SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A
WIFE.-Charles Baker shot with pistol
and severely wounded his wife, Agnes
Baker, about twenty minutes after2 O'Clock
Saturday, at oil Light street, where she
kent saloon, and Immediately afterwards
shot himself through the left breast, caus-
ing instant death.
Miss Sophia Risemau, nineteen years old,
said that Baker had left her mother about
three wears ago, and returned some five
months since; that having been thus neg
lected her mother had determined not to
receive him back. Baker pressed her mo-
ther to ibecome reconciled to him, but
she positively refused. although he visited
the house frequently. Only day or two
ago Mrs. Baker had him arrested by the po-
lice for disturbing her. On Saturday he
went to the house. Mrs. Baker had S75
belonging to him from q United States pen
sion he received. BY her request witness
gave it to him, and he returned 500. de
went out and spent 1884 OF the $50 he kept.
He came back and they all ate dinner. MIS-.
Baker was afterwards standing on one side
Of the table washing dishes, ana ne on tne
other: witness was in the room. They be-
gan to quarrel about the matter OF recon-
Citation. as they had often done before.
Her mother again refused his opportunities,
when he pulled out the pistol and fired two
shots at her. He then turned the pistol and
fred on himself, falling to the floor. Her
mother fell as he fired at her. He had been
drinking, but was sober enough to know
what he was doing. He bought the pistol
about ten days before, and said he expected
" that would be the last OF him." but nad
never made any other threats against her
mother or himself. -,
Mrs. Baker is expected to recover.-BaI-

These various works Of internal improve

These various works OF internal improve
ment were built with borrowed money.
People, inside and outside Of Virginia, re-
living upon her traditionary honor and good
faith, loaned the money for the construc-
ton Of these works. The benefits Of these
works are still enjoyed by our people. You
are vet asked to say that this debt, thus
contracted, is OF such inferior dignity as
to make it iusttiable for us to violate our
contract in regard to the payment Of the in
terest thereon and to forcibly avoid its pay
ment. Is that a proposition which strikes
the members OF this House with favor?
But let us look a little more into details.
Let me call the particular attention OF mem
bers living along the principal lines OF these
improvements, from the advantages OF
which their constituents have been so much
benefited, to the amounts OF this borrowed
money which have been expended partlcu-
larly for their good.
The State borrowed and spent in the con-
struction OF her great central line OF road
leading fDm this capital to the Ohio river
nearly 81, 10000 What say the represent.
atiyes Of Henrico, Hanover, Louis, and Of
the great county OF Almemarle, whose peo-
ple are now enjoying the rich fruits coming
from the expenditure of this money. to the
proposition to adopt forcible measures to
avoid the payment OF the debt thus con-
tracted? What says the empire county OF
Augusta, who shares with her sister coun-
ties in the great benefits Of this large ex-
penditure, and also in the profits derived
from the munifcent appropriations made
year after year to the noble charitable insti-
| tutions located in her city? Will any rep
resentatiye Of any one OF these counties
stand upon this floor and disown the obli-
CATION to pay this money, which has been
used for the benefit Of the sane and insane
appeal to the counties Of Frederick,
Shenandoah, and Rockingham to know
what they will do. I find that there has
been expended in the construction OF the
Manassas Gap railroad, and other improve
ments, intended especially for the benefit Of
these counties, between S3,000,000 and
81, ,000,00O What would now be the con-

ruE IrA11AN OpERA-DoN PAsouALE.-

The ITALIAN OPERA-DoN PAsoUALE.-
There was q large and appreciative au-
dience at Mozart Hall last evening to wit
ness the presentation OF Don Pasquale
by the Brignoli italian Opera Company
now in the city. The performance was
as complete and perfect as might have
been looked for from the artists who COM
pose the company. M'lle Elisa Galimbertl
has rich and powerful voice, with'a regis
ter essentially contralto. She appeared as
Norma; and acted the part with all the life
and spirit that the Italian nature could I'M
part. 1t was pity, however, that she
should have allowed the modern pinback
mode to privail in her attire to an extent
so much at variance with the character to
be portrayed.
As Don Pasquale, Signor Susini was, to
use the yernacular, immense. His acting
was full OF life, in which the deep, full
tones OF his voice assisted no little in the
portrayal of the character. Signor Brig
noli in the role of Erneto, was very fine.
His voice has rather improved since his last
appearance here, and he was received with
marked evidences Of favor by the audience
whenever he appeared. In the third act he
was enthusiastically encOred for his rendl-
tion Of the sercnaue Of "Oh, Summer
Night"
Signor Tagliapietra acted DR.. Matalesta to
perfection; but it is to be regretted that
he could not have been cast in part better
calculated to show off his magnificent voice.
Mm'lle Teresa Carreno is an artist OF Won
derful ability, and her rendition on piano OF
| Mendelssohn's "Rondo Capriccioso" was
most enthusiastically applauded, as was also
Liszt's Rhapsodie Hongroise" No. 2, in
the first Of which she was compelled to re-
spond to the encore.
The combination is powerful one, and
will afford great pleasure to all who are Sc
fortunate as to hear them.
The same opera will be repeated to-day al
the matinee to be given at 3 o'clock.
