The Black Tigers.
A friend has handed us a copy of the
Norfolk News, of date Sept. 29th. 1834,
containing a report ot the escape ut the
two black tigers from Robinson's Cir
cus, it will be read with interest at
this time, in connecting with the shoot
ing of one of the animals on Black
Rjver:
f Yesterday morning two black tigers
succeeded in escaping from their cage
on the cars that brought Robinson's
circus to Portsmouth. They immediate
ly proceeded to kill two goats, and after
a hearty meal, departed for parts un
known. The animals were of a rare
species, cost $2 000, and had been with
the circus only a little over a fortnight.
As soon as the escape was made
known men and dogs started in pur
suit, but np to 2 p.m. the search bad
been unavailing. They rarely at-
tack man unless in self defense
or from intense hanger, but ail

Mian Carrie Swain. J
This talented soubrette with a superb
SThfTTj"
written expressly for her by Mr. Fred
G. Maeder. in which she assumes the
title role, and she look the house by
storm. It was a stormy night, yet
there was a fair audience. It ought to
been have larger and undoubtedly would
baye been, but for the inclemency of
the weather. Miss Swain sang, danced
and cut np all sorts of didos in the
most inimitable manner, which kept
the audience in roars ot laughter
"Every movement t cerued natural and
easy.; nothing strained, but all was
brimming over with the very best of
fun. The support was first rate and
we hope that they may come again,
when we bespeak for them a crowded
house. Miss Swain's acting last night
was equal to the best efforts of Lotta,
in her palmiest days.
The Counterfeiters.
Ben Allen, colored, who was arrested
on Saturday last by officer Carr for be
ing engaged in the manufacture f
counterfeit coin, was brought before U.
S. Commissioner T. M. Gardner this
morning for a preliminary examina
tion. District Attorney W. S. OB.
Robinson was present and conducted
the casa for the government. Only one
witness was examined,' the testimony
being substantially as heretofore given
when the Attorney thought it useless to
occupy the time and attention of the
conrt further in the matter at
present, and the accused was
required to give bonds in
the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at
the next term ot the U. S. District
Court, in default of which he was com
mitted, ' The trial of Louisa Allen,
also colored, who was arrested at the
same time and place with Ben. upon
the same charge, will be held at 10
o'clock a. m. to-morrow, at which
time U S. District Attorney Robinson
will appear for the government and Mr.
Marsden Bellamy will appear for the
defense.
Audit and Finance.
The Board of Audit and Finance met
in regular session last night. Present,
it. J. Jone3, chairman, and Messrs O.
A. Wiggins and W. R. Kenan.
After acting upon several bills the
following communications, which had
been received from the Board of Alder
men, were acted upon :
Ilesolved, That the sum of $45 be ap
propriated to reimburse Dr. Potter for
medicines furnished the poor of the
city.
Disappioved on the ground that the
care of the poor is not committed to the
city by law. v
Resolved, -That the disposition ot the
horses of the Little Giant Engine Com
pany be referred to the committee on
Fire Department, with power to act."
Approved, providing the action of the
committee docs not enlad any expense
upon the city.
Ilesolved, That the horse be provided
for the use of the Hook and Ladder
Company.
Disallowed, on the ground that the
average ot appropriations for the Fire
Department, in th current fiscal year,
is overdrawn ; also, the collections for
the nine months ended Dec. 31st, 1884,
of the present fiscal year, aro nearly
$9 000 short of the corresponding peri
od of last year. The Board, however,
recognize the necessity of having an
other horse for the company and think
that it should be provided for in the ap
propriation for the ensuing fiscal year,
whic' will be made in March.
In the matter relating to fixing ''Ja
cob's Spring" and. the sewer leading
therefrom to the river, the Board de
clined to act until the cost could be
ascertained, but, would approve of an
e,pcadi,are of $100 for the procuring

afternoon on Water street, the occa
sion being a foot race between Mr. W.

It was a lively time and the contestants
patted brick in a decidedly allegro
movement. The race was won by Mr.
Harriss.
