Jealous Actor Blows His Brains Out on
the Stage in Austria.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.
VIENNA. May 10, lS93-The theatre at
Lemberg, the capital of Austrian.Galicia
was the scene. last night, of a most tragic
occurrence, that caused CONSERVATION
and horror among those who witnessed
it. The theatre was comfortably filled,
and the play was proceeding satiSfac-
toriIy, when suddenly Herr De lczuk, one
of the actors, drew Il revolver, and IN full
sight of the spectators placed the weapon
to his head and blew out his brains.
The greatest confusion and excitement.
followed. Women in the body of the
house shrieked wildly and some of them
tainted. Men were made sick by the
sight, and numbers OF them FASTENED
from the theatre. In the meantime the
people on the stage and behind the
scenes were dumb with horror, aud it
was some little time before the curtain
was lowered.
1t was subsequently lie lrned that Herr
Delczuk's act was prompted by jealousy.
In the company was a Young actress OF
whom Delczuk was deeply e%nainored.
and it WAS generally supposed that his
love was recipr0cated by the actress.
During the progress of the play last night
Delczak detected his sweatheart flirting
with q man who occupied one OF the
stalls, and when the couple left the
stage at the end of the act DeleZuk mp
braided the girl for her perfidy. She
treated The matter lightly, and when she
vent On, resumed the fiirtatiou. Desper-
ately euraged at his sweetheart's con-
duct, Delcznk followed her, as his part
required. but Instead of speaking his
lines. he walked close TO the footlights,
and without a work, killed himself.

QUEER STORY OF A BOND.

Can Clerk Lewis Act in the Capacity He
is Elected to.
There was a decided sensation created
morning, when it became known that
Clerk Lewis had never filed his official
bond with Secretary of State Kelsey, and
that, therefore. ali summonses issued
were defective. When this fact was
made known to Judge Paxton,
he immediately adjourned Court, aud
will investigate the case. The matter
was made public by Lawyer Horace
Allen. The cnse of Prien VS.. Neunsinger
was called for trial. Prien had been em-
ployed by Neunstnger at his beer bottling
establishment on First street. One day
Prieu entered the place Intoxicated, and
Neunsinger, in putting HIM out, showed
him, causing him to fall, and he broke his
arm. For this he sued for 5000 damages.
LAWYER Allen asked for the dismissal
Of the complaint on the ground that the
summons was defectjve-in that it should
have been issued by the Court. and
signed by the clerk of the court. John
Lewis is clerk of the court, and the sum
mons on its face was ali right, but Allen
declared that Lewis was not the clerk of
the Court for the reason that he had
never qualified by filing the official bond.
In support of his assertion he read a
letter from Secretary OF State Kelsey,
| who said he bad never received q bond.
Judge Paxton was completely taken
aback. He leaned Over y asked Lewis
| If such was the fact. Lewis replied he
didn't know, he had sent his bond to ex-
| Judge Abel /. Smith to send to Trenton.
This evidently didn't satisfy Judge
Paxton, for he Immediately adjourned
court.
When seen by a reporter of THE JER-
sEY "a CITY NEWS this morning,
Judge Smith said he knew nothing what
knowledge, received it.
This is the same court that the Bad
Senator was Judge of, until he was
elected Senator.

Wholesale Executions.
NEW YORK, May 10, 1S93.-A despatch
from New Orleans says: The steamer
Breakwater arrived Monday night from
Puerto Cortez, Spanish Honduras, and
her officers confirm the previous rumor OF
the collapse of the revolution of Poly
carpo Bonilla.
1t was learned that the final battle,
which virtually settled the conflict, oc-
Cured last Thursday, May 4, at GQebra-
bottle. a small town some sixty miles
from Yora. The town and State of Yora
have all the while been the stronghold OF
the rebels, and most of the fighting being
confined to that state and the adjoining
one of Clancnio. Upon every defeat the
rebels would betake themselves to the
mountain Businesses of these districts for
security and reinforcements. In this en-
gagement at Gu~ebrabotize the govern
ment forces outnumbered the rebels, and
by stealing upon them unawares routed
them, not MY capturing all their sup
plies, but killing a number OF them and
Capturing the rest. Only a few remained
to convey the news to their companions at
Yora.
Immediately after the battle Bonilla
disappeared IN the interior mountains,
leaving the bulk of his few remaining
forces at Yora, in a comparatively unpro-
tected condition. The government forces
were on the march when last heard of, to
this point, and by this time the place has
no doubt been taken.
Vasquez, the acting Governor of Hon

OF the government troops to shoot forty

under penalty if. they were not shot Or
