Fanny Davenport.

New York Letter to the Chicago Tribunel
In a much more quiet way, Fanny Da-
venport, the actress. is a practical joker,
equal in ingenuity to Sothern. Her
latest achievement was to dress herself
In the costume OF an old lady, with gray
wig, heavy vail, spectacles and all the
accessories. In this picturesque attire
she proceeded in carriage to Daly's
theatre, and called at the box of1ce for
seats for Brougham's benefit. When
the ticket seller offered her the diagram
Of the house, she refused to consult it,
because they always managed to put
people who bought front seats in
the back row. Steve Fiske, and subse.
quently Mr.. DAILY, were called to mollify
the old lady, when Steve suggested that
she take a top box, 50 when the theatre
was turned upside down she would have
a good place. She accepted the sugges-
ton, paid $15, took the ticket, and was
escorted by Fiske in his blandest man
ner to her carriage. He turned to DAILY
as she crossed the sidewalk, and half
whipsered, Crazy as q loon" As he
handed the old lady into the carriage
he inquired whittier she would go.
Here is the address, replied the old
lady, pushing her wig aside and hand
ing out her card. It read, "Miss Fanny

now is, Will you take a top-foor

A Picnic on the MIsalssinDj.

Yesterday morning quite large num-
Der of picniokers embarked upon a
barge drawn by the gallant tug N. NJ.
Jones, and proceeded down the river for
a days pleasure on the banks Of the
Mississippi. At 8 o'clock, the party
being aboard and everything in readi-
ness, the barge left the head OF Canal
street and started for the Twelve Mile
Point, below the city. A fine band was
in attendance, and the greater part OF
the day was spent in dancing on the
barge, and the scene was quite pic
turesque as the rosy-cheeked maidens
with their partners glided gracefully
over the. barge in the giddy mazes of the
dance.
After n few hours ride a sylvan glade
was reached and the party amused
themselves by rambling through the
woods gathering wild flowers. At Q
o'clock the tug sounded melodious
whistle and the party were invited to
partake of a delightful collation. which
had been delicately prepared by the
dainty fingers Of the fairer sex. The
success OF hoentertainment was main
ly due to the conscious and able man
agement of the affair by Captains II. p.
McNealy, ". H. Wrigley and Ford
and their respective families

HEAVY SUIT.
Against Chas. r. Howard, President, and
Others Of the Lottery Company.
The Private Rocks and Papers OF the
Concern Called For.

Henry Da Ponta. of Galveston, q stock
President and directors of the com
pany; charges that the directors have
appropriated to themselves $50 shares
Of the stock of the Company, and in
addition thereto allotted $50 shares to
John A. Morris, the same appearing as
full paid stock, although no amount
whatever was ever paid and said Morris
never having paid Il cent thereon. That
the number of shares allotted and APP
propriated amountto $500 Many other
matters Of the same nature are charged.
Petitioner AYERS that the contractors,
Howard Il Morris, have netted SO 200, 900.
for only One-half Of which they have
accounted for to the corporation The
petition further charges fraud on the
part Of the contractors in diverting the
profits Of the concern to their own uses
and to other persons having no right to
them.
Among other things petitioner calls
for the private books and papers of the
contractors.
From the suit it appears that the con-
tractors have taken the stock entrusted
to them for sale. to go to making up tho
capital OF the concern, and sold it and
pocketed the money, the tune being
some four or five hundred thousand dol
lars, and have been making up the CAPT
tai since from the dividends.
That portion relating to the private
books and memoranda OF Howard.
which are required to be produced, may
show where certain moneys have gone,
and will, il proved, doubtless involve
many OF our worthy legislators.

The California mustang race against
time was decided yesterday at Fleet
wood Park, in favor OF time, as the rider,
George Parker, was 50 exhausted he had
to be carried off the track at the close
OF the 22Gth mile. He was then 40 min
utes 6 8-9 seconds behind time. Although
Parker failed to accomplish the tremen-
douS feat Of riding 305 miles In fifteen
hours, 1t Is by no means certain that
under more favorable circumstances he
will not be able to complete 1t. Yester-
day morning the weather was not en-
couraging, and he was annoyed by the
behavior OF the mustangs, some of
which were perfectly unmanageable
with the simple curb bit that had been
substituted in some instances to please
the satellites Of Mr.. Bergh. Second,
the track was very heavy, and tho
horses did not make the time that they
would have done on a good day. Third,
when he changed his wet clothes he was
delayed about eight minutes, and that
he was forced to make the change will
be easily understood when it Is known
that they weighed fifteen pounds when
taken off his back. Such burden OF
wet clothing Is certainly not likely TO
assist a man, especially at time when
he was to undergo a severe trial OF en-
durance. There were other minor causes
that delayed him on his journey, go that
there are still hopes the gallant Califor-
man may be more successful on some
future occasion.

suicide and CLEANED the following partie-

1t appears that for some time past
Gautier has been suffering under fits of
temporary insanity, which caused him
some time ago to leave his family. Re
Gently. after long absence. he returned
home. AS stated by his family, there
was something preying upon his mind
which, regardless Of the earnest persua-
sions OF his wife. he refused to di-
yulge. On Sunday morning his
daughter was reused from her slum-
Der by hearing something fall in
her fathers room, but paying no at
tention TO it, was soon lost in sleep
At 6 o'clock the family awoke, and on
opening the door Of the apartment, dis
covered the dead body Of A. Gautier
dangling between heaven and earth, he
having committed suicide during the
night by hanging himself with clothes
line Near the deceased was q chair
from which he had taken the fatal leap,
but the fall not being sufficient to break
his neck, he died from strangulation.
This was the noise that his daughter
heard about Q o'clock. The deceased

their sad loss.

Railroad interests I'm Mexico
louisville Courier Journal ]

Just now, when the cut -throats Of Diaz
are roaming through certain portions Of
Mexico, railroad investments in that
country are neither safe nor profitable.
Not long ago Gen. Figuero, desperate
Of no ordinary ability, captured a freight
and passenger train on the Vera Cruz
and City Of Mexico Railroad. After
plundering the train he ordered the en-
gineers to put on full head Of steam
and allow the locomotives to collide
and wreck the other. which was done in
magnificent style, and at an expense to
the English company which controls
the road Of over 100000. President
Lerdo's Government will, OF course,
have to pay for this vandalism in the
course Of time.

The Benefit to Mr. CanOngp.

The benefit rendered last night at the
Opera House by the Association Ora
matique Louisianaise" to the director.
Mr.. l.. Placide Canonge, attracted u
large audience and was the occasion OF q
marked success for the members Of tho
association who took part in the plays
The first q comedy, "Un Monsieur qui
Prend du Ventre, was pleasantly rem
dered, rs was Theo. Barnere's charming
play Of lie Parisiens de La Deca-
dence," intended as q sequel to
"The Marble Heart This play,
however, owing to its finesse and
the intricacies Of its situations
probable the most difficult in this re-
spect of the French repertoire proved
to be somewhat Of task for the young
amateurs, but not sufficiently to deny
them the credit OF having acquitted
themselves creditably.
1.-The closing piece, Les 81 Sous de
Mr.. Montaudoin," is one Of the funniest
farces that was ever presented on the
French stage, and was admirably
played, particularly by Messrs. Edgar
Pile and Honore Dessommes. Mr..
Pile deserves the highest compliment
for the manner in which he personated
Mr. Montaudoin. 1t was drawn to the
life and played with spirit of comicality
seldom to be met with in amateurs.

Shakespeare at the depot yesterday.
There was no name in it, but as the
margin was marked with such comments
as ''crudely expressed" 'plagiarized

for same thought" and a slip Of paper
with directions for knitting woolen
stockings was in it for a book mark, the
