AT O'BRlEN'S.

It was Pythian night at OBrien's and a large number of them were out among them being members of the uniform rank in parade dress. The programme was Damon and Pythias" and the proceeds for the benefit of Birmingham Lodge No. S5.
 The play, which is familiar to theater- goers of this city, was reproduced last night in as good style as one would care to see it. The leading roles, Damon, Pythias, Dionysius, Calanthe and Her mion, were ably filled by Messrs South erland, Chase and Mellon and Misses Chase and Julia Bennett, and the audi ence was liberal in it's applause.
 An after-piece, Put That Man Out" afforded great food for laughter, and was a pleasing finale to the evening S entertainment.
 At the close of the rendition of Damon and Pythias' Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, on behalf of Birmingham Lodge No. S5, in a happy impromptu speech, presented Miss Chase with magnificent floral tribute, an exact reproduction of the arms of the Pythian order. The charm ing actress, though taken by surprise, accepted the offering in a pretty speech.
 At matinee today Kathleen sMavour- neen'' will be the bill, and tonight, as the closing play of the weeks engagement, a thrilling drama will be presented.

Chicago. May 10.-Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters, with 150 deputy sheriffs, raided the foreign bookmakers at Hawthorne this afternoon just as the results of the second race at Louisville were called off the wire. Deputy Morgan, in charge of the foreign book squad, took the nine sheet writers, including Joe Ullman, and brought them to the city. The horses at the local track were just going to the post in the second race when the raid was made. The word passed rapidly to tha local ring, and the twenty-eight bookmakers buried their slates and got out of harms way. Spectators rushed out of the betting ring and across the infield to escape what they knew not. Persons in the grand stand were still waiting. After the raid on the foreign bookmakers had been made several of the local bookmakers started to post odds. putting up their slates. It was a sorry move, for twenty of the bookies and their assistants were quickly arrest ed and taken to town. Just eight book makers escaped.

MASTERS IS GONE,
And So Is the International Migration Soci-
 ety's Money.

etys Money.
 Savannah, Ga., May 10.-The detec- tives are on the lookout for J. w. Mas ters, who for two months has been act ing as agent here for the International Migration society. Masters was last seen at 10 o'clock last night, and it is believed that he was then on hts way to the depot. He took $400 belonging to the company, this being what he had col lected from negroes on their passage money to Liberia. Several of the ne- groes gave him power of attorney to sell what little property they had in their possession, and the superior court records show where he disposed of about $2500 worth of property in this way, and the unfortunate negroes know nothing of what has been done with their money unless Masters made away with all of it.
 President P. J. Hummer of the society came over from Birmingham yesterday on account of a suspicion that something was wrong, but he could not secure enough evidence to warrant him in hav- ing Masters arrested. Masters, too, saw that something was going on, and made Arrangements to leave. Masters was getting up a colony to go from Chatham 'county to Liberia. He claimed he had l222 in the colony, and said they were to sail about May 20. Their plans, however, twill have to be revised. President Flum- ,mer says he will recover all the money paid on account of passage but that he had not given Masters authority to sell lhny of the negroes property for them. He says the colony will not be given up.

ONE MORE NOTCH
Is Marked on the Pistol Stock of the Out
 ragged Husband.


 Cincinnati, May 1O.-A special to the Post from Lexington Ky, says: A kill- ing similar to the Brown-Gordon affair at Louisville took place here at 2 o'clock this morning.
 Bert Hall who keeps grocery on Ken ton street, had for a clerk young man named Volney Baird, who also boarded with the family. Hall went to the gro cery early, and after opening up said he was sick and returned to his home on Jefferson street. There he found Baird and a quarrel ensued which brought on a fight. Hall had a pistol lying on the mantel and grabbed it They clinched and fight throughout the house followed in which lamps, vases, pictures and other things were broken and upset. The fighters finally got into the hallway, where Hall succeeded in bringing his pis- tol in line with Bairds head and pulled the trigger. 5Ha
 The ball entered below and slightly to the left of the left eye and penetrated the brain, lodging in the. back of his skull. Baird fell dead with his head near the front door and squarely on his back.
 It seems that Hall had for some time suspected Baird and his wife, and had often upbraided her regarding alleged unfaithfuness. In reply to his charges she would tell him that Baird said he (EIalD was intimate with various women and accused him of consorting with ne- gro girls. Hall set about to investigate, and this morning, coming at the hour when his wife supposed he was at his grocery, and at the usual time for Baird to come to his breakfast, it is said, found his suspicion to be correct and engaged in the terrible fight with Baird. Hall and his wife were locked up. They have two small children
