ST.. CHARLES THEArRE.-If we are to take the
word Of the Boston Post, The Traveller, The
Journal, The Globe, The Transcript, Daily Ad-
uertiser, The Daily Herald, and in fact Of every
respectable paper in Boston, we are to have q
treat on Sunday next at the st. Charles Theatre,
where Callender's Georgia Ministries will make
their first appearance in this city. The troupe,
composed of twenty genuinesnegroes, is spoken
of in unusually enthusiastic terms by these
papers. The Boston Herald tells us that they
we're visited by forty thousand people during
says that their fun is fresh and wholesome, with
out being coarse, and that they we're one Of the
most pronounced successes of the season. The
7Fduelef, always reliable, says of their enter
tainments, that they were the best ever given in
that city.
The Journal says that their success was i'm
mense, and the Aduertiser Gays that they are at
the head of the minstrel business in the country.
What comfort after the weak shows which We
have been compelled to endure heretofore.
We anticipate q crowded auditorium on the
opening night of the st. Charles, and therefore
advise our readers to secure their seats several
days in advance.

NEW YORK, Oct 13-Miles G. Parker, thu
late Treasurer Of the State Of South Carolina
WIS arrested late Friday night on charge o.
9mbezzlement and started on his journey tx
South Carolina this afternoon. Agent Butler
intended removing him on Friday night, inn
mediately after his arrest, but Parker begged
that he changed his mind. Parker and his
custodian sailed on the steamer Charleston.
Parker's denial that he is fugitive from
Justice is said to be false. During Gov. Cham
berlain's administration he was indicted by
the Columbia county grand jury for various
populations, and was arrested. He was com.
united to Jail, but, with the aid Of confeder-
ates, succeeded In making his escape. Dis
carding his good clothing, he made his way
through the South in the character of a
tramp, and on arriving finally In Jersey City,
settled there and became the leader of several
religious and temperance reform movements.

DEATH OF MIR. 8. DROsTE.
His Body Was Found Floating in the
Canal CarOndelet.

His Body Was Found Floating i'm the
Canal CarOndelet.
On Tuesday our community was very much ex-
| cited and grieved over the mysterious disappear
ance Of Mr.. 8. Droste, worthy beer saloon
keeper, doing business at No. 166 Common street,
who left his place OF business at two O'Clock
Tuesday morning, and whose whereabouts were
unknown until yesterday at one O'Clock, when
his body was found by young man named
MoGse floating in the Old Canal at the Claiborne
street bridge.
After diligent search had been instituted for
Mr.. Droste, and before his body had been found,
it was the firm belief Of many of his friend that
upon which this belief was based were, that il
was well known fact that Mr.. Droste was
known to always carry q large sum of money on
his person. As soon as sufficient time had been
allowed for the lost one to return and he did not
put in an appearance, the police and detectives
were instructed to work up the case.
The first clue that the police got was that Mr..
Droste had been seen at 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing on Toulouse street. A later investigation
disclosed the fact that he had taken a glass OF
Third Precinct After taking the drink MIR.
Droste left the officer, and when next seen he
was on Toulouse street, between Rampant and
Burgundy streets. This was the last seen of him
canal.
When the body was brought ashore and viewed
by the coroner the deceased had his gold watch
and chain and $l13 05 on his person. The watch
ming at quarter to 5 o'clock. coroner's iury
was immediately empaneled and as there was no
indication that would give rise to the belief that
the deceased had been fouly dealt with, and all
the evidence going to show that the deceased
WAS in happy circumstances, socially and pecu-
niarily, the conclusion was that he had acci-
dentaly fallen into the canal, and verdict was
rendered in accordance with these facts.
Mr.. Droste was q native Of Germany and 46
years old at the time Of bis death. he was an
industrious and thrifty citizen, connected with
several of our benevolent associations and an
exempt member Of Philadelphia Fire Company
No. IA, and also member Of Harmony Club.
He leaves wife and eight children to mourn
his loss.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

Three More Hours of Executive Session,
But No Result.
The School Board met again last evening at I'll Q
Boys High School, on Burgundy street, President
semmes in the chair and full board present.
Immediately after calling the roll the board went
into executive session, and adjourned about half
past 10 o'clock to meet again this evening at 6
o'clock.
We learn that on Tuesday evening the princi-
pals and first assistants we're considered and
generally agreed upon, and assigned to the var1-
GUS schools; not definitely, however. Last night
one or two of the teachers who had been unsuc-
