AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY.
Lord Coleridge this morning visited the United
states Supreme Court at the Capitol. BY half-paSt
II there was only ''standng ROOM outside the bar
of the court, and very little OF that Some of the
best seats, however reserved by the officers OF
the court, fact which made the democratic gorge
rise In the thrOats OF many who denied admit
tance to them. At II O'Clock promptly the Justices
came upon the bench. The attention Of the spec
tatorS was at once rivetted upon TALL slender eld-
ery gentleman, who entered with Chief Justice
Waite, and stood beside him. while the usual 90
yeZ!' was being cried. He was known to be Lord
CoeTdge, as he was the only one OF the row of eld
erly gentlemen who did not wear judicial robe.
The presence OF Lord Coleridge did not create
ripple OF disturbance n the proceedings Of the court
ment in a pending case: few minutes after
O'Clock the Lord Chief Justice took his leave the
court. The justices OF the court were in their
places, and bowed him out with much SOlemnity

other members of the committee OF the bar before

Affray Between Editor and Artist.
MR.. HANSEN ATTACKS JOHN O. THOMPSON WITH A
CowHIDE-THE LATTER FIRES REVOLVER AT HIS
ASSAILANT.
Some excitement was caused on street. near the
National Theater, last evening by an affray be-
tween John G, Thompson, editor OF the Sunday
Chronicle, and Mr.. Christian II. Hansen, Danish
artist. Mr.. Hansen had a grievance on account of
some criticisms made upon him In the Chronicle. 1t
appears from the statements of witnesses that the
two met and had some words, and were about part
ing when Hansen turned and struck Thompson with
a cOwhide. Thompson sought shelter from him In
the lobby OF the theater, and when Hansen turned
to leave fired a shot from a revolver, which, how
ever: went wide OF its mark. Hansen surrendered
himself to police officer, and at the station de-
posted $40 collateral for his appearance. MIR.
Thompson was recently assaulted In the street in
Indianapolis by Mr.. Harry C. New, of the Indian
apolis Journal
In the Police Court this morning c. n Hansen
appeared and was charged with affray, and re-
leased on collateral Prosecuting Attorney Moore
said he would ask that the case be continued until
the 23d inst, and would ask for warrant against
Mr.. Thompson.
