This magnificent picture, which Is on
exhibition at Wiswelps, opposite Pixies,
is becoming still more popular among the
art critics and sight seers Of the city, as
1t remains longer and is more carefully
and thoroughly examined and its points
of excellence noted. In fact, the picture
has been before tile public but few
months, as it was only completed in Oc.
tober last, and has been on exhibition in
New York only since that'time.
The picture, as indicated by the name,
portrays the battle of Lookout Mountain,
and is, indeed, complete success, both
as a work Of art and an accurate and
vivid portrayal of the battle as it actual
ly occurred. The artist, Mr.. Walker
who was in the battle, "knows how il
was himself" as does also the owner
Fighting Joe. Hooker, who was not only
in it, but was, as is well known, the hero
of the occasion, and forms with his aid

The Gilmore Concert.

| Gilmore has succeeded. His ambition
has been as we said yesterday to organ
| ize band which should equal anything
the continent of Europe can produce,
and he has evidently succeeded.
| The attendance upon his first concert
| at Pixies last night, in spite Of the rain
and terrible streets, was very large. The
building was filled with an intelligent
laudience, and the overture as given by
the band was sufficient to prove to every
one present that Mr.. Gilmore's sue.
cess in the Grand Peace Jubilee and In.
ternational Jubilee, were equaled II not
surpassed by his success in organizing
this band. In fact, the audience seemed
completely en- rapport with the organiZa-
ton and with the leader from the first,
and the round after round OF eXtravagant
and enthusiastic applause at the close
of the overture showed that the success
of the enterprise was certainty, and
that the confidence of the people in Gil
more and his promises had not been
misplaced.

phone was enjoyed and appreciated by

cation which it has received and which

The rounds of applause which greeted
his coronet solo last evening showed that
his talent was highly appreciated. Alto
gether the success of the band is even
more than could have been expected, and
no one should allow it to leave town

Coroner Maley's investigation has re-
suited in some facts which may perhaps
lead to solution of the mystery sur
rounding the case.
Mr.. John Martin, ip whose employ
Sheck was for some years, says that he
was at one time worth about 10000, but
had probably become reduced in circum-
stances.
The relatives OF the deceased have been
found to live in. Huntington county, Pa,
and have been telegraphed for to come
to his funeral, which takes place to-mor-
row at o'clock from City Undertaken
Habig's.
He requested some time ago that he
should be buried in Spring Grove Oeme-
tery at his death.

a Strange MHStet'H.

| At six O'Clock last night Coroner Ma
lev was notified that dead man had
been found in small snanty in the rear
of Bishoprick's baking powder establish
ment, No. Ill West Fifth street. He at
once repaired to the place and found
that the facts Of the case, SO far as known,
| Jus tilted the holding Of an inquest. The
lbody was placed in charge of an under
ltaker and the inquest will commence to-
day.
There is considerable mystery CON-
nected with this case which the inquest
lmay probably explain. Nothing is
known of the old man who is apparently
about fifty-fve OF sixty years of age, eX-
cept that his name is Daniel Shock; that
he was formerly a tanner engaged in
business in this city, and that he came
to this city from Berks county, Pennsyl-
| that prompted him to lead the life OF a
HERMIT in the heart of great city are un-
l,vania. What were the circumstances
known.
| 1t is only known that about eight
months ago he first rented the little
room where his dead body was found
Yesterday. He told no one anything.
He paid his rent each month as prompt
| ly as the day came round. He bought q
small stove, and this, with one chair and
rude cot, completed his furniture. He

who came and went without saying any
thing to anybody. Altogether his lite
there was one OF mystery and darkness
Monday was his rent day, and the fact
| of his not coming into Bishoprlck's store
as usual, to pay his rent, seems to prove
that he died Sunday night, or early Mon
day morning. Yesterday Mr.. BISHOP
rick, not having seen his tenant or heard
him stirring about as usual, or seen the
smoke ascending from the chimney, went
10 the window in the south end OF the
shanty and looked In. He saw the old
man lying on the cot and called to him,
| but received no answer.
He called again but received no an
swer. and becoming alarmed he sent for
| a policeman and forced an entrance into
| the room, when it was found that the old
man was dead.
His history still remains profound
secret. There are no indications that
would lead to the belief that he came to
his death from violence.
A search was made and an old leather
pocket book found concealed beneath the
mattress of the cot on which the body
was found, and it contained twenty dol
lars and thirty cents and five promisso-
ry notes.
Two of the notes were drawn January
10. 1878, by George r. Martin & Son, pay
able one year after date, to the order of
Daniel Shock, and calling for liza DO
and $644, respectively, bearing six per

| The managers OF the Grand Opera
house of this city announce that they
have made arrangements for the appear
ance in that house of the actress, Mad
ame Adelaide Nelson Lee, on the Sth of
March, and several evenings thereafter.
In making such announcement the
managers of the Grand Opera-house
show an utter ignorance of the position
and principles of Cincinnati theater
goers, or presume upon their good ma
| ture by supposing they can not see that
such announcement is an insult to them.
No gentleman will invite respectable
| lady to 60 with him to see Madame Ade-
laide Nelson Lee perform. No respect
able gentleman will himself go. 1t is
paying poor compliment to theater
goers to assume that they are Indifferent
as to the character Of an actress so that
she plays well. Madame Lees immor.
alities have become too widely notorious
| for people to ignore them.
To be sure she came here some months
since under the auspices of the Woods
Theater management, but Manager Ma
cauley engaged her before he knew any,
| thing of the great scandal about inhdeli-
tY to her marriage vows, indeed before a
lisp Of it had been waited from over the
sea. After it all came out and the full
copy of proceedings in the British Courts
was published, showing that Madame
Lee had been faithless to her own hus-
band and the means Of causing divorce
between another husband and wife, Mr..
MacauIey regretted exceedingly that he
had an engagement with her, it resulting
in marked failure.
There is not such dearth of amuse-
merits in this city that decentpe will
go to listen to indecent characters when
they know it. Madame Adelaide Neil
son Lee went from here to Louisville;
there she was completely ignored. Lou
isvillians had too much selt-respect to go
near her. An engagement i'll Brooklyn
was also total failure.
In the face of all this the Grand Opera
house managers of tEis city assume that
their patrons are Indifferent as to the
morals of actresses.
We advise all Cincinnati theater-
goers to manifest their just indignation
at such supreme disregard of their self
respect, by Systematically staying away
from the Grand Opera-house and let the
manager be his own audience during the
engagement OF Madame Adelaide Neil
| son Lee.
