1t has been the "town talk " for q week,
and not to be there last evening would be
voted extremely questionable. Young
men forsook their routine of gayeties /;
neglected their duties donned their broad
cloth, and, armed with button-hole bou-
quets, proceeded to congregate in good
round numbers. Many were gallant
enough to escort ladies, as the evening
advanced, but this was a ladies affair.""
and before the twilight hours the ladies Of
the city were ~there-they went en- masse /;
then OF course the gentlemen had to come,
and this neat little ruse filled the Opera
House to overlooking. We passed MP II
ticket and went in about 8 o'clock. To
obtain a seat was out Of the question even
at that early hour. The gallery was
crowded, SO We leaned up againt the wall
and listened TO the programme Of the con-
cert. The list of vocalists included the
ladies' who have been named heretofore in
the SENTINEL, as to appear on this occa-
sion and to say that their efforts were en-
Enthusiastically received is putting it very
lightly. The instrumental solos were
encorcd repeatedly and, indeed, the old
hall was made to resound with thuuders OF
applause, which was well merited by the
entire corps Of performers.
The ladies at the various stands were not
Of the old-school stripe-to seize a man
bodily and take what money he happened
to have about him. And still the merry
click Of coin was almost continual over
their tables; II a gentleman happened TO
pass in a SIS gold piece, he did not trouble
the lady for the change-and thus heaped
Goals Of fire on the heads Of those in the
gallery, who couldn't get down among
this lavish display Of tempting articles.
Temperate lunch, cool lemonade and cooler
ice-cream kept the blood Of the enthusiastic
participants in fine condition, and each
and every one communed together as be-
come the society people of Eureka.
THE PROMENADE
Commenced abont 10 o'clock and was led
by as fine q band-the orchestra Of the
concert-as Nevada can boast. The super
intcndent OF the dance-music and leader,
is one Of our most noted musicians, and
showed his capability to carry the throng
into ecstacics. Tho music was q marvel
the dancing gorgeous it was like a vision
Of fairy land the rapid changes OF color
were bewildering costume and form float
ed about az do the characters of q dream.
In fact, the Promenade and Concert were
jewels in the crown Of the ladies who
originated it. and will long be remembered
with pleasure by those who attended last
evening.

AT the earnest solicitation of his many
friends, a West Hill boy consented to al
low his name and himself to go before a
watermelon patch in the suburbs Wednes-
day night. The convention was somewhat
disorderly, owing to the appearance Of a
strong delegation from the farm house that
came in without credentials, and insisted
on being heard. 1t was entirely irregular,
Of course, but all the same the boy was
seized in an inverted attitude just as he
was climbing over the fence, and the
chairman of the new delegation famed
his suburbs with a hedge switch until he
consented, for the sake Of peace and har-
mony. to withdraw, which he did, at the
rate of about a the usand miles an hour.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Six Stores and Two Churches
Burned.
Loss From ss0o,000 to $1,000, 600

New YORK. Feb. 17.-At five minutes past
o'clock this evening fire broke out in the
sixth story of an iron front building known as
the Excelsior blOcB, on the south side of 23d
street, near Seventh Avenue The building
Contained six stores, ftom No. PIG to 226, inciu-
sive. The 23d street Presby tsrian church sd-
joining it on the east and the Scotch Covenan-
ter's Presbyterian church on the west side,
were entirely destroyed The total loss is vari-
ously estimated from $500,000 to 81 100000.
The third and fourth floors of the Excelsior
building were occupied as an armory and drill
rooms of the S.h regiment of the National
Guards; fifth and sixth floors were used for
manufacturing furniture by TheO. D0cuch 8
Co.; the second floor was uuoccupied and the
first floor was used for salesrooms. The tenants
on the ground floor were VIM. Gross & Co.,
furniture, No. ZIG; the Manhattan Steam
Laundry, No. 224, and the Zero Refrigerator
Co., No. 226; No. 200 was vacant. The build
log was built in 1870 by Joseph H. Ingersoli,
during the palmy days of the Tweed ring, and
is said to have cost 100000 The roller skat-
ing link was being fitted up ia it, and the
w0rkmen were busy to-day using hot tar in
preparation of the floor 1t is thought the fire
originated through the carelessness of the
workmen in handling it, The janitor of the
armory, Tbos. Murphy, had barely time to es-
csps with his family. The regimental flags of
the Sth regiment were saved, but all the rest of
their property. including 800 stand of arms,
were destroyed
The Twenty-third street Presby yterian church
was valued at 100000 with its contents, and
was insured for $45,OOO. The Covenanters
church cost $50 900 and was insured for SIG 900.
The Presbyterian church had tall spre, the
burning of which presented a most beautiful
sight.
The Excelsior block has been regarded as a
dangerous building aud the surrounding prop
erty owners have had to pay an extra rate of
insurance on account of the proximity. 1t was
owned by w. ID. OGilvie, lugersolps father
| iu-law.
Itis impossible this evening to ascertain the
amount of insurance, or the Individual losses

THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
The Story Which Hewitt. nida,t r.

The Story Which Hewitt Didat Tell.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The Sun says the fol.
lowing is the unwrtten history of the electoral
count, which Mr. Hewitt threatened to tell q
few days ago in the House, but which, after
consultation with Randolph Tucker and Glib
son, he did not tell:
On Sunday, Dec. 8, 1876, Hewitt had an in.
terview with President Grant, during which
they talked over the political situation, and
Grant expressed his views with great frank
ness. He had doubts, he said, as to the result
10 Louisiana, and intimated it was his private
Judgment that the electoral vote of that State
should not be counted at all. He was careful.
however, to impress upon Hewitt that the de-
cision OF this and all kindred questions was
wholly outside the province of the Executive.
Ii belonged exclusively to Congress. 1t would
be his duty, however, TO see that the decision.
whatever IL might be, was acquiesced in. If
necessary, he would enforce 1T. He stated,
also, it was his conviction that the constitution
gave the president of the Senate alone the DOW
er to count the votes aud declare the result.
Whoever might be declared the President elect
by the president of the Senate he would be ia
augurated and installed in Office.
Hewitt's return from the interview at the
White House was awaited anxiously by a num-
ber OF prominent Democrats, who had gathered
at his rooms. Among the number we're those
Wel-known Southern gentlemen. Randall s.
Gioson, Randolph Tuuker and L. @ @. Lamar
Hewitt narrated in full his conversation with
General Grant.
After he had told his story, Lamar, Gibson
and Tucker held consultation apart from the
others, and subsequently, on that same evening
Gibson told Hewitt they would be compelled to
sustain that construction of the constitution
which invested the president of the Senate with
the power to count the electoral votes and
make declaration Of the result.
