Mr.. Inger3oll OF Water street, New York, for
whom johnson has worked for years, scouts the
notion OF suicide, saying that Johnson's tenn

who would think OF such a thing. He says that
johnson has for long time paid OF tho en-

that johnson had the money with bin with

Mr. Ingerson further says that Johnsons love

The NTH concert of Won Bnlow's present
season was given last evening at Chickering
Hall. As Is naturally the case with all ar sts OF
true and sterling merit, the interest in their
work increases a. they become better known,
and Won Dulow's audiences are proof that this
is the case with him.
He played last evening, together with Monsieur
Aubert, a violonceliist, two works for piano and
yioloncelo, tho first being suite by the French
composer Saint-Saens. the other an introduce
tion and polonaise. one Of Chouin's earlier and
less interesting compositions.
The suite was a graceful smooth, and melodt-
Gus. but not very strong work. 80 far "a Won
BulOw was cOncerne !. his part in IL was Tor the
most part little more than accompanimcnt VI.
Aubert Is evidently a player Of refinement aud
sonsioiity, but his tone was thin aud lacked
power.
Mr. Won Bulow PLAYED four OF Lszi's lesser
compositions. six OF Mendelssohn's songs with
out words. and that composers seventeen scn-
Gus variations. This last IA always reg. rdei by

WAsHINGroN, Jan. 4.-The District Ring
have prepared and had printed . pamphlet Of
twenty-five pages for private circulation among
members OF Congress for tue purpose OF bulling
the threo-sixty-nve unlimited District bonds.
The pamphlet Is printed at tho expense OF the
District taxpayers, and the Ring has man
aged Il so that the District Commissioners
shall distribute II. The fact ia that
most OF these bonds are held by Ring
contractors and their allies In New York. The
trick Is too plain and won't work. All the opin-
ions favorable to the Ring are quoted. but tney
leave out the crushing opinion OF Mr.. Fairchild,
Attorney G. eneral Of New York. Notwithstand :
ing all these opinions, the bonds are only quoted
at 6s. The effort Is to make the public believe
that they arc guaranteed by the United States
Government. The Ring has captured several
virginia Congressmen. who, they think, will
push this lob through.
