THE NEW OPERA SUCCESSFUL.
Cavalleria Rusticans Meets With a Goo
Reception ut Philadelphia.

CavalIeria Rusticana Meets With a Good
Reception at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.-[SpeciaL] The
vivid impression produced upon Italian
audiences by Mascagnis opera, entitled
"Cavalleria Rusticana," was explained by
its performance at the Grand Opera
House this evening. Although the
representation fell far short of per-
lection, it cast a strong light
upon the passion that pervades the brief
and simple drama, through which the COM
poser's name has become known the world
over. The chief merit of "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" is the warmth and sincerity
that pervade its measures. As for
the form of the opera as a whole
it inclines more to the old-time patterns
than to those of the new school, while the
purely modern spirit is apparent through
out in frequent and abrupt changes of
tempo, and in at least an occasional ten
dency to bend the music to the significance
of the drama.
without entering into detail, 1t may be
said that the most striking numbers of the
evening were Alfro's first song. sort of
postilion ditty, which, though common

the decidedly vulgar drinking song twice,

and Sdntuszd elected enthusiastic applause.

miration. With rich Italian voices and we'll
acting singers, "Cavalleria Rusticana" will
for a season be an excellent curtain raiser
at all events.

THREE-CORNERED DUEL.
ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS Is SHOT
THROUGH THE HEART.

A General Row Likely to Be Stirred Ur
Over the Affair-The Father of the Dead
Man Peculiarly Unf ortunate-Another
Son Shot.
CORSICA, TEX, Sept 9.-[Special j
Deputy Sheriff R. A. Cubbley, Jr., and
Policeman Rufus Highnote, who had a
difficulty some time ago, in which Cubbley
was shot in the shoulder, met again
here to-day. and Highnote's cousin,
Calvin n. White, got mixed
up in the difficulty White had
his right arm perforated twice. and was
shot through the hand by young Cubbley
before the latter turned and fired on High
note. Young Cubbley was killed in the
melee, and Highnote escaped unhurt.
Both White and Highnote had a
preliminary examination, and were held
in g, 600, bail White was guarded in his bed,
which he was unable to leave, and High
note in the court room, until they gave
bonds. Neither of them had any trouble in
securing bondsmen among the best citizens
of the town.
Ten witnesses were examined at the in
quest, and their testimony regarding the
affair is about as follows: Cubbley fired first
on White, and then turned and fired
Oh hlShnOUt .DciOro W Dluo SOL a
shot in on him. Cubbleys third
shot was the second that took effect
on Whites arm, and was his last shot, as
White sent his bullet into him about the
same time that he received his second
wound. The third shot fired by Cubbley
must have been his last. White only fired
twice, as his arm was rendered powerless by
Cubbley's second shot.
The shooting occurred in front of d.
Marks grocery. Marks was just in the act
of selling White a cigar when Cubbley shot
him. One witness swears from behind
Cubbley then fired at Highnote. Then White
and Hignnote opened fire on Cubbley. One
ball struck him in the lower jaw, and in the
side of the neck and third in the left side
through the heart.
The whole neighborhood around about
will be up in arms over the affair. Messen-
gers were sent as fast as horses could run to
parties who knew all those interested. In
side of an hour 'Redn White, a brother of
Cal White, and a cousin of Rufus Highnote,
was in town, with several of his friends,
ready to render any assistance his brother
or cousin should require.
Great sympathy is expressed for Captain
Cubbley, the young mans father and the
Sheriff. One of his other sons who tried to
get Robert home just buried his wife to-day
and the Captain received a telegram this
morning that another son, William, was shot
yesterday in Omaha. he doesn't know how
badly. Young Cubbley was q member of the
Order of Chosen Friends. He will be buried
here tomorrow.

DESERTED HER AT PITTsBURG.
A Girl, Whose Lover Runs Away With An
other Woman Loses Her Mind

other Woman, Loses Her Mind.
DETROIT, Sept. 9.-Louisa Haas, a young
girl at the insane asylum in this county, was
crazed by lovers perfidy. Her home is in
Stuttgart, Germany where her parents re-
side in comfort. few months ago the lover
induced her to come to America with him
and with another young woman. At Pitts
burg he sent her on to Detroit alone, telling
her he would join her as soon as he closed
up certain business transa ctions. She trusted
him implicitly and gave up nearly all the
money she had.
In this city the poor girl waited and
waited until finally she learned that her
lover had left Pittsburg with the other
woman. Then she became hopelessly in
sane, although she is never violent. The
Superintendent of Poor has communicated
with her parents, who promise to send
money for her return to Germany, provided
Louisa will herself write letter saying she
wants to return. The old people evidently
suspect trick. Superintendent Kolb thus
far has been unable to get her to write.

Telephoning on Telegraph Wires,

An interesting adaptation of the telephone
to existing telegraph lines has been success
fully made in Scotland. The telephones
used are the French type, with microphones.
The line used has two intermediate stations,
but this in no way impaired the speaking;
indeed it is proposed to add another two in
termediate stations, making six telephones
served by single wire. Though the tele-
graph instruments were employed simultan-
eously there was no interruption, and it is
intended that the telegraph instruments
shall be discarded. Another feature of the
adaptation is that as the wire runs along
the canal, the barger can fix portable tele-
phone on it at any place and speak to the
termini
