SAD AFFAIR.-Monday, while q number of
boys and girls from the city were Maying at
Cape Elizabeth, a lad named Eugene Leon ard
was fearfully wounded by pistol in the hands
of another boy. The circumstances were as
follows:-One Regan had in his possession
six-barreled revolver, when Patrick Kerrigan
said to him, 'Let me have your pistol and I'll
make Leonard give me something to eat"
Approaching Leonard and holding the pistol
close to bis face he said, "Give me something
to eat or I'll shoot you." Leonard put his
hand in his lunch basket as if about to grant
the request when the pistol went off and the
charge (of powder only) went into one side Of
his face, destroying the eye, it is sail, and
lacerating the flesh In a shocking manner.
The boy was brought home and a physician
called to attend his wounds. Kerrigan ran
away, but officer Hanson succeeded in obtain
ing the pistol, which is an old affair." Kerri-
gan shot boy with the same weapon last
summer. The full extent of Leonards wounds
are not ascertained, but it is feared that they
will prove severe if not extremely dangerous

ST PAUL's FEsTIvAL.-The entertainment
offered by the ladies' of st. Paurs parish was
well patronized by our citizens last evenings
City Hall being we'll filed both down stairs
and in the galleries The stage was arranged
with great taste, large number of young
spruce trees decorated with Chinese lanterns
having been placed on either side Of the cur
tain while the wall and windows in the rear
were prettily draped with flags. The perform
ance commenced with charming musical pre-
iude In which great number of little children
took part, who attired in their white dresses
decorated with flowers, looked Just as cunning
as could be, while they sang their little song
with great taste and with wonderful precis-
ion for such little fols. The features of the pre-
lude were the dances, Jack in the Green, Rose
Wreaths, and Daisy Chain, which were very
prettily executed. The Operetta that followed
was musical composition of considerable pre-
tension, and the young misses sang the diff
cult concerted music with great skill. Many
OF the costumes were particularly rich and
tasty, as for instance those of the gipses. Sew
eral OF the young ladies who assumed charac-
ters are deserving of particular mention, but as
we had no programme we cannot specify them
here, neither would it be right where all were
amateurs. The braidng of the May Pole, the
old fashioned May Day games delighted the
spectators and the Groupings of Statuary were
very beautiful. The ladies of the parish are es-
pecially deserving of creIit for the skill and
ability displayed in getting up such charm

The .sReu. Day, at the French rhentr

The Gre. Dayo Mt the French Theatre.
Yesterday about IL O'Clock few unhappy look
ing gentlemen assembled in front OF the French
theatre in Fourteenth street. Among them were
Mr.. William Butler Duncan Mr.. s. Solomon, and
MIR. Frederick Pullman, the first principal stock
holder OF the French theatre, the second charge
daflares for Mr.. Grau and the last present lessee
of the theatre Mr.. Grau being in Europe, OF
he was physically ncapacitated from attending. To
give the reason OF this meeting 1t is necessary to
go some way back in the history OF the theatre In
the spring OF 1869 the French Theatre was without
lessee. Mr.. Bateman and Mr.. Grau both endea-
yored to get it. Mr. Grau offered the most and the
yearly rent OF $4,000, comprising the house on Fiji
teenth street. AT that time Mr.. Grau was quite
engagement. Mr.. Grau paid down $4,000 deposit,
ana commenced Immediately to improve and
snarge the theatre nat at cost Of Il. some
risk and he was supposed to get the
benefit OF the enlargement. Immediately after this
Mr.. Graus opera 6Ou0e company came over from
lost great deal OF money for its manager In fact,
gradually got behind hand in his rent. When the
opera bOu6e broke up Mr. Grau was some $4,000 be-
hind hand, and during the summer, the theatre be-
ing untenanted, the matter got worse and worse,
until Mr.. Grau in despair vouchsafed some property
he possessed TO meet the demandso the stockholders
who were rather hard him, considering that he had
made such notable improvements ana been TO such
expense for their theatre. Again. lately, Grau got
in debt for rent and, when owing some $4,000 here
he suddenly left for Europe leaving his affairs in
very bad state OF collapse Immediately Mr.. Dun
can the banker commenced suit in the Supreme
Court against Grau TO dispossess him on ac-
count Of non-payment OF rent. 1t was on this
decision that the sale took place yesterday. The
lease first put up for sale for the three years
and half unexpired term, and after some de-
suItory bidding was Knocked down to Maurice
Friend for $500. 1t was announced then that
anybody who sought Grau's unexpred lease
would have to pay Grau's arrearage OF rent,
amounting to l2,06O besides the 10000 year. But
Mr. Friend paid his deposit like a man. Then the
costumes scenery, and properties OF Mr.. Grau were
put up. AS they were not exhibited, though the list
seemed very long, no one knew what they were.
The highest bid was James H. TaylOr's, stage mana
ger of the Grand Opera House, to whom they were
Knocked down for 5000. 1t seems doubtful whether
he will get them, however, as Mr. Duncan in leav-
ing enioined that nothing be allowed to leave the
theatre without his permisson.-MY y. Herald to-day

MAY DAY.-The at-one-time festival of the
first of May will tomorrow make its debut for
the present season. The sweet the balmy May
will tomorrow open its lovely arms and receive
us to its soft embrace. How lovely, how
divinely sweet the thought! This present con-
dtion of the thought is appropriate under the
existing circumstances of clear sky and summer
air. Should the dawn of tomorrow, however,
bring a northeaster, a dull, sullen rain, or an
overcast sky, the metaphor should not be SO
expressed. The embrace would then be one of
coldness, and, consequently, disagreeable. The
loving arms of Queen of the May, no matter
who she might be, would then be decidedly
preferable. But alas! that time-honored institu-
ton is now no more. We no longer dance
around a liberty-pole crowned with flowers,
having for our mistress the prettest girl in the
neighborhood. Every one now selects his own
May Queen and dances around her and with
her to his hearts content But such is life.

The death OF this distinguished parsonage is re-
ported by cable. Prince Demdofr came of very
wealthy and distinguished Russian family, and was
born in Florence in 1912. He was made Prince of
San Donate by the Grand Duke OF Tuscany ana
married the Princess Mathide de Montfort daughter
Jerome Bonaparte and Catherine Of Wurtemburg,
but having obliged himself to bring up his children,
should any be born, in the Roman Catholic religion,
contrary to the rule OF his country and his own
religion, he lost for some time the favor Of the En-
perOr Nicholas He was summoned home to answer
his ohense His marriage, however, had no issue
and was soon dissolved. On the outbreak of the
Russian war against Turkey in 1853 he was attached
to the Russian Legation at Vienna and made Coun-
cOr of State. On various occasions he evinced
lberalty not inadequate TO his immense possessions
by donations and foundations for public charity and

About O'Clock last night, says the Louisville
Journal of Thursday, a man made his appearance
the ,rner OF Fourth and Green streets, whose
actions created some excitement. He started
minstrel show, and told the boys who had congre'
johnny Allen does "Josephus Orange Blossom" and
after singing awhile he danced. Just as he was
dancing after the last verse street came along
when he ran out and stopped the car TO tell the
driver that the 'wheels had been turning" The
driver seeing that he was fooled started on with the
and following the car, dashed It under the wheels
throwing the car Off the track, when 1t run

street cars, and these he watched sharply unti he
got chance to repeat the act the next ear which
he succeeded i'm. Finally, ne went a little beyond
Walnut street TO a lot where some trees had been
recently cut down, and, getting three four large
limbs from them, he again went for the cars by
placing them, one at time, under the wheels, and
every time would make complete success In throw
ing the cars into the gutter. After he had thrown
eight ten cars In the gutter, little boy who was
passing near the Opera House informed Ohcer
Dennis Meagher of the strange mans doDgs, and
the officer Immediately went alter him When
foU&d he fought manfuly, and said that he was
