A HEALTHY PRosPECr.-The prospect
for big police docket this morning
was decidedly healthy last night.
Among the number Of those incarcera-
ted were two women who got into q
war OF words and wound up by attack
ing each others chignons. The GALA
boose had full compliment of occu-
pants, to whom Judge Rodgers will
speak sweet words Of peace and comfort
this morning.

RIVER NEvs.-The river is rising
here at the rate Of about two inches an
hour. When We were last at the marks
they indicated seventeen feet six inches.
At Pittsburgh there was q swell OF
eleven feet in twenty-four hours, yes
terday mornings dispatch giving the
depth of the water there at fifteen feet
six inches and rising.
The ice is running out very rapidly.
1t is quite heavy and Of course prevents
any immediate resumption Of naviga-
ton. We think it will be all gone BY
Saturday. unless we have another Of
those sudden freezes for which this win
ter has been famous.
The Express has dropped down from
her harbor near the boatyard to the
wharf and is ready to start for Park
ersburg as scon as the river is clear.

GAZING IN.-The corner OF Fifth and
Union streets passes over the top Of the
old Sutton coal bank, and for day or
two it has been gradually caving in,
until now there is about hundred feet
of street, sidewalk, crossing and curb
stone "gone down below" The corner
of Mrs. Sutton's house has also settled
and seems to be in q very dangerous
condition, although measures have been
taken to render it secure by "sboring
it up and with heavy props on the out
side. tits good many years since the
coal bank was worked, and since it has
been abandoned il has served the pur-
pose Of a drain. Ash now 10 it is very
dangerous, and measures looking to the
security of the street should be taken
at once.

POLICE CouRf.-Auothsr fair gather
ing before the court yesterday.
William Shaffer is q stray waif from
the Canadian possessions of H. B. N.
Queen Victoria. By the waves OF An
adverse fortune be was thrown upon
our shores. Ever since his arrival he
has enjoyed calm repose in the police
court room after night, where stretched
upon the soft side Of plank, he dream
ed Of other days, and suored at the
"blarsted Yankees" around him. As
William is q stalWart, muscular Kan
muck, Officer Wallace thought that he
had loafed long enough and that he
should 60 to work and earn a livsli-
hood, and therefore refused to permit
NIT him to lounge about the place any
longer. When William arrived at the
police court room on Tuesday evening
about six o'clock, he found himself
locked out. he ratified at the doors,
and banged, and kicked, and finally
took q club and whaled away at the
windows, breaking the glass and sash.
Wallace arrested him and yesterday
Judge Rodgers fined him s. and costs
or twenty days on the chain gang.
Having no wherewith he joineth the
geological school.
Allen McMansway was found prowl-
ing around the streets, on Tuesday
afternoon, very drunk. He confessed
the offense and was very sorry. He
rad a headache az big as horse, don't
you see. He was fined g and costs.
Boose Leasure and Steel Miller got
into fight over bottle of whisky in
which they claimed joint partnership.
Whether Boose kept drinking after
Steel said bob" or Steel kept bobbing
after Boose said drink" we couldn't
clearly make out. 1t was clear, how
ever, that they were in the little alley
running from Union street to Market
alley, west OF Market street, and were
fighting. They were fined IS and costs
or twenty days chain gang, each. or
course, they join the geological corps.
As Orloff Miller was going up John
street, on Tuesday afternoon, man
named William Garner crossed the
street and assaulted him. OF course,
the attack brought on bit of a row.
Garner made his escape, but Miller
was arrested. He was before the Police
Court yesterday, morning, and the
facts appearing about as we have given
them above. Miller was discharged
from custody.

THs PIrrr Coscl.nar.-one of the

-
TIE PATTI CoNcaRr.-One of the
most elegant audiences ever gathered
in Washington Hall assembled there
last night to hear Patti, Mario and the
artists associated with them There
was . delightful contrast Of colors and
Q richness of toilet that made the audi
forum - bright and beautiful a. .
garden OF roses. The concert was IN
every way . success. Patti Was in
splendid voice and sang with that
abandon that made her 90 vastly popu-
lar when she was Little Patti." She
sang for an encore that delightful
Scotch ballad within mile OF Edin-
boro' town." as she only can sing it.
Miss Cary, the Contralto, has
q wonderful voice, one Of great power
and sweetness. In answer to an en-
core she sang Kathleen Msvourneen"
in a manner that afforded the greatest
delight to her auditors. But the gem
of the concert was the Laughing
Song" by Patti. 1t compensated for
any short comings and put everybody
in q good humor with her, themselves
and everybody else. Mile Teresa Car
reno is one of the few ladies We ever
saw who knows how to manipulate the
piano. She has q dashing freedom OF
style, q perfect command of the instru'
ment and hearty earnestuess OF e1ecu-
ton that is wonderfully taking. Or
Mario we can only say he is not the
Mario of other days. Age and free
living is telling on his voice, and al
though it is still very sweet and far
above the average, it is getting shaky
and husky. But we haven't space to
say all We would like to about the
concert ard must content ourself with
repeating the very general sentiment OF
the audience, that it was superb.
We have . little rod in pickle for
those who so idiotically insisted on en-
coring everything that is sung or per-
formed in the course Of an evening. 1t
may be idle to protest against it, but 1t
is nuisance that ought to be absted.
We do not object 10 hearty demonstra'
tions Of approval. These indicate
satisfaction that is stimulating to artists,
and places them in pleasant relations
with those whom it is their mission to
entertain. In exceptional cases OF gen.
eral and obvious delight, q repetition
may be graceful and gracious favor
which is pleasant to see conveyed.
But this is widely different from the
wholesale system of demanding repe-
titions that is becoming the habit
with portions Of our audlen-
ces. They are not the most
numerous portion, but in the vigor Of
their youth and persistency they sue
coed in making noise out OF proper
ton to their real strength, and thus
induce artists uuwillingly to acquiesce
and compel the balance Of audiences to
submit Do these enthusiastic people
realize that there is culpable disregard
Of good manners in their proceedings'
We presume not, but their ill-breeding
is none the less manifest. To urge
upon singer, who has appeared and
indicated wish to be excused, the rep
etitiou of Q difficult performance, that
il they knew anything Of music they
would be aware has been a tax both
upon mental and physical faculties, is
to perpetrate boorish act, which is not
at all redeemed by the enforced acqul-
escence that may follow it.
