
it to her for charity sake. But he did
not proffer the money, and Mr. Walsh
was unable to get it, although he told
Mr. Gray he would bring a suit against
him for the amount.
Being without means Miss Galvin
then became a charge upon the town
and has been an inmate Of the alms-
house up to to-day. This week she ex-
pressed a wish to return to her home in
Ireland, and was furnished by the town
with a ticket for that place, and left
this morning, as above stated. . .
It is reported that the Selectmen Will
bring suit against Mr. Gray to recover
the money due Miss Galvin, to in part
recompense the town for the money ex- w

OPERA HOUSE.
Lovers Of Irish drama will find in
“Nora Machree,” as presented by Sid-
ney R. Ellis’ clever company, a decided
dramatic novelty. The play is a tri-
bute to the worth and dignity of Irish
character, which, while being welcome
to all theatre-goers, will find special
favor with those who cherish a spark
of love for the Emerald Isle. It is de-
voted of all caricature of the Irish
race, and holds the mirror up to nature
in a true artistic manner. It has no
evictions, no military, no mock heroics.
A_ pure ”Irish love story embellished
With choice gems of Ireland’s pictur-

by a clever company, will be a novelty.

The Three Guardsmen.
—Salvini’s elaborate and artistic pro-
duction of “Don Caesar de Bazan” at
the Manhattan Opera House, in which
as a producer the N ew_ York Telegram
alluded to him as being the equal of
the much vaunted Henry Irving will
be followed on Monday, April 17th, by
Dumas’ perenially popular romance
“The Three Guardsmen.”
Mr. Salvini in revivmg these plays of
old time romance and chivalry on so
sumptuous a scale has served up a dish
that, to the theatre goer of the day is
peculiarly pungent, and exhilirating
after the comparatively conventional
material of the modern playwright.
The themes which they rehearse, the
impassioned language, rapid action,
and absorbing interest with which they
are replete are calculated to quicken
the pulse and to arouse the-spectator
from that torpid repression which
‘seems to be the keynote of modern so-
ciety.
The stage of the Manhattan Opera
House, for the past few weeks, has
been a' hubub of work and excitement
over preparations for “The Three
Guardsmen” and itpromises to be pre-
sented on even a more elaborate scale
than that of Don Caesar. Those who
have seen Salvini as D’Artagnan, say
that he comes nearer-Dumas idea than
any one who has essayed the role since
the days of Charles Fechter. Possessed
of a massive phySlqlle, the ‘exhuber-
ance of youth, and a dramatic instinct
inherited from a long race Of famous
actors, he should be able to portray
the cunning Gaseon youth to the life._
The play as presented, by Salvini is
in five acts and sixteen separate scenes
and Manager Wilkinson announces that
the scenic effects. costumes and armor
work will be as historically correct as
the data of the period will permit.
Prominent in the cast will be William
Redmund, Miss Haida Craigen, Wal-
{ter Craven, Myron Callice, Ben J Olin--
son, Miss Maude Dixon and Mr. Nor-
mon‘COnyers. ' - .

Servia’s, Boy King Asserts His
Royal Power.
REGENTS AND MINISTRY ARRESTED
The Young Monarch’s Course Evidently
Dictated by His Recently Reconciled
Parents, 'Whose Separation Led to Seri-
ous Disorders in the Kingdom.
BELGRADE, April 15.—King Alexander
has arrested the regents and ministers of
Servia. He has declared that he has at-
tained his majority, and has assumed the
government Of the country. The coup
d’etat was effected without bloodshed.
A grand banquet was given at the palace
to celebrate King Alexander’s success in
passing the examination prescribed for
Servian students. At midnight, while the
festivities were still in progress, King
Alexander proclaimed that he had attained
his majority and that he had assumed,
with the skupshtina, the government of
the country. As a matter of fact, the king
had not attained his majority. - According
to the Servian law he does not become of
age until he is 18 years old, and he will
not be 18 for considerably more than a
year.
When the deposed regents and ministers
heard the proclamation they were dum-
founded. The king and his advisers acted
with great. promptitude, and soldiers who
were in waiting at once placed the regents
and ministers under arrest, and they were
sent to rooms which had been prepared for
them in the palace, where they remain un-
der guard. The Scrvian army is loyal to
the king.
The details of the coup d’etat were car~
r'ed out. with remarkable swiftness and
s'mplicity. The regents and cabinet min-
i ters were seated at dinner, the king pre—
siding. After the third course the king
rose and said: “Gentlemen, for four years
you, in my name, have administered the
kingly power. I thank you heartily for
the trouble you have taken. I now feel
able to administer the power myself, and
will exercise it from this moment. I beg
you, therefore, immediately to hand me
your resignations”
As the officials demurred the arrests fold
l)wed. Subsequently they were taken to
their residences under guard.
Last night the king’s assumption of
power was celebrated with a torchlight
procession and general illuminations.
The course taken by the young king will
generally be attributed to the influence of
hisfather and mother, ex-Klng Milan and
Queen Natalie, who have recently been
reconciled after many years of discord.
Queen Natalie has never forgiven the re- .
gents for her expulsion from the country
in May, 1891, an event which was accom-
panied with considerable violence, and
which evoked a chivalrous resistance on
the part Of her supporters, two of whom
were killed by the troops. Ex-King Milan
has felt that the regency was a menace in
some degree to his dynasty, as well as to
the influence which he desired to exercise
in Servia.
The reconciliation, as well as the ap-
proach of young Alexander to the period
at which he would be entitled to assume
the reins without a regency, has made the
house of Obrenovitch virtually irresist-
ible, and left its antagonists without any
standing sufficient to oppose the powers of
the reconciled family. The coup d’etat,
therefore, is simply the revival of the
royal supremacy which had been first
weakened by the separation of Milan and
Natalie, and seriously impaired by the
abdication Of Milan, and the subsequent
troubles in which the country was plunged,
largely as aresult of the Weakness of the
crown.
During the past year these difficulties
have increased, and radicalism has reared
its head in such a. menancing manner as to
make the conservative classes long for
greater strength and unity at. the source of
government. The decree of expulsion
against Queen Natalie was revoked, but
the situation, both political and financial,
rapidly grew worse, and serious disorders
in Belgrade increased the public anxiety
for a more stable administration. It is ap-
parent, therefore, that Servia was ripe for
the bold act by which young Alexander
has asserted his royal authority, and vin-
dicated in some degree the damaged pres-
tige of the house of Obrenovitch.
