LOCAL AFFAIRS.

The Germania.-The concert last night at
Carusi's Saloon, was, as every one expected,
attended by large and intelligent audience.
1t is hardly necessary to say in Washington
that the performances of the Germania are
first rate, as that, in the opinion of every
good musician, unprecedented by acquain-
tances from abroad, who are disposed to run
down anything likely to generate O taste
for pure music is ''fxed fact There is
no humbug about the Germana, for the
music they perform is the music as written.
In most Of the concerts now a-days. the
intentions Of the composers are entirely
hidden by the performers under the splur-
ges and splashes they make to induce the
audience to believe that they ere '.some
punkins," and the fact is, that the credit
due to the composer Is too often stolen to
compliment the balderdash of the performer.
Such is not the case with the Gcrmania.
They display the idea of tue composer, and
by performing only what he requires of
themselves the credit to which they are
Justly entitled. We shall not designate any
piece as best; there can be no distinction
made, as in every particular the music was
Performed.
Aferd Jaeli is a fine performer, and the
specimen he gave last night of his skill as
pianist, was highly creditable and greatly
applauded. The instrument used is one of
the best of it's kinda square piano; but
for Saloon of the size in which the concert
was given, an instrument Of another sort
would answer best.
The little Camille performed her part with
perfect ease, delightiug the entire audience
We differ III opinion of 'youthJM prodigies'
from most persons and as we do not wish
to stir up the wrath of the supper ten," we
shall not express it at present. Our epin-
ion of this little girl is, that she is a novelty
and a wonder, because of her sex; though
her performance upon the violin would
certainly do credit to many persons who
attempt more and dc less.
The Germapia will perform in Baltimore
one or two nights, and then continue their
tour through the country Our best wishes
are with them.

Another Railroad Accident.

New York, May 10.
The emigrant train and New York express
train from Dunkirk, came in collision last even
ing on the Ramapo branch of the Erie Railroad.
Four brakesmen were seriously injured, but
none of the passengers were hurt. The locomo-
tive and baggage cars were smashed 1t is re-
ported that the emigrant train left the depot at
Jersey City an hour and half before the
time.
The accident on the Erie Railroad was caused
bv the issuing of a new timetable, furnishing
only one conductor with it. The collision is de-
soribed as most frightful The engines were
completely demolished. One passenger car was
driven half through another. Farrell o. Garri-
son. brakesman on the express train, had his
left leg cut off and the other dfully crushed
he will die. James H. Van Vlert, brakesman
on the Patterson train, had his thigh broken,
and was otherwise crushed his recovery is
doubtful. Henry j. Griffi n, brakesman on the
emigrant train, had his right leg broken. j.
w. Orsad baggage master on the Erie express
train, was badly hurt A passenger unknown
had his leg broken. Many others terribly
cut and bruised by being thrown among the
wreck.
A great Indignation meeting was held in Nor
walk yesterday in regard to the recent accident
on the Railroad. memorial to the Legislature
was adopted, calling for prompt action in order
10 secure the safety of passengers.
