THE LEGITIMATE.
Re-engagement OF Lawrence Bar.
rctt.

The gatherings at Piper's Opera
House during the past week have
been perfect ovations which culmi-
mated on Monday evening IN one of
the largest audiences ever seen with
in its walls. The occasion was the
production of /" Rosedsle," a piece
in which Mr.. Lawrence has gained
renown wherever he has appeared in
1t, and those who witnessed it enjoyed
rare treat, for, for once, the support
were found to be tolerably familiar
with the text Of their parts. Owing
to its immense success 1t will be re-
peated tomorrow Thursday even
ing. Tonight that celebrated play,
the "Man o. Airlie," will be placed
upon the boards, and on Friday "a
New Piece" The success of the
engagement of Mr.. Lawrence Bar
rett and production of the legiti-
mate drama must certainly bear good
results, for it will convince the man.
agement of the fact that our people
are not unappreciative, and that,
while they are ever ready to con.
denim that which is trifling, silly and
unworthy Of their patronage, they
will foster and encourage that which
Is really meritorjous.

Stabbed in the Arm and Thigh.

Stabbed In the Arm and Thigh.
Last Saturday morning John G.
Mackenzie was cut In the right arm
and right thigh with a jack-knife, by
Ralph Brown. This was at the Sue
cor mine. Brown is Q sort of half
witted man who presumes on his re-
lationship to the foreman of the
Succor to lord it over the other en-
ployes and to annoy them in many
ways. He is said to have had trouble
with almost every man employed
there, and not to be on speaking
terms with many Of them. For
sometime past he has proved quite
annoying to Mr.. Mackenzie, who
is the head blacksmith, and shortly
before the stabbing, that gentleman
told him that he did not want to
hear from him again, adding: "If
you we're not so old, 1 would give
you lesson" or words TO that effect,
putting his finger before his face
at the same time, but with no in
tcntion of striking him. Brown
thereupon stabbed him. Mr.. Mac
kenzie's wounds are painful and
dangerous, but they will not prove
fatal unless erysipelas sets in.

A NEW DIGNITY THRUST Upon
SUTRO.
That Burg Made a Township of,
with George w. Keith as
"Shustice Mid de Peece.o

hhucSASO VAlu uC L CcCcs
At the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners held in Day
ton last Monday, two petitions with
several hundred signatures attached,
and praying that Sutro be erected
into township, were presented. One
of the two petitions also prayed the
Board to appoint George w. Keith
Justice of the Peace for the town
ship to be erected.
Adolph Sutro appeared before the
Board and intimated his readiness to
address the Board in support of the
petitions if necessary.
Commissioner Burrier said he was
in favor of granting the prayer of
both petitions.
Chairman Shaw said that he could
see no objections to the creation of
the township. The residents of
Sutro had an undeniable right to de-
mand it. He had, however, prom
ised his support to another man for
Justice Of the Peace, and could not,
therefore, vote for Mr.. Keith.
Mr.. Sutro thereupon presented the
following as the boundaries of the
new township: Beginning at the in
tersection of the Dayton and Sutro
road with the fence at the southern
extremity of the Tunnel Company's
land; running thence northwesterly
to the Storey county line at the point
where it crosses the divide between
Mounts Rose and Emma; thence
nortbeasterly to Six-mile Canyon
thence easterly to the base Of the
sandhills first next to the Carson
river, on the east side of the said
river; thence southerly to the fence
at the southern extremity OF the
Sutro Tunnel Company's land; thence
westerly to the point Of beginning
These were adopted.
The absence of lookup at the
tunnel having been referred to, Mr..
Sutro said that temporary one would
be provided by the company.
This being satisfactory, Mr.. Sutro
retired and the Board took recess
for the purpose of consulting Mr..
Mackenzie (wbo was confined to his
residence in this city, upon his pref
erence for Justice Of the Peace. The
latter having voted for Mr.. Keith, the
Board again met in the aftern Don,
and formally appointed him.

HOW LONG WILL SUTRO LAST?
What AdOlph Sutro Says On This
Subject.

While the County Commissioner
were examining the petitions from
Sutro, last Monday, some one asked
Adolph Sutro how long he thought
the tunnel town would last, and il
the present excitement there would
continue for any great length Of
time?
He replied: "Sutro will always be
town, but there are many more
men employed there now than there
will be a month from now"
Being asked IL he did not think
that more houses were being built
there than would be required after
the drain was completed, he said
that might be so, but that the COM
pany had nothing to do with that.
1t owned plenty of land, and II
man wanted to come there and
build, "let him go ahead" The &C.
for those who re-
manned would be all the better.

An All Night Siege.

Persons coming down Market street
this morning could scarcely get along
past Fifth street, on account of the
row of young men and boys that had
formed in line, waiting for the opening
of C. j. Thomas & Co.'s book store, that
they might get reserved seats for the
opening of the Boys High School on
Friday evening. A line of $50 boys and
Young men extended from the doors of
the store up to the corner, wedged in Sc
tight that if one boy lost his place for a
momplt it was somewhat difficult to re-
gain it. Those who had buniOns and
corns on their toes must have suffered
immensely.
One young lad arrived and took up
his position at the door at 10 minutes
before 10 o'clock and in half an hour
more couple of dozen were present,
formed in line preparing for an eight
hours wait before the doors opened
Several of the boys after having secur-
ed their places by number, took up
their roost on the door steps and tried
to get q snooze before morning, but the
continual arrival Of fresh boys banish-
ed the idea OF sleep. The doors were
opened at 7 O'Clock when the tickets
were distributed amidst the widest
confusion but fortunately it was of
short duration.

FOURTH EDITION.
Tho U. 4. Circuit Coari.

Judge Strong Of the Supreme Court
of the United states, sat Oh the bench
Yesterday at IA session Of the U. 5. Cir.
cult Court held i'll this city. The only
case brought before him was an appeal
irem the decision Of Judge Bradford in
the case Of +. q. Lubker tai vs.. the
schooner A. II. Quinby. Z. J. Brad
ford, Jr., represented the libellants aud
C. G. Rumford, ESQ, the respondents.
The facts of the case are that on May
lst, 1877, this schooner "a. IL. Guin.
bv," Of this city, collided with the
British bark Sarah II. Smith," about
two miles off the Delaware Breakwater.
Mary Quinby, OF this city, is the owner
Of the schooner. BY the collision the
schooner had her masts broken off,
er wiudlass mashed, rail broken, and
her sails and rigging damaged and le.t
hanging overheard.
Captain Lubker.a Wrecker at Lewes,
went out to the schooner and was
called on by the latter tor assistance.
The master of the schooner, }. {. Craig.
signed a contract employing Lubker 10
save her aud bring her to this city
which lie did. The matter was referred
to the Board of Underwriters, and Lub-
ker, supposing it was the Philadelphia
Board, went three times to that city,
but tailed to meet the Board, and some
time during the summer he libelled
the vessel. After the taking OF volum-
inous testimony in the case, some thir-
ty witnesses being examined, argument
was finally had before the District
Court here, in the spring of '7S and
the sum OF $400 was rendered in Court,
on behalf of the schooner, and Judge
Bradford awarded that amount to the
libellant. Anappeal was taken and the
arguments on the appeal were heard
by Judge Strong yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Bradford counsel for the libel
liant made an elaborate address, in
which he showed that the respondents
had not acted in good faith and had
failed to fulfil the contract with Lub-
ker, the latter having performed his
part of the contract at great inconve-
nience and expense to himself, and be-
lieving that the respondents would per.
form their part of the contract had per-
mitted the cargo to be removed, thus
losing all chance of obtaining redress.
Mr.. Rumford, counsel for the respon-
dents, claimed that the libellant was
not entitled to TIE amount of the de-
cree, and the fact Of tender having
been made, the respondents could not
be charged with what was not part OF
the salvage. The amount saved by the
salvage was about 81, 900, and, with
the award of $4o0 to the sailors, and
costs of $G33 OF, over 81 900 would have
to be paid in all. He held that the
amount of the decree should be reduc,
ed, or that, at least, the costs should
be on the other side.
The arguments, which were both
able, were submitted to the Court, and
Judge Strong will reserve his decision

A MURDERER'S PLEA.
He Tells the story Of his WFOnEl

|
A despatch from Atlanta, Georgia,
to the National Republican, Washing
ton, D. c., of June l4tb, is as follows: {:
THE statement Of Hill, made to-day
during his trial for murder, created a
profound sensation. Old lawyers say
that they never saw paper used In a
court house with such a tremendous sf-
feet. He opened by saying that the
statement of the prisoner was not taken
under oath, but that he wanted to say
what he had to say under the restric-
tions of an oath land may the God AL
mighty that am soon to meet smite
me dead in my tracks if deviate one
iota from the truth"
He then went on to say that Simmons
met his wife while she was school
girl, and had loved her ever since !;
that he had persistently pursued her
and at last decoyed her away from
home under the pretense of taking her
to him that Simmons thus decoyed her
away, persuaded her to drink beer, and
there and then alienated her; be said
that this was accomplished forcibly
Hill returned home that night and found
his wife sick; after this Simmons had
power over her, and persuaded her to
go Off Hill then looked for her, and on
Monday she sent him a letter, detailing
what had been done, and begging her
her hus sband to forgive her; he took
her into the country; Simmons followed
hor there, and finally wrote her a note
which she at once returned to Hill.
Hill determined to kill Summons,
went to hunt for him; Simmons avoid
ed him, ne says, and he wrote him
letter, begging him, if he had one speck
of manhood to meet him. He met Sim
mons accidently on the street, followed
him and shot him. "Gentlemen of the
jury, loved my wife, and love her
now. If you knew her you would love
her too. killed John r. Simmons be-
cause he invaded my home and rdined
my wife. If l did wrong, hang me-
You will find that can die like have
lived. Gentlemen, l will turn to the
sixth chapter of Proverbs in the Bible.
Mr.. Hill here read the chapter.] ] Gen.
tlemen, have been hurt worse than
can express. love my wife better than
my life. Our welded life has been one
long honeymoon. We had our home
frolieks and played together. Now,
gentlemen, it is with you to decide. |
want no sympathy, but justice. My
life is in your hands. do not regret
anything that has been done; only
regret having to do it. Gentlemen, |
bid you adieu. put my trust in God.'
During the delivery of the statement
the vast audience paused in almost
breathless silence. He was at times
eloquent, especially so when touching
upon his affection for his wife. 1t was
the most dramatic effort ever rendered
by prisoner to ajury in the history
of Fulton County. The State is intro
ducing testimony to break the effect of
the statement, but the almost unani-
nous opinion of everybody is that it
will clear the defendant. The jurymen
wept freely during the delivery. The
arg ument will le made on Monday and
a decision probably reached on Tues
day.
