A LIVELY RACKET.
An Unprovoked Assault on Lady Which
Is Promptly Resented.


There was a scene OF wild excitement
in and about the alley in the rear of the
Opera House, about half-past o'clock
last evening, the chief component parts
Of the same being very bloody man, a
female companion in tears, two justly in
dignant male members Of the Bennett
Moulton company, two greatly agitated
female ditto, three or four policemen.
and crowd Of about hundred people.
each with wild desire to know what
was going on, and among whom about
two dozen versions Of the trouble were
current. As nearly as could be ascer-
tained last evening the facts are these:
About half-past seven, or a little be-
fore, Messrs. V. A. Holland and Rich
ard Jones, OF the Bennett-Moulton Com
pany, escorting two OF the ladies of the
same organization, left Wator street
hotel, and turning into Fourteenth street
approached the theatre. On the way
up the street couple, consisting OF a
man and woman, were noticed. and the
man seems to have made some effort to
attract the attention OF the opera peo-
pie. At the entrance TO alley B this
couple, consisting of Edward johnson
and Clara Pedicord. stopped and slight
ly separated. AS Messrs. Holland and
Jenes, with the two ladies, entered the
alley, Johnson applied most insulting
epithet to one Of the ladies, and at the
same time attempted To seize
her. Being anxious to avoid scene.
as little notice as possible was taken OF
this, but Johnson persisted, and again
made use Of an opprobriouS cpithet.
He was then struck over the head and
face by one OF the actors, who had Il
light cane, and the Pcdicord woman
running up, she also received n blow
not intended for her. A general melee
then ensucd, during which Johnson was
pretty severely punished about the face
by one of the members OF the company,
while quite large crowd collected.
Officers Moran, Lukens and Frohme
were soon on the spot, and johnson
and the two actors were placed under
arrest. The latter at once gave bail
for their appearance this morning. but
johnson was crazy mad, and used the
most obscene language TO the police,
and particularly toward Officer
Lukens. The latter attempted 20
treat Johnson like gentleman,
but Johnson wouldn't have II
that way, and as cons aquence was
roughly handled. He fought more or
less all the way to the City Hall, and
there swore he wouldn't be locked up,
He was hustled into cell, however
where he further abused the police.
The Pedicord woman followed the
police to the City Hall, where she tear
fully made complaint that she hat
been struck, and exhibited a dicer ha
belonging to some on, which article /
appeared she had possessed herself o
during the height of the excitement.
The case will come up this morning
when the matter will be Strengthened
out by His Honor.

New YORK, November ls.-The ~
sociated Press learns through T. J..
O'Connor. NJ. p, and I. i. Gil, VI. T.,
that the Irish envoys are firmly resolved
to stand by the leadership OF Parnell.
They think this course dictated not
merely by gratitude for Parnclls I'M
pcrishable services In the past
but by the conviction that
his leadership Is absolutely
essential TO the success OF their move
ment. Owing to the scattering Of the
delegates at meetings ia different parts
of the country, 1t has not been possible
to have a cablegram sent 10 ireland To-
night, but its terms are practically
agreed upon and joint message which
is uncompromising In support OF Par
nell's leadership is being signed by all
the delegates and will be sent early to-
morrow.

LAGERFELDT'S FLIGHT.
The Baroness Quietly Returns to Her
Father mt Steubenville.

fatner ut sttuDchNiics
PlTTsBURG. November 1s.-The re-
cent departure of Baron Lagerfeldt, OF
the Swedish Consulate in Pittsburg, has
been revived. The noble family OF
Lagerfedt is no longer represented in
Pittsburg. When the Baron got tangled
ND in the meshes Of the financial net he
had carefully woven, and hied himself
to distant climates, he left the Baroness
disconsolate and alone in handsomely
furnished house on Highland avenue,
East End. This house was seized by
creditors of the Baron.
Little was left for the sad Baroness
to do but withdraw gracefully from the
select social circle in which she and her
husband had figured prominently. rhis
she did. taking with her the sympathy
of all who knew her.
When asked regarding the where
abouts of the Baron the sorrowing
Baroness would reply that she knew
nothing as to his business transactions,
nor did she know where he had gone.
In all her conversation with her neigh
bors she refrained from saying harsh
word against the man who had deserted
her so cruelty.
For a week or two after the Baron's
fight the wife spent most Of her time in
weeping and lamenting her misfortune.
Then she dried her eyes, began prepa-
tions for her departure and quietly re-
turned to the home of her father, Mr..
Chas. B. Doty, in Steubenville, Ohio.
Rumor has it that she intends apply
ing for divorce from the Baron, but
OH this question she has maintained an
unbr0ken silence.

Ny DEAR SIR:-Though know that

tionS, cannot resist the temptation 10
express TO you my delight upon your
election as Governor Of Pennsylvania.
have felt the most intense interest In
the contest in your State, and have
had great sympathy with the good
people there. confronted as they were
with everything that was bad, and this
indorSed and supported by the party
claiming an immense majority of the
voters. Ii seemed 10 me the condition
was almost pitiable. and that the strug-
gle between right and wrong, at such
odds, ought not TO have been forced
upon your grand old commonwealth.
But when il came, precipitated by the
arrogance of those accustomed 10 de-
ceive and betray people with impunity,
/ almost held my breath, and as an
American citizen proud OF his country,
prayed God for the peoples safe deliver
ance, and for a demonstration that they
had not lost their love for honesty and
right The demonstration came; and
am now glad that the issue between
right and wrong was made so clearly,
and that the wrong so impudently dis
PLAYED. that the banner under which its
forces were gathered, went down.
want to thank you as citizen and
as one of the people for the gallant fight
YOU have made, and for all that you
have done in this trying hour to save
the American character. And am so
glad that this thing was done under
Democratic auspices, though | think
every man who voted for you deserves
the gratitude Of his fellow-countrymen.
Yours very sincerely,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

In which, referring TO the re-

chosen leader OF the party, and that the
party would stand by him while he

people would be more than ever de-
voted to him.
Mr.. John Redmond. member OF the

ridiculcd the idea OF Mr.. Parnell being
prejudiced In politics by the verdict In
the O'Shea case. His colleagues, be

loyalty. Never in the career OF the

party more determined 10 stand 10y Mr..

greeted with cheers.
Mr.. Joseph Kenny, member OF the

DUBLIN, November ls.-The Free.

outcome OF the O'Shea divorce case and

future, recalls the private lives OF the
Duke OF Wellington, Lord Nelson, Lord
Palmertson, and number OF other
prominent personages, who, IL says, in
their time were subject to scandals such
as that in which Mr.. Parnell is now IN
volved. The Journal says that the
gable about the social oStraciSm 10
which Mr.. Parnell will be subjected is
absurd, because he never went into
society. The parlors charged
with his moral well being are
not the parlors OF the majority OF the
Irish people. IL Is neither our duty nor
