tlEntinR negroes Almost Raise a
Panic in Atlanta's Opera House.
ATLANTA. Ga. Oct 1L-There came
near being panic at the opera house to-
night. While the audience was awaiting
the rolling up the curtain for the first act,
two negroes, Win Currier and Dick Allen,
got into fight behind the scenes and ons
knocked the other down with a weight. Tho
razor then came into play and Currier
slashed Allen in the thigh, inhicting q slight
wound At this juncture Mrs Schwartz,
wife OF the local manager, spied the pair,
and, mistaking them for her husband,
rusheT to his recuse. As bad luck would
have it the razor was just making a second
sweep, and the lady received in her leg the
cash intended for the negro Allen. Her
cries put an end 10 the frscas, but by this
time the alarm had spread and the excite
ment became general. Finally, however,
quiet was restored and the play went on.
Mira. Schwartz's wound, though ugly, is
not beloved TO be serious.
Both Mrs. Schwartz and the scene shifter
who were cut at the ouera houss o-uight are
much more seriously hurt than was at flrst
reported. Both received serious gashes in
the thigh, the negro to the bone. He has a
number of other cuts and may not recover.
