MADAME ANDERSON.
Successful Completion of Her Walk-Trou.
BILE Of the Management.

At 900 last night Madame Anderson
completed her task of walking SO4 miles in
536 hours, walking one milesand a half ev,
cry hour for twenty-five and one-third days.
The mile and a half which she walked be-
tween and 8 o'clock last night she accom-.
plished in Is minutes and 4S seconds, and
the last mile and half frequired 10 minutes
and II seconds.
At the completion of the walk she was
led to the music stand, where she made a
short speech, thanking the people for their
patronage and the press for its kindness.
She defended her husband and the orches.
ira from the attacks which had been made
upon them, and then after singing song
went upon the track and walked another
mile.
The affair, however did not end peace
asy. The manager, Mr. Easthope, fearing
that the walker was about to break her con-
tract with him for five other walks, did not
hand over to the Madame her forty-five per
cent. of the receipts, us was his custom,
each evening; but it is understood that he
intends to hold back the money until she
has signed bond for the fuliillment of her
contract with him. The sum realized last
night is 1880. The affair may be put
down as a financial success, but not such Il
one as the management doubtless expected.
A walking match is about as poor show
as the public is ever invited to attend, and
when to this is added the fact that the per-
former is woman taxing her physical en-
durance to the utmost, the spectacle is one
from which the more refined naturally
shrink. Curiosity took many respectable
people to see the walk, but the audiences
as a rule were made up of the more vicious
classes Of the community. Such exhibitions
are on a par with the prize ring and bull
fighting, and are too far behind the
civilization of the present age to receive the
approval of the refined portion OF any com
munitY

morning unless their wages were raised
from s. to So % per day. This includes
nearly all those working on the large job,

but the exact number of strikers is not
known. The bosses state that there are be
tween two hundred and fifty and three
hundred members of the Union, and nearly
every one who had work is engaged in the
strike, while the strikers themselves claim
that three fourths of the bosses are paying
50 % per day, and the strike is only wherl
they are paying but 81.
The strikers thus far however, are quiet
and have made no serious demonstrations
but they are warning all outsiders to keel

A Serious Cutting Scrape,

Last Saturday night about 10 o'clock a
man named VIM. Mullen went to the Ham,
mond-street Station-house and reported
that a friend of his named John Whimsey
had been cut in the abdomen and was
lying at the corner of New strcetand Broad
way. officers were Immediately dispatched
to the place, and Whimsey was found in a
very dangerous condition.
He was at nee removed to the Hospital
and Mullen was locked up on suspicion OF
having done the cutting. He denied it,
however, and stated that a man in the garb
OF Il brickmason had passed them on New
street. and a few minutes after Whimsey
had said, BILLY, I'm cut"
The police yesterday arrested Patrick
Kcarrey on suspicion of knowing some
thing in regard to the matter. He CON
fessed to having cut Whimsey and says he
did it because lie had seen him (Whimsey)
have his arm around his daughters neck.
In the Police Court this morning the case
was continued until next Saturday

TWO SHOTS
Fired at o Policeman's Head.

About quarter past o clock this morn
ing Officer Smith heard disturbance in
McCusker's saloon, on Sixth street, be-
tween Main and Walnut Going over in
front of the saloon two men, named Mike
Whalen and Larry Harrington, came out,
when the officer inquired about the trouble
within. The men walked off a few steps,
and Harrington returned, when the officer
again piled the question to him.
Instead of answering, he pointed pistol
at the officers head, and pulled the trigger.
The ball whistled past his head, and so close
was the weapon TO his head that his face
was powder burnt. Harrington turned
around and run after firing, and as he fled
fired another shot at Smith. The latter re.
turned the shots, but missed his mark.
Whalen was arrested and locked up. to be
held as a witness, but Harrington escaped.
He is well known, however, and no doubt
will be captured in short time.

THE AQUATIC WONDER.
His Reinforcement for Another Week

His Re-Engagement for Another Week
Ten thousand persons went out to the
Geological Garden yesterday, the principal
attraction there being Captain Paul Boyton,
who gave three of his aquatic exhibitions
during the day-morning, afternoon and
night. The programme, as carried out yes
teruay, was the most interesting OF any per-
fOrmance that has vet been given. In the
evening, tie exhibition closed VITA a
miniature naval battle between two men
of-war. They discharged Roman candles at
each other until finally the magazines of
both exploded and the boats were blown
into thousand atoms. The Directors of
the Garden have persuaded the Captain to
stay with us another week, and everybody
who has not seen him will now have an op-
portunity of doing so. The performances
will commence daily at 3 p. III.
