A LIBEIOUS LETTER

RESULTING IN A CRIMINAL PRosBC0RroN.
Adolph Liebschutz has brought criminal suit
against Webb McNall for libel. Both parties
are from Kansas, and the libelous publication
caused the complainant the loss Of clerkship
in tho Treasury Department, McNall, who
was formerly doorkeepcr Of the Kansas Legis-
lature, is now q special policeman at the Cap-
itol. The information against him sets forth
that In communication 10 T. C. II. Smith
appointment clerk of the Treasury Depart
mcnt, in reference to Licbschutz, he hbeled him
in the following statement: That during the
session Of the Kansas Legislature of 1876 said
Liebschutz was continuously about the build.
ing, and at one time he, during said session,
carried off tho ovcrcoat of one John Carter
the first assistant doorkeeper Of the Legislature
at that time; and at one other time William
Irving, the postmaster Of said Legislature, de.
tected Liebschutz trying to steal fur cap and
pair Of fur gloves from the post Office, and,
| when detected, ran out Of tho ROOM"
The case had been set for trial In the POLES
Court yesterday, but when II was called coun.
sci for McSall stated that important witnesses
| for the defense were now In Kansas, and would
not be In this city until the meeting of Con
gress He could clearly prove the truth Of hi,
clients statement by them, and for that pur
pose asked that the case be postponed till th,
18th Of October. The prosecuting attorney de
muned to this, and the Court continued tn,
case till to-day, when some definite conclusion
could DO reached.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE NATIONAL THEATRE.

Despite the inclement night there was fair
audience in attendance at the National thea
tire last evening to witness the second repre-.
scntation Of Otto" Tho play improves on
acquaintance, and Mr.. Geo. q. Knight, who
has the leading character, Is given full scope
to display his versatility. His broken Ger
man dialect is In perfect imitation Of the half
Amcricanizcd Teuton, and the best thus far
seen on tho stage His acting Is good and
reading excellent, especially where he calls In
use the pathos to express the feelings Of unre-
Quilted love. The author evidently knew the
capabilities Of the star for whom he was weav-
Ing play, and has fitted him TO nature In the
character drawn and given him to dclineate.
Misses Sophie and Irene Worrell both make
the most Of their assignment Their singing
and performance on the "xylophon" produced
the hearty encore Of which It was deserving.
The remaining members Of the company
handle the respective parts entrusted to them
very well, and rendered all the assistance
necessary TO the correct rendition Of the piece.
Otto ought to succeed, aud Mr.. Knight not
only has future in II, but will draw from Il
a reputation that will stand equal to that at
tained by any character actor. Next Friday
night Mr.. Knight will appear In "B. F. b." in
which he will make up as Ben Butler, a char.
acter IN which he Is said to DO immense.

tract for 1880 year, payable In monthly In

subject 10 which he stated that there were
now 450 pumps In the city In good condition.
He did not think that either Of the PROPOSE

work out by contract, and was satisfied that
the repairs would not be as we'll done as under
the existing system.
The Commissioners referred the papers to
Engineer Hoxie with directions that he would
transfer the charge Of pumps to the water
registrar, who will adopt such methods for
their care as he deems most advantageous to
the service. The papers would be transmitted
for his examination, and all tools and mate

The pumps and their repairs and supervision
have always been under the charge of the

Commissioners propose to change the RESPONSE

THE DEMAND FOR ADMISSION TO
THE SCHOOLS

The supervising principals of the several
school districts have been kept very busy
for the past two days in receiving applications
for admission to the schools. 1t Is estimated
that the increase Of school attendance this
year over last year will be 1900.
The pupils who were ON the rolls at the
close of last year have been received and as
signed to classes, and yesterday the principals
were busy In issuing tickets. Many Of those
who apply for the tickets are new comers, and
the rest are composed of those who were
dropped from the rolls before the close of the
last year. Eight hundred tickets have al.
ready been issued by Principal Copp Of the
First district, and the other districts will
make as large showing proportionately.
The number Of scholars Is increased by large
additions every year, and the appropriations
are diminished. Sixty Is the maximum num-
Der for each class, but some Of tho classes at
the beginning of the year are necessarily much
larger until matters can be Strengthened out
and new classes made up, or surplus scholars
assigned to classes that are not full. The rush
on the PRINCIPALS for admission Is very great,
but they will be unable to give figures until
the end Of the present week.

ELSEWHERE,
WHY DIGGs WANTS A DIVORCE,

Thomas J. Digs desires that the bond of
matrimony which he contracted in December,
1865, with Rebecca F. Diggs, may be loosened,
or unloosened, whichever the Equity Court of
the District shall choose. From the statement
Of Dggs, which he has sworn to for the in
formation Of the judge holding the Equity
term, he cannot be blamed for seeking to get
rid of his companion. He says that when he
went to Cape May in 1869 he left his wife in
Philadelphia. She became intimately ac-
quaiDtcd with one Warren Middleton, with
whom, IN the home Of her absent husband, she
frequently became impressed with the idea
that Middleton was her husband.
lie further states as the result Of his inqui-
rics as 10 his wilc's present course Of life, lib
erty and pursuit of happiness, that "she is now
living questionable life In the city Of Phila-
delphia, and when last heard from had as
sumcd the namc Of another paramOur."
Under these circumstance, the court will
doubtless think that he should have another
chance at domestic happiness, and will, some
time about Christmas, decree divorce In the
case of Digs VS.. Diggs
