"The Two Johns" will make tn ings
lively at the Opera House this evening,
and no doubt will be greeted with o
large and apprec iative audience. The
company supporting the Johns is one OF
the best on the road, and never fail to
give entire satisfaction. The comedy
was written expressly for Messrs. Stew
art and Hart, and like suit of custom
made clothing, is made to fit, and fit 1t
does, in every particular. 1t affords
these two excellent actors abundant op.
portunity for the display of their won.
full powers, and makes the people laugh.
No one should fail to see it, as it is one
of the best comedys now on the stage.
The Comic Opera Company, under
the management of H. r. Jacobs,
prom ises a week of first class amuse-
ment, commencing next Monday night.
The " Mascotte" will be the opening
opera, and there is no doubt but it will
draw a crowded house.

and it is expected that the trips will be

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
OF Kentucky Congressman in WASH
ingtOn.

WAsHSGTGS, July 80.
w. w. CulbnrtsOn Of Kentucky shot him
self at his room in the National hotel here,
today and was taken to Providence hospital.
About minutes before ii o'clock Officer
Farrar was standing at the corner of 9th st.
and and Pennsylvania av., when five pistol
shots in quick succession rang out apparently
from a window over his head.
He rushed into the hotel, being joined by
Officer Lamb. The clerk had not heard the
firing and the officers passed through the
lobby unnoticed and ran up stairs.
As they were looking for the room key
turned in the door of No. % and Representa-
tive Culbertson stood before them with pistol
in hand and dripping with blood
The first thing he said ON seeing the officers
was, I'm afraid | hav mt done it, boys, |
want to, though, and will"
He seemed dazed and handing the pistol to
one of the officers, asked him to see if there
was another load in it, The officer told him
there was not, and he asked him to load it for
him.
This conversation occupied but little more
than a minute when the wounded man began
to stagger and the officers laid him
on the bed. Medical aid was sent
for, and in few moments Doctors
Townshend, w. c. Briscoe, B. G. Poole and
J. S. Mclean were doing what they could.
Two shots were found to have taken effect in
the back of the head, just below the base of
the brain, both balls going through both
walls of the skull. The brain had not been
injured, the doctors said, but the wounds are
of a serious character. The wounded man
lay in half unconscious state. After his
face had been bathed and the proper medical
attention rendered he recovered sufficiently
to talk little. He then felt of his own
pulse and whispered to the doctor that he
was afraid he was getting better. He of
fered no explanation of the act. When
asked where his wife was he replied at
Frankfort, but said not to send for her as he
was ashamed to meet her. 81 am afraid |
won't die now" he said, "but am bound to
do it, you can't help it, that's positive, no
use sending for any one" The only cause
assigned for Culbertson's attempted suicide
is depression resulting from drinking.
WASHINGTON, July 3l-l A. NJ.
Mr.. Culbertson is alive, but the physician
at the hospital have no hope of his recovery.
