A TONGUE-LAsHING In COURT.
Maria Mabb Gets the Floor ina Justices Court
and Makes Fen Vigorous Remarks.

A lively incident occurred in Squire Shocks
pourt yesterday. the occasion being the trial of a
repleyin suit by Pearl Streeter of No. 22O West
Ohio street, against Maria Mabb. for $50, for the
alleged unlawful detention Of lot of clothing
she plaintiff had left at Mabb's residence, Of
which the plaintiff was at one time an inmate
Among other things brought out by the evidence
was that an individual, who was present
as witness, had followed the Streeter girl
from Shelbyville, where she once lived, and had
since subsisted on her earnings from life of
shame in this city. Mabb secured the floor and
gave the man such tongue flashing as was
never before heard in the court. She denounced
him as a 'shoe-string gambler" and as every
thing else that was small and mean. The fellow
wslted and hung his head under the severe Are
The case was taken under advisement.

Armenia It Is believed the Catholicus would
have made this translation but for the difficulty.
They fast only six days less than half the year.
Two years ago the Armenian bishop at Tabreez
made great feast during the middle Of Lent.
This was very disturbing to a great many of his
flock, bat he answered. I'VE bishops put on these
fasts, and we bishops can take them off. This
to show that even the bishops are breaking
down the old custom. Marriage according to an
old law, is prohibited within seven degrees of
relationship And they hold not only your
own, but your wife's relations TO be the same as
blood kim This is very troublesome law, and
they try to get around it. The bishop aids them
sometimes. A while ago an indulgence was sold
for ten dollars which certainly is not a high
of God. But the old law has lost hold upon
them. There is now no great opposition to fe-
male education. We must meet this desire for
education. They are beginning to know the
truth, and trying to live it in true Christianity,
as they have not seen it for centuries and CEN
turtles. We know it will 60 forward until those
scattered Armenian communities will leaven the

Evidence of Contributory Negligence.


The Supreme Court yesterday reversed the de-
cison Of the lower court in the suit of Sarah
Greene, Administrative, against the l., B. & w.
Railway Company. Mrs. Greenes husband was
the driver of hack between Charlottesville and
Alamo, and on the 18th of March, 1883, he, to-
gether with gentleman and a lady passenger,
were killed by train at crossing. No one
saw the accident, save the engineer, and no one
was left to tell the tale. The widow brought
suit to recover damages, getting verdict for
$500. The peculiar feature of the case was the
question of contributory negligence on the part
of the deceased, the burden being on the plant
iff to show that he was free from fault. This
she did satisfactorily to the court below, but the
higher courts think the proof is not sufficient
The court says: "There should have been some
evidence exhibiting the conduct of the deceased
in approaching the crossing" AS all the parties
in the accident persisted without a witness this
evidence will be difficult to produce and presum-
ably the reversal ends the case.

LIONS AT LARGE.
The Terrifying Break for Liberty Made by the
Beasts in Shows Winter Quarters.


The employees of John B. Doris's show, at the
Exposition grounds, were in a state of frantic
terror for an hour or two on Monday afternoon,
which. doubtless, would have been shared by
every person in the city had they been aware of
the threatened danger. While changing
the lions from one cage to another,
the keeper, in an unguarded moment
was knocked down, and the beasts all plunged
Though the door. The workmen employed
about the animal cages made frantic effort to
escape from the building when they discovered
their danger, and one jumped through the win
dow, CARRYING the sash with him, while another
climbed post, and hung suspended in mid air
from the braces of the upper floor. The lions
had the building to themselves for time, and
conducted themselves in manner truly terrify-
ing to the lion-fearing being. The keeper
finally succeeded in beating them into SUBJ
mission and getting them into their cages, but
in doing so he was given flesh wound of very
painful nature.

Frauline Lilli Lehman, the Celebrated Sing
er, Engaged for the Coming Festival.

The correspondence which has been in progress
the last two OF three weeks between Col. j. B.
Black, representing the festival committee, and
Frauline Lili Lehman, resulted yesterday in
her engagement as the prima donna of the COM
ing musical festival It is the opinion of Prof.
Barus and of many of the musical critics who
have heard Lilli Lehman during the few
months that she has been in this country, that
she has equal in the United States at the res
emit time as queen of song and it is a matter
OF congratulation that the festival committee

guished and popular prima donna for the open
ing festival of the new City Hail.

to fill the position of leading prma donna for
the opera season at the Metropolitan Opera
house, New York, and at once established her
self as a great popular favorite She is a lady
of great personal attractions with . face beam
ing with intelligence. and she comes of parent
age and training which may well establish her
as musical celebrity. Her father was cele-
brated tenor, and her mother, as Mary Loewe,
was q dramatic singer under Spohr and the in
timato friend of Wagner. The prima donna was
born in 1850, and is therefore thirty six years
of age She is the pupil Of Heinrich
Laube, has, the past ten years, occupied the dis
tinguished position of court singer at Berlin, and
has for years been the leading singer in operas
and oratorios at Stockholm, Vienna and Ores
den, filling also two engagements with Mapleson
at London, in Italian and German opera
Miss Lehman is regarded as the chicf attrac-
ton of the Cincinnati festival, which takes place
one week prior to the festival in this city She
will be assigned the solo parts in Mendelssohn's
Hear My Prayer and "Lorelei, and in the
stabat mater, in addition to which she will prob
ably also be heard in some of the same solos
which she sings in the Cincinnati festival. Miss
Lehman will be the prima donna at the Tues
day and Thursday evening concerts, and at
Wednesdays matinee.

RIOTING in IRELAND.
SERIOUS OUTBREAKS AT DUBLIN
AND LONDONDERRY.
Henry Ward Beeeher at LOndOn-Au.
other Eloquent Sermon by the
Plymouth Pastor.

DUBLIN, July 6.-The riot at the
Conservative workmen's clubhouse
here last evening was provoked by the
men in the club, and they committed
nearly all the breaches of order, A
Catholic procession passed the club
house, which was crowded with men
at the time. They attacked the pro.
cession with bottles. This attack was
answered with threstsand some stones.
The cub people then literally show
cred bottles at the procession, and also
fired a number OF shots into it from
revolveIs The police surrounded the
house, getting control Of the premises,
and finally arrested seventy of the in
mates. 1t has not yet been sscertained
how many of the processionists were
hurt, but three OF the injured Catho-
lies were in dying condition this
morning, and twenty Others were lying
helpless in hospitals, all suffering from
wounds inflicted by the bottles or
bullets. There is general feel
ing of indignation against the
Orapgemen OF the club ON account
of the attack. Joseph Hyland, one of
the injured men, WAS seen by an
Associated Press reporter in the hos
pital to-day, and asked Tor history Of
the riot as he saw it. Mr.. Hyland
said: 81 WIS walking quietly along
in the procession down York street,
when suddenly and without the
slightest provocstiop, lot of bottles
crashed down upon us from the cub
windows. This attack with bottles
was KEEP up continuously for long
time until the police formed a Gordon
around the clubhouse and got the
upper hand of the inmates. The club
men did not stop at bottles they shot
revolvers at us also. The people in
the street retaliated IS well as they
could with stones and other missiles
they could find, and in this way broke
in the clubs windows. A bottle struck
me in the ribs and then a bullet
pierced my thigh. I fell to the
ground. This was just as the police
stnrmed the building, l wss after
wards carried to the hospital"
RIOT AT LONDONDERRY.
A riot followed the fret announce
ment OF the result OF the contest be-
tween Mr.. Lewis and justin McCar-
thy, at Londonderry, today. The
cause Of the disturbance was the dis
covery, after the election had been de.
clared in favor OF Mr.. Lewis, of bal
lot box, the contents of which had
not been counted. A recount fol-
lowed, which almost made the cleo
ton tie, giving it to Mr.. Lewis by a
majority Of only three. The police
interfered and attacked the Loyalists,
who had assembled in front OF the
hotel where Mr.. Lewis was staying
and were making a demonstration in
celebration of his victory. A large
number of persons were injured.
There was much excitement in the
city over the affair.
