SmltK at Lum ber ton Some of the Clrcu Men Accused of the Crime Statement " of One of the Manager. &c. Intelligence reached here yesterday that a white man by the name of Benjamin Franklin Smith, a resident of Abbottshurg, was murdered at Lumberton on Thursday night, during a difficulty which occurred on the grounds after the close of the per formance of the Great Easter n Circus, which "exhibited in that place that evening. It seems it was not generally known that any difficulty had occurred until yes terday morning, when the body of the un fortunate man was ; discovered on the s grounds where the exhibition had taken place. From the appearance of the corpse it was evident that deceased had been killed by a blow on the left side of the head, and it is supposed that he was struck with a club, by some of the showmen, . Beyond this we have been unable to gain any definite in formation. We would state, however, that in a conversation with Mr. Ed. Morgan, one of the Managers of the Great Eastern, he informs us that none of the Managers or Directors of the Circus knew anything of the difficulty and they were present during the packing up of the tents, &c. Mr. Mor gan further states that the first intimation he had received of the terrible tragedy was when he arrived at Lumberton yesterday. He saj's that an employee of the circus, who was discharged on Thursday, went to the authorities yesterday and informed them that he could identify the man who did the deed. Mr. Morgan informed them that if this could be done the culprit would be sur rendered and the managers Would lend what assistance they cooldin pushing the investi gation. With the present lights before us, we can form no intelligent opinion in re gard to the matter, and simply-give the ver sions of the sad affair as we have received them. It is to be hoped that the guilty party will be brought to speedy justice through the instrumentality of the authori ties of Robeson, who should leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of their investiga tions. Mr. Smith was about 35 or 30 years old, and was employed as a clerk in the store of Mr. Isaac Smith, his nephew, at Ab bottshurg. The body of the unfortunate man was brought down on the train to Abbottsburg yesterday. It was rumored on the streets yesterday afternoon that an attempt would . be made by the authorities at Luniberton to arrest the whold circus company on their return to that place this evening, in which event there will probably be some serious trouble. We learn that Mr, Nicholas N. Morris, formerly of this city, but now of Abbotts burg, was also struck by seme one at Lum berton on Thursday night, and severely, though not seriously hurt. OPERA HOUSE. Miss Eldrldce. The second performance, given by Miss Eldridge and the ladies and gentlemen supporting her, was much more exacting in its test of their abilities than the first night's performance, and, we are glad to say, gave even more ample evidence of the fine ca pacities of the company. In the selection of the Hunchback, and especially in the ad mirable cast of the play, Manager Parker evinced a very nice and accurate under standing of the varied abilities of the mem bers of his troupe. In a large experience. we have rarely seen this fine comedy more judiciously cast certainly never in a pro vincial theatre. - Miss Eldridge's Julia is a very correct and very agreeable rendering of a charac ter which has won as much admiration and affection as any creation of the modern stage. ' The laborious pen of Knowles achieved a great triumph when it sketched j this lovely portrait of feminine purity and devotion. In all his plays there is no char acter equal to Julia; none contains so much of human nature as men and women reveal it in their daily walk -and conversa tion. The critics of the time declared, when the Hunchback first appeared, that the author, for the first time, had given in Julia a woman of real flesh and blood, and con gratulated him;upbn his abandonment of the extravagant characterizations and stilt ed dialogues of the old .romantic drama. In such a character so thoroughly wo manly ail actress as Miss Eldridge is nec essarily very effective. In all the trying scenes, the ever-shifting showers and' sunshine of Julia's journey to the long-deferred goal of her union With Clifford, Miss Eldridge beau tifully symbolizes the varied traits which make that incomprehensible, ' yet , priceless aggregate woman. In the stronger emo tional passages she was singularly effective, considering the extreme quietness and gentleness of her method, and in the coquetry with which the part of JuUa aboundCshflt frequently attained a very hieh Ditch of dramatic power. Miss El dridge is an admirable - Julia, and we ' are sorry for those who failed to see her in this fine personation,, ' , , . . . . We again have occasion to bestow hearty and emphatic praise upon the company supporting Miss - Eldridge, We seriously doubt whether a more capable and more judiciously-organized dramatic ; corps has visitedTthe South since' the war." Under the withering effects upon the profession of uwBwrsyswm, is n ussiuovu wnuuu t for some years past, it is exceedingly diffl- rnlt trt trocnre material for travelling company adequate tp such a cast of, the Hunchback as that eiven last night. At least six first-class characters are to be pro vided for in this play, and certainly we would hardly desire to see a better Sir TTumas Clifford than that of Mr. Langdon, . a more effective Master yaUer than that of Mr. Higgins, a more captivating Helen than that of Miss Newton, and. more laughable ren ditions of Modus and Fatiiam than those of Messrs. Smith and Ryan. A most commendable feature in the per formances of this company, especially in the case of pMiss Eldridge, is the admirable dressing for tbe stage. Tb-night the last performance of Miss' Eldridge will be given. Herself and com pany will appear in Olive, which is said to be a drama of unusual power and interest. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Meeting to Bear tne Complaints of Tax-Payers The Action - of ' the Board In ths Premtses The Board to Continue in Session Until the Matter Is Disposed Of Other Mat ters Before the Board. The County Commissioners met last night for the consideration of the complaints of tax-payers. The Chairman, S. N. Martin, Esq., and Commissioners J. IL Chadbourn, L. E. Rice and Delaware Nixon were pres ent. The tax-payers of the eight complaining townships presented petitions through their counsel, E. B. Sanders, Esq., praying for a redaction of the assessment of their prop erty. M. London, Esq., appeared for the Commissioners. Several witnesses were called and examined, who testified to the enormous assessment made upon property under their own observation, after which the examination of witnesses was, discon tinued and the following gentlemen were called upon and made statements, express ing their convictions of the unfairness of the assessments of the real estate hv their several townships: Messrs. Thos. Williams, of Holly Township; J. B. McPherson and D. T. Durham, of Rocky Point Township; Jas. Garrison, of Lincoln Township; G. F. Walker, of Columbia Township; J. D. Powers, of Union Township, and H. E. Scott, of Cape Fear Township. It was shown in some instances that where the Township Assessors had increased the valuation of real estate over thai of last year, the County Commissioners had made a further increase of fiftv Tier cent, nnon such township assessment, Commissioner J. IL Chadbourn offered the following resolutions, which were adopted : Whereas, -Complaints are made by the tax-payers residing in the different sections of IMew Hanover, it is Resolved, That this Board continue in ses sion from day to day until said complaints are disposed of, m manner and form as re quired by section 17th of Act of General Assembly, ratined Z8th of July. 1873, Jiesoivea, jurtner, That the Chairman of the Board be and is hereby authorized to employ and fix the compensation of such clerical aid as may be necessary to arrive at a proper and legal adjustment of the whole matter. Elizabeth Gurgainus, of Union Township, was allowed $3 per month from the 1st of October, 1873, being an out door pauper. It was ordered that the township tax for Lincoln Township, when collected, be paid over by the Sheriff to the township clerk of said township, provided said clerk has filed his official bond in accordance with law. The application of Julius Bernard for license to retail liquor was received and or dered granted. The report of the trustees of Union Town ship, relative to the condition of the roads and bridges of that township, was received and ordered placed on file. Jack Stanley, a disabled resident of Har nett Township, was excused from duty on the public roads. The bond of the Constable of Lincoln Township was accepted and ordered placed on file. Gracey Hill, of Rocky Point Township, was allowed the sum of four dollars per month"", being an out door pauper. The Board adjourned to meet.' this morn ing at 10 o'clock. A Sad Cs Last night, about 10 o'clock, an eld col ored woman was found lying on her back at or near the corner of Second and Mar ket streets in an apparently dying condition. The police were r notified and a cart was sent, in which the poor woman was taken to the BtatiaU House. She paid ho 'attention' to questions asked her and ho one was found who could identify her. A basket of chips and a walking stick were found by her side. Her condition was made as com fortable as possible at. police headquarters and this morning, if she has not recovered,. an effort will he made fo discover who she is and where she belongs, provided none of her friends come to look after her. She is apparently about 60 or 70 years Old. Schedule B. Taxes.

The follow ing arrests have been made : Doyle Bryant,' Wiley Evans, colored, and SueTatum and Fannie Biggs (two loose white women) and luck Airmms, Kobert Lmdsey and others. colored, as witnesses. The Gazette . says: The coroner's inquest developed substanti ally the following evidence: That the par ties named above were at Sick Mimms' house the night before; that liquor was sent for and drunk; and that Doyle Bryant and Wiley jvans became engaged in a fight with Chas. Boone, dvring which Boone was struck in tne head two blows with a chair-round, both causing, fracture of the skull, and resulting: in his death.
