OLYMPIC THKATER, — John McCullough's opening night of hie en- gagement wus an omen of the success which will greet bis dramatic seasen in St. Louis. The theater was packet from dome to pit, and standing room even was ata premium. For the initial performance Dr. Bird's tragedy ot »The Gladiator’’ was selected. Spurtacas isa character in which Mr. MeCuliough ts pre- eminent. Physical'y he isthe embodiment of the bold und daring Thracitai who for two years deded the best armics ot Rome. As a representative of Rowe's dreaded enemy in the fearfal servile wur, McCullough has no equal on the stage. It is a personation in which his natural qualities vided by his fine dr«matic ability’ foree him to the very front rank. His rendering of the shepherd of Threce, from his capture by the Romans, his training in the gladiaterial arena, in the luxurious Capua, his vietorious rising with his brother giadiaters against his haugh- ty masters, his final defeat and tragic Aeath, is forcible and powerful in the extreme. ‘lhe pathetic and po-tical Scenes Lecween bis wife and brother, which the author has interwoven withthe hi-+torieal acceunt, lend a highly dramatic interest to the ’ M: »~ McCullough is probably the valy ac- tor onthe st use Whe cun Go justice te the part. Mr. Wurde as ’hasanus pyove “i that he is a cupable and taiented fist. The Senona ot Miss Emma Steckinan was" genuine surprise to that iady’s trienus and admirers.

Her interpretation of the deughter o1 the Roman patrician captive among the rude band of the rebcllious giadiators was istulned with infinite swWweethess und pathos.

LOUIS, Instructions to the Justices of the Peace in Relation to Fines Collected from Prison- ers—Items. Mayor Joyce yesterday and to-day addressed communications to the justices of the peace, instructing them to wake a full report of the monies received from fines imposed by them for violations of city ordinances or State of- lenses committed’ in thecity, and also to make a report of the business transacted to the City Council at their regular quarterly meetings. Heretofore the fines collected from prisoners convicted ot violations of city ordinances wen? to the justices and were never accounted tor. Mayor Joyce intends to remedy this, as he claims that hy section 71 article 11 of the city ordinances all moneys collected as fines or licenses must be tui ned over to the City Clerk. Tofind how the ‘Squires looked upon the communications a reporter called upon the jovial» "Squire Tom, but found himabad subject. He would not be inter- viewed on any subject. ‘Squire Egemann was found at his office, and suidhe bad no objection to letting the public know bis views on this subject. Me said.
