their moneys worth, The music was bright
and stirring; the singing was very accepta-
bic, and the dancing and general nlaneu-
vers of the chorus was excellent. Their
graceful and artistic movements blended
tremendously with their exquisite costumes.

cesses; his quaint mirth provoked laughter
as it always does.

"Janett," and her singing ard dancing was
very creditable. The TiopSe family, in their
grotesque evolutions, the Lorellas, in their
athletic sports. and the BoosbObies, in their
marvellous acrobatic feats, we're features
deserving of special mention. as they were
interesting and wonderful in their accom-
plishments.

ouSly with the entire corps de ballet as an
animated background.
The Devils Auction will be presented

Mr.. PALMS NARROW ESCAPE
Beaten Into Inser slbility aud Robbed

en- the Louisville Road.
Mr.. George Palm, connected with Mr..
Curtis surveying corps, was assaulted by
two colored men and robbed yesterday
about O'Clock p. m, while fishing in the
lake mile out on the Louisville road.
Mr.. Palm is about II years old, and is
large and strong for his age. Instead OF
going 10 dinner at noon when the surveyors
Quit work, Mr.. Palm concluded to spend
the hour in fishing. 1t was about p. N.
when two colored men approached him, one
a large mulstto of perhaps % years OF age,
and the other a small black fellow OF per-
haps Il or is years of age. The large man
said TO Mr.. Palm, do you know how soon
a freight train gill passr'
Mr.. Palm said he didn't
"What do you known said the man, and
before Mr.. Palm could answer the big man
caught him so that he could not successfully
resist and told the little man to knock him
il the head With the club which the little
man had in his hand. And the little man
followed Instructions literally. He beat
Mr.. Palm into insensibility, the first blow
striking him on the neck and the others on
the top of the head
When Mr.. Palm became conscious the
two mon were nowhere in sight, and they
had taken 81 which be had in his pocket
He was so weak from loss of blood that he
could scarcely stand, and he had fearful
scalp wound. However, be managed 10 get
over 10 the railroad, aud some men in a
blacksmith shop at that point got carriage
and took him TO his home.
D. Nichols cut the hair from the injured
part Of the head and dressed the wound
The wonder Is that his skull was
not broken, as the club used was quite a
heavy one. Mr.. Palm does not know the
names Of his assailants, but il sure be would
be able TO recognize them if he were 20 see
them.
The robbery was bold one and the rob-
bers were evidently desperate characters,
out of money and ready to get IL any way
they could. Mr.. Palm had narrow escape,
for had be been able to make any resistance
| it is pretty clear they would not have hesi-
| tated TO take his life.
