Ing an injudicious advocate of the
French very handsomely In an up
town saloon. The police have been
unsuccessfully trying TO interview
Quigley ever since. About 8 O'Clock
this morning, ut an uptown saloon,
one Cornishnan Strengthened his arm
from the shoulder and very efEectually
floored another who was In front Of
his fist. Then he jumped on him and
had just sailed In for a jolly clog dance
on his ribs when officer Newhouse ran
In and took this festive cuss to the cal
aboose. There were one or two less
important discussions about town,
American Flat and vicinity. Up at
Virginia, about 8 o'clock last evening.
a teamster familiarity known as "Deaf
Bill" concluded to slaughter Major
Ferrend, because he wouldn't lend him
four bits to get drunken OH than he
already was. He whetted up his throat
Ing knife and followed Ferrend down c
street to Sutton avenue where with the
remark Of "You son OF a BITCH" he
sprang forward Ike a tiger and jabbed
the knife toward his jugular, but only
succeeded In making a hole through
the coat and other clothing of his left
shoulder. Then he made q desperate
dig at his face and slashed the rim Of
his hat through to his forehead. but did
not succeed In even scratching his skin.
The Major calamity responded with y
good square blow Of his fist In Bill's
face. which caused the blood to fly
handsome, and then got his Deringer
out, aud would have extinguished his
light had he not lodged behind the
numerous people passing, and ran of
furiously up street, yelling murder"
ut the top Of his voice. He ran up
on D street to the Courthouse,
where he gave himself up to Sheriff
Cummings, declaring that he had
"just killed a man-killed Major Fer
rend." He was taken down to the
station-house and locked up for future
reference. His cries of "Murder !"
as he al along up street were mis-
taken for "Fire !" and directly the
alarm bells sounded in consequence,
sending the lively boys of the Fire De-
partment with their machines in all
directions. Some of them waXed quite
profane W it, and a fight could have
been got out of any of them without
half trying. It's no use, II this Infer
nal hot weather continues; something
will have to DO done, especially here
in Gold Hill. Men are getting partic-
ularly wolfish, and rel the most
peaceable experience an almost ire
sistible desire to fight. They naturally
double up their fists when the fit
comes upon them, and belt away ut
the first fellow who comes handy.
Stand out Of the way Of a Gold Hitler
when you see his shoulders humping |
and the ends Of his fingers beginning
to crook up.
The LECTURE To-NIGHT.-Pursuant
to notice, Mrs. Laura DeForce Gordon
will give her lecture OH "woman's
acknowledgements" ut the Methodist
Church, Virginia, this evening. COM
mencing at 8 o'clock. We copy the
following remarks from the Carson
Appeal Of this morning, rs eminently
appropriate to the occasion: "For her
zeal and courage in the work In which
she is engaged, with her pleasing ad-
dress and ability. Mrs. Gordon merits
her reputation as a popular and
effective lecturer. The discussion Of
this question is timely, Of political
interest, and the success Of the move
ment believed, by Its numerous and
increasing advocates, to be a measure
fraught with good to the human race.
Without unwarnntably expressing a
reporters opinion IN favor Of the
measure, IL IS perhaps admissible to
say that the subject being q question
| Of the day, Of political significance, |
| and the occasion the appearance Of an
eminent advocate of the measure, Mrs. |
Gordon's lecture should by all means
be well attended"
The ALHAMBRA.-This very social
and festive theater was favored with
its usual good attendance last evening.
Lindsay's songs, Campbell's dances,
Painters gymnastics, and the various

were well received, with their due
need Of applause. Just take n look
Mt the choice bill for this evening.
Everything red hot, yet served up In a
cool place.
