Frantic After Fun.

San Francisco, March 14.-The sale
of tickets to-day for PATHS second ap-
pearance on Tuesday next resulted in a
rush and riot greater than that of
Wednesday. The crowd was over
fifteen hundred strong and they burst
in the doors Of the grand opera house.
and smashed all the plants and pictures
in their way. The fury of the crowd
was 70 great that a young boy who
happened to be in the way was picked
up by a man and hurled through the
side door of the vestibule. The body
was badly hurt. Mems coats and
women's dresses were torn from their
backs. Several women were seriously
injured and many tainted. The crowd
threatened to tear the box Office down
and gut the whole building unless the
box office was opened. At this moment
spectators suddenly appeared offering
five dollar tickets for fifteen dollars.
The crowd gave them quickly to under
stand that they had better not repeat
the offer unless they wanted to be torn
to pieces. They then smashed in the
windows of the box Office. The agent
escaped and sent for a detachment of
police. After a hard struggle and
arrests made order was re.established.
The announcement was subsequently
made that no tickets would be sold at
the box office and that purchasers
would have to step into the office one at
a time. This was toe much for the
exasperated crowd and a majority of
them walked off swearing and dis
gusted. Mapleson vas arrested and
locked up in the city prison this after
o o for violating the fire ordinance,
but was released on bonds,

set KY. He professed religion on

to the last. The execution was pri-
vate. The drop broke Slazel's neck,

%atrocious murders near Point burnside,

asleep, took an Ike and deliberately
crushed all of his three companions
skulls and rifled their pockets of about
sixty dollars, all the money he could
2ud, taking also a hat and a pair of
boots belonging to one of the murdered
men. Slazel riddled the bodies with
bullets after the murder then threw the
bodies of the two Adairs over a cliff
100 feet and vas about to throw that

The Tamai Wells Battle.

London, March 14.-Further details
tween Graham's forces and the rebels
near the Tamai wells continue to ar
rive. During the confusion which
ensued when the Arabs made their
wild rush upon the British lines and
caused them to retreat the newspaper
reporters and other noncombatants
took part in the fray and used their
revolvers freely and with deadly effect.
After the battle Osman's camp and
three villages were burned. Among
the trophies Osman's standard was
taken and Tewhk Beyes re-captured,
The British loss was considerably
heavier than at first reported. The
number killed reaches one hundred and
the wounded one hundred and fifty.
General Graham's forces are returning
to Suakim. Osman Digna fled to the
hills and the Arabs retired before the
English slowly and sullenly. They
walked away as if sauntering through
q Do6hoiI WIN VIGIL IL lOIuCu vi
swinging at their sides. Many were
shot down but this did not hasten their
companions speed. Judges of a native
character think the Arabs are SO allied
by family ties that a great loss of life
will appall them and break their faith
in MahdI and their sheikhs.
1t was impossible to take the prison
ers. The wounded Arabs would lie
motionless without uttering a single
cry or a moan, and watch their chance
to stab the advancing British, with
knife or spear. The victors walked
among the wounded as among so many
vipers; wounded Arabs killed the
British during the night. Another at
tempt was made to stab Col. Stewart
while his aid-de-camp was giving the
wounded men water. Admiral Hewitt
to day sent out a fresh circular to the
tribes, warning them that If they do
not obey the summons to submit the
fate of the Arabs who fell at Teb, and
Tamaniby will overtake them.
