An INDIGNANT ORCHESTRA CoNpuCTOR.-
When we first became acquainted with Skin
ner he was the leader Of the orchestra ut one
Of the theatres, And while he was acting
in that capacity they got UP some kind of
fairy spectacle, for which Skinner provided
choice music. He was particularly proud OF
an overture arranged by himself. 1t was
copied out by hand, and it happened most
unfortunately that the copies were not finished
in time for rehearsal, and so Skinner had to
take the chances Of the musicians getting it
right on the first attempt in the presence Of
the audience.
A couple Of hours before the theatre opened
Skinner went around and placed the music
upon the stands Of the orchestra. Ten min
utes afterward, when Skinner had gone away,
a friend of his named Brown came in aud
saw the music, and for the sake of playing a
little joke on Skinner he gathered up all that
music, and replaced it with an old lot Of
sheets containing fragmentary music of about
twenty different kinds, which he found in a
closet in the orcheStra-room. After awhile
the audience assembled. Skinner brought in
his musicians, took his place, and whispered
TO the players to exercise exceeding care
Then Skinner gave couple of taps with his
baton, and the orchestra went into action in flu
rious earnest. 1t was awful. There was
most terrific discord, with six or seven
different kinds Of time, twenty varieties of
tunes, and such a jangling, and footing,
and scraping, that all the women in the au-
dience jumped to their feet and screamed.
The first vionist eXerted himself to saw
out passage from "Maltha;" the man
with the flute strained himself until he was
red in the face over an air from "Stabat Ma
ter;" the double-bass man engaged in ftl-
tile effort to interpret the Last Rose Of Sum-
mer;" the clarionet shrieked out the Little
Brown Jug" while the drummer. finding
that he could not play the " Faust march,
hammered away at random. Skinner was
wild with amazement and rage. He looked
cross-eyed for a moment ut the trombone
man, who was attacking "See, the Con-
quering Hero Comes" with intense earn.
estness, and then, throwing down his
baton, he gave one ferocious yell, and lcaped
upon the trombone-lnan with murder in his
eye. They had it out right there in the Or
chest1a, and 1t lasted just five minutes, amid
the cheers Of the audience, until Skinner,
having damned one leg through the drum,
and torn away quarter OF a mile of fiddle
strings with his fist, landed the trombone
man in the body Of the base viol, and smash
ed that sweet instrument into kindling.
wood. They had no overture that evening
and another man had to lead what wss left OF
the band, for Skinner went home. He is
still hunting for the man who changed the
music When he finds Mr.. Brown there will
he still more terrific combat. --Pittsburg

THE GERMAN DEMOCRATS.

Action OF the German Union Democratic
General Committee Last Ntght-Enthu-
sfastic Endorsement OF Greeley and
Brown.
The German Democratic Union General Commit.
tee, Coroner Schirmer presiding, met at the leu.
tonia Assembly Rooms last night, when the Execu-
tive Committee, through Mr.. Goettman, its chair
man, submitted report endorsing the action Of
the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore,
in nominating Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown, the
PresidentaI nominees Of the liberal republicans,
and In endorsing the platform OF the Cincinnati
Convention declaring that they hail with satisfac-
ton the action Of that convention and pledging
that they Will support the ticket TO insure Its cleo
ers, In the interest OF democratic principles, and
for the sake OF local. State and national REFORM of
general progress and Of individual and national
rights to agitate during the campaign for Greeley
and Brown, to insure their election.
These resolutions were passed by an enthusiastic
and unanimous vote, notwithstanding loud and
angry protest by one delegate named Herr Stern,
who in disgust left the hall.
A resolution was also passed declaring that the
present Presidential campaign IS not an agitation
OF one party against another, but rising OF the
people against corruption and usurpatiOn-a
struggle OF patriotism against o corrupt ad-
ministratiOn. 1t was, therefore, further re-
solved TO appoint a committee OF seven to confer
the subject. The committee was composed Of

DANGEROUS sTABBINa AFFAIR.

Arrest OF the Perpetrator-Ante-NIor
Stntcment-The Victim Spirited Away.
On Monday night Philip Hammerer, living at No.
224 West Thrteth street. and Henry Meyer, both
Germans, became involved in quarrel, during
which the latter stabbed his adversary In the abb
domen, right side, INJECTING, 1t Is feared, fatal
wound. Meyer was promptly arrested by the
Twentieth precinct police and committed to the
cells to await an examination by the proper an-
thorites DR.. Moeller, OF West Thirty-nnth street,
who was called to attend Hammerer, foand
him suffering rom stab wound on
the right side OF the abdomen (over the
anterior superior spine Of the neum), the
stab having passed inward, backward and
slightly upward, probably entering the abdo-
men. Although Hammerer was In no imme-
date danger Of death, DR.. Moeler thought IL adj
visabe that his antemortem examination should
be taken. In compliance with the Doctors request
Coroner Keenan, subsequently called at ia West

that the wounded man had been removed to

THE CARSON BRANCH MINT.

We make the following extract
from the annual report of James
Pollock. the United States Director
# the Mint and its branches:
CARSON CIrT.-This branch mint
has been in successful operation dur
Ing the past fiscal year, and the pros
pects for the future are most eucour-
a-lnE.
The deposits during heyear were:
Cold. I,003, ,S09 60; gold coined
--3o. .715; Unparted gold bars, S73l,
20 -: silver deposits and purchases
-, 300 ,6H4 50: silver coined, So
50: impaired and fine bars, ST.
Hj9.6A5 -; total deposits and pur-
cIaees. =. 294 .494 10; total number
Il pieces, l3S, 5+3.
This statement exhibits the graft
triuC fact that the amount in value

lu- lie wear has exceeded that OF the
past wear more than -. 900. 900. The
Superintendent. in his report, ex-
presses full confidence in the future

adequate to the eXigencies of the
Mint, has been provided. and full
authoricy has been given to melt,
assay ana stamp gold and silver bull
ion, and return the same to deposit
ors in impaired bars, bearing the
Government stamp of weight and
iueuess. This has largely increased
lis business, and added to its use
t.-Iuess.
The clerical forceof this branch is
Inadequate, and should be increased.
The salaries OF all the officers and
clerks are too small for that locality,
and l earnestly recommend an in
crease Of salary and clerical force.
The policy of the Government to-
ward this and similar institutions, in
their relation to the development of
the mineral wealth of our country,
should be liberal and generous.
In addition 10 the increase of busi-
ness. from the assayinga and stamping
of impaired gold and silver bars, the
Superintendent in his report says Il
To the increased product of the
mines throughout the State may also
be attributed the enlarged increase of
business Of the past year. The late
rich discoveries of ore at the lowest
levels of the Comstock lode, and the |
constantly increasing product of the
country to the south and east of the
city, have materially aided in adding
to our business; while on the other
hand, reciprocal benefit, both to
producers and to the State, has been
derived by the location of this insti-
tuition near the mining centres, and
the accuracy and promptitude of its
returns"
The suggestions of the report on
other subjects connected with the
prosperity of this branch are worthy
of consideration, and only a want of
power prevents their adoption.
The report is highly encouraging,
and its facts and statements attest
the efficiency of its management.
