AMUsEMENTs,

New National Theater.-The tunefulness
and the scholarship Of 'Lohengrin' COM
bine to make IT. one Of the operas upon
which manager relies for substantial re-
suits. II shows a more genial touch In its
treatment of themes than do the later
operas, which serve to present Wagner
as a unique musical and intellectual giant
1t Is none the less masterpiece for the
lack of the rigid adherence to the theoretic
principles which the great composer de-
veloped. 1t has the poetic majesty both
of thought and musical development that
lift the everyday mortal completely from
the sphere Of the practical into the COM
pletely ideal. The presentation of the
opera by the Tavary company was a highly
creditable one. Nine. Tayary carried the
role of Elsa in d capable manner. and the
singing of Payne Clark was admirable.
Miss Won Doenhoff showed artistic strength
not only unsteady, but dramatically in the
part of Ortrud. The remainder of the cast
presented many points of excellence worthy
of individual compliment. A performance
of "Lohengrin' is a pretty strong test of
almost any company that is not especially
organized, and the manner in which 1t
was given last night entities Manager Chas.

mods Faust will be given, with Tavary,

DECISION AFFIRMED.

Opinion OF the Court Of Appeals on
the Damages for Gen. WilcOx's Death
Among the opinions handed down yester-
day afternoon in the Court of Appeals was
that of Mary r. Wilcox, niece and admin
istratrix Of the late Gen. Cadmus Nj. Will
cox. against the District. The suit was
brought to revover $4,000 damages because
of the death Of Gen. Wilcox, which was
due to injuries received from falling into
an excavation, November 70, 1880, at the
corner Of 18th and G streets. The Ecking-
ton r. r. Co. had been granted q permit by
street and the railroad contracted with the
Crawford Paving Co. to do certain excavat-
ing and filling there. Gen. Wilcox, while
walking down 14th street about o'clock
in the evening" fell to the ground by STEP
ping or catching his foot in one Of the
cuts. He struck his head against the
ground with such force as to cause his
interstate, and as he had never been mar
ried Miss Wilcox sued for $4,000 damages
as next of kin.
There was a verdict in her favor for
$5.4l6 which was reduced by the trial Judge
to 5000. and accepted by the plaintiff.
The District appealed, though the Gran
ford company was really the defendant
I'm the case, the District having recourse
against that company for any loss. There
were numerous exceptions to the rulings
of the trial court, but the main contention
of the defendant seems to have been that
the statute allowing the next Of kin to sue
did not mean relatives so far removed as
the plaintiff. But the Court of Appeals
affirmed the judgment of the court below,
holding that no error had been committed
and that the plaintiff was fully entitled to
sue.
