Williams told KadcliU that it was a dirty, cowardly trick to pull a revolver on a man in a friendly gams ot cards, whea no one else waa armed. With this Iiadcliff jumped to his feet.

Williams got up and knocked him down, catching him by the throat with one hand, and with the other clubbing the hand that held the revolver, which he had drawn.

Last Saturday a party of men went to the house of Butler Hanks, in Newberry county, where were his wife and six litte children, the eldest being only thirteen, and set fire to the house, compelling the woman to remain until its destruction was certain.

There is great indignation, but, tbouga the names of the inoendiaries are said to be known, no arrests have been made.

The well-known Znla hats are also to be seen, which have been through so many transformations. Now they are smartly bent and trimmed with a colored pongee silk soarf, lightly twisted around the erovraJ I bave also seen some, very light and pretty Inee hatfty both in black and white. The latter are gene rally spoiled, to my mind, by the addition of a huge bunch of very green grass, arranged either at the back or on one side.

ws Debat. Mr. Walter A Mathews, of hi city, who has been for tbe last aix sbobUh under the tuition of Mr. John W. Norton, of at.

lunula, made' hit debut here last alght at tha MasonM Temple Theater be Id re a splendid audience. There were applause and flowers in abundance, and too admirable company WHA which the managers had been ca.eful to surround their star, collectively gave a performance which, la the aggregate, could not be easily matched. Even the smallest part waa capably baadled. Ad the actors, excepting the young tragedian, were expo. rieooed.

and pofcctiy at ease la their raw and, while this state of things was brought shout with the best Intention, it submitted the young actor to tho aereest ordeal over passed by a debutant. Ue could but Seel that tbeir easy stagecraft made hit slightest Imperfection glare, that ha was aoi only being criticised by his audience, buCby his company. It oouid not be ex p. ted that be should gtvo the character tie full dramatM value opoa the first appearance, even without those embarrassments, addsd to tho natural nervousness of aa Initial performance. Under the elreaoMtanoe, it eould acaioely be expected that ha should do more than read tho part Intelligently.

To say that be came out ef te with a leasooahle degree of credit is no slight praise. The lines were intelligently, and, for tho most part, effectively, read, though there waa at times a tendency to hurried declamation that made his attcrancs iodltlnot; and, while his voice was well modulated. It was pitched oa so low a key that the text wa frequently lot to those who sat at the rear ot the house, la tbs 8 ml two sets there was a aervounees and hesitation apparent both la voice and movement, though, the tpoech to tbe Senate was fairly wed delivered. la the next act, the meeting with Dee-demons la Cyprus, be found bis Voice, and this and the hut scene, the death of Desdemona, were the best of his performance. AS the play progressed the uneaal-neas of the novice to some extent wore off, end Into the later scenes he threw a degree ot feeling which showed a tendency tn the right direction, and promised wen for his pertormaoco whea once he Is free from tbe embarrassing 'rnnwrloiiinf i of aa- audience.

The chief defects are a lack of ease, and vigor of movement, and a he ita-Uoa la letting out his voice. It eaa aot be aald that at any time last night he attained to the full statue ot the character. The scenes with logo were especially lacking In force, bat so maeh of this lnsdeqaBcy was clearly attributable to the conditions, that no just estimate of Mr. Mathews' ability eaa he formed from last night's performance. He has a good face for stags purpose a face with strong features and firm lines, that lends Itself easily to the assumption ef different characters.

lie has a straight, slender figure that wOi become graceful as the actor becomes msre familiar wlxh the stage aad snore aeeaa-tetned to the strange drapery that envelopes him. Bis votes seems naturally deep, aad with use and training will acquire the compass neeesvary to varied, and effective ex-presslon. This is all that can be alarmed with certainty, except that the part was gorgeously costumed, shewing an Oriental richness of material and an exquisite blending ef colors. Mr. Xorten's Isgo wss at once acute and vigorous, admirably read and equally fine la the fitting of to sentiment.

Mr. Norton has a face that in mobility and case of expression at well adapted to the part, and hat performance was graceful aad scholarly throughout. In his hands, Isgo became the chief role ef the cant and met' w'th rady response oa tho part uf the autUerce. Mr. Band's Brabsatlo waa strong aad vigorous Mr.
