MlflH Itonn Herwe n Amlnn.
Bellini's opera of La Sonnambula was tfven last
lint tr the Parcps-Rosa troupe, fort'd8 purpose of
f" Vncina MIhs Hone Hersce to tri6 Philadelphia
nnbllc in the role of "Aralna." We ro sorry to say
that the public were not as mnrjfl intcrosteil In the
occasion as they ought to hc?e been, or as they
would undoubtedly have bjen if the very great
merits of the debutante hart been understood. Miss
Bersoe conies to us entirely unheralded, and all
that was known of net was from the reports of one
or two performances in New York Just previous to
ter comlnn here. These spoke well of her abilities,
but she did not appear often enough to become gnne
rally known or appreciated. Last evening Miss
Hersce won upon the regards of her audience from
the first, and before the fall of the curtain sho estab
lished herself as a popular favorite. Her debut was
decided and brilliant success in every
particular, and it has been long since
the habitues of the Academy of Music have had the
pleasure of welcoming such a promising artist.
Miss Hcrsee Is petit in figure, slight and graceful,
-Willi a bright, open, and intelligent countenance,
and as an actress sho displayed considerable ability.
Her voice Is a pure soprano, clear, sweet, and sym
pathetic. It Is rather light, but sutllclently powerful
to till the Academy without effort, and It has evi
dently been carefully trained In a good school. Her
method is excellent, and throughout the opera she
Bang with admirable feeling and expression, and
proved herself to be a genuine artist who under
stands that dramatic fervor is of quite as much Im
portance as brlllinnt vocalizntlon. Miss Hcrsee sang
with fine expression In the concerted piece In the
second act, and in the rather trying air In the tlilrj
act, and the curtain went down on each act amid a
storm of applnusft. The debutante, was called before
the surtaln three times with much enthusiasm, and
she will undoubtedly hereafter be considered one of
the chief attractions of the troupe. Miss Hcrsee is
still very young, and It is easy to prophesy a brilliant
future for hirU she cultivates assiduously her fine
talents.
Mr. Castle sang and acted In the part of "Elvluo"
well, as he always does but Mr. Laurence, who
Fi.hii.lncd the role, of "Count Rudolph,' did not
nual the expectations we had formed of him from
1 , performance of Monday evening. Mr. Laurence
was verv tame in his iicttmr, and his singing was ab
solutely expressionless. This gentleman hasatlno
voice, "but he will never be a favorite unless lie
makes better use of it than he did last evening. 1 he
pint of "Lisa" was tilled by Miss Fiiiinie Stockton,
whose singing was not remarkable either for correct
in ss or brilliancy. Miss Stockton acted very care
lelv, and the disposition she showed to giggle was
not creditable to an actress of her experience. The
choruses were very well given, and the orchestra,
wider the direction or Mr. Anthony Heiir, was kept
well in hand, and gave an excellent support to the
vtiee.
The t Hy Amusement".
Atthk Acahkmy ok Music llaUo's opera of The
l'uritaa Imwhter will be performed for tlie tlrsl
time in this city, with Madame Rosa in the leading

AT THE CHBSNIT Our American Cutcim continues
to be the attraction. This very amusing comedy is
admirably acted bv Miss Keene and Her company,

diences that nightly till the most beautiful theatre iu
the city.
At the WAi.NTTMr. Booth will appeirthls even
in g lis "I ago," in hhakespeare's tragedy of Othello.

proach him in It.

and on Saturday evening lliehard III.

CITY 1 HI T E L t UIlOL.
THE W1IISKY.RIM ASSASSIN'S.
Arret of the Ien who Attempted to A-tsasil.
nnte Kewnue Detective Itrooks-Ilow ilicy
were United.
Tlie N. V. Times of this morning prints the follow
ing: The men who attempted the assassination of
James J. Brooks, the United States revenue oitlm-r,
iu Philadelphia, on the (Stli of September last, au i
who were alleged to have been hired for that pur
pose by a "whisky ring," to which Brooks ha I made
liimnelf obnoxious, have just been arrested in tula
city under somewhat peculiar circumstances.
Friday last Detective Scott was informed that four
men had been for some time at the Oceau House,
Coney Island, acting iu a suspicious manner, aud he
took this information to Inspector Walling, at tlie
Central Police Office, who sent a person down to gel
a description of the suspected men. When this was
compared with that of the Brooks assailants, wbloh
liad been received by Superintendent Kennedy by
the proclamation of Mayor Fox, it was seen that they
were probably the persons wauted In that affair. In
spector Walling therefore put a watch upon them,
and It was intended to arrest them Saturday on Conev
Island, but early in the morning they began leaviug
for this city, and before night were all safely lodged
in a house in the lower part of the Fifteenth ward,
which was discovered by the otllcers following the
last one. The house was not entered, beeauso it
was desired to take them all at once, and a watch
was therefore maintained outside until about o
o'clock Sunday night, when, during the great storm,
thev all came out for a stroll, and were followed
until they reached the corner of Bleeckerautl Mer
cer streets, where they were seized by Inspector
Walling, and Olllcers Scott, Wilkinson, and
, Murrav, of the Twenty-sixth precinct, and
hurried to a statlon-houso, where they gave their
name as Edward McLaughlin, Hugh Mara,
James Dougherty, and 1'eter Donoliue, alias
Jiotiles. As a "blind" to throw off" inquiry, and pre
vent a rescue Try habeas corpus, It was given out
that they had been taked for the bank burglary at
Norwich, and were hurried away to cells in different
station-lruses. But, owing to personal description
and to a word he let fall, McLaughlin was taken to
the Central Police Olllce, where in a little time he
consented to go to Philadelphia without waiting for
legal rendition, and he accordingly lert on the mid
night train In charge of Detective Scott. As we
have been informed, hn there on Monday was fully
identified by Mr. Brooks, and finally confessed him
self as the man who drove the hack which con
veyed the assassin to and from the scene of the at
tempted murder at the comer of Front and Arch
Streets.
The Philadelphia authorities were Informed of the
arrests at once, and bestirred themselves with such
vigor that during Monday a requisition for the cul
prits was obtained upon uu Indictment, and this
decunieut would have reached here early yesterday
morning, but for the freshet. Being delayed, Super
intendent Kennedy and Inspector Walling were kept
considerably excited by the fear that tliu prisoners
would be snatched away by habeas corpus. The
fact of the arrest did leak out, in some way, and the
writ was issued yesterday in their behalf; but
owing to the singular skill of Superintendent Ken
nedy, service was not uiudo upon him, the per
son having It did not tliuiK to serve It upon
Inspector walling, which would have answered
i. amiie miniose. and so it came to naught. Mean.
im a. Plilladelnhiaolllcer arrived wholiad seen both
i,wii,-ttiieiit and requisition, and Inspector Walliin?
determined at a late hour last night, to take the pri
soners before Justice Ledwith, of the Jefferson
Market Police Court, aud have the Philadelphia
officers make a complaint against them,
unon which a commitment could be Issued
that would ' serve to Hank tho writ of
habeas corpus until the warrant for their rendition
ftnuid be signed by Governor Hoffman. This move
being successful, the prisoners will leave this moru
in. f,,r Philadelphia to be tried for their offense,
This has proved to be shooting with intent to kill, as
liannlly Mr. Brooks, notwithstanding the ball passed
hr,!.,h hia Iiiul's. is ranldlv recovering, and on Mon
day was in attendance at the olllce of Mayor Fox to
identify McLaughlin, tne iim-Mimii.

At II o'clock religious exercises were resumed by
appointment. Lev. J. II. Castle, 1). 1)., delivered
Hie doctrinal sermon on "The Person or Christ,"
from the text, Ma't, 1ft: 1H ::
"When Jesus.eame Into he coasts of Ccsarea Phi
lippl, He asked Ills di-clpies crying. Who do men
eavtl.ut I, the Son of Mini, am? And they said,
Some say that Thou art John the Baptist, some Elias,
and others Jeremias or one of the Prophets'. He
saith unto them, Hut who say ye that I am? Aud
Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,
tlie son ol the Living God."
The reverend gentleman, considered the subject
under the following heads:
1. Is Jesus Christ a man ?
2. Is lie more than a man 1
3. if so. how much more tlinn a man ?
4. And if both human aud Hivine, to what extent
can we comprehend the union?
fi. Finally, what Is the vlue of the true Ssrlptural
doctrine of the person of Christ?
In conclusion, he stated the four factors neces
sary to the complete conception of Christ's person
are: t. True and proper J K'ity. 2. True and proper
humanity. 3. The union of Deity and humanity In
one person. 4. The distinction of Deity from
humniiity in the one person, so that there bo no
mixture of natures.

HORRIBLE IHJTCnERY.
A Chlnnmsiii Murders Ills Wife and a rionrdcr
nt Hln House, and Then Commits Hulclde
Mrkrnlng Details.
from the A. Y. Herald of thi morning.
One of the most cold-blooded murders and suicide
tnnt. has taken place In this city for a long time, re
sulting In tho almost instantaneous death of three
persons, occurred at No. 67 Cherry street last nlgut.
The tacts which could be gathered at a lute hour
Inst night were as follows:
On the third floor, in the rear of the above premi
ses, resided Henry Acong, his wife Hnrali Ann,
Charles Arcboe, and a young man, about seventeen
years of site, mimed Ueorge Arguny, the latter ot
whom only remains to throw any light upon this
horrid butchery. About half-past Id Acong and
his wife, in company with the boy, wero In the sitting-room,
tho wife asleep on the sofa, the man
Arcboe being in his bedroom adjoining the hall.
Acong suddenly sprung up aud proceeded to the
hull bedroom, and began a conversation with
Archoe In relation to money matters; shortly after
whlclitlieyoungnianstat.es he heard Charley cry
ing murder, und rushing to the door saw Acong
plunging a large dagger into the body of Charley,
who was still lying ou tho bed with his clothes
on. lie Immediately ran for the stairs, shouting
"Murder"' at the top of his voice, and was pursued
part way down, but stumbling, he rolled to the bot
tom, and Acong returned to the sitting-room. The
boy, as s.oon as able, gained the street, and secured
the services of Olllcor liurns, of the Fourth precinct,
who entered the house, and was horrilied at behold
ing Acong's wife lying at the foot of the stairs dea l,
l'rocceillng up the slairs to the sitting-room he disco
vered Acong lying iu a bed in a room adjoining the sitting-room,
plunging u large knife into his breast and
side, ami groaning Iu most agonizing tones. Seizing
the arm of the murderer and suicide, he wrenched
Hie weapon from his hands. By this time o.llcers
Nash and others, of the Fourth precinct, came to his
assistance; but the unfortunate man lived but about
twenty minutes, when he breathed his last. Cpon
examining the bodies they were found to be muti
lated and butchered in a horrible manner, the man
Archoe having nine stab wounds on him three on
the breast, three on the left Bide, and three on the
lelt arm, besides a slight cut across the throat.
Acong's wife was stabbed In several places about the
breitst and stomach, the entrails protruding from the
latter wounds Acong himself was stabbed several
times In Hie breast, bowels, and side.
It Is presumed that after stabbing the man in the
room he returned to his room, where his wife lay,
sleeping on the sofa, and plunged the dagger into
her. as the wall and sofa near bv wero besmeared
with Hood, and In hei struggle to free herself had
riacl.td as far ns the top oi the stairs, and either lull
down from the Iofs of blood or was pushed down by
her husband. Her place was, previous to the bloody
transaction, scrupulously neat and clean; but last
input tne scene presented upon entering was sica
cnmir, the entire place being besmeared with blood
Acong is a sailor, and returned from a five months'
voyage about a week ago, since which tune, the boy
Arguny states, helms been acting "funny," hiUKhlnir
to himself all the while. No motive can be assigned
for the cilme, as both he, his wire, and Archoe
have been on friendly terms. The Instrument with
wun which tne moony deed was commuted was a
tilt k knife having a blade about six inches long, with
an ivory handle, und is now in possession of Captain
Aiiaire at tne I'ourin .rreeiuct station House, co.
roner Flynn has been notllled, aud will hold an In
quest at ten o'clock this mornlne.
'li.e uu.v Arudi.y bus oeen locked un in tho Fourth
precinct station house to appear as a witness before
me coroner s jury.
1 he parties are all In the prime of life, nonn of
them being over thirty-five years of age. Acong
leaves one child, a boy about four years ol age, who
was taKcil care oi d.v the ponce.
THE NEW Y)UK .HONK V lUAUKKT.
The following extracts snow the state of tlio New
York money market yesterday:
Ft 'in. the Herald.
"The gold matket showed something of Its old
tire, and the premium fluctuated quite briskly.
1 rom the opening price of Vi there was a sharp
advance to 1:10 '., , with a reaction late in the day, aud
sul sequent to the Oovernmeut sale, to WJi. The
early advance was based upon the Spanish
Cuban news. At the Government sale
the merchants were large buyers. The
.peculuuve leeliiig for a decline which
lollowed the restoration of quiet to the gold market
is evinced lu the active borrowing demand for cash
gold. Lenders allowed from seven to live per cunt,
on the currency collaterals lor their gold lu tliu
greater number of transactions, but in many in
stances got the currency without interest or fUt.
The block in the exports strengthens the feeling in
luvor ol higher uolil, especially us the demand to
cover 'slum' sales of exchange is also quite active.
"The drift of the money market was to still greater
ease, una lenders, ruiner tlinn let their balances go
unemployed over niKht, were satisfied with as low
lis five per cent on call, at which rate money wa-i to
bo hud in good sums before three o'clock. The great
IiUIk of business, However, was at six to seven iwr
cent. The prevailing abundance of funds is due to
several causes. The great shrinkage in values at
the btock Exchange has primarily lessened the ile
um rid. It requires a (treat deal less mouev to carrv
stocks now than It did a month ago. Attain.
the demand from the West is comnaratlvelv liirht.
The shipments of currency have commenced, but
the amounts sent are small. The decline lu gold
has checked the movement of tho croos. The
fanners have in their minds the old prices, and
tire loth to sell; hence the retention of irrain
which, with a higher premium on irold. would lind
Its way to the seaboard, while currency would llnd
Its way to the West. It is curious to SDeculate
whut will be the eventual result, of this stutn of
affairs. Tho more cynical financiers suircest that
Mr. lloutwell, who is so full of exDediuuts for
encouraging the business of the country, should
iuiu uooui, mm uuy koiu, wun a view to letting out
becrojis. 1'erhaps a was an apprcheniioii uui uu
vould 1 e compelled to change his policy that gave
lie gold market its liriner tone to-dav. The lower
rate for money Is bogluiiing to bo felt in the market
fi r commercial paper, where a better Inquiry was
reported to-day. Hates also show a diminution, aud
prune notes were quoted ut. from nine to twelve per
cent, discount. A large importing house iu Fine
street is reported to have failed to-day.
"Foreign exchange was again steady and active
under a large demand for bills. It should be remem
ticitd that in ihe lute gold 'corner' there was a very
:rce Mile of bills on 'short' account, which, like tho
overselling of the stock market, is reacting auralust
the sellers. Many of these sales have beeu covered
.iihin liie Ito-t lew days, wtulo tho reduced Hue ol
xiKirts curtails the supply ol bills. I he late gold
