"SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS.
An Interview by a Bazoo Re-
porter With the Only Sur
viving Actor in the
Cast of "Our American Cousin, :"
Played When President Lin
coin Was AssasSinated.

Being aware that Mr. Hawk, of the "a
Mountain Pink" company, was one of the
cast of sour American Cousin" on the
memorable nigM of Lincoln's assassination,
a reporter called on him and secured a
brief talk with him about his recOllections
OF the tragic event.
II was playing an engagement with
Laura Keene at the time John
Dyott, now dead, and myself travelled
with her sustaining the leading roles,
while the balance of the cast was filled
from the stock companies in the cities
where we played. On the night of April
4, 1865, though nineteen wears ago ii
was playing ASA Trenehard" at Ford's
opera house, and while alone on the stage,
speaking at the time, was startled by a
pistol shot and supposed it was
back OF the scene, which was
what is termed front" one. Immediate.
ly afterwards Booth rushed upon the stage,
dressed as / had seen him in the afternoon
of the same day, bTandishing long knife
and shouted the latin quotation which has
since become famous the world over, "Sic
Semper Tyrannis' He was but six feet
from me at the time and turned and came
toward me, ms eyes giarlng
most wildly. /, not knowing
what had happened, thinking he was
making for me turned and ran. Booth
rushed around the scenes and through the
stage door and took flight in the manner
familiar to almost everyone. OF course
! the whole audience was in a terrible ex
citement when the startling intelligence
went the rounds that the president was
shot ~
What is your opinion of the story that
Booth is alive to-day at is all bosh. /
fully agree with George Alfred TowDsend's
recent article In the Century in which he
produces pnmistakable evidence of
Booths death"
Mr.. Hawk is still a young looking man,
and pleasant gentlemen in every respect
As an actor he enjoys the reputation of re-
liability in any role he undertakes.

An Old Feud Revived.

The readers of the BAzOo have not for
gotten the quarrel INDUCED in some time
ago between Mrs. John Clair and several of
her neighbors, resulting in the arrest of
Mrs. Clair and another woman. 1t will
also be remembered that Mrs. Clair vigor-
ousIy resisted arrest, and that officer Cos
sage was compelled TO use force IL order to
convey her TO the cooler, and that he was
tried for using cruelty towards a
prisoner, but was triumphantly vim
dictated. Yesterday war was renew
ed between the Clair and Lewis
factions and there was general melee, in
which the female members of the respective
households took an active part. No ar
rests were made, but it is probable that
there will be in the next few days, as the
end is not yet, and the warning elements
have donned their war paint.

What Is 1t p

The trial of the Elliott woman and the
girl Mary Hewitt, together with couple
of pimps, which attracted so much atten-
ton in the recorders court yesterday,
affords some food for reflection, as well as
a pointer to the officers of the law. The
finding of the jury in the case was a wise
and just one, but there were several con-
temptible, sneaking ours who testified in
tt at case who would conIaminate the con-
victs in the penitentiary by association with
them. A thing, nameless object, who
will hang around house of i'll fame and
refusing to work, living off of the proceeds
of a traffic which consigns the unfortunate
women to everlasting infamy, is the most
contemplate object on the face of God:
earth and would disgrace the meanest yell
low dog in existence to be found in his
company.

Mary Hewitt, the young woman ar.
rested with Mrs. Elliott, gave some exhi
bition of her vocal powers last night She
ton would make an excellent singer. She
is an unusually pretty girl and would
make hit on the stage.
"A pleasant tea party was given at the
residence of Mrs. Gledhill on Ohio street
Friday afternoon. The tea table was ele
gantly laid and number of ladies were
entertained, among them Mesdames Stat
ford, Meyer, Perry, Guild and one or two
others.
A man named Herman Snickerbacl
was ART sted by Officer McGhee yesterday
afternoon for drunkenness When placed
in the cooler he became very violent, and
used good deal of profane language. He
was at one time confined In the insane asy
lum at Fulton, and it would not be bad
idea to take him back, as he is not yet II
his right mind. Some of his friends paid
his fine and took him away in a wagon.
"A transfer wagon turned over on Eas
Third street Friday evening and came
very near resulting seriously to the driver
The wagon was loaded with two bed at
tresspS and when the driver threw them of
lie mules aec4-4e frightened, turned
square around and upset the wagon. Be.
ing unable to pull it up the street, they
kept running around in circle. The
driver was fastened in the seat and had il
not been for Officer Meyer, who stopped
the team, he would probably have beer
seriously injured.
