TIE CHORAL UNION IN PROVIDENCE
Words fail to express the perfection of the per-
Torrance of tbe Choral Union, at Providence,
last night, or to describe the welcome given by
the audience. The Union went down with its
best talent-talent such as may well be looked
upon by the society and by the city with pride
and its ranks filed to such an extent as TO rem
der the choruses Of the occasion with full and
nowerful effect The house was crowded, and
the audience was composed of the most critical
and most appreeiative people OF Providence.
The programme opened with Haydn's mass in
G. bringing out the full strength of the Union
the solos being sustained by Miss Mary Stone,
Mrs A. C. Monroe, Messrs. Richards, Cutting
md Thompson. The performance of this grand
~, ass called forth great applause. Prominent
om,7ng the other portions of the programme
mere. Mendelssohn's Farewell to the Forest; the
Angel Trio, from Elijah; the Miserere, from
Vardis Ii Troyatore, in which Miss Childs and
Mr.. Richards appeared; HandePs Hallelujah
chorus; and Wilder's double chorus, the Rock
OF Ages.
Tn lateness of the honr at which the party
arrived in Worcester, about one O'Clock this
morning, prevents extended notice OF indi-
yidual perfo FINANCES, but it is but doing justice
to say that the applause accorded to Miss Mary
Stone, Mrs. Munroe and Mr.. Richards, was most
hearty and well deserved. The trip home was a
nleasant one, and the musical part of the affair
closed with serenade in front of the Spy office
for which the Union will receive the thanks Of
editors, reporters and printers. The special
train which brought the party to this city
otonned at several stations to accommo
date parties who had taken the occa
sion to make trip to Providence The success
of the affair in every way is sufficient vindica
tion of the action of the society in accepting
The invitation of the people of Providence tc
give a second concert SO late in the season, ant
in city that is almost overrun with public en-
.or,o;nments musical and otherwise.

light from Patterson, y. j., approached
tne track OF the New Jersey Central
railroad. There were six men in the
wagon. FIVE asleep inside and the driver,
also asleep, on the box. As the horses
started across the track the locomotive
startled one OF the slumberers in the
rear OF the wagon, who leaped to his
fee, and opening the iron eide in the
door looked out, warning his compan-
ions Of the danger, when the engine
dashed against the wagon and crushed
il 70 atoms. The limbs OF the sleepers

Convention OF Capital Mover.

ST. Louis, April 27.-The National
Executive committee, appointed BY the
National Convention, held in Gncin-

removal Of the National Capital to some
proper place in the Mississippi valley,
announce that it has been determined
not to call another convention of the
friends of the removal of the Capital,
until next year
The reason Of this decision is that it
is deemed best to postpone further public
efforts for its removal until the spportion-
ment of representatives under the re-
cent census, to be made by the present
Congress, shall have given to the CEN
trail and western portions OF the union
that just right in national legislation TO
which that proportion entities them.
The committee announce that they will
continue to use all their influence to
hasten the removal Of the National
Capital. and express the belief that sue
cess will finally crown their efforts.

murder of A. P. Critteuden, remained
ont forty minutes and returned ver-
dict of gully Of murder in the first
degree. The prisoner appeared some,
what paler than usual when taken from
the court room, otherwise she was I'M
moved. 1t may not be improper to say
now that this verdict, until within the
last week, was not generally believed
possible, nearly everybody expecting
the trial to prove perfect farce, and
ending in the acquittal of the prisoner
or the disagreement of the jury. Nine
tenths OF the community regard the
verdict as a just and proper vindication
of the law, and rebuke to the doctrines
put forth by the defense in the case.

Supposed Murder.
At II o'clock last night an officer
saw man fall down the stairway lead
ing to Morrison's building, on Clark
street, between Washington and Madi-
son. Supposing he was drunk, he Sc
cured the services Of picket man and
conveyed the insensible man to the
armory. A wound in the back OF the
head bled profusely, and for the purpose
OF having this dressed physician was
sent for, but before he arrived the man
died On investigation the man
proved to be Edward Confeld, an old
and wealthy lumber dealer, but for some
time residing at Elmria. A woman
who lives in the block testified that at
II o'clock last night she heard men
disputing in the office of DR.. Olin, an
occulist, located at the head of the
stairs, where the body was found
S1e heard a sound as though one OF
the men had been struck and imme.
dately afterwards there was fall.
Mrs. Hugh went into the hall and saw
two men talking together in DR..
O.in's door. One Of them asked the
other If they had taken him away, and
soon after one went away and the other
went into the office and shut the door.
The woman thinks the men were en-
deavoring to induce the deceased to &C.
company them, and failing, they killed
HIM. DR.. Olin was not in his office at
tie time, but it was occupied by
student who has not been found. The
case is very mysterious.
