CUTTING AFFRAY.
A China Cook Stabbed by White
Waiter---The Cook Not Expected
to Live.
Yesterday afternoon about l o'clock
William Ibbatson. known as Billy" or
"Bonesey," waiter in the Barnum Res
taurant. on Meadow Valley street, had
quarrel with Sin All Ching. a Chinese
cook employed at the same place. 1t
seems that the quarrel began about either
wrong order, or the misconstruction Of
an order given by the waiter to the cook
for dinner. We we're I'D by another
Chinaman employed in the kitchen, that
All Ching had dropped the quarrel
and was STOPPING down near the
range, when suddenly the waiter
came behind him with the knife and
stabbed him. The knife is large, long
meat-knife such as is usually used in
hotels and restaurants. Drs. Bishop
and Lee were called as soon as the affair
had occurred At the time the full ex-
tent of the wound could not be learned.
1t is clean cut in the left side, pene-
trating to the abdominal cavity. We
found the wounded man on narrow
side-board, in room by the side of the
kitchen. He kept his body raised by
holding himself up as if he feared it
would pain him to lie down naturally.
He was taken to wash-house in China
town, where he now lies, apparently in
great pain. The physicians say that he
will probably die, though he has a
chance for life. Up to 2o'clock this
morning he was still living end able to
speak nationally.
THE PRISONER S STATEMENT
Yesterday evening our reporter visited
the prisoner in the Jail, and he made the
following statement:
~ gave the Chinaman an order-he
cooked two orders. He said, You Cd
d--n s-n of b-h, three times, why
don't you take it away He then struck
me on the shoulder with two dishes he
had in his hands. He grabbed knife
also, but | got it away from him some-
how. He still clinched me, and I cut
him.

BRowN's HALL.-Last night the beau
tiful comedy "Pygmalion and Galetea,
was again presented at this hall. o.
account of the sudden and unlocked TO
indisposition ~ Of Thayer, the part o
"Pygmalion" was read by Dudley. Ant
We must say that. considering the shor
time he had for preparation, the readin,
was very good. Sallie Hinckley was o
course the center Of attraction. She was
II possible more beautiful as the statue
and more lovely as the woman than OF
the previous night. In her rendering o
the part Of Galatea she is most pleasing
perhaps. in the more pathetic portions
to which her voice seems peculi
arly fitted. George F. Bird play
ed Leusippe. Bella Bird as Ceynescs
the beautiful wife of Pygmalion, please
every one and did justice to her parl
which. though not the FIRST, is one re
quiring talent. On the whole, there wer
comparatively few of those errors whic
are always sure to be made in the mino
parts, and the many who were present wer
much pleased with the entertainment,
We understand that Dudley will take til
part of Manual. for which part Thaye

will play "Dr. Desmaret" in the "Rc
