A shaft on ’he huggv breaking frightened the horse and Mrs. Lipscomb was thrown out. sustaining several bruises. The excitement in the city caused by the parade of the minstrel show was heightened by a horse hitched to a hack suddenly becoming fright ened by the tents of a street show and running. The harness broke and the occupants of the vehicle es caped. No injuries resulted from the escape of the horse. Limestone street was thronged on Friday evening by a crowd that surg ed around a point where interest seemed to be centered. The excite ment was caused bv a horse which had become frightened and contrary to the course usually pursued by most hoises in this state, had flung itself :o tb« ground between the shafts in stead of running away. He was un hitched safelv and no damage was sustained. Voechel and Nolen’s Dandy Dixie Minstrels appeared at the Sta»- Thea tre on Saturday evening. This event had been heralded for some time and great interest was manifested, espec ially among the colored people of the city A good house greeted the per formers on the rise of the curtain. The balcony was taxed to its capacity to accomodate the crowd. The show was a good one. with several feat ures worthy of mention.

A bottle was thrown by one of the negroes, which, however, went wild of the mark .and struck a bystander. They were fined $5.00 each or ten days for the cRy in labor ou the str ets.
