gagement Of Miss Lolita terminated on
Saturday evening, when PoeahOntas was
produced with several local interpola-
tons Lolita gave good representa-
ton of the pretty and gentle little savage
maiden who played the banjo. Lotta's
engagement has been a decided success,
her peculiar style of acting, dancing,
singing and banjo playing winning
many friends who will give her a warm
welcome on her return next season. Mr..
McWade divided the honors with Lolita
on Saturday, his "Mynheer Rolf" and
Toodles " creating considerable laugh
ter and hearty applause. We are to
have some fine old English comedies

plished lady and talented actress Miss

Mrs. d. p. BOWERS. AT the New
Memphis Theater this evening, Mrs. d.
P. Bowers, "the first actress on the
American stage" = according to the
oracular voice of the press-supported
by Mr.. J. c. MeCollum, a fine Young
tragedian, and the regular theater COM
pany, will make her first appearance in
Memphis as Lady Audley" in a dra'
matization of Miss Braddon's novel,
Lady Audles's Secret The drama is
full of thrilling interest and the plot
very absorbing Mrs. Bowers is regarded
as the best representative of Lady
Audley " in the world, having no equal
The plot of the drama runs as follows :
Lady Audley" was originally " Helen
Maiden" daughter of Captain Maiden.
She marries Geo. Talboys." "Talboys
suddenly leaves her in extreme destitu-
ton, and flies to India to seek his for
tune. He writes her letter explaining
his conduct, which fails to reach her.
Driven at length to the verge of despair,
with life of infamy staring her in the
face, she resolves to cut herself loose
from the past and earn an honest living.
Changing her name to Lucy Graham,
she engages herself for governess. Old
"Sir Michael Audley," of Audley Court,
meets, falls in love with her, and
offers her marriage. Believing her
self deserted forever, and naturally am
bilious ard aspiring, she confers her
hand upon him, and becomes the beauti-
full mistress ofAudley Court. "Talboys,
in the meantime, thrives in the Indies,
and after three years absence returns
home wealthy man, filled with antici-
pations of long and happy life with his
Helen" When near the white cliffs of
Albion" the vessel is boarded by pilot,
who distributes the London papers
among the passengers. Here, for the
first time, Talboys" gains intelligence
of the death of his wife, who, we should
have stated in the proper come ction,
when she changed her name to Lucy
Graham" had the body of an unkn own
woman buried under the name of
Helen Talboys," in order to destroy
all traces of her. A year after his re-
turn to his native land, he visited Audley
Court with his friend, Robert Aud
ley" and discovers that Lady Aud
ley is his lost wife. She meets him in
1.-THE lime.tree walk terrible explo-
sion follows between them-a struggle
ensues-by a superhuman effort she
filings him into an old well. The (sup-
posed murder is witnessed by Luke
Marks drunken inn-keeper, who res
cues him. Robert Audley is terribly
uneasy over the unaccountable absence
of his friend-suspicions foul play and
finally taxes Lady Audley" with his
murder. Luke Marks" uses his power
to extort money from her until one night
she steals forth, after learning that
Robert is staying over night at
" Luke's" inn, and sets fire to it, hoping
to rid herself of both forever. Robert"
escapes, enters the pr essence of bis uncle s
fami!y-chsrges her with the murder
and the arson-she acknowledges both
deeds, and, overcome by her violent pas
sions, drops dead.

MURDER or A PROMINENT
CITIZEN.
Gen. q. p. Bankhead Assassinated
on Saturday Night.


On Saturday night, about twelve
clock, some miscreant unknown, at
tackled Gen. S. p. Bankhead near the
corner Of Main and Washington streets,
striking him on the head four times with
slung.shot or loaded cane, intlicting
wounds from the effects OF which he died
about ten o'clock last night A police
man standing near observed the General
fall and his assailant run away, but was
unable to capture him. Gen. Bankhead
was carried to the First District station
house, where he was attended to by DIR.
W. II. White. He was afterward removed
to his residence on Washington street,
but the best surgical aid in the city failed
to save his lite. There is slight clue
to the murderer, which we hope will re-
suit in his capture and the melting out to
him of that punishment which he so
richly deserves. Gen. Bankhead was
held in high esteem by our citizens, hav'
ing served with distinction in the Con-
federate army, and as City Attorney last
year.
The different Courts adjourned this
morning in respect to the memory of the
deceased, who was a prominent lawyer.
A meeting of the Board Of Aldermen
was held at noon, with view Of offering
reward for the apprehension of the
murderer, etc. We will publish their &C.
ton in the premises tomorrow.
