been seen at the National Theatre this season.
Every scat was filed and standing-room even was
scarce, Miss Abbott is right when she declares
Juliet to be her best role for she certainly displays
In 1t greater lyric and dramatic force than In any
other part In her extensive repertoire. The love
scenes, especially the balcony scene, nre invested
with such delicate fervOr as to be positively be-
witching, while in the potion scene the horrors of
Juliets inauguration are expressed with such
intensity us TO fairly thrill the spectators. The
audience was enrap:ured and shOwered applause
upon the artistic most lavishy. Mr., castle acted
the part of Romeo to perfection and sang II very
credltably. Miss Pauline Maurcl as StcIGno was
very pleasing and sang the serenade so charm
ingly as TO call forth an energetic demand for an
encore Mr.. Ryso was very good aS the Fr0r and
Mr.. Stoddard acceptable as MerCutio. This after

Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1880-06-22

The Philadelphia Press yesterday in
dulged in tiresome and iil-tempered
TRADE against the Indiana supreme court
on account of it's late decision nullify-
ing the recent constitutional amend
ments and placing that state back in the
"OctOber list" The Press charges the
court with prostituting its power to serve
the exigencies of the Democratic party,
claiming the decision to have been rem
dered with the affirmative votes of four
Democratic justices, the one Republican
member dissenting. We are charitable
enough to believe that our esteemed con-
temporary did not know what it was
talking about in making this statement,
but the bottom is completely knocked
out of its plant all the same by the reve-
lation made by Justice Niblack, men,
ber of the court and himself delegate
to the Cincinnati convention, who tells
Cincinnati interviewer that he and a
Democratic associate voted to sustain
the validity of the amendments in ques-
ton, two other Democratic justices
voted to reverse them, and the deciding
vote was cast by judge elected as an
independent, but of Republican antece-
cedents, who voted against the constitu-
tionality of the amendments.

Speaker Randall Serenaded.

The Randall club, of Philadelphia, pa
raded last night, and serenaded Hon. S. j.
Randall at his headquarters at the St.
Nicholas hotel. After repeated calls Mr..
Randall appeared OH the balcony and
spoke as follows:
Fellow citizens of Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania 1t is a source of great graf
iticatiOn for me to see you tonight. That
you. as fellow-citizens of Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania should attend this great
Democratic national convention affords me
intense pleasure. l am satisfied, from
every indication about us, that the de-
alterations of this great body will be
entirely harmonious, and that coming
here as Democrats honestly endeav-
oring to do that which will best subserve
the interests of our party and government
we shall go home with no differences be-
tween us and with the satisfaction of
knowing that we have discharged a good
and honorable duty, with the knowledge
that the ticket we will present to the pub
lie. will receive their endorsement in No
vember next. The Democratic party has
been tried in defeat, and with every defeat
it makes greater strides towards purifying
itself and sho wing that its purpose is to
honestly administer public affairs. 1t will
grow year by year until this federal gov
ernment will be under the control Of men
of principle, men who place their entire
reliance upon the constitution and the
laws. | thank you again for this greet
ing.
At the conclusion of the speech Mr..
Randall was loudly cheered.

house.
Sunday afternoon Raffaelo Bontanti, a
prisoner in the Richmond Jail, struck an
other prisoner named Walter Fearney-
hough on the head with billet of wood,
fracturing his skull, from the effects Of
which he died. The cause Of the deed is
said to have been that Bontanti's fellow
prisoners were in the habit of teasing him
in various ways and that finally becoming
aggravated beyond self-control he attacked
Fearneyhough, with the result above
stated.

Much damage was done by thunder

ternoon. Several persons were injured,
and one was killed by lightning. A storm
of unusual violence ragged near Napanee.
Ont, on Sunday afternoon. In less than
two hours 5! inches of rain fell, and it was
accompanied by hailstones Gas large as

in buildings was smashed, whole fields of
wheat and rye were ruined and fowls were
killed.
The Upper Mississippi continues flooded.
At McGregor, Iowa, it has risen more than
twenty feet, and travel on all roads, ex-

At Dubuque there was an additional rise
of eight inches on Saturday and all the
mills were suspended. No trains are run

Look to the Census.

That many persons should have been
overlooked by the census enumeratOrs,
in the recent hastily taken enumeration,
was to have been expected, and it was for
the purpose of supplying such omissions
and correcting other mistakes that the
census enumerators are required to deposit
their books with the prothonotary, and
after having given five days notice, sit in
the court house to receive names omitted
and make all necessary corrections.
A very casual examination of the books
already filed with the prothonotary, dis
close many omissions. In single precinct
of one of the city wards, a score of names
are known to have been omitted in sim
gle block, and scattering names omitted in
other sections of the precinct.
1t was fully believed before the enumer-
alton that the population of Lancaster was
not less than %, 600. The returns made by
the enumerators makes it less than &c. 600.
There can be no doubt these low figures
have been caused by the failure of the
officers to find the residents or their care
lessness in transcribing the names. Let
every citizen who is not sure that his name
and the names of all his family have been
taken, examine the books in the prothono-
tary's office and see that the names are
placed thereon. Lancaster cannot afford
to be placed lower down in the list of
cities than her true population places her.

CRIMES CARNIVAL.


The Hangman's Heavy Harvest of a Day.
Sunday night at about II o'clock, a ne
gro named William Burke, in a supposed
fit of jealousy, shot Pat Harris, also color
ed, in the mouth. He then locked him
self up in his house with his wife,
and, armed with loaded musket, defied
arrest, threatening to kill any one who
attempted to enter. The police surround
ed the house and proceeded to break
in. A pannel was knocked out of the door,
through which Burke's wife tried to make
her exit from the house, but before she
had succeeded her husband struck her
over the head with the musket, crushing
in her skull and scattering her brains. The
police then entered and secured the mur-
derer. While all this was going on large
crowd of negroes gathered, and when they
learned that Burke had killed his wife, the
excitement became intense and an effort

closely cropped whiskers.
John Kelly is beefy. He is aging rapidly.
His mold of face is Milesian in the ex-
treme, with the square-cut lower jaw and
tightly-cOmpressed lips, which Indicate
pugnaciousness and tenacity. In dress he
is neat. His linen is more immaculate than
his record.
Archie Bliss, Brooklyn's congressman, is
among the handsome men here. His dress
is the model of the tailOr's art, and his
heart as big as is usually given to an OK.
He is one of the rich congressman, who
loves his wife, his horses and his friends.
Nick Muller, who represents the Five

Carrier Pigeons Captured.

Milton ]. Ruth, pigeon fancier OF this
city has had a rather strange experience
within the past few days n strange cir-
rier, alighted at his pigeon cote, 10 East
German street, and was captured. An er-
animation of the bird showed that it he
longed to Joseph II. HussOn No. III
Broadway, N Y, the wing-feathers bear
ing his stamp and that it had been slightly
wounded by being shot in the first joint of
the wing. It is supposed to be one of the
birds started by Mr.. Husson from Steubcn
vile, Ohio, rs a contestant in the great fly
from Steubenville to New York.
Yesterday Mr.. Ruth captured another
wounded carrier on the court house pave
ment. The bird was very tame and was
picked up by hand without trouble. 1t
was stamped with the name Of Samuel
Erdly, Trenton, New Jersey, and had as"
been shot in the first joint of the wing.
1t is certainly remarkable that tw" lame
birds, so far from home, and their homes
so far apart, and both belonging to noted
pigeon fanciers should find hospitable
quarters in the same cote and be cared for
by third fancier. Mr.. Ruth has notified
the owners of the birds that they are in
his possession.

Another Declination From Seymour

Herald Cincinnati special.
The doubts in regard to the sincerity of
Governor Seymour's declination assumed
such phases late last evening that the

elicit an answer at which the worst among
his enemies and the most officious of his
professed friends could no longer cavil.
The following was the dispatch to Cove rn-
or Seymour.
1t is asserted here that Ex-Governor Til
den's withdrawal removes contingency
held in reserve under your declination and
that you will now consent to be a candi-
date.
The following is Governor Seymour's
reply, is SO unequivocal that it will probab-
ly be conceded to answer all demands for
an absolute and unqualified refusal of the
