Harry Walkers Theatre Comique last night
by the action Of an impulsive young Padu-
cahian-one of the "fast," or "knowing,
young men, who can't be roped into any
thing-who are ION to" every "racket," you
know. One of Paducahs "lah de dah
bhoys," who looks upon the things of this
mundane sphere with critical eye, won
ders what there can be to mystify, or excite
the admiration, of the common people upon
this little planet, and longs for other worlds
to explore. He was one OF large audience,
having taken seat not far from
the stage. He was there in, time to hear
the first note of the orchestra, too, and when
the curtain arose and disclosed to view a
circle of richly dressed young men and
women, who sang, joked, told stories, etc,
he was as much interested as any one pres
ent, and great deal more "taken in, as
his subsequent action proved. Each mem
Der of the company, except Miss Dolly
Foster, had sung, and she, when called
upon, hesitated. But being urged, she be-
gan and had proceeded but afew lines when
someone in one of the boxes cried, "Awh,
hush up" She stopped, Of course; but was
induced, after much urging and after the
interlocutor had severely repremanded the
interrupter in the box, to try again. Again
she was interrupted in the same coarse
manner; again she sat down, expressing
unmistakable indignation at the insult.
But as she sat down, the interlocutor and
the white heafsd young man in the audi
ence popped up simultaneously. The for
mer, Stimulating anger, stepped to the front
of the stage and demanded that the box
from which the interruption had come be
cleared, and the latter, with face burning
red and eyes flashing fire, leaving
overcoat and hat behind, made a violent
dash for the door, confronted
Mr.. Walker in the saloon and demanded
while his right hand rested on his hip
"wh--where can get that--that--. Sh--
show me to the boxes, say, an--and--I'll
shoot that - who insulted that LADY,
Mr.! Walker stumbled" in moment. He
assumed stern expression of countenance
told the young man to return to his seat in
the auditory, that he was running the insti-
tuition and would have the unruly occupant
Of the box attended to. The young man
returned, but the muces of his rubicund
face quivered with suppressed rage and his
hand clutched nervously as though it
would grasp tho butt Of weapon. He was
greeted by the audience with roars of
laughter, but it was not until the third in.
teruption had taken place and the interloc-
utor had blindly fired blank cartridge at
the offensive occupant Of the box, which
was followed by stuffed dummy being
thrown over the railing and kicked about
upon the stage with vengeance, that the
knowing young man knew, "you know"
that he had been badly "taken in." For
flat contradiction of the foregoing apply to

The Guiteau trial has been adjourned
until Saturday, when the jury will be in
structed, the testimony having closed Wed
nesdsy. The important point in the in,
structions will be that relating to insanity
as to where the burden Of proof shall
rest. 1t was formerly considered part OF
the duty of the prosecution to prove the
prisoner sane, in conformity with the Ian
guage of the indictment, "that the defend
ant being of sane mind" etc. In recent
years, however, this has been changed, and
the highest legal authorities now concur in
regarding insanity as an affirmative propo-
sition, set forth by the defense, and to be
proved by the defense. If this view is
taken by Judge Cox he will instruct the
jury that Guiteau's insanity must be proved
beyond reasonable doubt before he can
be acquitted. On the other theory it would
devolve upon the prosecution to prove
Guiteau's sanity beyond a reasonable
doubt. The difference is an essential one,
as will readily be perceived.

The resolution passed in the council
last Tuesday night, requiring the Wabash
railroad to place hagmen at the most i'm
portant street crossings on Commercial av-
enue, is good one, even though it be but
imperfectly enforced. The crossings nam
"a in the resolution--Sixth, Eighth, Four
teenth aud. Twentieth streets--are very
much in use by teams heavily laden and by
pedestrians, who are always more or less in
danger from passenger trains and engines.
| The Illinois Central railroad, on Ohio levee,
has for years observed the practice Of run
ming very slowly when going through the
popuous portion Of the city and of send
ing man out ahead Of the engine at every
important crossing to see that no accident
occurs TO either teams or citizens. The OBJ
ject Of the ordinance requiring flag men is
certainly to prevent the accidental destruc.
ton of human life and of property by
passing railroad trains or engines, and this
object ia well attained by the practice
adopted by the Illinois Central railroad. II
is certainly not necessary that mon should
be constantly stationed at the crossings
named, when, for hours during the day
and night, no trains pass along the avenue.
1t is necessary, however, that some one
should be on hand when trains do pass to
see that the track is clear, and this will be
effected by the resolution and by the ordi.
| nance.

LAMsON THE POISONER HANGED
Details OF the ExeeutTOn-VIeVVs OF
the London Press.

LONDON, April 29.-Dr. Lamson was
hanged at nine o'clock this morning. He
was calm and composed.
Only three reporters were present at the
hanging Of DIR. Lamson, the prisoner, who,
till the time of starting to the gallows, had
been calm and composed. He looked very
pale and detected and was very nervous.
He was supported by warders on either side,
and was with difficulty able to descend the
steps to the yard. He was met by Marwood,
the executioner at the foot Of the steps. The
doctor hardly seemed to appellate what
was going on. From the steps there was a
distance of about sixty yards to traverse to
the gallows. The doctor was supported
with difficulty from this point to the
scsffod. He swsYed backwards and for
ward, and stared wildly around him.
When he was placed under the moose the
chaplain, who appeared to be much affect
ed, then began to read a portion OF the
burial service. The doctor, in the mean
while, was supported by two jailers, and
his legs were strapped. just before the
cap was adjusted he cast down his eyes with
look of despair. The drop was nine feet,
and death was instantaneous. The chap
lain remained at the gallows, repeating the
Lords prayer. The body remained hanging
for one hour.
The Lancet SAYS it utterly fails to perceive
a particle OF evi ence demonstrating the
insanity of DR.. Lamson.
The NesCS thinks that If Lamson had been
reprleved on the ground of insanity, It would
be impossible hereafter to punish any crimi-
nails who could show that indulgence in
sedstives and narcotics had weakened their
physical and mental condition.

The New York stock MARK ct.

NEW YORK, April 2S-Share speculation
opened irregular, but prices in general were
s to Is per cent. higher than at yesterdays
closing. In the early dealings the market
was strong and recorded an advance of a
IL per cent, New Jersey Central, Louis
vile and Nashville and Missouri Pacific
being most conspicuous therein, while Ohio
and Mississippi sold down ~ per cent. to
3315. After this speculation became dull,
ana in the early part>of the afternoon the
market declined, with occasional fractional
recoveries, to ~ per cent., New Jersey
Central, Standard (mining), Lake Shore,
Michigan Central, Missouri Pacific and New
York Central being prominent in the de-
cline.
This was succeeded by a recovery of u to
% per cent, the latter for Wabash pre-
ferred. while Lake Erie and Western sold
up q to 309s, but in the late dealings the
market was again weak, and prices fell off
d to q per cent, Lake Shore, New Jersey
Central Louisville and Nashville, Manhat-
tan Elevated and st. Paul preferred being
prominent in the downward movement. In
the final dealings some shares recovered a

THE STAR REUTERS.
Tyner ana Gibson DENY That They
Were Bribed.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.- -Ex Assistant Post
master General Tyner says there is no truth
in Reerdell's story to ex Postmaster General
James and ex.Attorney General MacVesgh
that the mail contractors ring presented
him with 1900 shares of mining stock, or
with anything else, to influence his official
action.
A. M. Gibson makes similar denial, and
adds that at the time he is said to have had the
mining stock he was not In the service of
the Post Office Department, and might, with
entire propriety, have purchased from these
people mining stock. Gibson savs anly
part of Reerdell's statements to MacVeagh
and James was true, and that much of It
was manufactured for the purpose of hood
winking these officers that Reerdell had no
intention of serving the interests of justice,
but onlv wished to redress a grievance
against Dorsey and escape punishment him
self. The examination of witnesses in
Reerdell's case proceeded to-day and was
accompanied with a constant wrangle be-
tween the lawyers, counsel for the defense
objecting to the Introduction of nearly all
the evidence presented, and the court steadi-
" ruling against their objections and In
favor of admitting the testimony. The day
was spent in presenting documents from
the files OF the Post Office Department.

BELMONT-BLAINE.
The New York Congressman,s De-
fense.

WARRINGTON. April 2S-The following
letter was sent to Chairman Williams, of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs, this
afternoon BY Representative Perry Belmont,
of New York:
MY DEAR SIR-In the examination of
yesterday and the days Immediately pre-
ceding provocation so gross and persistent
was offered to me by witness testifying be-
fore your committee that was led to use Ian
guage which, although unparliameutary, did
properly describe his conduct and my ap-
probation OF his character. The witness
under examination had seen fit to criticise
questions addressed by me on a former occa-
sion to another witness, first, because quo
tation marks appeared In the printed record
of such questions, the responsibility for
which | disavowed, calling attention at the
same time to the fact that the form of the
question negatived the idea that Twas quot
Ing from these dispatches, and secondly,
because OF the Interpretation placed by me
on these dispatches.
This was proper matter for argument,
and the witness had every opportunity to
present and explain his construction of the
dispatches signed by him. He chose rather
to insist upon forcing me to change my
opinion regarding the meaning of the dis
patches, and, when l declined to make a
change, my belief being positive and well
founded, he thought it proper on
public occasion to use language
personally offensive. 1t was my desire and
purpose yesterday to put an end to any
further continuance of those personalities
before the committee, and l therefore pre-
ferred a less public treatment thereof by
myself.
Having been surprised into making reply
in the presence of the committee of a
character such as seems to my deliberate
Judgment would have been elsewhere under
the circumstances entirely proper, and
which expresses my opinion perfectly, moth
ing further In the nature of private or per-
sOnal notice of the witness is required of
me. These parliamentary personalities
should have no place on the records of the
committee, and Ic cheerfully leave the method
of dealing with them to the discretion of
your body. Very truly YOURS,
PERRY BELMONT
Hon. Charles @. Williams, Chairman Of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
