WE are still of the opinion that the charge against ARABI Pasha should be simple assault and battery, OUR Washington special gives a view of the Speakership contest not altogether encouraging to Mr.

RANDALL. CoNGREss will assemble on MonSay, and In about two weeks the hardstatesmen will take a long recess for the purpose of taking caramels and gingerbread horses out of their stockings. RHODE ISLAND is small enough, certainly; but Massachusetts bas now straignt line and claims 350 acres that belongs probably to the little State. That in a farm worth fighting for, and little Rhody has knit her brows and put on her armor. THE New York World has taken a calm view of all the reports from Washington, and thinks MAHONE Inust have squeezed $150.000 or $200,000 out of the clerks and HUBBELL's committee.

This doesn't leave a large margin for MAHONE's well-known modesty. Min. NATHAN GOFF, who was Secretary of the Navy for fifteen or twenty or such a matter, has emerged from his retirement to predict a great victory for the Republican party in 1884. Mr. GOFF, we believe, does not enjoy the reputation of political seer.

THERE is an apparent disposition to get Mr. RIDDLEBERGER, of Virginia, into trouble. He has recognized the code, and It is expected he will fight a duel with the Washington correspondent of the State, who has hinted that ho is Dot averse to a meeting. NEW YORK had a great meeting Tuesday night in the interest of the foundsLion for the BARTHOLDI statue of liberty, and several prominent citizens declaimed on the stage, while others posed in the boxes, The next thing is to raise the funds. The money will have to come.

New York can not afford to let the statue go to some other city. is a wandering and unsteady report from Washington that the President In his message will recommend a dignified foreign policy in harmony with the country's best traditions, and in strong contrast with the bullying and buccaneering policy of Mr. BLAINE." This probably means, it it means any thing, that the portion of the message devoted to foreign affairs will be diluted and non-committal. This reminds us, by the way, that the name of the Secretary of State is FRELINGHUYSEN, Ir is reported from Washington that some of Ex-Marshal HENRY's friends have advised him to bring suit for libel against Attorney-General BREWSTER for the statements made concerning him in his letter to the President. The ENQUIRER made this wise suggestion some days ago, and we are glad to see that Mr.

HENRY'S friends think well of It. We made the suggestion solely in the interest of barmony. We are anxious to see peace in the Repablican party, and this will, of course, help to bring it about. By all means, let the papers be fled at once. THE blood-and-thunder drama received a set- back in this city yesterday when one of its disciples shot and almost instantly killed a woman in attempting to shoot an apple from her head.

We do not believe that the love.for the sensational and hairraising on the stage demands that any body's life should be placed in actual peril. Sarely, it does not demand any such foolhardy performance as shooting an apple from a woman's head by what is known as the backward shot, which is to take aim in a looking-glass while facing from the object to be shot at. If this sort of basiness is required by theater-goers, then it is time the drama was inspected by the police, and the dangerous parts eliminated. We are not yet prepared to see "Nancy Sykes brains actually beaten out upon the stage, or our mimic soldiers load their muskets with real powder and bail. The company which appeared in yesterday's real tragedy have in their esthetic repertoire a play in which a man ters a lion's cage.

This beast bas already killed his man, and from the temper he displays at times it would not be surprising if be killed another any day. The Jaw should step in and make the wild boast exit from the drama along with the loaded gun. The tine is opportune to call attention to the dangerous trapeze performances which have become a feature of the speelalty stage. These are almost as common as the shooting scenes, and quite as dangerous, It is not many months since a woman fell from a trapeze in this city and received injuries which will cripple her for life. It is a disgrace to the stage, to say nothing of the criminality which taches to the proceedings, to allow this sort of thing to continue.

HON, JONATHAN T. UPDRORAVE, of Jetferson County, member of Congress from the Sixteenth (new Seventeenth) Ohio District, died yesterday, according to briet dispatch printed elsewhere. Imperfect communication with the GRATE home deprives us of particulars. The exact character of his disease only recently discovered, and It boped that an operation wold place him on the road to recovery; but be was probably too much debilitated by long sickness to passthe surgical ordeal. Mr.

was a native of Jefferson County. He was educated a a physician, graduating at schools in this country, and in Edinburgh and Paris. He practiced anedicino and was a surgeon in the Union Army, but was probably more devoted to agriculture than to his profession, and was of late years actively engaged in politics. Not regarded as especially profound, he was rather a rallying stomp speaker. He had been a Presidential Elector and a State Senator, and had been elected to Congress three times.

His death leaves a vacancy In the Forty-seventh Congress from the old Sixteenth District, which will expire on the 3d of March next, and will make new election necessary in the new Seventeenth District for a Representative in Forty-eighth Congress, which will convene till the first Monday In December, 1883 a year hence--unless sooner called extra session. The old and new district are both composed of Belmont, Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson and Noble Counties, the Legislature, in redistricting, having only changed the number. The district largely Republican, We have alarming intelligence from Richmond, to the effect that Senator H. H. RIDDLEREROER, ME.

MAHONE's lieutenant, has been placed in a position which will necessitate his fighting a duel of showing the white feather, something which no "gentleman" can do and maintain his "honor." And what is worse, this combat will have to be fought with man by the plebeian name of McCARTY. appears that McCARTY has written a letter to the press over his own signature, making use of fighting language In his references to Mr. MIDDLEBERGER, and then baving the announcement made in the same issue of the paper that ho is close at hand can be found in case any aggrieved person may want to hear from him, or words that effect. So stating, he vacates the floor for Mr. RIDDLEBERGER, That there will be reeking duel seems likely, unless somebody should neglect to bring along the cape, as was the case when RIDDLE BERGER attempted to destroy a fellowman in a duel some months ago.

is some speculative talk in Washington correspondence about military people. which has plausibility, bus which is not sufficient consequence to get any body alted: "We are told that a petition is now gaietly circulated asking congress to repeal so much of the appropriation bill for the currebt sear makes the retirement of General MAN compulsory upon his attaining the of sixty-four. Une of the arguments in favor of this measore is that fu case of the retirement of SHEENAN, as the law now provides, the command of the army will devolve apon SHERIDAN during what may prove a critical Presidential campaign. "The supposed hostility to SHERIDAN OUI part of the Democratic members is the membrance of Dis celebrated banditti dispatch sent at the time he was in command New Urleans. the other hand it is averted that a combination of the friends SHERIDAN and HANCOCK will ask that the grades of General and Lieutenant-General rertved, the derstanding being that SHERIDAN shall promoted to General and HANCOCK LO eneral.

Genemi, be overslaughed HALLECK MEADE, although the former was 'tull Stajor: Geueral belore SERRIDAN was even a Major," THE Charleston News and Courier views in this light: General BREWSTER is vehement in denunciation of the Star Route thieves, noping to conceal from the public view own deficiencies as the representative of the Government.

There is no health or help in the whole Rad cal coucero, and, although frauds may be expored the rascals will not be hunted down until the hunters belosz to a difterent political party from the bunted." THE advocates of competitive examination for the Civil Service will be deeply interested in the following current paragraph, especially in the concluding sentence: behooves a man who expects to enter the competitive examinations in China to be sare of his physical condition, as well as of his inattainments.

The annual provincial examinations were held this year in Hangehow. whose streets are deseribed as having literally swarmed with students of every age. from fifteen to eighty, and of all conditions. The 'examination ball' was an Inclosure of about eight acres, containing 10,000 cells for the competitors, each cell being three feet wide. feet long and seven feet nigh.

The candidates went in on the eighth day of the eighth moon, and remained in two nightsand one day. They returned on the eleventh, and went through the same which was re. peated again from the fourteenth to the six. teenth. A candidate is occasionally found dead in his cell." THE Boston Advertiser is moved to say: New York Journal notes Mr.

GEORGE explaining the delay in removing the Marshal of the District of Columbia and other officials that implicated in body, the Star tired Route out business when by saying every was the trials ended last and auxtous to get away from Washingion. This is a lame excuse. If Governmental honor and public decency are not to be vindicated if officiais happen to be 'tired out' and to leave a new set of officials, not 50 easily wearied and not so anxious for tions, had better take their places. It in gracious to be overeritical when the authori. ties do a good piece of work like the driving out of once of these men: yet Mr.

THANKSGIVING MUSIC.

The Choral Concert at Music Hall By the May Festival Chorus and Local Soloists. The concert given last night at Music Hail under the auspices of the Buy Festival Assoclation gave those present an opportanity to judge of the material of which the chorus is composed that will wing at the next May Festival in 1884. The concert proved to be one of the most Interesting and enjoyable yet given this season, and attracted an audience that numbered perhaps about 3.000 people, filing the big hall about two-thirds fall The programme bad a dignited cast, and appealed to the taste of lovers of the high order of music. It incladed some of the most effective bers from Bach's "Passion" music, Mozart's rich and beautiful Verum," Schuman's "Gypsy Life," for soloists and chorus. Brahms' "Part Songs for Women's Voices," recitatives and chorals from "Elijah," and selections from Handel' great work, "Israel in Egypt." In this scheme there is a superabundance of matter for discourse.

Nearly all of the maste was new to the listeners, and consequently stirred up the fancy marvelously. The music, too, was as grateful to the singers as to the bearers, and they received plenty of encouragement in the frequent and rapturous applause that was given by the audieuce. The choir WAS banked, in the usual way, in 1 half circle from one side of the stage to the other, close to and around the big organ, making an effective, Impressive and pretty night. It numbered about 600 voices, and it was noticeable that the women both outnumbered and outsang the men. Promptness in the attack, precision, intelligent expression, good volame and fine mu.

steal quality of tone-these were the striking qualities of the choir's singing last night. In the swelling foale to the evening's work, the great Halistone Chorus, from "Israel in Egypt," the enunciation of the singers was remarkably clear, and the toue quality pompous and thrilling The lovely and dainty melody in Schumann's Life," charmed the audience to a high degree. This was not strange, for his would be a stolid mind, indeed, that such melody could not dance into captiyity. It is a singularly expressive piece of music and proved a delightful novelty, In this number the soloists were all heard to good advantage. Miss Hetl ich'a pare, high soprano, blended barmoniously in this, as well as the other pumbers, with Miss Cranch's rich and mellow alto, and Messra, Thompson and Sullivan both won for themselves new honors.

The interest of the evening doubtedly centered in Brahms' part songs for women's voices. They are all origtoal in style and full of striking effects. but the song from Ossian's is thor. oughly dramatic, and fall of strong contrasts. The melodiousnessand beauttia! expression in all four selections came like a revelation to those who heard them for the first time.

The curiosity to bear these nurabers which atled the listeners was followed by surprise, and surprise by admiration as the music took hola of the audienc, and carried it nionz on an Irreststible curreut of pieasuruble excitement. The third song, "Greetings," was so Ingly rendered the audience demanded a repetittou. The songs were given with horns and harp accompaniment. Messes, Sourickel and Knouft the sorus and that etiarming lady and accomplished musician and teacher, diadam Marelzek, of the College of Music, plugins the harp. Madam Maretzek was greeted with rounds of applause both as she came upou the stage and after the per- formance of Lue numbers.

Her burp playing is tuil of poetical expression, and the color. ing and beautifal tone she gave to her work shone out clearly in the suort but serous and difficult passages which she had to perform. Messrs. Sebrickel and Koanfe also themselves worthy of the fine reputatLou as musiciaus which they have. The selections from Buch's Passion music were well given, and the work, masically, 18 beyond the comprehension of the average as the themes are too solemn and somber to please the general listener.

The grand chorus of this work, "Ye Liglitnings, Ye Thunder!" wassaDe with thrilling enect. Mozart's "Ave- Verum." calm and beautiful, full of rich harmonies and simple fu construction, proved one of the most pleasing and entertaing numbers of the evening. The strength of the chorus was fully pronght out in the did selections sins at from times the Elijah." least if the chorus tough or slightly out of tune, due allowance shonid be made, for the reason, could doubtedly be found in three -too much tarkey.

This great now being rehearsed by the Festival chorus for the neat May Festival. A glimpse only at the beautiful harmonic devices with which this grand com position abounds was given in the recitation wud ruses produced-lastevening, but it was enough to make one impatient to near the work in its entirety. To Mr. Whiting, the organist of the College of Music, is due much credit for the success of the concert He played and the "Elijah" breadth over: ture with noble syle, great expression and richness of tone.

Mr. Arthur Sees conducted with perfect and spirit, and certainly has good reason to feel proud of his chorus and their work last night. NOTE. THERE will be a rehearsal of "The Messiah" by the May Festival chorus at Masto Hall on Monday evening. Mysterions Catting Case.

Fearful Scene in the Coliseum The ater Yesterday Afternoon. The Fourth Act of "Si Sloeum Closes With a Real Tragedy, Utmost Confusion in the Theater at the Time of the Accident. Several Ladies Faint, and the Audience at Once Dismissed. The Wounded Actress Never Recovers Consciousness, and Dies In Twenty-three Minutes. Mr.

Frayne Exhibits the Wildest Grief and Horror at the Dreadful Accident. He Is at Once Arrested on the Charge of Manslaughter. Released on $3,000 Bail, Furnished By Mr. Hubert Heuck. Antecedents of the Slayer and the Slain, With Full Particulars of the Deplorablo Affair.

Frank I. Frayne, the well-known actor, yesterday, on Thanksgiving Day, accidentally shot and killed Miss Anna Von Bet ren on the stage of the Coliseum Theater. -three hundred persons witnessed the terrible trayedy, and so sudden, so awfal, was the scene that bat few of the vast audience knew that the bullet had been sent on its death mission, crashing through the brain of the unfortusate actress. It happened just before the close. of the fourth act, and the curtain was rung down upon the dying agony of Miss Von Befiren and the play at the same time.

When Frayne fired his rifle the brave woman, upon whose head the apple rested, fell back upon the stage without a word, the blood and. brains oozing from gaping wound in her head, and the audience became paralyzed with mingled amazement and fear. Only those in the front rows had an idea of the real extent of the calamity, and one or two cried out, "He's killed her." Then a sceue of indescribable confusion began. Several ladies fainted, and men jumped to their feet to see what was pussing on the stage. But the curtain had fallen, and the ghastly sight was hidden from the view of the spectators of the play.

The tragic news was taken up and carried back to those in the vestibule of the theater. Outside the alarm was repeated and passed from mouth to mouth down Vine street'aud all oyer the olty. The report was carried down town that the roof of the Coltsoum had fallen in, and of excited and frantic parents rushed to the scene, where they knew their loved ones were. The audience was, of course, at once dismissed, bat they did not disperse to their homes. Reinforced by hundreds from every direction, they swayed to and fro betore the doors of the theater, catching eagerly at every word which indicated the condition of the wounded girl.

It was, Indeed, a horrible Thanksgiving drama with Frank Frayne and Anna Von Behren, for the tragic actors, and an andience of over 2,000 people. And the sympathy shown aud spoken in that vast sea of humanity, sarging baekward and forward before the Coliseum, was a credit to human nature. Few there were who did not pity the poor dying woman, and who did not express sorrow for the culamity and commiseration for the almost crazed slayer of Miss Vou Behren. The scene on the street was in striking contrust frith the appeagance of the little knot of tearful men and women standing by the side of the wounded actress as she peacefully and unconsciously passed beyond the brink. Every oDe realized the presence of death, and in -three minutes after the fatal shot was dred all was over.

A ghastly stream of blood and brains almost gushed from the head of the dying woman, and the dark, silky bair was clotted with the life-fluid. The mouth and nostrils also sent forth sanguinary fond, but the victim of the accident knew the glances of horror and pity cast upon her by the sympathetic members of her profession. Dr. L. A.

Querner, of Race street, was summoned with all possible haste, but his presence WaS useless, and he could avail nothing in staying the rapid work of death. The particulars of the barrowing tragedy are as follows: THE PLAY OF THE DAT Was "81 Slocum," a drama of the nitra sensational type, written expressly for Frayne several sears ago by Clifton Tayleure, who dramatized Lynne." It purports to deal with wild Western life, acd its principal incidents are caused by the hatred of one alias "Vasquez," for "St Slooum." Early in the play both are employes in the sume establishment. Slocum" detects "Ramez" in a forgery, and the latter, in return, Das a confederate place a bundle of lace in "Slocum's" pocket and then has him arrested for theft.

Then ensues bitter struggle for its retention and possession, whieh ends in the discomfiture of "Vasquez." Incidental to the story is any quantity of good humor, wild scenes, animal sagacity and expert rife-shooting. THE FATAL SHOT. The fourth act of the drama was nearly over when the fatal shot was fired. The scene was Ranch, "occupying the full depth of the stage. At the back a rocky pass was seen, in front of which was a little stream covered by bridge.

On the right was "SI house. Other parts of the stage were occupied by trees, a table and two "targets."

She is bound, and just as the Mexican was about to shoot her her little son ran on, and with his Fife wounded the Mexican in the arm, causing him to drop his gun and run away. The boy, amid the applause of the andience, endeavored ansuccessfully to unfasten the bonds of his mother. dog came to the rescue, and with his teeth tore loose the fetters that beld her in captivity.

As she was released the gallery thundered Its plandits, In the midst of the cheering, band-clapping and stamping on came Pragne as "SI accompanied by Dutchman and a negro. "Rath" told him the story of "Vasquez' visit. regretted that be was pot there to properly receive the scoundrel, and, by way of showing what he could do with his ride, told the Dutchman he would color his meerschaum for him, and raising his weapon to his shoulder broke the pipe in his mouth.

Then telling the darky that he would tale his portrait caused him to alt in front of tripod, on which a gun was fastened which pointed to a shelf of two nails over 'a" hend, on which was a common saucer.

The ball pasced through If and striking backing connected with the trigger of the gun above it, It was discharged, and its ball abivered the Saucer over head. This double shot evoked another tumultuous burst of appisase. As it ceased. "Stocum" walked down the stage saying.

"Do yon know. what that shot reminds me of As he spoke he looked off the stage, and seeing and his gang, be said. "See there! See the red faces of the Mexicans peeping through the chaparral.

Vasquez- Your answer.

Quick, Slocum-Yes: I'll make the trial, but heaven help you if I fall. Vasquez crossed thestage, and, Slocum turning to said -Give ine that apple." He took the apple, and placing her well up the stage, put it on her bead, or rather on the hat which covered her head, saying as he did 50: your face, darling, for the sight of your exes would unnerve ine. Be firm for my 'sake. Heaven bless you. Heaven bless you." Little Freddie-Shoot the apple from my head, papa.

I'm not atraid. Slocum- What, Freddie, my brave boy. Go into the house and get your mother's little looking-glass. (Boy runs off). Now then give me rifle.

Bledsoe tossed him the rifle in a contemptuous manner, and Slocum caught and clubbed it, and was about to strike him with it when Vasquez exclaimed: "Cover him, boys. If he attempts to play me false, plump -I must do it. I must. He then went to the table and put cartridge into the rifle. As he did NO Little Freddie brought him the and then ran over and kuelt at his mother's feet.

Then followed the terrible collogny. Bledsoe -He'll kill her sure. Vasquez That's just what I want him to do. you do uot keep quiet I will not shoot. Heaven nerve my arm and direct my aim.

Now I am ready. A8 Frayne uttered these words he placed himself in position to make the shot, with his back to Miss Von Behren. She was not just where he wished her to be, and she moved a little In obedience to a motion from him. There WAS an instant of suspense, timid people heid their breath and some bent their eyes to the floor. Suddenly the crack of the rifle was heard.

Those who were watchIng Fragne saw that there was a flash at the lock of the rite as well as at its muzzle, thongh it was, a very small one. Miss Von Behren's knees bent under her. The apple rolled off her hat unharmed, and she fell on her back on the stage. Just as she did so Frayne turned, and, seeing that he bad hit her, threw away the gun, and, falling on his knees at ber side, wailed in his anguish: "My God! my God! My darling, speak to me." The actors on, the stage stood aghast for moment, not knowing how serious the calamlty was. Then the curtain was rung down.

Mr. Fennessy, the manager, who was in the front of the house, went behind the scenes. and- by his direction Ar. Markham, who had played "Vasquez," went before the cartaip, and after considerable difficulty obtained a hearing, when he said: and gentlemen: It is my painful duty to Inform you that by the unfortunate accident you have just witnessed Miss Vou Betren has been injured, how seriously we do not know at present, and consequently the play can not proceed. Therefore I respectfully dismiss you." Amid great excitement the immense audience left the theater.

HOW THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. The weapon with which the shooting WAS done is a one-barreled, breech-loading rifle, the barrel about three feet long, and carried 28-caliber ball, It worked on a pivot, and was held by a spring. On the stock of the gun was a mirror, which Mr. Frayne used in sighting his back ward shots. The weapon was made in Chicopee, six years ago, for Mrs.

Frayne (Clara Butler) and was made with the utmost care and precision. The tongue of the barrel fitted into a slot, which in turn was retained by a screw. When the, cartridge was struck by the hammer of the gun the explosion threw the screw and spring out into the audience. The barrel dedected enough to do the deadly work, and send the deadiy missile into alias Von Behren's brain. THE SLAYER AND THE VICTIM.

Frank Ivers Fragne. was born In Kentucky -three rears ago. When quite young be came to this city, and began drainatic career at the old National Thenter, under John Bates' management, about 1858. He played small parts with him for a season, aud then went South to New. Orlenns.

There he addanced rapidly In his profession, and for a seasou he was the stock star of traveling compuny that played through the interior of the State. In 1882 he returned to this city, and played at Pike's Opera-house, the National and Wood's Theaters. lie then went West to the mining regions, and, tiring of the slavery of stock companies, turned his attention to marksmanship, and soon became very expert both with the rifie and pistol, He is the futber of the expert-shot style of drama, and, though he has had many imitators, none have excelled him in his specially. He was married to Clara Butler, by whom he has two children, a boy and a girl. Miss Butler was well-known ballad singer before she married Fragne.

Under his tuition she also became quite a famous shot, though once she clipped a joint off one of his fingers making a shot. She died of dropsy In Philadelphia a couple of years ago. Frayne is about five feet ten inches in beight, of stoutish build, and is one of the best-hearted and natured men 1p America. He is extremely mild-mannered and companionable, and his temperament 1s such that this accident will doubtless blight the remainder of his life. AuDa Von Behren was born in New York City twenty-three years ago.

She made her debut with Harry Watkins' company, ave years ago. A little over three years ago she led the company at the Coliseum, under the management of Frits Buchmann, playing there as Miss Von Buren. She only played a portion of the season, as she had to relinquish her engagement on account of She was thin and slender in appearance, with dark hair and eyes. Though young on the stage, she had great aptitude for it, and was in a fair way to attain eminence in it. Mr.

Frayne had purchased a play for her which he bad sent to Cliff Tayleure for emendation, and it was his iptention to star her in it In few months. Her people reside in Brooklyn, New York, and are In comfortable stances. Two dispatches were sent them Inst night informing them of the sad affair. Her remains will probably be sent to them tonight. She and Frayne were lovers, and were to be married very shortly.

THE ARREST OF Sergeant Benninger, of the BremenDistrict, and Officer Megles were in the auditorium of the Coliseum, and witnessed the unfortunate shooting. As 8001 they learned of the dangerous character of the wound they went behind the scenes and found Frayne still Jo his stage trappings, and almost crazed with grief, bending over the body of the dying girl, one minute upbraiding himself for the calamity, and the next calling apon her to speak to him. They suffered him to remain at her side until life was almost extinet. and then took him to his- dressing-room, where he assisted to and dress himself in citizen's clothes. The crowd at the rear of the theater great a carriage was summoned, and few minutes after Ave o'elock he was taken in to the Bremen-street In sponse to the queries of Lieutenant Westendorf he gave his name as Frank I.

Frayne, his age forty-three, and his residence "Echo Deli, Chatham, New. Jersey." A moments after he registered, ver Doud Byron, Mrs. Byron, with Coleman and several members of Fraybe's company, arrived and endeavored to assuage the grief of the unhappy man. He was consolable, and declared that he wanted no bail or lawyer, and that nOW his betrothed wife was dead hands he bad 20 desire to live. God, to think that in a few weeks would have been my wife," he exclaimed, "and pow she's dead, and by my.

hands!" copiously, but his tears seemed to bring wept him no relief, Later, by the advice of friends, tie consented to employ an attornes, and T. Campbell was sent for. Application made through the telephone to Judge Higley to name the bail that would be accepted him; but, though the charge against bim bat manslaughter, the Judge hesitated, first, because he wanted to be sure that there had been no quarrel between parties, and, second, because he wanted know how it was that the gun was disabled. Frayne, on being questioned on this point, said when the gun was thrown to ber made bis usually hasty examination of and, as far as he could see, all was right. The gun had been used by his wife for six years, and was made expressly for its purpose.

BAILED IN THE SUM OF $3,000. Some of Mr. Frayne's friends telephoned Indge Higley and asked him to accept bail. The Judge replted that he knew nothing the case, and he desired to learn first if any lil-feeling existed between Mr. Frayue and Miss Von Behren, and, secondly, how the eldent occurred, He said he would confer with the Coroner and then decide the matter.

Coroner Rendigs, when questioned through the teleplione by His Honor, said in his opinion the shooting was entirely accidental, and he thought $1,000 would be sumcient bail. Tue friends of Mr. Fruyne at once secured the services of Mr. T. C.

Campbell as attorney, and abont seven o'clock Mr. Frayne, Col. Alex. Bands, Mr. A.

Von Martels and an officer drove to Judge Higley's residence, on Mount Auburn, in a back. His Honor told the gentlemen he had concluded to release the prisener on $3,000 bail, which was promptly fur. nished by Hubert Heuck, proprietor Heuck's Opera House. THE CORONER Viewed the remains about seven o'clock last evening, and ordered the body sent to Habig's, to which place it was conveyed at eight o'clock. Even after being washed and dressed the wound in the head presented horrible.

sight, and the blood continued to ooze from the gaping bole. The poor woman must have suffered but little. There were no evidences of pain upon the features, and an expression of peaceful sleep gave relief to the gaze those who saw the enormous bullet-wound. While the preparation for burial was going on the ball, flattened out, fell apon the floor, and will be held for the Coroner's inquest, which will begin at nine o'clock this morning. Cor'oner Rendigs will bave a consultation with Dr.

Querner to determine if a post- mortem examination will be necessary. NOTES. THE backward shot, while apparently the most difficalt of all to make, is in reality the easiest and So the experts say. MR. FRAYNE'S mental condition early this morning was pitiable.

Those who are with him said he falls into a doze for a moment or two and then wakes up, and his moans are heart-rending. THERE is a law of Ohio which makes it an offense punishable with fine and imprisonment for any one to point a gun or pistol at another, whether the weapou be loaded or unloaded. If this law were enforced, such exhibitions as those of Frayne, Dowling and Buffalo Bill could not take place. THE hat worn by Miss Von Behren WAS purchased by her on Wednesday night. Its crown was about four inches high, and as was worn lightly on the top of the head the center of the apple was about six inches above her scalp, and the aim of the weapon was always intended to be above the center of the apple.

MISS VON BEHREN was of a very kind and generous disposition. She constantly assisted those in trouble, and almost her last act was one of charity. On Saturday night she took up a collection for the benefit of the 0'Brien brothers, eireus performers, stranded in this city. She raised between $15 and $16 and presented it to the boys, who will use the money 40 convey them to New York, MISS VON BEHREN is the third victim to expert shooting on the stage who has died of the Injuries. The first was a woman in Michigan under almost similar circumstances; the second was a boy killed by Buffalo Bill in Baltimore by the glancing of a shot from target.

Frayne, while playing at Wood's Theater in this city a few years ago, wounded a man named Clifton in the foot almost as the boy was killed in Baltimore. AMUSEMENTS.
