A Second Enjoyable Concert Last Even
ing--Sunday Evening at the Athenaeum.
The audience last night was not quite SO
large as on Tuesday night last, but still the
Opera house was fairly filled, the upper part of
the house quite SO, showing that prejudice
against this, the best part of the house for the
full enjoyment of concert is giving way to
common sense. There never were SO many
ladies in the dress circle as last night. 1t is
perhaps needless to say that the concert was
most enjoyable one; the programme was hardly
so attractive to the popular ear-the solos not
SO brilliant-as at the former concert, but in
several instances they were far more difficult
OF execution. The cello fantasia from Sirvais
was masterly performance, wonderful in
technlquesand exquisite in tone; the flute solo
Romance" saint Saens) was also finished
performance OF a composition full of the most
difficult technicalities The quartette
from Beethoven in Op. IL, was a perfect
study in phrasing and beautiful shading,
especially the Adagio. 1t may be said that
the whole instrumentalization is seldom
equalled for breadth Of conception, delicacy of
shading and beauty of tone-there is never
with any of these artists the slightest uncer-
tainty, but every tone is clear and we'll de-
fined, even when exquisitely delicate Miss

WASHINGTON, March AFTER full considers
ton and consultation with the members of
both Houses of Congress the secretary of the
treasury has determined that the first silver
dollars to be issued will be used only in ex-
change at par with gold coin or for the purchase
of silver bullion at the market price. He does
not feel at liberty to use them to pay for cur
rent expenses, until the amount coined is suf-
fcient to furnish all alike without discrimin-
alton, nor does he deem it expediens ut present
to exchange them for United States notes or to
use them in the payment of interest on the
public debt, until the amount coihed is suf-
fcient to enable him to do SO impartially.
Therefore they will at present be used for the
purchase of silver bullion at market rates.
The silver certificates will soon be ready for
issue, and are of the form of bank notes, en-.
graved in the best manner and printed on bank
note fibre paper.

Alarming Fire at the Memphis Elevator
Landins--FortunatelyO Only Two or Three
Lives Lost.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March AT 2:30 this
morning the Anchor Line steamer "City of
Chester was totally destoyed by fire at the
elevator. The boat arrived about midnight
from St. Louis, and Captain Zeigler, who was
unwell, retired, after putting the mate, whose
watch it was, in charge. A number of servants
were at work in the cabin when the fire was
discovered, and the first intimation they had of
danger was seeing the flames bursting through
the cabin. An alarm was sounded
and every effort made to arrest
the flames, but within three minutes
the whole forward portion of the boat was
wrapped in flames and threatening the destruc-
tion of the elevator. Capt. Zeigler, who had
escaped to the elevator, by running through
the tire with his clothes his face to protect
1T, ordered the boat to be cut loose in order to
save the elevator-all who had remained on the
boat being at the stern, and unable to get to
the elevator. AS soon the lines were cut
many OF those on board plunged into the river
and were picked up by persons in skiffs.
The tug "Orier' and transfer boat Pierson
had in the meantime come to the rescue and
many were taken off. The tug then towed the
WlcCA W d pOluL opposite flckerlng ana
beached it on a sand bar. Only two persons
are known to be lost-John Herman, mail agent
and the barber, A. N. Simpson. The second
clerk, and one of the pilots saved themselves
by leaping from the hurricane roof into the
river and were picked up. The boat had q.
and a large number of mules and hogs, all of
which we're lost. The cries of the animals
were terrible and impressed the crowd
which gathered on the bluff with belief that
the sufferers were human beings. About seven
o'clock the boilers exploded, jarring the whole
teen passengers and the two persons mentioned
above are the only ones lost. The boat was
owned by the Memphis & st. Louis Packet COM
pany, and is valued at $4,000. Gus 'Zehler, a
well known barber of this city, was also on
the City of Chester lrst night. He was pas
senger from st. Louis, where he had gone to
settle the affairs of a brother who died last
