 One Of the beauties of the week will be that Birmingham will see and hear operas that have not been sung to death in this community, but which are first class productions in every respect.
 1t will, in fact be the most notable en- gagement of opera Birmingham has ever enjoyed. There are greater artists in the company than any dollar and half show travelling south ever had. The name of J. Aldrieh Libbey alone should suffice the public to know that a S350 high class baritone would not be a mem- Der of any organization except of the highest merit. Mir.

 Coroner Dusenberry yesterday morning was notified that the dead body of Jim Thompson,a negro, was found in a spring at Green Springs, few miles below the city. At noon the coroner left for the scene to bring the body back to the city. The negro was sent to the spring by the people with whom he was living, and not returning a look for him discovered his dead body in the spring.
 The supposition is that the negro was playing in the spring and his foot slipped, precipitating him headforemost into the water, and he drowned before he could regain his position,

ANACOSTIA.

One of the most remarkable accidents,
the particulars of which have just come to
light, occurred about three miles south of
Anacostia Thursday evening. A colored
man named William Bowie and his wife,
who live in Washington, had gone to visit
some friends in that neighborhood, and dur
ing the day the entire party, it is said,
drank considerably of liquor. At night it was
determined to have an exhibition of fire
works, but none of those. present were in
any condition to handle them. Several
tried, however, to DO so, and were badly
burned. After this had gone on for several
hours, Bowie produced large revolver and
began firing it off. Only few shots had been
discharged. however. when the chamber of
the weapon became diSarranged, and the
pistol was prematureiy discharged, the
ball passing through Bowie's hand, and,
strange as 1t may seem, passed through his
wife's upper lip. although she was standing
some distance away, knocked out eight of
her teeth, split her tongue for a third Of
its length. after which she swallowed the
bullet. DR.. 7, D. Mudd of Anacostia, who
was sent for, rendered surgical aid, after
which the injured parties were taken home.
Bowie Is able to be about again, but his
wife is in a serious condition.
Mrs. w. G.. Davenport, VINO Is taking a
great deal of interest in making the Salt
Water Home for Children at Colonial
Beach a success. and has spent much time
there recently, was at her home in Ana
costa f)r few days this week, but has
again gone to Colonial Beach. Mrs. Daven-
port says: THE home has already been of
much service to the poor children for whose
fenetit it was intended, but the lady man
ayers are much cramped for many neces-
sary articles. The buildings are still in an
Ill finished state. The smaller one has been
made comfortable. and is occupied. The
other is being rapidly covered in, and in
two or three weeks be filled, as it
probably will be, with happy children and
their worn out mothers" Mrs Davenport
says further: IF every citizen would send
the ladies the price of one cigar, the
home would not want for support. and
great blessing would be conferred on those
who need. Two faithful nurses who have
had long experience. have been secured"
