REMARKABLE SCENE IN New ORLEANS
IHEATER ON the evening Of the 29th Of
October, about 10 o'clock, in New Orleans,
a tragedy was enacted more seli1us than eX-
pected, on the stage of the German theater,
or Coceert Hall, on Poydras street, between
st. Charles and Carondelet The drama of
the Wolf was being enacted, and at that
scene in which is represented a gambling
house where young man is victmized Of his
last dollar, and when he charges the gambler
with cheating, is stabbed and killed John
Kruger was playing the part of the gambler,
and Emile Steiner that of the victimized-
young man. Kruger had not been furnished
with stage dagger by the property man,
and borrowed real one from officer Berwin,
the special policeman in Concert Hall. In
acting such scenes with real daggers, on the
stage, the person who strikes the blow keeps
his elbow out further than the point of the
weapon, and the person who pretends to re.
ceive the fatal thrust leans back ward, so that
the strikers elbow, coming against his breast,
stops the motion.
Steiner was unhappily somewhat intoXica.
ted, and when he should have thrown himself
back Ward he suddenly stopped forward, and
be ore Kruger could check the impetus ofhis
arm the dagger had gone into the right side
Of Steiner's neck, opening cash to the back
bone. The unfortunate actor was instantly
carried off the stage and sent to the Charity
Hospital, morlally wounded, while Kruger
was taken to the lock up by officers Dalton
and Berwin. The curtain was down but
short time, the pool of blood was washed up,
and then it was announced to the audience
that the drama could not be concluded, but a
farce would be substituted Here's a sub
iect for q moralist The audience applauded,
up went the curtain, and for whole hour
the actors aud audience enjoyed themselves.
Verify, is this not either ignorance Of the
event. or an Indifference of it on the part Of
the managers or the audience -E'rehangc.

STRANGE PROCEEDING. On Monday of last
~erk, the case of Jimmy Dayton, indicted
for murder, was brought before the District
Court in Sonora. The Age says:
When the case was called, the District At
torney stated that he was not ready for trial,
assigning as Il cause the absence of important
witnesses for the prosecution, who had been
subp1naed, but could not be found. Now, it
happened that two witnesses of tl;e murder
with which Dayton is charged were present
IN court at the time the case was called
Judge Creaner stated that the case was post
poned at the previous term, and he was de -
sirous of disposing of it. So the matter
rested-the District Attorney was not ready
Tor trial and finally the prisoner was dis,
charged from custody.
An eyewitness of the affair in which Day
ton was concerned, which occurred in front
of the City Hotel on the llth of April last,
states to us, positively, that it was as foul and
unprovoked a murder as ever was perpetra-
ted. This witness was in court when the
case was called for trial Mr. Smith night

trial, but was walking around our streets in

SUICIDE OF LOUIS DRUcKER, AN INDIAN Doc
roR.-Louis Drucker, an eccentric Indian
doctor in St. Louis, disappeared a short time
ago from Carondelet His hat and coat were
fastened upon the river bank, and the fol-
lowing letter, says the st. Louis correspond
ent of the Bulletin, addressed te one Of his
friends:

Show yourself worthy to fulfill the wish of
dying man. My body has a special mark,
viz: scar on the left leg from a bullet shot,
with which a French hero honored me. Now
good bye, and keep a kind remembrance of
me-"
A postscript TO the letter requests that it
should be published in the newspapers. Those
who knew the Doctors eccentricities believed
he had not committed suicide, but his body
was found in the water yesterday. He was
born in Berlin, Prussia, and widely known
among the Germans of the United States for
his wit, learning. and singular history. In
Berlin, he kept large and splendid wine
garden, where all orders for drinks were de-
llvered 10y boy-waiters on Shetland ponies.
In the city of Leipsic, where he afterwards
kept similar establishment the cup bearers
were girls uniquely dressed, who moved
