A NOVEL ExoITEMENT.-Some ex-
citment was produced last night
about the door of the Trinity M. e.
Church. during the progress of the
concert, by .rumor being whispered
about that scheme had been set on
foot to rob the Merchants National
Bank. 1t appears that son of Mr..
Henry. Schafer is employed as mes
senger of the Merchants Bank, and
carries key to the bank, which he
has been in the habit of leaving, when
he goes out of nights, at his
fathers house. Last night, while
all the family except a servant girl
were absent, two men called at the
house of Mr.. Sch9fer and demanded
the key to the bank, which the girl
delivered up, and they left. Mrs.
Schafer returning home in a few min
utes, learned the fact. and finding the
son, sent him, for DIR. Schefer who
was at the concert, and at once it was
whispered around that two bold bad
men had visited the house of Mr..
Schaler and obtained possession Of
the key.
The police were at once advised of
the terrible conspiracy, and set to
work to eircumvent the robbers.
Upon going to the house of one of the
officers of the bank they ascertained
the fact that he having occasion to
visit the bank, had gone or sent to
Mr.. Schafer's house and obtained the
key. * 2Fat9 4is4l pa
Stealing key to the outer door
of the bank would be Of little. benefit
to the most expert burglars, as it
would take week of uninterrupted
labor to break into the fire proof and
burglar proof vaultssof the bank.
THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.-As
we expected. Trinity NJ. E. Church
was crowded to its utmost capacity
last night, and hundreds unable, or
unwilling to obtain admission, took
curbstone and pavement seats. The
concert itself was one of the most
pleasing and interesting that it has
been our privilege to witness.
All the performances were of a
highly superior character. and some
of them really magnificent, among
these without being invidious. the
following ELECTED much admiration
and considerable applause, though the
! latter was somewhat restrained by a
consideration Of the Sacred character
Of the place.
Fallen is thy Throne a quar-
tette by Mrs. Hollingsworth and Miss
easier, and Messrs. w W. Tileston
and Fred. Bennett The solo " From
the Alps" &C., by Miss Odell; the
solo . All l have Sighed to Rest Ne. :"
by Fred Bennett, and the quartette
Come Holy Spirit" by Mrs. Charley
Tileston, Miss Odell. and Messrs.
/ Charley Tileston and Fred. Bennett.
But the most sublime and beautiful
of all the performances were the
+" Gloria" from Mozart's Twelfth
Mass, by the full choir, the grand or
gan and the Crescent City Silver
Band, aud The Dying Christian"
! by the full choir and organ.
At the close of the Gloria" the
applause was unrestrained, and a
! repetition was demanded. The " by
