AMUSEMENT

"NIoBE" TONIGHT AT THE OPERA HOUSE
THE stone which the builders reject
ed has become the chief stone OF the
corner" Verify, "Niobe," which the
American and English managers reject
ed, when it was offered TO them by the
Paultons, would seem to have proven
the most popular and successful comedy
of the period. And when the manu-
script was rejected by such eminent
builders as A. M. Palmer and I. Henry
French, less persistent authors than the
Paultons would have given up the
search for a manager and so never
would have found Abbott e. TIllotson,
who have proven that they know a
good thing when they see it. "Niobe"
will appear at the Opera House tonight
aud Friday and Friday matinee.
"LADY LII"
LADY Lii" to be presented at the
Opera House Friday evening by Lillian
Lewis and her company, is a strong
play.
The action of the play takes place at
Prague during the Austro-Prussian war
OF 1866. Lady COLOMBIA Lii, premier
circus rider, has been the victim Of a
marriage with Hassan, bigamist, and
is seeking the recovery OF her child, alb
Quoted by Hassan and placed in the care
OF taith-curer named Buryan.
In the past Hassan has betrayed the
faith-curer's wife, ana ne in revenge
gives the child to be devoured by IL
ger. SEVERN de Rohan, colonel In the
Austrian army, is in love with Lady LII.
She tells him II he would wed her he
must Kill the man who wronged her.
In the second act, while receiving a
telegraphic message soldier Is shot by
man in ambush. The assassin is
caught bound TO the cage Of his tiger
and almost hayed alive. "Buryan" con-
fesses that the bullet was intended Tor
"Hsssan," and that he has killed the
wrong man. The third act is in the
dressing room of the Prague Circus,
and Lady Lii" is oh horse. Has
san" has a claim against the proprietor
of the circus and with II tries TO have
them blacken the reputation Of Lady
Lip to Colonel de Rohan, Lady
Lii" Is unable to prove her innocence,
and in revenge has the gate Of the IT,
gers cage opened, and as "Hassan"
passes the beast attacks and kills him.
In the last act, during the inquiry
into the death Of "Hassan," Lady
Lip accuses herself and kills herself
Just as DE Rohan" declares himself
satisfied of her innocence. =
The piece was mounted in the most
magnificent style, displaying evidence
of great iIberality on the part OF the
management.

SHOT Elm TWICE
A REMARKABLE ARRAY EAST OF THE CITY
BROUsaF TO LIGHT.
Another Polandor Horribly Beaten Up at Bsnwood.
Indecent Assault, Upon Woman.
Sou bern Gels Two Years

William Fisher, Martins Ferry sa-
loon-keeper, was arrested in that place
last night about ten o'clock, by Lieut..
Terrell, of the city police force, on a
warrant charging him with twice shoot
ing William Hartman, of this city, with
intent to wound, disigure, disable and
kill, sworn out before Justice Phillips.
A rife was the weapon used, and
Hartman is laid up at his home suffer
ing from two painful wounds.
The shooting occurred last Sunday,
on the ridge back of Seiberts. Ac-
counts of it differ radically. The YER
sion given By the friends OF the wound
cd man is that Hartmann, Fisher, and
two or three friends went out In the
country on a hunting expedition, and
that Hartmann and Fisher fell out
about the team of horses. Fisher
warned Hartmann not to go near the
horses, and threatened he would shoot
him II he did. Hartmann retorted that
he didn't believe hs would do that, and
again went up to the horses, when
Fisher raised his rifle and shot Hart
mann twice, once in the left leg and
second tine in the left thigh.
When Fisher was brought to the City
Hall last night from Martins Ferry, he
told a very different story. He said
party of four were out hunting, and
after crossing big meadow Fisher said
he was going up over the hill. Hart
mann said II they were going to climb
the hill he would go back, when Fisher
says he jokingly said: "If you go
back I'll shoot you" Hartmann
started back while, Fisher began
to climb the hill with the others Of
the party. When several hundred yards
separated Hartmanhfrom the three men
on sthe hillside, Fisher says one OF his
companions asked him why he didn't
shoot at Hartmann. Fisher says be did
shoot, and that Hartmann just threw
one hand behind him and went on, max
inc no other sign that he had been hit.
After Hartmann had walked a little
further, Fisher says he was again tod
TO shoot at the retreatng man aud ala
so. Hartmann again threw his hand
behind him, but went on as before, and
Fisher and his companions continued
their hunt. Fisher says the first thing
he knew Of Hartmann's being wounded
was when they returned from the hunt.
He then told Hartmann he would
pay his doctor bill aud also his wages
while he was laid off, and said this was
satisfactory to Hartmann. He said
that some OF Hartmann's friends were
over at Martins Ferry yesterday want
ing him TO give security for the doctor
bin and wages, but that he declined TO
do it, and the arrest followed. Fisher
denies there was any bad feeling be-
tween him and Hartmann. The ac-
cused was released on bond Of $500,
before Justice GAiespy, acting for j US
tice Phillips, at eleven o'clock lSst
night, Albert Shane going on the bond.
The hearing will take place before JUS
tice Phillips Saturday morning at ten
o'clock.

yesterday morning. his family being in
great need of his employment, went to
the works to look for work. How 1t
started this time is not known, but
fight ensued. Several young men are
said to have been his assailants. One
felled him with n cinder, cutting cash
four inches long on the side of his head,
severing an artery. The young men
then bounced on him and beat him till
they got tired and then left him. The
injured man, bleeding most terribly,
started for his home near the car barns.
He was so feeble that he could walk but
a few steps without being overcome
by exhaustion. He struggled on In this
way till he reached Boggs' Run, the
blood squirting from the wound leaving
a trail behind clear to the place OF his
assault. Men passing in buggy took
him to his home. DR.. Ford was called,
but, not knowing the accident was
dangerous one, did not arrive till about
9 o'clock. The doctor says he could
trace the Polander's way to his home be-
tween two houses by the spurts OF blood
on the outside of the buildings. Goiske
was found very faint, and gradually
bleeding TO death. The doctor soon
stopped the hemorrhsges. People
generally are indignant over such
treatment. One prominent gentleman
recommended that if the company did
not want to employ the POlanders, let
them know, and save them from being
so bitterly assaulted. Late last night,
Officer John Develin arrested Coon
LucKhard, boy Of South Wood street,
charged as being one Of the Polander's
assailants. Luckhard was given over
to the Benwood authorities, and will be
given hearing this morning.
