LEGISLATIVE ITEMS.

The debate yesterday upon the constltu-
tional amendments was long and, earnest,
consuming the greater part OF the days ses--
sion. Those favoring the amendments had
but little to say, leaving the speech-making to
the convention men in the main. That ques-
ton came up on the motion OF Mr.. Kidd to
strike out the enacting clause, which, had II
been carried, would have defeated the amend
ments.
After the close Of the debate Judge Lyons
moved to lay Mr.. Kidd's motion on the table.
Upon this the ayes and noes were taken, those
voting AYE" being, presumably, 1avoraoie 10
the amendments, and those voting mo In favor
of q convention The vote, however, was not
regarded as test vote, but we give IL In de-
tail In order that the public may know how

HENRI DE LA EARDERE.

The French dramatiAltion Of Paul Feral's

worse, and the Barrett version df we may

is worse than worse. And yet ''The Dukes

them up as you please, the exhalted love story
cannot be wiped out, and rs matinee produc-
tions, especially, either will attract throngs Of

sex we must naturally suecumb
appear at the Varieties in all entirely new

Presentment" We understand that 1t Is

The serious and dramatic, the laughable and
comical parts predominate. 1t Is a comedy OF

entertainment. Lawrence Barrett, OF course,
appears in the leading, part. At the matinee

THE PMELMARMONICs.

On Monday evening tina Philharmonic So
ciety gave it's ninth performance at Grune
valid Hail. Notwithstanding Aimee's attrac-

for sightseers, the hall was crowded with
good looking lasses and lads, well proper
toned The principal singers were Mr..
Tracy, Miss Ida Reimann, Mr.. George Theard
and Mr.. Theo. Curative mean the solo
singers. The most artistic part Of the even
ing's proceedings was the admirable ensemble
and perfect correctness with which the cho-
ruses were sung. The Philharmonic Society
is renowned for the artistic way in which it
interprets the works of the great masters in
their choruses, and never did they display
more talent than on Monday night

MORE BLOOD.
A Nun struck ON the Head and Bleeds |
Almost to Death.


Almost to Death.
At a quarter past 8 o'clock last night at
Alex. Wattenhofer's beer saloon, No 81 st.
Charles street, difficulty took place between
the proprietor and q man named Newman
Sickles. which terminated In the former
making murderous assault upon tho latter,
and inilicting wound in his head from which
blood ilowed very freely.
1t appears that the wounded man, who was
very drunk, entered the beer saloon and be-
bold to eject him from the premises. After
getting his man on the banquette he struck
him on tho head with, it is supposed, brass
knuckle
The accused, when arrested, was interviewed
by reporter, and he acknowledged having
struck Sickles, but said it was with his fist.
The wounded man was sent to the Charity
Hospital, where his wound was examined and
pronounced dangerous. The following are
q the statements OF witnesses:
HENRY ovERBERG.
I was standing about ten steps from the
saloon; saw the wounded man coming out,
and saw the accused have hold of him
then saw the accused strike the wounded
man, and apparently throw him down. did
not see any weapon in the hands of the ac-
cused. / Strengthened up the wounded man,
and found that he was bleeding profusely from
the head.
At this iuncture the police officers came up
and took charge of him.
/ think 1t was very brutal act on the part
of the accused. Us his victim was helplessly
drunk don't think that the wounded man
received his wound in the fall think the &C
cused must have used a weapon rs thewound
is in the forehead, and the victim fell on his
back.
JOSEPH MuRRAY's VERSION.
came along on the sidewalk and saw a
man with beer barrel in his hand This
man proved to be the victim, and l saw him
raise some beer barrels and let them fall
When he dropped the second barrel the &C
cused came out of the beer saloon and struck
him an overhanded blow The wounded man
at the time he was struck, was looking up st
Charles street. As soon as he was struck he
reeled and fell sideways and landed on his
back.
When I assisted the wounded man to his
feet found him full of blood. The officers
then came up and took charge of him. no

that he was a match for the accused.
