A CONCERT WHICH DID Not COME orr
HOlr q NuI0ttO SCHNEIDER Named Smith Got
AlrGg nth fQty Dollars Of Other Peoples
M0ney.-The concert advertised to be given
by the Fisk West Tennessee Jubilee Sing
ers" last night, at the Congregational church,
brought together an audience of over one hun
dIed persons, who paid their entrance fees
hfty cents each-and waited patiently for the
performers to appear. The agent, or pretend
ed agent, mulattO man who gave his name
as smith, remained at the door taking money
until the audience, becoming impatient, com
menced manifesting restlesSnesS, but no signs
OF the performers were yet visible. Finally,
MT Jerome L. johnson, one of the trustees OF
The church, walked down the aisle, and mount
ing the stand, stated that he had disagree
aDle tact to announce-namely, that the agent
had jumped away with the funds, and he had
further aScertalned that the Fisk troupe were
now In Europe. The audience sat for mo-
ment still as death, sly glances being cast from
pulled down to conceal their Sickly smiles.
They finally commenced slowly leaving the
church, the most unenthuSiastic audience ever
to be the same individual who a few years ago
purchased loads of corn from the cOuntrymen
In our market, and swindled them out of their
pay.
