The Amnteurs, ..pntIenee., =,

The society people gave very credit
able performance Of Patience on Satur-
day evening. Mrs. McCartee made charm
ing Patience, taking the part with an easy
grace to be expected only from one
who had performed it many times. Miss
Bette Ofdway, as Lddy Angeld, was tho
life of the stage. Her sweet singing and
her natural, easy manner insured her sue.
cess from the rising of the curtain. Tho
chorus Of maidens sang sweetly, but with
insufficient power They were ungraceful
in their movements. The male chorus did
not show to as much advantage in the
"Dragoons Song" as was expected. Mr..
Keen appeared embarrassed as the Colonel,
and did not do himself justice Mr.. HonTs s
voice is too weak for tho opera-house, con-
sequently he overstrained IL Mr.. Smith
acquitted himself with credit; Mr.. Hunt.
ington made fair GrOsrenor; Mr.. Schez-
elemenyi put too much bufiOonery into
Bunthorne; with that exception he carried
the part very well Lddy Jane was credit
ably taken by Mrs, Schozelemenyi. % the
rest individual mention is unnecessary.
Mrs. McCartee and Miss Ordway were
generously remembered by their friends in
the way of floral gifts. The performance
of the opera would be vastly improved on
its repetition.

THREE MuRpERous ASSAULTS,
Two Deaths Resulting ana ono More
Expected.

Last Saturday night was tho bloodest
tho city has seen in a long time. Three
murderous assaults occurred, two of which
have resulted in the death of tho assaulted
parties. In the Police Court this morning
a small.sized, young colored man named
Albert Betters was In the tolls for killing
his aged teb-father, Albert Botters, in the
county, near Giesboro Point The Young
man camo homo drunk Saturday night.
He had q heated discussion with his step-
father and was thrown out of the house.
lie returned and struck tho old man on
tho head with board, crushing his skull
from which death resulted this morning.
The prisoner was asked for his statement
of the affair this morning at tho Police
Court. He seemed much depressed, and
said he remembered nothing of the affair
In few minutes later he tainted in his
cell. He was committed without bail.
An alteration occurred between two coll
ored men, named Augustus Dyson and Pat
rick Bronson, at the corner of Twentieth
and II streets about 11l5 o'clock. The
trouble grew out of the alleged insult of
Bronson to a woman in company with the
other women. Bronson was stabbed in the
groin by Dyson, letting out his entrails.
Bronson died this morning at the Freed
mems Hospital. Dyson was not known by
Bronson, and 1t was thought he would not
be captured. A white hat that ho lost in
the struggle led to his capture by the po-
lice. Both men claimed to have been u.s.
saulted first. Judge Smell also committed
this defendant without bail.
Tho other case occurred in Majors alley
and was also about woman, Robert Lewis
and VIM. Ryan, both colored, about 11:3O
o'clock. A colorcd girl named Mary Brooks
slapped the face of a boy named Tobo viii.
son. Lizzie Chisley interfered and she and
Mary slapped each others faces. The two
men took sides in the case and Lewis got
the worst of ii. lie went into the house
and got an axe and struck Payne on the
head, mashing in his skull. Payne was
taken to tho Freedmen's Hospital. Judge
Smell also committed this prospective muir
derer.
The condition of Payne was much i'm
proved at late hour to-day and brighter
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
The inquest in the Dyson -Branson affair
occurs at the Second Precinct Station this
afternoon at o'clock. The inquest in the
Betters case takes place at the Eighth Pre-
cinct at ] p. m. tomorrow.

THE POWELL WILL CONTEST.
Argument OF Opposing Counsel Ne.
nnn.

The Admiral Powell will case came up in
the Circuit Court to-day to hear the argu-
ments Of counsel. Mr.. WIN. G. johnson
opened the case for the caveators. His
remarks were directed to show that undue
influence was used on Admiral Powell Ho
claimed that Mrs Stewart was incapable Of
rendering assistance to the Admiral in con
sequence Of her being employed In the In
terror Department, and also In consequence
OF her getting drunk.
Colonel Enoch Totten, for the cavoatees,
said there never was case in which mau
as old as the Admiral died In which just the
same sort Of a charge could not be set up as In
this case. The relatives who are dissatisfied
with the distribution Of the property of
the deceased can always set ups claim
that influence was used In eifecting the
will.
He thought it was unbecoming Of his
relatives to como before court and dis
close such little things of a private nature
as were stated here. He claimed that the
witnesses all admitted that the Admiral
exercised control over his household until
the time of his death.
