Camaguey Cuba carrying with him the sum Of S. 600

former upon learning these facts called upon Mantia
stating that he was commissioned by General Manuel
dc Qucsada who held a similar appointment from
sedor Albania, to take charge Of any funds from
Camaruey.
Muntilla refused TO give up the money, when some
insulting remarks were made by the other and Mana
throttled him and called him liar Some bystanders

Gottschak." Mr.. Pattison's method is to begin with a
brief historical description Of the composer whose
works he confines himself for the evening Proceeding
with the rendition Of his selections ne gives his views OF
each work prior to its Interpretation For Gottschalk
Mr.. Pattison claimed much In the invention of new
combinations in musc-something peculiarly difficult
Gottschalk he states, was eminenty successful. He
the poet of the piano manifesting this in his own
performances He illustrated that Instruments beauty
usefulness and poetry and employed il to reflect his
mental condition. and II we to accept all his eulogst
claims he not only suggested emotions by sound but
pictured graphically all his subjects Half dozen
pieces selected to display hisStye, among which
the Iast Hope noticed for It's delicate harmonic
shading; "Pensee Poenque" rendered with a view to
the exhibition Of commendabe warmth and strength
OF sentiment and besides others the March de Mutt =
whose history relates that IL extemporized a
reflex of march described by Ossian which the
poser heard read at evenings entertainment in the
house of friend.
To say that these well rendered, as they I'M
douhediy WERE could hardly satisfy the claims Of the
pianist lecturer whose desire it that they should be
accepted vivid mental pictures of the subjects
treated.

About eight o'clock last evening fire broke out in
two story frame building on Van Colt avenue, near
Orchard street, Williamsburg, owned and occupied by
George H. Stone a sash and blind factory The Fire
Department was quickly on hand and in hour had
the flames under control but not before damage OF at
least SO, 900 had been done to stock building and
machinery. The unoccuped frame dwelling owned by
Frank Kenny, Immediately adjoining the factory, was
damaged $3.50 by IRE and water. The foreman Of the
factory, MIR. Van Syck states that at O'Clock the
place was cleaned up and closed as usual and that
there then evidences OF fire, and
could have occurred, IN his opinion, unless
a match had been applied The facts that the engine
room is in adjoining building, and that the lro
broke out in the hardware ROOM place wherein the
turpentne and oil stored give color TO the sup
position of incendiarism, and the matter will be
thoroughly investigated By Fire Marshal Kealy.
