1t was our good fortune to attend
the fourth, and last rendering Of the
beautiful AMI impressive cantata OF
Belshazzar by the Philharmonic OF
Green Bay. Lack of space prevents
the extended motto we would like to
make. Oar inclinati0ns rather are to
say very much in praise Of the Society
and of individual members, nearly all
Of whom acquitted themselves nobly,
yea, graadly. evincing perfect CON
ception Of the great cantata as a mas

torical fact wherein is revealed the
hand Of God, as well as of individual
character in the great tragedy that
wrought such grand deliverance for the
chosen people Of Jehovah.

The Denouement Of the Tragedy Seemingly Hear
ct Hand-witnesses Who Are Expected to
Clear Up the Mystery To Be Examined
in Secret Session by the Coroner's
Jury-Their Lives Threatened

HUNTINGTON, L. l., Sept. 21, 1873.
There Is the strongest reason to believe that the
present week will develop some startling revela-
tions In connection with the Kelsey outrage, ana
unless l am greatly misinformed, the tragic mys-
terry will be solved and the principal conspirators
exposed and arrested. One week ago yester.
day, In my letter to the HERALD,
stated that the authorities were on the
trail OF the guilty parties, and that mere thread
OF new evidence had been picked up ten miles from
here, which was to be scrutinously followed. and
was expected to lead to the discovery Of proof con-
cerning the disposition made OF another portion OF
kelsey's body. That faint clew, which was, in
fact given to the authorities by your corre-
spondent, has, l believe, been followed and Q
successful result reached tonight. I had con-
versation with Coroner Bayis, at Cold Spring, and
ne informed me that there would be a secret
session OF the inquest at oyster Bay on Wednesday
morning. The evidence to be taken In private IL,
believe. OF but two witnesses. When spoke OF
the circumstances which seemed to necessitate
this form OF procedure the Coroner said to me-
"What course can we follow until we have got
this evidencef The parties have already had their
lives and property threatened, and must protect
them as far as possible. When we have their
sworn testimony down l shall then have ground
on which to proceed and stop those threats. I
want to make the way as easy as possible for tho
witnesses who voluntarily come forward to clear
up this matter"
Aiterward he informed me that, should the cir
cumstances justify it, he would at once give the
official report OF the testimony taken in secret ses-
sion to the press, "although," he added, "y0u will
likely find that considerable portion of 1t
will be Of such nsture that you can't publish It,"
