THEATRICAL TROUBLE. Alexander Henderson, a Manager, ws. Geo. BL Butler, a CritieProccodings at the Jefe ferson Market Police Court. Monday morning, about eleven o’clock, after the major portion of the business at the Jefferson Market Police Court—consisting of the disposition of a score or more of incorrigible bummers, who are noted for bleared eyes, broken noses and scratched faces—-had been disposed of by Justice Ledwith, and while the magistrate was jooking around, congratulating him- self, possibly, that the dirty crew that had just left his presence were out of sight, the door swang open and two men walked up to the bar, with an air that denoted that one at least was familiar with the surroundings of @ courtroom. They were of different sizes—great disparity in this respect ex- isting. The latter of the two was of the now fasbionable blonde color, wearing an elongated moustache, and was elongated in person; over his left Optic was a conspenous green colored bandage that completely covered that organ. His companion ‘was of the pale intellectual cast of countenance, and he carried a bundle of papers in each hand, It was soon ascertained that these Individuals were one Alexander Henderson and his lawyer, Mr. John D. Townsend. ‘When accosted by the Justice, the latter of these informed the magistrate that his client, Mr. Henderson, had suffered from a@ gross assault by one George H. Butler; had been cruelly abused, and he desired a warrant for his arrest, In fuller explanation of the i pecerhe he gohnalstea in his client’s behalf the foliowing affidavit:— City and Onunty of New York, a.—Alexander Honderson, being duly sworn, says that he fs at present residing at the Bt.

H. Butler. This done, Mr. Townsend unfolded another vol- boo roll of legal paper, and further assured the justice that it was an aMdavit for apy suit against the fame person; they desired his prosecution crimi- ally in the matter rather than to sne the Journal he Feprecented for dam: ages.

Butler was placed in the hands of Sergeant icDermott, of the court squad, who detailed officer craft to serve it, Tt was done. ‘Yesterday morning, about the same time that the above complaints were made on Monday, Mr. Butler, accompanied by his lawyer, Mr. J. K. Herbert, en- tered the ben room, and soon thereafter Hender- son—with eye itll enclosed—and his coun- sellor came in, and seated themselves oppo- site to them on the rough seats. They were not detained long. Ip a few minutes Justice Led- with was at lejsure, and tnforming the officer who usually makes such’ announcements that he “was ready to attena to general business,” it was loudly tl article entitied repeated by him, and the parties above referred to stepped up within the iron railing, when the follow- iny urred:— ir. Herbert, counsel for Butier—Your Honor, we waive an examination in the matter of the complaint against us and will at once abe bail. Justice— Both complaints Mr. Herbert—We did know of but one, having only been served with notice in the case of the al- leged assault. Justice—There is a case of libel. Mr. Townsend, counsel for Henderson —It is a case Of prosecution criminaily. ir. Herbert (amiling)—Certainly, sir, we will give bail in bot hoa Mr. Townsend—Well, your Honor, I should like to speak In felation tothe amount of bail. Here is a person, twice the size of my client; he seeks him when enti ly Gione amd assaults him tn the grossest Manner. ‘There was no justification. So goon as Mr. Henderson gave notice that he would take action against a paper that has libelled him he is sought by this person and tly abused, He has threat- ened his life.or to drive him out of the city, and we would like to have him put under bonds to keep the ACL, Poin. Herbert (quietly)—We are entirely indifferent about the amount of bail, your Honor. Justice—Oh, [shall send the whole matter to the Grand Jury, and that Mr. Butler may answer there, will Ox the amount of bail three hundred dollars In the matter of the alteged asgauit and one thousand dollars in the libel case. Mr. Townsend—We would like him to be put under bonds for his good behavior. Justice—Oh, I can’t do that. ‘The scene then shifted, Mr. Townsend and his cil- ent leaving the court room and Mr. Henry D. lelter, of No. 600 Broadway, becoming Mr. Butler's bonds- man ip both cases, when they, too, départed. Thus ended the tirat chapter of what may prove, before 1t8 conclusion, & story of much interest. COKVICTION GF A MURDERESS. Sentonced to Prison for Life. (Warsaw, Ind.

For months in advance of the spring parade the children fn attendance at the Protestant Sunday schools are furnished with ample subjects for the oc- cupation of their innocent conversation in specu- lating asto how they will best appear and enjoy themselves at the anniversary parade, In the vari- ous churches the classes begin to pay more attention to the instructions imparted by the teachers as the season approaches for the display, which is intended to set off the strength and prosperity of the various corps of little ones of the Sunday schoo! army. Hence it is that the teachers redouble their energies in giving the iessons to their scholars, and the latter vie with each other in mastering the knowledge which will best show to advantage in the eyes of the community and display the superiority of the school to which they belong. Hymus are rehearsed, recitations are committed to memory and evolutioha in marching are gone through with, in order to per - fect the schools for the annual ovation. Yesterday being the fortieth retarn of the anni- vergary in question, and each year witnessing, as it does, an increase in the javenile population of Brook- lyn, it is not to be wondered that it was a day long to be remembered ny the 25,000 children who partici- pated in the ceremonies. For some years past the parade has taken place in the month of May, and it has most frequently happened that the weather was unfavorable, and thus the joy of the enthusiastic participants has been somewhat marred. But this occasion was one of sunshine and brightness, and the thousands of happy little bright faced boys and girls, who, attired with pretty white, red, blue and almost every other color of the rainbow besicies, tipped through the streets of the City of Churches all day yesterday, lent a pleasing eifect io the sur- roundings of nature. The programme of arrangements, previously cir- culated for the instruction of the marshai’s assist- ants and imparted to the scholars, set forth that should the day prove favorable the sigpal would be - by the ringing of the fire alarin bell at the ty Hall at eleven o’clock. Consequently many eare were strained to catch the first sound of the tocsin which announced the fate of the expectants of the day. This was duly given. Then might the mothers and sisters, who, themselves, long years be- fore had, perhaps, mduiged ia the same anxious doubts and ho} upon this self-same subject, be seen hurrying bither and thither churchwards, there to assist in the arrangements for the display of their young reiatives, At twoo'’clock the achools, mis- sions, &c., repaired to the churches assigned them in season to commence the exercises, which latter consisted of tie following orde rst—Singing. Second—Reading of the Scriptures. Third—Singing. Fourth— er. Fifth—Simyging. Sixth—Address, Seventh—Singing. Eighth—Kenvediction. This po: tion of the ceremony was all gone through with pane ol when the sections ere the dif- erent divisions were iy 10 their proper place in line ‘ty ing marshals Sia. WESTERN DIVISION.

THE CONCLUSION, Each detail as laid down in the order of observ- ances was as closely adhered to as circumstances would admitof by the several sections, schools and divisions. ‘The marching and countermarching of divisions over the routes, which were constderately made short, had a very fine effect, and the manner in which the children stepped ont to the cheerful strains of the brass bands which headed the column, under the leadership of school standards and ban- ners, Wa? most cheerful in effect. White and blue were the prevailing hucs worn by the gifla, The sidewalks and doorsteps on every hand were crowded by spectators, Who were profuse in the ex- pression of their admiration for the scene. The city colors were displayed from the Hall, and many pri- vate buildings greeted the jubilant juveniles on their march, At the conclusion of the parade threy re- paired to thetr churches, and there partook of a most plentitul repast of sweetmeats, such as went far towards tmakimg full the measure of the nappy day thus celebrated by a large portion of the rising generation of Breokiyn. A TRAGEDY IN WILUIAMSBURG. Fatal Result of a Domestic @ Brother-in-Law Assaults Avother ig Shot-Ante-Mortem Statements. An exciting tragedy was enacted in Williamsburg yesterday afternoon at the residence of a high!y re- spected family in South Fifth street, the origin of which was domestic trouble and the termmation death, The men engaged in the sad atfair were Jevemiah Strickland and Isaac §. Waters, and it took place at the latter’s residence, No, 41 South Fifth street, about hall-past twelve o’clock in the. afternoon, es At the hour named three distinct reports of a pis- tol were heard in the neighborhood, and before the cause was ascertained @ young man, deathly pale aud agitated, entered the street and inguired for a policeman. Officer Adamson being in the neigh- borhood was pointed out to bim, and caliing to the officer he said, “I bave shot Jerry Strick- land, my brother-in-law, and wish to give myself up.’. The speaker was [saac S. Waters, ® young married wan Of good connections and fair ¢, who has been for many years in the ploy of S. Tattle & Sons as clerk. The officer, knowing him well, thought for a moment that he W:8 perpetrating a joke, but an§excited crowd soon gathering in front of Waters’ residence, and the issuance of screams therefrom, led him to a realiza- tion of the state of affairs within, and, having se- cured his prisoner, the officer entered, THE SCEN) OF THE (RAG: DY AND THB View. This was on the third story of the house men- toned. The victim was lying upon his back on the landing and pools of blood were streaming from his breast. ase appeared to be partially intoxicated, and talked wildly about his assailant, uttering imprecations against him. Drs. North, Creamer and others were promptly cajied in, and found two bullet wounds tn the left breast of Strickland, contiguous to the heart, and they immediately pronounced the wounds fatal, but gave such attention to the unfortunate man as hits case demanded. STATEMENT OF WATERS. On being visited in his cel! at the Fourth street station house Waters spoke unreservedly of the oc- currence. He said that he was cating his dinner when Strickland called at his residence for the purpose of havin an Inter- view with Mrs. Strickland (Waterg’ sister), who has been making her brother's abode a place of refuge to avold the inhuman treatment of her husband since the first of May. He did not ob- ject to the interview, although he dreaded it, fearing that Strickland would on this as on former occasions, abuse his sister, to whom he is warmly attached. And his fears were well founded, for Strickland im- mediately commenced to threaten and tnsult his wife, and Waters took up her quarrel, calling Strick- Jand an unworthy husband, &c. After an angry conversation between the brothers-ln-law Strick. land went down stairs, first telling Waters that if he would go into the street he would strike him for what he aad. On going out Strickland left the front door ajar, and Waters went down to stutit, his wife end sister fearing to doso. Hehad no sooner reached the door than Strickland made a rush toward him and he ran up stairs again, Strickland pee On reaching his apartments Waters was overtaken by Strickiand and assaulted by him. While the men were straggling together Waters’ wife, thinking that her husband's life was in danger, handed him a loaded revolver, Thus armed he told his assailant that if he did not desist from his attack he would be compelled to shoot him, This warning was unteeded and the fatal shots were fred, two bullets lodging in the left breast, near the heart. ‘The third shot was au accl- dental one and did not go near the wounded man. ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT OF THE DYING MAN. I, Jeremiah Strickiand, Ormly believing that | am about to die, voluntarily e that T received my wounde from Isaac 8. Wate! came here to see my wife and child. Everything passed quietly until Mr. Waters bad finisned his dinner. Waters then in sulted me, I then said, “If you come down the street and repeat the same words I will strike you.” A age by the Coroner—What were the words w ? Answer—Waters called me “a drunken, lazy Dr.” Waters was here brought into the room, and Strickland identified him as the man who shot hit ce. Upon this testimony the Jury rendered a verdict that Strickland came to his Wounds by pistol shots pened by Isaac S. Waters, on the Ist day of June, 180 ‘The prisoner was thereupon remanded to the cus- tody of Captain Wogiom, MANIFESTATIONS OF SYMPATHY FOR THE PRISONER. The neighbors and friends of Walters expross sym- pathy with him, and denounce Strickland in an Measured terms. The latter, a strong a, weight, has been in the habit of ul using and degrading his wife for the past two years. She ig said to be an estimable lady and deserving of a better fate. He married her after his return from the war, and it is said that he did it to aggravate a young lady who had abandoned him for another during his absence in the feld. Whether this be so or not, lis treatment of her warrants a belief in ite truth, Waters is a slight built young man of tree a, and about the last man inthe worid that one would expect to commit such a dreadful deed. While expressing sincere regret for what he claims be was compelied to do in seif defence, he says that be will not shrink from tellipg the whole trath tp relation ea STRICKLAND'S CONDITION, The wounded man suffered greatly during the afternoon, and late in the evening he became uncon- setons. e sit ns attending him look for his death during the night.
