a dispatch from Wilkesbsrrs. Pa. says:
a. firm Of amateur managers of thes!ricals,
Mishler & Miller, brought company here on
Thursday and produced the drama of Daniel
bruce" r. q. Bangs assuming the leading role
and Miss Josephine Bailey personsting Dors!hy
bruce.
1t appears that in the afternoon Bangs went
cut from his room, which adj Joined that of Miss
Bailey, and with some friends mbibed somewhs st
freely; Upon returning to his quar!ers be found
the door connecting his apartments with those
of Miss Bailey locked, whereas the door WAS
ajsr when he left.
Bangs, when he attempted to open the con
Meeting door became enraged at its being closed
and Immediately became violent to desperate
degree, accusing Manager Miller o. attem pting
to ALLEVIATE Mics Bailey. Miller, y rather pre-.
possessing, broad shoudered gentleman. came
out upon the hallway, wherest Bangs, who is .
powerful man, seized him, and lifting him as
though no were child, three times dashed him
to the floor.
Tha noise aroused tho employees of the hotel,
and the proprietor ordered that Bangs and Mil.
Ter Do q sc!ed, Two Of the porsers went to the
task, but the irate actor drove them both down
stairs, end then paid his compliments to the ter
rlded Miller again. Soon reinforcements arrived
headed BY one Brown. an athletic colored man ,
but Bangs dispersed the entire crowd and
bounced" Brown incontinenty down stairs.
The whole crowd sustained severe injuries,
and whom the actor was finally overcome his
clothes were literally torn from his person. The
heroine subsequently came to the psclfcstion of
bsngs With warm csresses instead of bullets.
