WHY He LEFT TowN.--It is said
that Louis A. Cuvillier, who recently
left Washington, after career ofcrook-
edness, left because of warrant for his
arrest on account of violation of the
postal laws. District Attorney Birney
stated yesterday that complaint was
made to him last week by MIR. Dugan,
of Hancock, Md. Some time ago Mr..
Dugan wished to collect a bill against a
gentleman in Georgetown. He sent it
to C. P. Culver, a lawyer practicing in
Washington, for collection. On ac-
count of some similarity between the
rames it was delivered by the post
office officials to MI. Cuvillier. He
opened the letter, and learning of its
contents, visited the gentleman in
Georgetown and collected $3.50, the
amount of the bill. Mr.. Dugan heard
nothing further about it, and finally
came to town to look after the matter.
The gentleman in Georgetown stated
that he had paid the amount due to
Mr.. Cuvillier. who had left his pro-
fessional card. Complaint was entered
Immediately with the district attorney,
and a warrant was issued. But Mr..
Cuvillier left before it could be served.

well-known colored resident of this city,

employed as a driver for several of the
coal merchants, was found dead in his
house on south Alfred street this even
ing. He had not been seer for several
days. DR.. Purvis viewed the body this
evening and found it to be much de-
composed. There were no marks of vio-

much pleased with the evenings enjoy
ment, as were all Others who pa:tici-
pated in the festivities. A special train
left here with the Washingtonians at
1890 o'clock. Major George Dufley,
of Andrew Jackson Lodge, one of the
visiting brethren, wore the same white
satin apron he had on when he partici-
pated in the ceremonies attending the
laying o%fthecorners stone of theWashing-
ton Monument in 1852. Messrs. J. A. and
w. w. Cogan contributed to the deco
rations of the lodge by placing in the
east a square and compass composed of
gas jets. This device was constructed
by the late VIM. Cogan. 1t was much
admired by all present.

FIGHT SToPPED.-It being generally
known hat boxing matches would take
place at Henry's Theatre, on Fairfax
street, last night, Mayor Strauss in
structed the police force to be on hand
and should anything approximating a
fight occur to put n quietus on it at
once. Captain Webster, Lieutenant
Smith and Officers Hayes and Davis
put in their appearance among the par
Elephants and the five hundred specta-
tors at the proper time, and before the
performance began Lieutenant Smith
mounted the stage and read the riot
act. Joe Bateman, the instructor OF
the Columbia Athletic Club, of
Washington, and Jack Delaney, of
New York, were up for the first
round. Delaney had the best of it
in weight, height and reach, but
Bateman gave him q severe tussel. 1t
was give and take from start to finish.
Referee Heath finally decided the con-
test a draw, which was virtually a vic
tory for Bateman, considering De-
laney's advantage in weight, height
and reach. The second display of the
art of self-defense was some clever
sparring. 1t was between Howard
Wilson, of Washington, ard Dave Car
roll. of Baltimore. Wilson was event
nally knocked out. Then came the
bout of the evening between Mike
Ready and Billy Nally. But they had
not proceeded far before smuggling be-
gan in earnest, and Captain Webster
proceeded to the stage and brought the
mill to an abrupt termination. The
referee syEpathized with the captain
and became disguised with the per-
formance. This ended the exhibition
and the gladiators and spectators later
vacated the hall in "peaceable manner.

day night abounds with good things,
and one of the most amusing bits OF
comedy in the play is where Catesley
Duff tells the story of his life with the
aid of his own piano accompaniment.
The act, while intensely droll, is so
artistic that Mr.. George CASTOR, who
appears as Catesley Duff, never fails to
receive hearty applause.

IL VIII Take Place at Albaugh's on
May 8.

Ever since Albaughs Opera House was
opened for the amusement of the public
Mr.. Harry c. Fisk has occupied the respon-
sible position of its local manager, and to
his pleasing personality and the cheerful
manner in which he has ever approached
his exacting duties the popularity of the
playhouse has been, In a large measure due.
The correspondence which follows Is self
explanatory. and the result of 1t will, in all
successful theatrical events in the history
Of Washington. while the substantial re-
turns cannot fail to be extensive to the
beneficiary, who Is cherished by legions of
warm friends wherever his acquaintance
ship extends. The correspondence shows
that on the 4th instant Mr. John w. AL
baugh wrote from the Lyceum Theater,
Baltimore. to Mr.. Fisk. as follows:
My Dear Sir-In view of the fact that our
business relations will close with the pres
ent season, beg to express to you my hear
~ appreciation of the energy, fidelity and
ability you have displayed during our con-
nection OF the past ten years. My best
WISHES are for your prosperity and success in
the future. and, further evidence of
my appreciation Of your faithful services,
Deg TO tender you testimonial benefit to
take place at any time you may select be-
fore the close of the regular season.
TO this Mr.. Fisk sent the following reply:
My Dear Sir-I beg to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your favor of the 4th instant, and
10 express my warmest gratitude and
wishes. 1 appreciate very highly your offer
OF testimonial benefit to myself, and beg
TO name Saturday evening, May 5th, as the
date for the same.

The Overdraw Check Rein.

10 tne EdltOr OF ENeulux otar.
Not long since I observed a communica-
ton in your columns protesting against the
use Of the cruel and brutal overdraw check
rein. 1t is to be hoped the agitation in that
direction will not cease till 1t has effect, and
that instrument of torture has been left out
Of the equipment Of the indispensable and
faithful horse. 1t is common to witness
every day valuable and beautiful horses dis
figured in their carriage and tortured by
this brutal piece Of harness while being
driven by men who would be credited with
knowing better. We see horses standing at
the curb, refined up with the overdraw,
throwing their heads from side to side to
relieve the pain in the back of the neck and
the sudden strain on the upper Jaw.
few days ago / saw valuable stallion
being driven down It'll street in sulky by
an ignorant driver, the animals head refined
up by the overdraw till a line from his
crown to his nose was parallel. exposing his
eyes to the glare of the sun and rendering
him unable to see where he was stepping.
The overdraw Is neither a thing of beauty
nor usefulness. and should be abolished
Let US hear more in condemnation of 1t for
the sake of our good friend, the horse
