UHuMPTY DUMPTY.n

"Humpty Dumpty" is about 10 visit
Wilmington again, but this time on a
more extended scale, that Is there will
be two clowns James 3. Maff1tt, aad
Robert Frazer, two pantaloons two
harlequIns and two columbines. The
company was organized by Henry
Abbey well known New York theatri-
cal manage. 1t has had q very brilliant
run at Booths theatre, New York, to q
succession of crowded houses.
The New York Daily Netos thus
seaks of its presentation in that city;
Ii there be any objection to the en-
joyable entertainment which has attract
ed Gro wds to this beautiful theatre. ever
since the arrival of Abbev's "Humpty
Dumpty" and Spanish Students Com
bination, it is in the multitude of its
merit as a source OF unqualified variety
and delight. Such copious assemolage
of stage entertainment Of the highest
class has never before been compressed
into q single metropolitan theatre. 1t is
snap and sparkle from the rise of the
curtain till It's fail. 1t is scene of unend-
ing fun and frolic which engages the
sympathies of the audience without
intermission and is received with un-
Tagging enjoyment with every repetition.

TdE WATER RIGH1S.

A GENERAL IMPRESSION THAT THE
PRICE ASKED FOR THEM IL TOO
HIGH.
The proposition of the Water Com
mittee of City Council to purchase ce r
tain water rights of j. l.. Johns IN &Co.,
for 600, Is attracting the general at
tention of citizens, and is largely dis
cussed by the people The prevailing i'm
preston seems to be that while these
rights would be OF use to the city, they
would never be worth the enormous sum
asked for them. They are not worth
ans thing like $4,000 to their owners,
and would not bring one-halfthat sum
at public sale. They were not sutfi-
cient to operate the mills, and a steam
engine had to be introduced yesas ago,
to keep the mill in operation.
During a portion of the summer
months, it is said, these rights will not
furnish enough water to raise grain
from vessel in the creek to the mill.
Quite number of leading citizens
have been talked to by GAZETTE re-
porter on this subject, and all express
ed themselves as opposed to paying
$50, 900 for the water rights. They
thought the price was entirely too
high, and said it would be folly to pur-
chase them at this figure.

years. In the mcnagerie there is ex-
hlbitsd monster hippopotamus, a six
ton rhinocero', giraffes, sea lions, and
other rare animals. 1t is now many
times larger than ever, by reason of the
recent purchase by Mr.. Forepaugh OF
G. W, Rice's famous London and Ber-
lin Menagerie, whereby his collection
now embraces the largest and finest liv-
ing specimens of lions, tigers, bears,
monkeys, ostriches, emues and other
ra animals and birds ever seen on this
continent.

Salisbury Troubadours,

On Wednesday evening next, the
Salisbury Troubadours will appear at
the Opera House for the first time i'll
this city. On this occasion they will
present their amusing extravaganza of
"rhe Brook" In speaking of their
recent performance at Haverly's Thea
tire, New York city, the Telegram says !:
The Salisbury Troubadours are by
no means strangers to this city. They
played a very successful engagement
at the San Francisco Opera House,
which they filled nightly by their mer-
ry songs and eccentricities. Last
night they reappeared IN this city at
Haverly's Theatre, in The Brook, !"
to an immense audience, which they
kept in roars of laughter from the rise
to the fall of the curtain. 'The
Brook" is picnic of persons belonging
to the theatrical profession. and these
amuse themselves and each other in
every conceivable manner Every
walk in the profession is levied IN, and
the result is entirely gratifying to the
spectator. They furnish an entertain
ment that is ''comical, tragical, pas
toral-comical, and pastoral-comical-
tragical," as old Polonius described
the players powers, and everybody who
witnessed last nights performance
went away rejoicing.
General Garbaldi is to have a gift
from the Italian colony at Montevideo,
in the shape of steamer of ton tons
burden, fitted up elegantly, and called

SECOND EDITION
DE YOUNG KILLED.
SHOT Y MAYOR 1. s. KALLocH's son

SHOT ID MAYOR 1. 8. KALLOCH'S SON.
IN FRANCISCO, April %, 1880.
Charles De Young, editor Of the
Chronicle, was shot and killed at half
past seven o'clock this evening by j. M.
Kalloch, son of Mayor l. s. Kalloch, in
the Office Of the Chronicle.
The story Of the trouble between the
De Youngs and the Kallochs begins
with the candidature of the elder Kali
loch for Mayor of San Francisco. On
the night of the 22d of August, 1879,
Mr.. Kalloch, Er., then the workingmen's
candidate fer Mayor, made an exceed
ingly bitter speech at q mass meeting in
reply 10 an article in the Chronicle.
That paper was opposed to the sand lot
party, and in an editorial accused Kali
loch Of imm0ralities practised in Boston
twenty years before. It was in answer
ing this charge that Kalloch made his
very bitter tIack upon the De Youngs,
calling them, among other things, "the
bastard sons Of prostitute.D
The following evening Charles De
Young drove IN q covered coupe in
front of the private entrance of the Me-
tropolitan Temple, where Mr.. Kalloch
had his study and room, and sent a mes
senger boy asking him to come out. Mr..
Kalloch Immediately appeared on the
sidewalk. when De Young shot him In
the breast. Mr.. Kallock turned to re-
treat within doors, when De Young shot
him in the back. A crowd Immediately
seized the carriage in which De Young
was, turned it over aud tore him out.
He was dreadfully kicked and bruised,
and would no doubt have been killed on
the spot h Ad not an unusual number of
policemen come suddenly to the rescue
and hurried him to Jail.
The shooting occasioned the most in
tense excitement throughout the civ,
aud frequent threats were made to lynch
De Young. Kalloch was then consider
ed to be dying, aud frequent meetings
were held by the workingmen for the
discussion of the shoot ng and its politi-
cal consequence to them.
KALLoCH. JR.'s. FIRST THREATS.
1t was at one of these meetings that
|. N. Kalloch made his first appear
ance as an agitator. He made most
inflammable speech, calling ON his
fathers friends for vengeance. He
was a baptist preacher located in
Sonoma county and came down to the
sand lot meetings. He was considered
a good speaker, and was listened to
attentively by the bowling mobs. So
favorable an impression did he make
on them that they discussed the proba-
bilities of making him Mayor in case
his father died. At this meeting young
KallOch said that he hoped for peace,
at the request of his mother, and foI
the sake of his father, who, he thought
would certainly die ifexcited. He be-
lieved, however, that his father "would
live to tread on the sod over De
Young's grave. Continuing he said -
81 appeal to you, if De Young is not
killed by the law to help me kill him.
Kalloch, Sr., recovered, was elected
Mayor, and the matter appeared to die
out 1t seems now no Sever, that il
/ was only simmering, and the action o.
young Kalloch in shooting De Young
dead in his Office is an evidence that HI
did not forget his threat.

AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO SECURE
AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE CHAN
EEL OF THE CHRISTIANA.

AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE CHAN
EEL OF TIE oHRIsTIANA.
The old Wilmington Board of Trade,
after a lapse of existence for several
years held little meeting In the Maris
building, last night, to consider the
question Of asking Congress 70 make an
appropriation for the Improvement OF
the channel of the Christiania river.
There we're ten gentlemen present, and
an organization was effected with
George 8. Capelle as President and e,
A. Van Trump, Secretary.
The meeting first talked about the
appropriation for the improvement of
the mouth OF the Christiana harbor,
which was placed in the general bill
through the efforts of the City Council
committee, but did not think the
amount SIC, 900 large enough TO meet the
requirements Of the stream. The obstruc-
tions in the channel, below Third street
bridge and at othe- points, were spoken
of, and Capt. Kelley said vessels Of very
heavy draft could navigate the creek
only at high water.
The following resolution was submit
ed by K. Tatnall Warner, and s.iopted:
Res0tued, That q committee Of five be
appointed to confer with Gen. j. II &.
Macomb and Col. Ludlow, that, in CO.
operating with them an appropriation
may be secured from Congress to restore
to the Christiaua uniform draught of
twenty feet of water from the mouth of
the creek to the Delaware Mills (the
pulp works); end to urge upon our re-
