Life Insurance Suits.

The life of the late Capt. Chas. D. Nc
Coy, Principal of the D., D. & B. Institu-
ton, was insured for SIS, 900 in the Metro
politan Life of New York and 1000 in
the Piedmont & Arlington of Richmond.
In the first named company the policy once
lapsed but was reinstated in 1876; in the
second it had run many years. Both COM
panies resist the payment of the insurance.
In Judge McLaughlin's court Wednesday
Mr.. John M. Dinneen, of Kelley Il Din
neen, of Richmond, appeared for the Me-
tropolitan Life and applied for removal
of the suit against that company from the
Circuit Court to the U. s. District Court
on the ground that his clients were resi-
dents of another State. The Judge gran
ted the application and that case is remov-
ed. In both cases Messrs. Sheffey & Bum
gardner and Geo. M. Cochran, ESQ.,, are
counsel for the plaintiffs, the heirs of Capt.
Mccoy, and in the Piedmont & Arlington
case that company is represented by MAJ.

The Opera House TONIGHT.

Humpty Dumpty seems to have had an
enthusiastic reception in Richmond. The
Richmond 'State'' says of it:
Nick Roberts splendid Humpty Dumpty
troupe gave their first performance at the
Theatre last night to crowded house.
Every seat down stairs was taken and
nearly every seat in the balcony and in the
family circle. The audience was well
pleased, in fact, delighted, as attested by
the constant laughter aud applause. Nick
Roberts has many new features and speci-
alties in his performance, and it has been
long time since we have seen so many
amusing antics by the clowns There are
three clowns Grlmaldi, Dromio and Pc
dro, and each one is good.
The acrobatic feats were very fine, and
the man-serpent act by Prof. Charles ON
veg was simply marvellous.
This afternoon the matinee was well at
tended by ladies and children, and tonight
there will doubtless be large crowd to see
the last performance.
The audience at the Staunton Opera
House tonight to witness this spectular
play promises to be very large one. It is
the first time our people have had the op-
portunity to witness anything of the kind.
