The AssaiIants of Peter Pfeif er Fined.

The case of the State against Charles
Engel and Eugene Funk, charged with
assaulting Peter Pfeifer, was called for
hearing in the police court yesterday
forenoon. The assault took place two
weeks ago to-day, at the complainant's
building on Wabashaw street. The tes-
timony was very conflicting, but it
was shown that Mr. Pfeifer
had been badly punished.
The men entered the saloon, on the ground
flour of the building, early in the morn
ing, and the conversation turned on ball
that had taken place in Pfeifer's hall the
night preceding, in the course of which
they remarked that the room had not been
sufficiently heated. A dispute arose, dur
ing which the lie was banded, when Mr..
Pfeifer picked up bottleto defend himself
1t was claimed by the prosecution that
Funk held Pfeifer while the other defend
ant hit him, while the defendants claimed
that Pfeifer was only hit twice, and then
after he had seized three bottles. Eugle
was fined s22.75, and the other defendant
s12.75, on payment of which they were
DISCHARGED

THE OPERA,

A Successful Opening Of the Season, and an
Artistic Performance of "The Bride of
Lammermoor."
Miss Emma Abbott had abundant reason
to feel lattered az the reception accorded
her last evening on the occasion Of her first
appearance as Lucia in "The Bride of
Lammermoor. Every seat in the audi
torium, "from pit to dome,' was filled
and many were obliged to stand in the
aisles during the entire performance. The
opera is one of Donizetti's most charming
productions, abounding in melodious
gems for the principal characters, though
a little deficient in the effects that full
chorus give. The interest is centered in
the fortunes Of Lucia and Edgardo, the
other characters being simply introduced
to round off the plot AS Lucia, Miss
Abbott was all that could be desired.
She sang the role with much animation
throughout, and showed a fine ap-
probation not only of the music of Don
izeti, but of the sentiment that pervades
the pathetic work of Scotland's hero,
from which the composer derived his in
spiraticn. Her voice, always cultivated
since her first acquaintance with st. Paul
audiences, has developed in tone since
her last appearance here, while her
method shows a marked improvement
Much of the labor of the opera devolyed
upon her, and it must be said that she
proved herself equal to the task. Her
solos were marvelously perfect in exc
cution, and full of soreful melody, while
her rendering of concerted parts was
thoroughly artistic and thrillingly effec-
tive. 1t is safe to say that none were
disappointed with the manner in which
Miss Abbott acquitted herself
Brignoi as Edgardo cannot be pro-
nounced success. He is the reverse of
lover-like in appearnce, and the stride
with which he appers on the stage is any
thing but dramatic or graceful. Ais &C
cent, too, was decidedly unpleasant, while
his makeup was neither proper nor his
torical. He sang his lines, however, in
good voice, and especially in the last
tragic scene he reminded his old friends
Of the days Of twenty years ago, when he
was the ideal tenor of the world
Mr. Stoddard as Ashton and Mr. 6trini
as Raimond both acted and sang their
parts excellently The remainder of the
cast was not particularly strong, nor was
the chorus quite up to the requirements
of the opera All in all, however, the
entertainment was we'll worth tho pat
ronage it received.
Tonight Martina" will be presented,
with Miss Abbott in the title role and
Mr.. Castle as Don Cesar de Bazaan. AS

II RUNAWAY YESTERDAY

Lady Clinging to the Lines and Dragged
Dozen Yards Along the Frozen Street.
Another frightful runaway took place
early yesterday morning, which, like SIM
liar occurrences Of the past few days, was
fortunate in the almost miraculous escape
from serious if not fatal injury The oc-
currence was certainly most unfortunate,
however inasmuch as it entailed personal
harm to well-known and very estima-
bic lady.
About o'clock Mrs. Gaorge B. Wood
ward was driving spirited horse, attach
cd to cutter, along WabashaW street,
when the animal SHE'D at something in
the road near Fourth street, making a
plunge diagonally across the street and
landing near Schlick's shoe store, where
the rig upset. When the cutter over
turned Mrs. Woodward was thrown to
the ground and the horse increased his
gait to a gallop, Notwithstanding which
she Clung hravely to the lines, being
dragged at least dozen yards.
Her predicament was extremely hazard
Gus and she did not relax her hold until
rendered senseless by coming in contact
with the ground. Immediate aid was
rendered by several bystanders, and she
was conveyed to Mrs. Lysle's hair dressing
parlors, where medical assistance was
summoned and her husband was Informed
of the accident
An examination showed that she was
badly bruised about the face, and it is pos
sible that internal injuries were sustained,
while she suffered mostly from the shock.
A cutter was kindly rendered by Mr..
Hillman, and she was conveyed TO her
residence on West Third street.

Reports having been put in circulation
through the publication of an irresponsi-
bic newspaper that the management of
the st. Paul, Minneapolis s. Manitoba
railway had inaugurated a sweeping
change in the conductorships of both pas
senger and freight trains," and that s'all
but three of the conductors on the main
line had been discharged" for ''ineff1-
cheney, carelessness, disobedience of in
structions and, i'll some cases, dis
honesty" A GLOBE reporter started
on an investigating tour yester-
day among several of the conductors
employed on the road specified,
the main line from St. Paul to Brecken-
ridge, but none Of them knew Of the
''sweeping change" stated to have been
made, and none of them acknowledged to
have received the 500 check said to have
been paid each of the faithful conductors
as a reward for his honesty.
The reporter then visited the general
Offices of the company, where the state
ment given above was pronounced gross
exaggeration and doing great injustice to
the many faithful conductors employed
on that portion Of their road. The facts
were that not a passenger conductor on
the road specified had been discharged,
but the services Of four or five freight
conductors who had shown themselves
careless and incompetent, had been dis
pensed with, and that was all there was
to the story.
