MR.. STACY POTTS, DEATH.
Drowned while on = Pleasure Ercur.,o.

Drowned while on y Pleasure Excursion.
There Is now little doubt about the drown
ing Of Mr.. Stacy Potts, which was reported In
the city yesterday. The circumstances sur
rounding his death arc peculiarly sad Mr..
Potts was member Of party Of nine young
men who started on a pleasure excursion to
Point Lookout on the steam pleasurt-boat d.
NJ. Key last. Saturday evening. Most of Sun
day wos spent at the Point. On the return
trip, about halfpast one o'clock yesterday
morning, while the members Of the party were
lying asleep in the cabin, they were awakened
by large quantities Of steam which had been
driven in through the open door.
The steam was dCnse and choking, and rs
the open door Of the furnace throw glare Of
fire into the cabin, II was thought immedi.
atcly that something was wrong and mo-
mentary panic ensued, during which the
young gentlemen hurried from the cabin. 1t
was soon discovered that there was no cause
for alarm, and when the excitement subsidized
Mr.. Potts was missed from the party. The
boat was Immediately turned back, and a
careful but fruitl,ss search made. When the
boat arrived In the city, about half past two
o'clock, DIR. Prentiss, cashier of the German
American Bank, the members of Mr.. Potts
family, and others interested were notified.
The boat went down the river yesterday in
the hopes of getting some tidings from Mr..
Potts, and parties were engaged in dragging
the river for the body.
The high wind prevented very thorough
search. The theory is that during the excite
ment ON the boat Mr.. Potts. stepped into the
river, as there Is no guard. rail about the boat,
aud that, being encumberei by his clothing and
boots and mystifed by the darkness, was i'm
mcdiately drowned. The efforts to find the
body will be continued. Mr.. Potts was about
twenty.six years of age and very respectfully
connected. lie was well known and highly
esteemed in this community. For several
years he has been connected with the German
American Savings Bank of this city, and was
note-clerk Of that bank at the time of his
death. He had just entered the Masonic or

Coup's EaucscurricuIum.


Mr.. W. c. Coup, tho proprietor of the cele-
brated "bran-new show" being famous for
novelties and doing things in a novel way, has
made new departure by invading the West
End where he has pitched his tent, at the cor
ner Of X and Sixteenth streets northwest,
Those who visited the inviting tents ycstcr-
day, expecting to see a repetition of the stereo-
typed circus performances, were very agreeably
surprised. The ring exhibition consists of a
seges of novelties, and the collection of aui-
mails Of rare natural curiosities. One of the
irst objects that claims attention upon enter
ing the tent is the gigantic octopus, or devil
fish, which lies sprawlins in huge aquarium
Passing the lion, giraffe, and other wild ami
mails, the visitor is ushered into the handsome
tent containing the ring.
From the moment the band strikes up until
the last the spectators are kept in constant
state of wonder. The beautiful Bruncho
horses, which perform marvellous feats, show
ing an intelligence almost human, are enough
in themselves to make up a complete show
They go through a military drill with the
precision of old veterans, and do a score of
things, such as playing at 'see-saw," which no
one would believe possible before seeing them
done. Nctte, the leaping horse, a magnif-
cent animal leaps over q five-barred gate aud
five horses at the same time. Next comes the
trained dogs, whose antics are very laughable
and entertaining. Then there is the ROYAL
Japanese troupe of wonderful jugglers and
dozen other attractions, such as have never
before been seen, combined together in one
great show. There is nothing stale and moth.
ing common. Everything is of u high order,
aud there are sufficient novelties and rarctics
to stock dozen ordinary circuses, with the
usual filling in of ring-talk and pad-riding
The unanimous verdict of those who visited
the tents yesterday was that it is the best
show that ever came this way.

4 QUESTION or PRACTICE SETTLED.

4 Case of Interest to Members OF the Bar
The suit of Bond, Brothers & Co. VS.. A. H,
Shepherd was submitted in the Court in Gen.
cral Term few days since by the counsel on
both Sides aud last Saturday a decision WAS
made. As the case involved the construction
Of rule of the court. and was carried up
merely to receive action In that respect, the
decision will prove especially interesting to
the members of the bar. His Honor, Chief
Justice Cartier, delivered the opinion of the
court. He said that the case presents a aues-
tion Of practice, aud an interesting question
to the bar. Application was made TO him,
holding the Circuit Court for Judgment In dc.
fault of aihdavts setting forth the defense,
aud lie granted the judgment, treating the af.
hdavit as Insufficient from which an appeal
was taken to the General Term The court
had given n construction to tho rule that
would be important in the future practice of
the Circuit Court, and it was this: That when
an affidavit vindicates the cause Of action
aud according to the rule, and where the
pIeadings describe 1t we'll, If the defendant
viii avail himself of his rights to traverse the
case before Il jury, he shall not only set forth
in his affidavit that the debt Is not due in
detail, but where he seeks to charge an endorser
he shall set forth in his affidavit that he has
not become amenablo to pay the debt under
his secondary undertaking; that he has not, in
other words, been notified Of the default Of the
maker of the note that the note was not pIe-
sentcd for payIuent-thrcc facts peculiar to
his relations TO the paper, and facts under the
law showing his liability for the payment of it.
That was the Interpretation the court had
given to the statute, and ho acquicsced In it.
It was more important that the rule he known
than what 1t was. He quite agreed with his
hrethern that the rule ought to he strictly con.
strucd, and no more latitude given to II than
ito language permits. Justice Oln disscuted
from the opinIOn.
