EVANSVILLE OPERA HoUsE.-We
regret to announce another sparse
audience at the Opera House last
night. as no such dramatic talent has
ever before been presented before an
Evansville audience by any Grtiste.
Despite her extreme hoarseness, which
at times rendered her voice unman-
ageable. Miss Champion. by her rare
eloquence and matchless acting,
caused her audience to lose sight
of her voice. Her Agnes De
We're was received with rounds
of applause. Mr.. Gotthold played
with most creditable ability His
dying scene was really admirable.
Miss Rickcords appeared to fine ad-
vantage, and Miss Whitney was most
happy in her impersonation of " Kitty
Dobbs." Mr.. Saphore likewise played
well, and the piece was received with
manifest satisfaction.
The afterpiece, Barney, the
Odicbs Was simply OACCEdUic. n
poor play badly presented, and sh ould
never be repeated" was the general
verdict.
We are pleased to announce that
" Medea is to be repeated tonight,
a character in which Miss Champion
has no rival, and on Friday evening
Miss Champion will appear in an
other of her specialties, Queen
Elizabeth. If the lovers of the
drama in Evansville have real de-
sire to sec fine artistic acting, they
will fill the Opera House o-night and
tomorrow night.
We regret to see that Barney the
Baron" is announced as the after
piece tonight. Even Laying
Ghost were preferable.

SIcKNEss.-At present there is a
good deal of sickness among children
in the city, principally measles. Quite
a number of cases of scarlet fever
have been reported among the chill

fatal. In consequence of sickness q
large number of children have been
unable to attend school during the last
two or three weeks.

REcORDE 90 CoURT.-The Recorder
had q real, brisk time at his court
yesterday, quite a number of cases
being tried. out of all of which he did
not get a single beefstake," he
was looking as gloomy and dispond-
ent as the Democrats did the morn
ing of the 4th of November, when 1t
was understood that Seymour and
Blar had suffered an ignominious
defeat. Night before last, on Water
Street, quite row occurred amongst
a lot of fellows who, having vast
deal of bust-head" on board. be-
came fit subjects for the lookup, and
as a result of the evenings opera
atoms, found themselves in the Gala
boose. Yesterday they all had a hear
ing. The first of the lot who appeared
was Thomas Craddock, who was adj
judged guilty of fighting and drunk
enness. and in fine and cost was taxed
So 80, which included lodging in the
city prison. Bob. Collins, Jas. Bliss
and Frank Kinmin were each
pulled" on the same charges, and
each taxed q like amount.
Miles Coulter, on charge of an or
binary drunk. was charged Sc Is, and
not having the cash to pay out, was
sent to prison to board it out. IF he
does not ante up he will be put to
work, just for the purpose of teach
ing him to behave himself in future.
A man, who has often appeared be-
fore the Recorder or various charges,
and who has promised to be caught
in scrapes no more in case his name
is withheld from the public, on
charge of fighting was fined and cost
ed to the amount of S. 80. If he
does not keep his word his name will
be published 10 future, but it is hoped
that he will do as he has promised.
Charles Williams, of whom mention
was made in this paper day or two
ago, in connection with the affair at
the house of Mr.. Petroleus, on Fourth
Street. and who had promised to
skip" the city, was pulled " by
Joel Sherwood, on charge of vagrancy.
and in fine and costs taxed $28. Not
having the cash to liquidate the
claim, rather than incur expense to
the city by keeping this precious chap
in the lookup, he was sent to his
boarding house with the express
understanding that he was not to be
found in the streets at night, and that
he was to leave the city by this morn
ing's train, and return no more to the
city. IF he does not take his depart
ure. ne will be pulled " again this
morning, and handled roughly. Will
liams has been playing policeman
about the city. and has, it is said,
gone uninvited into quite a number
of private houses. He is known to
all the police officers, and bears no
enviable name.
Two men, whose names we omit, on
charge of disorderly conduct, were
discharged from custody, there APP
pearing no one for the prosecution.
1t appears that the police force have
commenced a mare thorough work
in the arrest and punishment of
class of men who are disturbing the
peace of the city. It is well.

For THE HOUSE OF REFUGE.-A
young lad, who has been guilty of a
good deal misconduct of late, will be
sent to the House of Refuge to-day.
The complaint was made by his
mother. He has been obtaining
money under false pretenses, and do
ing maay other things which, were he
a man, would be sufficient to send
him to the penitentiary. It is hoped
that by sending him for g while to the
House of Refuge that he will come
back with improved morals. It must
have been a sad duty on the part of
the mother to make complaint against
her son.

ALLEGED THEFT-Complaint was
made with Esquire Emery by mar
ket woman that a negro man had
robbed her of three dollars at
market. She alleged that the colored
individual had asked to purchase
something of her, and while looking
at certain articles, had appropriated
her pocket book, containing three
dollars. There was not evidence suf-
icent to warrant the opinion that her
statement was correct, hence the negro
was discharged from custody and al
lowed to go free.

DARING ROBBERY.-On Saturday
evening last a man by the name of
VIM. Nicholson, came to the city In q
wagon with a span of horses. During
the evening he purchased several
articles for family use, a broom, some
coffee and other articles, and while
making his purchases he INDUCED in
sundry potations of lager and perhaps
bad whisky. A short time after dark
Nicholson started for his home, which
is about twelve miles from the city.
When passing Adler's warehouse, at
the head of EIain Street, two men
and one woman asked to ride to the
country with him, and were granted
the privilege. At a point near Matt.
Lynche's the men and the woman left
the wagon, but when Mr.. Nicholson
had reached home and became sober
ed up, he discovered that he had been
robbed of all he had purchased in the
city, and about thirty-two dollars in
cash. He could not describe the par
ties who robbed him so that they
could be identified, hence it is not at
all likely they will meet with the punt
ishment they so richly deserve. There
are quite a number of rascals in our
city who succeed in living without
any visible means of support. The
question is, how do they get the money
with which to subsist.

of the fact that DR.. Wilcox had ex-
traeted from Mr.. Charles Schmidt, of
this place, tape worm twenty-four
feet long. DR.. Wilcox is again in the

show window Of Messrs. Schuermann

physiological monstrosities, which
may be seen by all who pass that way
One procured by his skill measures

a great wonder. There arc several
others of various lengths, ranging
from twenty to thirty feet. Doc
tor Wilcox uses medicine

has been eminentlr successful
wherever he has had case. His
testimonials are volumnious, and he
comes to our city with a reputation as a
physician Of which he may feel proud.
The medicine used is a discovery by
the Doctor himself, and has been
used, we are informed, with great sue
cess for many years. All are APP
prised. of the horrible effects
of the presence of one of these
living reptiles in the stomach, and
speedy relief is certainly an end most

ALMOST A FATAL ACCIDENT. -
Yesterday while Mr.. Hines, the gen.
tleman who is experimenting the
boring at the salt well, was passing
the wheel attached TO the engine at
that place, ana used for hauling up the
tools, and for boring in the well, had
his coat caught by rope attached to
the wheel. Instantly he was wound
close to the wheel, and had one of
his arms entangled Mr.. Fred. Eber-
hardt, seeing his perilous condition.
went to his assistance, and in en-
deavoring to extricate him became
entangled himself, the wheel the while
revolving, and winding them closer
and closer. just ut this juncture of
affairs the engine was stopped, aud
the men were both rescued. But for
this it is probable that serious results
would have followed. AS it was, the
engines motion was checked just In
time to prevent serious damage being
done to either party, although the
coat of Mr.. Hines was torn almost to
pieces. 1t was, indeed, fortunate
escape.

IMPORTANT SUIT Decidedly a
private dispatch received hi e yester-
day. we learn that the great suits, so
long pending in the Supreme Court,
between the EVANS heirs and others
who had purchased property of some
of said heirs, have been decided. In
the case of the widow EVANS, the
decision of the lower Court was
affirmed. The widow gets half of the
property and STEVENS half. In the
case of STEVENS against Isaac KEEN,
judgment was rendered in favor of the
defendant. We hope soon to get the
decisions in full, and will publish
them for the benefit of the public.
