The GREAT wAIrzrso MArcH.-Last

The GREAT WALTz1Ne MATcH.-Last
evening Piper's Opera House con-
tanned a numerous and festive terpsi-
chorean assemhlage, drawn together to
enjoy the pleasures of the fantastic toe
exercise, and to witness the great
waltzing match between William Dan
iels and Dan Lyons the well-known
teacher Of dancing. At quarter past
ten o'clock the great match COM
menced, lasting about half an hour.
Daniels had Mrs. Ingralam for his
partner, and Mrs. Shellenger was the
partner of Lyons. Each couple
waltzed five minutes at time, Daniels
and partner taking the initiative, each
time adopting q change In style. Jas.
| Phelan, A. V. Comstock and George
Currie, the referees, stood In the mid
die of the floor, while the dress circle
and other convenient places were oc-
cupied by other dancers and spectators,
forming . cen of peculiar interest.
The music was by jacobson, Ingra-
ham, Pryor, Rippingham and others.
Both parties proved themselves most
admirable walters, especially the Ia
dies, and each meritorious effort was
rewarded by loud applause from the
pleased and observant audience. Mr..
Lyons was finally declared to be the
winner. After this the ball pro-
crossed till toward morning, when all
hands concluded to go home.
ANOTHER JUVENILE RAPE CASE
We made a brief mention In yester-
days News, of another rape case and
the arrest of the supposed perpetrator.
We find 1t was one Of which we were
informed three or four weeks ago, but
which ut the request Of the mother of
the little victim and Town Marshal
Harkin, we refrained from publishing.
A little girl, some five or six years Of
age, daughter Of a widow residing In
this town, was outraged, and the crime
was imputed to a certain man, yet
the proof was not strong enough to
Justify stringent measures toward him.
The child suffered considerably in coll
sequence Of the outrage, but is now
nearly or quite recovered. During tho
great excitement consequent upon the
rape Of yesterday, this other case was
revived and made public, resulting in
the suspected nan being arrested. Be-
Ing taken before the little girl. how
ever, she failed to recognize him, and
he was accordingly released.

tofore inadvertently omitted to men,
ton that at the grand ball given the
