ContraR Notes.

CENTRAL, .. u, Oct. ths 1870.
| Our town was greatly shocked
on last Friday evening by the
news that Mr.. James r. Lay had
been shot and killed by George e.
Hinson near the factory.
Hlnson had been working for
Mr.. Lay on bridge. There was
some disagreement about the work
done and Mr. Lay refused to settle
at the time. On the fatal evening
Hinson sent for Mr.. Lay to come
up on the bridge. When Mr.. Lay
went, the question of a settlement
was brought up again. Hjnson
drew his pistol and without prov
ocatlon- fired, the ball entering Mr..
Lays groin. Anegro Fed" Ogles-
by, took hold of Hinson to stop
him when by some means he was
thrown from the bridge. AS he
fell Hinson put ball through
him. He then turned to Mr.. Lay
and taking hold Of him put his
pistol to left side of his neck and
fired. Mr.. Lay sank down upon
tho bridge and after requesting
the doctor and his wife to be sent
for, soon expired. Hinson jumped
off the bridge and made good his
escape. He was followed some
distance by Mr.. Dean and Mr..
Morck, but thoy could not over
take him.
The inquest was held on Satur-
day and all the evidence goes to
prove that it was most brutal
murder. Mr.. Lay was buried on
yesterday at Sharon, the Rov. S.
II. Zimmerman conducting the
services.
Mrs. Lay has offered n reward
of $3.50 which tho Governor has
supplemented. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Martin has offered a reward

CONSTHT'ErTHON GONVEN-
VTON

The Convention had been in scs-
sion nearly four weeks and then
took a recess until tho 18th instant,
thus giving tho members an op-
Dortunlty to 60 homo and attend
to their private affairs, which
doubtless needed their attention.
At tins season time at homo is
very precious and considerable loss
in business was saved by tho recess,
and the taxpayers will hardly be
any tho worse off by it. Tho chon-
ic speakers may rccuperatc and
treat the convention to more su-
perliuous oratory.
While the convention has not
much to show, yet it has accom-
plishcd a great deal and tho unfin-
lshcd work may not consume a
very long time. The amount of
work necessary to the construction
OF Il new constitution was q sur
prise to many and although it was
admirably divided and assigned tc
tho laborers, who have performed
thcir tasks diligently and faithful
ly, yet the progress has not bccl
as rapid as expected. 1t is we'll t'
take timc and do Il good Job, whil

1t is gratifying to obscrcvc tha

Shooting a Bull.

Sir Andrew Agnew was "a Draw
soldier" AS commander of the Scots
Fusiliers he did gallant service
against the pretender in 1745 and
subsequently against the French in
Flanders. He used to boast that
though he had been in many battles,
he had never seen the English de-
feated. But he himself once came
near losing his life in a personal en-
counter
Sir Andrew, as laird of large es-
tate, took great interest in his live
stock. One day, while visiting herd
of cattle, he was attacked by dan
gerous bull.
Not accustomed to run away, Sir
Andrew made such a bad double, that
he narrowly escaped ending his ca
reer then and there. AS it was he
clambered over the wall just in time
to avoid the blow of the battering
ram.
Sir Andrew went to the house, u.s.
ing strong language, and soon reap
peared, gun in hand. Re-entering
the field, he grunted out, "Ye had
me at a disadvantage, We, Tory, but
I'll fight ye fairly now.
The servants, following at safe
distance, begged him not to enter the
paddock, where the mad bull was
roaring Justify.
"Hoot! I'll fight the loon fairly.
The mair noise the less fear. But stay
ye there if We please, dryly answer
ed Sir Andrew.
The bull made rush. Sir Andrew
coolly aimed the gun. The bullet did
it's duty, and the bull fell dead. AS
the servants crowded round the
harmless brute, Sir Andrew improv-
ed the occasion by saying, "The loon
that brags over mickle is never a
good fighter. Youth S Companion.

How Turks Pray For the Infldels.

The following is an exact transla-
ton from the Arabic of the official
prayer of Islam, which is used
throughout Turkey and daily repeat
ed in the Cairo Azhar university by
TO- 900 Mohammedan students from
all lands;
IT seek refuge with Allah from
Satan, the accursed In the name OF
Allah the Compassionate, the Merci-
full! o Lord of all Creaturesl o AL
lahl Destroy the infidels and poly
theists, thine enemies, the enemies
of the religion o Allah Make their
children orphans, and defile their
abodes, and cause their feet to slip,
and give them and their families,
and their households and their WON.
en-, and their children, and their rel.
atives by marriage, and their broth
ers, and their friends, and their pos.
sessions, and their race, and their
wealth, and their lands, as booty to
the moslems, 0 Lord of all Crea,
! turesP'
In all the other religions of even
the semicivilized nations of the globe
there can be no prayer found to par
allel this cruel appeal of Islam to the
spirit of inhumanity. Bulgaria, Da-
mascus, Lebanon and Armenia may
! or may not be mere hotbeds of anti.
Turkish intrigue. With such ma
tional prayer Turkey stands sell
condemned before the world. Phil

" The Operator"

The Newell brothers made their reap
pearance in this city last night, presenting
at the Aleazar, before a good-sized audi
ence, their successful drama, ''The Oper-
ator.''
The play has been written around the
extraordinary facial resemblance between
the Newells, and the playwright has added
opportunities for scenic effect and spec
tacular scenes, which are cleverly given.
The shipwreck and the railroad explosion
are strong scenes and are well received.
The support given the stars is very
good one. George P. Webster and Lew
Rose are the principal male support and
acted admirably. Leslie Lysle took the
part of tie heroine, Lillian Turner, and
also that of the slave girl, Wanda, and did
both excellently. Media Brown, Josephine
Gassman and Helen Courtney were the
rest of the female support and the whole
cast was very effective.
"The Operator" is announced for this
week only.

The Irish PLAY at Morosco's.

tMcKenna's Filtration" the clever COM
edy that gave Barry and Fay such sue
cess here some years ago, was given at
Morosco's Grand Opera-house last night
before a large and well-entertained audi
ence. The production had the advantage
of being given under the personal super
vision of the author of the play, Edgar
Selden, who also took the part of
the flirtatious McKenna, and did it ex-
cellently. Mr.. Benrinno, who is doing good
work here, was the Michael Ryan of the
cast, and his acting was in line with Mr..
Selden's, they forming in personal appear
.ance the long and short of the play. Mr..
Swain as Greenleaf Blackstone Kent made
a hit, as did Leslie Morosco, the "chappie,' u
Willert Chase of the cast.
The leading female part, Mary Ellen
Ryan the elder, whose mistake gives rise to
a feud between her husband and his friend,
was given to Nina Gleason, who played
it nicely, although suffering by comparison
with Isabella Coe, who played the part
here before. The daughters part was very
nicely taken by Helen Henry, who added
to the attractiveness of the performance by
singing several of Mr. Selden's songs.
Julia Blanc and Sara Stevens were also
capital, and the whole cast was good.
"McKenna's Filtration" is throughout a
bright and clever play, well performed,
and should do large business for its
week s RIM

An Outlook for Magic.

The magician Hermann appears to be a
necessity to a complete theatrical season.
His entertainment contains an element of
enjoyment not to be found in any other
department of the show world. This
queer, odd exponent of the Signor Blitz-
like type of the art of diablerie has been
always a favorite, for he is relied on to
present new and startling novelties each
season, and amusement-lovers calculate in
advance on the surprises he has in store
for them. 1t is promised by the manage
ment OF the California that Hermann will
during the coming week present a greater
line of reconcile novelties than ever
before-some things that emo fellow
can find out" as Sothern used to say. At
least, this is the verdict awarded him dur
ing the Worlds Fair, at the Chicago Opera
house. Herrmann's programme, besides
new and surprising Straightforward tricks,
viii contain his latest and most marvellous
illusions, the ''Asiatic trunk mystery"
the Mosaic miracle of ''Noah's Ark" the
national phenomenon, "the Columbian
transformation, and the spectacular
comedia-magico, ''the Artists Dream"
Every moment of Herrmann's programme
is said to be filed with surprises, and he
himself, on account of his many years and
extraordinary activity, is the greatest sur
prise of all. His handsome wife, Nine.
Hermann, will also be seen in conjunction
with her husband. Her latest spectacular
dances are very. elaborate
