 Street by an Infuriated Italian.
 During drunken brswl at 39 Fair street yesterday afternoon Charles F. Nugent was cut with an axe on the right arm, and re- eeived . wound about an inch long and three-fourths of an inch in depth. During the afternoon Pasquale Nocirino, an Italian residing in the house, Charles Nugent and Michael Kelleher occupied themselves in ''rushing the growler," to use the slang expression of the day. All went we'll until about o'clock, when in consequence of tho condition of all hands . general brawl eeusued during the course of which Noci- rino used an axe which was near at hand with telling effect.
 All three were placed under arrest and taken to police headquarters where the Italian was charged with breach of the peace and the other two with drunkenness. Dr. Bellosa was called and dressed Nugent'a wound, taking three stitches in 1t. Noci- rino was subsequently released under bonds of $300.

Entertainments. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

NA~>>ss~ @~SSSAs'
 "Eagls's Nest" had large audience at the Grand opera house last night. There will be matinee to-day, and the engage ment closes with the evening performance. To say that MT. Lonergan in the part of Jack Trail surprised the audience feebly expressed the feeling his acting inspired. They did not know whether to stamp him as a genius or one who had false concep- tion of the character, but as the play went on the conviction grew upon them that he was giving . remarkable performance. When the people began to und erstand it they began to applaud, and before the play was over MT. Lonergan had made . decided hit. The supporting company h | good one, especially Frank Kildsy ss Robert Blsssdon and Addie Cummings ss Sierra Suze.
 Whalen & Msrtelps "South Before the War" comes to the Grand opera house the first three days of next week. There will be a matinee Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- cast of capable players and with host of specialties.
