Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald: From gentle
men who arrived yesterday, per steamer Katie,
We learn the particulars Of most unfortunate
affair which occurred in Greenville on Thurs
day. From the facts elected it appears that
on Thursday morning Mr.. Stone, cashier OF
Worthington, Buckner 4 Co. g bank, went to
the store of Messrs. Brown Il Harding and pre-
sented to Mr.. Brown a note which had fallen
due on lot purchased by that firm. Mr..
Brown refused payment of the note on the
ground that the title was not perfect, and
stated that he would continue to refuse pay
meut until the title was made perfect. Stone
said to him:
'Your partner is satisfied with the title >
and then, after some further conversation, in
which Brown maintained his position, Stone
said to him ''You are no gentleman. He
had started toward the door as he made the
angry remark, it is said, and Brown reached
for an iron poker as he asked, "Did you say I
was no gentleman ?" and started toward him.
Stone turned and replied: eyes, said So"
and, drawing his pistol, fred. Another state
menf is that Stone drew his pistol and fired
at Brown while he was reaching downward
for the poker Be it as it may the shot was
fred with fatal effect, passing directly through
the heart, killing him instantly. Immediate
~ after the unfortunate affair Mr.. Stone gave
himself up to the Sheriff, who committed him
to Jail,

THE CITY.

| BURGLARY.-Oficer Cheevers arrested young
thief named A. G. Christophle. at o'clock last
night, at the corner Of Calliope and Magazine
! streets, on the complaint Of Mr.. George p.
Quinn, the clerk at tse Jackson Railroad Depot.
The prisoner, it appears, got in through the
window of the Office, in the absence of the clerk,
who discovered HIM on his retur:, and charged
HIM with burglary. There was nothing carried
away, although he had fixed several boxes Of
cigars which were ready to be taken off easy at
| any time.
CLOTHES THIEF.-Edward Brown was marched
into the First Precinct Station at o'clock last
evening, from the corner OF Commerce and Julia
streets, on the complaint of Mrs. Schumacher,
who states that Edward carried away $50 worth
of clothing from her house.
RoBBERY.-Mrs. E. 81. Kruse was arrested on
| q warrant, at No. 1879 Lafayette street, at las
o'c ock yesterday, at the instance of Mrs Ellen
Jafrey, who contends that she has been robbed.
ACCESSORY TO THE SHOOTING IN THE GAMBLING
HE'LL: Manuel, who done part of the shoot
ing on the morning Of the 18th instant, in the
notorious "Senate Exchange in which J. H.
Bolton and w. H. Brand were dangerously
wounded, and who made his escape, was at half
past O'Clock last night arrested at the above
resort by officer Maurice, who charges him from
information received with having done the shoot
ina.
BADLY BURNED.-About AS o'clock last even
ing little boy named George, aged years, a
son of DR.. Bayou, who resides at 1875 Bourbon
street. near Toulouse, was q accidentally burned
and seriously injured. The child, it seems, was
playing with matches in his m others bedroom
and set the mosquito bar on fire.
An OpPoRTUNE HINT.-K the police are more
than ordinarily idle at this particularly peaceful
juncture of affairs, splendid field of operation
for their services offers in the vicinity Of the
French Market. This interesting locality, in ad-
dition to the many novelties for which it has
been 80 long and SO justly celebrated, is now in
tested with gaming stands and stalls to an extent
scarcely dreamed of by people not residing in
that section of the city. or course. such an Of
Tense against peace and morality cannot be car
ried on without the knowledge or sanction of the
police. and it ia high time they acted in the mat
ter. No single one OF the duties for which the
police is paid is OF more importance than the sup
preston OF these gaming stands, and if the
police captain Of the district does not realize this
fact in ali its fullness and entirety it is time his
superiors in Office took the important matter in
hand.

AMUsEMENTS

VARIETIES THEATER.-The reception given the
Fifth Avenue Combination Troupe here, even
though our times have been so troublous, ought
certainly to be exceedingly gratifying to the indi-
vidual members Of that company. Since their
arrival here they have been the recipients of
crowded houses nightly to enjoy the judicious
and careful representations they put upon the
boards OF the latest society plays and they leave
US with the recommendations they SO eminently
deserve
Last night for the close Of their engagement,
they rendered that favorite piece ''Mons. Al
phonse," with Miss Ada Monk as Madame
Guichard. This lady has been unapproachable
in the character; has made many warm friends
here, for her personation gave zest to the piece
which it otherwise would not have had.
ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-Miss Lucille Western
last night enacted the part of Nancy Sykes with
that degree Of heaviness for which the part is SO
exacting.
1t is source of considerable annoyance to
those who have a fine appreciation of dramatic
truths that there should be such display of
blood when there is SO little necessity for such
IN exhibition on a first-class stage.
Miss Western is an artist of rare ability, but
We think she renders the characters like Nancy
much too coarse for her artistic abilities. OF
course Miss Western is the best judge of her own
capacities. but we venture the suggestion that
there should be less play upon the sensa-
tional and more attention to the real necessities
OF true dramatic requirements. We appreciate
careful performance, but in our judgment can
not give our appreciation to that of last night.
81. CHARLES THEArER-Last night, Miss Ada
Gray appeared at this theater as Ruth Tredgett,
in "Charity," to very respectable.a
Her rendition Of the character was fully in keep
ing with her reputation as an excellent actress,
and as such met with full recognition from those
who witnessed the performance. The support
was unexceptional, and was deserving of praise
Tonight Miss Gray appears as Leah, the For
saken.

ALFONSO AND GIBRALTAR,

The young King of Spain proposes to Gel
citrate his reign by the recovery of Gibraltar.
but as England will have something to say in
the matter, Alfonso might as we'll try his
hand on the Cuban difficulty and the Virgin
Jus muddle before undertaking so extensive a
job as the recovery by negotiation of the key
to the Mediterranean. Alfonso's domain is
low, sandy isthmus, across which two parallel
rows of sentry boxes mark the Spanish and
English lines. Between these lines is q space
called the "neutral ground" on which neither
power dare set its foot. Some of the most in
teresting memories of Spain cluster about
this celebrated rock, but in 1904 it was cap
tured from the Spaniards by a combined
English and Dutch fleet under Sir George
Rookie and the Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt,
and held till 1913, when it was confirmed to
Great Britain by the treaty of Utrecht. In
1927 the Spaniards attacked it with large
force, but during the siege treaty of peace
was made and England retained her possess
sion. From 1879 to 1888 it sustained, from
the combined land and naval forces of France
and Spain, its most memorable siege. At one
time one thousand pieces of artillery were
turned upon the fortress, while forty-seven
ships of the line and innumerable smaller ves-
sells menaced it by sea, and an army Of forty
seven thousand men conducted the operations
on land. With these preparations one of the
most wonderful cannonadngs known in his
tory was carried on for nearly a whole day,
but the allied batteries were set on fire by the
hot shot from the fortress, and about four
hundred Of their crews, who escaped from
the flames, explosions and drownings, were
saved by the British forces. In 1868 propo-
sal to surrender Gibraltar to Spain was agitated
in England, but it met with no public favor,
and there seems to be no reason for expecting
q more favorable consideration for such q
proposition nov. Neither by force nor diplo-
macy has Spain been able to regain the
stronghold she wrested from the Moors, and
the last Alfonso who undertook the task of
again bringing it under the dominion OF Spain
died before it of the plague. Louisville Cou-

We have been handed the following letter to
one Of our business firms in this city from
leading New York merchant:
Dear Sir Yours of the 9Th inst, countermand-
ing order, is received. You give as . reason the
Northern friends may be gullable enough to
believe his blood and thunder story, and become
alarmed, etc. You need have no fear. Grants
partisan tale Of blood meets with universal dis
gust throughout the entire North. We all know
that the white folks in your State acted entirely
in selt-defense in every case, and know they were
perfec ~ justified in defending their homes,
wives and children from enraged and deluded
negroes melted by the basest of white vsgabonds
to murder, rape and arson. We also know that
Sheridan is q base liar, and i. doing up his tale
OF horror for his master. No one believes him.

1t is very pleasant to announce the immense
sacrifice that Mr.. J. Turcotte is now making. He
is selling his big stock of dry goods at such re-
duced rates that even the natives themselves
would be astonished. Mr.. Bro: seau, the clever
and genial head man there, is always on hand
and both ready and willing to serve all who call
upon them. The white building, corner Baronne
and Canal streets, is the place to get bargains.
