The ALLEGED OUTRAGE UPoS DANsEUsE-CoM-
MUNrcArIoN FROM Mn. E1LsLER.-We publish the
following communication in regard to article in
yesterdays PREss from motives Of justice to all the
parties concerned in this exceedingly unpleasant
affair. Tho source whence we derived our informa.
tion we regarded as entirely reliable; but being
aware that lone story is good until another is told"
we gladly give place to Mr.. Elsler's denial. If we
had had the slightest doubt that the ddnseuse at
Woods Theater had been struck by one Of the at
tdces Of the establishment the article never would
have appeared. In regard to the pallating circum-
stances, We did not care to know them for we felt
certain they would not Justify the act, no matter
what they were. The following note, however, WILL
we hope repair any injury that may have been done

To he Editors ofhs Pres.
Having observed in the Press Of this morning an
article headed IAN Alleged Outrage upon Dan
seuse, deem 1t my duty, not alone to myself but
the somewhat mythical parsonage alluded to, to re-
flute the charge asserted by one with whom ] can
referred to, gives me the benefit of an "if" II
would have been kindness first to have instituted
inquiry into the circumstances of the case, prior
inserting an article Of intolerant abuse. I do not
wish to tmpute TO him that he has committed
an unwHrrantable attack npon myself or 9TH
ers n my employ; but that he has given to the
public an article, whose tendencies are TO
lead to the Inference that the ladies and
gentlemen engaged In the theater would stand
reflection from which would acquit all. That there
has been a gross and wantOn interpretation Of
truth u evident to those connected with the theate.
Miss PennOyer not having complied with the rules
and regulations Of the establishment, and having
used language, upon being so informed, Of not the
most poll e nature told that her services could
and would be dispensed with. Those who are par
ticulnrly desirous or obtaining tho truth of this
affair can satisfy curiosity by calling at the Box
Office.
regret the necessity Of being thus Obliged to an
5wer that which, IL unanswered, would have ten
lency to inIure not only interests but those who
are Immediately connected with me; but am salts
ned that ii the gentleman who wrote the notice to
which have referred had known the truth, that the
article would never have appeared, no such out
rage committed.
Respectfully yours, JOHN A. ELLSLER,
Manager Of Woods Theater
