HACKED WITH a HATOHEr.
A Negro Holds HIS wife While An"
other Woman Chops Her With
Ratchet.

Last night, about half-past ten O'Clock,
It was reported in the city that terrible
crime had been committed on the banks Of
the Ogeechee canal, opposite the Paper
Milsl, and a eolored woman had been
brutally murdered.
Upon investigating the affair, we sscer-
tanned that colored woman, whose name
could not he learned, living on Williams
street near Fahm street, has long suspected
her husband of being false to her, as he did
not give her proper support. Last night she
managed to get on his track and traced him
to q house on the other side Of the Ogee-
chez canal, opposite the Paper Mills.
She raped at the door Of the shantv, which
was opened by a colcred woman, whom she
asked II her husband mentioning the fell
lows name) was there. The woman re-
piled that he was, and Immediately after
the man made his appearance. Some words
ensued between them, when the
negro, Selling 8 billet of wood, dealt
his wife q terrible lick, nearly
knocking her down. He then grabbed her
and called on the other woman, who sailed
in with keen edged Ratchet and struck the
poor defenceless wife a fearful lick across
the head, iDficting an ugly wound, which
will probably result in her death.
The rumpus attracted the attention OF
parties living In the vicinity, who fastened
to ascertain the cause, and found the wo-
man lying on the ground, bleeding and
senseless. She was placed in q boat and
brought across the canal and carried to her
home on Williams street, where physician
was summoned. At last accounts her con-
ditiOn was considered very critical.
The affair soon became known in that
quarter Of the city, and five cOlored men
volunteered to accompany Policeman Evans
across the canal to assist in arresting the
parties. At half past eleven o'clock they
proceeded in boat to the other side OF the
canal and at once fastened to
the house. The man and woman
were gone, but there were four little
children. the oldest not over six years of
age, in the house, who, as may be supposed,
knew nothing Of the tragical scene that had
occurred at the threshold of their home. The
little ones who had thus been deserted were
the children OF the woman who had COM
mitted the deadly assault with the Ratchet.
The parties searched around the place,
but were unable to discover any trace Of
the guilty pair, and Il is feared they have
escaped, at least for the present. The
| Creates excitement was occasioned among
the colored people IN the vicinity OF the
canal when the facts became known, and
had the guilty parties been captured 1t
would have Jared III with them.
Every effort will be exerted to secure
! their capture, and IL is thought that before
twentY-foUr hours elapse they will be in du-
rance vile.

Apropos of wines, the Prince of Wales has
just paid high compliment to the cham
payne of G. H. Mumm & Co. His Royal
Highness is to dine with the members Of the
Savage Club on Saturday next at Willis
Rooms, and a wine list was submitted to
the royal guest to make his own selection
of wines. He put pencil mark in front of
"Mumm's," and beyond suggesting glass
of decent sherry with his fish, intimated to
the gentlemen representing the committee
that he did not mix his liquors-in other
words, two wines were quite enough for
him during dinner. His Royal Highness is
right. l wish people generally would fol-
low his example. 1t is no uncommon thing
to see six wines down on some menus
sherry, hook, champagne, Burgundy, Mo-
selle, port, and liQueur-and then people

The desire to see Prof. Zera, the Msgi-
clan, at the opera house last night drew an
audience that filled private boxes, parquette,
dress circle and galleries to overlooking.
The entertainment was given in four parts
-lst Magic; ID. Ventriloquism; Sd. Krial
Suspension; 4th. Distribution of presents.
Before the half of part first had been per-
formed the audience saw it was success,
and the Professor became popular. Without
any exception 1t was the best entertainment
of the kind we ever attended. The tricks
and ventriloquism were marvellous; the
aerial suspension was truly wonderful. In
the distribution OF prizes, Courtney Tallev,
son Of A w. Talley, held ticket No. SIS,
which drew the SIS set Of china. W. n.
WOodson (49) drew the silver watch, and 4.
o Sandridge (No. 93) drew the barrel of
-four. The following notice from the IN
der Appeal shows how the Professor was re-
garded in Petersburg, from whence he just
came:
"ZERA THE MAGICIAN.-There is no better
evidence of merit than success and this
Prof. Zera has attained In an eminent de-
gree. His audience last night was larger
than that of either Monday or Tuesday
night.
"Of the entertainment we may say in gen.
eral terms that It was ss good, If not better,
than either OF the other two, and besides the
usual number Of smaller presents, the prin-
cipal presents were increased to four, In
acknowledgment of the large attendance.
"Mr James Belcher drew the silver watch,
Mrs. Rountree the china tea set, Mr.. T. O.
Watts drew the barrel Of -four, and Miss
Lucy Perry the chamber set.
"To night the lucky number draws gold
watch.
''The drawing is perfectly fair and no one
can complain"
Performances will be given every evening
this week.-AdU.
