SUIT FOR DEMONSTRATION Judge Nc
rior Court, yesterday, the case of Mary f.
Arts VS.. James T. Day, for damages in the
sum of $1,000, was tried by jury. Young
Young q Dunn appeared for the plaintiff
! and Henry Edgerton and L. s Taylor for
the defense. Complainant, who had been
for several years housekeeper for the de-
PENDANT, alleges that ON the 9th of last Feb
ruary, in consequence of a dispute they had,
defendant knocked her down and kicked
her so severely that she was rendered very
i'll. This the defendant denies, declaring
that she commenced the attack, and to pre-
vent her from kicking him, as
she was doing he threw her down
and then got away as quickly as
possible, followed by butcher
knife which she threw at him Mrs. Arts
testified that she did not throw a knife,
wore slippers and could not have hurt him
by kicking ifshe did kick, and that as soon
as he ceased assaulting her she went into
her room and locked the door. The case
drew large number of interested listeners,
/ the attorneys and even the jurors from De-
partment One dropping in,when that Court
had recess, to hear the testimony. Posi-
bly, the fact that there was Il number of
good-looking ladies present as witnesses or
friends of witnesses lent an additional at
traction. The evidence was all in by > p.

this morning The following Jurors are

a large audience last evening. Reed ap-
pcared in his more familiar originality a

/ programme was very good throughout and
musically was especially so. Tonight the
same bill; tomorrow night complete
