SAN ANTONIO. TEXAS MONDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1880
OPERA HOUSE.

Prescott Mclean Fare and Wei
come to Grau's Opera Company.
For the past three days and four
performances Grand Opera house
has been successfully handling very
heavy business, and the house has
been filled both for every performance
of the McLean-Prescott appearance
and for the advent of the Grau Comic
Opera company. At matinee Satur-
day afternoon the house was crowded
and the actors gave very fine presen-
tation of "Ingomar." At night an
other large audience was present"The
Winters Tale" a beautiful Shakes
perean play, being given. AS "Her-
mOine,n the queenly sufferer, and
"Perdita," the shepherd maiden,
"queen of curds and cream" Miss
Prescott was very fine, and appeared
to great advantage. Mr.. Mclean, as
"Leontes" also carried the part
through with great strength, and as
the pilfering rogue, "Autolycus," Mr..
Collin Kemper greatly amused the
audience.
Yesterday afternoon the Grau opera
company arrived, after a fine days
ride from Houston, and Grand Opera
house was packed in the evening to
welcome them. Often bacb's comic
opera, "The Brigands," was the bill
and the company sang Its sparkling
lines very effectually. Some of the
solos are beautiful and quite catchy,
and the opera has the dash to make
it popular, while the dialogue is by
no means monotonous. Miss Mary
Greenwood as "Fiorellan has q fine
voice carefully trained, and received
great applause. Miss Alice Vincent as
"Frageoletto, "the young farmer in love
with Fiorella, sang with spirit and
Caught" the house. The Kiss duet
between her and Miss Greenwood
was gem. Mr.. Guiberson, as "Falsa-
cappa" was good in makeup and
voice. His tenor is quite flexible
and well cultivated, and Mr.. Gurville
as Duke of Mantua also showed
fine tenor. Mr.. Harry Brown as
'Pietri" rendered his comedy part,
very nicely, and pleased the audience
very much, his topical song being
encored repeatedly. The fun is fresh
and was full of local hits. Miss EN-
ma II. Steiner is musical director of
the company, and Mr.. Otto Hilgers,
of the Grand opera house orchestra,
said last night that she was the best
qualified director he had ever known.
1t is a very important as we'll as
arduous position, especially for lady.
Tonight "Amorita" will be given
and for tomorrow matinee. Tomorrow
night "Brigands."

Yesterday was a great day in Zion
with this church. DIR. A. P. Graves,
Evangelist, preached at II o'clock
and at 3, and 7:30. The afternoon
meeting for men only nearly filled
the church. Many men asked pray
ers for Gods blessing on their sons.
At the morning service there was an
extraordinary spirir of religious pow
er. At o'clock the evangelist by in
vitation, preached sermon on chris
tian conservation, in the Y. M. c. A,
hall. The hall was crowded, At the
close of the address about one hun
dred men bowed upon their knees to
consecrate themselves unreservedly
to Christ. At the night service the
Alamo church was crowded and the
people filled the street all about the
doors and windows. At the close of
the service it was found that during
the day ten persons had openly pro-
fessed faith in Christ and more than
fifty penitents had asked prayers and
were seeking the peace OF God. To-
night DIR. Graves will give bible
reading on "hell, where is 1t and what
is it?" at the Alamo Baptist church,
corner Crockett and Nacogdoches

Another State ment -.

Mr. II. II. Childers makes the fol-
lowing statement about the shooting
which is taken from the morning
paper:
"While regret that it should be
neces sary for me to make a statement
of this kind, believe that it is my
duty to do 80 in justice to the ladies
in whose company my friend and 1
were in on the evening of the trouble,
as we'll as to myself. was a guest
at the house of the lady on whom
called, and had been invited there by
the husband of the lady. 1 could
not think of violating the hospitality
that 1 enjoyed, and no more cruel
and unfounded Islander was ever
concocted than that conveyed i'm the
testimony of the hack driver Jesse
Rudder. With Mr.. Cochran | called
there on the evening in question and
escorted the ladies to the residence
of Major Peek, on San Pedro avenue,
where we passed some time in social
intercourse. At no time during the
evening was there any thing said or
any place visited that could in any
way compromise any lady. An un-
fortunate disagreement some trif-
ling matter caused us to become sep
arated. This was most indiscreet
thing to do, and as soon as l realized
that the party had been separated 1
realized the full indiscretion of such a
proceeding, and at once ordered the
driver 10 take us to the several places
that L thought it was possible that
my friend might be. When I failed
to find them. 1 ordered the driver to
take US to the home of the lady.
never dreamed that there could be
any evil consequences resulting from
the drive, or 1t certainly would never
have been taken. If the unfortu-
nate tragedy had not taken
place, and the warped statements
of the hack-driver been siezed upon
and colored by the brush of scandal,
nothing would have ever been printed
or said concerning these defense
less ladies. When I have secured my
liberty, either on bond or on the final
trial, I will defend this statement as
well as the good name of the ladies. 1
say that the statement that had been
drinking heavily TOR a week previous
to the homicide is false. My friends
will be surprised to learn that I was in
the act of chastising a cripple, but the
evidence will show that there was no
such intention on my part, the punish
ment, in words, had already been given
1 had already started away with my
friend when L was assaulted by the
deceased was the most opprobious of
epithets and was threatened with per-
sOnal violence, and protected myself
as any other man would have done
under similar circumstances. The
only thing that / regret about the
whole affair is that I unconsciously
exposed the names of two estimable
ladies to the evil tongues of vile SLAM
derers. To the many friends who
have personally and by letter and tel
egraph offered me their sympathy
and aid wish to convey my heartfelt
thanks.

Turned Over.

Today our Postoffice is running I'M
der republican auspices, Mr.. Sam. M.
Johnson having taken full charge.
Mr.. Russell Norton is first assistant,
Mr.. Reynolds is Money Order clerk,
with Miss Mollie Ogden as assis-
tant. Miss Flora Washington is
box clerk, Miss Nolan remains
in charge of the stamp window
and Mr.. billiard, the old registry
clerk. is still in charge of that de-
partment. Dave Saunders is superin-
tendent of carriers; some other minor
changes have been made. The turn
over was made with very little incon-
venience to the public. DIR. Howard,
the retiring postmaster, is a courte-
Gus gentleman, and while his admin
istration has not been entirely salts
factory he leaves the Office clean
handed. Mr.. Walters the retir-
ing assistant, is known to be one of
the best postmasters in the service,
and Notwithstanding his sterling re-
publicsnism was retained by DIR.
Howard when he took charge.
Mr.. Johnson, the new postmaster, is
known to be a man of ability and con-
siderable Office experience; as a re-
publican much is expected of him; the
public will demand of him a perfect
administration; much allowance is
made for democrat but none for a
republican. The republicans of our
city expect that not only shall his adj
minisTratiOn reflect credit upon the
party, but that, out of so large and
Intelligent a community as this, he
will put none but republicans on
guard. We wish Mr.. Johnson a sue
cessful career, and shall be the last
to make unnecessary complaint.

will be the starting point of a

destined to overthrow class legisla-

lies and alien land ownership. The
sessions of the convention will be
secret, but no doubt part of its pro-
ceedings will be given to the press.
