THR COURT RE0oRc.
Supreme Court of BrrOrs-December
 Term.

Supreme Court of BrFOPg-December Term. The Supreme Court of Errors, December term ,came in yesterday morning with Judges Carpenter, Pardee, Loomis and Beardsley on the bench. The first case argued was Chris tian Werweiss vs. the New Haven and Derby Railroad company. The plaintiff sued the company for $500 damages in the Court of Common Pleas, claiming he was injured by being hit by train on Derby road in 1883 while crossing Bridge street, in Ansonia, with his team. The court decided in favor of the defendant, and the plaintiff through his attorneys, Munger & Holden, took an ap- peal. Williams & Gager argued for the de- fense. The Derby company offered to settle for judgment of $1O0 when the case came up, but the plaintiff refused. The case of William A. BeckIey, trustee, vs William Lef6ngwell ct al, was argued. The suit is brought to get legal construc- tion on the will of the late William Leffng we'll. Attorney O. A. White appears for the trustee and Messrs. Bristol, Stoddard, Bris- tol, Baldwin, Pardee and Mathewson fer the defense
 The case of D. Appleton & Co. vs. George w. Wilbur, a Waterbury case, by the agree ment of the counsel, was put over to the next term of the court.
 The counsel in the case of the Butte Hard ware Go. vs Wallace & King, agreed to argue it in Hartford.
 In the case of Augustus s. Chase vs. the National Shoe and Leather bank the counsel mutually agreed to argue it in Hartford.
 Prosecuting Attorney Gum announced that owing to a delay in the printing the case of the State vs. Frank Keernan, the hack driver, which involves 8 question of city ordinances eonstitutionality, the case might not come up at this term.
 The courts session here will probably be short, owing to the lack of cases to come be- fore it.

THE NATIONAL OPERA.
Prod duction Last Evening OF Richard Wag-
ner's LOhengrin.

For the first time In Richmond Lohcn.
grin was given last night al the Academy
OF Music by an eminently strong cast.
When Richard Wagner came into the
world Of music he brought with him a
genius that has truly revolutionized the
operate models OF the earlier German
Italian schools He dispensed with the
fiowery arias, Duets, etc, and their thin
orchestral Accomplishments, and put bold,
robusto recitatives into the mouths OF
his heroes and heroines, dispensing
through his orchestra initiative phrssing,
so initiative that, with a libretto in our
hands, and no scenes or singers, We can
fairly trace the development of his
operas.
To such remarkable creations our
opera lovers az q rule, have been un-
accustomed, and last nights rendition OF
Lohengrin. one Of Wagner's most melo-
dIous lyric dramas, marked an era in
Richmond's musical progress.
To say that the performance was satis-
factory, and that the audience was salts.
fed, but mildly expresses the thorough
sympathy OF the hearers with the artists
last evening.
Mr.. SYLVIA In the title role revealed to
the audience tenor rObusto Of wonder
fIl timbre and carrying powers, and
seemed born to the part of the mythical
knight.
Miss Bertha Plcrson threw much dra-
matte strength into the part Of Elsa, and
went through her trying recitations with
artistic fervor.
Miss Clara Poole as Ortrud and Mr
Ludwig rs Frederick were perfect, end
Messrs. Vetta and Merton sang their re-
spective rolls with all correctness and
skill.
With the grand spectacular production
this evening of Goldmarks Queen Of
Sheba, the engagement Of the Nationals
closes.
Goldmark was fifteen years composing
this lyric. descriptive of the splendors of
Solomon's reign, and it abounds with rich
music, and as we have heard and
seen what Mr. Locke's Company
can do with the grand operas,
It is safe to predict that large
audience will be present at a per-
formance which will be just as interest
ing and perfect as those of the past two
nights.

THE MEDICAL BILL.
Expected to be Defeated in the Senate.
Editorof Me Times


Expected to be Defeated in the Senate.
Editorof the Times
The narrow escape OF the Medical bill
from total defeat In :he House has made
II evident that IL has no hope Of passage
In the Senate, where already many
amendments and one or two new bills
arc awaiting to give II It's coup de grace.
The House bill represents only Ia part
what the Medical Society Of Virginia
instructed the committee to ask OF the
Legislature, but which II for some yet un.
explained reason has chosen TO ignore.
The society passed a resolution that the
following three amendments should be
made to the present medical bill:
|. Abolition OF the district board.
2. The requirement of a diploma from
some reputable college as q condition
precedent to an application.
3. That the unwieldy board OF thirty.
two should be reduced to twelve.
The House bill Is urged by It's friends
as icing the embodiment Of the con.
densed wishes and wisdom OF the physi.
clans of the State (somc ten thousand in
number) vicariously expressed through
the Medical Society of Virginia average
attendance about ninety. Now. II the
wishes Of the State society are to be con.
sidered as influential In passing the first
amendment. why Is II not regarded with
as much reverence In relation to the
other two. The committee who were
deputed 10 bring this matter before the
Legislature had no option TO suppress
one OF the amendments or to advance
only that which it preferred In the
society all three of the amendments had
the same Importance attached to them.
and 1t was expected that they would be
urged with equal loyalty 10 its wishes by
the committee. So II there are any mem
bers OF the Senate who suppose that they
are deferring TO the wishes and desires
OF the Medical State Society In voting for
the House bill with It's emascuation OF
the two most important requests. they
are making most egregious mistake, for
they will find themselves entrapped into
sustaining bill which could not to-day
pass the State Society.
The Read bill introduced in the Senate
day or two ago has more OF the ele.
ments OF good common sense than any
that has been offered and II the Legis.
lsture will pass II, It will settle the mud
died and beiogQed matter at once, and
relieve the members Of the pestering and
buttonholeing that has worried them the
entire session, and will keep them from
dispairingly exclaiming. when they see
the doctors approaching them, "A plague
on both your houses"
