BERNHARDT's FIGHT IN RIO.
Further Details of 1t and the Failure
of the Police.

Further Details of 1t and the Failure
of the Police.
From the Rio Janeiro Neaos.
The Bernhard oirmont scandal has
developed into genuine comedy, in
which none OF the leading characters
not excepting the police-bave won much
credit. The divine Sarah first interfered
TO prevent Noirmont from taking a trunk
away from the theatre, calling her thief,
as the latter claims. Noirmont resented
the charge with blow, when a fisticuff
encounter took place, in which various
members of the company took part. The
same night. during the play, and between
the third and fourth acts, Sarah drew
q whip from her dress and gave
Noirmont several blows across the face
and shoulders, her leading man assisting.
Noirmont complained to the police off,
cial present, but he dismissed the matter
on the grounds that Sarah was not caught
In the act (fagrante). The following day,
July "a, Noirmont went to the police
headquarters with her complaint, where
a process was procured for the great star.
In the afternoon Of the same day, as the
son and secretary Of the latter were pass
ing the Polytechnic, they met the offend
ing subordinate in the street and at once
minds also. Noirmont resented their in
suits and tried to break their skulls with
her parasol, but succeeded only in having
it taken away from her and thrown over
the fence. The Gazeta de Noticias
of July % very properly stigmatized
the conduct OF these youngsters, and
with the result OF calling out
joint card from them, which was pub
lished in the Paiz of the Goth, formally
stating that the accusation was a lie and
that they were Sat home' from 1 to 2 p.
m. Whether the good natured chief OF
the Gazeta accepted the invitation or not
we do not know, but we think it probable
that he sent the children a couple OF rat
tie boxes instead. The police investiga-
ton has thus far been broad farce.
Sarah failed to appear on the 26th, as
ordered, when the investigation was
postponed to the 2Sth, when 1t was pub
licly known that she was to leave for Sac
Paulo on the 9th. The appearances are
that the majesty of the law is somewhat
dazzled and oyerawed by the superior
points of the queen of the tragic stage,
and is therefore unable to assert its au-
thority.

TOLD IN KENTUCKY,
How Phil Thompson Secured the
Acquittai of His Client.
From the Louisville (Ky.) Times

From the Louisville (Ky.) Times.
A few years after the war Ed Collins, q
shiitless follow of Mercer county, was IN
dicted for stealing cattle. The case came
up before Judge J. c. Wickliffe, now
United States Attorney here, then Circuit
Judge. The trial was in the court house
at Harrodsburg. Phil Thompson, Jr.,
was prosecuting attorney, and Phil
Thompson, Sr., and Col. Thorn as c.
Bell, now Assistant United States
Attorney here, appeared for the de-
Tense. Collins had been a soldier in
the Federal army, while every man on
the jury, the prosecuting attorney, Cir
cult Court, and the Judge himself had
fought for the COniederacy. The wit
nesses were brought forward and plain
case of theft was made out against Col
Inns. The only dependence of the defOnse
was the testimony OF Collins daughter
Rose, who was to prove an alibi. She was
a beautiful woman, and was made to tell
her story for all it was worth.
Col. Bell made most touch.
Ing plea, appealing to the sym
pathies of the jury for a beautiful wo-
man in distress with all the power of Ian
guage he could summon. But the veter-
ans of Donelson and Shiloh were I'M
moved.
Then old Phil Thompson laid himslf out
to mystify them and raise doubt of the
prisoners guilt, and he, too, finally began
to appeal 20 their gallantry. In the midst
OF glowing sentence, however, he found
the jury yawning, looking out of the
window, and wholly inattentive. Break
Ing of his pathos the old lawyer leaned
back on table moment, eyed the jury
quzically with humorous twinkle in
his eye, and said:
"Look here, gentlemen, this stealing
was done during the war, and you can't
do anything with man for that. You,
Tom Mundy - he continued. turning and
pointing to the foreman of the jury, a
strapping big Kentuckiau, don't you re-
member that sheep you stole In PowPs
Valley2 You can't convict Ed. Collins.O
There was a general waking up of the
Jury, and a smile went round. "And you,
Dan Bond, you know that horse you stole
from Lord Alexander in the spring of '62?
You can't send a man TO prison for steal
ing cattle"
The smile broke into an open guffaw In
one or two places, and half a dozen men
on the back seats stood up.
AS the old man took up the jury one by
one and recalled his shortcomings, the
laughter became general and continuous.
Finally he said: "And there's my Phil.
Wasn't he one Of Morgan's worst horse
thievesS What can he say against Ed.
Collins? Aud you, Ed. Butts; you re-
member that raid on that old Yankee
sympatbizer in East Tennessee? And can
you raise your voice against him? And
His Honor on the bench, II the truth
were known" but the rest OF the SEN
tence was drowned in shout of laughter
and uproar OF applause that shook the
building. The jury was out three minutes
and they brought in verdict for &C
Quittal.

FEARS FOR KEELY's HEALTH.
The Motor Mans Condition De-
mands a Respite from Work,

From the PhtLa3elDbta Record
"This is the first respite from his labors
in seven years that John W. Kelly has
taken," said an intimate friend of the IA
nous motor man yesterday in discussing
the inventors present vacation. Then
the gentleman added, significantly: SIT
has come none too soon. Keely has worked
himself down to mere shadow. He has
lost twenty-three pounds of flesh in two
months, and unless he secures the proper
rest 1t is doubtful il the motor will ever
proceed much further toward perfection
than 1t is to-day. He looks pale and bag
gard. mean this, that the man is in such
a condition as to create some alarm among
his immediate friends and the officers of
the company. The latter, as well as Mr..
Keely. have awakened to the fact that il
the physical strength begins to fail 1t will
not be long before the mans mental fac
ulties will begin to weaken. Should the
latter occur, then the years of labor will
have been wasted. Mr.. Keely takes very
little relaxation. He has been at work
night and day for month past endeavor-
ing to perfect his motor. The strain has
been too much for him, and five minutes
conversation with the man demonstrates
this fact. While at Cape May last week
Mr.. keely told me he was sure that he
was nearing the end of his labors. He
said that he had the power and knew all
about that, but he had not succeeded as
yet in being able to fully control it. He
will devote himself to this portion of the
work upon his return. Mr.. Keely said
himself that he felt the need of rest now
more than ever. He is in the Catskill
Mountains with some New York friends.
and will not return to the city for month,
and not then unless he feels fully restored
to health"

BrickIayers to Work for Themselves.

CINCINNATI, Aug. Ga large number
of bricklayers are locked out in this city.
They demanded Of the contractors that
none but union bod carriers be employed
and the contractors rather than grant this
request locked the bricklayers out. The
bricklayers nave now adopted novel
course. They intend to apply 10 all per-
sons now having buildings erected for
permission to fnlsh the work themselves,
thus cutting out the contractors altogeth-
err. The men are so enthusiastic over this
scheme that even if the contractors come
TO terms at once they will endeavor to &C.
cure building contracts for themselves in
the future. The movement attracts con-
siderable attention and some uneasiness
among builders.

pratic State ticket is elected by $4,000,
Democratic gain of about $4,000 over
two years ago. The majority may reach
