voking epithets to MIR. Hacker, who
In resenting the insult used his cain on
Reece. Reece drew knife, but there
seemed to be doubt as to whether he
tried to use 1t on Hacker. Justice Com.
ing held that, though Reece deserved q
fine, he could not under the warrant,
Impose any. and hence he was dis
charged.
without fear Of contradiction, the
performance of Callender's Georgia min.
strals, at the atheneum last night may be
pronounced the best minstrel entertain
ment ever given in this city. There is a
freshness and completeness about the
whole, which entities them TO the fullest
yraise. The fun Is unlimited and con.
tinuous, and refinement marks every por.
ton OF the entertainment. We do not
remember to have seen an audience more
delighted than was last nights assem-
blage. AS for the whole evenings en-
joyment,it may be characterized as novel,
from the fact that 1t is native and not
Initiative; commendable, because 1t is
wholly refined, and most pleasant be-
cause 1t is artistic. The best songs we
have ever heard from Ministries are given
by this troupe. In every way the audi
ence was delighted. No question Is made
of the assertion that this troupe sur
passes all other organizations of the kind.
The performances are the most artistic,
refined. and thoroughly enjoyable of any
ever given here, and absolutely the best
we ever saw.

Frank Gordon, notorious prostitnte
and proprietress Of den on Walnut,
between Fourth and Fifth streets, was
before Justice of the Peace Cummings
yesterday on complaint of some Of the
residents of the naighborhood, who claim
that Gorden's place has become burn.
ing shame and disgrace to that part of
the city. She was fined sixty
dollars and costs, in all sixty
six dollars. Gorden said she
could not pay the fine, and the officers
started to take her to Jail. She went
along quietly enough until on Eleventh
street near the Jail. The officers, Chief
Gossman and Sargent, being few steps
a head of her, Gordon suddenly drew
small Colts revolver from her bosom, and
before either Of the officers could get to
her, she discharged two shots,
the bullets coming uncomtort-
ably near officer Sargent's head.
Officer Sargent fired one shot at her, but
missed his aim. Gorden finally got
away, but was few minutes later cap
tured by Officer Sargent on Thirteenth
street near the school house. In
the scufiie here she again snapped her
revolver at the officer, but from some
cause it failed to 60 off. She was taken
to the city Jail and locked up. Gordon
is VIGOROUSLY bad and dangerous wo.
man. and it is to be hoped that for this
offense she will be sent to the peniten-
tiary.
