THE ENTERTANMENT or THE CON-
CLUB The entertainment Of the Coy
Club on "Wednesday night. was richly On.
Joyed by large and appreciatiye audience.
The iirst part Of the programme was per.
formed by the young ladies or the Presby-
terrain High School, and consisted OF music
and songs, charades, tsbleaux and bur-
lesques. The music and songs were highly
enjoyable, especially the Little Brown
Jug" sung and acted 10 the life, and a
''Shlp burning at sea" also splendldly rem
dered. In the eh&radeI and bUTlesques,
several OF the ladies eyinced decided talent,
and the corr ectness Of their conceptions OF
the characters dslineated, were truly sur
prising. In truth, more talent we have
never seen displayed by young amateurs,
than the Coy Club displayed on the sight
of the 18th. Long live the cozy Club.
The I'd Actoi Shakespear's great tragedy,
Julius Cesar" was was well presented BY
young men Of the city. Indeed we doubt
If any body Of amateurs ever more correct
ly interpreted or presented that sublime act
Their performance was highly creditable,
and the audience enjoyed it TO the en- core.
We heartily congratulate the young men
on their success.
The Coy Club gave another OF their
charming entainments on THURSDAY night,
and Notwithstanding the mud, rain and
cold, drew a large audience. We regret
that we were not in attendance, but learn
that the performance WIS brilliant and de-
lightful. The Club will give another en-.
on New Years night. We re-
peat, long live the irresistible and charming
Coy Club
DEATH IN A SALooN.-On Thursday
about 0 o'clock, Elisha Bailey, who
lived about miles Northeast Of the city,
walked into Hughes Saloon, on Lafay site
street, and took seat with his back TO the
stove. After sitting still for some time he
moved his chair of a little and in an in
slant his head fell forward over the back OF
the chair and mis- arms dropped listless by
his side. Mr.. Mason thinking him asleep
took hold OF him to wake him up and dis
covered that be was dead. A jury Of in
quest wss held and after a careful exami-
aation Of the case, assisted BY DR.. Newton,
the verdict that he came 10 his
leath from heart disease. Bailey came to
he city on Wednesday, accompanied by
bis little son, got on q spree and was drink
ng at the time OF his death. He was sub
ect to similar attacks when drinking and
we learn had been frequently warned BY
bis family physician TO abstain from drink
or he would soon meet just such death as
overlook him on Thursday. He was a twin
son of the late Burnley Bailey, and was
about 80 years Of age Some years ago he
married his twin brothers widsw, formerly
A Miss Jackson, and daughter Of Lewis
jackson. Over forty-fve dollars was
found on his person. Friends placed his
body in 4 coffin and sent it home in the
evening. The emotions of the wife, when
The meets the dead instead of the living
he torture OF heart when she learns that
ler husband "died in Saloon" language
,snnot paint.
AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.--On
night last noise was heard by
Sheriff May in the cell OF the Jail occupied
BY William Lyon, Robert Jackson and
William Davis. The Sheriff promptly sum-
nOned posse and repaired to the cell. On
opening the door all three prisoners were
ound to be loose, having cut their way out
II the iron cage in which they were con-
ined. Several files and large buite were
ound IN their possession. The files were
lsed in cutting the bars of the iron cage,
and the knife for working the brick oHt Of
he wall. How these tools found their way
nto the cell is matter Of conjecture
some suppose that they were handed tbro'
he window on a pole; but the cell being
a the second story makes this an exceed
nsly doubtful superstition. Others suggest
hat Lyons wife, whe visited him frequent
y with food, concealed the tools in the
bread, and thus conveyed the means of
,scape. However, nothing definite is
Known. Lyon is confined for murder COM
nitted IN this city some months ago. Jack
ION, for murder committed in LRuderdsle
county, and is here awaiting the issue Of
IN appeal 20 the Supreme Court. Davis,
or murder in Decatur county, also await
ug final decision by the Supreme Court.
{ is we'll that Capt.. May got assistance be-
ore entering the cell, for otherwise he
would have been ovcrpowered, il not
lllled, and the prisoners. doubtless, made
heir escape.
Cot. HoGANs' CARD.-ln the Plain
Dealer, OF the 18th, Col. Jno. T. Hogan pub
ishes a card in whish he states that. he was
not preseRt at the Foster and O'Bryan
rial, mentioned in our last weeks issue;
hat he did not apologize to defendants
counsel; that hi, brother, Jas. C. Hogan
vas the prosecuting attorney in the case,
md that he did not apologize 70 any one
md further, that our article on the trial
ustites the suspicion that it was the inten-
ion of the writer TO be very severe on him.
COI. Hogan.
In the first place we were not present at
he trial, but was told by O'Bryau before
I came of, that Col. Hogan had been en-
ployed against him. After the trial we
with several who witnessed it,
md they referred to the prosecuting ccun-
'el as Hogan" and hence we published
he colonel as the prosecutors attorney.
In the second place the evening, az
er O'Bryan was discharged, we conversed
n the office OF Redwine's Hotel, with Mr..
J. Il. Caruthers, defendants counsel, Messrs.
Jacobs and O'Bryan on the sub
ect Of the trial. One Of these gentlemen,
n speaking Of O'Bryan's triumphant vim
lication, stated that "Hogan remarked
cunning out Of the Csurs House that, had
be known the strength OF the evidence in
O'Brysn's favor, he would have advised
his client not to bring suit or something
to that effect, and Mr.. O'Bryan, who was
excited, used the word apologize" evil
IDENTIFY taking Mr.. Hogan's remark in that
sense.
Our Article was written hastily that even
ing. as we had TO leave the next morning,
and had considerable writing other to do.
The above is simple statement of the facts,
