PADDY RYAN SHOT.
Suspicious That he Was Shot by his niIssre,
In Chicago

Suspicious That he Was Shot by his NiIstress
In Chicago.
Sporting circles in Chicago arc in fer
ment ever tho fate and whereabouts of
Paddy Ryan, Sullivan's competitor in the
prize ring. Exactly where he was and in
what condition was not known last even
ing. About o'clock in the evening
Paddy's house at the corner of 39th and
Lascelle streets, was visited by party of
men in carriage, and with them was the
pugi!ist with his head swathcd in banda
ges. Brief replies to the anxious inquiries
made it known that Paddy had been shot
IN some mysterious manner, which neither
he nor his friends wished to mako public.
faddys vile was away at a
picnic at Cedar lake, popular
suburban fishing resort, and the house
was closed. The carriage party hammered
at the door in vain, and soon after drove
away without giving any hint as to their
destination. The police arc at sea for the
present, and know OF no afiray in which
faddy could have been concerned. 1t was
discovered later oD. however, that one
oadie Wasserman, young who is said to
have captured Ryan's affections, TO tho
disgrace OF his wife, had tried to commit
suicide. Putting the two things together
it is assumed that Ryan has been shot by
his mistress, though both at last accounts,
eluded the endeavors of the police to dis
cover their whereabouts. Ryan has been
on spree for day or two, and when in
that condition is by no means a lamb in
ais methods. At his saloon on the leyee
all knowledge of the shooting was s.outly
disclaimed but was evident that some
thing had happend to the prize.fghter, and
the toughs in the vicinity wero eagerly
discussing tho probabilities as to his hay-
ing been ''done up" but no one was pre-.
pared to give the slightest information of
either Paddy or the Wassernan woman.

Native City.


Native City.
John l.. Sullivan, tho pugilist, has been
visited by a party of Now York gentlemen.
He entertained them royalty at his gor-
geOus saloon on Washington street and
spoke freely about the coming glove con-
test between himself ard Ryan.
"The match will COMO Off," he said,
eff we can get hall, and guess there
will be no trouble on that score, for the
simple reason that we will give just such
gentlemanly exhibition as l have given
before in Boston, when, as you know,
hundreds of our best ctizens were present
and afterwards expressed their approba
ton. 1t is not to be sluggin' match,
rs the papers wrongfully called my bout
with Slade in New York, but simply a
display of science between men who know
how to put their hands up and defend
themselves just as readily as IL they were
attacked upon the street."
How about Rial Stoddard and other
persons they want to put up against
you?'
Let them como right along auy or all
Of them," said the champion, leaning back
in his chair and smiling, they will find
me ready at all times to accommodate
them. l do not intend to engage in a
prize fight Again with baro hands, but 1
will endeayOr to maintain to the best of
my ability in a glove match with any
man, four rounds, Queensbury rules, the
honor of my native city and preserve un
tarnished the title l have earned. Dick
Fox has been hunting high and low and
seaching every corner of England and this
country to find a man to beat me, but he
hasn't got the pole yet and do not intend
he shall if I can prevent it. Mace brought
his Maori from the other side of the globe
and Madden is probably of tho opinion
that Mitchell is the darling that can down
me. You know the result with tho big
fellow from Australia. Well, let the rest
come along and put UP their money and
thoy will not have very long timo to wait
for q cover.

THE OPERA HOUSE OPENED.
FirsL Appearance OF Armstrong; Minstrels
Here.

FIRST Appearance Of Arms,rong's Minstrels
Here.
Fulton opera house was opened for the
season last evening, the attraction being
Armstrong Brothers minstrels. This is a
new organization which started in Balti-
more last week. They appeared in Wash
ington on Wednesday night and did not
arrive here until $50 last evening. They
at once made street parade, with good
band and presented fine appearance.
Notwithstanding the heat the opera house
was filled last night. The entertainment
was very good and pleased the people
better than that of many older troupes.
Something new is introduced in the
first part, where the performers sit around
as though at a picnic. Some of them
were dressed in female attire and the hand
occupied al elevated position in the rear.
There were six end men but none of them
are great comedians by any means and
their songs were very poor. Ballads wero
we'll rendered by Banks Winter and George
W. Harley and the instrumental music
was feature. Silro carried the house
juggling, &C., in tho second part, which
werthy of notice were tho dancing of the
AA A"SCo1, an"S'S"i sso' Va Lou OIL"
Hanson and the contOrtiOn act of Young
DeBar. The entertainment closed with a
sketch entitled "Fun IN q Smoking Car"
The interior of the opera house has
undergone somewhat Of a renovation since
it was last opened to the public. Besides
the retouching of the scenes where it was
rendered necessary, those portions of the
woodwork which needed painting received
their proper attention. New mating is
also laid in the aisles, aud the place is now
fully equipped for tho accommodation Of
the public for the coming season.

In tho grand lodge of knights of
Pythias at Scranton yesterday, E. B..
MOrey was elected grand guard. The
report of tie committee on laws was
adopted, 1Sl to G7. The question whether
members three months in arrears could be
denied tho constitutional privilege of en-
tering tho lodges was decided by the COM
mittee in favor of the members. It SAYS
the right OF member to enter his
lodge, and the penalties which may be
imposed on him for the non.payment of
dues and other duties, arc not ritual but
constitutional questions, and tbs insertion
of regulations upon such matters in the
ritual does not make the matters rituals

The brute Gaffey who fatally assaulted
w. A. ]. Fiss, an inmate of the Norris.
town hospital for the insane, has begun .
libel suit against the New York Police
Gesette, the ground of which is his excep-
tion to the manner in which the assault
was illustrated by that paper. The un-
blushing assurancewhich enables this man,
while awaiting trial for capital offence,
TO thus flaunt his debasing:act in the face
of the public is only equalled by his cool
claim of the reward offered for his own
arrest. Penitencc for tho cowardly deed
seems farthest from his thought, and he
appears to revel in tho notoriety that hia
base brutality occasioned.
The story that Roscoe Conkling, he OF
the hyperion curl and magnificent political
torso, while at the Mammoth hot springs,
jumped unknowingly into steaming batb
and like the man in the bramble bush
jumped out again with even more precipi-
tation, is said to be founded in fact. 1t il
even stated that the great man in the
agony of his pain SO far forgot his dignity
as to exclaim, "I'm scalded." The ex
senator found that the chilling reserve
with which he has ever surrounded HIM
self among strangers was very made
quate protection against hot water. Hi
mode of getting into the bath without in
quiring its temperature is very much of a
piece with his political action in 1881,
when, d:sdaining to feel the public pulse
he dashed into the maelstrom of resigna
ton, from which his constituents never
thought it worth while to fish him out. N
doubt Mr.. Conkling has Gro this reached
the conclusion that looking before leapin:
is not such a bad plan after all.

fed and helped us by exemplifying the
Christian life. In his official relation to our
