The little town of Lancaster was the
scene yesterday of sad farewell Ia
earth and its concerns on the the part OF
n beautiful damsel, whose broken heart
refused to pulsate after its tenderest
hopes had been crushed. Miss Bellows,
y young girl, became engaged to q
young man named Deal, and the day
Tor their nuptials had been fixed. Her
uouseau was prepared and Just when
her iundest hopes were TO 10 realized
her faithlesS lover broke OH the en-
gagoment. The grief stricken maiden
hastoned to Lancaster obtained poison,
and, after quailing the fatal draught,
repaired to the nearest pool INTO which
she plunged. Not succeeding i'm her
design of immediate SELF destruction,
she returned 10 her home frenzied
with grief and paid the penalty of her
rash devotion in the expiation of death.
The sad event has cast tho pail of gloom
over the whole community.

A THEsPIAN TRIUMPH.

Mlln's Glorious Representation of Rich
ellen.
One of the largest, most intellectual
and thoroughly pleased audiences ever
assembled in FL Paso filed the opera
house to overlooking last night, the at
traction being the presentation of tho
famous play of Richolieu by that emf
nent and successful young actor, Mr..
George q. Min, late one of Chicagos
most eminent divines The people
OF this city never before had such
dramatic treat. and it is questionable
if-barring Hamlet to-night-they will
have the same good fortune for many q
year to come. Mr.. Min was supported
by a company of IneXceptionable merit.
Worthy OF special merit was Miss Adele
Payne, the beautiful and talented young
actress, who so faithfully portrayed
the role of Julie de Nor
timer. AS to Mr.. Minis superb
acting, space will not permit
sufficient words of praise. One of the
marked characteristics of the Shakes
pearian interpretations of George c.
Min Is their evident scholarship and
intellectually. 1t is apparent to the
most casual that every phase in the
plays presented has been the subject
of profound consideration, and that all
the details OF acting and COSTUMES have
been carefully considered. Mr.. Min
Is admirably fitted to lead Shakes
perian revival in this country. His
education has been liberal and com
plete, and his enthusiasm for the Shakes
perian drama Is second to that of no &C.
tor on the American stage, It is not
matter ofsurprise that his performances
have been accorded u first rank by fore
most lovers Of the histrionic art. The
gentleman's glorious presentation of
Bulwer's grandest character will long
be remembered by those OF our citizens
who were fortunate enough to he at the
