Hubbell & Fishers Opening.

The green leaves of rare exotics added a
spring-like cheerfulness to the handsome
rooms of Hubbell & Fisher, Nos. IS and IS
West Fourth street, this morning on the
occasion Of their graad opening. The air
was redolent of the odor OF many flowers,
and every lady visitor was agreeably sur
prised by being presented with a handsome
bouquet, which was carried away as re-
membrance Of the liberality of these most
enterprising merchants. Beautiful flowers
greeted the visitor at every turn, here
woven into odorous wreaths, and there
shaped into gaudy pyramids, but every
where fresh and fair and fragrant as the
blossoms of q summer garden.
The invitation which had been generally
extended TO the ladies of Cincinnati and
| the neighboring cities was eagerly accepted
and the pleased proprietors with their host
| of efficient clerks discovered that it was no
small task to give proper reception to the
throng which continuously passed in and
out during the day.
The display was simply magnificent, and
comprised such variety of elegant goods
as has seldom been opened for inspection
in this city.
Among these were ladies' suits in silk,
cashmere, cheviot and bourette, made up
handsomely as walking calling and parlor
suits. These elegant and stylish costumes,
which have certainly never been surpassed
anywhere, and which called forth the most
enthusiastic praise from the visitors, are
the joint productions of noted Partisan,
Berlin and New York artists.

THE BALDWIN MYSTERY.


Coroner Carrick, in company with DR..
Brunning, Mr.. Ammi Baldwin and Mr..
Vim. Wiswell, Jr., drove out to Spring
Grove yesterday afternoon and opened the
coffin of Harry Baldwin for the purpose OF
making a personal examination of the
wound and its surroundings, to ascertain
the truth or falsity of the suicide theory.
Microscopic glasses were used, but no
marks of powder were found,
and but the slightest indication
of any hair having been singed.
A portion of the cuticle about the size of
half dollar was then removed and given to
Drs. Carson, Drumming and cambridge for
the purpose Of subjecting it to the test Of
very powerful microscope, while the Cor
oner made several experiments by shooting
at piece Of all wool white flannel with a
twenty-five caliber pistol, with the follow
ing results:
l. At two feet distance no SINCE or
burned appearance, but slight powder
marks.
2. AT eighteen inches no singe or burned

Miss 0ster's Testimonial.

A fine audience assembled at College Hall
last evening, on the occasion of the testi-
monial benefit concert rendered Miss Marie
Oster by Madame Rive and pupils The
programme was quite long, but was of great
excellence.
The fair beneficiary never appeared to
better advantage, and gave her admirers re-
newed faith in her abilities as singer. Her
first number, the beautiful ballad by Ma
dame Rive, II Never Can Forget Thee, ="
was sweetly sung, but it was Verdi's "Ah!
f Lui Che 'aniina" that showed to full
advantage her powers.
Mrs. Humphries sang with her old-time
sweetness and power Marguerite at the
Spinning Wheel, from Faust" The trio,
"Ave Marie" by Mrs. Humphries and
Misses Estep and Greever, was so well sung
that an encore was insisted upon.
The piano solo by Miss Ida Holterhoff'
was worthy the warm applause it received,
as was the solo, ooh! fu Sono," by Miss
Lulu Nichols. OF Madame Rive's perform
ance it is unnecessary to speak. 1t was the
same bright, delicate rendering as of old.
