TALK ABOUT THE DUEL.
no MEETING YESTERDAY; BUT PRO-
BADLY ONE TO-DAY.
and Talk I'm Richmond
and Elsewhere about the Affair
Between Messrs. Befrne
and Elum.

Sunday and yesterday will long be re-
membered in this city as days OF anxiety
and excitement. The people wanted to
hear from Mr.. Beirne and Mr. Elan. They
desired to know il duel had been fought !;
II not, when II would be, and where was
Mr.. Elan and where was Mr.. Beirne
Wherever there was one man in position
to talk to another he asked about the. duel
lists. The threshold Of the church was not
too sacred for the inquiry; nor was any
mart Of trade too busy for people to ask
and answer the fashionable interrogatory OF
the day. No man said anything about the
weather. No man said anything that
was not strictly business about anything
except the duel. For a time. indeed,
the amentable stabbing affair Of Sunday
was discussed, but when Il was learned
that Mr.. Crutchfield might possibly sur
vive that was passed over, and talk went
drifting back to the duel.

FAY Templeton in the Mascotte

Last night at Music Hall, Mss FAY
Templeton appeared before a crowded
house, as Bettina in the "Mascotte.u
Her rendering of the character is GER
tainly unique. Possessing fine con-
tralto voice, and remarkable histrionic
talents, she at once possessed herself
of the affection and sympathy of her
immense audience. She throws into
her acting a degree of vivacity seldom
seen, her by-play and dialogue pos
sessng a charm which proved simply
irresistible and eliciting the most rap
turous applause. Her celebrated
"Gobble" song was applauded to the
echo, and was encored again and
again. Miss Templeton throws into
the character a certain individuality
which is wonderfully charming. She
is supported by powerful company,
the members of which are thoroughly
equal to their parts and render them
well. The character of "Pippo" is
finely presented by Mr.. Seth NJ.
Crane, whose singing is worthy of
special mention. Miss Alice Vane
also sustains the part of "Fiamettan
with great credit, and adds much to
the attraction of the performance.
Whatever criticism the opera itself
may be'open to, there is no doubt that
rendered by this company, it is one of
the most pleasing OF modern produc-
tons, and we confidently predict for it
most pronounced success. Allen

MRS. WARD.
A Sensation In Omaha Caused by a Hand
some Woman.

some woman.
Chicago, February IA special dis
patch from Omaha saws. A sensation
has been stirred up here to-day by Mrs.
Matilda A. Ward bringing two suits
against James Bonner, furniture
dealer. The first suit is brought in the
police court, the object being to secure
protection against alleged threats
made verbally and in letters against
Mrs. Ward. The second suit is brought
in the district court for SANDER,
damages being laid at 5000. Mrs
Ward is very handsome woman, and
the mother of several children, she
having son u years old She has
long been prominent member in the
First Methodist church, in which also
James Bonner 10 a shining light. She
il II sister to Bonncr's wife and also
cousin of Bonner. She claims that
Bonner has n long time past paid un-
due attention TO her, has logged her
footsteps about town, to and from
church, and greatly annoyed her. He
even went so far, she AYERS, as TO sug-
gest that she get divorced from her
husband. and that he would secure a
divorce from his wife, and then they
would get married In his letters h e
showed TINT he was jealous of
her, and intinlated that if he could
not have her he would do some
thing to make himself and her die
together and lie in their shrouds, as Il
dead trouble is better than q living
one. Mrs. Ward finally gave the
whole thing away to her friends and
to the church authorities and aske d
for advice, and ut this juncture Bonner
Is alleged to have confessed that he
had had criminal intercourse with
Mrs. Ward for number of years. This
was too much, and she Immediately
took steps to refute the SANDER, which
she asserts is malicious, false, and ut
tered for revenge. Bonner was served
with the papers this evening. He
says he can stand it, and intimated
that he would reiterate his statement
as 20 criminal intercourse rs he could
not tell II lie. The scandal will prob
ably also be Investigated by the
church.
