Production of the "Doctor" ct the Flft1,
Avenue Theatre, New York, Last Evening.
Special Dispatch TO The J1ibuce.
NEW YoRK, Jan. 25.-Dan Harkins produced
'Dr. Clyde" at the Fifth Avenue Theatre
this evening. The place Was done on a scale of
splcndor which has not until now been seen in
New York since Augustin Daly's palmfest days.
was surrounded by the most lavish
mountings that q eau be well imagined. It
WAS cast with great discrimination and utterly
regardless OF the salary list, and it was conse-
quently put before the public as we'll as ever a
play has been. But with all that, it's ultimate
success Is questionable. It is brimming over
with fun, but it is as plotlcss as temperance
lecture. The dialogue and situations were very
langhable, and the audience roared at almost
every sentence, but there is no conference in
the story, aud story to tell. Still, the peop|a
tonight enjoyed it all with such zest that the
performance must be set down us q success for
the time being at all events, Charles Fisher,
Frank Hardcnberg, Laura Don, Ellie Wilton,
Owen Fawcett, and George Chaplin did the
biggest part OF the acting. It is utterly needless
to say bow that acting was done. 1t was simply
triumph, on their part. There we're several
recalls. aud ut the end OF the second act Mr..
Harkins was yelled for and loudly chcered In
response, be made pleasant little speech and
left the stage amid The enthusiastic ii 'Bravas u
OF the frindty people who were in front. On
the whole it may be said that the theatre has
rcopcned for success this time. 1t is under the
most popular management OF its whole career,
and it ought to make heaps of money!

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 25.-Tlle Teller Com
mitt ee to-day took additional Republican testi-
mony, showing the voting Of tissue tickets
wrapped in large tickets at various precincts in

Gen. johnson Hagood, Comptro]lcr-Genernl,
described the meetings at Sumter, Oct. 12, tes-
tifying that both races were excited, and the
whites expected to be attacked BY the negroes
The blocking Of the street BY co1ored people
threatened to lead to trouble, and an alarm
bell was rung, but order WIS restored with little
difficulty.
White and colored Democrats from Sumter
County testified there were from ], 500 to =, O0O
colored Democrats in the county, and hundreds
OF them we're seen to vote the Democratic
ticket. Two testified to being cursed, jeercd
at, and threatened by colorcd Republicans, one
being obliged to leave bis church.
W. j. WhippcT, colorcd, Republican, describ-
ed the turbulent conduct of the Democrats, and
the demand for division Of time in Hampton
County.
Three Republicans from Colleton County tes-
tilted to intimidation, and the use of tissue bal
were fifty-ntne tissues. This testimony was
fatty contradicted by the Democratic County
Chairman, who swore to the thoroughuess and
peacefu1oess Of the Democratic canvass, which,
with the accession Of prominent Republicans
after the Republican nominations were made,
gave the Democrats the county by a decisive ma
jority.

Cov1HGTos, Ind, Jan. 25-Another bloody
tragedy has been enacted at Coal Creek, which
causes intense excitement. The cold-bloodcd
murders which have been committed there dur
ing the past year were not more atrocious than
the one which transpircd last night. Two
young men, friends, between whom no con-
tention or strife bad ever existed, were engaged
in social game Of cards in Reynolds saloon
Neither was drunk nor had been drinking,
when, during the course OF the game, dispute
arose, angry words followed, and finally the
''liarn was passed. Both got up from
the table aud advanced toward each
other in threatening manner,
when David Hughes, the taller and stronger OF
the two, grasped his antagonist, William Daily,
by the coat-collar, and held him at arms length,
only for q moment, however, when Samuel
AfcAfanagal separated the combatants; but,
with movement quick as lightning, Daily
drew revolver and fred, the bali striking
Hughes a little to the left Of the pit OF the
stomach, passing down and to the right, making
its appearance above the right hip bone.
Hughes was conveyed to his home, where
he expired within an hour in the
arms Of his agonized wife, who, with
three small children, remains to mourn bis loss
Daily was soon utter arrested, but evjnced no
emotion nor offered my theory In pallation OF
bis crime. On the preliminary examination, the
evidence adduced warranted the Justice in ree-
ognizing him in the sum of 5000. Daily is
now in Jail ut Coyington.
